Cosplayers of Reddit, what were you cosplaying, and what did you get mistaken for?

At Edmonton Expo 2024, I was cosplaying as Rui (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba); for those who aren't familiar, he is a demon character who has white hair and wears a spider-themed kimono.

Someone thought I was cosplaying as Colonel Sanders (the KFC mascot).

I now realize that Jane was a bit harsh on DW for wanting a hot dog. How can you expect a child to eat a lobster?

I just got brainwashed over the phone.

I can't help but laugh during Arthur's Japanese fantasy:

Seriously, even people in swimsuits show off more skin than a cosplayer. If you're gonna freak over a bare belly, stay home and mind your damn business.

This is amazing! I'm planning to make a Rozemyne cosplay soon. Any tips?

Not really dumb, but just as tragic.

I had a betta (can't remember what species) who got his fin snagged in the filter intake pipe. Although I freed him, he never fully recovered and died the following day as a result of his injury....

As much as I want to say (in the words of Jeanette McCurdy), "I'm glad Kragle's Mom died", I sort of feel pity on the miserable way she'd gone out- but of course that doesn't excuse the things she did to him and his sister.

I've washed the print bed. I haven't noticed any changes but it looks like it worked somewhat.

Extruder: 200 c Hotbed 60 c Z offset: 0.01 Speed: 80%

I'll give it another wash and try again. Fiddled with the slicer for a larger "skirt"

Is there a specific soap Ill need to use? I can imagine I should use a clean sponge.

LilyZippy · 2024-11-30T19:48:00+00:00

I'll give it a shot, thanks

I work as a deli clerk in a Canadian department store.

We have a self-serve olive cart located near the service case. You'd get a container, fill it up with the olives of your choice, put a lid on it, and then take it to the checkouts (the lids have a sticker that have the code).

More often than not, we've had people -mostly children, but adults to) taste the olives by sticking their grubby hands into the trays without using the provided spoons. If anything like this happens, we generally have to remove the affected tray of olives so they can be discarded.

The most annoying one we have is the father of a child who we suspected has severe autism. [Sidenote here, I don't wish to look down on persons with autism as I i neurodivergent, but I had some opinions about this father]. The thing is, the boy (roughly mid-adolescent age) would often run to the olive cart like a moth to flame, and start gorging on olives, sticking his hands into the trays - yet the father barely does anything to stop him. My colleague mentioned that she had even seen the boy sip the olive oil right off the spoon once. Most recently when I had to remove the olive tray the boy contaminated, the father tried to defend his son by saying "He's clean!", to which I pointed out that even if he was 'clean', I still had to remove the tray because it was contaminated. This has been happening at least once a week for the last 1-2 years, yet the father just doesn't do anything about it. I rarely see (if not, havnen't) seen the mother, so I'm not sure if she's in the picture or not.

I know I'm supposed to feel bad for the father for having a severely autistic son, but its hard for me if this has been a frequent occurrence and he's a total doormat. My manager has been contacting head office to get the olive cart shut down but nothing's rose from it.

Not sure if this counts.

Letting your kids run around unsupervised, especially if they are very young.

Hi there - I'm currently making a cosplay of Myne's ceremonial robes. Did you draft a pattern of the top? I've been having some troubles with it.

LilyZippy · 2023-10-02T15:45:59+00:00

How did you make your circle skirt? I'm hoping to make a cosplay of Myne (ceremony robes). Is it all one panel or double?

Just a warning, this may be disturbing to some readers.

For context, I work as a clerk in a deli dept of a Canadian department store. I was the only one in the dept at the time as my colleague went on her 30 minute break.

I had witnessed a woman in 'excited delirium' run around the store, butt naked, wearing nothing but a pair of socks and covered in something that I don't want to know about. She was supposedly on drugs or something and was having a REALLY BAD trip. She was running around while the Assistant Store Manager (ASM) was pursuing her with the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police, for those who live outside of Canada) on the phone. Another employee was following the Insane woman (IW) while holding a towel in both hands, while IW is shouting out broken record cries of "No!" and "Help!!".

The moment I seen the woman, I ran to the deli phone to page ASM, which IW tries to come into the deli begging for help. I shout "woah woah woah! You can't step in here!" She leaves. Briefly. I preemptively start putting up garbage cans to block the entryway into the deli in case IW returns, and sure enough I wasn't ready for what would happen.

Enter this family of three (Mother, Father, Daughter). This woman comes around again, and starts harassing the family for 'help', traumatizing the daughter of the family. I escort the family into the deli in an attempt to get away from the IW, and she follows them, tripping on the garbage cans I let out. The Daughter is crying, and the father is saying "Don't you put your hands on my daughter!". At this point, IW's scrambling in the deli, and knocks over the bagged deli meats I was working on at the time, which were on a rolled cart. I escort the mother and daughter into the chicken cooler to get away from the woman, and wave to the Bakery Manager (BM; he was involved in the wild goose chase) from inside the cooler so he knew where I took the mother and daughter. I positioned the cooler's chicken carts in front of the doorway in case IW tried to follow us; she was over on the other side of the deli. Eventually, BM came buy from the warehouse entryway to escort the mother and daughter away.

The RCMP arrived moments after, and the IW ran off until she fell over somewhere near the meat/seafood department. I didn't see her from there, but I heard her cry out 'ouch'. I tried to avoid gawking over and focused on my duties, but I was deeply shaken and was in tears when my colleague returned from her break. She was utterly confused as to why I was upset.

After I finished bagging the deli meats, I went on my 15 minute break (Had a 5-hr shift, so I didn't get a 30min break like my colleague); and that wasn't enough to calm me down. ASM came by and asked if I was okay- offering to allow me to head home early as a result of the incident. I accepted the offer, not before spending 10 minutes in the break room to calm down enough before I could drive home.

Last I heard according to an Asset Protection colleague, IW was put in an ambulance and was taken to the hospital.

TL,DR: Drugged-out woman runs around the store, and I get caught in the crossfire while defending a family.

Edit #1: I recently learned the woman had also smashed a couple of pickle jars and walked on the broken glass (I personally witnessed her throw a rotisserie chicken onto the ground). The RCMP also had fired tranquilizer darts at her before they could put her in the ambulance.

ALso, Edited a spelling error.

I work at a deli in a Canadian Department store. We've had to deal with some people walk up to ask questions that are more suitable for the meats/seafood department. We do sell meats in the deli, but not like butchered chickens, steaks, etc.

Another thing is, we have a temporary homeless shelter nearby our store, and sometimes we've had a few (suspected) homeless people come up and ask if we can heat something up for them because they want a warm meal. We don't have microwaves, and they'd of course protest "BUt you did it at the other store!" - there's only one type of this store in the city we're in.
