Does cosplay count if it’s one of your RPCs? Eh, this is the closest relevant topic.
Explanation of the character can be found in that quote, but the short version is that they’re a Robin Hood meets Lone Ranger and uses an oversized top hat as their mask. Hence the moniker of the Topper Bandit.
This is the second time I’ve been to a comic convention and decided to dress up this go around. Seemed like it would make the event more fun. I didn’t have a lot of time to put together a costume and Topper Bandit seemed like the easiest to do semi-accurately on a short notice.
Yes, I could see out of it and well enough to navigate the space. Hearing and being heard, however, was another matter entirely. I was so worried about sight, I forgot to consider what affect it would have on my hearing and speaking. That might be faux suede, satin ribbon, wire, and poster board, but it might as well have been a five gallon bucket over my head as far as sound was concerned.

Great now it’s a guessing game 
How many other people in costume were there?

There were a good number of people in costume, despite it being the last day. I’m not certain what the percentage I would give it, at least for anything accurate, but it felt like around 70% were in costume. I was with a group of four others who also were all in costume. One Jason Todd/Red Hood, one MCU Winter Soldier, one MCU Star Lord, and one of the knights from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, though I’m blanking on which knight specifically.
I had counted about a dozen unique Freddy Krueger’s before I gave up keeping track. Evidently, the actor was there so a ton of people where dressed as him to varying degrees. But there was a lot of variety. From simple Halloween costumes to the meticulously designed foam suits of Warhammer 40K marines - massive franchises like Star Wars with movie accurate and functioning BB-8 drones to some internet indie animation like V from Murder Drones to old timers like the Green Hornet.
The prior one I had been to didn’t have as many people in costume, but it was a smaller convention. In comparison, there was a lot of Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss cosplayers there and almost none at the second. Also a lot more anime cosplayers at the first and not as many in the second. Demon Slayer was still the most popular at both. . . Also, a lot of Furries. So many Furries. Especially 14-years-old or younger at this second one.
