@runicrascal

Well you just seemed kind of off, when we left

@runicrascal

I figured you weren’t very interested in talking much

@mythicwitch

I figured YOU weren’t very interest in talking much

@mythicwitch

To tell you the truth I thought *you* were a bit off with me after Comic Con. I don’t know. Maybe that was allin my head lol. I’m sorry if I did something to upset you though, and made you feel like I didn’t want to talk

@runicrascal

How come you didn’t end up wearing the costume?

@mythicwitch

Is that what this is about?

@runicrascal

It’s just a question

@runicrascal

You seemed really excited about it. I could tell you were lying when you said it ‘didn’t work out’

@mythicwitch

The honest truth? No judgement?

@runicrascal

Rascal’s honour

@mythicwitch

I don’t know that I can be the kind of person who makes being a fan of something their whole personality. Or at least, shows so much of it, so openly. It just felt really weird, and I feel icky saying that, and I’m not trying to dunk on the people who do cosplay

@mythicwitch

But it’s still … niche? Weird? Generally very very very far outside of my comfort zone

@mythicwitch

I know that sounds really silly because, if anything, I should be cool with cosplaying so that I fit in better. I basically do that anyway with my friends, matching my style to theirs and trying to just do what everyone else is doing so that I ‘belong’ or whatever, but …

@mythicwitch

Sorry, I think I accidentally turned this into a therapy session. The short answer is, I was too much of a coward to be seen in public like that

@runicrascal

Putting on my best, most amateur therapist hat, sounds like you spend a hell of a lot of time worrying about what other people think
