I’m sitting on the floor in a convention center. Lily and her friend are wandering around nearby in their Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun cosplay.
The cosplays here are amazing. I don’t recognize most of… | anniemueller.com/posts/eve…

High five for Hanako-kun! ✋🏻My daughter has homemade cosplayed him a lot over the years. (I find the art from the series just amazing.) Her high school just wrapped up the anime convention they hold on campus every year and I’m always amazed at how chill and positive all of the kids are. Cosplay is always the highlight of the day and very few of them care about the awards, they love parading together.
Experiencing it reminds me of how stories like Lord of The Flies don’t hold up to reality when kids are actually placed into similar situations. They mostly want to get along and are far more supportive than adults give them credit.
