I’m not particularly fussed, since I’m not currently an online freelancer or content creator, but it’s still interesting to think about! I also wanted to highlight a few posts/cosplays that I’m proud of that didn’t do so well, and hazard some guesses at reasons why. Though to be honest, at the end of the day: regardless of how I feel about the posts that did numerically well, I’m just thankful both for the support and that I had another good year messing about in cosplay! I keep reminding myself that social media and statistics aren’t the be-all and end-all of cosplay, but it still feels good to have a little audience to share my stuff to, to get feedback and to know that I’m not the only one amused by what I get up to. (I think I need to try and loosen up a little more on a few fronts in 2020!) I like sharing good quality shoots on my feed, but I also like having fun and messing around, so it’s made me smile to see something so ridiculous get so much love. To me, it seems like there’s a lot of emphasis put on being picture perfect and having flawless accounts even for hobbyists and people just here for a laugh, but that doesn’t reflect the reasons we cosplay or the experiences we actually have. Goofing off with friends is one of the best parts of cosplay for me – I’m really happy this sort of thing can get a reception on social media as well, even if you weren’t there at the time or “in on the joke” or anything like that. Only the most quality of content on instagram! I’m really glad it got in though because I did have a really good time at Hyper and loved wearing this cosplay. Objectively, I like the way I look and it’s nice to get approval from others, but subjectively I can’t help but get tied up in how I felt on the day, which leaves a bit of an odd taste in my mouth.Ĩ – I was not expecting this post to make top nine at all and burst out laughing the first time I spotted it. I know I didn’t make that many posts this year – in fact these nine posts are more than a tenth of them – but it was still a bit strange to see these get such good reception when I’m so lukewarm about this cosplay. character posts tend to do pretty well, and I didn’t make many this year, so I’m not too surprised this one got in! It probably helps that this particular outfit is so obscure since this post was one of the only times people got to see what I was working from.ħ, 9 – I was quite surprised to see both Miku photos in here. I think I mentioned it in the original caption too, but I love the colour contrast of Honoka/Umi and it makes the photo super vivid and eyecatching.ĥ – More ship! Femslash for everyone! I adore this photo too, and it’s from a shoot we’ve been wanting to do for years which is even better.Ħ – Cosplay vs. They’re some of my favourite group photos we have, so I’m happy everyone else liked them too!ģ – I love all the A2 photos I got from Jade and I’m happy they got a positive reception! I think this one stands well on its own as a photograph, since the cosplay isn’t really that eye catching, and that’s probably why this one did so well.Ĥ – How cute is this photo! We love a good shippy pic. Oops!ġ & 2 – I knew these were going to take a 1-2 finish. Let’s talk about ‘em! Quite a few took me by surprise, which is weird considering I tend to keep a vague eye on my like counts whenever I post. 5: Kyoko/Sayaka with salamander-nakodile.So, here it is: I apologise in advance for the quality (or lack thereof) of this screenshot I really like looking back at others’ top nines on instagram, especially compared to their personal favourites – it’s interesting to see what’s favoured by a following or the algorithm in contrast to our personal best! Where better to start than a bunch of stuff from last year?įor this post I wanted to talk about my instagram top nine – the best posts I made this year, sorted by number of likes. It’s barely into double digits yet! Thankfully things are looking up now, but it does mean I’m already scrambling a bit for things to post. Happy new year! I hope 2020 is treating you a little better than it is me – we’ve had a bit of a rough start to the year, and I’m feeling exhausted already.
