Energy too, might I add, since I do need my quiet time and sleep hehehe (non-negotiable! XD). I would also like to not stress about it much and still make it fun when I have enough time in the future to cosplay consistently. Next point is the... 4.4/🗯️

An encouraging reassurance + objective validation like this goes a long way, so now I understand and respect that THAT is not the case at all---in fact, it is the opposite, and I should cherish people's stunned/speechless responses equally too! 😌💝3.6/🗯️

While there is indeed appreciation, I do notice there is a lot who seem speechless in response? I know not everyone is expressive, but at the same time, it makes me overthink if I failed in cosplaying SO BAD, that they cannot even communicate? XDD 3.5/🗯️

I read that in-depth analysis a lot when I have free time, you know. Besides the observations about my cosplay style and approach finally being defined (conceptual! horror! :"), it deeply made certain things I have been wondering about *click*. 3.4/🗯️

Anyway, enough talking circles around the actual topic lol. So that feedback in response to my Shinobu selfie cosplay was, as already mentioned, a late upload. The conversation was long, because I curiously asked about certain words in this feedback. 3/🗯️

Younger brother took one look at my cosplay pictures so far, then the husband's latest concert pictures, and started joking around as usual. XDD I am unsure myself, because I personally think his eyes are much more beautiful, but oh, well. Maybe... 2.1/🗯️

Speechless in a good way again though. Hmm... maybe let's start with the younger brother laughing via chat messages that the husband and I "have the same stare or gaze now"? Especially "the intensity of our eyes" when we are "looking serious/sharp"? 2/🗯️

Good morning (midnight?). The feeling of pent-up excitement about sharing that awesome cosplay feedback, which I have been holding back for a while (prioritized the husband's ongoing stuff since there are so many XD). But now, I have nothing to say HAHAHA.

Even after reposting (cute yet heartfelt thoughts under concert picture compilations from the husband's fans; kindly read when you have time :") and proofreading school stuff a bit, still have no idea how to write about the cosplay feedback I received. XDD
