I'm always asked how I decide which characters to cosplay, so to answer the question before it is asked:
Unlike most people assume, I don't cosplay a character just because I like them, although that does of course help. No, I choose my cosplays down to the character's personality, and if it matches mine.
Take, for instance, Hidan and Tayuya - both foul-mouthed, arrogant, loud and annoying. Those are some of my traits. L - I love sweets, love games, and I have been told that I often think like him when trying to solve something. Captain Jack Sparrow - enough said. I AM Mr Sparrow XD Captain Jack Harkness is probably not QUITE as like me as the others (for instance, me saying 'hello' isn't classed as flirting) but I have been told that I make a good Captain.
I do try to make my own cosplays (I have done the Harkness and L cosplays myself) but for some of them (like Tayuya) I just don't have the skills necessary.
