Orange Among Us OC
"Back in 2020 during quarantine, one of the most well-known games that blew up on social media was Among Us. Among Us was a game based on astronauts and aliens in space where you had to do tasks on a ship as a crew member, and there being one imposter that tries to kill others and make it harder to do the tasks. Well getting a chance to play this game with my followers and friends, I had always chosen the orange character. With each character, you can design the hat that they wear, or a little companion to join you, so I ended up adding a pumpkin on my characters head, mainly because it was during Halloween and those were some add-ons that you could customize your character. So I had an amazing time being able to make this Cosplay and put it together. I made the backpack and little hat for my character (that attached to a headband AND my helmet) as well as the belt and boots. I customized each and every one of those accessories and hand dyed the astronauts suit orange. The astronaut suit was bought from Spirit Halloween, and whenever I had gone to get the helmet as well, the helmets were sold out because of the high popularity of the game Among Us. So I had ordered my helmet online in order to get it in time for content. I love this Cosplay so much and being able to hand paint everything, make it so customizable to my liking, and still have it be very well thought out, planned and recognizable. I enjoyed nothing more than to bring my own character to life. Later on, I ended up re-doing this Cosplay, but putting my Bakugou Cosplay from My Hero Academia into the Cosplay instead of my OC as if he was a character from Among Us!
What is considered too far gone when you combine two fandoms into one cosplay, is it possible to be perfectly in the middle or too far fetched, LarpLikeRae would be a perfect example of combining the anime: My Hero Academia and the viral 2020 video game: Among Us.
Among Us Bakugou
"During the pandemic, nearly everyone I knew online were playing the game 'Among us' and inviting me to play within my own discord server. Every time I had played, I would choose the orange character since it was my favorite color and I wanted to make an OC Cosplay from it, little did I know that the same astronaut suit, helmet and props would also be used for an Alternate Universe with Katsuki Bakugou."
"Since the Orange astronaut outfit was already made for my own OC, putting a Bakugou wig on was quite easy and literally one of my fastest cosplays. Among Us has died down now that its been several years since the release and popularity of it, so I'm honestly unsure if I would bring the cosplay of Among Us Bakugou back unless requested!"
