[ASMR] Mercy Overwatch Cosplay Breakdown + Mini-Roleplay! (Soft Spoken)

LOTS OF INFO IN DESCRIPTION :)
Just got back from KATSUCON 2018!! Thank you all so much who approached me, either for a picture with my Mercy cosplay, or as a Gibi-channel-watcher :D You were all incredibly kind and I was so happy to meet such polite, friendly people! I ended up competing in the Masquerade and won Best Masters Performance, so that video will be going up on my second channel shortly! (Did you know I have a second channel? Subscribe to it here!!:    / gibigaming   )

Here is a long, ASMR-style rundown of how I made my Mercy cosplay, with a mini-roleplay in the beginning to give you a lil taste of a future collaboration I have with Animated ASMR (the talented guy who did the Team Rocket collab with me. Check that out if you haven’t:    • Gaming Store 3: Team Rocket Simulator...   ). The rest of the video is me explaining the many different elements of the Mercy costume, with some footage from the actual convention so you can see what I look like head-to-toe wearing it!

I hope you enjoy, and if this inspires someone to cosplay, let me know. That’s the goal!

More Mercy Patterns (By TeacupLion): https://www.etsy.com/listing/52330324...
(Her patterns were SO helpful. Even though I ended up adjusting a lot of it, having the base work done will save you a frick ton of guess work and crying.)

A lot of people have asked me how much time/money went into making this costume. I purposefully did not track either to save myself from any regrets LOL. I started actively researching and thinking about starting this during the summer, with the bulk of work starting in October, finishing this month! A lot of professional cosplayers are able to finish their builds in a month or less, but this was the first time I’ve ever attempted something this complicated! Cosplay is definitely a (very intense) hobby for me, and I’m not a professional, but I hope this video can help or educate, or entertain! :)

Female Bakugou is next…. Buckle up!

I find that I get a lot of comments and messages about using ASMR for anxiety, depression, and more. I can totally relate with that, and ASMR is an awesome outlet for those things. However, if you’re interested, above is a link to a website with real, professional & licensed counselors. You can type to them, or call them! It’s actually a really cool service and I use it personally. It costs as low as $35 a week, and you don’t have to leave your house to use it. :)
