My best friend purposefully-passionate and I cosplayed your dragons at DragonCon today! We love these bros.

AM I LOOKING INTO THE SUN BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS RADIANT ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

This is so so so cute looking! c: ♥ I love what you did to the shirts!! You translated the comic design so well into a costume, it’s so recognizable without being a copy! And the shoes are so fitting!! AND YOUR ADORABLE HORNS AAAH

Thank you very much! As a thank you take this picture of the bros cosplaying you for HumanCon! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_♥
