Like most major cities throughout the world, Montreal has conventions that take place every year at the Palais des Congrès. My favorite conventions there are Otakuthon and Comic con, mainly because of how they are focused on the things that are on nerdy side of culture (mine being video games and Television) and because I can see and meet other people with the same interest's.
On August, 2013 Otakuthon was the convention that was taking place at the Palais. Fortunately our family planned on going to Chinatown while it was still occurring. Unfortunately my parents dislike these types of conventions so we didn't go, But that did not stop me from going to the entrance of the convention. As soon as i walked in, I saw all kinds of different cosplays, some from the games that I've played and some from the shows that I've watched. Even though my parents made me angry by laughing and say how stupid they all look, all the cosplays I saw brought me so much joy, even if I had no idea what the costume was from it still made me happy to see all kinds of different costumes, interests that all these people have, as well as the creativity that existed in such a small space.
It was the experience of seeing all this creativity that inspired me to start making my own costume for halloween.
