Leesers as Rose Lalonde

Rose Lalonde

Homestuck

Squiddleknit Dress

Cosplayer: Leesers
A few months ago I kept finding intriguing and very talented fanart of certain characters on my dashboard. After investigating I discovered they were from a webcomic called "Homestuck" and by the beginning of May I was addicted.

Terezi is actually both my patron AND favorite troll, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do her justice in time for Otakon. That's when I decided it might be equally fun to dress as my favorite kid- Rose. We're knitting bros so I knew it'd be a lot of fun if I could get an outfit of hers done in time. I ended up going with the Squiddleknit dress in fear of her Grimdark outfit being too hot for the late July Baltimore sun (and I'm glad I did; the whole weekend was unbearably warm!)

I had an absolute blast and was so happy to meet tons of fellow Homestuck fans in the halls and at the Midnight Drawing Party. I already can't wait to start working on Terezi and possibly another outfit for Rose.
