Hosted by: Scotty B In this vulnerable and insightful episode, Scotty B addresses the unspoken truth many cosplayers feel but rarely say out loud: the bar is too high. With social media full of flawless photos, expensive builds, and seemingly effortless success, it’s easy to feel like nothing you do is ever enough. Scotty unpacks how this overwhelming pressure—whether self-imposed or community-driven—can discourage new cosplayers, drain long-time creators, and feed a perfectionist mindset that steals the joy out of the craft. He reflects on his own journey and how the expectation to “keep up” has stifled creativity and connection. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to match the highlight reels or break the bank to belong. Cosplay should inspire—not intimidate. And sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is show up exactly as you are . Find the Sanctuary on Social: With Co-Host @astravoidcosplay Join Her Twitch Community !
