Cosplay

Cosplay is a major part of ADF's life and currently his only hobby other than turning himself into a pretty lady. As everything else he does, however, ADF fails really bad at cosplaying.

Notable cosplays

Itachi

ADF's first cosplay, unless you count his spectacularly half-assed attempt at "Jenifer Lopez." As can be seen, until actual costume items turned up it was just him with a bad wig and some sharpie on his face, wearing whatever clothes he fancied, explaining it away as being an AU version of the character. Wig, sharpie and prison outfit? "Prison Itachi." Wig, sharpie and bondage gear? "Bondage Itachi." Wig, sharpie and normal civilian clothes? "Overweight 25-year-old Autistic Gay Itachi." You get the idea.

Sasuke

Owning a costume of his idol/role model/alter-ego Sasuke Uchiha had long been a dream of ADF's. In preparation for buying and wearing the costume, he embarked on his "Sasuke diet," which admittedly did bring his weight down a bit. Emphasis on "a bit." The cosplay arrived in bits and pieces throughout 2009, being finally completed in May, after which time our hero's "Sasuke" phase began in earnest, continuing until the Sakura costume arrived the following year. And lots of photos were taken.

Sakura

Arriving in January 2010, this quickly became one of ADF's favorite cosplays, allowing him to fulfill his oft-stated desire to cross-dress. Shortly after he ordered the costume, he announced he was transgender and began to refer to himself as 'Sakura,' raising some questions about the degree to which his cosplay choices influence his life choices. Initially, aware of the opprobrium his photos of him in costume would receive from the plebeians, he designated a special group of people who he could trust to give fawning praise to him, and gave them the exclusive privilege of commenting on his Sakura photos. Comments from anybody else were swiftly removed.

China

Hooo boy. This cosplay came out of left field somewhat, as ADF had never really mentioned watching Hetalia prior to it appearing. A short while after it turned up, he decided he was a Communist, and all that. The costume was duly repurposed, with the addition of a beret, to make ADF's 'Queer Revolutionary' costume. He claims this was what he was wearing for his supposed reconciliation with his father in late 2010.

Other cosplays

Jennifer Lopez

ADF's awkward early foray towards expressing his feminine side, seemingly dressed in his mother's clothes. Much like Chris Chan, who had also been photographed wearing his mom's clothing.

Naruto

This costume wasn't as popular as Sasuke or Sakura. It has made an appearance at gay pride events, scaring event-goers.

Death Note (Matt and L)

ADF apparently does not own any white shirts. The Matt cosplay is inexplicable, ADF never mentioned him beforehand

Reborn!

The old 'stop torture at Guantanamo' outfit makes a surprising reappearance

ANBU

Pretty self-explanatory, this
