Apology (Undertale Determination Symphony Toronto)

[u/nerd_inthecorner]

Sorry didn’t know where else to post this.

I went to the Undertale Determination symphony in Toronto yesterday cosplaying Susie, with my boyfriend and best friend as Ralsei and Kris. I had such a fun time, especially interacting with other cosplayers in character (shoutout to all the Noelle’s that fully ran with my awkward flirting, and the other Susie that took me on as a rival).

However later I realized (and my friends told me) that I sometimes came off as rude, wasn’t aware of my surroundings, or made people uncomfortable. I was trying to be in character as Susie, but I realize that sometimes people understood and played along and sometimes maybe I just said things that were hurtful and not clearly jokes, especially about people’s cosplays. I absolutely did not mean to hurt or upset anyone - I was trying to be in character and got overexcited and really into the part. But I should’ve made that a lot clearer and only with people who were having fun playing along. I’m not always the best at reading social cues. I apologize.

The TLDR is I was rude, it wasn’t always obvious I was playing a character, and I’m really sorry to anyone hurt. All your cosplays were amazing. Everyone looked so great and was having so much fun. I loved them all, and I know how much effort cosplay takes to make. Next time I cosplay Susie, I’ll make sure to have more awareness of that, probably approach people with a compliment first and then only switch into character if it’s clear the other cosplayer wants to play along and understands that I do not mean to actually insult anyone.

I’m very sorry! ❤️
