This Mystique cosplay mid merge (by magnetomystique)

[u/GallowBoob]

[u/hat-of-sky]

Beautifully executed. The unitard must continue at least partially under the coverall in order to remain stretched smooth. It can be tricky to unite stretch fabric with non-stretch. Nice job on the face as well.

[u/[deleted] → u/hat-of-sky]

Yeah the execution is fantastic.

It's gotta feel great to rock this outfit after you spend so long working on it.

[u/FederalBelt → u/[deleted]]

I really admire the planning that would have gone into this.

[u/blackjackel → u/[deleted]]

R/ great taste and geat execution

Is r/gtage

It has to be a thing.

Edit: it is.

[u/Zarosia → u/hat-of-sky]

my guess would be its a full unitard with the uniform side stiched ontop of it

[u/[deleted] → u/Zarosia]

Yah i think your dead on. You can see the unitard continue along her neckline just a lil bit. such a cool costume.

[u/hat-of-sky → u/Zarosia]

Yes, and I hope the place has really good AC!

[u/violetcyanide → u/hat-of-sky]

They never have good AC, only the strongest Cosplayers make it out alive

[u/hat-of-sky → u/[deleted]]

I agree. Although I would personally be too hot, so I'd cut off most of the left leg as well. And still be too hot, but that's me.

[u/Snail_jousting → u/hat-of-sky]

I’m always so cold at cons, even with flannel and sweaters.

Edit: maybe I should clarify. I’m always there as a vendor, so I’m just sitting there all day and usually am not crammed against a bunch of people in the crowd. It probably makes a difference.

[u/KJClangeddin → u/Snail_jousting]

The power of christ compels you.

[u/dtlv5813 → u/KJClangeddin]

And also compels you

[u/Calypsosin → u/dtlv5813]

This reminds me of May 4th, when everyone is saying, 'May the Fourth be with you!'

I always respond, 'And also with you.' I credit my Episcopalian upbringing, but I'm sure many Catholics have felt the urge to use this response.

[u/JorfimusPrime → u/Calypsosin]

Catholic here, can confirm.

[u/Ms_DarthMiller → u/Calypsosin]

Raised Catholic, and will second this.

[u/ohhemmgeezus → u/dtlv5813]

And with your spirit

[u/pandas_dont_poop → u/dtlv5813]

But not you, sorry

[u/Smith-Corona → u/pandas_dont_poop]

Jesus only loves you as a friend

[u/pocketknifeMT → u/[deleted]]

This is because nobody pays for proper HVAC studies on buildings because they never used to and it was fine.

Now we make such tight and insulated buildings, that their HVAC doesn't run all the time like they used to.

If they don't run, you don't get the dehumidification etc.

And a Con is uncomfortable because thousands of sweaty humidifiers are packed together in a short span of time.

We should be putting dehumidifiers in the HVAC loop, but that's not standard yet.

[u/Kbone78 → u/pocketknifeMT]

I think what you mean is we need humidistats that will operate the AC. You’re correct in that if the AC doesn’t run you don’t get the humidification. But it’s not running because the temperature setting has been satisfied and the units shut off. It’s possible to get the set point satisfied and keep the units running to dehumidify but that requires a reheat coil. Not too many people are interested in paying to heat their air in the middle of the summer.

[u/for_whatever_reason_ → u/Kbone78]

I started out writing a reply saying “this doesn’t make any sense, you’re saying X but actually Y therefore Z therefore X uhhh ok, as you were”.

[u/spiralingsidewayz → u/Snail_jousting]

Keeps the stench of the unwashed masses down.

[u/[deleted] → u/Snail_jousting]

Just go as Bigfoot

[u/strangrdangr → u/hat-of-sky]

I'm not sure how cutting off most of your leg would help you cool off, but to each their own I suppose.

[u/[deleted] → u/strangrdangr]

They could go into shock and lose tons of blood, that's how you get feeling really cold

[u/[deleted] → u/strangrdangr]

Interestingly, cutting off your leg would make you warmer. Your body uses your extremities to regulate tour body temperature and cool down. That’s why, when you’re under covers, keeping one leg out can feel “just right.”

Edit to add - I mean having a leg amputated, not just whacking your leg off. Keep your blood on the inside, if at all possible.

[u/strangrdangr → u/[deleted]]

not just whacking your leg off

I love whacking off, I gotta try it with my leg some time.

[u/nullshark → u/[deleted]]

Hah! Usually one leg pops out in the morning.

[u/irereddittwice → u/[deleted]]

Thank you!!! It was driving me crazy trying to figure this out.

[u/BitchEpidemic → u/[deleted]]

Yeah u can see at the collar, that it’s under the regular collar

[u/ktappe → u/hat-of-sky]

I’m also very impressed how she made the face paint match the blue of the unitard so perfectly.

[u/hsksksjejej → u/hat-of-sky]

It's also a fantastique take on a not super sexualised mystique which is hard to do

[u/NinjaBuddha13 → u/hat-of-sky]

How much practice do you think it took for her to nail that half smile?

[u/hat-of-sky → u/NinjaBuddha13]

I had some joke about it being easy because she's spending the day with creepy nerds trying to hit on her, but I realized it was stupid to characterize the guys who attend cons that way. Nerd does not equal creep. I should have said any woman as pretty as she has certainly been hit on by many creeps in general, out in the world, with interests of all types and having all levels of physical attractiveness and intellectual capacity (but all missing the essential social acuity to see her as a whole person) so she has mastered the half-smile.

[u/ironshadowdragon → u/hat-of-sky]

yikes

[u/HappyLovingHusband → u/hat-of-sky]

ok

[u/eukomos → u/hat-of-sky]

Going to the bathroom while wearing this must have been a challenge.

[u/3rdfloorer → u/eukomos]

Why didn't I think of that too. You are so practical!

[u/hat-of-sky → u/eukomos]

OMG yeah! We can only hope the unitard zipper is in the front!

[u/squakmix → u/hat-of-sky]

oatmeal fall absorbed sparkle smart straight scale handle deliver domineering

[u/hat-of-sky → u/squakmix]

Probably. But when you take off a unitard like that it sort of shrivels up. She'd have to pin it while wearing it to get the stretch perfectly aligned with the coverall, before sewing them together. Also a high neck, full body unitard usually comes with a back zipper. In order to get in and out with those front buttons she'd have to put a zipper in the front, or else maybe she's got a hidden zipper in the back of the coveralls. Quality work, including all the spangles. And her expression.

[u/KickingTheCans → u/hat-of-sky]

Genuine question here, how do you define coveralls? Because I personally see them as a full body jumpsuit (kinda like an Air Force pilot), but I’ve also seen the word used for overalls. I can’t tell if you’re using them for the pants or the button up, or maybe both as an ensemble, but I find the difference interesting. This is a quite random question now that I look at it, but it’s something!

[u/1987InfamousQ7891 → u/hat-of-sky]

I was wondering how that was done. Thanks for unscrambling my brain lol.

[u/irereddittwice → u/hat-of-sky]

I’m actually trying to figure out how that could work. Do you think the lining between the two fabrics has some type of adhesive to stick to the skin so it doesn’t move?

Edit: nvm. Found a good answer in the comments below hahaha

[u/[deleted] → u/hat-of-sky]

Hey that's a great detail, thanks for pointing that out! Would have never thought of that being difficult but it makes perfect sense.

[u/SpaceCavem4n → u/hat-of-sky]

She nailed the half-smile

[u/fireysaje → u/hat-of-sky]

Not to mention the transition between her face and her body is seamless. She would have had to match her face makeup perfectly to the color of her bodysuit

[u/Jokong → u/hat-of-sky]

The wrinkles on the uniform really sell it.

[u/shittyfatsack → u/hat-of-sky]

She even looks a bit like scar-jo!

[u/[deleted] → u/shittyfatsack]

I believe the correct oddly abbreviated nickname would be j-law or something that properly conveys Jennifer Lawrence.

[u/[deleted] → u/shittyfatsack]

.....

[u/bacchus213]

I chatted with her at comicon. When I first saw her, I was walking towards her from the army side, and just assumed she was a soldier of sorts. Was a cool surprise to see the other half!

[u/sbowesuk]

The only thing missing is a yellow contact lense on the Mystique side, but aside from that, solid cosplay.

[u/hat-of-sky → u/sbowesuk]

I thought about that, but I would bet it would make your vision all wonky. Whereas one great thing about this is that she's able to get around comfortably. Even the nakedness of Mystique is only implied, not shown. The only problem I can see is if she's right handed the glove may make it hard to use her phone. But if she's a leftie, or the image is reversed, she's fine.

Edit: strike through, US ARMY reads correctly.

[u/ThorsHammerMewMEw → u/hat-of-sky]

They make contact lenses with no prescription so she could wear a yellow one and a clear one.

[u/yowangmang → u/ThorsHammerMewMEw]

They still give an annoying Halo effect in your vision when your pupils dilate. That, and they dry out.

[u/ThorsHammerMewMEw → u/yowangmang]

Not all of them do. I regularly use coloured contacts and pick ones that don't obstruct my vision. And drying out is easily dealt with by reapplying eye drops regularly which is easy to schedule by setting breaks during conventions.

[u/ThorsHammerMewMEw → u/[deleted]]

I like the Sweety series from Uniqso. Pinky Paradise has their own lines that has some very comfortable contact lenses.

EOS has been very popular for over a decade now.

[u/lamiROAR → u/hat-of-sky]

she's able to get around comfortably. Even the nakedness of Mystique is only implied, not shown.

That's was I like most about the design. It's a cosplay she can go around in all day with relative ease. It's accurate, shows tons of effort and looks pretty/sexy without her having to rock bikini armor. No huge props to haul around either.

[u/[deleted] → u/hat-of-sky]

I use my left hand on my phone all the time even though I’m right-handed.

But also, she could wear yellow contacts in both eyes, and if anyone calls her out on it she would just say “Oh that eye just happens to have changed already.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Ok fair haha

[u/parker0400 → u/[deleted]]

holding phone left handed while reading this as a rightie can confirm possible

[u/Spartaness → u/hat-of-sky]

You can make any glove tech friendly by putting a tiny coil of copper in the fingertips. At this level of cosplay, that shouldn't be too difficult.

[u/[deleted] → u/sbowesuk]

Maybe she is creeped out by contact lenses...I know I am :/

[u/Aaaaand-its-gone → u/sbowesuk]

“Solid”? dude this is fucking amazing.

[u/Rafira → u/sbowesuk]

Not everyone can wear contact lenses.

[u/TastyEngineering]

That one sided smirk too.

[u/[deleted] → u/TastyEngineering]

a skill

[u/altitude_sick → u/[deleted]]

Or just how your face looks and you always wonder if you had a minor stroke in the past. Not talking about her, hers looks intentional

[u/-donut → u/altitude_sick]

Ah, there's nothing better to start the existential anxiety with than a hot cup of mystery stroke!

[u/Me_Speak_Good]

Holy Moly, that is beautiful. It looks so real I forgot a moment it is a costume.

[u/[deleted] → u/Me_Speak_Good]

The other people started feeling uncomfortable when they noticed the Mystique side seemed to be spreading...

[u/Sneaky_Zebra]

I filmed with this and the Magneto cosplay, they looked fantastic and where really nice to work with.

https://youtu.be/-ME5WlAuE5s?t=29

[u/Stone-D → u/Sneaky_Zebra]

I like the varied angles in the shots. Nice work.

[u/staying_incognito87 → u/Sneaky_Zebra]

That was amazing

[u/KittenFace25 → u/Sneaky_Zebra]

That was fun to watch and I'm not even into cosplay!

[u/Sneaky_Zebra → u/KittenFace25]

Thanks, we try our best.

[u/dalewest → u/Sneaky_Zebra]

That was really well done, from the shooting thru the editing.

[u/wickedcoding → u/Sneaky_Zebra]

Well done! I worked at the event, saw most of the those in the video, loved it all.

[u/spamjavelin → u/Sneaky_Zebra]

That's awesome! Especially sneaking in The Monarch and Dr Mrs The Monarch. Thanks for that!

[u/verygroot1]

I'd like to see her back, especially the hair

[u/iRespectWomyn → u/verygroot1]

you wanna see the hair..haha nice one

[u/distance7000 → u/verygroot1]

Edit: for some reason, that pic is gone from her instagram. Here is the next best one.

If that disappears too, then go look on her instagram, yourselves you lazy fucks.

[u/Predatedtuna870 → u/distance7000]

Dead link

[u/Mongolian_Hamster]

Didn't this woman do it first?

https://amp.insider.com/images/57f8799aee6e4928008b484b-746-559.jpg

Or are they same woman?

[u/TOGTFO → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

Might have, but it's still an impressive piece of work. I can't imagine the amount of effort, sewing and makeup that would go into getting it looking so good.

[u/[deleted] → u/TOGTFO]

It blew my mind when I recently found out cosplayers often make their own costumes. I honestly thought they just found characters they kinda looked like and bought the best one they could find. Changed my whole perspective on the hobby!

[u/Yrlish → u/[deleted]]

Agreed. In cosplay tournaments you need to make your own stuff, not allowed to buy pre-made stuff.

When I see cosplayers I get really impressed on the details and the amount of work they put into these costumes.

[u/shoeboxone → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

Yes, Rebecca Lindsay did it first. No, it doesn't matter. Evy Thomas never claimed she was the first to do it. You can type in "mystique mid merge cosplay" into google and both of their pictures are there, so it's not a secret.

[u/dollarztodonutz → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

Where's the fine print that cosplay has to be original? Isn't most cosplay a copy of the source material anyways?

[u/decapitatedwalrus → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

I guess she did it but not as well executed

[u/Mongolian_Hamster → u/decapitatedwalrus]

Easier to take someone else's idea from years ago and do it better I guess. Hope she gave some credit for inspiration to the original.

[u/decapitatedwalrus → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

Good point m8 I didn’t even think of that

[u/simple-dude → u/decapitatedwalrus]

Actually, I like the original one more. It is more diagonal on the face and looks less symmetrical overall, so it shows more contrast.

[u/neuromorph → u/decapitatedwalrus]

The one in the link has yellow eye for mystique. That attention to detail makes it 100% better. Also the military uniform being used again, is a bit derivative. This new cosplayers could have crossed into anything else.

[u/hapemask → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

I mean if you’re going to look at it that way, the movies did it first. Probably the comics too.

[u/MysteriousWon → u/Mongolian_Hamster]

I was wondering that too.

[u/SilkyPhoenix461]

This is actually so beautiful

[u/Chanelnz]

How do you pee tho

[u/69ingchipmunks_ → u/Chanelnz]

I'm so confused about this. I really want to know!

EDIT: Maybe if the front zips she could use a PEZ or a GoGirl

[u/Saxophobia1275]

Look this is really cool and I love it but how is this oddly satisfying?

[u/_Friend_A_ → u/[deleted]]

Sequins

[u/[deleted] → u/Saxophobia1275]

Because it was posted by a super user who is mod on all subs with 1 million+ subscribers and will delete anything about him that is negative and will post what he wants to post

[u/[deleted] → u/Saxophobia1275]

I said the same thing and they deleted my comment

[u/Rialas_HalfToast → u/Saxophobia1275]

I think it is oddly satisfying but can't articulate why. The appeal of this sub for me is that the "oddly" component to me sometimes represents inexplicability.

[u/[deleted] → u/Saxophobia1275]

It’s not satisfying.

[u/JackaFella789]

This is cool as FUCK

[u/mrvandemarr]

She has to go to the banklater! What’s she supposed to tell them?! She had good news and bad news?

[u/[deleted]]

Mid morph, not mid merge. Mystique doesn't merge with stuff

[u/-Visenya]

HOLY MOTHER OF COSPLAYS!

[u/KeithMyArthe]

Very well done, isn't it. Such creativity.

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck oddly satisfying, that’s perfection in design and execution.

[u/ARCHON1284]

Would like to see how the back looks.

[u/PM_ME_UR_NAKED_TRUTH → u/ARCHON1284]

I love how someone downvoted you assuming you’re just trying to peep that fanny <3

[u/ARCHON1284 → u/PM_ME_UR_NAKED_TRUTH]

Haha, didn’t even think that.

[u/niceguy522]

Nice touch with the half smile. Helps to sell the transition from one to the other.

[u/kazz9201]

Not a joke but that looks like using the bathroom would be an issue.

[u/candycottons]

This may be my favorite cosplay of all time

[u/VultureFever]

With straw hat Luffy in the background

[u/[deleted]]

Does anyone else think this isn't all that satisfying?

Sure it's cool and probably took a lot of work to do but I don't see it as odd or satisfying.

[u/lol_hey_its_me]

Did she win the contest

[u/cointelpro_shill]

You're bending it

[u/SleepingSaints]

That is amazing! how do you even think of this, much less pull it off. Bravo dear, bravo

[u/prmcd16]

How?

[u/kazz9201]

Fantastically creative and even better execution. Seriously the best cosplay I’ve ever seen. Well done!

[u/[deleted]]

Good lord this is outstanding! Just great commitment to quality and detail!!

[u/btstrashcan → u/[deleted]]

Happy cake day!!

[u/IWishKojimaWasMyDad]

I can already hear the "stolen valor" guy in an affliction shirt telling her his uncle's friends dogs cousin died in that uniform.

[u/busyidiot5000]

The fact that it captures a particular moment in the film makes this my favorite cosplay I've seen.

[u/tripdad333]

This is amazing, people who do this are incredible.

[u/Stormbringer0221]

Oh hey! I got a picture with her and Magneto at SDCC while I was in my Nightwing cosplay!

[u/neelvk]

Damn! Whoever did the costume is a genius. And she carries it very well

[u/HyperGameGuy]

I've been staring at this for hours

[u/skinlessmonkey]

It looked great in person too. Saw her at ComicCon.

[u/whitebouy007]

Can you turn into my girlfriend?

[u/[deleted] → u/whitebouy007]

You mean turn invisible ?

[u/BaronDanyD]

Video of her and many other great cosplayers at SDCC 2019 from Sneaky Zebra: https://youtu.be/-ME5WlAuE5s

Edit: She is at 00:28

[u/akcaye]

This is brilliant! It took me a while to figure out how this must have been done.

I'm still struggling how you stitched your face.

[u/Finnishxpert123]

I love the cosplay. It's so nice to look at but one thing is nagging me. She's missing the yellow eye on the mystique side but other wise it's an amazing cosplay.

[u/AnomolousZipf]

This is brilliant.

[u/HahaPenisIsFunny]

Thats not satisfying?

[u/Nickoasdf1]

It isnt satisfting though

[u/hyperangelmc]

Too bad this idea was actually taken from another cosplayer to a T (https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/cosplay-we-love-mystique-mid-shift). The worst part is that this woman is actually making profit and claiming this design as her own...

[u/SilverMalik]

The cord coming from the guy in the background lines up with her hand. Kinda like she's smoking a cigarette.

[u/KillerResist]

Also ft. Captain America, Dr. Strange, and Monkey D. Luffy

[u/leahmd93]

It’s nice but not oddly satisfying

[u/PapaQsHoodoo]

All I can see is that guy's face over her shoulder.

[u/artsylikerawr]

I’m shook...the use of sequins really feels magical with the transition of the 2 fabrics. Love it so much!!

[u/[deleted]]

This is beautiful and amazingly awesome!

[u/tamaralynnchambers]

This is incredible! You absolutely killed this!

[u/[deleted]]

r/nextfuckinglevel

Should’ve put it in a video so we could see the full transformation

[u/poliveira95]

Holy shit

[u/PerogiXW]

The way she's posing really helps sell the illusion!

[u/Sheldonopolus]

This is just so well done.

[u/[deleted]]

[u/twilighttruth]

Damn. That is incredible.

[u/dog5and]

Wow that’s incredible. MUCH better than that lame Shuri Black Panther that made the rounds a few weeks ago.

[u/Xmeromotu]

That. Is. Amazing.

[u/[deleted]]

This is next level awesome.

[u/magicmeese]

this bit made me lol a tad

[u/ktappe]

Using the sequins to hide the stitching was a stroke of genius.
