'Overwatch' Cosplayers Are Already Jumping On Tracer and Emily
The comic "Reflections" came out from Blizzard recently and besides the usual holiday package of feels, it also caused quite a stir.
The comic "Reflections" came out from Blizzard recently and besides the usual holiday package of feels, it also caused quite a stir. The highlight of the holiday romp was the revelation of Tracer's live in partner, Emily. #Blizzard hinted at one of the heroes being a member of the #LGBTQ community for a bit and this big reveal had a lot of people rather excited with others being markedly devastated over the death of Widowtracer. We're not here to talk about that bit, though. What we are here for is to admire the fact that cosplayers wasted no time in celebrating Tracer and Emily.
That Was Quick
Cosplayers Raegan Kathryn and Ashlynne Dae wasted no time getting into the Tracer x Emily spirit. They recently posted a pretty adorable recreation of one of the panels from the comics. I mean, sure, the cosplay is pretty simple so there's not as much that would go into it, but you still gotta admire that turnaround time.
Voxophone Cosplay recently came out with her own take on Tracer and Emily as well which make me wonder if cosplayers are somehow clairvoyant. Do they see into the future and start putting together everything ahead of time? Do they just not believe in sleep? I'm not sure, but either way I'm thankful for their efforts.
A few days after, Fenix Fatalist Cosplay in collaboration with Lei Radna Cosplay came out with a beautiful recreation of the comic with the help of Alexander Bootsman Photography. The general consensus was "that was so fast." Which is par for the course with Tracer, really.

A Look At The Best Cosplay from Blizzcon 2016
I feel like every year Blizzcon proves that it brings out the gold standard of cosplaying. Yes, there are also fantastic panels and awesome announcements surrounding their many, strangely addicting intellectual properties. That part we all know and look forward to. But if you're a fan of cosplay then you know that Blizzcon is definitely the place to be to see some of the very best. This year did not disappoint and, man, were there some sights to see.

Before Sylvester the Cat, there was Sylvester the Dog
Sylvester was a Merrie Melodies canine Sylvester, the Cat, is a beloved Looney Tunes character who debuted in March 1947 in the animated short Life with Feathers. The iconic Mel Blanc once said that he enjoyed voicing Sylvester, one of his favorite characters. The cartoon short that was near and dear to Blanc's heart was Bird's Anonymous which starred the popular cat.

Game of Thrones
It has been 5 years since we were subjected to the shit show that was season 8 of Game of Thrones and still fans are bitter. What could have gone down as one of the greatest shows of all time instead concluded as one of the worst. It is impossible to watch season 8 and think that anyone’s ending was acceptable. The writers did a great job of assassinating every single character…even the ones I hated. So we are going to go ahead and list every single thing wrong with season 8.
