I like to Cosplay casually... - Devil's Advocate - 30th May 2023
So I made an Instagram account just to upload some of my nerdy cosplay ideas. It's nothing complicated, I like to keep it mostly casual wear based on some of my favorite pop culture media or whatever. I'm basically cosplaying without actually having to "dress up".
However I have no idea how to embed pics from Instagram on here... When I click the embed button on Instagram I get this long script to copy but I have no idea what to do with it or where to paste it? Do I use the "insert code" or "image" button?

Cosplay is such a strange turn of phrase. People use to say costume or "gone costuming". Either way though, that's interesting! What I'd recommend is just getting the direct address of the image. You should be able to right click on the image and select "copy image address" and then when you post here, click on the "image" button in the post toolbar and insert the address in the URL field.

Looks like they joined in 2021, and that name is familiar. Still, much fresher blood than the rest of us 80's kids, and is therefor welcome! We need your youth.

I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm actually a very old noob. I wanted to embed from Instagram directly but since I can't figure that out I'll just use Imgur.
Well here goes nothing...

It me. And kudos for anyone who can guess the cosplay references.
Edit: Images appeared stretched. I'll mess with the ratio and retry.

I must apologize, but I can't even tell that that's a costume. With covid still a thing the mask is expected and the rest, to my uninformed eye, looks like street clothes. Hmm.... street clothes... Pokemans? You got the poke and the man and the puddin' pop... Damn it Bill Cosby! You used to be America's dad but now you're dead to us! You're America's ghost dad!
Anyway, Instant Graham are delicious so sorry you couldn't bring them here. We coulda had smores!

"Street clothes" is an apt description for what I want it to be and that's part of the fun for me. It's like only a few people would ever know or get the reference. The first one is almost a direct translation of Elliot Page's character (Hayley Stark) from Hard Candy, I just switched the skirt for similar shorts and I don't like wearing sandals.

Is that the movie where Elliot page drugs and neuters a sex offender?

Basically.
I'm a sucker for "revenge-o-matics".

I've noticed that the names of a lot of posters here are in the same "blue" color as the background, so I can't see them without "highlighting" the text.

Here's my interpretation of the outcast trope aka "Daria".

My attempt at a Rick Roll outfit. I didn't wear my glasses because I wasn't planning on going outside. I chickened out and went back inside to change after taking the pics. I wasn't really feeling it and also didn't want to be mistaken for a preppy schoolboy. Maybe I'll wear this for Halloween for a laugh.

His last name's not "roll" silly!
But, fun costume. You look like a business casual burglar, and I mean that with all the loves.

Nice work. My guesses were ska guy and goth guy. Elliot Page in Hard Candy is pretty obscure, so kudos for your originality.

I love me some Daria and meng, you don't look like her here. You need a wig, green jacket, and black skirt at the least.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but for this to be recognizable, you'd need the same hair (and probably to dye it his color, unfortunately), plus the stripes on the shirt aren't quite right. To be clear, it's an original and cool idea, but given that it's so subtle, you probably have to be more precise to make it click for people.
Still, cool to see this attempted.
