Oh God, I want to have you guys SO much!!! There's nothing terrible about this photo!
May I ask, are you guys a couple in real life or just naturally cute together?

Awwwww.

We are a couple in real life.  Here is a picture of us not in costume: imgur.com/3lCDUcC

Gosh, you're one of the most handsome couples I've ever seen - in and out of costume.
Thank you so much for going as those two, I know it was a lot of work to turn him into Goliath. But it was SO worth it, you looked so badass!

Oh, I have some trivia for you.  So Jesse and I met at a cast party for a project we work on called Dresden Files Fan Filming.  I'm not sure if you are familiar with the Dresden Files, but Elisa Maza was the inspiration for two of the characters in the book series.  Her personality went to Karrin Murphy, and her appearance went to Susan Rodriguez, which is the character I was cast as.  I just thought it was interesting that I ended up cosplaying the inspiration for my character.

Awww, you are so sweet and you are making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  This was probably my favorite cosplay I've ever done, even though it required barely anything from me to put together my own costume.  This was his first real cosplay.  I just loved how well received our cosplay was at the convention.  And even though I was asked to get out of the picture occasionally by people who must've not seen Gargoyles, it was nice having the people freak out when they realized that that was not only Goliath....Elisa was there too!

Some people are ignorant. I bet all they were thinking was "oh cool, that dude is a blue dragon thingy, let's take pictures! out of the way, normally dressed people!" Go watch good cartoons and educate yourselves!
First cosplay and immediately it's the most complicated one - and he went with it, that's love right there. And please don't play your part in this down. You look like you were born to cosplay Elisa.
I don't want to sound creepy but if I'd been there, I would have followed you guys everywhere, always silent and in the background but with an awkwardly happy smile on my face staring at you in awe and in love. Kind of like this .

He sent me this picture ( fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/201…) one day and said, "Let's do this."  Of course I had to agree!

I appreciate the compliments. <3

I wouldn't have minded you following us around.  I think if my friend, GillyPerkGoth who took this picture, wasn't running her booth she would've followed us around just taking pictures all day.
