Description For and

An iPad shot from yesterday at Fairytale Garden. The highlight of this was getting to get messages from Merida for a pair of her deviant fans. First was Julia (pisces219320 ), a Taiwanese cosplayer whose work I saw during winter break:

If You Had The Chance To Change Your Fate - Brave by Julia (pisces219320 )
From Comic World Taiwan 35 at National Taiwan University

I then showed her the comment section, including where I had told her when I had read her saying, "I know I'm an Asian, so what? I don't consider race so important. I love Merida and that's enough for me to cosplay her." I had told her, "Don't worry - I think if I saw the lady herself and showed her this, she'd be thrilled that she's got a protegeΓ© in Taiwan." What I then revealed to Merida was that I hadn't told Julia that I was indeed planning to share the shot. Merida was indeed thrilled to see it and said, "That's great that says she'll keep it up! Like I said before, there will always be naysayers, but just go out to change our own fate and whatnot! That's lovely - I think my mum'll be impressed too with that dress there!"

I also told her that another fan - Christopher (hot293wildcat ) wanted to tell her that she reminded him of a female version of himself, which is one of the reasons he looks up to her. To both Julia and Chris, Merida had this to say: "'Keep shooting for your own hand' - that's what I always say." We then had this shot as the icing on the cake, where she mimed drawing a bow and asked if I wanted to do the same - at which point, I said that I had already come armed and pulled out my sword. I also like the way it turned out because it's like we're saying, "Don't worry - we've fought for our dreams and succeeded and we know you can do the same!"

I really hope you like it - feel free to emote and comment! Be sure to check out Mika's page. Also, if you fave this, please leave a comment as well.

Wow, you're so nice and this is lovely. I can't be any happier now.Β Β 

And, um... I think Miss Merida misunderstand something. I didn't make that dress. I only made arrows, belt and Quiver...

Anyway, thank you. This is really beautiful.

Great picture of you two warriors! Too bad I wasn't there to show off my inner warrior self.
