Is there a term for when you cosplay your own original characters?
Also is it cringy? Or just part of the art?
I also wonder if there's an etiquette around that. I would feel so attention-seek-y if I didn't somehow indicate I was costumed as an OC.
And I don't really want to be continuously asked who I'm supposed to be, either.
Which might not happen, I don't know.
