tenlittlebullets: (weeping angel)

Speaking as someone who's done creepy face-obscuring cosplay at a large con: it's fine. Often it's part of the intended effect, and it's definitely a pretty normal reaction. When you're out there in an elaborate-ass cosplay with a mask or other costume piece over your face, there's a part of you that's 'on,' that realizes you're performing and you're a spectacle and there's a certain amount of distance between you and the people you're interacting with. Far more so, I've found, than with costumes (even elaborate ones) that leave your face visible so you can interact like a regular human. If I'm in normal conversational mode I'll usually have my mask off, 25% because it makes it physically easier to talk, 75% because the only goddamn thing creepier than a weeping angel in the hotel lobby is a weeping angel with a giggly girl's voice talking smack about the Marriott elevators from behind the immobile statue mask.

(Actually, the biggest danger of looking at/talking about someone in a weeping angel costume like they're an inanimate object is that they'll notice and be pleased about it. The ones who honestly thought you were a statue are the ones most likely to scream aloud when you sneak up on them.)
