Maisie Lynnie
Maisie Lynnie is a phenomenal variety content creator! Like many cryptids, Maisie lives somewhere in the vast wilds of the Midwest with her two chaotic-adorable cats. Well known for coining the term “wiscussy,” she is also responsible for the perky-yet-terrifying Midwestern BBEG (Big Bad Evil Gal.) You’ve never known fear until you’ve seen an ethereal being smile sweetly before stating “I am the horrors that are left unwritten” pronounced as “Ey ham the harrarrs thet air leeft unwreeten.”
Of her many talents, one is her outstanding DnD content. She handles the nitty gritty of creating original characters, including gripping backstories and elaborate cosplays, with intelligence and wit. Her consummate acting breathes life into nuanced, brilliant, humorous situations. She also has experience creating engaging, funny, heart wrenching stories as a game master. Those who’ve been following her for a while know her capacity for incredible storytelling is complimented by her homebrew creations ranging from the ridiculous to the immensely useful!
Her TikTok and Instagram are flush with inspiring creative content, Midwestern Villain energy, the machinations of the chaotic good, stunning makeup looks, infinite sass, brilliant hot takes on horror genre content, and even a trend gremlin! One look at her aesthetic, and many can sense her love of mothman, cryptids in general, and all things gothagecore. As an educated artist, Maisie has personally seen that our world receives both gorgeous imagery meant to inspire, and cursed looking creations none else would dare put to page. (... or tablet.)
Many will know her gaming tallent, hysterical comedic timing, verbal evisceration of any who dare diss those in her community, and her charity work, from her successful Twitch page. For those who’d like to catch up on what’s been happening, or who love engaging long form and short form content, Youtube is the place to look. For those with a passion for musical talent, Maisie has written her own songs and has been showing them to her Patreon as exclusive content!

RoseBlue Cosplay
Hello! My name is Sadie, and on socials I go by Rose Blue Cosplay. I’ve cosplayed since I was a kid, and I’ve always been a nerd at heart. At the end of 2021 I finally started taking cosplay seriously, and at the beginning of 2022 I began sewing my own cosplays. Currently, I am an Master level competitive cosplay maker.
​
RoseBlue is a long-time Dokidokon attendee and is so excited to be a part of this year’s event!
Major Shigo Cosplay
MajorShigo is a cosplayer, seamstress, and competitor! She found her love of cosplaying through social media and has been cosplaying since 2017.
Major’s first cosplay was the first cosplay she’d ever sewn (by hand) and from then on her love for sewing and cosplaying has grown since. Major has been sewing since she was 8-years-old making doll clothes with a $20 sewing machine and liquid glue; It later elevated to making her own clothes from upcycling old clothes!
​
Major loves the amount of creative freedom she could use to make cosplays. She loves adding extra trims, laces, and using variants of fabric to make her cosplays have a more “live-action” style. She’s always loved how costumes from anime series turned into live-action outfits look so much more lifelike than being a 2D/3D image. To her, the different fabrics they used, the extra detailing with beads, colors and such always made it look more high quality and are the source of her inspiration.
​
MajorShigo’s favorite characters to cosplay are girls that have a princess-like appearance to them while being decked out in armor. Characters like Noelle (Genshin Impact), Saber (Fate Grand/Order), and Knight Miku (Vocaloid) are her favorite, especially when they have cool huge weapons! She loves how they can look super cute with a skirt, but still carry and fight like a champ!
​
MajorShigo’s “15th Anniversary Strawberry Miku” cosplay won Best in Show at Anime Magic!’s 2022 Cosplay Contest.
