If A Cosplayer Says Her Name, She Will Be Given Her Eyes Back
Ginny Di, already the world’s best Arya Stark cosplayer, has updated her look to match the character’s blind and badass season 6 appearance. Hopefully this is where the recreation ended. It’d be a bit much if the photographer followed her around belting her with a wooden stick every five minutes.

And Now For Some NSFW Witcher 3 Sex Cosplay
This. This is one of the reasons why I love this video game. You get a couple of cosplayers pulling this shit on any other game and people will say “um OK that’s weirdly pervy.” The Witcher 3? “This is authentic.” Russian photographer Victoria Milligan took these shots, first of Yennefer (and it’s a very…
