~ Me as young Maleficent ~
''May your wings be strong, may they carry you above the clouds and into the headwinds. May they never falter, not even once!''
I am SO in awe of this absolutely magical photo taken of me at my special little Bavarian shooting weekend I had this weekend that I immediately made it my desktop wallpaper (ehehehe 
). If Maleficent was a bit younger, that's how I would imagine her to look like, in the days of her innocence.
I deeply love cosplaying this character who is really so fleshed out and full, just so many facets and paradoxes to her: strong/vulnerable, ruthless/compassionate, soft/hard, cruel in her just rage, kind, vengeful and loving. Whenever I watch the movie, I see so much of her in me. This photo is seriously the next best thing to being her! 
The wings are photoshopped but every other detail of the costume was handmade by me (except the horns, I altered those from some I bought online). It was quite a challenge posing with the horns during the shoot as they kept sliding off my head because the thingie they were attached to snapped during my ride to the shoot Repairtime! Soon, more GOT stuff will come
