Thank you so much for this, normalizing the idea of a more visibly "manly" guy being able to do Fem costumes without it Automatically Having To Mean Something About Their Identity. It's far more normalized for AFAB people to do crossplays than AMAB, for some reason people see that as "just cosplaying the 'better' characters available in the series" vs "YEAH THATS ONLY DRAG QUEEN THINGS"
For sure. I wish more guys felt comfortable enough to do it! I think there's a small amount of Identity stuff in there as well, but mainly it's because I like the characters and like feeling pretty/cute.
@@SherlockHulmesDM ah shit sorry, I think my comment might've been assumey 😅I just meant thank you for portraying the act of it as just An Action, though I'm so glad it can help to work through things identity-wise too! (I know my own gender things wouldve taken muuuuch longer to realize without having the opportunity cosplay gives people to experiment)
This year on Halloween i went Out dressed Like a sexy goth Lady (am a 20 year old straight Guy) together with my Friends and i was amazed at how much fun it was, and ever since then i have been thinking about maybe doing it as a hobby, because it was super fun to Just act out that feminin side everyone has within themselfs. And honestly i felt really pretty in make up and a dress.
It's so awesome to see a guy cosplaying as a girl, I just don't see it often. And what a fantastic choice and such amazing makeup! I've been watching your DnD stuff for years and seeing you really go all out on cosplay and LARP is so fun!
Mark, as a somewhat straight but still unsure man, i have always wanted to dress in womens clothing for fun, but its one of those things you don't tell people out of embarrassment. You seriously inspire me dude! I love your boldness and confidence. I definitely need to do it, i have to.In my eyes you make it feel like its a normal and okay thing to do. Thanks for being you man.
It's intimidating for sure, I've only ever done it among friends and in safe environments like cons, friends parties, our studio etc. But I hope you can give it a go and you enjoy it!
@@SherlockHulmesDM Just going to be among the DnD party this year, but hoping I can build up enough confidence to try it out at a con some day! Vids like these really do make a difference for me, so thank you for uploading!
RIP Marks beard. Have to say, when I saw you dressed up on the stream, I didn't recognize you at first. You knocked this costume out of the park. Incredibly well done sir.
Idk, just people can rock any clothes no matter what gender or sex they are. And you being a girl doesn't make you look good in certain clothing items and looks than guys. Automatically thinking that girl in stereotypically fem clothing is better then guy in it cuz...stereotypes. I totally see that this was with nice and sweet intentions, but it can be rude and insulting to people. Have a nice day ^_^
@@marki1040 well, I was intending to be insulting to myself, because I think I look terrible in any type of clothing.... But I apologise for sounding stereotypical. I really have no care about who wears what, as long as they are comfortable, happy, and enjoy how it makes them feel. I once again apologise, just wanted to express how pretty he is.
Your confidence is something to aspire towards, I am a guy who loves the same stuff as you but I lack the confidence to try female cosplay for myself, let alone an audience, kudos for you sir
Oh my gosh - you are adorable! I think the ears came out spot on with the skin, and the gloves with everything together didn't come across odd. *applauds* Great job!! I'd love to see more of this.
Really great job, you looked super cute! Just a couple of tips, makeup primer is your friend. It makes the colour pop and stay longer, so you need less layers. Also if you're feeling brave, eyebrow blocking might be worth a try 😊
@@annafantasia primers, I like Too Faced or Milk Makeup (though I'm not sure if that is worldwide as I bought in USA on holiday last year). Although if you have a really good face paint set you don't need a foundation printer, just a good moisturiser will be fine. Eyelashes wise, I just got whatever brand my supermarket had as they are fairly new in the UK. It would probably have been Eylure as that's what they usually sell
Rather amazing how a man can look so feminine with the right makeup isn't it. You would think the totally different skeletal structure would prevent it but well done makeup changes the lines anyway!
going to cons alot, I've seen alot of Jester cosplays and this was one of the best I've seen. It is very confusing listening to a cute Jester then suddenly you switch to your regular voice. Stunning
I love that you're doing this because most importantly you love it! Cosplay and Dnd are two of my very favourite hobbies and I'm glad I can find content of both here on your channel 😊 keep doing you Mark!
This was brilliant! You look so gorgeous and it's great that you were able to use some of the Wish larp stuff as well! Btw tell Nina that her makeup is FIRE and she did a great job!
Omg, as soon as the wig was put on it was perfect. I absolutely love it, it looks amazing. I'd love to see more cosplays from you. I'm behind on High Rollers so it might be a few days until I can catch up to the Halloween episode but I'll be so excited to see everyone's reactions when I do get caught up!!!!
This was incredible, would love to see more videos like this. I think Nina's help was big but always glad to see her in vids! Keep up the great work mate!
You look GORGEOUS :-) I was looking for videos to learn about D&D so I could play on Roll20--another thing I know almost nothing about--but I have the attention span of a moldering cheeseburger. Your video on D&D explaining how to get started was SUPER engaging and I kept watching even though I couldn't follow all the math-stuff. Then I subscribed to your channel and to your High Rollers channel. This is the second video of yours I've watched and I'm hooked. Looking forward to more. You're awesome and pure, concentrated FUN. You make D&D seem not as daunting and stodgy as it normally does. If I can ever get my brain around all the weird math stuff, I might actually try it. And even if I don't dig it at first, your obvious joy in it would give me impetus to keep trying. You really oughta be on the D&D payroll. You'd move more merch than a supply truck! EXCELLENT cosplay and EXCELLENT makeup from Ginny.
Thank you for doing a less than perfect costume, I think sometimes it's intimidating how much work the more professional cosplayers put into their outfits... A nice reminder that you can just have fun with it! And you're a very pretty femme! 😂
You are suggested to me by RUclips algorithm, I started watching the video for 30 seconds, then I jumped to the end ... wow dude you pulled off Jester like a champ!
I just need to say this, I LOVE THAT YOU DO THIS!!! I got super excited when I realized you're a cis male who cosplay as females! It made me so happy ^^ Best of luck to you!
ok a) how dare you be so cute b) if you want to cosplay jester again you can buy sheer blue opera gloves for super cheap!! they’re what i use for my jester cosplay and they look a lot more skin like (they’re basically the same material as tights or arm socks!)
I will start off by saying while it's not my thing but seeing you do what makes you happy and that you're proud to show it off is awesome and don't let anyone stop you from doing what makes you happy boss
Markyyy just so u know I think u (and Nina) might just be the cutest person(people) I’ve even seen 😍😍😍 honestly loved the cosplay and loved the stream, please just keep doing what you’re doing and what makes you happy - I’m always enjoying it ❤️ lots of love ❤️
Are there more peeps who wants to see an interaction between Jester and the Gentlemen XD Where Sherlock Hulmes is Jester and Laura Bailey is the Gentlemen XD
Not to rain down praise upon you on all platforms (but that’s exactly what I’m doing😂) your cosplay is so amazingly good and inspiring af to a new fluid makeup user I myself wanted to do Yasha but I’m nowhere close to that yet 😂. You’re an inspiration to me in so many ways dnd wise, nerdy stuff wise and feminine expression wise. I’ll stop raving like a weirdo now, you looked great and I love to see this side of you
Haven't caught up on the hallowe'en episode yet (we've gotten behind on all of our watch lists...), but I watched this and I have to say, I think it came together really well in the end. You really pull it off!
you look so cute!!! 😍😍😍also, I don't think your voice itself was the shock? but the DIFFERENCE of you doing the jester voice and THEN using your own voice was hilarious 😋
Good bit of Halloween fun! Any ideas for future cosplays I should do? 😂😂
I think you should do a character form your campaign 😁
Starbane or Sanna perhaps 🤔
Anything that let's you keep the beard 😭
Tifa from FF VII!
Am loving your Strahd campaign. How about Strahd as a woman?

Please don't take this the wrong way but.. As a transwoman, this and your rinoa cosplay are kind of goals for me.

Same
Are you trying to say that bowsette isn't goals????
@@danielraitt3670 can have more than one goal.
Same
Mark you are more than cute in your female cosplays. You are absolutely beautiful!
Aww thank you Sherry! Nina's makeup skills are powerful illusions! XD
I just love hearing your voice come out of Jester's face, it brings me so much joy and I can't explain why
It's so awesome to see a guy cosplaying as a girl, I just don't see it often. And what a fantastic choice and such amazing makeup! I've been watching your DnD stuff for years and seeing you really go all out on cosplay and LARP is so fun!

RIP Marks beard. Have to say, when I saw you dressed up on the stream, I didn't recognize you at first. You knocked this costume out of the park. Incredibly well done sir.
Mark, you wear female cosplay like... 40x better than I wear normal female clothes. It’s witchcraft how you’re so pretty!!

I wont lie im jealous of how absolutely stunning you look in female cosplays, its amazing
Dude you're heckin cute as Jester, don't ever stop being you Mark!
Your confidence is something to aspire towards, I am a guy who loves the same stuff as you but I lack the confidence to try female cosplay for myself, let alone an audience, kudos for you sir
Maybe one day love! 💕 Baby steps, live life for your own happiness ✨
Oh Mark, you really know how to toy with my little bisexual heart.
Absolutely brilliant costume, make up, and acting, great job!
Oh my gosh - you are adorable! I think the ears came out spot on with the skin, and the gloves with everything together didn't come across odd. *applauds* Great job!! I'd love to see more of this.
Thank you!
And I thought the Bowsette costume was good, but you've out done yourself this time!
I really enjoyed this! Jester suits you extremely well and Nina did great on the make-up!!!
As soon as you turned on the music and started acting cute, my brain malfunctioned and i choked on my drink...
Really great job, you looked super cute! Just a couple of tips, makeup primer is your friend. It makes the colour pop and stay longer, so you need less layers. Also if you're feeling brave, eyebrow blocking might be worth a try 😊
Oh and magnetic eyelashes are amazing and much easier too
Thanks for the tips, yeah I didn't get a primer. XD I need to try and learn to do stuff myself, so will look into it!
@@misssilvercrown Which kind do you recommend, may I ask? :)
@@annafantasia primers, I like Too Faced or Milk Makeup (though I'm not sure if that is worldwide as I bought in USA on holiday last year).

@@misssilvercrown Thank you! :)
AAAHHHH you look so dang cute!
this was a better jester accent than most of the cast of cr in the narrative telephone! loved seeing the cosplay!
I used to think I was straight. Now I realise I'm just into long lashes and red lipstick.
now that's a mood XD i'm always like "nah i'm not into men" until i see a guy in a skirt and some lipstick. game-changer
Ain't that the fucking truth lol!
Rather amazing how a man can look so feminine with the right makeup isn't it. You would think the totally different skeletal structure would prevent it but well done makeup changes the lines anyway!
I really love your crossplay looks so much! They really suit you! And this Jester was adorable! Can't wait to see your Calianna!
i love it! please do your own character next!
facepaint is a completely different skill and you did soso well with it !! great video as always mark
Nina did such a good job with your cheeks! SO GOOD! You transformed from one precious nugget into another.
Damn Mark, every cosplay you've done so far for High Rollers has been adorable AF. You seriously make me want to up my costume game.
going to cons alot, I've seen alot of Jester cosplays and this was one of the best I've seen. It is very confusing listening to a cute Jester then suddenly you switch to your regular voice. Stunning
Im glad you've gotten more comfortable with this type of thing, especially since its something you really enjoy!
Keep up the great content Mark!
Watched live on Thursday and thought you looked so pretty Mark! Excellent costume
Thank you!
I love that you're doing this because most importantly you love it! Cosplay and Dnd are two of my very favourite hobbies and I'm glad I can find content of both here on your channel 😊 keep doing you Mark!
The blue gloves work great. I didn't notice on the HR stream and only know cuz you pointed it out here. Good stuff!
This was brilliant! You look so gorgeous and it's great that you were able to use some of the Wish larp stuff as well! Btw tell Nina that her makeup is FIRE and she did a great job!
Thank you! Will do!
Mark you totally nailed this! I love it so so so much, you’re 100% right, you look cute as heck x
Thanks Heather! It's nice to feel cute and hear folks say it too. :D
The cosplay turned out so great! You look absolutely adorable!
Omg, as soon as the wig was put on it was perfect. I absolutely love it, it looks amazing. I'd love to see more cosplays from you.
I'm behind on High Rollers so it might be a few days until I can catch up to the Halloween episode but I'll be so excited to see everyone's reactions when I do get caught up!!!!
We did the Halloween episode for Curse of Strahd, a sort of bonus campaign we're doing because of COVID stuff. :)
This was incredible, would love to see more videos like this. I think Nina's help was big but always glad to see her in vids! Keep up the great work mate!
I'm sure Laura would/will react very positive with this cosplay!
Nice costume
Laura was the Gentleman and he was Jester.. they should have a crossplay family photoshoot
@@MurkyTheSquid Who gets to be The Ruby though?
@@pintpullinggeek Matt!
@@rarazalproductions519 i would argue that Trott should be the ruby
You absolutely nailed the look! Amazing job, loved the video
This is so hecking cute!!
Oh My Gosh! You look adorable!!
Always so fun seeing what you come up with for costumes every year! They turn out Very Cute.
The whole look is pretty great!
Lol the shaving bit, love you so much! Great video!
Nina did a truly amazing job. Too CUTE!
You look so cute as Jester!! I love it!! XD
Great video Mark, you look awesome as Jester.
Very relatable fussing with the top of the waist armour haha.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! You and Nina did a fabulous job!
Soo good! I cried a little inside watching you shave your beard, but it works so well. You are too cute as a female character. 😁
God damnit Mark.
You've done it again, i can hear Jester and Bowsette having a ball in your heart.
Seriously, you are an amazing human being
You look GORGEOUS :-)

Your cosplay (and crossplay) are always so darn good! Go Mark!

Great tip thank you!
It looked so good! I love how you aren't afraid to let your cute side come through. It seems to be the one time a year you shave your face, haha!
You look amazing! This made me so nostalgic for my early 2000’s cosplay period. Also you make a great Jester. Wow
Ahhhh Mark you are so precious and this came out so well! Can’t wait to watch the Halloween episode. Stay safe and lovely
Amazing job on the cosplay! You looked gorgeous 😍 I really loved seeing the montage of Nina helping with the makeup. Couple goals ❤️
I will start off by saying while it's not my thing but seeing you do what makes you happy and that you're proud to show it off is awesome and don't let anyone stop you from doing what makes you happy boss
Gotta say, the spot on Jester image with your voice felt like a dub.
Well done on custume and make up.
Wow it turned out amazing 😍 when I first saw the pics on Twitter I didn’t even realize it was you at first!
Markyyy just so u know I think u (and Nina) might just be the cutest person(people) I’ve even seen 😍😍😍 honestly loved the cosplay and loved the stream, please just keep doing what you’re doing and what makes you happy - I’m always enjoying it ❤️ lots of love ❤️

Blue looks good on you Mark!
Jester 😍 This is adorable, Mark, great job❤️
Gorgeous!
Always a little weird seeing you crossplay, but seeing how much you enjoy it, I couldn’t help but smile. Plus the end result was pretty darn cute.
Aww so pretty!
Absolute jester cuteness lol and talk about going baby faced when you shaved lol! Great job!
Daaaaaamn that’s cosplay of the week right there
I love the impression of jester, after this I'm watching the d&d high rollers episode

You look so cute as Jester! Great cosplay!
WTF, I thought the one you posted on twitter was a joke and it was a different person cosplaying. Omg you look great!!!!
This was amazing and it looked like you had a blast doing it. Thanks for sharing this with us.
So cute! Well done! It turned out great!!
Delightful. I am sure you made Laura proud. Plus it is a great Jester
