Oof yeah, screencapping from web sources gets really iffy - I did it at one
point for some Voltron stuff from Netflix and a bunch of the stuff didn't
even like, render properly to file? Like everything else was there and then
the video area just had weird black sections. Thankfully solo
has uploaded video files for Guardian (there's a link in the comments on
one of the resource posts, I don't have it offhand sadly) and a bunch of
people have done fairly extensive screencapping already, even if it's not
always of bits useful for cosplay things.
Honestly at least part of what might get me to do it is that I already have
a nice black lacefront wig I've used for two other costumes already -
otherwise the cost of that would probably be enough to put me off. It's
definitely nice to have a cosplay partner, particularly because we have
very similar tastes in stories and characters, so we're pretty happy to
drag each other into new fandoms and ships. I haven't gotten her into
Guardian yet but it's next on our watchlist - I predict Ye Zun will be a
fave because she is very fond of 'had a justifiable reason for revenge and
then proceeded to take it way too far', haha. I do sometimes wish I could
drag more people together to do bigger groups but that involves a level of
being connected in the community that I don't have the energy for.
