From her Arizona Green Tea Princess Leia look (and how that came about), to her first Mandalorian armor &#8211; her PacMandalorian, and whether she&#8217;ll be doing more armor in the future. We also talk about her role in volunteering as a cosplayer. I quote &#8220;Why not do something for somebody else&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jazz also gives us a brief rundown on attending the most recent Rebel Scum Con. She talks to me about how it feels being a niche convention vs a multi-fandom convention, the vibes, and her positive experience with the con.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I jokingly say we&#8217;re getting into the Tales from the Dark Side of the Fandom, as we soap box and revisit the big three fandoms we talked about last time &#8211; Disney, Marvel and Star Wars. We hit topics including the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her feelings about Doomsday and X-Men 97. We reflect on Marvel burnout with discussion about the social media side of that burnout and the lack of supporting particular characters. Disney and Star Wars also catch some strays during our rants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We talk also talk a bit about an upcoming cosplay for Jazz, Nutcracker Barbie. And we reflect on Once Upon A Time, before circling back to cosplay for a bit more on what else Jazz may be working on next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find Jazz at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nerdyblasiancosplays\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nerdyblasiancosplays\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nerdyblasiancosplays\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nerdyblasiancosplays\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nerdyblasiancosplays\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nerdyblasiancosplays<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/nerdyblasiancosplays\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/nerdyblasiancosplays<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can listen to Jazz&#8217;s original episode at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-libsyn wp-block-embed-libsyn\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-align=\"center\" data-card-theme=\"light\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.libsyn.com\/episode-373-jazz-aka-nerdyblasiancosplays-talks-disney-star-wars-marvel-and-cosplay\">Episode 373: Jazz aka NerdyBlasianCosplays talks Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, and Cosplay<\/a><\/h4><p>After a long and patient wait, I am pleased to have Jazz aka NerdyBlasianCosplays join me for an episode of this podcast.
