My goal within the cosplay community is to spread awareness and spark change when it comes to ableism and accessibility within the community and at community events like conventions. I have won over 12 awards for my cosplays, two of which have been crocheted.

My love for competing in cosplay has always been to show other disabled cosplayers that they belong. Being on a stage in front of hundreds of people with my cane, crutches or wheelchair in a cosplay that is made with unconventional materials or adaptive features is such a liberating feeling.

I want to inspire other cosplayers like me to experience that feeling. If I can convince one cosplayer to embrace their disabilities and use their mobility aid at conventions confidently, then I have done my job and I will be satisfied. ”

Mothvic is actually the photographer for the Oogie Boogie cosplay, not the Tinkerbell one!

I guest at conventions on the east coast, specifically in Florida and Georgia. I'm also fundraising to acquire a trailer for my new power chair, which will allow me to be more independent and attend more conventions, so I can continue to spread awareness of the ableism that disabled cosplayers face.
