Carbon Costume

Pupert Pesky (voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez in the series and Haley Joel Osment in the movie) is the younger brother of Maggie and Aldrin Pesky.  At eight years old, Pupert is a rambunctious kid with a sweet tooth who enjoys being included in his older siblings’ fun.  Pupert’s costume includes a teal hat, matching shoes, and a striped shirt.

Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz (played by Melissa Rauch) is a microbiologist with a lucrative job at a pharmaceutical company.  She marries Howard, and the couple have two children by the end of the series.  Bernadette is petite and often wears brightly colored sweaters layered over floral print dresses and dark tights.

Migs Mayfeld (Bill Burr) is a character in wildly popular Star Wars TV series on Disney+, The Mandalorian. A former Imperial sharpshooter turned mercenary, Mayfeld leads a rescue attempt from a prison transport ship. This team includes the Mandalorian himself, but they don’t exactly see eye to eye. In fact, the Mandalorian outsmarts him, which results in Mayfeld’s arrest and imprisonment. Later with the help of Cara Dune, and of course with Grogu in tow, he decides to break him out. Despite their clashing personalities, they become allies. Much like the comedian who plays the role, Mayfeld has sardonic personality and hard-edged sense of humor. While Mayfeld was mostly liked by fans, there was an outrage when he dropped The Child!

Seth Rollins (aka Colby Lopez) debuted in 2005 and has been making a splash ever since. He signed to the WWE in 2010 when he officially took up the mantle “Seth Rollins”. Prior to that he was Tyler Black with Ring of Honor. But Tyler Black was a long time ago. For the last ten years Lopez has wrestled under the name Seth Rollins. And he’s built up a huge fan following since!

Getting Rollins’ look takes a little bit of DIY. Of course you’ll want to start with a wig and a goatee if you want to get the exact look. And you’ll probably have to style the wig to get his slicked-back style.

From there you’ll want an all-black base to work from. Black leggings, black sneakers, a black bike vest, black leather shin guards, and black knee guards make up the majority of the costume. Then, using gold tape and fabric glue, apply the design Rollins has on his costume. Finish off the look with some black sweatbands and his signature black leather coat and you’re good to go!

Jade (Giorgia Whigham) is a character who appears in The CW’s Legacies, a spin-off of The Originals, which was the first spin-off of The Vampire Diaries. She was a sixteen year old student at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted.  She’s a vampire who is particularly prone to losing control when drinking and seeing human blood. In the lore of the show, these type of vampires are called rippers. In school, she enjoyed rebellion and detention. However, when she accidentally murdered her best friend, she turned off her humanity. Without it, Jade became cold, unpredictable, and unstable. Her lack of empathy got her banished to a prison world, where she’d torment her companions for fun. Ten years later, she regained her humanity thanks to Josie, a former frenemy and current crush. Feeling newfound guilt and remorse, Jade apologized for everything she had done.

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared is a unique shows. In so, so many ways. And that is part of what makes it such a great cosplay option. That and, of course, the group nature of it! Grab two friends and figure out who will be Yellow Guy, Red Guy, and Duck Guy. Then sit down to a little be of a DIY and enjoy your cosplay!

All three characters require a fair amount of DIY. The nature of the DIY varies from character to character of course. But there are a couple of supplies you’ll need for most if not all of the characters. These include acrylic paint, a glue gun, and ping pong balls.

For Red Guy you will also need some red acrylic yarn and a red beanie to recreate his mask. Just cut and glue lots of red yarn lengths to the beanie and then glue painted ping pong balls on top for his eyes. It will be a little difficult to see through, which is something to take into account if wearing the costume to a convention. To finish Red Guy’s look put on a red jumpsuit and black boots. You’re all set!

Yellow Guy’s version of DIY is a little different. It’s hard to find overalls in that color blue. So your best bet is to buy white cotton overalls and then dye with Rit dye. Once they’re dry you’ll put them on over a yellow body suit and finish the look with white sneakers. Yellow and orange face paint will give you the look of Yellow Guy’s “puppet” head and a blue wig finishes off the look entirely.

Finally there is Duck Guy. You can probably find a mascot head that looks like his but those are expensive. Your best budget bet is to use the acrylic paints and paint either a small crow beak or a “plague doctor” mask to resemble Duck Guy. Wear that over a black hood with a black jumpsuit and black boots and you’re ready to go!

Mr. Lancer is a minor character in the Nickelodeon cartoon Danny Phantom. He is a teacher at Casper High, though as a student he was a male cheerleader. He favors the athletes as opposed to Danny and his friends, who therefore often get detention. At first he demands discipline, but laster gets depicted as a devoted educator who takes his job seriously and cares about the students. Eventually he gets promoted to vice principal.

Takeru “T.K.” Takaishi (voiced by Junya Enoki in Japanese and Johnny Yong Bosch in English) is one of the characters who returns to the Digimon universe in Digimon Adventure Tri, which takes place three years after the preceding series.  T.K. embodies hope and is the younger brother of Yamato “Matt” Ishido.  During the seventh series in the Digimon anime, T.K. dons his spring and summer school uniforms, consisting of grey slacks, a blue tie, and sometimes a green blazer.  If you don’t have hair to match T.K.’s, you can trim a dirty blond anime wig to more closely mimic his appearance.
