(Cut for random dream babble)

Had a dream I was at a convention and somehow the booth my friend was running also ended up being right next to where Sebastian Stan was seated (or he randomly decided to come for a visit to the table, I don’t know). We were chatting a bit when he looked over the crowd and said he wished he saw more Winter Soldier cosplayers. 

I said, “You must be crazy, there are a ton of them out there.”

“I’d like to see some of those alternate versions people do, though,” he said. 

I didn’t quite know what he was getting at. “What? Like World War II Bucky versus Winter Soldier?” 

“Like,” he gestured, eyes alight, “ballroom-gown-princess-Winter-Soldier.” (I think there was also an unspoken but implied astronaut Winter Soldier? Basically it was an idea riffing off of all the variations of Deadpool you see at conventions.)

I laughed and agreed that would be pretty awesome. I told him I had seen a bunch of girls dressed as princess versions of the Avengers (which is real, I have actually seen that), but there wasn’t a Winter Soldier in the mix. I looked over at @braincoins​, who was with me, and she confirmed it. She and I tried to figure out the logistics of finding someone willing to do a Princess Winter Soldier cosplay; but when I finally turned back to talk to him about it some more, he’d vanished into the crowd. (Which was slightly disappointing, but I figured he had places to be and we were lucky to have him chat with us for as long as he did.)

…For real, though, can you imagine a Princess Winter Soldier cosplay? That would be amazing and I need to see it. I wouldn’t personally want to cosplay it (I’m all about Bucky’s WWII blue jacket), but that would be so fun to see at a convention someday. :3
