Metroid Motivates Woman to Cosplay After Mother's Death

"Sometimes, even a fictional character is enough to give you a powerful dose of inner strength"


Yeah, "ficional character", that happens to religious people all the time !

Bum-dum tish

Props to her for achieving her goals, I suppose. No full suit with helmet, though? What gives?

Making all that would probably be rather expensive.

OT: good for her. and it's good to see the image of Samus used for something like this.

 

[Someone Depressing]

That's really nice! As long as she never plays Other : M and realizes how shit it is and how it made Samus a fucking pansie!

I'm a guy, and that brings a tear to 'ma eye =D Her costume look's nice too!

 

[Blueruler182]

Good for her.

 

[Tharticus]

Really nice pictures. I saw her Deviantart page and she dislikes Other M.

 

[Siege_TF]

I was gonna snark about Other M but I got ninjad about a dozen times. Instead I will critisize the implied criticism of Dan Hibiki as a role model.
To quote the 'dying' words of Eddy Murphy's Buddy, the slim doppelganger of the Nutty Professor;
"No matter what, you've got to strut!"

 

[Grahav]

Heartwarming to see people bettering themselves.

 

[UnravThreads]

*Sniffles*

Good for her! She looks awesome, too, and it's good she's found a productive, healthy outlet for everything.

 

[PureChaos]

she is looking great. awesome story

Okay, this is nitpicky, but why does the article title identify Perl as a "girl" when she's 25? Shouldn't it say "Metroid Motivates Woman to Cosplay After Mother's Death?"

True.

 

[Slenn]

That's a particularly odd but also very heartwarming story. It's good to see that inspiration and motivation runs well in this world.

 

[MasterChief892039]

You don't know how happy I was to read that it wasn't Other M that got her into Samus/Metroid. That game definitely doesn't need any positive media or support from the female public.

Lol, stuff like that always bothers me too.

 

[CommanderKirov]

Can I have a story about some obese american doing the same but with Duke Nukem?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaase?

 

[HellsingerAngel]

Her story is inspirational, but just make sure you don't choose to emulate a character like Dan [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Hibiki]...

But-but... Why wouldn't I want to be like the Streetest Fighter!?

OT: Very touching story. Wonder if she played Other M yet and her thoughts. If she has and she still believes Samus is a strong, female character, it gives me hope.

 

[InevitableFate]

That Metroid is so cute.

 

[James Raynor]

Thats a sweet story, just make sure she never plays Other M.

I was thinking the same thing...

 

[Faladorian]

So how does a fictional character motivate ? Unless its
I dont understand...

Samus lost her mother at a young age and had to be taken in by an ancient race and was trained to be a bounty hunter.

Also, I bet Fox News won't report about this at all. They'd rather believe that such a medium causes rape and only rape, not rehabilitation.

 

[The Night Shade]

That's a very interesting story it shows how a fictional character can change peoples lifes

 

[HellspawnCandy]

I think she looks really pretty. Would've never guessed she was overweight. Hey just because it's a fictional character doesn't mean it's silly or dumb, as long as it's a good fictional character instead of say....DARTH VADER
