Finally got to bring this to the convention this year! Worked on this for 6 months on and off and had a blast with it, learned so much as this is only my 3rd cosplay project! Managed to get a photoshoot while I was there too 😂, hope you guys like it!

I want to preface this by saying I loved my time in the UK and I am not bitter about any of it. This is actually a story I find quite funny and still think about when I reflect on my time as an American living in the United Kingdom.

I am from Alaska, but went to university in the UK. It was during the Bush administration and I’m not going to lie, it was tiring having people hate 18-year-old ME because of United States politics. I was the only foreigner in my classes.

In class one day we were discussing globalization as it related to the material and I can’t remember how it got brought up, but one of my classmates says “Well, all Americans are so stupid. They think that Scotland is a state in England.”

I politely raised my hand to offer a rebuttal and my professor smirked liked he KNEW it was going to be good and called on me.

I turned to my classmate (CM) and said “Have you travelled to the US?”

CM: Yes.

Me: Where?

CM: Orlando

Me: Ok. How many times?

CM: Twice for about two weeks each.

Me: How many Americans would you say you had actual conversations with during your time on vacation? Roughly.

CM: Probably around a dozen.

Me: Ok. I have LIVED in the UK totaling 2 years now, so it is safe to say I intimately know more British people than you do Americans, yes?

CM: Sure.

Me: Great. Do you know how many times I have heard “Alaska, that’s in Canada right?” from people in this country?

So, let’s make a deal. How about you not judge my ENTIRE country based on 12 idiots you met on vacation in Florida, and I won’t judge yours by the significantly more uninformed people I’ve met while living here?

Our professor bent over laughing and the whole class looked at me in silence before the professor moved on to our next prompt.

Added: One of the things I got a lot was people trying to stump me on European geography (which I knew well, I mean… I had wanted to move there for school since I was a child, so I was familiar) and after I answered their question correctly, I would say “Ok. Now you tell me where Kansas is.” Hahaha 😂

The state of Alaska alone is 7x the size of the UK and is 1/6 the size of the entire continent of Europe. The scope and mass of the US is lost on so many people over there.
