Celebrating the summer in style with the iconic bubble tea themed skin, Twitch streamer and cosplayerlynniequinhas transformed herself into the boba wielding DPS. Sporting that adorable green and yellow waitress-inspired outfit with the matching hat, lynnie is truly channelling her inner honeydew!
To make things even sweeter, she’s also got a melon bubble tea on hand ready to serve. Every tiny detail is perfect – from the little winking fruits on her outfit to those satin white gloves, this cosplay brings Mei into the real world. This sentiment echoes the fan reaction, which lynnie told Dexerto “has been extremely positive! I’ve been getting numerous of comments that I actually bring Mei to life and that makes me very happy.” https://twitter.com/LynnieQuin/status/1416543442159640577
Lynniequin loves how Mei dismantles stereotypes
This isn’t her first time at the Overwatch cosplay rodeo, though. “I actually actively play Overwatch every night! I play community games with my viewers on Twitch typically on a Friday, as well. “In terms of cosplaying characters from Overwatch, this is my second hero, and D.Va being my first,” she told Dexerto. “However, this cosplay is inspired by my personal community because they were all aching for me to cosplay Mei, so there is a lot of gratitude towards my community!”
Lynnie chose to transform into Mei for multiple reasons. “I always love to cosplay characters with Asian background,” she states. “And what I love about Mei is that she is not the assumed body type of an Asian woman.” Shattering stereotypes and taking names, she also wanted to channel Honeydew Mei as “it is a Summer skin from Overwatch and I wanted to get in the spirit and make sure people stay hydrated!
