Short version: I went to a con as Aziraphale last month (my friend was Crowley), and at least three different people thought I was the 11th Doctor. In fairness to those people, I was going as a brunette Aziraphale (because I was too lazy to buy a wig and didn't want to bleach my hair), and didn't have any wings (it was really last-minute), but it was still really funny/awkward.
One other person thought I was something Harry Potter related.
Has this happened to anyone else, or is it just me?

It's okay, I think people just get confused really easy sometimes, especially if they're not too familiar with the fandoms (I'm pretty sure I would have been able to differentiate between Azi and 11 even before I got into GO but I can see how they got confused if you went with the bowtie and tweed combo). I've never been confused while in GO cosplay but once when I was wearing this one lolita coord of mine at a con, people were confusing me for Pinkie Pie. I just kindly corrected them and moved on haha.

Yeah, it was a bowtie and tweed. But I was also wearing a sweater vest. Oh well. I have wings now, so maybe that will clear up the confusion. I know one guy was really excited when he found out that me and my friend were supposed to be Aziraphale and Crowley. He said we made his day.
I'm still trying to figure out how the cake guy got "Harry Potter" out of my costume.

LOL limited knowledge of Harry Potter I guess? Haha, yeah I got reactions like that too. Like people legit flipped their lids. I was surprised even laaate late at night when the con was quieting out I had some guy stop me in the hall like "Omg no way Crowley from Good Omens???" Which like surprised me at first because at this point I was looking pretty disheveled, I was walking barefoot (my heels were killing my feet), and my Aziraphale had gotten changed back into regular clothes. We had a moment of fangasming and it was brilliant. It's one costume I cannot wait to wear again.
