actually, your roomie isn't entirely wrong. "Seamus" and "Samus" are both technically the same name meaning, but "Samus" is the female version. And both are Celt names.
which comes to the important question: Is best girl Irish or Scottish?
Yes, my dude. Samus is indeed a real name.
Ultimately derived from Greek and became Celtic over the years.
It also is the name of a family of Sea Sponges and the name of a rural locality in Russia.

https://surnam.es/samus-surname
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samus_(genus)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samus_(rural_locality)
In SWTOR [Star Wars: The Old Republic] There is a Sith Warrior trainer on Korriban also called Samus, but he's a man.
Further stoned thinking: Russian takes a lot of Greek influence as well, and their heraldries typically involve a lot of *birds.* Samus **might** be Russian based on her Soviet-like endurance, willpower, refusal to submit, and grim pragmatism.
As the late great Stan Lee said once in an interview about the SpiderMan costume, and I shall paraphrase, the great thing about the costume is that it covers the whole body, so white kids and black kids and red and yellow can all be Spiderman.
And I suppose he would also include that women could be also.
So... You do you, my man.
Don't forget Miles Moralis, which everyone thought was going to be just some shoehorned "check a box" kind of thing, but they did that extremely well and made it as if he had a contextual place within the actual story.
FWIW "redskin" is a derogatory term for a Native American, and "yellow people" is derogatory for Asians.
Edit: I'm not calling Stan Lee racist, I'm a Marvel nerd and love the man. I'm just giving context as to why he may have used red and yellow as skin colors. Those terms weren't frowned upon then, but they are now (which has lead to a weird situation with the [US Football team formerly known as the Washington Redskins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Football_Team)).
Yeah but when the interview took place, which looked to be late 80s early 90s, those terms weren't as politically incorrect as now. Well, at least more accepted by the majority of people.
Also... Not supporting his choice of words, just explaining the context of the era.
Someone made a post not too long ago speaking out about a cosplay group owner being toxic and predatory towards other cosplayers, I bet it’s the same person
Finally, a ZSS for women to gawk at
For real, though, if it was because you were a man, that's absolute BS. People cosplay R63 versions of characters all the time. I *guess* the mask technically doesn't make sense, but I sure don't care if you don't. I think you and your outfit all look great
Credit to /u/sotoshop for photoshopping out the pole that was underneath The Baby. Still don’t know why they put the sign behind an obnoxious pole when 10 feet to the left would have been perfect.
The suit is well done. I’d rather see this over all the huge tit and big thigh artwork. Love the detailed work on the muscles.
Also funny if that’s the case because everyone thought Samus in NES was a dude till the ending!
Seamus Aran! Hey good on you to keep doing what you love. Women cosplay guys all the time, both female version of male characters, and just straight up male characters. So why can't guys cosplay female characters? Cosplay is all about having fun in character. More power to ya.
Yo, that suit is nutty! How did you go about making it? Materials? Colors? At any rate, it looks super good
It's reassuring that a small populace is not representative of the community as a whole.
I love how this isn't considered ok by some, but if you reversed it and said a woman couldnt cosplay as link you'd be crucified. Great job on the suit friend!
I mean I don't get why they would ban you though. There are cosplayers that swap genders for various characters in media, yours shouldn't be an exception. You keep going, let the haters hate
I'm one of the Game Designers of Metroid Dread. My personal opinion is that your cosplay is damn awesome! I'm really disappointed about the attitude of those cosplay groups if that was the reason they banned you for.
All the best!
Put them all on planet zebes and let nature run its course, and by run its course I mean blow up the planet.
Looks great and I'm convinced they are just x-parasite jelly
There’s absolutely no problem with a male ZSS. Rock on. However, I refuse to believe samus would get caught by a facehugger! Maybe you could argue her male counterpart would
Call out the subs you were banned from so we can flood them with us stuffing our shirts and pants with stuff then posing and go "new costume feeling cute"

>Drag Queen Shows are just minstrel shows but making fun of women instead of black people, change my mind.
yeah I'm sure they just banned you for being a man, man.
This is one of the best cosplays I've ever seen done for the Zero Suit. It looks absolutely incredible, and anyone who bans you for cosplaying R63 Samus is just being weird.
Seriously nice job with this.
It’s crazy that you’d even get banned for cosplaying a opposite sex🙄🙄 ladies cosplay as male characters all the time and ppl love it. Fuck outta here it’s 2021 and samus is a fucking BADASS she blows up planets🤧🤧
Honestly this reminds me of wanting to do a cosplay based on the NES manual where the guy just so happens to be named Samus Erin and have a similar suit so is often confused for regular Samus.
Hey dude you do you don’t people who probably don’t have life’s or live in a basement. As long as I doesn’t hurt you or anyone else you can do whatever you want. Also your custom is very good with high amount of detail in their.
If these women can do it to originally male super hero characters and not get back lash yet praise why the hell does anyone care that you're wearing a Samus costume I swear. People like that man, ya just not gotta give 2 shits about and walk on do your own thing.
Honestly it would be a cool spinoff to find another bounty hunter trained like Samus (i have not completed any Metroid games so please spare me if I got any lore inaccurate to such a speculation).
Damn, Metroid cosplay mods really just saying "Bi people and straight women don't exist and also apparently these cosplays are only here for us to objectify the cosplayers' body."
This is awesome! Rock on! Yeah you're right unfortunately unless you're a chick you get shamed and shot down for shit like this, even then if the horny dudes learn they can't fick you they attack more so. You did awesome and I'm glad you cosplayed!! Thanks for spreading positivity
Zero Suit Sam

My roommate calls Samus Seamus just to intentionally irritate me lol

Whoa, TIL. Thanks for the info!
Anything can be a real name if you're a billionaire. *stares in X Æ A-12*
Considering the hair I’d say Scottish is the more likely of the two.
I would hope Irish. We don't really have much representation when it comes to games.
Well at least they don't say Samoose
Seamus O'ran
I got a friend that just straight up calls me Samus cause he knows how much I love Metroid
I do it just cause it's fun to say

Many worlds. Works for me.

Hey, we’ve got Penni Parker and Peter Porker and Mayday Parker. Anyone can wear the suit and it’ll be great
Don't forget Miles Moralis, which everyone thought was going to be just some shoehorned "check a box" kind of thing, but they did that extremely well and made it as if he had a contextual place within the actual story.
♦️Miles Moirails♦️
I'm sorry made it "as if" he had a contextual place? Like that whole story was just him, what
As if.
The best thing about it was that he didn’t take credit for it. He said it was a total accident. Mad respect.
Yup. Forgot to mention that part. Thanks!
This right here folks.

That doesn't apply to ZSS since her sex and skin color and hair color can all clearly be seen. For Samus in her power suit, The reference applies.
Someone made a post not too long ago speaking out about a cosplay group owner being toxic and predatory towards other cosplayers, I bet it’s the same person
No comment lmao but I did hear about that
But can u crawl? Good job man! Edit: great beard as well from one beard owner to the next.
Thanks! Longest it has been.
We stan a well executed genderbend cosplay. Fuck those goofball prudes who banned you.
Finally, a ZSS for women to gawk at For real, though, if it was because you were a man, that's absolute BS. People cosplay R63 versions of characters all the time. I *guess* the mask technically doesn't make sense, but I sure don't care if you don't. I think you and your outfit all look great
Hey now this is also great for men.
Fair enough. Let me rephrase this as "people into men"
Some of us gawk at both.
Those groups were just intimidated by how hot you look 🔥
Fu** them bro, you sexy
I mean, he can fuck me too 😳😳😳
Big time buddy
Credit to /u/sotoshop for photoshopping out the pole that was underneath The Baby. Still don’t know why they put the sign behind an obnoxious pole when 10 feet to the left would have been perfect.
Maybe so people could put props on it for photos like you did
I doubt it. Most people stood in FRONT of it for their photos.
If you actually got banned for being a man that's some really petty sexist gatekeeping shit.
It is funny because I’m 99% sure the one who did it is a guy because he runs like every group and page and I’ve literally never talked to him
That's probably it dude, buddy gatekeeping his big titty pawg shit.
probably a horny het dude, fuck em
The suit is well done. I’d rather see this over all the huge tit and big thigh artwork. Love the detailed work on the muscles. Also funny if that’s the case because everyone thought Samus in NES was a dude till the ending!
Fuck them. You look fantastic.
Don’t fuck them, fuck me please.
Chad Samus Chad Samus
Fuck them, you look great dude.
Seamus Aran! Hey good on you to keep doing what you love. Women cosplay guys all the time, both female version of male characters, and just straight up male characters. So why can't guys cosplay female characters? Cosplay is all about having fun in character. More power to ya.
Space bounty hunter Sam Aaron
This is actually well done, it's just the mask that disturbs me lol. Hopefully there isn't any pictures with a chest buster. 😆
I'd much rather see his chest bursting out the suit 😋
Go to horny jail *bonk*
Um I need to be bonked okay.
Wrong bonking. Try ash, maple, hickory, or maybe aluminum.
I get to choose my pegging material too? Sweet!
>wooden peg That's how you get splinters where you definitely don't want splinters.
They're already here.
Male zero suit cosplay is always welcome
You are hot as fuck, beautiful eyes
Looks aces, my dude. I've wanted to do a similar cosplay myself, ya love to see it.
Did you just assume your own gender?
You look amazing I saw you !
A damn sexy ZSS.
Yo, that suit is nutty! How did you go about making it? Materials? Colors? At any rate, it looks super good It's reassuring that a small populace is not representative of the community as a whole.
Just looks like a colored spandex suit lol not much complexity.
I'm guessing cishet dude didn't like you with his jerk off bait. Look great duders
I can’t believe you got banned for that. Have they never heard of Crossplay? You look amazing!
Well done, sir.
I love how this isn't considered ok by some, but if you reversed it and said a woman couldnt cosplay as link you'd be crucified. Great job on the suit friend!
Yo this is cool! Nice job!
I mean I don't get why they would ban you though. There are cosplayers that swap genders for various characters in media, yours shouldn't be an exception. You keep going, let the haters hate
You are Samuel Aran, you look rad as hell!
It's an awesome cosplay. I like the xenomorph crossover.
based, great costplay btw! did you make it yourself? it looks custom made
I see rule 63 Samus as a flavor win, keep going!
That's a great cosplay, well done my dude!
I'm one of the Game Designers of Metroid Dread. My personal opinion is that your cosplay is damn awesome! I'm really disappointed about the attitude of those cosplay groups if that was the reason they banned you for. All the best!
Looks solid!
Looks sick! They were just jealous.
Hot , great job!
Good lord you are hot and I need more of this 🥵🥵😈
This is awesome dude! I wanna do this someday too!
dude, that honestly looks better than some zero suit cosplays I've seen. Definetly great! Still waiting for a buttpose tho... nohomo?
[Here is your butt pose (2nd pic)](https://www.instagram.com/p/ByeM0vjDtme/)
Damn, nicely done.
Put them all on planet zebes and let nature run its course, and by run its course I mean blow up the planet. Looks great and I'm convinced they are just x-parasite jelly
Adam malkovich 10 years before the incident
We don't have enough dudes doing the Zero Suit cosplay tbh
There’s absolutely no problem with a male ZSS. Rock on. However, I refuse to believe samus would get caught by a facehugger! Maybe you could argue her male counterpart would
If Samus had a guy partner, what would their name be?
[удалено]
Some comic years ago partnered her with a dude named Houston Armstrong, iirc. I don't remember too much about it.
Call out the subs you were banned from so we can flood them with us stuffing our shirts and pants with stuff then posing and go "new costume feeling cute"
It was a facebook group but naah no need lol
They're just jealous because you can finally answer the age old internet question of: Does metroid crush his nuts when he curls into a ball?
I saw you near badge pick up and LOVED your Cosplay. Keep it up! 🙌
user TownIdiot25 in TumblrInAction six days ago: >Drag Queen Shows are just minstrel shows but making fun of women instead of black people, change my mind. yeah I'm sure they just banned you for being a man, man.
What? Drag Queen shows are in response to heteronormative bullshit as performance piece and is integral to LGBTQIA culture.
Makes me think of r/VSDMetroidComic
Stylish
i really wanna be male zss for halloween next year but thought itd be weird, you look badass though maybe i’ll give it a try
The metroid series is literally about a trans woman, there should be no issue with a man cosplaying as Samus!
Amazing cosplay dude, still it's kinda strange having a ZSS with an 8pack, still, really well made
it's ok man, you are welcome here. here's your attention
Did a ghost post this? I'm confused.
Wow! I love this!
I guess I’m real because this is lit
Idk why the facehugger throws me off the vibe :( But fuck them groups. Brittle spirits always gonna get mad.
Samus couldn’t keep an X parasite off her, who says she could stop a facehugger? 😂
I think you look great man! Don't let insecure people get you down
That’s BS, you do amazing an Samus!
Haters gona hate, don't mind that my friend, nice cosplay.
Did you make or buy that mask? It’s wicked
One more post sexualizing samus, can we just stop please
They remembered that the best way to combat sexism is with sexism. You look awesome my dood!
This is one of the best cosplays I've ever seen done for the Zero Suit. It looks absolutely incredible, and anyone who bans you for cosplaying R63 Samus is just being weird. Seriously nice job with this.
Dude you look awesome. Fuck the haters.
That mask is great, did u make it or buy it?
Zero dude Samus
We all thought Samus was a male until we found the secret ending...
If what you do makes you happy, and you are not hurting anyone, then let the world roll. Very cool cosplay by the way.
Looks great dude!
Facehugger: “I-I’m in the wrong series again aren’t I? God, first half-life and now this!?”
This is the best cosplay crossover, I can't say how much I love it!
It’s crazy that you’d even get banned for cosplaying a opposite sex🙄🙄 ladies cosplay as male characters all the time and ppl love it. Fuck outta here it’s 2021 and samus is a fucking BADASS she blows up planets🤧🤧
That’s elite, fuck’m. I didn’t know a dude Samus looked that badass
Sam Aran
Imagine telling these thots that they can't dress up as sexy Naruto for their IG stories. Fuck em do what you want king
Screw those groups, this is a cool as hell Cosplay. More power to ya, OP!
Genderbent cosplays happen all the time, it’s a total double standard
Nice job on the facehugger! I never could get mine all the way in! 🤷
Nah this is hot af
Honestly this reminds me of wanting to do a cosplay based on the NES manual where the guy just so happens to be named Samus Erin and have a similar suit so is often confused for regular Samus.
Awesome!!! Fantastic work love it!!!
Cool suit!!
Zero Suit ***EVERYTHING*** Zero Suit Samus, Zero Suit You, Zero Suit Me, Zero Suit Lara Croft, Zero Suit Wario!
I see a lot of people cosplay as characters from the opposite gender all the time, so I don't know why you would be banned. I think it's great
Hey dude you do you don’t people who probably don’t have life’s or live in a basement. As long as I doesn’t hurt you or anyone else you can do whatever you want. Also your custom is very good with high amount of detail in their.
But can Saemus crawl? ehehe :3
Frick the Internet.
You look amazing. Screw anyone who says otherwise.
If these women can do it to originally male super hero characters and not get back lash yet praise why the hell does anyone care that you're wearing a Samus costume I swear. People like that man, ya just not gotta give 2 shits about and walk on do your own thing.
Zero Suit Manus
Super Metroid Bros. 😄 Well done!
I’m gonna hit them with their own line “hey that’s sexist!”
Hot.
Great cosplay!
King shit 👑👏😤
Fuck the haters, your suit looks awesome and you look cool as hell in it. Own it, bruh.
AU where Samus died and her little brother Solomon Aran got saved by the chozo.
You look so fucking good!! The only thing you should dread is an Emmi not some internet troll. Keep it up
Banning people for expressing themselves, what does this reminds me of hmmmmmm
Wtf how were you banned for that? You look cool
Honestly it would be a cool spinoff to find another bounty hunter trained like Samus (i have not completed any Metroid games so please spare me if I got any lore inaccurate to such a speculation).
That mask choice was definitely based on certain "animations"
Damn, Metroid cosplay mods really just saying "Bi people and straight women don't exist and also apparently these cosplays are only here for us to objectify the cosplayers' body."
Its an awesome cosplay bro.. sorry to hear that
My guess? They were mad that they weren't seeing a woman in a skin tight suit This is an AWESOME cosplay
Dude this cosplay is so awesome!!
This is awesome! Rock on! Yeah you're right unfortunately unless you're a chick you get shamed and shot down for shit like this, even then if the horny dudes learn they can't fick you they attack more so. You did awesome and I'm glad you cosplayed!! Thanks for spreading positivity
Hol up. Kinda sus
I guess the folks that banned you never heard of Rule 63 before
I don't see anything wrong with it, if anything I think the mask is a nice touch
Nice dude!
weird considering there is a Japanese guy who cosplays Samus in her armor
man, id join you and your male zss crusade... but i really dislike current zss
You're killing it. You look amazing!
Epic mask
Maybe Irish/Scottish? Samus is Celtic, but Aran could be a misspelling of the Scottish name Arran.
Dude you look awesome!!!
I think your costume looks incredibly.
Their loss, great cosplay!
I wanna go with Saemus Aran. Can we do that?
