I have been rejected from every con/event I have applied to vend at this year. I know it’s a competitive market, but it’s really heartbreaking and makes me want to quit trying all together.

I am the equivalent of the meme of goth girls showing bright pink socks to co trash their black clothes. Only mine specifically is Bluey merch against my black clothing.

The only “bunny” cosplay I have is this outfit for Hu Tao, done at Mag 2024. And someone called me Amber in it, even with my Dragon Zhongli plush around my shoulders as well. 💀 📷 | @iroun.photos

So fucking right

happy international asexuality day from your pal, pride pikachu

zofran is the love of my chronically ill life.

let’s just add yet another health concern I need to see a specialist for to the long list. 💀

i will not cry at work. i will not cry at work. i will not cry at work.

I love going through insta stories and randomly finding out about accounts that have me blocked for whatever reason lmao.

waking up and my head still hurting is a crime. what do you mean my many hours long nap didn’t fix it??? how rude.

I got to be Bea’s creepy little shadow and it was great. Look at how beautiful her Aqua came out. ✨✨

I know this won’t go beyond my immediate group, but the trend I really need to disappear immediately is asking cosplayers “who are you supposed to be”. It comes off as degrading and rude, even if that wasn’t the intention. 😮‍💨

Me opening the news every fucking morning

me: I’m going to be productive and clean my sewing space so it can be used properly! my body: tf you are, lay your ass down

I’ve seen this passed around a bit lately, so I thought I’d give it a try on my day off today! 💖

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.

rude people when they see someone in the same cosplay: "ew" cool people when they see someone in the same cosplay: *Spiderman pointing meme*

For those who attended our Fit and Alterations workshop on Sunday of #MAGfest, I've got the pdf of the handout on my gdrive now! Send me a DM if this doesn't work: tinyurl.com/fitting-pane...

Got to demo this game at MAG and it is so fun and such a brilliant fantasy world concept. The dev has put so much thought into her worldbuilding. Please check out her demo and support the project so I can meet the rest of her characters!

I wish there was a way to trade or gift cards in L&DS. I would make some Xavier or Rafayel girlie so happy with all the untouched cards I have for them. 😂

📚✨ 2025 Reading List ✨📚 a little corner for myself to yap about the books I am reading this year! I use StoryGraph to track books (@ arcadiandreams ), so here I will mostly give thoughts during reading and as I finish them. hopefully as spoiler free as possible. 🖤

I finally finished the book I was reading, and it was an immediate 5⭐️ But damn did it violently attack me the entire time and I just want to cry having finished it. It was great.

#Magfest is next week and I’m thrilled to be going for my 4th year with @owlafterhours.bsky.social 💖 Friday | Anti-Aqua & Taokaka Saturday | Kamisato Ayaka Sunday | casual comfy Ayaka might bring something else lowkey for Saturday if Ayaka becomes too much. maybe Loona or Stella?

F I N A L L Y getting a tilt table test ordered and I am so happy to be taking a step forward toward a diagnosis.

I’ll be the model / assistant for @owlafterhours.bsky.social ‘s workshop at Mag, so come visit us and learn about patterning!

just a casual night crying on my couch over BB videos, how much I have missed these men, and how happy I am for the four of them for still going strong despite everything the industry has thrown at them. 👑

me: man my tmj has been so bad lately, my poor jaw. also me: mmmm bagel

just thinking about ✨her✨ I am selling my wares at an elf and dnd themed event this weekend, and Cali is the only elf cosplay I actually have. but she is just too much to wear as a vendor, between the face scales, arm, and tail. I love her so much though.

@owlafterhours.bsky.social forced me into StoryGraph when I was starting my reading journey at the beginning of the year and I’m so thankful for it. It’s super easy to use and be organized with.

I didn’t do as much as I wanted, but I hid about 300 small ducks and babies and a bunch of googly eyes around my parents’ house before they get home today. Some will take them a long time to find and I’m looking forward to their reactions. Revenge is sweet. 🫡

/hacker voice I’m in.
