Hi there! As we approach the closing of JoAnn stores, here's a 🧵 from an employee (me!) to advise the cosplay community and crafters out there, with how to help with a positive end to this beloved store.

Someone looking to start a business, should consider opening up a fabric store.

Kicking off #28DaysofBlackCosplay with a new starter pack - a growing list of Black Cosplayers to follow if you aren’t already. Not everyone is here - so is you’d like to be added let me know. And I will add a part 2 and more once I hit capacity. go.bsky.app/PBrCZsc

Here's a little painting technique that I did a few years ago; a super easy version of a verdigris. I took acrylics and mixed into a spray bottle of Mod Podge. I then sprayed onto the pieces, making sure to focus on all the grooves, and wiping away any excess. #diy #verdigris #cosplaytutorial

Here's how I made bracers for my cosplay! Although contact cement is not my favorite, it's what I find works best for pleathers and similar fabrics. This also shows that you don't need a separating zipper. Hope you like it ❤️ #cosplay #cosplaytutorial #bracer #costume #cosplaybracer #diy

Here's how I made my shoulder piece for my Magik cosplay! I used EVA foam and foam clay! #cosplay #cosplaytutorial #magik #evafoam #armor #cosplayarmor

Slowly reloading my favorite cosplay photos! Y’shtola was my pride and joy costume! I spent way too long on it. She’s retired for now, but I’ll pull her out again one day! Y’shtola is from Final Fantasy XIV Cosplay by me Choker charm @dangerousladies.bsky.social Photo & staff file Cobheran

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Fairest goddess wandering the night, In your name we bare our hearts, With your grace will our passion take flight! Menphina from Final Fantasy XIV cosplay by me Photo @hakuoro.bsky.social Armor and accessories @indrarojas.bsky.social @jaymaxcoser.bsky.social #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #menphina

All my trans, non-binary, fluid/diverse, and fellow LGBTQ+ friends (honestly anyone who identifies that way) YOU ARE IMPORTANT, YOU ARE VALID, AND YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️

Since I recently posted my Maria, I wanted to share something I did with the leftover trim and appliques I had! I actually cut them up and "dyed" the flowers with permanent markers. I cut them out and used them on my Terra cosplay!! #cosplaytutorial #cosplayer

Been doing this for years and I still prefer a glue stick. I've seen other people use eyelash glue and other glues, but I like that a glue stick is washable, cheap, and doesn't hurt my face (I have super sensitive skin). It really is such a game changer!! #cosplaytip #cosplaywig #cosplayer

I'm so excited for S2 of Castlevania Nocturne, so I felt like I should share my Maria! I really wanna take new photos of this (location) and have been considering adding some extra embellishments to it ❤️ Hehe anyways I hope you like it!! #castlevania #symphonyofthenight #sotn #castlevaniacosplay

Today we celebrate our 13th anniversary ❤️ This is still one of my favorite photos of us. @nightmaredetective.bsky.social 📷 Jess Nigri #anniversary #cosplaycouple #cosplayersofinstagram #couple

Good morning, friends! Here's more Yuffie!! Pls ignore my hood looking wonky. I was messing with it before pictures 😅 Also, I realized that all the photos I liked, I'm holding the same pose pfft! Hehehe it happens. Hope you have a great day! Photo by adrianakaninja (edited by me) #yuffie #ff7

Now that I've shared my work in progress, I figured I should share some more photos in cosplay! I really am so happy with how this turned out. This is one of my favorite builds I have done in a really long time 🧡 Photo by @adrianakaninja.bsky.social (edited by me)

Going live now to play Jedi Survivor! Come join: twitch.tv/indrarojas

Hi friends! Wanted to share some details and close ups of my Yuffie! I currently don't have a dress form with legs, arms, and head, so I gotta improvise 😅 Hope you like it and I'll share more on this soon ❤️

Happy New Year!!

Good morning, friends. Hope you have a wonderful day.

After 9 years (almost 10), I finally got back into competing! I teamed up with my amazing friend @hoodedwoman.bsky.social who I'm forever grateful for experiencing this with me! We worked non-stop and AHH we got runner up!! YAYY Not bad for this ol' cosplay hag's comeback ❤️

Sending big hugs to all my transgender and nonbinary friends. I'm so sorry things are getting so effed up. Please know you'll always have a safe space with me 💕

Sad I'll miss the VGAs live, but here's another year hoping for anything Legend of Dragoon or Dino Crisis 🥹

What's your current goal??

Ok here's one last Beidou for right now! I love that she retains a pirate-y look without it being the traditional swashbuckler style ❤️ #genshinimpact #genshinimpactcosplay #beidou #beidoucosplay

More Beidou!! When I first made this costume, I wanted to incorporate different textures and fabric types. It's a deceptively complex build and I actually had to figure out new ways to do closures and affix parts without gluing/sewing them on down permanently. #genshinimpactcosplay #beidoucosplay

Got my first "cut above" pin ❤️ a customer left an amazing and super sweet review about me! Then the manager said that she was surprised it was my first one, because they overhear people talk nicely about me all the time 🥹

I've been super busy lately (I'll tell y'all about it later). I haven't gotten a chance to post much of my cosplay stuff, so I figured to share my Beidou cos from a few years ago ❤️ Hope you're all doing well ❤️ #beidou #beidoucosplay #genshinimpact #genshinimpactcosplay

Good morning, friends! What's the temperature where you are at rn? It's 54° here

It's been so long since I've made music, the "composer" part of my bio sounds tacked on. But yeah, back when I had the time, I made an OST for every project I created. Though none of them were ever fully realized, I indeed have 6 albums under my belt and a load of singles. 🧵

I find it super rare to talk to someone who is actually interested in me and what I'm doing. I think people ask me how I am out of politeness. I think I'm just there to listen but not be listened to. I don't think I'm boring, but maybe people think I am.

post a pic you took to add some calm to the timeline.

In my tired stupor, I could not remember if I had put deodorant on. I am ✨paranoid✨ about being stinky, so I wasn't going to FAFO, so the only place open was a gas station (omw to work) and well the variety was Old Spice. 😅 My pits feel like they have mouthwash on them LMAO!

Do you ever get home so tired, that you go to the bathroom and sit there in the nude just to give yourself a break from everything, including clothes, for like 5-10mins (or however long it takes to build the strength to get up before your legs turn into spaghetti)??? Because same.

The plan: go to bed at 7pm, wake up at 3am to have enough time to get ready, eat, walk Rohan, etc., before leaving for work around 5am. What happened: went to bed at 9pm and was kept up by the neighbor until after 1. Still woke up at 3am 🥹. First Black Friday retail work in 13 years!

Hey spooky folks! Looking for some suave gear from your favorite investigator, to treat yourself or get something for a friend for Christmas? UwUmarket has you covered with an awesome sale starting tonight! 1AM EST/10PM PST check out some badass gear, and stay warm. uwumarket.us/collections/...

This is a post I’ve been wanting to make for a while reflecting on my own experiences of cosplay burnout many times over the years. I hope it’s a helpful contribution to others who may be navigating fatigue, burnout and frustration in a hobby they have a strong connection to. #cosplay #cosplayer

Stopping by here to let y'all know that you can now purchase Dino Crisis through PlayStation (so you can play it/own it outside of PS Premium)

Oops! 😅 #potatovtuber #potato

The next few weeks are gonna be heckin' BUUUSSYYY for me, so I apologize if I'm a little MIA, especially with streams. ❤️

Here's one last Amelia! 💜 I really enjoy these types of cosplays, that have a unique silhouette and lots of different elements. I love when there's a mix of colors and textures (and I especially love if there's a combination of accessories or armor bits). #cosplay #cosmaker

Arcane spoiler- ok so I just realized something - all the characters represent the journey of a tarot suit. Several moments are of specific cards and I guess now it feels obvious with the name #Arcane. As a tarot reader, I've had several moments that have been like "huh" Rabbit hole time

Here's another Amelia pic 💜 This time I wore her, I tried to make my makeup a little more colorful and bright. It's funny how just minor styling changes can refresh an old cosplay! Hope you like it ☺️ #cosplay #breathoffire #ameliacosplay #breathoffirecosplay
