WHY IS IT SO WINDY IN CALGARY my hat blew off and into the highway and I got it back with some HUSTLE but good lord I wasn’t prepared for that

This Lyft driver’s playlist is 2005 high school dance and I am LIVING for it

Surprise! I’ll be heading out to #Otafest in Calgary next weekend! Initially I was planning 2 days but due to surgery recovery I’m gonna take it easy 🥲 I’ve fixed up Son Goku, I’m sure like 12 people there will recognize #Saiyuki cosplay but hey 🙈 See you there, friends!!!

The impact of complimenting a cosplay We see a cosplayer that jumps out for us! Maybe they’re cosplaying our favorite character, from a series we never see anyone do, have done an amazing job on their crafting! What can the impact of saying something be? #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayetiquette

I hope this helps others who might be feeling the same thing. There is so much we can’t control but, especially with cosplay and hobbies we love, there are DEFINITELY things we can control to support ourselves and others. #cosplay #cosplayer #wellness

Sorry for the lack of like… anything. My mom is still in hospital and between work and being at the hospital every day I just haven’t had any time. Hoping things clear up soon.

I’m so happy to announce that we raised 308 Euros for Stiftung Kinderhilfe at aniMUC! Thank you to everyone who donated for prints ☺️ your generosity goes to a good cause supporting children, young people, and adults with disabilities!

How did Shake Shack at the Istanbul Airport cost me 99$ CAD

Our flight out of Istanbul was overbooked so you bet I was first in they boarding line because we are getting back to Vancouver today no matter what 😤

Extra day in Munich! But under kinda unfortunate circumstances. Our flight home got cancelled and rebooked to tomorrow… I really want to see my cats 😭 Also… not thrilled about the extra 8 hours of travel time tmr 😬

Rafayel today at @animuc_de ! Come by my booth (I’ll be around 10-10:45 and then 12-3! My panel is at 2:15pm as well! Come do a deep dive into cosplay lore 😉 (Don’t ask me to dance, I can’t) #cosplay #animuc #loveandeepspace #rafayel #rafayelcosplay

Catch me as Peter Pan at the second star to the right (aka @animuc_de ) today! With @jennaoliverva as Wendy! #cosplay #peterpan #animuc #disney

Residenz Munchen… vibin hallways, stellar ceilings, epic staircases and dog 👁️ 👄 👁️ Didn’t think we’d spend so long at the museum though, well worth the entry. Learned a lot! #munich #germany #travel

Saw a guy wearing a shirt that said “It’s just a Dustin thing, you wouldn’t understand”. Is he Dustin? Or, funnier scenario, is he NOT Dustin?

Treated myself to some sunglasses at the airport and soon we’ll be off to Germany! 🇩🇪

Just one week left until aniMUC and @jennaoliverva.bsky.social and I head off to Germany tomorrow! AHHH! #animuc #cosplay #germany

It’s Trans Day of Visibility in a world that is increasingly hostile against trans existence. I am visible because others can’t be. I am visible because it is life saving for trans people to see other trans people existing and thriving. You deserve support and freedom to be exactly who you are.

Big announcement tomorrow!! Can’t wait to share 👀

Holy yikes… so I can’t feel much on one of my thighs because that’s where the skin graft for my phalloplasty was taken. Usually not a big deal. I was holding my steamer in my lap while working and I guess it was burning but I couldn’t feel it. Well BIG blister on my thigh now… ouch 🤕

There is no pointless way to cosplay. Many of us cosplay for the love of it. Expression doesn’t require metrics to be meaningful.

OMG YESS!!!! I’m so happy you got the ticket!!! See you there 👀👀😁

Anyone telling you what does and does not have value in a hobby is selling something. Don’t buy it.

I am so ill right now but I have so much still left to do for aniMUC and Germany 😭

Curly mullet rose vampire aesthetic at @bonded.and.enchanted this weekend 🥀 #cosplay #bookish #vampire #fae

It’s been a WEEK. Mom’s still on the ICU but stabilizing. I was able to take some time to craft and take my mind off things today— no use worrying about what I can’t change. Looking forward to scam ball next week, Germany at the end of the month and a few unannounced events later in the year.

Been watching some Digimon

Please send good thoughts, my mom is in the ICU again.

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post but after seeing posts they have echoed my experience over the years as well as reading responses from the ‘Experiences of Trans Cosplayers Survey’ I decided I wanted to share this. #cosplay #transgender #trans #cosplayer #topsurgery

Officially closed on a new house! Moving into our first stand alone home this weekend— back to our hometown too!

Don’t go fabric shopping with me. I will point at every extremely inappropriate fabric for your costume, suggest you make your cosplay out of that, and wait for you to laugh. Your lack of laughing will not deter me from doing this again and again.

In like a lion 💥 Over a decade later I FINALLY re-did Squall 👏🏻 I’m just going though all the classic FF boys Photo by @echolight_photogroup #cosplay #squall #finalfantasy #ffviii #squallleonhart

This next month is gonna be nuts. Moving in a week or so, major work event to prep for, and prepping cosplays for at least one event in April… maybe one in March tbh 👀 I can do it 😤

“Roommates” day out on Valentines Day 💕 #cosplay #genshin #genshinimpact #alhaitham #kaveh

Please consider donating to organizations working to support the community of Tumbler Ridge. Those dealing with such an enormous tragedy shouldn’t have to worry about anything but healing. www.redcross.ca

I’m so excited to finally get to announce that I’ll be returning to Germany for aniMUC!!! 🇩🇪 I can’t wait to see ya’ll!!! 🩵🩵🩵

A significant amount of mine and @jennaoliverva.bsky.social ‘s online communication is just reels and images of things that remind us of our cats

Unpopular opinion(?) but I don’t think a game with an easy or “story” mode should ever put a player in a position where they’re progression locked due to a boss/level challenge.

they spilled his chocolate milk.

There are so many songs I love the SOUND of but hate the lyrics. Like fr the implications of “Drop the Girl” just suck but what a bop???

I’m pleased to present my share-back from the “Experiences of Trans Cosplayers” survey I created last month. This share-back summarizes findings about trans cosplayers in community, how we cosplay and our experiences across different cosplay activities. #cosplay #cosplayer #trans #transgender

Man I wish my bank hadn’t sent me an email at 3am telling me my credit score had been updated cause of course I’m gonna panic check but it’s just automated monthly I guess so false alarm. But I am awake 😐

I’ve closed this survey and am working on a share back! Wondering if any trans cosplayers would be okay with me using their photo in the share back? I’d love to feature trans cosplayers! Lmk!

Migraines are the literal worst

Commandeering my friend’s phone and asking her Love and Deepspace boyfriend to introduce himself to me is not where I thought my evening would take me

Nature weekend with friends is a total re-set 🩵
