Tomorrow I wanna go find that Valko memorial tree irl..

I am late getting back to my table! So sorry!!! I forgot my badge and had to double back 😭 Be there around 3:45

LET’S BEYBLADE!!! Day 3 of #animeexpo and I am so stoked to be wearing Kai today— —tap in if he was your first anime crush 👀—- I’ll be at my Cosplay Senpai table after moderating the Cosplay Judges panel 11:30-12:30 and then back at the table in the late afternoon. #cosplay #beyblade #kai

I’ll be at my table in the Entertainment Arena until about 1pm! Stop on by!

Trying to act like I belong in this fancy van, how am I doing? #cosplay #kingdomhearts #animeexpo

Day 2 of @animeexpo and I’ll be walking (or waddling, let’s get real on expectations with those shoes) around as Roxas today! I have a wig panel at 10am in LACC Room 511ABC, it’s early but please come out if you can I promise it’ll be fun and wiggy!

I’m heading back to me table at the Entertainment Deck! Be there in 20 mins or so 🩵

Arrived safe and sound in LA and I gotta admit… the moment I get my luggage all I can think about is “I’ve gotta save my babies”… And by babies I mean wigs and by save I mean take them out of their bags and boxes to check for damage. I’m normal 😌

I’m officially in LA and AX is right around the corner!! 🤩 I would love to meet you all 🥹 if you have time please come to one of my panels or my cosplay senpai table over the weekend!! I’m excited to meet and chat ☺️💪🏻

My Lyft this morning is a Dodge Caravan that’s been fully decked out on the inside to look like a limo— this is too fancy for my morning commute to the airport ya’ll

While wrapping up my AX sewing I somehow lay my Roxas pants down in wet black paint 🙃 Thanks to noticing right away and sprinting to the bathroom to thrown the whole thing in warm water and laundry detergent it was 90% washed out but omg what a struggle

Anime Expo cosplay lineup here we GO!!! And it’ll be a real RETRO weekend— walking nostalgia is my goal 👀 I can’t wait to meet everyone and see all the amazing cosplays!!! Please don’t hesitate to say hello I always love chatting. See you thereeeee 😉 #animeexpo #ax2026 #cosplay #cosplaysenpai

Honestly… after watching so many crime shows… I think anyone taking out life insurance on someone should just be instantly arrested

What does wisteria symbolize in the language of flowers? (And does fake wisteria represent something different? Asking for a friend 🤔) Photo by @echolightphotography #cosplay #loveanddeepspace #rafayel #wisteria

Hey friends! Is anyone still playing Pokémon Go? I got back into it for walking/travelling 😁 Add me if you’re still playing!!!

I loveeee making giant KH cosplay shoes 👠

Aging in cosplay— a topic I’ve had a number of conversations with folks about over the past few years. Aging is not a failure, aging is not a flaw, and aging will happen to EVERYONE. Create the present, and future, you want to see for yourself in cosplay.

May is Military Appreciation Month but you won’t see the anti-Pride weirdos posting about it. What you WILL see is, come June, they will lament “what about Veterans month!?” having just said NOTHING during the exact thing they claim Pride month is taking space from.

Going out for brunch, am I underdressed? #Rafayel #LoveandDeepspace

I’m a day late posting but yesterday was just such an amazing blur! Had such a wonderful time at #otafest and felt so honored to judge the western prelims for #cosplayeh ☺️ It was also great to wear Goku again! THOUGH I FORGOT TO PUT ON MY CHEST BELT AGAIN 😡 #cosplay #saiyuki #goku

Using a crimping tool (“crimping”) has been popularized over the last few years. Crimping is a really helpful technique! But why does it work and why do cosplayers do it? This post comes because I’ve received the question “do I need to crimp my wig”… and the answer is a resounding “it depends!”

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 😤

The beauty of nature… but can I eat it? 🤔 Photo by @kon__art #cosplay #link #tearsofthekingdom #legendofzelda #animuc

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 👀👀😁
