When walking to the next photo spot for my #Melina cosplay I turned around to see where @theamazingmega.bsky.social was and somehow she captured this candid photo of me. 😻 Thank you for this awesome shot. Might not be very in character but as a photo of me I love it 💕 #eldenring #melinacosplay

Stream schedule this week! Figured I'd do some catch up days after work post-trip, so only planning Thurs & Fri evenings more definitely. I got the 1st ending in Silent HIll f last week, so I'm continuing 2nd playthrough to get more endings this week! #silenthill #silenthillf #twitchstreamer

Day 2 with @faelorien.bsky.social!

Having a good weekend so far selling at my local con’s artist alley with @faelorien.bsky.social! 😺 (Although I got mascara on my white Yuna top this morning that I have to figure out haha🫠)

𝑇𝑎𝑙𝑘 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑚𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠! A bit early buuut...I really wanted to post these so happy 18th anniversary, TWEWY! 💛 This has been one of my dream cosplays since the game released and I first played it on the DS way back in 2008! I had even entered a DeviantArt competition for it 😹 📸: @faelorien.bsky.social

Had a wonderful time shooting @cararaeee.bsky.social (Link) and @faelorien.bsky.social (Zelda) at Tekko 2025. Really enjoyed how a lot of the photos turned out, and I can’t wait to edit all of them!

𝑇𝑖𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛, 𝐼'𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡. I was gonna wait a bit before posting photos from Tekko, but I really liked this shot that @faelorien.bsky.social got of my Naminé cosplay right before we left! 🩵

First two days of Tekko and only photos I've really grabbed so far of us 😹 @faelorien.bsky.social

Finally finished my lineup for Tekko! Thanks @cararaeee.bsky.social for making my graphic! 😽

Making some Tekko cosplay adjustments as of now, since I do not want to wear Sheena in the heat nor do I have the energy to make the necessary adjustments for her right now. So Rinoa is back in the fold, with Triple Triad coming along! 😹

@faelorien.bsky.social and I's ribbons for Tekko came in!

Ordered some ribbons for @faelorien.bsky.social and I to pass out as Link and Zelda at Tekko this year. 🤭

I still need the wig (and some shorts for underneath lol), and I'm planning to bind my chest a bit, but otherwise almost all set to be the Link to @faelorien.bsky.social's Zelda at Tekko this year!

Honoring the two-year anniversary of Tears of the Kingdom with our tribute to its world and characters. I’m cosplaying Zelda and my friend is Purah! Grateful for the impact this game has had and the memories it continues to inspire. #TearsOfTheKingdom #ZeldaCosplay #TOTKAnniversary #LegendOfZelda

Happy Anime Day, it seems! Have some photos I haven't shared here yet of @faelorien.bsky.social and I as Todoroki and Deku, as well as her getting stabbed by a Tonberry at MAGFest a couple years ago! 🔪 😹

Preparing for my next #cosplay!

Got my Helix pierced and I’m so happy with it! I just hope I don’t mess this one up!

For friends heading to Tekko this year—if you didn’t know, I’ve been running Hestu’s Hunt for the past two years, and I’m trying to prep early to do it again this year! I’ll be hiding habdmade Korok and Hestu pins all weekend, each with their own silly lil names. It’s been so much fun!

Happy birthday, Rinoa! 🪽 She'll forever be one of my faves, both as a character and a cosplay. 🩵 This photo is from Tekko last year, back before I remade her duster! 📸: @lookingforashleyy on IG

A day late, but happy 9th Anniversary to Stardew Valley! It’s one of those games I always come back to. 🌾 To celebrate, here's the few pics I got of my Abigail cosplay at my first MAGFest in 2023! She’s my fave (and my wife every time 😹). Def need to bring her back someday!
