Going to be a busy next two weekends for me! Next weekend, I'm headed up to Philly to compete and cast a MarioKart tournament. More info on my casting shifts later this week. In 2 Saturdays, I'm a cosplay guest at mini Pokefair in Maryland.

Happy Valentine’s morning, friends! Have some more cute pics from Katsucon of my new Nejire cosplay! Nejire loves you! 💙 #nejirehado #myheroacademia #cosplay #katsucon

POV: you’re Amajiki Had a fun time yesterday at #katsucon debuting my #nejirehado cosplay! Did a few shoots too, can’t wait to show you all the pictures! #myheroacademia #cosplay #poccosplay

Debuting Nejire today at Katsucon! I made the bodysuit and forearm guards, some parts ripped from an old Miccostumes cosplay. #nejire #myheroacademia #cosplay #katsucon

I turned on Peacock just in time for Bad Bunny and after he finished his performance I turned Peacock off.

Happy “best weekend day of the year to go snowboarding” day to those who celebrate. It’s me, I’m those.

Nejire bodysuit is complete (except for the buttons) Next up to sew are the boot covers. #nejire #cosplay #myheroacademia

Katsu crunch is real… About to sew up this new #cosplay of #Nejire Hado from My Hero Academia

For those who didn't hear over on IG, International Cosplay League 2026 in Madrid ESP won't be happening because the host con (Japan Weekend Madrid) is conflicting with the new Formula 1 race in Madrid in September, and obviously, F1 wins out. Thus, Youmacon 2026 will not have an ICL qualifier...

Samus. That’s it, that’s the post.

I am very much missing going to Joann’s and picking up plain white nylon spandex or white muslin for mockups… Now I have to order it and wait. Very first world problem, I know. But private equity can step on all of the Legos.

"Bloodstained as I am... Am I fit to be king?"⚔️ Did another shoot out in the snow but this time with Dimitri cosplay! 🦁 #FireEmblem #FE3H

"Tread ever softly, and strike swift and true" A couple more shots of me as Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt from Hades II, releasing her bow. 📸 @allyspock.bsky.social bow + horns @dangerousladies.ca all else myself, TriumphantBass

ok who the heck at Nintendo decided it was a good idea to drop this at 9 AM EST on a Sunday? Other than that... umm... Yoshi good.

Repeating: NOW is a good time to shovel if you've switched from snow to sleet. 1-3" of sleet (which is many times heavier than snow) on top of this snow will make it MUCH harder to clear later.

I love anime cons

This was a poll on my IG & Threads, but I asked what bodysuit cosplay I should make next, and Nejire from My Hero Academia won the poll! I'll be ordering the fabric for her today. Based on the popularity of my grass Miku cosplay, I don't mind adding another smiling positive character to my arsenal.

Sylux never stood a chance. Shout out to @mirihawke.bsky.social for this epic pic of my Samus armor in front of the Gaylord at #magfest Cosplay made by me using patterns from @willowcreativ.com that I modified for Metroid Prime 4. #cosplay #metroid #samus

So… I have a story from #Magfest. Thu night. I was in my Samus armor near the gazebo. Guy asks for pic, I nod yes. He takes the pic, then asks “do you have instagram”? I lift my helmet up and say yes. He turns around and walks away before I could tell him my handle. 🙃

While I am recovering from Mag-hangover, I have some exciting news! I’m in the latest issue of @cosplaygladezine.bsky.social ! This month’s theme is Hatsune Miku, and I’m honored that my Project Voltage grass trainer Miku has been selected! Pic by tnguyenphotos (ig) #hatsunemiku #cosplay

It’s always a dramatic emotional shift to return from an epic #Magfest weekend to the real world. This year feels… more dramatic than normal…

It is now safe to turn off your #Magfest 😞

#Samus returns to Super #Magfest 2026 The reception to my newest #metroid armor has been nothing but incredible. I still have some tweaks to make but overall I’m very proud of how this came out. I’ve been working on this for over a year. Pics by my love syzygy.lily (ig)

Glad I was able to make the tail end of the Magfest Metroid meetup. Got to face off against this Dark Samus. Samus cosplay made by me. Pics by spacebabecosplay (ig) #magfest #metroid #cosplay #Samus
