Another cosplay from 2019 - this time it's Shank from Ralph Breaks the Internet! Worn just one time at Pretty Heroes, but @elementalsight.bsky.social grabbed some great moody photos from Cosplay For A Cause

A not-really-cosplay post for today featuring the original motivation for my "Butterfly Fae" OC - being in the wedding party for @ragzcosplay.bsky.social I feel so grateful to have all these wonderful friends in my life ❤️ Photos: @kameraninja.bsky.social

I love how the art behind me in these shots just POPS I've been cleaning up all my cosplay photos lately [that makes it sound like I'm done - not even close] so expect even more old(er) photos to come! Cosplay: Pepper Potts; Iron Man 3 Photos: shadowdragonfly.photo Shoot: Women of MCU, 2019

The human world is weird, but at least they have cute clothes! 😉 Amity Blight from The Owl House Photo: WCES Event: Youmacon 2022

I love shooting on location, even though the Rockies don't have nearly as many giant skeletons as the Boiling Isles Amity Blight from The Owl House Photo: @elementalsight.bsky.social Location: Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado) 2024

Let's make some magic! Photos: mindlesseyesphoto Event: @prettyheroes.bsky.social 2025

Big news my friends: I'm going to be the Cosplay Guest at Sarnia Pop Culture Show next month! To celebrate, here's photos from the last 4 years of SPCS 👓 I'll have a table and be running a Cosplay Photo Scavenger Hunt, so I hope you're all ready to come visit! Photo booth pics from D.Groombridge

The calendar says it's spring - when is the warm weather going to arrive?? (Butterfly Fae at SPCS 2025)

I remember when everything started moving to apps and I was morally offended at the idea of having to download all these little programs to access services when the Internet was right there and you know what, I was right

I'm a big tough girl. I tie my own sandals and everything. Cosplay: Megara; Disney's Hercules Photo: @nt3rp.io Event: @yeticon.bsky.social 2022

Happy MAR10 day! Cosplay: Rosalina; Mario Galaxy (design by @dessidesudesign.bsky.social ) Wig: Cactusmafia Photo: @elementalsight.bsky.social May 2022

WIP Wednesday! I've been procrastinating my next big costume by working on some projects to clean them up - firstly I'm not done yet but I've been re-colouring Amity's wig, and also removing the wire I put into my butterfly wings; it just wasn't working so I'm converting them back to a cape.

Way-back Wednesday? Why not! Cosplay: Plague Doctor (backless mod); Darkest Dungeon Photos: Stark Reality, Halloween 2020

Who's going to be spending the weekend watching @con-g.ca ? Saturday night programming has become a watch-party tradition in my household, between the masquerade, AMVs and drinks panel!

What better way to celebrate the news of the graphic novel than with a cosplay photo from @elementalsight.bsky.social

Who says electricity and water don't mix? @toastheaven.bsky.social as Jolteon and me as Vaporeon, Anime North 2025 (in bodysuits from mobbunny) First photo from @danvideoninja.bsky.social, second photo from @nt3rp.io

You still have 1 week to get your Virtual Masquerade video submissions in!

It's been *mumble mumble* years since I've been to @ganimeconvention but we're going back! Here's my cosplay plans for the weekend. Very much looking forward to seeing my Ottawa and area friends ❤️

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

It was a quiet year for me in terms of new cosplay; very little was sewn, but that's ok, and it's the direction I'll probably keep headed as I get older and pick up different hobbies. Never going to stop cosplaying entirely though! 2025 wrap-up post is live on slothcore.ca

Final Halloween post from 2025: costume day at the gym, where I wore my new sloth onesie and REALLY sweated it out for three classes. Also included: proof I kept the kigu on.

More Halloween costumes! I brought Leela back out for my Halloween silks session 🚀 Picking something which is safe for silks, especially at the beginner level, sure is a challenge.

This year's Halloween costume: throwback to Jurassic Park '93 with Dr Ellie Statler (and also Dr Grant) Fun fact: you can see my wig getting worse with each wear!

Keeping things rolling with a costume that didn't make the cut for Costober this year - "Butterfly Fae" original design using items from Great Pretenders. ...and also the newest gallery page on my site! Photos: D.Groombridge at SPCS 2025

31. Spooky cosplay goes to my Bioshock Splicer, based on "Baby Jane" concept art. Two photos today; one for the atmosphere and the other for my FX makeup (which I only did for that one Snailoween). Photos from @elementalsight.bsky.social and @kameraninja.bsky.social 2012 #costober

30. Work-in-Progress for Izutsumi. Was supposed to be done in May. I have ears, tail, and fabric. ...maybe next May. #costober

29. Dream photoshoot: I may be intentionally misinterpreting this one, but I'm picking an existing shoot. Cersei at University of Toronto, shot by @kameraninja.bsky.social in 2016. Aside from my costume being slightly incomplete, I think it's close to perfection. #costober

27. Cosplans: 3 of these were part of my plans at the start of the year. I seem to have a constantly decreasing amount of time to make costumes, so I don't know if I'll make any progress before the end of the year, but it sure would be nice if I did. #costober

26. Cosplaying a non-human character: I don't think it gets more non-human than Katamari Cousins. This is Mag, first appearing in Beautiful Katamari; photos by @elementalsight.bsky.social 2012 #costober

25. My favourite character to cosplay: this might be a weird one, but I'm going with "Postal Warrior" Twili Midna. Photos: @kameraninja.bsky.social and @veryfrankpics.bsky.social , both 2015. Also featuring @kurumasha.bsky.social @tedevium.bsky.social @hikarimoro.bsky.social #costober 1/2

24. Cosplaying an OC. This is another oooold one, a fairy I made based on "Pink Pagoda" lilies. Shot with Maple on her visit to Toronto, 2007 #costober

23. Cosplay from a game - more Rosalina? More Rosalina. And also the only purchased cosplay I'm going to post all month (though I am responsible for the racket, shoes, wig, and crown Lol) Photo: Dan McSharp, 2023 #costober

22. Cosplay from a book: comics totally count, right? Here's "gothic lolita" Kim Pine from Scott Pilgrim. Pic by Eleventh Photograph, 2011 #costober

Yet ANOTHER "Being" video for this one too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuXD...

21. Cosplay from a movie: let the haters hate; all Ghostbusters are good. Photo: @elementalsight.bsky.social 2017 #costober

20. Cosplay from a TV show: hey, it's my specialty: almost unknown side-character! I genuinely had fun recreating that skirt, and also a while dang cross-stitch which I never even got photographed. Mom/Grace from The Umbrella Academy, 2023 #costober

19. Cosplay from an Anime: Android 18 isn't *super* accurate, but for a stash/thrift cosplay it gets the point across. Also recently worn at a local meet-up! #costober

18. Black cosplay: with the power of lazy cosplay and big groups, Team Rocket from Yeti 2024! Also featuring @asleepymeow.bsky.social @popfrocks.bsky.social @battlefrocks.bsky.social @modernwizard.bsky.social Leslie, Mage, and WCES Photo: @elementalsight.bsky.social #costober
