Thought it would be fun to unbox my Tomb Raider statue in costume, and that meant slapping together a loose Unified Timeline look. I haven't done Classic-leaning Lara Croft in years because as I've gotten older those shorts are really intimidating! But I think I did okay.

I'm not very good at this 2016 vs 2026 thing.

Birthday month treat yo self: my first Tomb Raider tattoos. A good time to do it with all the current and future Lara Croft goodness. @tombraider.com

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, because all my guy friends are going on about how fun Masters of the Universe looks. I loved He-Man and She-Ra as a little girl but this looks so cheap. Confined sets and that utterly unconvincing fake-ass CGI

Look, I get why they're doing it, but is anyone else exhausted by the "biggest, vastest, most" marketing message that accompanies every AAA game release? I'm tired.

Adulthood is putting running socks on your Christmas list two years straight, and when said socks fail to materialise, using bday gift vouchers to buy them for yourself.

This is 44. (and an annual tradition)

Death to 2025... May the original Green Witch commence a fresh, fruitful cycle for all.

You are [insert number] years old if you find these plates in your parents' kitchen while home for the holidays.

To those that celebrate, we hope your Christmas has been full of good things - and by that we mean moments, memories, company, and treats. To everyone, happy holidays and may the end of 2025 include rest and whatever self-care you need.

But also

It's 11 years old at this point, but hey, if #samlara (AKA Salara/SS Endurance) is enjoying a resurgence, so can this. If you want something Tomb Raider-y for today, may I offer uni days one-shot A Croft Christmas. www.fanfiction.net/s/10860371/1...

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft S2 (2025) #samlara

When you agree to contribute the dessert for Christmas dinner and it's something you've never made before.

As it's the last #Caturday before Christmas, here's a pic of our first gift under the tree.

There are times, like right now, when I find I've fallen into the dark side of the Live More Lara mindset. When you end the week physically and emotionally shattered because you took everything onto yourself alone.

Is it sad that my biggest question while squinting at the Tomb Raider Catalyst trailer on my phone was "Shorts or trousers?" P.S. it's trousers 🙌

I hope the fans are enjoying this early Croftmas.

New season of the Netflix animated series. A big announcement at The Game Awards. @tombraider.com fans are absolutely going shopping this week. #tombraider #tombraidercosplay

IT: Welcome to Derry > Stranger Things S5 Part 1

Saturday started with putting on a d20 tabletop shirt, playing our Call of Cthulhu campaign, and ended with Stranger Things.

Nothing like running your team's peer-voted annual awards for a reminder of how unpopular you are

Made a 6-year-old tattoo plan a reality this weekend: "Live. Laugh. Love" in Elvish. Just kidding. It's one of Anne Lister's most famous coded journal entries. In her handwriting.

Keeper ticket giveaway for South Africans. Not tied to a specific event so you can watch at any Ster Kinekor cinema.

Queen Bean and her dragon's hoard this Caturday.

As much as we loathed Alien: Earth, we are loving IT: Welcome to Derry

Haven't done one of these closet cosplays in quite some time. Thought I'd revive the Lockdown era activity with everyone's favourite fantastic zaddy.

My unsolicited advice for any developer: please do not release your game in the window of September to mid November. So much is lost in the deluge.

Not sure, you guys, but I think they may have just rewrapped their Easter Bunnies🤔

Jonesy: The Early Years

Have I ever done a proper introduction? While some of you have been friends/acquaintances online for years, others may be newer followers. As a contest judge, I had to provide a bio for Comic Con Africa 2025, so if you're curious about my cosplay background, and my life out of costume, here you go.

When this is literally your body type, and all the comments are about how repugnant it is. First image credit @tombraiderarabia.bsky.social

Everyone playing Battlefield 6. Me playing the Little Kitty, Big City update on Caturday. @littlekittybigcity.bsky.social

Turns out the reward for cutting back on drinking is a hangover when you have 2.5 glasses of wine.

Happy International Lesbian Day

That's a wrap on Alien: Earth. What did you think? I think we've been more critical than most (2 eps to go), but the show's debut did mean a perfect backdrop at Comic Con Africa this year for my Vasquez cosplay.

Happy Heritage Day 🇿🇦 P.S. As an Elder Millennial, I did the wors in our airfryer.

Guys, I'll be honest. I miss the good ol' days of Steve Erwin's passing, and how his family promised to continue his positive, world-improving legacy. My feed is a lot right now.

Croft, Drake & Jones, Artifact Relocation Specialists. While you always see plenty of Lara Crofts and a handful of Indiana Joneses at every con, Nathan Drake is a harder find. Which is why we had to get this group shot when an Uncharted cosplayer strolled by at Comic Con Africa this year.

Essential piece of camera equipment for Caturday.

Humblebundle to support World Central Kitchen, and get a bunch of my books from @tordotcom.bsky.social including Murderbot and Witch King! #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Is there anyone else with a series they absolutely adore, but always feel like they're the only person in the world who watched it? That's me and Dickinson.

Gallery time! From the casual to Masters-level competitive, here is the cosplay that caught our eye at @ComicConAfrica this year. #comicconafrica2025

Last day best day? One more tease while we work on our annual Cosplay of Comic Con Africa gallery. #ComicConAfrica2025

We ran out of time to post a couple of cosplay highlights from Day 3 (Saturday) of Comic Con Africa but it's never too late to celebrate local talent, so here you go. #comicconafrica2025
