I realized I genuinely miss the community you could form online from sharing an interest. In years past I met so many people through fire emblem- now people cycle through media so fast it’s so hard to connect

Made something because I’ve been thinking about this a lot, TLDR: life’s short, please live your life and allow others to do the same. You are cringe and you can be free #cosplay #cosplayer #costober #fandom #anime #videogame

First day of rehearsals today for Klingon Christmas Carol. They’re fitting us for prosthetics and boots to it’s gonna be a fun night! Meanwhile I’m handsewing my sash until I gotta leave since I don’t wanna waste a partial day off

Otakon 2008: Three Marth cosplayers find each other and spend the entire convention taking pictures together. My friend and I actually planned to attend together as the same character and happened to run into another one.

I deeply dislike social hierarchy in general (comes with the autism) but lord when I see it start to happen in my hobby spaces??? GET IT AWAY

4:1 ratio of water:flour heated on the stove creates a really good homemade fray check and in case you wanna make your cosplay gluttonous

Here are a list of flowers toxic to cats as a former florist: Lillies, Lily of the Valley, Tulips, Crocus’, Azaleas, Hyacinths, Iris, Hydrangea, Mums, Amarylis to name a few There are way more than this, Lillies have so much pollen especially if the stamens are in tact

So something I’ve talked to friends about and also just therapist in general is my mindset on joy. I choose everyday to face things with joy and positivity because I found it did genuinely make me happier. Even when I’m having the worst day ever or the world is being itself, I try to find the joy

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

My local Joann is now a spirit Halloween…

Gen Z and I yearn for 2014

Now that senate is doing stupid things I’m feeling like I need to rush my plan so I can go to grad school if I still wanna try and go. Because no way in hell can I afford it without student loans. And this bill legit will make it so no more loans can bE USED FOR GRAD SCHOOL

I truly don’t care how talented someone is, if you can’t facilitate a space that’s welcoming/contestant centered AND work professionally with other judges you are not ready to be a cosplay judge. You have a job to do. And that job is as much about how you communicate as it is about what you know.

Back from LCCC!!! Had a wonderful weekend meeting folks w similar interests and yapping to my hearts content 🫶 was also able to get a tattoo while I was in town!! Waiting on a couple cons to respond before I know my next event, but I’ll at least be updating my online store at the end of June 😌🫶💖

Uhhhhh EXCUSE ME oh fug- these were so essential to me learning to sew- I guess it makes sense like Joann was their main way to sell so without them… Ugh this is the worst timeline

Mayhaps… I take social media break next week. As a treat

I’m getting more and more hyped for Kumo EEE

Eolio Ezrest Progress Start… NOW!! #cosplaywip

… but what if I did make a new comp piece for Kumo instead….

I say this as gently as possible, PLEASE stop leaving self-disparaging comments on other people’s work. Things like “wow my work is crap next to yours” and “you look so cool as this, meanwhile I would never be able to pull that off” etc. These comments are SO uncomfortable to receive—

Comps really just itch my creative brain. I love seeing what people make, talking shop, watching their creativity unfold. It’s beautiful and I had such a great time

im soooo tired. one last shift to go

Lining Easter egg

Working on a cosplay while sad is hard bleh

Sunrise on the Reaping I fear is all I can think about while working on cosplay

I have made so many dye soup baths, LET THEM END PLEASE

(All merch I’ve collected thus far that aren’t prints for witch hat) I fear my it’s bag will be my whole personality

apple typhlosion

Dying more fabric 2 bottles of rit brown and 1 of Idyepoly black GOT IT DARK ENOUGH WOOO

The first time I was so confused I didn’t know what happened. I was like 10 and staring at my computer confused why the land before time wasn’t loading and it was just an hour and a half of rick rolling

Slightly behind on my personal deadline for arc but in my defense I’m sleepy

Piecing this coat lining is going to be the death of me

No real progress today, motivation is doo doo today and I needed to focus on prepping for UGAs bleh

Ashitaka is done!

Hamilton timeeeee

Been sleeping like ass recently, hopefully will get a better nights rest tonight

Failed on one part of my dying and succeeded on the other. (Gotta buy polyester dye cause only the natural fibers in this fabric took the dye womp womp)

Wooo time to dye (again)
