#<< tag for cosplay reference

recently read the time magazine special edition “Star Trek: inside the most influential science fiction series ever” a good portion of it is stuff a lot of fans probably already know, but there was some info in there that was still new to me, and lots of gorgeous photos that were amazing to see in print, too, so still definitely an enjoyable read! (apart from a couple instances of weirdly superiority, bro-esque writing, but that only occurred in one of the articles, thankfully)

one thing I really enjoyed about the visual aspect of the magazine though was some of the costuming visuals! For example, these crisp shots show not only the tailoring and seams but literally the construction and stitching on the TMP era uniforms 😍😍 (check out the stitching on the sleeve ranks in particular!!!)

next up, some extremely cool science things I didn’t know about and love that they exist:

this shot is excellent both for De fans (me) and also for seamstresses and costumers (also me!) because of that excellent, and rare, shot of the back of a TOS women’s uniform with seams and construction visible… positively a seamstress dream!! such a good garment structuring reference 👏🏻

also, an up close on one of Quark’s outfits that shows definitively that this outerwear jacket is, in fact, rainbowy tweed!!, a fashion statement I vote we bring back:

(it reminds me of this couch and blanket from my childhood, it was extremely 1970s and I loved it)

this little Kirk & Spock character comparison panel appeared next to an excerpt of Shatner’s writing, and to me it would fit in perfectly with those “who’s dating who” activity panels etc in magazines like seventeen, which, excellent execution, that’s such a good vibe to have considering The Premise 👏🏻

speaking of— I wish they’d mentioned slash fic, The Premise, early fanfic mail chains etc waaay more than they did (and for that matter, highlight way more just how important and vital the women Trekkies were!) but hey, at least they mentioned Spirk shippers, along with other parts of the magazine mentioning queer and nonbinary+trans rep in trek. could’ve/should’ve been more, but—

anyways! It’s still a fun magazine to read through and has lots of fun images even if you’re already familiar with the stories. (did you know there used to be an Enterprise shaped landline phone you could buy? I didn’t, and now I very much want one lol) it also highly benefits from having article writers of multiple genders, so there’s that, too. 🖖🏻

FNAF: Tag Team AU is my take on the game's timeline wherein Michael Afton and Jeremy Fitzgerald are working in tandem investigating the oddities at Freddy's as they search for the man behind the slaughter

Been kind of down lately about my art, so here's some kind of old art that I'm kind of proud of.

The ones I'm most proud of are kind of scary, so content warning for scary imagery. If this possibly offends anyone for a good reason, I'll take it down.

I was in a bit of a weird headspace while making these two. The first one on the left was based around a Radiohead poster I recently gotten.

The second one was made while listening to a song called Maple by lostrushi / Lucy Bedroque (Another content warning as the picture that is used has someone hanging). The song kind of reminded me of a sprite that I swore I had seen somewhere on a thumbnail of Saya from Saya No Uta, so I tried to recreate it from my memory. Then it turned into... Whatever I created.

some vaguely modern-ish Tillys (honestly? i just wanted to draw outfits) and also a bonus Ryse because she is not getting out of the music pun shirt club just because she has horns, Tilly would pay extra just to have buttons put in somewhere uwu*

(Ryse belongs to @neraiutsuze)

{ friend of mine did a demon Crowley cosplay and it looks almost exactly like how I've been picturing Crowley in the Prince of Hell AU. This is total coincidence since we've never thrown ideas around together (and she doesn't know I rp anyway) but I love it. Love that we're on that same wavelength }

idk how to explain this but i keep buying outfits and dresses with the thought process of “oh! this could totally work for x character!” as if i need 40 costume changes for each cosplay???? at this point ill have more costumes than regular clothes 😭

So I'm going to a Doctor Who Convention this weekend and I not only just found out that I was selected as a panelist for two panels (I signed up because my mom suggested it and I, like a fool, listened) (I am actually excited though, don't worry) but also that they are going to be showing The Star Beast when it comes out. I should've expected this but I was keeping my hopes low so I wouldn't be too disappointed if it didn't happen.

On a funnier note I am panicking because one of my cosplays is almost impossible to sit down in chairs while wearing it so I'm going to have to strategically pick out which costume I wear on which day because of this.
