with the year coming to a close, its time to start thinking about some 2025 sewing goals!

starting off with... a soft shopping ban '''':) my stash is full to bursting and i have so many exciting projects i could make in there, theres simply no need for new things.

(im calling it a soft ban because im certain im missing things from all of my projects (notions especially, i usually only pick those as i finalise the design) and im not going restrain myself to my stash if a better choice is available, but it needs to be a purchase for a specific project only.)

ok on to the more fun things! im splitting my year into two (slightly uneven) sections- up until the end of may, im going to be throwing myself into costume work, and then from there i want to focus wholly on fashion & restyling pieces, as i have many, many things ive pushed aside for showy pieces in the past couple years.

for cosplays, heres the breakdown!

Lady Stede Bonnet is my main goal of the year, she will be what im putting the most time into. a (mostly) historical robe à la française inspired by Stede's iconic blue suit. i dont have any base layers to work from, so theres going to be so much to do before we get into the main dress! Heres a list:

Shift

Stays

Pocket Hoops

Under Petticoat

Petticoat

Main Robe

Stomacher

STRETCH- Fichu

STRETCH- Tie On Pocket (collab?)

Wig Styling!

STRETCH- Fan

STRETCH- Knife

its a lot to look at, but hopefully at least some of these will be pretty quick makes! ive listed a few stretch goals, mostly accessories, but id like to get to them if time allows!

if i finish Lady Stede in time (or, more likely, if i get stupidly frustrated at any point and need to put her down for a little) im going to pick up Janet again! i made the skirt back september, and cut out the waistcoat too! i have the fabric for the blouse & was planning on modifying my anne blouse pattern for it, so it should be perfect for when i need something easy for a minute.

as an ultra stretch goal, i also want to make Froggie Senshi! ill talk more about it in its own post, but i think its going to be a great comfy casual cosplay for the end of a long weekend. ill only be working on this one if i have time & energy though! (id actually really like to get a group together for this one but... logistics yknow?)

either way, post may mcm, im taking a break from making costumes! im not sure exactly what fashion pieces i want to make yet, i think ill see how im feeling when the time comes, but im excited for it! ive been feeling a bit constrained by my wardrobe recently, so im hoping adding some fresh pieces will revitalise it :)

i hope youre as excited to follow along as i am to make them!

Do you have any more ideas for Tim’s long lost older sister? I’m intrigued 👁👄👁

I’ve had the headcanon for years, but I’ve never fleshed it out in my head. So I’m just gonna spit ball some ideas.

She got adopted into a well-off middle class family, and has another two adopted siblings, because very quickly after her new family got her, they wanted to make sure she had siblings.

She’s at least 4 years older than Tim, and maybe up to 8. Cause I feel like she would’ve came very early on into Jack and Janet’s relationship. I’m just not sure when I’d gage they ever started dating cause I’m not sure if it’s said anywhere.

Because she was raised into a very kind, charity giving family, she’s a very kind person, but I don’t feel like that would mean she’s entirely responsible or anything, because she still goes to a public school and could be anything from there cause of friends.

She’s probably a bit rambunctious but not criminally so. Like the cops might know her because she hangs around people that do worse stuff, but not really that she’d do it herself.

Probably depressed and has minor self-hatred because her parents seem so perfect to her, that she can’t replicate it. But she isn’t angry at her parents, she loves her parents (as in her adopted parents). She’s just upset she can’t be like them because she doesn’t feel she can live up to them.

Aware she’s adopted and not bitter about it because she loves her family so much she doesn’t really want to know her last family. She wasn’t even sure who her bio parents where till one of her friends asked out of curiosity and she realized “Oh &!$# I have no idea”. So she asked and was told. Which she did find out that she had a biologically baby brother.

But she never searched out for him because she was too attached to her adopted family and figured and guessed correctly that her bio parents probably never told him she even existed. Not that she never wanted to see him though.

Laying up at night very light trying to imagine what he was like. And only got to find out one night because she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during a crime, and during an attempt to save her from a convenience store robbery. He jumped in, but bonked his head on something to be left out cold. Not knowing what to do her sister brought her home. Which was very close by to her house, only a block. Only reason she was out was to get some eggs for a dessert her parents were making.

Her family all being, good, although flawed people (her parents just hide it well. I kinda wanna add more detail to them some time so they aren’t so freaking bland and boring), decided to help out because it was like “OH MY GOSH IT’S AN 8 YEAR OLD” they say to the unconscious fourteen year old boy. When they take his mask off to get a better look at his eye to be able to tell if he suffered a concussion or not they instantly recognize him as her bio baby brother.

No one tells him at first. Tim’s more concerned about three things: Where is he, do they know who it is, and who changed him into the oversized PJs that barely fit him.

They become friends though, and they go to the same school together. So she kind of protects him there. She’s a senior and he’s a freshmen, so she’s able to do that a lot easier.

One day when another bad thing happens (cause it’s Gotham City, of course bad things will happen again) and he’s stuck as Tim Drake and unable to do anything without blowing his identity away, she tells him the truth. To which he makes one of the most panicked faces and screams anyone's ever seen because at this point they’ve known each other for so long he’s knows it’s true even if he questions it a whole bunch.

Her name is Samantha, because (and this is kind of dumb and embarrassing) when I was first getting into the Bat-Family, like before Tumblr, before reading any comic again when I haven’t for years for the most part at that point, I thought Stephanie was also one of Bruce’s kids. So I made this little AU in my head where they were bio siblings that were orphaned on the streets (might’ve gotten that from BTNA Tim), but I couldn’t remember Stephanie’s name yet, because I was like “BATMAN, NIGHTWING, RED HOOD, DAMIAN. WOAH”, and didn’t know freaking anything about the others yet besides a few things of Tim that I remembered learning from when I was a kid. I had a small connection to him (I think) at that time, but I didn’t really know a thing about him for the most part. So I thought until the next day when I looked it up, or when ever it was, that Stephanie’s name was Samantha.

Samantha Dover or something can be this new character’s name tho. I don’t know what last names are lol. So might change it soon.

I’m having lots of thoughts about a rocky horror au and I kinda wanna share. I think obviously that Geralt would be a good Rocky and Jaskier is extra enough to be frank n furter. But I run into problems with other characters not quite fitting. Just going off of the Eddie song i think Lambert could be a good Eddie. And then I was listening to dammit Janet for the 40th time and thought that Brad is kinda like Clark Kent. I had to pause to imagine Henry in his Clark glasses saying ‘it’s beyond me help me mommy.’ So besides doing a couple scenes I’m kinda stuck. I really want to photoshop some stuff tho. Any sorta ideas you could give me???

Janet and Brad are Yen and Istredd. They don’t fill the character roles AT ALL and that’s the funniest part of camp theatre! 

Rocky has to be hot (that’s like...his only job) and an idiot.

Frank-n-Furter is loud, musical, loves attention, and bossy (sound like a bard we know?) 

Magenta and Riff Raff in my version would be Eskel and Lambert (again, camp, it’s totally allowed). 

Valdo Marx as Eddie would be hilarious (the crappy ex? Perf.)

Those are my thoughts :D I’m also working on a Rocky Horror Witcher Show Halloween story so I hope we can trade posts and ideas some more!!

The good place

Disclaimer: A series of spoilers ahead. I’m sorry but I am sure as hell I will never be able to stop myself for saying anything. Also, whatever is in here are solely my opinions. If you think otherwise, It’s okay but that can’t change my views about whatever I’ll say here. Thank you.

N E ways

For a good, i dont even know, maybe a week or less, maybe a day or two, I’ve been binge watching The Good Place seasons 1, 2, and 3 (I certainly just started watching, I didn’t even bother to learn whether or not how many seasons it has and if it’s done and so I am obviously a wreck because of the cliff-hanger I was left with in the last episode of season 3). Ever since I started watching it, I admit that I still have that “Eleanor” vibe in me, like having a little voice at the back of my head that prevents me to do the bad things that I do, and as stubborn as I may be, I am trying to avoid it as much as I can. But I now am starting to recognize it little by little, and I am trying to listen to what it is trying to say to me. 

An overview: The good place, or heaven, is somewhere you will go to afterlife if you have done good things enough to earn positive points. Meaning, each thing you do on earth has an equivalent point (either positive or negative) that will all be summed up the day you die to judge whether you are fit to the Good Place or the Bad Place (or the hell, obviously) .

Now, I just feel like I have to point some things out: 

Being good, is obviously something that a person chooses, and no, it will never be their fault that some other people are messing with these choices. I still hate the fact that good people are losing points for doing good things just because unfortunately for them, the things that they are using when trying to do good things are there out of a bad thing that someone did. 

It’s not Tahani’s fault that her parents raised her and her sister to be competitive, the reason as to why she became what she is. I believe that everyone always being in favor of her sister scarred her, making her do everything she can to be on top that it kills her every freaking time her sister gets the recognition that she wants. I am still sad for her. She doesn’t deserve it.

ELEANOR IS ONE INTELLIGENT GIRL. I AM DOWN FOR HER. No matter how bad she thinks she is, it made her really strong and unbreakable. I am nuts for her. UGH.

Jason’s cute but is straight up annoying. If ever the group finally gets something to be enough to go to the real good place, he doesn’t deserve to be with them. He didn’t contribute any good to the group but heartbreaks for Janet, even for Tahani. He funny though. 

AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT CHIDI WAS GOOD AND NICE AND ALL BUT AS TIME WENT BY AND I REALIZED THAT HE IS EVEN MORE ANNOYING THAN JASON. I AM NOT EVEN SORRY. His indecisiveness is annoying the hell out of me I wanna go to the screen and punch him. He’s a good teacher though and he made them better people. Why can he do it to himself tho? Man up and decide on things for once, you fork. I mean, yeah, he decided to sacrifice what he and Eleanor had just because of what he is and how he is given the circumstances that might happen because of his ex being in the fake good place where they are, and that is certainly the best for everything bUt I MEAN WHY DIDN’T HE JUST MAN UP AND FACE IT I MEAN TAHANI’S HAVING A HARD TIME TOO BUT DID SHE WISH FOR THAT? NOPE. annoyed UGH. I still ship him and Eleanor though. 

Michael is more human than a lot of actual humans that I know.

I HATE THE JUDGE 

the doorman who likes frogs who helped michael and janet, I LOVE HIM

KAMILAH CAN CHOKE or not since she’s just as scarred as Tahani. THE MEDIA AND HER FANS CAN CHOKE FOR REAL THOUGH

I CAN GO ON BUT I HAVE TO END THIS. The only thing that I can say is: Be good now. Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow and certainly not when you are in the bad place already. The only chance that you have to be a good person is now. 

^even though i hate him
