#2nd doctor cosplay

[arwendeluhtiene]

2023 in cosplay ✨🍎🍃! 2023 has been a bit of a "cosplay block" year in regards to working on unfinished and new projects, even though I did do cosplay stuff - I finally finished and did a couple of shoots with 2000s Crowley in the Summer 😎🍎 (which was a WIP since late 2019 lol), and also did a closet Lady Loki cosplay back in October 🐍🗡️🎆. Thanks to Good Omens S2 and me participating in 3 Good Omens collabs 🎉, I cosplayed a lot of Crowley this year, which is always good, including most of my versions (Eden/Ark, Golgotha, Medieval Fantasy, 15th Century Burgundian, 2000s Modern), and also did an initial short wig test for other modern Crowleys (hopefully for 2024). As for the (sparing) rest, I did do a 2nd Doctor shoot in February 💙💙🎶, and started working on Míriel Therinde for my closet cosplay Silmarillion women ♀✨ (also for 2024 xD). So here's for more cosplay in 2024, but also for enjoyment without stressing about it 😁👍✨! . . ➡️✨2024 cosplans?✨ Well, there's a lot of unfinished projects I'd love to finally work on more in 2024, so hopefully some will happen 😅👍 - Main ones are Modern 2010-2020s Crowley(s), and Sylvie (on standby since 2021-22). And I'd also love to finally do some shoots for Chase Arwen, Ted Nasmith dancing Lúthien, Legend of the Sea Devils Thirteen, an upgraded Elsa, and my upgraded 14th Century outfit. . ➡️Then there's my Silmarillion women series, starting with the "Finwean" Noldorin ladies, from Míriel Therinde, to Nerdanel, Anaire, Earwen and Indis. . ➡️Finally, for potential new projects, both Fourteen and God Loki are high on the list, and reenactment-wise, I'm strongly leaning towards the Italian Renaissance this year, I think. But we'll see xD

My second day at comic con went great, so happy with how my every doctor at once outfit turned out, and there were some great cosplayers there.

[i-like-media]

The 2nd Doctor's footwear

decided to make a post about it because 90% of the time his feet look completely featureless on screen and Google rarely provides helpful images.

In the colourised/spiced up image on the official Doctor Who Website has him wearing these black and shiny shoes, which I feel are slightly out of place for the 2nd Doctor, just for the fact he most often is seen with shoes that are worn and warped to an extent.

In his debut episode The Power Of The Daleks, he wears the ones seen below.

They're not entirely worn yet, but you can clearly tell they're not brand new either. The leather has wrinkled and warped, and the soles of his shoes have visible wear. I haven't got a clue what kind of shoes these are and can't seem to find other shoes like them online, so I did my best to make a general sketch of how they're shaped.

This shoe has rather angular soles with a small but decently raised heel. Then the shoe itself seems to have a little flap at the back and front.

Though these are not the shoes he'll have for his entire run.

In The Space Pirates, there's a surviving shot that gives a clear view of his shoes as well. The leather is once again worn and warped, but here you can clearly see it's laced at the front. The heels are also seemingly lower than the ones in his debut episode. I tried my best to find shoes close to the ones he's wearing, but the ones below are the only ones I thought were similar enough.

But you might be asking to yourself, "i-like-media, why are you looking at these low quality, black n white images? His shoes appeared in the 3rd's debut episode and he later came back for The Three Doctors" And you're right! They did appear in the 3rd's first episode! But let's take a closer look at those.

We get a clear (and hilarious) scene with the Doctor hugging his shoes, and essentially see them at all angles.

We're to believe these are the same shoes he wore in The War Games, so these should be good reference pictures of what the 2nd Doctor wore... except SIKE! THESE AREN'T THE SAME SHOES!

The shoes below are what he wore during his trail, at the last moments as the 2nd Doctor! They're a totally different type of shoe! The black shoes are also shiny and clearly new, with them having no wear at the soles or wrinkles in the leather. The shoes above also seem to be slip-on shoes with a regular heel, while the 2nd doctor wore laced shoes with a rather small heel.

He's also seen wearing a similarly styled pair of shoes in The Mind Robber. These shoes have a similar low heel and are also laced. These shoes also however seems to have the shoe-side-flaps be warped and curled themselves besides the typical wear we've come to expect.

Here are also some similar looking shoes I've found from various other episodes

These shoes seem to be the ones that are, in his original run, the most common type of shoes for him to wear! Not the shiny, featureless slip-on type of shoes merch often portrays him in.

Then let's take a look at the shoes he wore in The Three Doctors, and it's back to those shining, smooth and new shoes...

Technically this would confirm the 2nd Doctor DID wear those shoes at some point in time and clear up the discrepancy of the 3rd Doctor hugging those shoes, but in my opinion the costume department of that episode didn't really understand what the costume department of his original run was doing (which is essentially making him look unkempt on purpose. In his original run they intentionally gave him a coat that's too large for him and here he's wearing a coat that's exactly tailored to be his size.) But I digress. This episode does show the 2nd Doctor wearing these smooth and new type of shoes, albeit uncommon for him to actually wear those.

Though there's one pair of shoes that no one ever seems to talk about.

These ones he DOES wear frequently on screen and I've yet to see merch with him wearing them...

It's the wellies. Of Course it's the wellies. Patrick wore these often on set while filming outside, as seen in the on-set pictures above... but these often ended up making it into the episodes themselves. Such as below in the episode The War Games.

These are clearly continuity errors between takes, since the Doctor seems to wear regular shoes when not walking around rough terrain in the very same episode OR EVEN the scene before, but it's honestly a discrepancy I've grown rather fond of. I'd like to think he's somehow always carrying them in his Mary Poppins pockets.

Anyways, I hope this post kind of helped put a clearer perspective on what the 2nd Doctor wore and what type of shoes you as a cosplayer/artist could be looking for! Also sorry for some chaotic wording ^o^'

For a more coherent and deep dive into the 2nd Doctor's costume, you should check out The Zero Room by LeeMoone! They've done incredible deepdives into his outfit over the years!

okay. so. i did not vibe with the latest doctor who episode a lot? and idk why exactly. i did still enjoy it for the most part! do love that we're getting more explicit queer romance on the show, but idk it didn't feel...genuine? especially with the doctor saying that ruby's his best friend but then abandoning her to aliens for most of the episode. i'm like really feeling that the overarching plot must be about storytelling. like especially all the blatant references to bridgerton INCLUDING the bad guys and poker face covers. and the teaser line about it being the doctor's life they're playing out. i'm hoping that the arc is kind of about how something (pantheon character?) is kind of controlling the doctor/ruby's story to hit the beats it's supposed to bc its tv but is doing so in a non-organic way which is why the season feels so disjointed and very telling-not-showing. also the weird 6 month time jump between Space Babies and Boom. otherwise i'mgonna feel like it was just kind of poorly written. like! to be clear! i am still enjoying the show! but not as much as i have other seasons

[maniacwatchestheworld]

I do find it pretty funny that cosplaying for me has basically become, "How many shlubby suits can I own?"

Last time it was the Second Doctor. Now it's Matches Malone. I will not stop until I cosplay every man in a shlubby suit! Also... TIME TO DIE OF HEAT STROKE! :D Wearing a full-ass suit in July is a choice for me. u.u

Shaking my fist at the air. I have so many ideas to draw, but also so much outside of art to do! And besides necessary chores I'm also actively crafting a 2nd Doctor cosplay for Dutch Comic Con! (I'd love to show it off once it's done!)

Grrr grrr hope I'll have more time soon!

Final, only semi professional, update on my wings

Little reminder: they're for my Crowley Cosplay

You can see my Cosplay here and watch the progress of the wings so far right here in a short video.

Now, they are done! But I had to bring them to my friend's place real quick yesterday because I'll be gone for vacation soon and it has been my last opportunity to bring them to my friend which will drive them to the convention for me. So I was a bit stressed and couldn't take proper pictures. You'll get pics of the final result and in Cosplay by the end of the month.

Friendly reminder: this was my first time working with EVA and actually crafting wings

We're starting from the last few steps and end with the finished result at the bottom of this post.

I applied a plate to the wings where I can put both wings together and to steady them during wearing them

Then, it was time to glue together side one of the 2nd wing and check if it fits with the plate

next step: hiding the back plate with feathers

more glueing and using the hot gun to finish the 2nd wing

first look at the inner side of the wings and back plate put together, applying marks for the shoulder straps

Using EVA Foam Clay for the details

applying the shoulder straps with adjustable length and trying on the wings to see if it fits and holds (partying hard because they look amazing and indeed, so hold!)

finishing the details, letting them dry aka THE FINAL LOOK

It took me three entire months. Three months of cutting, glueing, even more cutting and glueing. Three months of watching Staged and Doctor Who while working on the feathers and all my attempts not to cry when something went wrong.

Three months of working day and night until my fingers were hurting and the lack of sleep made me look like a raccoon.

Three months of hard work are finally over.

Universal Constant from your WIP list sounds so intriguing! Could you share a little about it please?

Thank you for sending an ask! (Ask is referencing WIP Tag Game post.)

So, Universal Constant is something that is pure silly indulgence from me. Reader from our Earth crosses over into MCU and finds out that the crossing has somehow turned her into someone who is a comic book hero in the MCU, down to the comic-book-like appearance.

She has a hard time believing any of this is real and not some fever dream, and she has quite an attitude problem, driving Steve absolutely crazy (the Avengers were alerted because her emerging across the universe borders caused some weird crap and now she's kinda-sorta a prisoner because she's got powers and no one knows what to do with them.)

More infromation and a 1000-ish unedited sneak peek under the cut. What I've written so far is in 3rd person (she'll go on using the comic book character's name since that's what everyone calls her anyway) but I'm not super set on that decision - it might turn into a 2nd person fic. This one kind of toes the line between an OFC and a Reader.

TW: mentions of death, apocalypse, and alcholism (not Reader's)

Essentially, the plot is as follows: Reader is a scientist on our Earth, and the prologue begins with her waiting for the asteroid to hit earth.

🌟.

If there'd ever been a moment where a drink was absolutely needed, it was now. Straight vodka from a lab beaker didn't really count as a drink but hey, it's not like in an hour there'd be anyone who could judge her.

But really, it wasn’t a drink. Apparently, she lacked the blatant alcoholism that would be needed for that to actually not taste like poison so hey, at least she got that going for herself. The same could not be said about her boss, whose desk drawer she’d stolen the bottle from. He had gone home, probably to drink something better than cheap vodka before an extinction-level event would blow him and his precious bar all the way into hell.

He hadn’t bothered to check on anyone, including her. Guess there wasn’t many things an asteroid eighty miles across on collision course with Earth didn’t make feel inconsequential.

🌟.

She decides that stepping into the in-progress machine they have for multiverse research is a way cooler way to die than being crushed by an asteroid.

But she doesn't die. She emerges in the MCU. Which obviously doesn't feel very real to her.

She's taken to the Avengers Compound and Steve and Sam ask her about what's going on. At this point, she doesn't know there's anything changed about her.

🌟.

“Look, it’s a great cosplay but you have to understand these things can get really dangerous. We need to know what you were messing with to cause that kind of energy readings here?” Sam said.

Steve was still looking at her from across the table, his face deceivingly expressionless. If this was any way similar to her knowledge of the cinematic universe, he was a lot smarter than people gave him credit for. And why wouldn’t it be, since all of this was happening in her head. She rubbed her temples, trying to understand, trying to shift this hallucination into a lot more fun direction. But it wasn’t happening, since Steve made no move to shed his button-down.

Instead, he leaned in closer, looking directly into her eyes, and her theory of him having examined her was further strengthened.

“You’re obviously a smart person. You have to understand that we need to know the source of that energy spike. Its levels are unheard of. You’re not the first person to be in this room because of a fun thing that got out of hand, but this could be serious. Please?”

“Though you have to tell me where you got those contacts. The effect is amazing,” Sam interrupted.

Fun thing? Cosplay? Contacts? She shook her head, and something in Steve’s eyes shifted. The stern tone turned gentler.

“Do you need to see a doctor? It’s possible whatever happened there caused you to hit your head.”

She shook her head, and something about the movement was weirding her out. Something was not like it had used to be.

“I don’t think so. I just… I have no idea what’s going on. You’re… not real.”

Sam and Steve exchanged a look, and Steve turned his attention towards the StarkPadd in front of him, no doubt alerting someone with medical expertise before lifting his head back up to meet her eyes.

“Can you elaborate on that?” he said.

“You’re fictional characters,” she answered. “I… don’t know what happened. But I was… I was researching the multiverse, and then an extinction level asteroid was set to hit Earth. I thought that hey, perhaps an experimental technology is a cooler way to die since I’m dying anyway, and the next thing I know, I woke up back there.”

Steve nodded carefully along, and then cast a look towards Sam.

“Do you recognize that?”

“None of the comics I’ve read,” he shook his head. “Some details match but that’s not a familiar storyline.”

What the hell they were talking about? She thought about slamming her hand against the table, but the vodka was still swimming in her head enough to mess with her coordination. Steve’s voice was even more careful now.

“Ma’am, do you believe you’re Dr. River Rogers?”

Her brow furrowed.

“I don’t even know who the hell that is,” she answered. “I don’t remember my name but… It’s not that.”

It was apparent they weren’t convinced. Sam leaned in, and his voice was low, almost like he was talking to something that might explode at any moment.

They think I’m crazy, she thought.

“You’re cosplaying her. We assumed… People sometimes do things they don’t mean to. They think something is a cool photo op and it goes wrong. And sometimes, the line between fiction and reality gets blurred.”

Yeah, tell me about it.

Steve continued on that:

“It has happened before that a person… relates to a fictional character enough to start mistaking their own identity to the characters’. We deal with people who think they’re superheroes on a weekly basis.”

“I’m not a superhero, I’m a scientist!” she said, finally slamming her hand on the table.

The look Steve and Sam exchanged at that didn’t slip past her. Sam was the one who spoke.

“That’s River Rogers’ tagline,” he said.

She decided to ignore that whole clusterfuck and focused her eyes into Steve’s. He looked back with unrevealing expression, and Sam muttered yet again something about contacts.

“I’m not wearing contacts,” she said. “But would you tell me who the hell is River Rogers? Is that a relative of yours?”

Steve regarded her for a few more moments before tapping on his StarkPadd as he spoke.

“No. They used that surname and got away with it since it’s so common,” he said. “They wanted her to be associated with real superheroes, I guess.”

Steve turned the StarkPadd around and slid it across the table.

She looked at the image in silence. It was Wikipedia article. The picture was a comic book cover, featuring a woman in a lab coat and a red dress. Heroine was extending her hand in a classic comic book pose to hold back some invisible threat. There was some resemblance to her, but the heroine had, in true unpractical comic book fashion, a ridiculously long, silver-whitish hair extending to almost her knees, and unnatural eyes glowing in yellow-golden, almost wolfish.

Dr. River “Neutron Star” Rogers is a fictional character featured in both Wonder Comic and Cinematic Universes. Originally a theoretical physicist researching quantum gravity, she got her gravity-controlling powers and changed appearance from being exposed to graviton radiation in her lab.

She scoffed.

“Well, that’s a cliché. And gravitons are a speculative particle; they’ve never been observed. Also, if she’s a theoretical physicist, why she has a lab coat? Or a lab?”

Sam nodded.

“Yes, Dr. Rogers was the first one to discover them; she was trying to show the world they did indeed exist when the particle collider malfunction caused –“

Sam shut up as Steve shot him a look before turning back to look at her. He crossed his hands on the table, his patience seemingly endless despite the conversation simply making rounds. She tried to summon her best non-drunk appearance to meet his gaze and grabbed the StarkPadd to give it back to him.

“Look. I have no idea what you’re talking about, if you could just let –“

Her eyes looked back from the mirror of the black screen.

Glowing golden-yellow like a wolf’s, to the point of reeking light in a way no human eyes should be able to. They were not her eyes. They were not human eyes.

And on her shoulders, flowing down, down, down, down a mass of silver-whitish hair that was also radiant in a way that tripped well into uncanny valley – almost as if it was radioactive.

Her brain screeched into full stop, trying to make sense of the mirror image that was her, judging by every other feature except for the eyes and the hair. But instead of arriving into a conclusion, it made a loop, a loop, a loop, a loop. The hand holding the StarkPadd started to shake.

Steve’s voice sounded like it came from underground.

”We need emergency medical technicians in Conference Room #4 immediately.”

🌟.

It's more humor and sarcasm and a quite more prickly female lead than I usually write but I've had fun with it so far!

[puffins-studio]

Gallifrey One 2024!

Ignore the fact this is 3 maybe 4ish months late I couldn’t write well for a while. Since it been a bit since I went and am typing going off of notes, I may keep rambling a bit, but I always ramble, I mostly do this just so people know the actors reactions to my dolls but it also fun to share experiences too.

It was fun as I made ribbons for this year! It was also fun I got so many little trinkets in return and some special ribbons because I was In cosplay!. I had some that were audio reference so not many understand them but people really liked them and for the people that got my random references made me so happy! I think my favorite had to be my “for the love of spoons!” As I got the 7 lovers, a few Hebe Harrison fans who got the reference! And fellow spoonies who read and it and loved it and asked for more to give to their friends too!

The dolls I made for this year

Adric (Matthew Waterhouse)

He is great! I went to his panel and there wasn’t many of us there but it was just calm and full of little jokes and it was just a good feeling, he talked about his writing with the book and audios he did and recommended some, and of course I bought them to listen too! I think I also love that he jokey also calls his adric outfit ‘Pajamas’ he also had ribbons to give out

I think the most memorable thing at the con as a whole was when I went to his script reading it was the last day and I had a lot of my sewing ribbons left so I just went done the line of people waiting to get in a ribbon as there not a lot of classic fans and i found a kid waiting in line and I just got excited that there was another young person in the classic crowd,I made sure to sit next to him when we went in, he said it was his first con so I was just giving him things I have gotten at the con, as I always thing those are some of the best parts, I gave him a beaded blanket I just got that read river, I let him pick any pin I had on my lanyard, he picked a vote Saxon button, and since he was dressed as the 2nd doctor I found him a 2nd doctor ribbon from ones I have received and I give that to him too. I keep trying to encourage him to go up and read the lines when they called on people, I helped him go up and read Adric’s lines as I was just pointing at him and trying to encourage him that it’s just fun, there no need to worry as I can’t read too and I went up and people wouldn’t remember you so it okay if he think he can’t read and Matthew Waterhouse himself picked him and the kid choice to go up. Then the host of the event had a Adric star and stop them before they all started to read, and gave the kid the star pin for the scene as he was reading Adric’s lines. He got to say the closing lines of the script the host let the kid keep the pin afterwards! I felt so happy for him! And I have to think it must have been fun for him too, and to just have a 13 cosplayer with the crazy goggles and apron giving him two thumbs up trying to encourage him as he was up there must have been funny

Rose (Billie Piper)

She is so nice! I always feel a bit awkward giving my dolls to people, and it even more so when I try to give them to actors but she liked it! And it made me happy, and then one of the handlers saw I had ribbons so I also got to add to her ribbon train, I think meeting her made me like Rose even more. I can’t remember if I got a ribbon back but it was really nice to give them to people and to actors who like to collect them!

Jackie (Camille Coduri)

She was also really nice, I went to one of her talks and it was so great. When I was making her doll I had a hard time trying to decide on the outfit. I finally picked it when I read in the doctor who magazines, the costume edition that she got to keep the coat and shoes from her final episode but then one day she just give it to a charity shop, I was just I need to do that one. When I give it to her she was like ‘Oo shouldn’t really!? And I was just ‘I made it for you, you can have it’ and she was just saying how good it was and we laughed over the coat as she recognized it and re told me the story and I told her that how I picked that outfit. Sorry to any Peter fans i didn’t make him a doll as I was cuting it close and to be honest I kinda forgot about his character and didn’t know how much he care for the character

The Master (Eric Roberts)

He was cool, He was the only other actor J didn’t give a doll too, you can see I made one to take a picture with. But how I do my pictures and dolls is I look at the schedule (I love schedules) and I take a picture before I have them autographed my book and I give the doll after the picture during the autograph. I like this way as sometimes am bad with names and faces and this is a quick way to figure out who in the picture for me as I can just look at the doll and I never know what pose I should do so this give me one, his schedule didn’t work with my plans and I thought since he was American he probably wouldn’t want this random British character anyways so I didn’t give it to him. He was cool at his booth as he was taking selfie with almost everyone in front of me. (I know after the fact I realized i could have just taken a picture with him and the doll then at the booth, but am sometimes bad socially as I don’t want to take up their time even tho that what you pay for when you pay for photos and autographs but I also feel like am holding up the line when it like last then a minute) in the photos he was nice as he was like here come front and stand here and we can do this nice picture

River (Alex Kingston)

I was excited for her as she was the first actor I have meet at a con. I did feel a bit embarrassed as when she show my doll as was like “oh it’s a little me? Without any eyes?” And kinda did a laugh and i couldn’t tell if she didn’t like it and was just trying to be nice, but I bet she have a lot of people like this. When I was getting her autograph I was like one of the very last people on the very last day so by that point everyone was tried so when I got up to her booth I had her sign my new book and the old one I had and she seem confused why she was signing it twice, but I thought it was neat as with doctor who is all about time, and meeting again, and I thought it be cool having her sign the same book like 10 years later. Looking back I should have asked her to date it too so it goes with that idea better but that me just reasoning my anxiety and the looking back on it. It was still really great to see all the river cosplayers and having people understand very minor references and getting excited over it! There was one that give me one of tho red round glass stones for a reference to the Ruby in the ruby’s curse

The Master (Derek Jacobi)

Okay I got super excited again when I learned Jacobi was coming to Gally as I just love the war master audios! And if you know me you know I love the Shaka doctor and master! I made him professor Yana as again I didn’t know which to pick and I thought the first version to officially make it to air, I have a picture of him with the doll and I feel a bit awkward at the moment so I don’t think I will put the other one of me in my Jo cosplay with him. But I feel I look bad in it and it just look like all the others. I got him to sign a shalka picture and I give him my master ribbon with my doll thr ribbon that reads ‘*gasp* “Doctor you’re alive! I mean how dare you!”’ Was that line is actually from the shalka episode. When I was getting food I looked to my left and saw an amazing Simm and Missy pair and I just stop for moments to look before rushing over just “I have a master ribbon! As it just a master line and there so few master ribbons are there, They laughed at it so I think that enjoyed! but for Jacobi my anxiety kicked in and just kinda left like “I hope i didn’t come off as to weird” as I also just keep nodding as I didn’t have any words for that moment

Sylvia (Catherine Tate)

And the best for last! She was just so sweet 😭

I had her sign my river diary first and she said she really liked all the crafting people do for their costumes and props and I was like ‘oh I made that book’ and she was just ‘what!’ And then I showed her the dolls I made her, she couldn’t believe it, first she thought the doll was the doctor but then once I said it was her she got so excited! And I had to give her a wilf too! I thought a Sylvia doll shouldn’t be without a Wilf doll and I thought who wouldn’t want a little Wilf, I give her a ribbon too the one that said “We keep them alive by telling our stories”. she was asking how I made them and looking at all the detail and she was so thankful she got up and give me a hug! Later on I ran into the person who was after me in line at her booth and they told me I accidentally start a crying Chain because it was just so sweet. Oops… I accidentally killed them with kindness. She had ribbons to give out,they said ‘I’ve made you a nice curry’ I think she think it not a cool enough line to give in exchange but I like it as it sweet like a nice cooked meal. But For the picture I wanted it with both so when I went up I asked if she wanted to hold one and she was just “aww Wilf”

These were all the little other trinkets I got from other people! I was givien them by trade with other fans. All except my little felt dolls obviously

I had a great times just stopped and handing out ribbons that matched people’s cosplayer a ribbon! It was the last day and I saw a kerblam man and I was going to ask to take a picture and I wait as there was this other person and they turned and I saw their full cosplay and there briefcase and I was just ‘Delgado!’ And he give me a fake daffodil and some pins!

I just loved giving things to people, I was in line for photos and I just hand out ribbons to everyone around me and there was a bill cosplayer and I was just “Bill!” Earlier that day I got another beaded bracelet that was bill theme as this person had bracelets for the female companion, it had Bill’s name and the beads matched her shirt. and to the cosplayer I was just “here do wanted it!” and they like “yes!” So I just give it to them and they give me some trans stickers in return and the person next to us was like this is why I love gally

Another thing that I loved was I give the people at the cosplay repair station my sewing ribbons and they loved it. It was actually sweet as I made the ribbons as I was going to try and make things to pass out but I didn’t finish them, so I just had the ribbons and i wasn’t sure if I should even put those ribbons in my box, but I did and people really liked the saying on it and it made me happy that it was people’s favorite one.

One last funny thing, I had on my ace cosplay and I accidentally let me mom walk away with my phone and in the moment of realization I was just *pat jacket* empty pockets*pat skirt* no pockets. literally my whole schedule and everything was on my phone and with my disability i can’t remember phone numbers or anything (i literally have a note on my phone with emergency contacts and stuff so if I need it) luckily my mom saw she had 2 phones and rush back downstairs to give me my phone back but obviously as a 13 fun I had this scene running though my head

Here is my 2nd big photo dump of my Doctor Strange cosplay bellydance. After this, you will get a story, I promise. This one is all from a back to school event we did at Brandon Town Center Mall.

We performed & then I went out to lunch in my cosplay costume. I also went to Sephora because how could I not? This is also where I got ThunderBug, the Tampa Bay Lightning mascot, to dance with me. Video of that is included.
