#I also got a fuck ton of cosplay stuff

[slythernnn]

Got some new lingerie 🥰

[savanir]

DP x DC prompt [13]

Impulse is a little back in time, simply to retrieve a thing from the most haunted city in america.

the instructions were clear, in. grab thing. out. no funny business, no anything else.

why the fuck did it had to be impulse then?! that’s never gonna- ah, whatever…

So Bart does not just do only that. He remembers to keep moving fast so he’s not seen, but well, he spotted these two white suited goofballs who looked upset with their little box contraption and somehow were missing the little unplugged wire and Bart figured, what could the harm be?

so he might have plugged the little wire in while he was there, sue him, the guys looked surprised but pleased that their little thingy was suddenly working. good job Impulse right?

he didn’t forget about it but he might have shoved it in the back trunk of his head while he went on to do his actual job which is essentially forgetting for a guy with eidetic memory.

So yeah, imagine his surprise when he gets back to where he came from and finds himself on a doomed, desolate earth with green skies and nothing but scorched rock and ruins for miles.

What he’s seeing is an earth in the aftermath of a war against the infinite realms.

So now he has to go back to the past and fix his reckless mistake. Would it be wise to maybe see if he can find a single living soul with some info on what happened to make this ordeal a little easier? maybe, but that might involve him having to explain himself which will most likely be followed by a subsequent well deserved lecture and Bart is hoping to fix this without all that because he clearly fucked up. like, it’s very obvious. and he’s feeling very bad about it, honest.

back in the past again though, he nearly collapses, he’s seriously overdoing it at this point, afterall he was supposed to be able to recuperate once he got back. 

But he has to push through, he can’t slow down, he has to find those two guys and nab their little machine that’s apparently a doomsday device or something, he doesn’t know when they will use it, or where, so slowing down now is absolutely out of the question.

“woah hey there man, are you alright?”

he’s startled into complete stillness, and then he’s just thinking about how this guy looks like a fusion between Robin and Superboy, he can picture it perfectly in his head, fully animated dragon ball fusion style.

it’s SuperRobin, real name Ton, or maybe Kim.

getting distracted, he was asked a question, better answer.

“yeahI’mfine” he wheezes, very believable stuff.

“no you’re not, do you need a hand? sick Impulse cosplay by the way”

So, yeah, Danny pesters Bart into at least eating and drinking something, he says that if the two guys, who are now identified to Bart as the guys in white also known as the GIW or the Ghost Investigation Ward… and Bart going “oh I know a ghost! she’s really great” and Danny being pleasantly surprised.

but anyway if those guys do anything he will know, cause apparently they are very loud and quite destructive. and that’s honestly no comfort to Bart cause he knows what the future is gonna look like, but also he’s about to pass out and that would be super uncool and also make him totally useless anyway so… eating and drinking first it is.

Danny is a local, which is useful cause Bart only knew the route he needed to take for his previous mission and not really anything else regarding this place. And he tells Bart that he’s screwed with the GIW before so he knows how they operate. it fucking sucks that Bart accidentally aided apparent government bad guys… the others can never find out…

Overall, working with Danny is pretty great. For a civilian the guy is very resourceful. he’s witty, smart, funny, a lot stronger than he looks, honestly maybe the SuperRobin fusion thing he thought about before has some merit… are there any hidden clone labs around? billionaires with zero morals? yes? no? maybe?

Bart simply told Danny that he needs the machine from the white suit guys for future superhero reasons. and he’s fully intending on just handing it over to Robin, hopefully while not having to explain why he has it in the first place, and see if he can figure out how it’s gonna cause the world to end so they can make sure that can never happen.

Danny says that the machine is probably just an anti ghost weapon of some kind. Bart is skeptical, because first of all, why would anyone need anti ghost weapons when magic is already a thing and works on them just fine. Like all the superhero exorcists that Bart knows use some form of magic, well he guess anti ghost weapons would be useful for the bats, but that begs the question why is the government going around trying to shoot ghosts? and why hasn’t Bart heard of this before, cause this sounds like something Robin would enjoy telling him about.

But Bart, with significant help from Danny, manages to… confiscate (steal) the machine from the white suits.

he promises Danny he’ll visit, cause they are friends now, it’s official. And he would love to introduce him to the others as well.

Once back Bart still gets lectured of course, and Tim does reveal that yeah, the box really is just some sort of ghost trapping device, and he’s keeping it.

Bart doesn’t really care, the only thing he cares about is that everything is back to normal and he even got a new friend out of the whole ordeal.

It's then that Robin brings up a new member for Young Justice who will soon be joining them, and Bart is completely confused.

Everyone else is confused at Bart’s confusion, this was already known a week ago? and Bart figures that something did change somewhere somehow anyway, that’s fine.

Kon reminds Bart of the new guy’s callsign, apparently it’s Phantom.

Bart tries to imagine what they would look like, but at the moment he can only picture Danny in a SuperRobin outfit.oh well, hopefully this just means that Bart manages to get two friends out of this whole mess.

[prince-liest]

God, I forgot how much walking cons are, hahaha. Most of it is because it's my sworn duty to check out Every Single Booth in Artist's Alley. We got through most of it today, a couple of rows left tomorrow!

There was not as much hellaverse art as I expected!! Which: I know that it's an anime convention, but there's a ton of Baldur's Gate 3 stuff all over the place and frankly I was there for the Homestuck days, so. Y'know. Still, I did find some AMAZING charms and a couple of fantastic prints, including one absolutely fucking enormous print for Alastor's radio show that is absolutely going to be framed on my wall in my new place, ehehe.

I also happened to meet two different artists that I've participated in zines together with, which was awesome! There's a hellaverse panel tomorrow evening that I'm excited for, and we had a lot of fun with the panels/cosplay gatherings we got to see today, so I'm very satisfied. Cons feel so much more managable as a grown adult with my own income and vehicle, I'm ngl. Maybe one day I'll get back into cosplaying for them...

Anyway, now I get to read through and reply to all the awesome comments y'all left in my inbox today! q^q <3 <3

[ispreadrabieslikewildfire]

Also fun fact my grandparenst moved out of their house cuz were buying a new one and weve owned that for 50+ years so i helped clean it out and i found a ton of cool stuff!! I wanna show some cuz their kinda silly

Another fun fact MY DADS A NEEK BRO when he was younger he used to collect comics and his collection got FUCKING MASSIVE

LOOK THERE ARE ALL COMICS (were selling the ones that go for a lot since their pretty old)

Also there was this book that was old yk and it was about pretty much ternding comics n stuff at the time so i thought it was realy cool that there was manga pages ‼️ ecpecially since there wasnr much stylised manga and i tlooked a lot like this

Lastly my dad gave me these old ass sparklers (like 40 years old) and i tried them out with rat in their house it was fun!! We also cosplayed joker and akechi that day it was cool☝ i made her reenact the litc scene (i need to interavt w litc fans) but persona 5

That was me holding one (rats behind the camera idk if they want to be in a picture but thats me ig)

Anywya thats all!! Beybye

[sasslett]

Get to know me!

tagged by @elveny, let's see if I can get this done before I have to get out of bed (someone play me the world's smallest violin)

Share your wallpaper: So my PC is set to cycle through my XIV screenshot folder as its wallpaper, so here's my Chromebook (where I do all my writing) and my phone (where I do all my blogging) wallpapers instead!

A lovely comm from thetictactician on Twitter on my Chromebook!

and this amazing comm on my phone from Hollycircling on Twitter, I can't believe she indulged me and went this fucking hard but she did this. In a week.

The last song you listened to: Warrior by Beth Crowley (this is such a Jess song tbh)

Currently Reading:  Ok... so... I actually haven't read any sort of published novel since... 2011, with A Storm of Crows I think? So I used to read a shit ton, but it was 11th grade and my friends were like 'You're still reading kids books? Read something for grown ups instead' (I was rereading Percy Jackson at the time, my beloved). So I gave it a try with a 'grown up' fantasy series and... fuck GoT it was awful and I decided if that's what adult literature was like, I didn't want any part of it. So I quit reading entirely.

Last Movie: Bullet Train, months ago. I don't like watching movies - I'm huge into the behind the scenes stuff, cinematography, lighting, direction, costume design etc etc so it makes it hard to watch movies when my brain won't stop analyzing and criticizing everything (honestly modern cinema is so full of people just 'sending it' for the next big paycheck, the heart is just gone). But my husband insisted I watch this one and you know what? It was actually really well made, I was impressed.

Craving: More time. More time to finish these cosplays (Twelve have mercy the con is in a week and a half), more time to write, more time to decompress. Also craving a Chromebook/laptop/portable writing device that doesn't freeze when I type more than 5 letters in a row...

What are you wearing right now: My nightgown! (still in bed) It's got penguins on it and it's fucking adorable.

How tall are you: 5'5, idk what that is in the rest of the world. Americans, y'know.

Piercings: None, but I bought some super cute Ascian earrings last year and I've been really tempted to get my earlobes pierced.

Tattoos: None, not my thing but totally cool for everyone else!

Glasses? Contacts?: Lasik! Totally worth if you can do it.

Last drink: Choccy milk (I am an adult)

Last show: Last narrative-focused show? Uhhhhhh.... I watched the first season of The Walking Dead in 2012 and I legit can't think of anything more recent. I just don't enjoy watching things much, I'd rather be doing something, and I'm such a snob when it comes to screenwriting/characters that most things just don't appeal to me. Other than that the last non-scripted show I watched was Restaurant: Impossible.

Last thing you ate: An oatmeal chocolate chip cookie my sister made last night.

Favourite colour: Wine/burgundy! That deep, dark, blood red with just a hint of purple (in case you couldn't tell since it's the color my WoL wears in every outfit)

Current obsession: FFXIV lol

Unrelated Obsession: Unrelated? I'd say writing but that's kind of related... So, horses? I mean that's just always my obsession.

Any pets: Uh... yeah. I myself have two horses. And then... we have a shit ton of cats. So in 2020 strays kept showing up at our house and then they'd have babies, eventually we managed to catch them all and get them fixed and now some of them have chosen to move in. Shelters are full all across the state, rescues and fosters are full. So now we have... 10 cats that live inside (it's a large house) and then another six/seven that are still feral outside but fixed at least. Nothing much we can do about it, but keeping them inside keeps them safe and saves the wildlife outside, too.

Do you have a crush on anyone: An eternal crush on my husband. He's just amazing. Soft. Adorable. Handsome. Perfect. Goofy. Gorgeous. Smart. Creative. Loving. So many more words. 12 years together in May!

Favourite fictional character: Assuming player characters/WoLs don't count, Elena Fisher from Uncharted. She was the first female character I encountered who was just... normal. Not a token female, not sexualized eye candy, not walking boobs without a personality, she was... a real person, a real character in her own right, whose gender didn't change who she was. And I fell in love with that back in 2007 (I was in middle school then, so it was kind of a big deal for me). She only got better as the years went by, I still love her.

The last place you traveled: Depends on your definition of 'travel'. On a literal sense probably Portland, but since both that and Seattle are practically in my backyard I don't really count those. Other than that, Philadelphia I think, for a wedding.

TAGGING! Oh so many people should do this. Off the top of my head, if you'd like to... @ainyan, @mimble-sparklepudding, @boggleoflight, @tallbluelady, @humblemooncat, @dragoon-mid-jump, @otherworldseekers, @aethericfist and now I'm out of time and have to get ready for work so anyone else who sees this! Sorry I was tagging in a hurry, I know a lot of you are character/RP blogs so feel free to ignore.

[aprillikesthings]

HELLO EVERYONE

it is Thursday night which means it's my weekend which means IT'S SHE-RA TIME

On a related note a bunch of the stuff for my cosplay (like, clothes) gets here tomorrow and then I can put it all together and look in front of the mirror and make weird noises at myself and take terrible selfies, so stay tuned for that yeah? Yeah!

OKAY

I'M STARTING SEASON FIVE oh god

s5 ep1 Horde Prime

My semi-frequent reminder that these are a re-watch, spoilers ahoy, I make a lot of dumb jokes

I'm going to tRY to scale back on how much of the episodes I like, describe. Those last two eps of s4 I ended up just telling the whole thing, to the point of copy/pasting a shit-ton of dialogue from the damn fan transcripts.

BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH LORE AND STORY AND SHIT and I want to remember everything uggghhhhh

okay I just noticed the rating, and I can't screenshot it bc it disappears when I pause, but the show is rated for age 7 and up and says "fantasy violence, fear"

Fear??? I mean that's...not wrong. But it feels like a weird way of wording it?

This was pretty, but then the damn Horde Prime ships showed up.

you broke the sword, girly

(for good reason! but still. also the music actually starts the little rah-rah transformation tune and then cuts off)

I hate it when creepy dudes watch me via bot soldiers

I remember reading that there are parts of the intro that change multiple times across this season, and I know Daci and I just skipped the intro every time when we marathoned this season back in 2020, so I'm watching them all this time, and

O_O

And she's not She-Ra! Just Adora!

the shards of Narsil....wait wrong fantasy story

Ohhhh they're all hiding under some kind of invisibility/protection shield constantly maintained by sorcerers. That makes sense.

ALSO I remember noticing this the first time, but you can tell they got a higher budget this season.

ugggh let it go

Everyone else says the same thing lol (along with "literally we can't because we don't have She-Ra anymore")

Adora's obviously still engaging in her self-sacrificial bullshit and Perfuma's like "no u gotta take ppl with u" but then

NOT. HELPING.

I mean Glimmer's room on the ship is nice (if sterile and too brightly-lit) but oof

oh, are you also lonely? do you also long for someone at least a little familiar? Hm????

;_;

Horde Prime just like "yo my bro hated your guts when I showed up lol did u know that"

(referring to the Heart of Etheria) yeah sweetie that's not gonna save your ass for long

He's so fucking creepy!!

Also I know they were inspired by megachurches and conservative Christian stuff when making Horde Prime's ship, but the music here even sounds kind of like an organ!

(...which is funny when you remember that megachurches usually have, like, rock bands)

Stop doing your self-sacrificial bullshit....without us!!

Does anyone else always wonder what they use for bathrooms?? The ones in the Fright Zone didn't have obvious restrooms either. Anyway.

So I know people were shipping Glitra for obvious reasons before this season but this whole storyline was just fucking great on that front lol

But also look at how fucking SMUG she is!

bahaha the "how's it going, Princess?" line is said almost as unnecessarily sexy as the "hey, Adora" thing

HAH. Glimmer is RIGHT.

Catra: nah man I'mma kick my ass to the top like I did last time Glimmer: u will get crushed like a BUG you DIPSHIT Clones: COME TO DINNER

oh sure, NOW you're looking at her for sympathy pfft

Clone: PRAISE THE LORD Everyone else: oh please shut the fuck up

("April aren't yOU Christian" yes but like, not that kind.)

Who else read A Wrinkle in Time? Remember that meal they had on Camazotz where everything tasted like sand to Meg because she was the only one who was completely resistant to the hypnotism bullshit IT did? Anyway that's what I'm reminded of.

the little she-ra doll :(

Even Catra's not thrilled to see this. (That or she saw Scorpia fighting and feels guilty)

When says "Adora," Catra scratches the table

GLIMMER GOD DAMMIT (but also look at poor Catra's face)

OH RIGHT because if he knows this he has no reason to keep Catra around.

But she can't stop looking at the screen where Adora just was ahahah

YOU COULDN'T DO IT ALONE BEFORE

lol Bow says it. "You're not alone. You've never been." But he's nicer about it than me.

Catra: oooh, princesses and their *~feelings~* Horde Prime: lol you're not any better

I am actively resisting the urge to make a BBC Sherlock reference. IYKYK.

"Adora means something to you." 👀

His little speech about "you Etherians are all alike, such strong connections to each other...it's what makes you weak," is such a great way of contrasting him to the actual Good Guys. Empathy and compassion, caring for others--those aren't weaknesses!

But if your goal is ruthlessly destroying everything in the universe for your own power, then yeah, they would be.

And of course, Catra does think her connections to others is what makes her weak, at this point in the story.

augh

"Now that I know about She-Ra and the weapon, what purpose do I have for you? Your little ploy of parsing out information like a bartering chip was never going to last long out here... I see all. I know all. But fear not. I have great plans for you. Every part of the machine is of value. Even you...little sister."

AAUGH

(and that's why the rating for this show warns for "fear" lol)

And then Adora has one of her weird dreams about She-Ra and shattering the sword but while awake, and clearly it pains her--and then she passes out, end of episode.

Anyway I managed to make it all fit in one post but only barely, I had to go back and delete a few, lol

TBH I should probably just assume these are all gonna be two-parters, there's so much plot.

Sparrow Oak Garcia Cosplay Part 11

Shirt So my Amazon refund was supposed to happen on the 26th. That's what the website had been telling me since my microwave made it's way back. Then yesterday...on the 26th, I checked and it was like "Your refund will happen on the 29th." So I got frustrated and looked into just buying the pattern anyway. Turns out the shipping made it like twice the cost unless I bought 35 dollars worth of stuff so I said, fuck it, and drove to my local fabric store, found the pattern, and bought it for 40% off. So...

Ta-da! We're doing the B version because if I can put a hood on something, I'm gonna put a hood on something. I also went ahead and traced and cut out the pattern.

While doing this I was nervous, because I wanted to make a slight alteration to the bottom hem on the sides (I want to put little slits in) and I was like...what if I have to add extra length on the bottom? Will I still have enough yardage? But after tracing it out, I was hit with the realization that this pattern is for masc frames that are significantly taller than me, so...I'm probably actually going to shorten it (or maybe not. I'll throw it up on the dress form and see what I think). But yeah, slits on the side are gonna be fine.

Pants Meanwhile in pants land, I've managed to complete another panel.

And I've kept embroidering. I'm not done yet, but I'm really loving how it's coming out.

Also now that I've cut out the shirt pieces I have a ton of tracing paper scraps that I'll probably use for future embroidery since most of this fabric is too dark for the iron on to really work. But now it's time to set out another panel! Two down, and two to go!

Accessories I've been keeping up progress at the Henry bracelet and I love it so much. I think I'm past the halfway point, probably.

Look at those little leaves! So cute!

Bonus: I dunno, if you feel like you can guess which fanartist was my primary inspo for this cosplay you can earn like... twenty seven awesome points from the association for my subjective opinion.

Sparrow Cosplay: Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

[lasthumaninwales]

Saw a video today about someone who gave out bracelets at their first pride and people kept trying to pay them even though they were gifts, and between that and people taking about trading bracelets at Käärijä gigs, I kind of miss making things to give out to people at conventions.

Obviously like, I had a lot more free time and spare money back then, and I went to more meet ups at cons because you know, I was in my 20s and didn't feel ridiculously too old. But it was fun, you know?

When I was in the Welcome to Night Vale fandom I made "Glow Cloud" pendants out of glow in the dark polymer clay and handed them out to people. I made badges that said "This is my Cecil Palmer cosplay" and gave those out even though I was actually dressed as Bill Cipher at the time*.

In the Star Wars (or specifically Kylux) fandom I made a fuck ton of badges and gave them out - ones that said "The Backup Dancers of Ren", ones with pictures of Kylo that said "punk ass bitch", ones with pictures of Hux that said "ginger minx", ones that said "Kylux Trash"...

I made hexagonal First Order logo cookies.

I made A LOT of cookies over the years actually. Kaiju ones as Newt Geiszler, umbrellas and wizard hats as Taako from The Adventure Zone... I think one time I brought cupcakes with "gold" on them as Thorin Oakenshield.

I also made like, ones with umbrellas and question marks on them when I was Oswald Cobblepot but it turns out people at LFCC are not as keen to take food off strangers as the ones at MCM. Fuck, at MCM when I was handing out those First Order cookies I got mobbed, and one lady dressed as Kylo sent her adorable little daughter (dressed as Rey) to get a cookie off me... I was Hux at the time.

Even paper stuff - I gave out Fantasy Costco coupons as Garfield the Deals Warlock, I gave out prophecies as Aziraphale, gave out cards with riddles on them as The Riddler - or stuff I didn't make - I left someone a big plastic jewel on their table (along with you know, the actual money) when I bought a holographic sticker off them dressed as Taako...

Idk I just like giving people gifts.

*(When I did this I did so by leaning over a railing and yelling to a group of WTNV cosplayers on the other side "Night Vale people! Send over a representative, I have gifts!" Soneone came and took the bag from me, puzzled, and a few moments later two other people ran over to the railing and thanked me profusely - one gave me a little laminated paper and safety pin Night Vale badge off their own costume and I kept it for years)

Tag 10 People You Want to Get to Know Better

Relationship status: Extremely divorced. Prowl levels of divorced. Four times! Multiple genders! Still hopeful though!  I would like to be in a relationship but probably nobody who is not a quadruped should live in the same house with me; while the other parties involved definitely had contributing issues and one was an honest-to-G-d abuser, I’m the only one who’s done it 4 times.

Favourite colour: This varies; it’s usually pink, but can also be purple and various shades of light blue, teal or peach.  There are shades of yellow and yellowish green that are deeply, almost physically unpleasant and painful for me to look at. I’m very autistic that way.

I always get the highest scores possible on those colour sensitivity tests, and was almost broken as a kid by my mother telling me I had to match colours because to my eyes almost nothing matched so I just wore whatever I personally thought looked good.  Turns out everyone other than my mother thought so too. I was really good at “matching blacks” during my goth stage.

Something I want right now: universal basic income and to quit my job so I can write and dance and learn how to draw again. Song stuck in my head: Oh No!  by Marina and the Diamonds (it’s one of my Starscream songs)

Three favourite foods: My three easiest to obtain favourites are: 1. Rib eye steak, particularly the outer part, rare but not cold. 2. Salmon and asparagus with brown rice farina and cheese. 3. Haagen-Dazs butter pecan ice cream. I’m autistic.  Other brands are close, but for me close but not quite as good is “nasty” not “acceptable”‘ -- if the brand isn’t available, I’ll get some other gluten free flavour.  Too close is deeply disappointing. Something that doesn’t sound awful can only be mildly disappointing and might be good.

Last song I listened to: “You Better You Bet” by the Who.  I always imagine Grimlock singing this to Howlback.

“I don’t really mind how much you love me--oooh, a little is all right When you say, come over and spend the night, tonight!”

(He is demiro, she is aro. She loves him to pieces, but despite the fact that they are so hot for each other they fuck rather than hug hello, she has never been In Love in her life and is grateful for that because she thinks being In Love makes people of every species act crazy AF.)

Last thing I googled: 1960s brutalist jewellery. That’s what @legendtrainer, who tagged me, googled last, and I, who have only ever heard “brutialist” applied to architecture, wondered what the fuck that was. It turns out that I own a fuck ton of it, though it’s all from the 70s and early 80s. I bought it when I wanted to cosplay my Star Trek: TOS OCs.  I thought it would look like Klingon or Vulcan stuff. I wonder if the ones I haven’t taken apart and strung together with other things are worth anything.

Dream trip: I want to go back to Japan with more time and a lot more money.

Aside from that, though, in terms of practical dreams:  I was supposed to go to TF-Con LA but my brother got cancer and I bought him some of his meds while waiting for his coverage to kick in because, you know, I don’t want him to die. And his special food that insurances just don’t cover.

Don’t live in America.  We’re a beautiful country but we’re a cruel one.

No pressure tags (seriously, NO PRESSURE): @bitegore (who I know very well but not about this kinda thing); @byzantienne (who I was very close to for years but rarely see now because she is Married and writing really good books and it’s Ninety-Three Thylacine, I know animals are weird choices but when have I ever not been weird); @stuffbyshelby2; @guesso13; @inktheblot (who I wanted to be friends with for years because of the videos and finally met in TF-land); @satellitesoundwave;  @shychangling; JD (you keep changing blog titles); @jariktig; @cybervillainess.

Wrestling Obsessives - Week #2: AJPW Real World Tag League 1996 Final Match - Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs. Mitsuharu Misawa & Jun Akiyama - December 6th, 1996 & Roddy Piper Vs Bret Hart Wrestlemania VIII Intercontinental Championship Match

AJPW Real World Tag League 1996 Final Match - Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs. Mitsuharu Misawa & Jun Akiyama - December 6th, 1996:

To keep things short and simple, I will just say that this match is fucking awesome. Within this match there are four figures that are considered legends and the concept of Puro wrestling; and though I know them by name, I’m not gonna act like I’ve watched a shit ton of matches that feature them. After watching this match, I fully understand why Eddie Kingston does so much Puro cosplay. first of all the atmosphere is fucking electric, as they ran out to see each of their names the crowd fucking explodes and you get a sense that these guys are big fucking deals, and that they already know something crazy is about to come out from this match.  the piecing in this match is really good. You get the sense that everyone is doing their best to beat the shit out of each other and try to get a pin. It emphasizes the importance of this tournament and the importance of the smash. The match itself feels cinematic, every move, feel so precise, but somehow it doesn’t feel fake or rehearsed. The selling this matches fucking great especially from Kawada, who is my personal stand out for this match. I loved that chop and kick spot. Holy Demon Army as a unit really just impressed me; even as heels, you can tell that the crowd is behind them as well. Misawa and Akiyama also kill it in their own right. Their tandem offense and athleticism cannot be praised enough. The lil suplex train they did went so hard. The selling in this match was fucking great as well. Everyone looked like they got murdered at some point. The match also felt like a great example of organized chaos. Everything felt so messy and so nasty while also having an amazing sense of direction. I really enjoyed this match and it 100% hooked me into looking up more and more Puro matches.

Roddy Piper Vs Bret Hart Wrestlemania VIII Intercontinental Championship Match:

This match is a great example of telling a simple story through the physical act of wrestling; even without the promo, even without the build, you understand what is happening and you get the weight of the conflict between these two men. It’s a surprisingly short match that emphasizes the morality of Piper; you’re constantly on edge and wondering “When is he gonna snap?” “When is he gonna boil over?” Including the promo in this review, I want to just talk about how much I really fucking love Rowdy Roddy Piper, especially in the context of this promo. To me, Piper was never like this extremely exaggerated crazy character. Of course he’s doing the classic yelling into the camera amped up energy shit but he was never quirky or weird. He’s just a fucking dick, an asshole, a bully; throughout their conversation, he’s just being an annoying prick, but using the excuse of “Oh, I’m just having fun…” to escape any potential repercussions. Bret is just a killer like usual. This matches honestly not too flashy, some fun holds and locks. The real meat and potatoes are the little moments where your like “alright Piper is gonna do some fuck-shit..” and he just doesn’t. You get to the iconic moment of Piper holding the bell and wondering what he should do, he drops it and puts on the sleeper. He’s gonna win clean, until Bret out-wrestles him and pins him. You get a clean win and the potential rebuilding of the respect these two had for each other. Really good stuff.

another fanime for the books! the weekend isn’t over, but i most likely won’t be going tomorrow, so im gonna grieve it like it’s over right now even if i do end up going lol. had a ton of fun even if my wallet hates me for buying so much stuff :’D

yesterday we got there kinda late, around 11:30 maybe. registered and then went to get food since we only wanted to check out the artist alley and dealer hall but they weren’t open until 2. so we got tacos and then walked to get some coffee and matcha at academic. artist alley was cool, it was like wading through treacle as always but snagged some really awesome art!

i ended up seeing a print and regretting not buying it, then deciding to walk all the way around the whole thing again to find it and that taking forever. when i finally found it there was a girl there talking to the artist, and eventually she moved aside to let me place my order. she noticed my bag (i wore a clear bag &put some pcs in it) and recognized the kyu pc i’d brought where he’s eating in n out and wearing the paper hat lmao. she was like “IS THAT…….” and it turns out we both love suju TT-TT and 2nd gen groups in general. we fangirled together over snsd a little bit too lol. tbh i get a little nervous showing my suju stuff in public just bc kpop stans are so vicious online. but i was happy to make another 2nd gen friend :))) anyway, besides the print i also got a couple of gifts for my siblings.

then we left and got food again bc we were hungry already. and then returned for dealers hall!

dealers hall was super tame since it was day 1. bart had a booth so we got some merch and freebies including a cute station stamp! also found survive said the prophet’s merch booth n bought a sick ass looking shirt. tbh i was amazed fanime was able to pull them, they’re super good. as for the rest of the hall, i managed to control myself for the most part even tho there was sooo much stuff. after wandering all the aisles we went home, &i managed to squeeze in the gym after all of that.

day2! we got there hella early, like 930? and went to academic again for coffee. then we returned to the artist alley to beat the crowd, and somehow i ended up buying EVEN MORE. a couple more prints, a few mini prints and some jjk stickers. then we went to the car to put our prints away but decided we were already hungry even tho we both ate before leaving home. after lunch we went to this kpop random dance thing, which was fun but i didn’t recognize any of the new gen stuff… after that, we went to one panel about detective conan and another one about jpop oricon hits of the 2000s. soo much nostalgia from that one! i forgot about music i used to listen to like morning musume and arashi and more. and old dramas like hanayoridango. middle school me was very satisfied.

after that we checked out a car hall, got some dinner and snacks, then went to see survive said the prophet! they put on a fucking show. soo good. we were legit lucky that that was just included with our ticket, like wtf. so worth it! &really glad i brought earplugs, bc rock music is louddddd.

after the show we went to one of the dance halls and just spent some time dancing around. a girl gave me a kandi matching my haikyuu hinata cosplay, which was such a sweet experience. i’ve never been to a rave so i’ve never received kandi before! she even gave me a hug lol. maybe that’s standard practice but i thought it was so cute and kind!

then we went home. i made a sandwich bc i didn’t realize how little i’d eaten all day. &now im exhausted afffffff so goodnight!

It's hmm. Kind of a weird advice I'm about to give but. I'd recommend trying cosplay. The way I got over feeling "overwhelmed" by makeup was by putting a fuck ton of it while doing some cosplay. It felt like a lot but idk, I think because I was like "this is for a costume" it was ok, maybe slightly uncomfortable, but way less than if I had put that amount of makeup only to go about my day. After a little while of trying out cosplay, I began to put a bit of makeup in my daily life and it felt just fine, because I had wear much more stuff before, so then again, it felt fine.

Also, I think learning makeup through cosplay is great because you'll find tons of tutorial on how to do this look or that look, with usually a good amount of detail and cosplay allows you to try things out, nobody's gonna bat an eye at you for some bold makeup choice or a scuffed eyeliner, your costume will be the center of attention, not your face. And after you learn and master a few looks, you'll usually have a pretty good idea of how to do a casual everyday look.

The only big downside is that cosplay's fucking expensive, but you can manage to do stuff with just a bunch of products and you don't have to aim for a big con, you can just try it out for halloween or the carnival or whatever small occasion you can find that can make your brain go "that's a special occasion, this is part of the thing", and like a stray cat you slowly lure into your house, slowly convince your brain that makeup is fine actually.

miss charlotte ik this isn't book related but you're really cool and knowledgeable about a bunch of stuff so

how do I become a makeup person when its sensory hell :<<< I really wanna do cool goth looks and hide my rosacea but I can Feel It. it's There 👁️👁️

ougggh the only makeup i ever do is eyeliner sometimes. i need to get more into it >-< its just So Much to take in lol. if anyone has any tips for little old us they would be appreciated!

Starring Role!Patrick (AU??????)

@eldritch-hall-asylum, please reblog and add stuff if you feel so inclined

I'm a big ol' Patrick simp, and I love this idea. It lives rent-free in my head. Also, Patrick needs more love.

I, personally, see him in a murder-type film/TV series (totally not because I live off the idea of Patrick covered in blood, of course not, haha 😅😅😳), but if you see him in another type, please let me know!!

Going off from the point above, I think that a nonchalant, sort of flirtatious, gruff and standoffish murderer/serial killer would be an amazing role for him. It's such a different character for him to play, because "He’s never really been much bigger than 'eccentric/nerdy best friend', 'neighbour the kids love', 'step-dad', or 'weird uncle'" (ref.).

When he first auditioned for the starring role, he felt so completely out of place; usually, he auditions for smaller parts, but, hey, his agent suggested it, and a lot of his family encouraged it, so fuck it, he auditioned.

When his agent called again to say that he got offered the role, he took it almost immediately.

His brain was mush as he came off the phone, I mean, starring role? Him? No way.

—

He'd be absolutely amazing during filming! He'd get along well with the other actors, constantly calling them "Mija"/"Mijo" (Spanish term for endearment, it's a headcanons of mine) between scenes and just being an absolute wonder to work with.

After whatever he's in comes out, he'd definitely watch it with the rest of eldritch hall (assuming there's not an age limit...). He'd probably get tons of compliments from people and he'd just be all gushy lol.

Also, you know those QnA things (like, 'The cast of [name] answer questions playing with cats' or 'Patrick Torres-Moran from [name] answers fan questions from the web', stuff like that.), he'd definitely do those!

And the interview show with Charles!

And absolutely, like you've said (here), he'd relish in all the cosplays, edits, thirst traps, TikToks, fanfics, artwork, and more.

Please if you have information on starring role!Patrick, share it!

I need sleep

Long story short

Thursday: I get the news that the monthly event where I sell my art at will be on that next Sunday. Yep, they always tell us when it'll be with little to no time to get our products ready for it. Fuck you if you had other plans for that Sunday. So I spent Thursday only preparing my stuff to leave it ready to just roll out with the bags and go to the event. BECAUSE I WON'T HAVE ANY TIME FOR IT THE NEXT DAYS.

Friday: My friend comes over in order to fix my hair, which has just spent months unable to comb it so it's incredibly tangled to the point a finger couldn't pass through the hair mass. Mika is an angel and I love her. We also watched football together as she doesn't have a TV at home and wasn't able to watch the World Cup these days. Then I went to her house to sleep over so she could help me with my wig the next morning and we could go together to the Power-Kon. Because yes, I had planned to go to an anime/manga/games convention this weekend but remember how it's "fuck you if you had plans" and all? Only Saturday at Power-Kon now, gotta be at the Guararapes event on Sunday.

Saturday: Mika and I go to Power-Kon. She went as a maid and I went as a "casual version" of Megaman Zero. Casual because this Cosplay has been incomplete without the armor parts since Idek how many years ago when I started this project. It's a success anyway, tons of people recognized the character, I'll post pics here later at some point.

Still Saturday: What even is it to take a bus during weekends? There was no bus for me to go back home. I went back to sleep at Mika's.

Sunday: I took a shower, ate breakfast and got a motorcycle Uber to go back home (carrying Zero's Z-Saber, what a ride XD), grabbed the bags and went straight to the bus stop to go to the monthly Guararapes event. Again, what even is it to take a bus on weekends again...? I got there real late and thank Heavens that the guy who sells mangas, comics and geek/nerd magazines who's always by my side there placed some of his products on my table for the organizers to not complain that there was an empty table at the beginning of the event, until I finally arrived and could place my actual stuff there. Bless Anderson.

Still Sunday: I traded buttons for stickers and mangas with Anderson. I came back home with over 10 new stickers and 5 InuYasha mangas in great condition. HECK YES. Then I take the bus back home.

Monday: "I need to get back to drawing commissions..." But ofc my body refuses. I'm going back to bed until the next Brazilian football match later in the end of our afternoon here.
