Cosplay thoughts under the cut.

My fifth cosplay in uhhh three(?) years, having only picked up a sewing machine in 2022. But hell, this the one I'm most proud of.

I had to rush making this one (as I do all my cosplays), but my work schedule meant the crunch was particularly bad this time, and there are still plenty of bits that I haven't finished. Note to self: don't ever attempt a costume this complex in 10 days again.

My to-do list looks something like:

Remake the armour on her arms (they kept getting ripped off in the crowds 😔)

Add more trim to the bolero, add hooks & eyes to keep it attached to the bodice

Make accessories (dragonstone, mini dragon!Rafal, pact ring)

Remake the collar (not at 1 a.m. the night before because I forgot about it, whoops)

Repaint and weather the armour so the details are more visible (using proper paint and primer this time, instead of PVA glue and "direct to metal" spray paint like an idiot)

Weather and add "dirt" to the battle-damaged skirts

Finish Represailles' blade and actually make the shaft. Once I move house I'll have a bit more space to work in, and I can start sanding/mayyyybe dremel it if the new place has a garden

Style wig with heat this time

Buy a mannequin so I can make alterations without accidentally sewing things to my own body 😭

That being said, for a boned corset, the bodice was actually super comfortable and kept everything in really well. I could wear it the whole day (and even run in it!) and it held up with zero discomfort or slippage.

If I can get it all sorted in time, with a bit of luck I'm hoping to enter her into the showcase at MCM/EGX this autumn...

Despite all the flaws, I'm super psyched to see how it came out, and the photographer did a great job! He made me feel like a million dollars (although the wind made it difficult to shoot and my feet were killing me the whole time, haha). Tbh I can't recommend him highly enough.

Roll on October!

HHH HII I don't always put my cosplay shit on tumblr because it's slightly scawy but I went to mcm london today, had a great time, have a big boost of confidence, so here's some Silly Hotel Pictures (I have actual Shoot Pictures that I will probably show another time)

I am very proud of this cosplay, all of it is handmade

mmkay cool bg3 stuff that has happened to me over the past year!

met mr neil newbon himself at birmingham mcm! extremely cool and chill dude and i was not at all losing my entire mind throughout :') very proud of myself for not just freezing up when he asked if I'd like a hug (can confirm that he gives good hugs)

went to the bg3 concert! And it was so wild because I had missed out on the tickets months ago so I kinda gave up on going but 3 days before the event, I checked the website on a whim and there was ONE!!! TICKET!!! up on sale. Absolutely fantastic music and they played legacy of bhaal which is one of my fav tracks from the game!

went to the bg3 BAFTA masterclass which was so so good as both a huge fan and a game dev. I learnt a lot, drank too much champagne, and got to speak to swen vincke, dave jones, and neil newbon again :D I also gifted neil a cross-stitch I made that's inspired by his bg3 char bow'ee and, ofc, astarion.

I was gifted a signing for my birthday and I managed to catch it live on stream! and this is why my tumblr name is flushwithdarlings c:

The rotating sticker display was super last minute, but it worked so well! It's literally just some grid cubes with a lazy susan underneath :'D This is from London MCM, gonna be heading to Birmingham MCM in just a couple of weeks, too! 🌸

Cosplay reveal!

I've been wanting to make a Plague Ghost costume for a while now and MCM was the perfect excuse. It was a very spontaneous decision to go with Jean's so I only had one weekend to make it. I'm very happy with how it turned out, especially after Martha said it's almost perfect and pointed out that the belt looks just like the original (I remade that bloody thing 4 times because I couldn’t get it right but her kind words absolutely made all the frustration worth it).

I can't wait to wear it to West Horsley Place one day. It's such a comfy costume and considering that it is only the second cosplay I've ever made, I'm pretty proud of myself.

Left photo is me in my Jolyne Kujo cosplay at MCM London in May 2022, which was one that I bought.

Right photo is me in my Jolyne Kujo cosplay from today in my office, which was one I completely made from scratch.

Considering I've only been learning to sew for less than a year, I am extremely proud of my skills and my progress!!!

Can't wait to bring Jolyne to a con sometime 💙💚

[oukabarsburgblr]

Aren't you the one that write, Remarried Empress in Wattpad? LMAO

Anyway-

Spm mcm mne bahhh, bape A?

*Just realize I can be someone makcik, //ugly sobbed*

MY HEART DROPPED WHEN I READ THIS💀

Idk whether to feel proud of that ff RAHHHHH MY PAST KEEPS COMING BACK TO ME

SPM AKU OKAY WEH DAPAT STRAIGHT A🥹🤞🏼 hahahahah i always assumed my readers are around my age

[crayonurchin]

It's been a long time since i felt like im going nowhere in life, but boy howdy today sure has those vibes

Is my art and writing even good? Why wont publishers take me, i know I'd work hard, and if anyone bought commissions I'd make them so pretty. I can't do a 9-5 it's too much on my psyche but am i just being entitled?

Mcm London comiccon didnt approve my October application. Do people not like my soap? Nobody buys it on my shop. Why do i keep investing in it.

Am i ever going to feel human around other people? Even with other neurodiverse folk i feel to alien to be really present.

C-ptsd. It sucks. Why did adult men hurt me so many times as a child.

I want to be an OCD warrior, but lately i just feel tired. OCD is a fire that won't stop burning and I'm out of water to douse it.

Im 28. I live with my parents and dont see myself independent any time soon. I think i want a partner but what if im lithromantic? Doomed to yearn but unable to ever have without hurting others? Is it actually gender ocd or am i in denial? I think i want kids but adoption has so many ways to hurt families and what if i hurt the kid with my own bullshit?

Im trying to stay realisticly positive but today is not a strong day for me.

I am proud of my efforts but im greedy and wish i had more to show for it.

So... Guess who's on the official photo Instagram post from MCM London ?

THIS GAL !! And my dear friend @greetingsprogramms cosplaying as Astrid !

THIS IS CRAZY GUYS

Also behind us a lovely Jester cosplayer who we met after, and who had the most amazing knitted Jester tights !!! (If anyone knows her here on Tumblr let me know please)

I think this photo was taken when Liam asked for anyone in the room who was cosplaying to please stand up, and we cheered like there was no tomorrow (obvious !)

I think it's a not very flatering photo of me but it does show my embroidered shirt - which i'm very proud of - quite well, so...

Another Chainsaw Man piece I did for MCM- this time I took a shot at Makima! Might have bitten off more than I could chew with the perspective, but I'm still proud of how the overall picture came out!

[its-elvie-innit]

Dude can I just say I'm literally astounded and so so proud of quackitys evolution as a content creator... I've been a fan since his reddit era at least, my first twitch account was made to watch him specifically, which left is a part of my 2018 dialect. I have emails from his twitch notifications during mcm still in my inbox, like, this dude was one of my favorite creators from when he was MY AGE!!!! and now I've seen him boom in popularity for years and be a real community tie for so many awesome parts of the internet, a key streamer in a huge part of my fandom expression for a fucking astounding amount of time. He's a brilliant, hard working guy, who beats bad creator stereotypes and is a stand-up role model for the fans that watch him. I've seen him go from a 500k subscriber youtube channel to MEETING with the head honcho of twitch and like. All I can say is I'm proud. I'm proud of the community, and I'm proud of the guy who made it.
