This here is the link for my ko-fi page! I'm currently in a bit of a rut right now financially and decided to make this until I'm able to get back on my feet. I have a lot of cosplans and convention goals for this year and next but I'm afraid I won't be able to meet these goals. Every donation goes towards cosplans, hotel, and travel costs. It would mean the world to me! Cosplay is a huge coping outlet for me when it comes to my depression and anxiety. I also LOVE doing it just for the sake of having fun. However my main reason for loving and wanting to cosplay is to make the kids I see at conventions happy by making their favorite characters come to life. Thank you so much!! 💜

I fear I shall not be at PARF today.  Instead, I will be at the Pittsburgh Ren Fest for the first time.  The Crimson Pirates are performing there this weekend, you see, and I do so love that group.  If by some insane coincidence any followers are here as well, you can find me at any and all Crimson Pirate shows, decked out in the black and red style of the band, complete with an eyepatch.

It remains to be seen whether this will feel like cheating on a conscious lover.

Weekend Picks: Last Chance For Winter At Dilworth Park, Cinderella On Stage, NHL Stadium Series And More

It’s another can’t-miss weekend in Philadelphia full of great events, including the end of winter — sort of.

The winter attractions next to City Hall — collectively known as Winter at Dilworth Park — wrap up for the season on Sunday. Don’t miss one last chance to embrace the season at the ice rink, cabin and Wintergarden.

Speaking of wintry things, the Coors Light NHL Stadium Series welcomes the “Battle for Pennsylvania” on Saturday for a very special game outdoors at Lincoln Financial Field as the Philadelphia Flyers try to defeat the intrastate rival Pittsburgh Penguins.

On the arts scene, Broadway Philadelphia puts a modern twist on Cinderella at the Academy of Music, local acts celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Things Fall Apart album by The Roots at World Cafe Live, the Barnes Foundation opens an exhibit of early photography and The African American Museum in Philadelphia closes its exhibition about cotton and slavery.

Select concerts this weekend — including James Blake, Flogging Molly and Scott Bradlee’s Modern Jukebox — are part of the Visit Philly Live Nation Hotel Package, a stellar hotel package that includes up to $230 in show-enhancing perks, including free hotel and concert parking, complimentary food and drinks during the show and other bonuses.

And lastly, don’t miss a chance to turn a fun weekend into a sleepover. Book the Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package for a winter weekend getaway featuring up to $218 in free perks.

Had a super amazing time with starry-eyedandstormy and Raka at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival a couple weeks ago during their closing weekend~

[destrkk]

Ren fest was a blast! I didn’t completely sweat my balls off although it was super hot but I got some new ideas to fix my costume (yay) super excited for next year

[parf-fan]

When I go to the New Jersey Ren Faire, my route takes me right behind PARF.

It has always felt to me like cheating on a lover who is in a coma.
