SOOT SPRITE IS DONE \(o<_o\ )

im so nervous to share the whole final product/costume fully worn soon, but i am really happy with how they turned out and it was fun making one million billion soot sprites over the past few weeks

[alchemiclee]

i'm done with the con! I met the voice of cyno as cyno and told him some dumb jokes because i'm a nerd lmao. also made him this cool art and printed it out and gave it to him and he seemed super excited about it! I think he liked it 😆 Alejandro is pretty cool and super nice. ended up buying 2 prints to be signed because I couldn't choose between the quintet and cynonaricollei family. I also bought way too many things.....whoops. (if you want to see the stuff I bought yell at me and i'll reblog this and post them for you.) so many people said they like my coslay and like 10 people asked for a pic and it. i'm exhausted. that was A Lot. I need to sleep for a month now

[acasternaut]

dude I love ur cosplay!! it's so cool and im a bit jealous

[thatlesbiancrow]

I'm also a cis girl that feels very bad when seeing a mustache growing. I don't care about societal standards (I rarely shave my legs, wear anything from feminine to masculine, really don't feel pressures), but whenever I start seeing a mustache growing on my face, I feel like it's not me. I associate it with men. And if I don't shave it off, I feel bad inside.

yeah.. like i couldn't care less about my leg hair or armpit hair, but the mustache does stir insecurity...

im trying to break myself out of being insecure, but it hasn't been successful :/

took some quick photos in my peri cosplay‼️ it isn’t perfect and i kinda messed up the make up but honestly im pretty proud of how this all came out since i had some pretty limited materials JDGSUSNSKS i’ll post more pics next time i get into it and hopefully get some better ones 🎀🎀🎀

[ashyslashyy]

okay hi now that i am rested i need to talk about my edtm experience

main thing to know is that i wore my ash cosplay & brought my s-mart bag AND my handmade necronomicon that im super proud of. and also i know all the songs very well so i was mouthing along to pretty much every song & some of the dialogue. just in general very excited to be there

at the merch table i showed them the book and was like "yeah i think itd be cool to have the cast sign it ^_^" and one of the people running the table brought it back stage and they all signed it!!!! woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

we sat in the very front row and at the beginning of the show the director talked to everybody and said "you guys in the first few rows are gonna get sprayed with a lot of blood. Especially you" and he pointed right at me😭

the show itself was fucking incredible it was so so funny and there were some changes from the other versions ive seen (some updates to the lyrics but also. When they brought out a fucking skeleton in a wig for annies dad i lost it)

while ash was fighting all the deadites there were two people on the floor in front of the stage with these things⬇️

which were full of blood and they would spray either side of the audience depending on what was happening and the person on our side just kept looking directly at me and then spraying me in the face😭like i swear at least a third of the blood they sprayed was just on me it was fucking awesome

after the show one of the members of the band got the cast together so they could take pictures with me!!!! oh my fucking god!!!! they were all so nice and when we were talking before the pictures the actor who played ash walked up to me with the chainsaw prop from the show and was like "youll probably be needing this" and i got to wear it in the picture!!! what!!!!! and the picture was on stage in front of the big ass s-mart sign!!!!!!! oh my god they were all so nice it was so great. i told the actor who played scott that i loved his death scene and it was hilarious and he said "which one"😭and apparently they all saw me mouthing along the lyrics and were happy that i was so excited😁😁yayyyyy

overall. holy shit i cant believe all that happened. im so happy right now that couldnt possibly have gone any better. this feels like im the protagonist of one of those "i got sold to one direction" fanfics. also i got this shirt & i had it in my lap so it got covered in blood

despite feeling a little gloomy today, I am still excited to share stuff about the con with you guys :D I am working up the courage to film myself again, hopefully it wont be as awkward because I have my friend with me there!

[velvetvexations]

i feel really selfish saying this, but i really wish there were more general trans movies with characters who aren't trans women. like, i'm really glad that they're there and there should be more, but on the other hand, its kinda all thats there? obviously there ARE movies like this, but 9 times out of 10 when there's a recommendation to go see a trans movie, its either a trans women or a character heavily implied to be a trans women there. and i'm really glad those movies are there! but i'd just wish there could be a big discussion about movie and there would be a trans man or a nonbinary person representing the community.

(this also goes for other types of media too)

i sent an ask complaining about how the majority of trans movies that the community talks mainly show trans women and i wanna take that back cause a lot of those media are shitty towards trans women. i dont think its fair to complain about that when those media are awful towards trans women. i apologize

anon of the trans ppl in media asks you can publish them! i retracted it cause im kinda emotional rn and i couldn't really remember if i was being fair or shitty

I think what you're forgetting, anon, is that while trans women are depicted badly in a lot of places - less so over the years, people mainly reference things from the previous century - there's still way more positive transfem rep than there is of anything for transmascs, and that doesn't mean transfems have it better, but as always hyper-visibility and invisibility are two sides of the same coin. It's okay for invisibility to not feel good. There should indeed be more media about transmascs.

Now I'm finally doing that. This year I made my first ever hand sewn cosplay. There are definitely mistakes, but it's pretty sturdy and I can't express the sheer sense of pride I got from wearing something I sewed myself. There are some things I wanna tweak on it, like I must have made a mistake when measuring the waistband because it's WAY too thick. But it's functional, it's accurate, and it even has a zipper! It was expensive because of course for my first ever sewing project I picked a character with a pleated skirt (you need 3x your waist in fabric and im fat which definitely adds up lmao, plus i got the fabric custom printed from a print-on-demand company) and the pleats took forever to do. But I'm so so so proud of it. I'm looking into armor crafting with EVA foam for a future cosplay, and it's intimidating but I'm really excited at the idea of working with it. I've seen so many amazing armor sets and props made with EVA foam and I can't wait to make my own. I'm thinking I'm gonna cosplay Maple from BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense.. Then again, that might be jumping off straight into the deep end again like I did for the last cosplay since she has a GIANT shield. At least I'm sticking to her main outfit, not the one with giant angel wings lmao. I may have watched several videos on wing crafting but even I'm not brazen (or stupid) enough to try making those for only my second real cosplay lmao. Anyway this has been your regularly unscheduled cosplay info dump. Thank you for tuning in, we'll see you next time!

Ambitious! I hope it all turns out great, it sounds like a lot of big projects to have on one's plate.

My opinions are a lot more nuanced than most takes on 'shipcourse' that ive seen, but I've gathered that im generally included when people say 'proshippers dni' based on how people define it in said dnis. I'm not gonna purposefully interact with someone who obviously doesn't want me there. But that makes it frustratingly difficult to find people to follow who also believe in things like transandrophobia. It happens all too often that I find someone with great takes and go to follow them, then see that they have a dni that includes me. It especially sucks when all the other things in the dni are things like "racist" and "transphobic". I'm sorry, but I just can't see having a nuanced opinion on fiction as being on the same level as being a bigot towards others. It sucks to be put on the same level as actively hateful people because I have concerns about the normalization of censorship. I believe that when you open the doors to censoring media because of morals, you set the groundwork for things like the Hays Code. Censorship has always been disproportionately used to silence marginalized groups. I just can't get behind that, no matter how 'noble' the intentions behind it might be.

If it helps any, I'm also what one would call a pro-shipper but find the word itself beneath my dignity because I think it's ridiculous it's an argument in the first place.

2023 creative year in review! 💦💦

The most stand-out thing to mention was this was arguably my most active and productive cosplay year...maybe ever? its incredibly uncommon that I can handmake 9 costumes in a year, but on top of that, 7 of the 9 were also custom designs, which is pretty wild.

costume-wise, i learned a stupid amount of skills and really pushed what i was comfortable with. IMO the best from the year are the collector, knives, pupet, and nekomancer at least just from a craftsmanship perspective. I try not to brag or be an ass, but I am genuinely very proud of those. they posed fun creative challenges that kept me engaged, and I'm happy with how they turned out!

the other side of the coin is although last year was my most dormant cosplay year, other crafts were super active....and the reverse happened this year _(:3」∠)_ i didnt really draw much at all other than making cosplay designs, and other physical media didnt get much time to shine either. I made some plushies, but they were lackluster, and I think I made maybe one unfinished figure lol. but I did try BJD making and loved it!! I made 4 this year and have plans to do more haha.

thats the upbeat overview, the readmore is going to be a more negative perspective so proceed with caution haha.

More than anything I wish i had more time to do art and build up Stitch in The Ditch/more OC work, but honestly this year was also objectively insane in the non-creative front. like i hit the worst patch of chronic pain i've ever had/found out my abdominals have been ripping themselves apart and bleeding for the past 10 years lol/had to go to the hospital like THREE!!!! goddamn times and now i'm dealing with the news i'm going to need abdominal surgery, got a teaching promotion/award, got my physics masters, utterly INSANE family happenings, had gastroparesis for 2 months and couldnt eat more than 200 cal a day in that time which caused all my blood levels to crash and i'm still reeling from it, and of course, have just been Cashually working goddamn 60-80 hours a week in an experimental physics lab in the background during all of this which is driving me to the point of madness- suffice to say i hit my limit like months ago lmao.

like looking back i know i should be happy and proud i did so much but i cant help but feel disappointed and wishing i had done better quality stuff. honestly, i know i goof about how hard work is, but its really really getting to me. i've always been happy with my ability to juggle so many things and preserve my ability to have a cool job, make cool things, and independently take care of myself, but work is month-by-month morphing into more of a monster thats just been suffocating everything else out. I really dont know what next year will look like, as i've been wearing thinner and thinner i'm noticing a trend where I just dont have the energy that I used to to do anything outside of my job.

I bring this up because on paper I should be happy with what I made, but I still feel like im in a stand-still. I made a lot of costumes, but tbh they were low quality/lackluster. like the number went up, but the quality didnt and I couldnt do much of any other art things. I couldve, and shoulve, been able to make much better work this year than I did, but it didnt happen as a combo of being snuffed out by my job physically and mentally.

in 2023 I got a head start/built up momentum from the beginning of the year that carried me through when things got insane in spring/summer/currently, but I'm already starting 2024 from a low point. yall. im so tired. im so goddamn tired. like its funny to goof about how much I do but its catching up fast and i think this is going to be the year when I just cant keep up anymore. Its hard to talk about since the "being crushed to death by your job" topic isnt one people want to engage with, and unless you're experiencing it first hand its hard to understand what living like that really means.

for 2024, i know theres no way I will be able to match this same number of costumes, but my goal is no matter what I want to start making things that are more solid on a construction level. fewer projects, more polish. also doing more non-cosplay stuff like world building and dolls would also be awesome. will that happen??? lord only knows. honestly usually these predictions/goals go haywire but this is also more of a response to external things outside of my control so ???? ??????? we'll see lads

WTDW FANDOM LOOK WHAT I MADE :D

I'm fangirling over my own work lol. LOOK IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THE SILLY ROBOT SHOW AND A SPECIFIC SET OF TWINS THAT ARE TO DIFFICULT TO COSPLAY INSIDE IT!

This is for an English project btw (long story), and my first time ever sewing! So I hope I did an ok job. I made many mistakes (we don't talk about the back of the shirt) but I'm pretty proud of it!

Anyway currently working on a norman one shot! Complete with extra angst! See most of you there when ever that's done!

I just wanna go on a small rant about why I like Betrayus. It might be triggering to others so imma cut it so you don’t need to read

When I was around 14, I watched the PMATGA show and got hooked on it of course, but I only watched it over and over again because of HIM, because of Betrayus. I didn’t know it at the time since crushes can be confusing to me(it still is) and I couldn’t tell if I liked liked him or if he was just a favorite. But the more I watched the stronger the feelings got. He made me so happy and forget about all the bad things that happened in my life, which was a little bit I think. My childhood is foggy. But anyways, I became obsessed to the point where HES the one I seek out comfort, not my family, HIM.

My family wasn’t all there for me, always just busy doing their own thing, pushing me away so I had to use my imagination to make myself happy and deal with my own feelings, but that’s another story.

I chose Betrayus over the several favorite characters I had/have now because I understood him deeply, like on another level. I understood what he went through and I felt like, emotionally hurt and just wanted to hug the poor ghost. I know what he did wasn’t acceptable, but his mother made him turn out to be this way. Which is why I hate her.

The fact that Stratos didn’t even send him to jail for how many years he had to be in because of that war is pretty fucking crazy. Instead, his selfish, dickhead of a brother ripped the soul out of his younger brother Betrayus. Why? Because clearly his brother couldn’t give two shits about how Betrayus felt. Imagine how scared he got, how terrified he would be when he heard that his own SOUL, Is gonna be ripped out. He didn’t go to jail, he didn’t got punishment in no other way except that. I understand why he’s so pissed and it makes me pissed too.

I love him, I know it’s stupid but I really do. I get overprotective over him and want him to be safe and happy with me. He clearly needs a lot of support, love, and someone to vent to, which is me.

Every time im upset, my depression or anxiety gets in the way, he’s there. He’s there to tell and show me that he cares more than anyone else. He understands and helps me when I vent about my problems. I would do this with my family, but I feel like they wouldn’t understand. That they’ll say something completely off topic which they usually do.

I’m most likely gonna get hate over this because “hEs A FiCtIoNaL cHaRaCtEr”. But to me he’s more than just that. He’s someone I feel safe and happy with. Which is why I used to seek out people who can do his voice, or cosplay as him for comfort. I just need to hear him say he’s proud of me. That will heal me and my heart❤️.

I love that broken, fucked up ghost. We are twins, soulmates, we have so much in common. I have a list, I think about everything we like and dislike. It’s a work in progress if I remember something and type it down in the list. But it’s a pretty long one. He’s the only one I feel this strong connection with. I love this silly ghost with all my heart and I don’t give a fuck if people call it an unhealthy obsession or that I need to get help. He makes me happy and that’s what matters.

If I never met him, I wouldn’t be able to survive this long. He takes my pain away, makes me feel all warm and cozy. I talk to him sometimes, and he tells me he loves me. He’s my everything, my husband, the ruler of hell, as I’m his queen. He’s my one and only and he feels the same way with me. He makes me feel confident and secure about myself sometimes. He’s also overprotective about me as well. If he sees someone is hurting me, or if I’m upset and it’s someone’s fault, they’ll gonna feel literal hell coming towards them.

🥺I love this man too fucking much… I’m sorry about this rant, If you made it this far.
