#becoming the costume

[joemerl]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first Halloween episode had that plot, so we get this joke in the second:

Buffy: Like the tux, Xander. Xander: "Bond. James Bond." Insurance, you know, in case we get turned into our costumes again. I’m going for cool, secret agent guy. Buffy: I hate to break it to you, but you’ll probably end up cool head waiter guy. Xander: As long as I’m cool and wield some kind of power. [...] Willow: I’m Joan of Arc. I figured we had a lot in common, seeing as how—I was almost burned at the stake, and plus she had that close relationship with God. Xander: (to Willow's boyfriend Oz) And you are? Oz: (adjusts his shirt to show a nametag that says "God") Xander: Of course. I wish I’d thought of that before I put down my deposit. I could have been God. Oz: Blasphemer.

Anyway, instead we get a different plot about some frat guys accidentally summoning a fear demon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A witch’s curse has made it so everyone will turn into their costumes every Halloween Night. Unfortunately for the witch, the townsfolk got used to it and are now milking this golden opportunity.

Hey! So now that the @loveybugzine is out, I can share my piece! It was fun to design a girly floofy pink outfit for her.

The zine is free if you want to check it out!

Now that I've finally finished streaming the TTYD remake, here are all the little costumes I made for my Paper Soleil avatar - one for each of the 8 chapters! (they were all rigged for animation in pngtuber+ too, but I'm too lazy to make gifs, so you can go skim through some of the VODs if you wanna see the buny movin')

This was easily the most extra work I've ever put myself through for streaming a single game, to date. No regrets tho! I couldn't be this committed to casual streaming if I wasn't at least a LITTLE bit of a tryhard, right?

I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.

I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.

The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.

Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!

PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!

And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)

BECOMING JANE (2007)

Why is it that I, haver of no patience, endurance, object permanence, or general good sense, am also so terminally attracted to gigantic mammoth projects that nobody with two braincells to rub together would want to attempt?

(also, why is that project I'm rotating in my mind like a well-done blorbo never the stuff I'm supposed to be working on? I literally have a whole fucking masters thesis to write, about a topic I actually like (and which I will talk about at length if anyone asks, hint hint))

Anyway.

I can spin, crochet, knit (badly) and weave (in three, soon to be four, different flavors). I've sewn things before. I've been severely eyeing nålbinding for a while and actually do have a needle for it.

I am mightily tempted, positively entranced, by the idea of making a whole outfit by hand. Spinning, potentially dyeing, making it into clothes, the whole deal. Bottoms, top, layering for warmth, accessories, all handmade completely from scratch. It would be the project of a lifetime. It would take a lifetime.

The only thing keeping me safe right now is that wool directly on the skin doesn't sound like a great time because even if it ain't itchy, it would be kind of a pain to wash, I don't trust myself to spin a cotton or linen yarn that's both fine and sturdy enough to weave with, and I think a crocheted base layer would be too bulky.

(Also I'd probably have to deal with the Vague Dysphoria of skirt, because I am *not* sewing pants, but I'd do it for the aesthetic. Also, Secret Pants might be a fun third option)

But dear fucking lord, the lure of the "Strange Temporally Displaced Pasture Gremlin"-Core outfit is strong.

Finally saw Megalopolis today. It's like Cats 2019 except every single person involved put their whole pussies into delivering the most perfect realization of Coppola's lifelong dream. One problem: his dream is dogshit garbage. Turns out having people who can tell you 'no, this sucks' is one of the most important parts of creating art.

Wow Platinum was perfect in every way though zero complaints give Aubrey Plaza an oscar

[mortiscausa]

just had an idea for an arthurian story where the knights get sick and tired of having to wait around for some exciting thing to happen before they can eat so every feast they nominate one of them to put on some fancy dress and pretend to have an exciting quest that needs fufilling so arthur will let them eat

Carry On Through the Ages (all the way back to Ancient Egypt)

"A Prophesied Rivalry:

This painting, remarkably well-preserved, was recovered from the tomb of a previously unknown and as-yet unidentified woman of significant power, whose rediscovery has fascinated Egyptologists. Historical analysis suggests she was believed to possess a gift for prophecy, and this artwork is very likely an attempt to illustrate one of her visions.

Here, she and her husband are depicted championing their son, who faces an outsider in combat. The outsider is also supported by an enigmatic figure of seemingly great power, foretelling a great struggle between two mighty forces, though whether these forces were meant to be supernatural or more mundane is not clear.

The dog shown, intriguingly, held a place of honor within the family and was found interred in a nearby chamber. The cat's presence, however, remains enigmatic, as the "Cats vs Dogs" reputation cultivated by these domesticated animals today is not something observed elsewhere in Ancient Egyptian artwork. Noted Egyptologists Miriam Blackwood and Theodore Langston have half-jokingly speculated that its inclusion was a mere artistic preference, hinting at the painter’s fondness for cats."

I've always loved Ancient Egyptian art, ever since childhood. I've wanted to do something like this ever since I first read of Baz's ancestry, so @carryonthroughtheages seemed the best excuse to dabble in this ancient art style.

I talked to @monbons about it and apparently the stars and planets were in alignment that day, because she agreed to collaborate with me. She’s created some absolutely gorgeous fiber art to go along with Natasha’s prophecies. And then she surprised me with a Baz doll, because she is amazing. (I love him so much and we are going to look at fashion books together. It’s going to be awesome.)

This is definitely fanart of both Ancient Egyptian art and Snowbaz. Both are worth diving into if you find yourself curious to know more!

Finished my Season 10 Joel cosplay!!!

I wanted to incorporate his build style into the design for the costume, so it’s cyberpunk with Sakura blossoms! I’ve also got honeycomb smocking for the cuffs to tie in his bee farm. That took forever to do but I just had to include it!

I’m so glad I got this done in time since the blossoms bloomed early this year and I really wanted photos with some pink blossoms! I’ll probably post some bts and more details about this design but I just love how this turned out!

It’s so crazy to think I’ve been watching Smallisbeans content off and on since the days of CrazyCraft. I’m so glad Hermitcraft/the life series brought me back, I’ve missed the chaos.
