Robert Moonbrow, Cleric of Pelor | Sole Survivor & Dogmeat

Photography by David Ngo at C2E2 2024

- - - - - - - - - -

Hello, Tumblr!

It's...certainly been quite a while, hasn't it? OOF. I really apologize for the unintended hiatus.

I was at C2E2 in Chicago a couple of weeks ago with some updated costumes, and figured I'd share!

Friday and Sunday I wore my Sole Survivor costume from Fallout 4, with plenty of extra weathering and proper strapping since I slapped it together prior to Halloween last year. I made the Dogmeat Heavy Dog Armor for my actual German Shepherd(Caboose), but since he's not a service animal(please don't bring your pets to conventions), I wound up purchasing a close-to-life-sized plush version that the costume *mostly* fit on. The number of people who did double-takes and "thought it was a real dog" was staggering, so I guess I did something right. Also, Sunday of C2E2 is always touted as family day, so the number of kids that came up asking to pet my dog was adorable.

On Saturday, I wore my D&D costume: a half-elven cleric of Pelor of my own design. I adore Dungeons & Dragons, and as an homage to nearly playing with the same group(multiple campaigns) since 2002, I made my first character Robert Moonbrow. I debuted this back in 2022, which revealed some issues with my design, so those fixes were made(mostly reinforcing the straps to prevent stretching and to reinforce the area around the rivets since all of the armor is EVA foam) as well as a heater shield I never got around to finishing, which turned out great, with the exception of being able to see the wrist straps through the foam on the front. On a whim, I decided to enter the Crown Championships of Cosplay this year, ReedPop's costume contest. I had zero expectations of anything, since people have no attachment to original characters other than the person making it, but I worked insanely hard on this thing, dumping probably close to 1,000 hours into the costume overall, and pushed the boundaries of my skillset to make something I was truly proud of out of a love for the fun my friends and I had with our time together. I didn't win anything, but it was genuinely great just to be in the same competition as the others who entered with their insane craftsmanship and attention to detail, and I do mean that, sincerely. We had a great time talking shop backstage during the competition and admiring one another's costumes.

Will I ever compete again? Probably not. It kind of eats up the entire day, and it takes me forever to make a costume in general, much less one to compete with. If I ever did, I might consider revamping my Grey Warden Alistair costume or something, but it's an extremely low priority. At the end of the day, cosplay is just a fun hobby for me, and adding extra stress with competition prep and anxiety kinda sucks some of the fun out of it, even though it was a fun and new(at least at this level) experience this time.

This is the only convention I'll be attending this year, much as I absolutely miss all of my friends at Dragon Con and would love to attend. I haven't been there since...2018? Oof. My friend Darryn said he'll be there in 2025, so I made the promise to him that I'll be there, which means I'll be bringing Alistair, since we became friends by cosplaying the character. I would also love to bring my D&D costume, but it's not exactly a cool and comfortable costume, so I'm going to try to test out its comfortability in the heat by wearing it to the Bristol Renaissance Faire on the Wisconsin/Illinois border at the end of July this summer(Saturday, July 27th is the plan). If you're in the area and want to see it in person or say goodbye to me as I potentially die of heatstroke(kidding!(hopefully...)), feel free! Fingers crossed the weather holds out that day for a solid test.

Anyway, time for me to shut up! Enjoy some additional shots from C2E2 2024:

New cosplay alert! I'll be wearing Toph Beifong at the Cosmeetup Chicago event this weekend. She's been on my list forever so it feels awesome to finally whip this costume out 😁

This was my first time building a cage wig, thank you so much @gormasmus for advising me on this build! I learned a lot and she's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy overall. I'll probably play with restyling it a couple times after the event until I'm satisfied.

I'm excited for the live action series and new content coming out, here's hoping it's good!

[outlaw-scumfuc]

Ooooo okie. Those sound pretty neat. It's on my bucket list (at least in my head) to bake with my romantic partner (when I get one 🥲) bc I always thought that sounded super cute and fun.

Ooo what games have you been playing recently/ have played a lot? And what do you play on?🤔most of my time after I get home from work is taken up by video games with friends ^~^

I never really got into Pokemon go, but I remember when everyone was nuts about it

Hell yeah cosplays! 😤 W I've only ever been to one con and I didn't dress up or anything. My only real regret from that is seeing someone in a Yoruichi cosplay and not being brave enough to ask for a picture with them 🥲😭😭😭 (side note: would LOVE LOVE LOVEEE to fuck you in some of your cosplays😩🥴 or other things 👀🤭)

As for travel, I think that's neat you do. I don't travel hardly ever. I've only been out of the state like maybe at most 5 ish times. I've only been to Vegas once for a friends birthday. Then Chicago a few times bc my friends gf lived down there for a while and I went with him a couple times. Then the other times were to Ohio for one of the zoos there. The only consistent traveling I do is every year me and some family go up north to s campground for a week and vacation

-👾

I looove baking for people. I usually make all my friends bday cakes and stuff like that. It is pretty fun to bake with people tho we usually decorate all together.

I have a pc I built a few years ago. lately I kinda only play Minecraft and Fortnite bc I’m bored of everything else. I kinda work alot so I don’t have time for much else anyways.

I’m actually going to irl Pokémon go event tomorrow that’s pretty big lol I try to go every year and there’s usually sooooo many people.

I try to go to every con in my area. I always go with my brother and his gf and my best friend. We all cosplay together not usually the same franchises though. I go like to 3-4 cosplay events a year and I hate repeating cosplays so I have a few and have a few upcoming ones planned. You should totally cosplay sometime though it’s just fun to do.

Out of the country I’ve been to Mexico and Japan a few times and I’m going again this year to Japan. I visit a lot of states and stuff bc of friends and family and go to a lot of random events. I was in Vegas a few times last year bc I live not too far like a weekend trip away. I don’t like gambling but I mostly go for museums and exhibits and just random stuff.

Sept 20 2024

Meow meow, greetings all this neko boy is feeling alright. I am having one of those oh I don't know what to do at this very hour. I am early or late I don't know to sitting down in the living room and writing out this entry. I am listening to music by BabyMetal. Oh speaking of BabyMetal I purchased a Baby Metal T-Shirt from Aliexpress yesterday. I also purchased a cat cosplay collar and another T-shirt from the same website. Meow today is kind of a normal average day. My dad was up for a little while today and now he's back to laying down. I don't know what's going on with him or he just normally like this on the days he's off. He is usually around doing stuff but I don't know. When I move out there will be a whole lot things different. I mean I hope to get a place close by the bus line so that I can go places instead of being stuck at home. My mom took my niece and nephews to their home school stuff and to a field trip and won't be back till before 3pm I think. I am not really sure what's going on with my mom and the niece and nephews usually they are back before now. I am having my smart watch charging so it isn't on my left wrist heh. Meow so I had taken Kylie outside on a walk a couple of times today. First was our usual morning walk and then a short one to check the mail. Meow I didn't have any Ramen Noodles today as I usually do but I had some left overs for a snack. I don't know I just have to eat something around 1 pm. Meow this neko boy has been talking to my best friend for a while now. It is really to bad that my best friend who I talk to on a daily basis lives several States away. It would kind of be nice to hang out with my best friend. Nya this neko boy is hoping that I don't have to wait forever to get my stuff from Aliexpress that I purchased yesterday. I know that I will get my figurine that I purchased last week Monday in the mail. Right now my figurine is in Chicago IL. Meow well I am kind of looking for apartments for rent on a couple of websites on the right side of my screen hehe while I am typing this entry. i am kind of looking for apartments under $800. Anyway I think I will close out this entry for now. There's nothing really else to talk about right now. I might post a couple of pictures after this entry. Until then later.

STUFF FROM TFCON CHICAGO 2022!!!!! 💖

About the cosplay: It's Hawk!!! 🥰 And hey!! I did a much better job than Halloween last year I think 😹✨💙 This was what I meant talking about the variation thing in my last art post btw~ I had two people recognize my character!! The joy I got from that was undescribable 😩🙏💖

About the con itself: OH MY PRIMUS I'D BE HERE ALL DAY TALKING ABOUT EVERY COOL THING I SAW 😭💜 Let's just say that I was incredibly lucky to find the stuff I got, and I'm grateful to have gotten it (yes btw that is a screenshot from a tiktok I made about this, I'd put it here but Tumblr is really weird about posting videos so....check my TikTok ig? 😳) // It was truly awesome to see all these figures and things from shows I barely see anyone talk about yet which I care deeply for, NOT TO MENTION THAT EPIC TABLE OF ENTIRELY VINTAGE JAPANESE G1 STUFF WAAA 😭🙏💕💕 So yea, I got a lot of cool stuff, I met some ppl (including a nice conversation with the actual Aaron Archer!! He signed some stuff for me and even left doodles with the signatures!!! Like a smol Unicron or an Optimus!!! That was very cool 😌✨) I saw a lot of cool cosplayers who I didn't have the courage to talk to, but I'm glad I could admire all the creativity and passion from afar :] And the panels!!! Were all very interesting!!!! The Peter Cullen one was awesome, and the script-reading one at the end of the day was also very fun!!! I read for Minerva's part in the audition period, and though I didn't get it, I enjoyed that little moment! Plus, the person they ultimately chose did an amazing job with the script!! ✨ It was purely just cool to even see Minerva on that screen for a while--tbh, we stan the Masterforce rep I saw all throughout the day 😩💖🔥 or, well, I stan that...😳✨

About Meeting Peter Cullen: In short? Surreal ✨🙏 So, I'd signed up for an autograph when getting the tickets for the con! And that Optimus you see up there is the thing I meticulously drew as the print. I wanted it to be something special, so I literally poured my heart into that...tbh, it did turn out quite nice!!! ^\\^

From here I'll repeat exactly what I said in my Instagram post: Though brief, I'll never forget those couple moments. I was able to tell him that theres a lot I struggle with, but that Optimus has always been a real friend to me, and I thanked him for the role he's played in my life...after he signed my print, I asked to give him one, and then mentioned actually, I'd drawn these, and he was so impressed. He read the captions on the banners aloud and said "That's Optimus alright!" (I was grinning like an idiot sjsjsj) & before I gave the copy, he asked *me* to sign it for him 😭 the highest honor for me as an artist ngl 🙏 Reading my name, he said he was glad to have met yet another unique individual like myself...before leaving, we shook hands and he told me I should keep going, that I'm doing great. I couldn't stop smiling as I left.

....

So basically, Saturday was a dream--in fact, many dreams came true Saturday. Thanks, TFcon Chicago, it was a wild and fun ride I'll never forget~

[slangtasy]

That record was broken less than two weeks later, at the second “Donda” event, which attracted an additional two million viewers. This one ended with West ascending to the ceiling in a harness—or “flying”—amid an epic light show. At the third and final event, in his home town of Chicago, a masked West performed in front of a replica of his childhood home. Then he set himself on fire, and unmasked himself to meet Kim Kardashian, on stage, who wore a Balenciaga wedding gown. In front of a bewildered audience, the former power couple again “married.” The scene concluded an operatic, multicity experience, which had somehow felt both precariously improvised and hyper-curated.

The “Donda” events—a blur of red, white, and black; fashion, flight, fire, home, wedding ceremony—were prime for headlines, memes, retweets, and TikTok takes. It was an innovative hype model, one that leveraged the rapidity and multiplicities of late-capitalist new media. Throughout this period, Kardashian continued to dress in Balenciaga, sometimes wearing outfits that resembled costumes from “The Incredibles”—monochromatic body suits, thigh-high boots, and eye masks. The superhero cosplay coincided with the next chapter in her career: a nine-figure deal with Disney. That year, the Kardashian-Jenners ended their E! show and signed on to star in a new reality series, “The Kardashians,” on Hulu, a streaming service owned by the Walt Disney Company.

Okay, home from the con, peeled off all latex, makeup, wigs, and cosplays, and in comfortable clothes for the first time in like three days and about to pass out after barely sleeping for three days, but here's the highlights (also I promise this is my last post about it, I just had a really fun time and am laksdjfakds about it)

Day one we're on our way to the con throwing on wigs and putting on makeup in the middle of Chicago traffic, somehow did not die

Me and my friend's husband cosplayed Shinji and Kaworu while she was Asuka and since people sometimes assume me and my friend are dating I thought it was funny that it was me and her husband who were the "couple" cosplay that day lol

The person who shouted "Get in the robot, Shinji!" at him and then disappeared into the crowd, never to be seen again

At one point a guy came up to us and was like "hey my friend wants to know if he can get a picture with you" and we were like "Oh yeah ofc!" and turned around and he was cosplaying the fucking Seele sound box (I did not fully register there was a person inside of it at first but oh my god)

After recharging in the hotel for a bit we went to the rave and it was a good fucking time. Lots of jumping and screaming and dancing and there was a mosh pit. Could have done without the Asuna cosplayer flashing everyone her whole underskirt area while getting grinded on in the middle of the mosh pit but eh, what are you gonna do

Helping my friends get into their super complex league of legends cosplays the next day (I conquered the world's most intense safety pins, let me tell you)

My best friend's pure and utter excitement over the full Freddy Fazbear cosplayer

About twenty minutes after arriving at the convention center on day two a Denji cosplayer came up to me and asked for a picture (I was cosplaying Makima) and we took one and then he goes "okay, I have another request, and you totally don't have to do it if you don't want to, but you know how Makima calls Denji her dog..." and then he pulls a whole leash out of his bag so I got to put a Denji cosplayer on a leash. Man got down on the ground and everything lmfao

Watching my friends walk around in their funky little bird feet all day for their league of legends cosplays

Somehow?? Someone??? Double-booked a rich kid's prom at the convention center? So all these high schoolers showed up in formal attire and were so fucking confused and horrified by all the fucking nerds and cosplayers over-running everything

One girl literally huffed at us when we walked by and her boyfriend pointed at us kinda excitedly lol Ruining prom for stuck up bitches even after my own prom hellll yeah

Today we cosplayed Maki and Nobara so fuck yes hardcore kinnie moment

I encountered a Toji cosplayer as Maki and we got some fun pictures together :D

I bought a Sanemi keychain from an artist and as she was wrapping it up, she goes "By the way I love your Maki cosplay. You must really like angry characters, huh?" and I almost fucking died

Encouraging my friend to finally ask Goru cosplayers for photos after she spent the whole weekend staring at them because she loves Goru

My friend got to meet a famous cosplayer she's been a fan of for a really long time, and she was super cool and just sat and chilled and chatted with us for like 30 minutes

Peeling the Maki makeup off of me in a panic in a Denny's parking lot half way home because we weren't gonna subject the poor staff into wondering what the fuck was going on

Anyways, it was an extremely fun weekend. I haven't got to go to a con since I was still in high school and a family member had to take me and didn't want to do anything/just made fun of everything. So actually getting to go the whole weekend, cosplay, go to events, and do it with two friends who were having just as much fun as I was was amazing :D

[talking-killer-gorilla-chillies]

YOU GUYYYYYS. MY FRIENDS AND I MADE IT INTO THE GORILLAZ ALMANAAAAAC

I don’t even know what to say. 17 years of adoring the world and music of Gorillaz, and now they’ve allowed me to be a part of their history. What an absolute honor. (Nooooo i’m not crying) Shoot man. Jamie Hewlett liked my drawing a couple years ago, and now they must’ve liked our cosplay. What a world we live in. Life is good.

The mission Chicago review nobody asked for:

- since this was an officially licensed con there was no artist’s alley which was not surprising but was disappointing

- related to this, there wasn’t enough to do outside of panels. I perused the vendors the first day, and had seen it all by the end of the day

- that said, though there wasn’t much aside from panels, all the panels I attended were wonderful! I did science panels on day 1, by 2 of the science advisors on disco, and I could listen to them talk all day they made it sound so interesting and cool

- day 2 I went to the lower decks, disco, and strange new worlds panels, as well as George Takei. Lower decks was a highlight of my weekend, the cast was an absolute riot, and we got to see season 3 footage. It’s gonna be so good guys. Also someone asked Mike McMahan about how lower decks “keeps canon so much better than all the other new trek shows” and Mike had a very diplomatic and respectful answer to a question that should’ve stayed in the asker’s head

- disco panel was also so good. The cast all seem like such lovely human beings and I got emo at a few of their answers. I actually ran into David Ajala shortly after the panel and I told him I loved him as Book and that disco got me into trek and it meant a lot to me and he was so sweet and he gave me a hug (that he initiated, I would not request that from someone I do not know)

- George Takei panel was interesting but it was a lot about his life and not as much about trek. He did throw shade at Shatner which I appreciate. Some guy at the end asked his opinion on some weird department of homeland security policy which was so strange

- strange new worlds panel was…interesting. We got to see footage, which was awesome, and the cast seems lovely, but the host was very strange and made some uncomfortable remarks re Anson Mount (we all know he’s a dilf but be less weird to his face). And there were so many out of pocket questions, the low light being a guy who asked about Uhura’s actress’s gender and also brought up Spirk fic and asked Ethan Peck about queer Spock. Also somehow the last question was asking Ethan peck about halo 4

- there was so much cool cosplay and also for some reason at least 2 furries???

- there was a photo op that was sponsored by NFTs. Booooo NFTs I got some cool pics tho

- I did not go to day 3 as I went to the aquarium instead

- overall I very much enjoyed the con but really wish there had been art, tho I understand why there wasn’t. Also I think there needs to be some kind of question moderation in the panels. I do not at all regret going, but also probably would not travel specifically for this in the future as long as there continues to not be art. Solid 7/10 overall (but 10/10 weekend with a couple lovely friends)

[ignatiusteto]

Since you like hetalia who was your favourite character? 😭

shit uhhhhh sealand i think????? i literally made a sad little academy cosplay for him when I went to my first con (only been to two this was anime midwest in chicago i was so nervous i was very young)

chjuhhhhhhh i liked the scandinavian guys too. before sealand it was gonna be a Denmark cosplay like i wore the trench coat a lot after that very handy very nice.

a lot of pick n choose?? like Germany and of the Italy brothers i liked romano more whatever that says about my personalityatsjgg i think i would even say he was a fave. calling myself out Fonte my sweet sweet venetian valorang agent oc was a hetalia oc and like one of my first for realzies ocs i would consider and guess who she was! bet u did! she was Venice. i actually like couple years ago maybe just before covid reworked some of her lame backstory into something more historical because i still really love when people like do historical hetalia stuff but heck if i can remember!!

sealands just a little guy and romano is so pissy yknow

Talks Machina Highlights - Critical Role C2E87 (Dec. 10, 2019)

Tonight’s guests are Marisha Ray and Taliesin Jaffe!

Announcements: CR is heading back to Chicago for C2E2 2020! More information on the site!

Episode 87: Big Boyses Punishment and Politics

Stats for this week’s episode! Beau has been an Expositor for 49 days. Caduceus has healed 222 HP from unconsciousness, and is the only member of the group not to have asked yet who’s on the Tal’Dorei Council (he has a joke he’s been saving). The players asked Matt to get a HDYWTDT three times before he actually got the 153rd one (across both campaigns).

First question of the night (16 minutes in): how worried were they about a TPK during the fight? They were both pretty stressed. Marisha: “I didn’t think it was going to be a TPK, but I was definitely starting to emotionally prepare myself for Beau being dead, like dead-dead. It was grim there for a second.” Taliesin: “We still had ways to pop a couple people back if we had to, but it was looking...”

Are they hopeful about turning the Inevitable End into the Inevitable Friend? “I feel like if I could’ve gotten that hug, maybe...” If anything, Taliesin’s worried that she’ll come back to be a problem later. “At some point, someone’s going to pay the Inevitable End to Inevitably End us.”

It’s pointed out that a lot of Beau’s previous successful diplomacy attempts were isolated from the party, but this time Beau actually got to do it in front of the group. “It was impressive, it was fun to watch.” “Yeah, that feels good.”

Caduceus genuinely did think Dwendal was complimenting him, but mostly because he was having a panic attack at the time. “I think he probably put it together later.”

“Beau’s not stupid. Beau will only challenge authority when she feels like it’s a challenge that she can make with limited repercussions, hopefully, one that she can successfully win, or at least get out of, if challenged. She likes picking fights, but she knows the time and the place.”

Cosplay of the Week: Nott! (SparkleanCos on Twitter, photography by Alexandra Lee Studios)

Taliesin's Percy instincts pushed him forward in the throne room, but it didn’t exactly come out the same way in Caduceus’ words. “I was so panicked. It fell apart so quickly. This character has no business being in this conversation. He just opened his mouth and nothing is coming out.”

Now that she’s an Expositor, Beau has started feeling more connection to the Soul as a whole rather than just to individual people.

On Caleb’s backstory, Caduceus only knows about the letter argument and “remembers it very very clearly”. It’s all wrapped up in his concern over Nott and Caleb, and only really understands that Caleb feels threatened in that situation. “He doesn’t really understand the particulars, other than that there are dangerous people here who want to hurt us. Who are apparently very clever.”

Marisha on Caleb’s backstory: “It’s kind of been like, yeah, dude, I know it’s a lot, but get your shit together for a second while we handle this. She cares, but also there’s a big part of me objectively that thinks that Beau might be a terrible person to be the one to try and talk Caleb out of shit at this moment.”

Taliesin and Marisha both note that it’s suspicious how quickly Dwendal was willing to give up the Beacon. Marisha: “There’s no doubt that there’s something happening, more, it’s just a matter of how much King Dwendal knows.” Taliesin: “I don’t know how in-control he is in all this.”

Taliesin thinks the truth-telling in the throne room was a dangerous call. Marisha: “I don’t think we told them anything we didn’t know, though. It’s about honesty, but also lying through omission.”

Fanart of the Week: Caleb! (Azraillu on Twitter)

Caduceus: Hufflepuff.

Caduceus kept thinking “I don’t even go to this school!” when Dwendal was going on about being on the edge of treason. Dani points out that only 3 of the Nein are from the Empire.

Beau keeps becoming the face of the group, even though her charisma is lower. “It’s less that I was assigned designated driver, and more like everyone else is just a little too drunk. They just fell in my lap, the keys, nobody really entrusted me with that. I’m wearing the uniform. I look the most respectable, and my word will probably be taken with a little more weight. It’s situational face.”

Who does Caduceus lean on, with everyone leaning on him? “Jester’s been there for him a couple of times, which has been interesting. He lived with his family for his entire fucking life, he has lived at home with parents, siblings, and his aunt. There’s a built-in support structure to that. He’s kind of been pretending that he’s been at work. And yeah, he’s had a couple nervous breakdowns. And usually, weirdly, it’s Jester who shows up as his rock, a few times. He’s got a very different relationship with everyone else. Beau and Caleb he considers on his level, so to speak, and Yasha and Fjord are kind of projects.”

Beau was pretty much exclusively leaning on her Expositor authority in the conversation with the king. “She [as a character concept] really started clicking with the Plank King. That was the first time it was like, this is how this character’s meant to work.”

Caduceus was definitely telling the truth when he told the Gentleman he was lonely. “His family left him in kind of a shitty way, if you think about it. People just kept not coming back until he was sitting alone in a forest by himself.” Marisha: “Why haven’t you ever tried to scry on any of them?” Taliesin: “There’s the answer he would give, and then there’s the truth.” Marisha: “You just said Caduceus is all about the truth.” Taliesin: “Yes, but you just found the hole.” Marisha: “FUCKIN EXPOSITOR YEAHHHH”

Now that they’ve met both monarchies, have their opinions changed? Caduceus: “It’s confirmed everything I thought, anyway.” Marisha: “It seems like both sides just went to fight each other without any real excuse.” Taliesin keeps alluding to a “really dumb idea” he wants to put across on Thursday. They were genuinely annoyed at Dwendal.
