Very strange that being a genocide apologist makes you feel like a moral superior to anyone else who actually has morals.

A genocide apologist😭😭 be so fucking for real. What? You mad that I said Trump would be worse for Palestinians than anyone they could put on the democrat ticket? Fr???????

You’re out here sending anon hate like a baby throwing a tantrum as if that’s doing a single fucking thing to help the people you’re grandstanding for. Donate to a go-fund-me, lobby your representatives on behalf of Palestinians, do something that fucking matters.

Grow the fuck up and vote coward. No one can take you idiots seriously.

Regular reminder that sudden and severe weight loss is a pretty serious sign that something is very, very wrong

Y'all, I've been wanting to cosplay Cecilia since my first watch of Saw X last year and I finally did at a con recently!! Had the opportunity to do a night shoot with a really cool photographer and I am in love with how they turned out, got so many amazing photos that I can't wait to share! And would y'all believe I've already got plans to cosplay other versions of Cecilia, including au stuff haha (I've also been thinking of cosplaying some other characters played by Synnove, very much thinking Ran Jutul from Ragnarok might have to be a future cosplay project)

Also had to compress these to upload them here so hopefully the quality isn't ruined too much <3

Today i was lying in bed and thought to myself that if i tried really hard I could run for a short distance. I wouldn't be doing well but i could do it. Then I stood up and suddenly i was lying on the floor and well.

Vee im losing my mind

IM NOT TWEAKING RIGHT THAYS LITERALLY SAMATOKI i have NOT seen anyone talk about this and its hilarious how no one has noticed that a popular youtuber took samatokis design and turned it into his very marketable vtuber and roblox character like. no one else has a little sibling who watches this? ?? Anyway thoughts on this predicament

this is the exact face i made ngl LOL like again???? another hypmic character has been appropriated as the face for their content????? but it’s samatoki so i can’t even blame them tbh lol

I’ve been talking so much about my Ranni cosplay at fanimecon, just because she was so intensive, but on Sunday I did a more comfy cosplay for me and I just got these pictures back from one of the photographers who did a little impromptu morning shoot with me as Persephone from Lore Olympus! (He is on Instagram @ ginostar !) There are some more pictures that I’ll share another time but these ones were my absolute faves of the bunch and had to post right away 💖

It will forever gonna hunt me when I asked for a photo with BSD Fyodor cosplayers who had the Bram sword, but my mind was on Genshin brainrot mode, so when one of them asked 'how do you feel about Bram's death', my brain just went blank, thinking '...Bran?.. bren? BranOnline the youtuber?', so I just said 'IDK anyway' Only after coming home a week later when I finally realized they mean BRAM STOKER THE VAMP DUDE OMG THEY WILL FOREVER THINK IM A FAKE BSD FAN-

Today's mobility aid update: apparently, I am now a Full Time Wizard Staff User.

_

Tl;dr: I'm a cane user who needs more support and has shoulder problems, I am beginning a cosplay of a dnd wizard, and turns out that apparently a staff is better for me than a cane.

(still planning to try forearm crutches and would like a powerchair eventually but well, I'll compare all those too. And for now, I have my staff.)

& also, the wizard I'm cosplaying, Raistlin Majere from Dragonlance, is canonically very disabled and uses his staff as a mobility aid.

_

Backstory: https://www.tumblr.com/dyspunktional-revan/717836384898023424, also some follow-up https://www.tumblr.com/dyspunktional-revan/719407235725492224 (I did try two canes and it was *horrible* on my shoulders).

And now I've been planning a cosplay of Raistlin Majere (who, by the way, canonically uses his staff as a mobility aid!! A young mobility aid user (25 in the first book (Dragonlance series), had to use a mobility aid since 21)! A disabled magic-user who is disabled not because he is magic-user (has been disabled all his life, an event that disabled him much more at 21 was related to magic but the disabilities themselves were not magical — his body was just severely weakened and broke down more; and *couldn't be healed* for magical reasons but not from magical afflictions)! And more and more and more I love Raistlin so much).

There had been several things at home that could go for the staff's pole but they all needed work and weren't very handy to walk with. But now I got a new one — a drape runner that wasn't holding in the wall and had to be taken off; and — this particular one was already an appropriate length. And empty inside, and thin and firm enough at the same time thanks to being metal (wrapped in some kind of plastic). I still had to give it some tip to stand on, and it wasn't even cut straight. It's 25mm and the standard cane tip is made for 20mm.

And then my mother had a genius idea. She took an old cane tip, and *shoved it in*. And it holds perfectly.

Now to the mobility aid part!

So, now I have a proto-staff I can actually walk with, and at first I felt like my cane was mostly better. But then I wanted to stand up and my legs hurt really bad, I took my cane at first but then I decided to take the staff instead — it can offer more support, especially if I hold it with both hands.

After a while, I put it down and took my cane — and realized that the staff was actually better. My shoulder instantly felt much worse. Idk about the rest because I just put down the cane and took up the staff again, and had been using it for the rest of the day.

I'll probably still need to use a more conventional mobility aid outside (when not in costume)... For one thing, I don't think anyone's going to offer a bus seat to a guy with a wizard staff rather than a cane or a crutch (eh. Also that applies to when in costume too, thought about that long before I'd thought of actually using the staff as a mobility aid outside of cosplay).

Although perhaps btw I could, like, try to ask, hey I have leg problems, I actually use a cane when not cosplaying, could you please,, Idk.

As I said in tl;dr, I'm still planning to try other mobility aids, planning to buy at least one forearm crutch as soon as I can go out (currently ill). I'll compare that and the staff too, might alternate like folx do alternate their conventional mobility aids? And eventually I would like a powerchair, don't know if it can ever become possible for me.

I got like really sick and at the same time I have exams coming up that I really shouldn't skip so with all that I can't muster up the energy to draw and on god the ideas hopping around in my brain are multiplying by the minute dgdjhdkdgdj

[knifefightandchill]

yeah so i don't think i've ever posted my face on here. but i have a couple of con selfies that i liked. so i thought why not be bold for once.

my makeup and contour had mostly come off by the time i took these rip. so they're not good pictures of the cosplay at all but listen i like them in general.

*sigh* so i missed the entirety of Auraugust. I really wanted to do some of them, but i ended up unable to get on much.. here's a previously unposted pic Phini anyway

Genuine question:

Can you give yourself a repetitive motion stress injury/car-pool (sp) tunnel from just a week of sewing? Because I was fine then one morning I just woke up in agony in my dominant hand, wrist, and thumb - no build up of pain, just bam! - and it’s been a month without relief. Been using compression gloves, got a massage, and been trying to use the hand as minimally as possible but it’s really hard with AuDHD and a constant need to have my hands moving to keep my mind focused. And I think it’s actually getting worse? So now I can’t knit, sew, hold and use my phone, even spreading mayo on bread hurts.

I’ve reposted this on main but I’d greatly appreciate anyone with insight on this.
