My first ever comic con! And first cosplay too. Of course it's gonna be my boy :] Ramblings about the process are under the cut(Let me know if?? You would want me to elaborate with process images for any of the steps?)

The costume took me forever to make, as I've never done any machine sewing, sculpting, fabric dying or spray painting before but learning all of these was so fucking fun!! I never realised just how many different skills go into making a cosplay but it was so worth it!!!

Almost all of the clothes(except the hat) were purchased first as bases, but all of the detailing was added by me. All of the fabric used was originally just scraps that I was given for free so I needed to learn how to dye and dye all of the stars, they were originally white.

The sewing machine was its own beast that brought me tons of frustration from the lack of skill and knowledge (it was devastating to find out that 95% of fuck ups were my fault and not the machine's lmao). But as a result, a hat sewn from scratch, all of the fur trims, embroidery on the corset, stars and the collar(which is very hard to see on the pictures unfortunately) was all added manually. The stars and the stripes(on the back of the cape) were attached using heat-and-bond adhesive (I WISH I knew about such thing just when I started working on this. It would save me so much time and nerves.)

Then I found out about polymorph(mouldable plastic) and it has become the next thing I wanted to learn, to sculpt the claws and the fangs(yes, they're handmade jfksjs). The claws I then primed and painted in trillion coats because I wasn't satisfied with the colour of the spray paint. The fangs I moulded to my own teeth and then stained with tea to match the colour of my teeth :)c

As for makeup, I used Mehron Paradise water activated paints. At first I wanted to try to save money and bought myself Snazaroo instead, which unfortunately turned out to be a waste. Snazaroo didn't hold on my face for longer than 2 hours, cracking and peeling awfully. Mehron on the other hand survived 11 hours of me smiling, talking, emoting and such and didn't even crease at the smile lines(I'm actually shocked about that). It obviously works like any other makeup which means your skin texture and wrinkles won't go anywhere but Mehron's elasticity pleasantly surprised me. It did obviously smear from sweat and saliva(if you're eating and licking your lips) but if you don't touch the skin it just dries again, self setting. But if it's dry it's fully smear-proof. Highly recommend!

And last but not least, I've decided against painting my hands as it was very risky that I will stain everything I touch at the smallest hint of sweat. So instead I got myself gloves-tights(? Not sure how they're called but it's made from the same fabric as tights) and painted them with normal acrylic paint(did you know you could dye fabric with acrylic paint? I personally didn't), then heat set with an iron and voilà, they're reusable, my hands are not stained after an exhausting day and I don't stain everything I touch. It worked wonderfully which honestly was a surprise as I was really sceptical that acrylic paint will somehow stay in place.

I think this whole thing took me minimum of 6 months with big-big breaks for my school and life in general. But I'm really proud! This project taught me so many new skills and I couldn't have been happier about learning new knowledge, even if it sucked to fail in the meantime.

Everyone at the con was really nice and gave me a large confidence boost even tho it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. Taking photos with other people was really awkward/new for me as I hate cameras so I really had no idea how to pose/behave in front of one. But that's okay I think. This whole experience definitely made me want to do this again, so I think that will come with experience. Thank you for reading this far, hope you enjoyed this little summary :)

do you think that faramir when he is steward, first of his house to abandon ruling from the title, ever thinks about his father and feels pity? for a lot of things, for sure, but what I’M thinking about is. well i think he thinks of boromir and knows that wherever he is, that that foremost dream of his, to see gondor safely through the war, for the sun to gleam again off the great spike of minas tirith - it has come true. he only wishes his brother could have lived to see it. but his father - if he had lived he would be appalled, by the gondor he would see. his house reduced to the hand of a king he never would’ve accepted, who had ended one war and promptly begun another. his son may have lived but he has defied his father’s wishes one last time, accepting the return of the king. for faramir at least right after the war everything he has ever dreamt of is coming true. minas tirith a queen among queens, with a king he sees as wise and true and worthy of his rule. his sacrifices have been worth it at last. but he Knows that to the man himself his father’s sacrifices would not have been. boromir died with some hope. his father died with none. he wishes he could think that his father may have died in despair but gods-willing, might look down upon the world and be at peace. maybe he is - faramir will never know. (there are many parts of his father’s mind that he had never had the time or the will or enough of a relationship with him to understand, and now he never will). but he does not think so. and for that he pities him, and knows that his father would hate it, and yet cannot stop himself from feeling it. it’s only one part of the incredibly complicated mess of emotions that i’m sure faramir feels whenever he considers his father but i simply think that it is there and denethor would’ve absolutely despised it and ohhh god the tragedy continues even after the relationship is over and gone and irreparable!
