BLACK <s>the night that ends at last</s> in my #cosplayrainbow : Asexual Flag Edition is #HelgaHufflepuff! 🌈💖 Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. I’m considering doing a different cross stitch piece for this cosplay if I can find patterns for a flower representing each Founder & a heraldic/medieval-looking H--& maybe include the badger motif as a necklace instead? (If I can settle on a vaguely handwavey time period, haha.) Or, possibly add a corset-esque bodice in the same black floral fabric as the contrast bits? Any thoughts? (This will be an actual poll at some point.) 💖🌿🏰✨ Ace culture/meme thing: DRAGONS. 🐉 (I was highly disappointed in my group's first Pathfinder campaign that the dragons we encountered were always Evil. Hoping that we'll meet again eventually--it's been a few years--to continue our current campaign, where I'm playing an elf ranger who will be multiclassing to Arcane Archer...not least because our GM agreed that my character could get a pseudodragon companion at some point! 😊 ) {Wand by Rook's Gambit at @parenfaire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} Picture taken at @t2comiccon 2019; border added with @picsart. (Rather bittersweet to be posting this on PA Ren Faire's opening weekend as I was very much looking forward to wearing Helga at Faire for the first time on Fantasy Weekend next month, but now we're not going. 💔 Slightly less tl;dr version: our hotel reservations were cancelled & it was too short-notice to book another hotel in the area, but we had already scheduled vacation days so we'll be going to Gettysburg instead & my dad will be showing us around.) #HelgatheLoyal #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #historicalHogwarts #historicallyadequate #literarycosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #TwinTiersComicCon #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #asexuality #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1G0vqrXTY/?utm_medium=tumblr

@cosplaycreatorgirl had an incredible #aliceinwonderland costume at #magfest2019! So glad I was able to get a few shots of her; I'm still not over that umbrella prop omg. #cosplay #cosplayphotoshoot #photography #cosplayphotography #literarycosplay #alicecosplay #wonderland https://www.instagram.com/p/BsV93tqn5EB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hxev77g12suf

YELLOW in my #cosplayrainbow is #HelgaHufflepuff! 🌈💖 Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. (One of my headcanons is that Helga definitely would allow non-magical people to take sanctuary at the castle as well, rather like those seeking sanctuary at churches/cathedrals/places of worship.) I’m considering doing a different cross stitch piece for this cosplay if I can find patterns for the components: a flower representing each Founder around a stylised H (& maybe include the badger motif as a necklace instead?). Or, possibly add a not-quite corset-esque bodice in the same black floral fabric as the other contrast bits? Any thoughts? 💖🌿🏰✨ {Wand by Rook's Gambit at @parenfaire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} Picture taken at @t2comiccon 2019 (the last in-person convention I attended); border added with @picsart. #HelgatheLoyal #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #historicalHogwarts #literarycosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #TwinTiersComicCon #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CQraT6MDpXr/?utm_medium=tumblr

PURPLE in my #cosplayrainbow is #Aziraphale? One of the great ironies is that I have no purple cosplays despite it being my favourite colour! (Queen Angella is a cosplay plan, though!) Purple really could have been anyone, but I had to include Aziraphale in this set as a canonically queer character. (As a quick aside, @goodomensprime Season 2 is confirmed!! WAHOO! ::gavottes happily:: ) 🌈💖 Picture taken at @syracusecomiccon 2019 (& is one of my very favourite cosplay pictures); border added with @picsart. {Wig by @ardawigs, custom wings by @thepinkpoudo} @neilhimself 💖😇📚☕️ #Aziraphalecosplay #GoodOmens #GoodOmenscosplay #GoodOmensTV #GoodOmensPrime #literarycosplay #adventuresincosplay #femmeAziraphalecosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #ArdaWigs #ThePinkPoudo #wings #cosplaywings #cosplaywigs #allthewings #ButterickPatterns #BowsnTies #handmadewithJoAnn #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #softangels #SaltCityComicCon #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CQu5_49jbyi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy #BacktoHogwarts Day!! I am wearing my Hufflepuff socks today. 💖 Since I always seem to post the same picture of my #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay in front of the archway with vines at @t2comiccon 2019, here’s a different picture! This was an attempt at a Common Room portrait pose & taken in the hotel room at @gorgekeepsom Festival 2019. (I need to try this again!) 💖🦡🌿🏰✨ I’m very much looking forward to *finally* getting to wear this at @parenfaire in a few weeks!! I’ll be attending *both days* of Time Travelers Weekend (& am bringing Linnaea for my Saturday cosplay)!! Will I see you there? 💖🏰😊 Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. 💖🌈 {Dress pattern by @mccallpatterncompany, wand by Rook's Gambit @under_the_laforge_banner at PA Ren Faire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} #HelgaHufflepuff #HelgatheLoyal #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #literarycosplay #historicalHogwarts #OrderoftheRainbowPhoenix #GorgeKeepFestival #IthacaisMagic #Fairelife #PennsylvaniaRenaissanceFaire #RenaissanceFaire #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-fLFwJQfY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m still not sure when I crossed over from just Halloween costumes to actual cosplay, but I started this cosplay account 5 years ago today! 💖🎉 I only really have three cosplays that I’ve redone over the years: Aziraphale, Fluttershy, & “random Hogwarts student.” The picture on the left is my first version of Aziraphale from 2017 (picture is from @t2comiccon, although I first wore this to @syracusecomiccon). This was mostly a closet cosplay based on the book as the only thing I made was the bow tie & the only thing I thrifted was the coat. (The shoes, skirt, & Oxford shirt were from my closet.) I typed up Agnes Nutter’s prophesies from the book & pasted them inside a purchased leatherette journal and wrote the title on the cover with gold Sharpie (I should repost those pictures). The picture on the right is the most recent version, based on the miniseries & debuted at Salt City Comic Con 2019. Updates: purchased a blue Oxford shirt specifically for this cosplay, made my third bow tie, added the pocketwatch (given to my family by a family friend), & made the the frock coat & waistcoat. 💖😇📚☕️ Next updates for Aziraphale: I want to make a skirt instead of always borrowing my mum’s trousers! Also, I need to find a women’s waistcoat pattern so it fits better (& actually learn how to make the welt pockets). I also really want to attempt Rococo femme!Aziraphale? 🎀 Thank you so much for your support (& for sticking with me when I don't post very often)!! I appreciate you & I hope you're enjoying my cosy cosplay forest! 💖🦢🦄 {Wig by @ardawigs; custom wings by @thepinkpoudo; TARDIS from @experienceentertainmentllc; picture made using @inshot} @GoodOmensPrime @neilhimself #Aziraphale #Aziraphalecosplay #GoodOmens #GoodOmenscosplay #GoodOmensTV #GoodOmensPrime #literarycosplay #adventuresincosplay #femmeAziraphalecosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #Instagrammilestones #ArdaWigs #ThePinkPoudo #wings #cosplaywings #cosplaywigs #angelwings #ButterickPatterns #BowsnTies #handmadewithJoAnn #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #softangels #TwinTiersComicCon #T2C2 #SaltCityComicCon #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CfIh7xJj2uz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been contemplating getting a new wig for my #femmeAziraphalecosplay. I do love the ringlets of my @ardawigs Glinda (swipe on IG for a rare picture in good lighting—this is from @syracusecomiccon 2019, featuring my custom wings by @thepinkpoudo), but lately I’ve been thinking of something longer? Arda’s Merry (on the first slide) looks promising—& it comes in the same Fairy Blonde colour as my current wig for Zira! (The main thing that makes me wary is that I probably don’t store my wigs properly—I keep them in their bags until it’s time to wear them—& I’m sure a long, curly wig will require more maintenance. Like re-curling, which I’d need to learn how to do!) 💖😇📚☕️ Any thoughts? If I can go to conventions (or at least to JoAnn to buy fabric) this year & have enough time to do a mock-up . . . I have bought the @americanduchess for @simplicity_creative_group Robe a la Francaise pattern. #RococoAziraphale is officially part of my #cosplayplans! (Although I keep going back and forth on whether I actually like Watteau pleats?) 💖🎀 In more #wigshopping news, I’m looking for something for blonde Christine! (Yes, the Arda Merry *could* work, but it does look very different colours in different lights—sometimes even dark yellow!—& I feel like a lighter blonde would be better? I’ll be posting the Arda wig I’m looking at in the next few days. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced the blonde swatches I ordered years ago before I bought my Zira wig so I’ll have to order more swatches.) Again, any thoughts? 💖🎼🎭🌹🎻 #Aziraphale #Aziraphalecosplay #GoodOmens #GoodOmenscosplay #GoodOmensTV #GoodOmensPrime #literarycosplay #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #ArdaWigs #ThePinkPoudo #wings #cosplaywings #cosplaywigs #angelwings #ButterickPatterns #BowsnTies #handmadewithJoAnn #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #softangels #SaltCityComicCon #askInstagram #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CZGLjHcD6Ix/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Twelve of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas “Nature.” Here is my very rough test of a #Minettecosplay from @strangelykatie’s wonderfully lovely graphic novel series, @teadragonsociety! 💖☕️🐉🌸🌿 {Yes, this is the other cosplay test I mentioned—& cryptically described with emojis … four months ago. ::facepalms:: Swipe on IG for a side-by-side of the panel I’m trying to recreate.} I’d love to wear Minette to a comic con sometime (she’d actually be my first cosplay from a comic book/graphic novel!) but I need to get her animal-like elements first … & an actual Chamomile plushie!). I’d highly recommend the series if you enjoy the following things: gentle fantasy, LGBTQIA+ & ability-diverse characters, tea, dragons, & soft illustrations. (Disclaimer: I’ve only read the first book so far, but I’m sure they’re all adorable! Book 3 was one of my Christmas presents, hurrah!) {wig is by @ardawigs & the same one I use for Fluttershy; blouse is 1980s vintage from my mum; Chamomile is being played by the #Dragonite plushie I bought at @syracusecomiccon} #Minette #TeaDragonSociety #TeaDragonSocietycosplay #graphicnovelcosplay #literarycosplay #KayONeill #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #ArdaWigs #cosplaytest #closetcosplay #cosplayplans #futurecosplayplans #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKKaQPFQH6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Nine of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “Dancing”! I still need to look into how to post videos to IG (& practice twirling so I can make more of said videos—unfortunately, I don’t have much room to do so), but here’s a picture of me twirling in my #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay at @t2comiccon 2019! (It’s blurry because I don’t really know how to get proper stills from a video so I just took screencaps on my laptop? Halp?) 💖🦡🌿🏰✨ Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. 💖 {Wand by Rook's Gambit at @parenfaire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} #HelgaHufflepuff #HelgatheLoyal #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #literarycosplay #historicalHogwarts #TwinTiersComicCon #T2C2 #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYGL12XM8j5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Seven of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “White.” @syracusecomiccon 2019 had a pretty doorway-ish structure perfect for taking pictures—here’s my #femmeAziraphalecosplay! 💖😇📚☕️ {Wig by @ardawigs, custom wings by @thepinkpoudo} @GoodOmensPrime @neilhimself #Aziraphale #Aziraphalecosplay #GoodOmens #GoodOmenscosplay #GoodOmensTV #GoodOmensPrime #literarycosplay #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #ArdaWigs #ThePinkPoudo #wings #cosplaywings #cosplaywigs #allthewings #angelwings #ButterickPatterns #BowsnTies #handmadewithJoAnn #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #softangels #SaltCityComicCon #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYBCaSVsRpj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day One of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “Love.” Here’s a repost of my Valentine’s Day post of me repeatedly cosplaying halves of some of my OTPs (Inexpertly collaged with PicsArt.) 💖 Here we have: Sophie Hatter, Aziraphale, Christine Daaé, an older Alice Liddell (somewhat based on an online RPG I was in forever ago? Someday I want to cosplay Alice from @briannacherrygarcia's wonderful #WhenCuriousityMetInsanity), & Castiel. 💖 {Aziraphale:‬ custom wings by @thepinkpoudo; Christine: corset by @bosswenchofficial / Crystal Fineries, petticoat pattern by #TheAntiCraft, pointe shoes by ‪@BlochDanceUSA; Castiel: custom #articulatedwings by @studioacm, angel blade by RoadSoFar on Etsy & painted by me.

PURPLE in my #cosplayrainbow : Asexual Flag Edition is #Aziraphale (again)? 🌈💖 I love that the asexual flag is purple & grey because those are two of my favourite colours! Ironically, I have no purple cosplays despite it being my very favourite colour. (Queen Angella is a cosplay plan, though!) As with my #costumerainbow set, purple really could have been anyone, but I had to include Aziraphale as a canonically queer character who is sometimes coded as ace in fanworks. 💖😇📚☕️ Ace culture/meme thing: if you’re wondering why I hadn’t mentioned cake in my “ace meme things” bit yet it’s because of *course* Aziraphale needed to have cake! 🍰 {Wig by @ardawigs, custom wings by @thepinkpoudo} @neilhimself Picture taken at @syracusecomiccon 2019 (& is one of my very favourite cosplay pictures); border added with @picsart. #Aziraphalecosplay #GoodOmens #GoodOmenscosplay #GoodOmensTV #GoodOmensPrime #literarycosplay #adventuresincosplay #femmeAziraphalecosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #ArdaWigs #ThePinkPoudo #cosplaywings #cosplaywigs #allthewings #ButterickPatterns #BowsnTies #handmadewithJoAnn #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #softangels #SaltCityComicCon #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #asexuality #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CS5p6jMDcRN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Two of @celerymoondesigns' #12DaysofCosmas is "Peace & Tranquility." I'm not sure if my #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay works for this, but it seemed like the best prompt for her. I was trying to go for a Common Room portrait feel here. 💖🌿🏰✨ (Picture is from @t2comiccon 2019; I did post this at the end of last year as part of the "10 year cosplay challenge.") * * Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts.
