Questioner: Draco, how do you feel about Dumbledore's obvious favoritism for Gryffindor?

Draco Malfoy: Oh, I think he should be fired!

[powerhh]

it’s finally here! the dumbest shit my crew did at närcon summer 2018!!

this cosplay panel features me and friends (links in the yt description) acting as some of the 1-A kids of boku no hero academia. i’m bakugou and i scream a lot.

we never managed to get our hands on the full panel, so a part is gone, but if you have 40 minutes to spare and you enjoy boku no hero academia? here's almost the full experience of a dancestuck panel, filled with stupidity and memes. some of the content is based on actual parts of my chatfic Yikes™, so if you’ve ever wanted to see a live action version of a crack fic? here’s your chance. enjoy.

Look I made a cosplay in time for ncs, it was a lot of fun cosplaying gwyndolin, probably the one I have had been asked for most photos of out of any of the cosplays I have ever made yet, and then later I had fun cheering for my friend who was competing as yhorm the giant

Have a couple of random cosplay photos of me as an unidentified Weasley/Hogwarts student. I went Närcon in Sweden for a couple of days last week, almost sweated to death because of the heat and dragging that broom around everywhere, but I had a great time! The wand isn’t mine, it’s by ArtByLars.se, who had a stand in Artist Alley, and some awesome props!

Anakin: “Anakin Skywalker is dead! I killed him! I am Darth Vader! I am a Sith lord!”

Obi-Wan: “Anakin, what in the Force are you doing?! And where did you acquire a mask of an exact replica of your face?!”

Anakin: “I said Anakin Skywalker is dead! This is his head! I chopped it off! Now kneel for me!”

Obi-Wan: “Anakin, stop! This is ridiculous!”

Anakin: “NO. I WILL NOT STOP. LOOK. YOU CAN EVEN WEAR HIS HEAD AS A HAT, OBI-WAN.”

Obi-Wan: “...Why is this happening to me?”

Anakin: “I KILLED ANAKIN SKYWALKER. I AM POGGERS. I AM POGCHAMP. I AM NOT CRINGE.”

*A few hours later.*

Obi-Wan, sitting next to Anakin: “Anakin... I get that you’re going through quite an identity crisis right now. Do you want to talk about it?”

Anakin, stifling a sob: “N-no... I’m fine...”

------------

The last picture is just a bonus, as I wanted to see if I could put my Anakin figurine in Obi-Wan’s lap. The joints were a little stiff at first, but I think it ended up cute.

Bought my Obikin figurine at Närcon Sommar back in 2018, and been wanting to get my hands on an Anakin figurine as well, and a few weeks ago, I finally found one, which I bought online, and it was the last on stock, so I got super lucky! Both figures are from the Star Wars Black series. 

And as soon as I opened the box with Anakin, I found out he had an extra head, of one with red eyes, when he’s consumed by the dark side. So I grabbed some tape and, well, had some fun with it.

And I’m glad my Obi-Wan figure finally got Anakin to join him on my fandom merch shelf at home. :D

Ska du på Närcon? Skulle gärna vilja träffa dig. Och det lät väldigt creepy whoops. ((Ursäkta att jag inte kan stava))

jarrå, jag ska på närcon! ;^) och ahah nej då det låter inte creepy! kommer vara ganska upptagen under hela konventet, så bästa sättet att försöka hitta mig och träffa mig på är efter panelerna jag är med i. du får såklart komma fram och säga hej om du ser mig, men kan inte lova att jag kan stanna och prata om jag är påväg någonstans lmao. det är mycket troligare att jag faktiskt kan stanna och prata lite om du haffar mig efter en panel. 

anyway, om du vill hitta mig lätt så är jag med i de här panelerna:- homestuck, kl 14:30 på torsdagen som karkat- boku no hero academia, kl 23:30 på torsdagen som bakugou- heathers, kl 11:30 på fredagen som kurt kelly - yuri on ice, kl 20:30 på fredagen som j.j. leroy- voltron, kl 11:30 på lördagen som lance- haikyuu, kl 16:00 på lördagen som nishinoya

hoppas vi ses där! ;^))

2018 Uberlist

@sylphidine recommended Uberlist to me. The idea is that instead of new year's resolution, you come up with points you want to do for next year, and hopefully, you may fulfill some of them.

I know the idea was to originally write 118 things I want to do in 2018, but towards the end, it became increasingly tricky to come up with stuff, and at the same time, I don’t want to exhaust myself with too much. So 100 will do!

I tag: @mira-eyeteeth , @nose-nippin-fun , @gumbies , @asksassyjackfrost , @ksclaw , @kazechama , @zinfandelli , @only-1-a , @jillandjackalope , @tejoxys , @emboardom , @lastronaut , @incessant-ree , @drsquee , @bunnimew , @hamnskiftare , @apathetic-punkhippie , @cianethedevil   

Well, it is hard to pick only a few, as there are so many wonderful people who I’d love to know what they have planned for 2018.

Remember that you don’t have to do it. And also that you don’t have to write much – only if you feel like it.

Personal

Be kind to myself, and remind myself that nobody is perfect, and never will. Therefore I should strive to do my best, but don’t beat myself down when things don’t always go the way I intended to.

Gain stronger self-esteem.

Take better care of myself. Like reminding myself to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, and get some fresh air frequently. 

Make a functioning, week schedule of stuff I need to do once in awhile, so that I don’t forget, such as cleaning up in my home, do the dishes, do laundry, cook, sort through paperwork – that kind of stuff.

Routinely take time off to be alone and relax.

Social

Get back in touch with old friends.

Get out of my home frequently to socialize.

Have a small party with friends at home.

Have a picnic with friends.

Start watching movies and tv series that my friends like, as they’ve told me many times to do. Because it is good.

Become more active in the RotG fandom again, such as creating content and socialize with friends online.

Meet new people offline who share the same fandoms and interests as me.

Post more often on Instagram.

Play video games with friends.

Try out the game Dungeons & Dragons. (Shoutout to @mira-eyeteeth for recommending it to me!)

Attend more social events, such as conventions, festivals, parties, concerts, movie/game nights, and flea markets.

Find more opportunities to help friends, in whatever they may need help with.

Go to the beach with some friends in summer.

Start playing Pokémon Go.

Not pushing myself too hard with being social, and find a balance between socializing and spending time alone. (Being an introvert, I need to regain energy after being around people for longer periods of time.)

Writing

Write almost every day, whether it be fanfictions, poetry, or a few pages in my diary.

Read and review more fics.

Beta read some fics made by friends.

Gain further knowledge in English, with all of its grammar, and widen my vocabulary.

Find my own writing voice, and what type of voice I like best.

Try out different genres of writing.

Try out different kinds of tenses and narrative point of views from what I am used to writing.

Start jotting down ideas in a small journal I keep in my bag, for whenever I get hit with thoughts and inspiration to add to my writing.

Begin outlining plots for fics, so that I have a better understanding where the story is going, and how to continue.

Make personal character charts for fics, with basic information such as full name, age, height, interests, goals, and worldviews.

Watch more videos and read posts on how to develop in writing.

Not being so hard on myself, and as mentioned earlier, not strive for perfection, but to write in ways that make me happy.

Read fiction and poetry regularly.

Read my writing aloud once in awhile.

Make small writing goals, such as ‘write x amount of words this week’, and ‘send chapter to beta reader by date x’.

Write in my dream diary whenever I have a rather fascinating dream. (Perhaps I can find some ideas to add to my stories.)

Write some original fiction.

Talk a little with friends offline about writing, and ask if they have any books they may recommend.

Publish the first chapter of my Blackice fic, which I’ve been working on and off for YEARS, but haven’t had the motivation and confidence to share until now.

Continue said fic, and post at least two new chapters every month.

Cosplay & Conventions

Attend Närcon Sommar 2018.

Cosplay more than one character this year.

Accomplish my goal to cosplay Tooth from Rise of the Guardians.

Participate in a cosplay contest.

Expand my skill in sewing costumes and style wigs.

Be better prepared for conventions, getting enough food and rest, and pack everything that I need at least a week before.

Remember to bring a water bottle to conventions, as it tends to get very warm wearing a costume after awhile.

Take more photos of my costumes, both in progress and finished results.

Try to relax at conventions, and not be afraid to walk up to someone and compliment their costume if I feel like it.

Help my friends with their own cosplays, giving ideas on how to sew and modify costumes.

Partake in at least one cosplay parade.

Frequently post photos on my cosplay blog.

Buy more merch of my favorite books and movies.

Drink bubble tea.

Buy some artwork from the artist alley.

Make a schedule and budget on how much time and resources I can spend on making cosplays every third month or so.

Buy a sewing machine.

Experiment with a variety of techniques when making costumes.

Learn how to work with worbla.

Not stressing about it, but doing what I can with my capacities.

Music

Add more songs to my playlists.

Write a song.

Listen to several genres of music.

Buy some band posters.

Home

Decorate my home with some new furniture, paintings, posters, and plants.

Buy some new mugs and cutlery.

Sort through my old clothes and donate to second hand.

Get a tv, a sofa, and some nice pillows.

Organize my stuff into boxes and shelves.

Cook some nice food once in awhile.

Eat more fruits and greens.

Have some friends over for dinner.

Drink less soda and try to drink more juice.

Bake some desserts.

Family

Go to the cinema with my sister.

Cook some nice food for my mom.

Introduce new food to my mom and sister that they haven’t tried before.

Make a painting to my mom and sister.

Get in touch with my cousin.

General

Start exercising regularly. Like, try at least once a week.

Get back to drawing and painting.

Sew a dress.

Buy some new clothes and jewelry.

Get a new ID.

Start a vlog.

Watch more anime and read manga.

Ride a bicycle in summer.

Go to therapy.

Organize a birthday party.

Celebrate Midsummer Eve, and Halloween.

Learn more about taking care of animals.

Play new video games.

Buy a new swimsuit.

Go to Haga Ocean and visit the Butterfly House.

Go to Gröna Lund amusement park and attend a concert.

Go to a museum.

Watch a theatre.

Again, be kind to myself, and take it easy.

Remember that I am good enough just the way I am, and that life is precious, and so are friends and family. Remember that no matter hard life may be, the good times are the ones worth treasuring. 

Thank you for reading! This was awesome!

And I wish you all a happy new year!
