[mdaproductions]

Long post incoming: I've been meaning to make this post for quite a while. Cosplay is meant to be fun, an escape from reality, to give us a sense of freedom, let us be creative. We all fall in love with it under one simple premise - we love to dress up as our favourite characters and have fun with our friends. Sometimes though, cosplay can become a great source of stress. Many focus on views on videos, likes on them and on photos, and it gets to bother you. I've been frustrated with such things now and then myself. But I always remind myself, that I do cosplay for me, and no one else. It's important to remember that for most of us cosplay is supposed to be this fun silly hobby that you get to do on the weekends with your friends. Likes, views, etc shouldn't matter. It's important to remember that when you're faced with negative comments, it's better to ignore those, and I understand it can be hard, and some are even harder to ignore. Just remember that for every one hater, there are at least tens more who are routing for you. It's important to surround yourself with the right people in this world and in this hobby. I know I've definitely been doing that more. I hope you're all able to keep yourselves surrounded by positive people in your lives. Cosplay & photo by me

pssst… psssssstttt…… hey artists..

you can just. draw a character wearing an outfit that you own. you could just do that, if you wanted. go ahead, pretend they borrowed it after a cutesy sleepover, or maybe a NOT SO CUTESY sleepover, if you’re one of THOSE people (😳 love all my “those people” out there🫶)

better yet! draw them in it and pretend they gave it to you!!! “what? nooo, this isn’t from Walmart! this is from- GILLION TIDESTRIDER, CHAMPION OF THE UNDERSEA, HERO OF THE DEEP, THE CHOSEN ONE, IN NEED OF A DAD, FRIEND OF PRETZEL, EATER OF- (various titles) and NO I did not buy it oversized, it’s just big on me because it belonged to a BEAUTIFUL BUFF BOY ❤️”

things could be done with this, trust

Hey lads guess what

[cringefail-clown]

Don't know if it's been said yet but I adore Jake's little cat-elf ears :3c

im glad ya like the way i draw him now :3 i had to somehow resolve the issue of ears ×2 or smooth head where the human ears should be somehow, so i just... moved the cat ears. jade at least has a massive amount of hair so theres no worry about drawing or not drawing the human ears, but jakes short hair led me to some artistic compromises LMFAO

and it was NOT my intention but now that you pointed it out i wont be able to unsee it LMFAOO

Queen of His Heart

Summary: Bucky unexpectedly meets one of his idols

Written for: @the-slumberparty

Words: 1948

Square Filled: G1- Meet Cute

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Actress!Reader

Warnings: Bucky dressed as a Frank Frazetta barbarian (Come on, you know this is a warning)

A/N: Set in a modern AU. I had way too much fun creating this fictional fantasy series XD

Bucky didn’t fit the stereotype of a nerd. He was tall and beefy with long hair. Most people are surprised when they find out about his special interests. Bucky loved D&D, fantasy novels, cosplaying and LARPing. His favourite book was his copy of The Hobbit which he had since he was a boy. Another favourite of his was a series called Maidens of Wrath.

…

There was so much about this series that Bucky loved. He loved the strong female characters, from the wicked Sister Nimsay; high priestess of the Order of Bulgraith to the kind hearted Isra who ran a local tavern that the characters frequented. His favourite character by far was Queen Ranlova. She was the eldest of seven siblings in this matriarchal society. While five of her sisters each ruled a kingdom of their own and her brother was a royal advisor, it was the duty of Queen Ranlova to keep the peace between the kingdoms. She didn’t always get along with her siblings but she could be kind and just while also being a fierce warrior. Bucky also enjoyed the relationship between Ranlova and the barbarian prince Yarreth. The prince admired the queen without pathetically pining over her while at the same time, respecting her boundaries. Not once was Yarreth disrespectful towards Ranlova should she turn him down.

When Bucky first heard that they were making a TV series out of the books, he was excited, yet reserved. For example, The Lord of the Rings movies were absolute perfection (even if they did leave out his favourite scene; the Tom Bombadil one). The Hobbit Trilogy was okay but the Rings of Power series was abysmal in his opinion. Bucky counted down the days until the moment until the show aired and when it did, he was pleasantly surprised. It was everything he could have ever hoped for. They got all the details right and he especially loved the way the actress playing Queen Ranlova portrayed her. The series used a lesser-known actors, only casting the big names for certain characters. After the first episode, Bucky was hooked.

…

Bucky was excited about the upcoming fantasy convention. This year, the cast of Maidens of Wrath would be guest stars on the panel. He had his Prince Yarreth cosplay all ready to go and tried to think of any questions he might want to ask them. Now all he had to do was earn a little extra money so he could go.

Bucky was working his usual shift at the café. It was the same people with the same conversations and the same orders all over again. The only thing that was getting him through the day was the thought of going home to re-watch the latest released episode of Maidens of Wrath before heading to his shift at the restaurant. While working, he came across a new customer. He didn’t really see her face as she kept the cap of her baseball hat low and wore sunglasses. Something about this woman seemed familiar to him but he didn’t say anything. He would just have to keep an eye on her.

The whole time this mysterious woman was at the café, she didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. She just sat and drank her coffee like anyone else would do at a café. When Bucky went to clear up her space when she was finished, he noticed that she left something behind. Picking it up, it was a copy of the newest Maidens of Wrath novel: Metal Machine. This hadn’t even been released in the US yet. Whoever this woman was, clearly had special connections and Bucky knew if he had left something like this behind, he’d want it back. Bucky ran out the door with the book in his hand.

“Excuse me! Miss!” he called.

Bucky tried going after her but she was too fast. He wanted to go after her but felt like he’d look like a total creep chasing some poor woman down the street. Bucky thought if she was a fan like he was, she would come back to the café to pick it back up when she noticed it was missing. Until then he would take good care of the book.

…

Bucky had the next day off but informed all his coworkers what had happened and asked them to call him immediately if the woman came back for the book. Unable to help himself he started reading Maidens of Wrath: Metal Machine but forced himself to stop when he got to the neatly placed bookmark. As much as he wanted to devour the whole thing (and he easily could in a single night) he decided it would be a courtesy not to do so. If he went any further, he might accidently spoil something for someone in his excitement and he didn’t want to be that guy. This way, he might be able to discuss everything that had happened so far in MoW; Metal Machine with this woman. That is, if she would be open to it. Bucky was so engrossed in his reading that he nearly jumped out of his skin when his phone alerted him of an incoming message.

Nat: She’s here ;)

Bucky grinned at the message and immediately rushed to the café.

…

As soon as he arrived, Bucky looked around for this mystery woman. He spotted her sitting at the same corner booth she was yesterday, looking around nervously. Smiling, Bucky headed over to her and presented the book to her.

“I believe this belongs to you,” he stated, handing the book back.

The woman smiled and carefully tucked the item away in her bag.

“Thank you so much.”

“Anytime. You’re so lucky to get an advanced copy of Maidens of Wrath. You must have some pretty special connections,” Bucky rambled.

“You could say that,” the woman replied, lowering her sunglasses a little.

Bucky could have fainted right then and there. It was really her. Y/N L/N, the actress who played Queen Ranlova on the show. He realised his mouth was hanging open and quickly closed it, taking a seat across from her.

“I take it you’re a fan of the series,” she continued, pushing her sunglasses back up.

“Yes, ma’am. I love the way you bring Ranlova to life. You were a perfect choice for the role,” Bucky gushed.

“Well, thank you,” Y/N smiled, looking a little flustered.

Bucky started a conversation with her and it wasn’t long before it felt like they were old friends. He came to find that Y/N had a few acting roles before Maidens of Wrath so she wasn’t too well known yet but with the series boom in popularity, it was becoming her biggest one yet. She was really easy to talk to with a kind of country girl air about her. Bucky bonded with her over their mutual love of the fantasy series. Y/N’s favourite volume was book two: Crimson Glory whereas Bucky’s favourite was book five: Midnight Moon. Eventually Y/N’s phone pinged, indicating a message which informed her she needed to go.

“Will I see you at the convention?” she asked.

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” he smiled.

Bucky couldn’t wait.

…

Finally, the day of the convention arrived. Bucky proudly examined his cosplay that he had worked so hard on. He wore a faux fur loin cloth, faux leather boots, and a gold circlet on his head. Over his left arm, Bucky had slipped a sleeve that looked like armour that had a strap to cross over his chest. Feeling good about himself, Bucky picked up his warrior axe walked out of his room for breakfast.

Bucky’s roommates Sam and Steve gawked at him as he sat down at the table.

“What?” he grumpily asked.

“Nothing… just didn’t realise Conan the Barbarian was joining us for breakfast,” Sam grinned.

Bucky grumbled under his breath.

“Leave him alone, Sam. He’s been really excited about for this,” Steve chided.

“Fine, fine,” Sam huffed. “You sure you want to leave the house like that though?”

“What’s wrong with my cosplay?” Bucky questioned, suddenly feeling doubts.

“Nothing at all… but if you get flocked by hordes of thirsty woman, that’s all on you,” Sam shrugged.

Bucky finished his breakfast in a hurry because 1. Sam was annoying and 2. He was excited to see Y/N again, grabbed his backpack (which kind of ruined the image a little but needed it nonetheless) and left for the convention.

…

By the time Bucky got there, the event was in full swing. There were cosplayers everywhere, vendors selling their goods and various demonstrations being held. Bucky was in geek heaven. He looked at the various displays people had, deciding what he may really want before buying anything, had his photo taken by many other attendees and somehow ended up in a group shot with other Yarreth cosplayers. Bucky was having the time of his life.

Finally, it came time for the event he was waiting for. A large crowd of people flooded into one of the buildings for it. Normally, Bucky hated crowds but for something like this, he would make due. When the Maidens of Wrath cast members walked out, they went wild. After they had taken their places, people asked their questions. Some were insightful, some were a little dumb while others were downright insulting. Bucky really wanted to throttle the ones who were disrespectful to the female cast members.

After the Q&A session, they aired a brand-new episode for the public to see. It was everything Bucky could hope for. They got every scene from the book right. Once the viewing was over, the cast went on to do pictures and signings. Bucky patiently waited in the line to meet Y/N. He would have been in that line anyway, even if he hadn’t had meet her a few days before. As he moved closer, he could hear her talking to the other convention goers, complementing them on their cosplays and giving words of encouragement. Finally, it was his turn at the front of the line.

“Hi, I don’t know if you remember me,” he began but she cut him off.

“Bucky, from the diner! Of course, I remember you! Your Yarreth cosplay is fantastic!” she beamed.

Bucky smiled brightly. She remembered him.

“I really enjoyed meeting you and I can’t thank you enough for returning my book.”

“You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help,” Bucky smiled.

Y/N sighed a photo, flipped it over and scribbled a message.

“Let’s take a picture together,” she encouraged.

Bucky got into a warrior stance and Y/N also posed.

“I hope to see you again,” she smiled, handing him the autograph and the photo.

Bucky walked off with his items so other people could take their turn. He couldn’t stop smiling as he read the message on the autograph.

Bucky, I normally don’t do this sort of thing but I really enjoyed talking to you the other day and had a lot of fun. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Love, Y/N

With the message, she had written her phone number. Who knows? Maybe one day they could have the same kind of relationship of Queen Ranlova and Prince Yarreth did. It was the kind of fantasy romance one could only dream of.

ConnectiCon, 2023

Nintendo - Legend of Zelda

[drsteggy]

Working on details. She is going to clip onto the brim of my hat and flutter between my shoulder and ear on one side. I made the original fairy years ago as I thought it would be funny to do a BOTW Link with a fairy trailing a string of pink lights around him like he’d just gotten clobbered. It was a funny idea but the light string broke like an hour into wearing it, so she has been in a box. I remembered I had her, though before I went about making another one. Hee body is a balloon light that I colored with a sharpie, and her wings are a shrink film. I’m painting the small clothes pin she will wire onto.

The ocarina is getting primed as I type. I decided to put some Pearl-ex powder into my paint for that to give it a little extra pop.

[springlock-suits]

I am posting these for personal reference so I don't have to keep looking through my screenshots lol

First trailer, speaking to Mike on the phone. Wearing a tan dress shirt with stripes. Bold stripes are either blue or black or red or green?, color of lighter stripes cannot be discerned. Shirt appears to have a left brest pocket, but hard to tell. Navy blue tie with white dots in a diamond pattern. White undershirt. Clothes overall loose and casual/comfy

Second trailer, physically speaking to (presumably) Mike, takes place before first trailer appearance. Beige dress shirt with left breast pocket. Simple plaid pattern. Maroon tie with thin black diagonal stripes

Edit:

His phone is a boxy shape, and stands out with a taller/more elevated base than I usually find so far. Due to the width, we can assume the phone he's using is one that came with many speed dial options. Understandable as he works a business here

[autistickaitovocaloid]

Can't believe I never posted this despite me making it nearly a year ago, anyway here's a little Sabitsuki that I cross stitched onto a hoodie that I was going to use to cosplay as her for a halloween party I never ended up going to
