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 :)

every time i think abt gon's nen contract literally aging him up. literally giving him an adult body as a reflection of his incessant need to be more powerful, to reach the goal, to grow up . and then after that he goes back to his family. and goes back to school. and does homework

like we all know gon basically saved killua's life by giving him a chance to be a kid. but in the moment he heals him, killua absolutely returns the favor. like gon gave him the courage to go back to his family and take everything that was worth it from his childhood and use it to save gon's. to let gon be a kid again too i need to CHEW on SOMETHINGGGG

"demisexuals/demiromantics can't have celebrity crushes" do you know how many months of podcasts and interviews and podcast interviews it took to get to this point. how much blood, sweat, and tears i've sacrificed to get to a point of infatuated and twitterpated stupidity. don't you dare invalidate the self-made hill i'm actively dying on.

Q. What was the thing about his game that impressed you the most and gave you the most trouble? ROGER FEDERER: Well, he's an outstanding athlete. Of course he moves totally different to most of the players. His forehand is huge, you know. Even on the run, you know, can hit it with the spins, backhand to the court, make you hit another tough shot. We'll see, of course, very much from him in the future. So for me this was a big match because I know what a great player he will be one day.

2005: a year after defeating Roger Federer in a shock upset in Miami, Rafael Nadal meets him for the second time in the 2005 final of the same tournament. Despite being up 4-1 in the third set, he eventually lost the match 6–2, 7–6, 6–7, 3–6, 1–6.

I'm not saying I understand what's going on in the Kingdom Hearts lore but I am saying that if Roxas could dual wield because he shared a heart with Sora and Sora could dual wield because he shared a heart with Ventus and both of them retained their ability to dual wield after they all separated and became their own people because the bonds you make in your heart never truly leave you and continue to give you power

then Logically, Sora should be able to triple wield like Zoro Onepiece
