Incredible cosplayers and prop builders who regularly post tips and how to’s that you should be following:

Kamui Cosplay- https://www.facebook.com/KamuiCos

Special notes:

* While there are places on this list that I  have shopped, I picked up a lot of these from other people. I have NOT  shopped at every one of these.

* I originally made this for a local cosplay group (Treasure Coast Cosplayers: https://www.facebook.com/tccosplayers ), which is why some notes are Florida specific.

* Special tips via @renfamous

Be  careful with some of these places when it comes to online  payments.   Make sure you’re buying from places that use reputable payment  vendors like PayPal or Google wallet, or at the very least don’t enter  your   card number into anything unless the transaction page url starts  with   an https.

Also everyone please please please do not use your debit card for your first ever purchase from some Romanian cosplay shop that opened three weeks ago.   Use your debit card to buy a Visa gift card at a drug store or ask   your  parents if you can use their credit card and give them cash on the   spot.

Credit cards give you many more options if the vendor   doesn’t deliver or ships you some busted ass dead possum wig from   Taipei. Not saying the above listed places are necessarily bad, but   these are still good tips for making safe foreign purchases online.

Special thanks to everyone who helped put this list together!

Updated with slightly better movement, and a few more actions xD.

[humannotallowed]

Umi - I don’t want you to be afraid

Eli - I don’t want you to run away

Love is a storm, storm in lover

When I listen to that song, this is what happens in my imagination lol~

I really like that song~

[humannotallowed]

Honoumi it’s so real to me.

Like Umi is always talking about Honoka like she admires her so much.

Even if they fight a lot, it just shows how much Umi cares about her.

In that hug, Umi was so mad because she was so scared of thinking she lost Honoka, and she just couldn’t deal with the thought anymore that she hugged Honoka right away skxkkznsc

LIKE UMI WAS THE ONLY ONE CRYING

And also, did you see how happy Umi gets when Honoka called her cute? Honoka has always been there to make Umi feel loved

PLEASE DONT LET ME BE THE ONLY ONE THAT SHIPS THIS LIKE THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHY ISNT THIS SHIP MORE POPULAR

[humannotallowed]

Yay~ I got more honoumi stuff. Though some of them weren’t just that lol, but really my goal was the honoumi stuff.

[humannotallowed]

#31: I truly never understood why everyone shipped KotoUmi. Like does everyone just ship it because is popular and because of the song?  I feel like HonoUmi share more moments and make more sense. submitted by anonymous

[humannotallowed]

(´｡• ω •｡`) honoumi (otp) icons, as requested! for free use.♡

[humannotallowed]

treat yourself like you would treat your favorite character

From Dengeki G’s, Sept. 2012

This is one of my favorite pieces of LL! official art because it is just so damn gay. It looks like Nozomi is about to pull down Honoka’s bottoms while Eli pulls up Umi’s top and Umi and Honoka touch each other’s butts. And they’re all having a marvelous time.

「謹賀新年」/「ねおん@Neon8086」のイラスト [pixiv]

[humannotallowed]

Man, this took forever to make (practically took half a day).

[humannotallowed]

Right where he belongs…..

[humannotallowed]

I survived the 504 Arda Wigpocalypse November 2k15. I never thought I’d know hope again. Never have I seen this hell.
