I didn't manage to finish everything in my costume before this cosplay event, but even with what I managed to do, I'm generally satisfied.

I had fears that the security might not let me through because of the telescopic baton: the knife was dull (I ground off the cutting edge with a grinder), but the baton was in working order. I don't want to spoil a good thing that has already helped me out a couple of times.

As a result, I decided to pull one trick. I packed my things in a certain way by tying metal parts - helve and chain for attaching my fabric cloth that depicted a swarm of insects - to a backpack with cockroaches.

The backpack was divided into two compartments, one external one, which contained cockroaches, and another internal compartment, closer to the back, for personal items. And that’s where I put the telescopic baton, as well as my other things, including a tin container with food.

Thus, I had a plan consisting of several steps and when the metal detector at the entrance triggered, I went to execute them one by one.

Firstly, I arrived almost at the very beginning of the performances, and the security knew that they were about to start, which created certain time boundaries for me and them.

Of course, they could have resisted and searched more thoroughly, but in front of them was a person who looked like a cosplayer and a participant in the show, who was loaded with a bunch of equipment, and did not look threatening (of course I thought through my civil image and behavior).

People usually tend to think stereotypically, and if your appearance and behaviors generally match their idea of a certain group of people and if this group is perceived by them as not posing a threat, then they will easily attribute you to it, without really thinking about some discrepancy in details.

I needed them to perceive me as a harmless, slightly weird cosplayer (which in general is true, but it wouldn't hurt to strengthen this impression so that it reduces the chances of a more complete search and the discovery of a baton, because they definitely wouldn't let me through with a baton).

And my plan worked.

The guards looked at me condescendingly when the metal detector beeped, looked at each other, and in a bored tone they asked me to show what was in my backpack.

if a supervillain said "you wont kill me thatd make you just like me" i would simply say "no it wouldnt id be saving millions of people" and the villain would say "but youd be dooming yourself. could you really live knowing youre a killer" and id say "well id certainly have trouble. ill probably be very sad about it. definitely a lot to unpack" and theyd say "so you wont do it" and id say "oh no im still gonna" and theyd say "what" and id say "youre a supervillain responsible for countless deaths and yet here you are desperately trying to bargain for your life. you want to live. which means you can easily live with yourself after being responsible for countless deaths. i, on the other hand, will at the very least have tremendous difficulty with even killing just one person and at worst might just jump out a window right after i do it. the very nature of this whole conversation about whether we are the same has proven to me we are very much not the same and i am certain killing you to save millions is the morally correct decision here" and theyd say "what" and id say "get killed idiot"

Ok y’all time to scream. Got myself an early birthday gift by commission the wonderfully talented @bug4932

I loved a recent picture they posted of my favorite character Rachel Lindt, aka Bitch, aka the love of my life. So I asked for a drawing that was pretty similar to that but with a few changes. Not at all surprised to say the end result is perfect and just what I wanted.

I literally burst into tears when they sent the first sketch. And I’m so excited to share it now!!!

yeah i turned your boyfriend into an unreliable narrator. sorry. yeah, he's exaggerating aspects of the story to cast himself in a better light. he's obscuring the narrative he doesn't want to think about. he's misrepresenting others to further his own ends. yeah, i think he's doing it as some sort of emotional defence mechanism. his story cannot be trusted. sorry.

Taylor’s final epiphany

I looked away.

I looked up. My eyes were wet.

So many stars. The universe so vast.

They j-just hate to see a girlboss winning.  

The first bullet hit me from behind, where my mask offered no coverage.
