cranky wizard girl!

the Dungeon Meshi gathering (full name "Dungeon Meshi and other fantasy/food anime," an excellent venn diagram) was the perfect motivator to speed-build Rin's dress and capelet in three weeks without getting in my own head about striving for an uttainable "perfect" state.

i patterned the dress on the fly and it came together very satisfyingly (even with the red lining entirely pieced together from a bundle of scraps), and i didn't have enough continuous fabric to make the capelet ...but i certainly had various swatches, scraps, and cuts of four different fabrics, so that ALSO became a patchwork project!

texturrrreeeeee

#rinsha fana #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi cosplay #cosplay #fun fact the capelet has uhhhh twenty? twenty-two? washers sewn into it (i added more after the first wear to help balance the front)#it sets off metal detectors :(#BUT it drapes the way i want it to & it's a bludgeoning weapon if i get a starting run with enough velocity #surprise! your wizard took a minor in melee combat

🌌 STEVE GETS EVERYTHING’D EVERYWHERE’D ALL AT ONCE’D 🌌

(or: STEVE unlocks a Shenanigans Steve state and gets the TOH adults to dab)

Last day of Anime Los Angeles was truly “I want to be comfy and silly and not wear a wig” and who better to enable that but STEEEEEVE.

Photos by David Harris; rambling under the cut.

Thrifted:

$5 for the yellow “Dog Mama” t-shirt (”Dog Mama” got appliquéd over with red vinyl, which was apparently the only suitable red fabric I had on hand for colour-matching the STEVE logo)

$10 for the black pleather jacket (added cuffs, elbow pads, painted pocket details, and reused the STEVE stencil I made ...for painting another STEVE on the back)

Made (in the span of a very focused week and entirely from stash fabric, s o m e h o w):

Appliqué for the yellow shirt, with cutouts in the red vinyl to have inset white STEVE letters.

White hood dickie.

Edits to the black pleather jacket.

Black velvet jester pants with grey sateen insets + the peeking-out tunic.

Horn prosthetic.

Synergy in the Emperor’s Coven — grabbed a soupy romance novel from the Little Free Library (that I have previously made deposits to) and gave it a ~ new life ~

#the photos are all grainy and dark because ALA assigned the owl house gathering to the FIVE PM TIME SLOT. IN MUD.#steve winning as the easiest mask-wearing experience that weekend (paint on my face BOTH friday and saturday bleh!)#the owl house #the owl house cosplay #steve toh #how do you. how do you tag this guy. ಠ_ಠ #steve tholomule #???? goodness gracious #cosplay #crafting the book ended up being my favourite part! boy howdy do i enjoy fussy little details like that #the yellow cover elements are all cardstock because i didn't want to try layering yellow acrylics to get the right look + detail #and cardstock is easier to manage #the emperor's coven sigil is painted in a hyper-metallic gold paint that i last-minute remembered i had on hand because WHY NOT #i DO have the 'the office' handshake photo on the back ...and a very terrible synergy-jargon book blurb that i spent like 15 min drafting #the book has some mud on a corner now because i dramatically chucked it into a pile of mud. DOWN WITH BELOS #ETA HERE'S A POST FROM FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR that was sitting in drafts because i neglected to ever post it!#whoops. here it is now o__o

thinking about suyin beifong and how she decided to build a family (and a clan of metalbenders; and a gleaming highbrow society of philosphers; and a walled city to protect everyone within) of her own

photos by silver fyre photography

#photos from last year sakuracon 🫣 but HEY better now than never right #suyin beifong #legend of korra #lok cosplay #suyin beifong cosplay #cosplay #listen i got THOUGHTS about suyin #she is NOT a perfect mother or wife or sister or leader #but - much like the rest of the avatar cast - it's the hubris and stubborness that make her an interesting character #she thinks she's the best and that her decisions & opinions are well-grounded and unquestionable #and - she's not entirely wrong; she *is* really good at metalbending and getting people organised and working together #but hoo boy that hubris sure gets her

I made a Beacon for my Duck Newton cosplay! Whoda thunk a sword with a mouth would look so terrifying irl

#i hate that sword; you have done a terrifyingly excellent job #duck newton: *pulls out this godforsaken sword*#the monster of the week: *takes one look and yeets itself back into the unformed collective fabric of the universe*#''sorry i know i had a mission to complete but that is the worst thing i have ever seen byeeeeeee''#the shading and sculpting on that sword are INCREDIBLE #i appreciate how MUNDANE duck looks next to this sword; like - YES - this normal-ass lookin park ranger unloops his belt and it becomes a #freudian skeletor nightmare blade #and you're like - how. why.#he's the child of DE STIN Y ; babey #reblogs

So, The Adventure Zone: Amnesty arc may be the reason I start cosplaying again. We’ll see. A little lady with a flame is kind of the best thing right now.

I found a ballpit at Anime Magic, and that was pretty funny in it's own right (it had a sign with a picture of the DashCon ball pit and text that said "Never Forget"), and I sat in it like the Tumblr trash I am,

but none of that is important, because this photo may contain the best face I've ever made.

I did an Anathema cosplay for a day at SDCC 2019! I saw so many amazing Crowleys & Aziraphales, and I’m sooo glad that Good Omens is this popular that so many people are cosplay them, and people recognizing Anathema from my costume 😇😇

Ryleigh and I were very excited to see Into the Spider-Verse in theaters and actually went twice and feel in love with it. With the costumes, I slowly put things together over time, bout pieces of clothing and the costumes throughout the year. I did my best to make things as screen accurate as I could. I bought and returned about 6 pair of sweatpants to get it right. Cosplay has given us something else to be excited about and to look forward to throughout the year. We love having something else to bond over.

As for suggestions for parents thinking of taking their children to Dragoncon, just go for it! If you and your child have similar geeky interests, start there. If not, start with the Dragon Con parade and see what makes their face light up. Also, it can be very exhausting and overwhelming for a child, so to give them plenty of rest and time to decompress.

Yasha is the first character/cosplay i’ve ever put so much effort into and it felt really good to run around with my friends and take pictures in her.

I definitely have things I want to remake/revise but I LOVED being her and i’m excited to work on her again in the future 💕 Hopefully next time without a sprained ankle so I can do some fullbody shots with the boots haha. thanks @cronassamporna for taking the pics

#OOF that first and last photo ;_____;#sometimes you forget how cool and tragic yasha is #unendingly determined and sad #i hope she finds peace #(also this was a BACkyaRD??? shut UP)#(gods i'd thought you'd gone off into the mountains or something for this extremely cool setting)#eblogs
