Granite Con day one down! I spent most of the day doing prejudging for all the cosplay contestants so I didn’t get to see much of the venue today, but we had a fabulous turnout and some amazing winners!
(And yes, I painted fangs on my mask for Astarion 😂)

A few months ago I did an Astarion make up test, I've since finished my cosplay of his camp clothes but I'm still so happy with how these photos turned out! I had so much fun making a little Astarion tent set up in my room!
Ready to fight. 🗡️🦇 Astarion fanart based on @muraki_cosplay (Instagram account)♥️ Thank you for the amazing inspiration, your cospalys are amazing ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
HHH HII I don't always put my cosplay shit on tumblr because it's slightly scawy but I went to mcm london today, had a great time, have a big boost of confidence, so here's some Silly Hotel Pictures (I have actual Shoot Pictures that I will probably show another time)
I am very proud of this cosplay, all of it is handmade
A fun transition video for Astarion! I was genuinely surprised that I ended up loving this look as much as I do, and the hours of leatherwork were so worth it!
"I should probably start getting used to the shadows again. Who knows how long I have left in the sun?"
Thanks everyone for the insane reception to my Astarion, thought I'd better share some proper photos from when I wore his finished camp clothes to Fantasy Forest in July!

I have but ONE pic that like enough of my Astarion cosplay
I’m not even posing, and it is embarrassing as fuck
I’d like to remind y’all that is was 36 degrees hot (95 Fahrenheit) and I had FAKE LEATHER PANTS
Ah and from this magnificent fair I did not buy anything but I brought home a fantastic DERMATITIS thank you very much
So to ALL Astarion cosplayers: don’t wear the pants if it’s hot. It’s not just the heat, it’s the heat, the sweat, the dust, everything will collect in those pants.
I know what you’re thinking: “if he can do it I can do it too!!!”
No darling.
Our beloved vampire does not have a heartbeat, he does not sweat. But JUST LIKE US he does not like the concentrated power of the SUN in his pants, for a whole day.
You want to wear a good cosplay? Find a cotton alternative for the pants. Or suffer the consequences like me. It’s been 2 days of dermatitis, I got some medicine prescribed today :) I want to kill the sun
