hello I was wondering if you can do a step on step on how you made the shadow shoes because Im planing on doing shadow for a cosplay in the future and I don't know how to make the shoes so that would be great if you can do a step on step tutorial on it

Absolutely! :)

First pair I made- I found these side zip-up boots that I painted with white acrylic paint (don't do that. It WILL flake off)

Everything else is 5 or 2mm EVA foam that I painted and glued on with either superglue or hot glue.

I don't have a pattern I can share, since this totally depends on your specific shoes, but the shapes are pretty straightforward!

These shoes actually held up REALLY well, minus the white paint which cracked horribly and there was absolutely no fixing it, although I tried.

If you paint pleather like this, you need to use a pleather specific paint, like angelus leather paint OR find a pair of shoes that has a more fabric-y texture and use either fabric paint or acrylic paint mixed with textile medium. Anything else will likely flake off.

I bought a new pair which had a more fabric-like texture and painted it with textile medium and acrylic paint. For this pair I wanted to build up the thickness of the toes, so I also added 2mm EVA foam.

Blending it with just paint ended up being difficult, so I scrapped that and glued white fabric on top of both the shoe and EVA foam. This step is totally unnecessary, but if you do this try to keep in mind where your foot flexes to minimize the EVA foam rubbing or bending too much.

These are the shoes after a full con day- no peeling or chipping this time! (The fabric isn't perfectly smooth but that's my fault- it's also not noticeable unless you really look up close at it)

Also, the gold bands are attached to the front with velcro to make the shoes easier to take on and off :) I hope this helps! lmk if you have any questions!

When entering any place of business, such as a store or restaurant, if a staff member greets you, then acknowledge them and greet them back.

Although for many jobs it's a required part of their job to greet you, especially retail workers, receptionists, and restaurant workers to name a few, that doesn't make it feel any less dehumanizing to say "Hello!" to another human being only for them to ignore you. Acknowledging staff members and greeting them back is important for acknowledging their humanity, they are, after all, a human being, and not an automated machine.

This is also important when going to check out at a store. If you approach the cash register, and the cashier greets you, you should acknowledge them and greet them back. Cashiers already have to deal with being dehumanized enough. The least you can do is help humanize them by acknowledging them when they greet you and speak to you.

this has been rattling around in my mind like a marle in an empty soda can, so I remember the "two bumbling lesbians in charge of an international power" and the only conclusion my mind can make outta that means Marinette fucking dupain-cheng and Lila "EU-brand CIA" Rossi is president and vice president respectively and thought "hey that would be good" and then I remembered that this whole au is [i assume] named after THE terror and I believe now the ladybug/Marinette presidency is the biggest shitshow in french history

YOURE ALMOST RIGHT ANON ! unfortunately for the french its a different pair of bumbling lesbians who have taken reign of the country....

the injustice of the rat grinders technically playing by the rules and getting lauded for it because they have discipline and are generally Good at School vs the bad kids literally saving the world every other day and having to play catch-up to be acknowledged for it. the way that public school only caters to people who are good at "playing the game" of the education system and anyone that can't function how the school deems you should under its strict policies and conditions is tossed aside and called a failure. how are we feeling, american public school survivors?

How did you do the gloves for your Shadow cosplay?

Those are old woodwind marching band gloves, lol. For the gold bands and red tabs, that's EVA foam that I sculpted and painted. It's one single piece that velcros onto the ends of the leather jacket- that way, everything stays in place.
