Cosplay is as much a part of San Diego Comic-Con as, well.. comic books. The annual “celebration of the popular arts” attracts nearly a quarter of a million people both inside the convention center and in the surrounding “Gaslamp” district. Quite a few brave the summer heat and put on costumes inspired by their favorite fandom. Marvel and DC superheroes rub elbows with video game icons and television characters. And, then there are the mashups, genderbent and just plain unique creations from the wearer’s imagination.

This year, it seemed like there were fewer cosplayers, but that may be mistaken. Deadpool was still very popular with various incarnations strolling about, but there were noticeably fewer Joker and Harley Quinn impressions. While the variations on that theme have often been clever and very well done over the years, it often felt as if one could not go 50 feet without running into a green-haired maniac and his domino-clad squeeze.

While other outlets and channels may be content to focus on the professionals and the obvious eye candy for their coverage, this article is going to take a look at the individuals who stood out for being different. The broadening of pop culture characters has allowed more people to find an impression that appeals to them. Moana, Black Panther and Steven Universe, for example have shown that representation matters – and it is being embraced.

And, for folks who could not necessarily get around the convention under their own power, many cleverly incorporated their transport into their cosplay with fun and fantastic results.

Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is still a popular source of inspiration. It has only grown since The Force Awakens was released. The principle characters have gotten older (haven’t we all) and a more diverse group of heroes has joined the cause. In 2016, hundreds of little girls, and their older sisters, dressed as Rey as they swarmed through the exhibit halls alongside pint-sized Luke Skywalker Jedis. Now, a fan doesn’t have to look like “generic cantina alien #3” to be recognized as a character. Finn, Rose and Poe inspire a new generation just as Han, Luke and Leia did. And speaking of the original heroes, “mature” fans don’t have to try to look like the 20-something incarnation, but can successfully pull off their appearance in the later films.

Star Trek

There was a noticeable lack of Klingons, but they may have been cloaked and were missed. DS9, TOS and the earlier movies had their fans, however. If there were Star Trek: Discovery impressions, this writer missed them.

Disney

With nearly 90 years of entertainment, it’s not a surprise that The Mouse would inspire its own set of fans separate from Marvel and Lucasfilm. A number of Disney princesses were out and about, as were those inspired by theme park rides and, of course, the heroes and villains of all ages.

Other Films

Of course, there is more to cinema than just Disney properties – even if it does feel that way sometimes. Some fans went for the true classics, including Mad Max, Yellow Submarine, Beetlejuice and Judge Dredd.

Old school Mad Max and Warrior Woman

Yes, Lilu has her multipass

Tintin’s off on another adventure

Blue Meanie

Ah! Ah! Ah! Don’t say the “B-word”

Tank Girl

They are the law!

It’s a big Steven Universe

The animated show has proven to be very popular with multiple impressions of Steven and his friends out and about. The number of those inspired – both young and young at heart earns them a separate recognition.

Steven Universe – and he knows how to play that.

Steven Universe, Mario and friends.

Rose Quartz and Garnet

Other Television

Game of Thrones, Handmaids Tale, Dragon Ball Z and other shows proved fertile ground for friends and families alike.

Snickare Bees - bli av med dessa Pesky Buggers

En dag satt jag på min främre stup och märkte en hög med färsk sågspån under ett perfekt runt hål i timmen runt mitt garagefönster. "Älskling, du borrar ett hål ut här av någon anledning?" Jag ringde till min man. "Nej", han höll tillbaka, och vi båda tittade närmare på att försöka lista ut vad som händer. Varför skulle någon borra ett hål i vår fönsterram? Det var inte meningslöst. Vi lärde huvudet, och min man fyllde hålet med trästock, målade det och glömde det. Var den om det hålet, med sin höjd av sågspån, inte uppstod de närmaste dagarna. Den här gången fortsatte vi bara att titta och se och se, upptäckte att hålet inte hade gjorts med en borr och lite. Nej, det hålet hade borrats av en bie! En Snickare Bromma Bee faktiskt. En Vad? Jag hade aldrig hört talas om dessa tuffa skadedjur innan.

Men under de följande veckorna fortsatte vi att hitta dessa lilla, exakt samma storlek, perfekt borrade hål överallt - från husets trim ... till däcket - från stucco trimmen på ytterdörren ... till fönstret lådor tillbaka. Faktum är att jag en dag förbereder blomlåda för vårplantering. Jag fastnade min lilla skovel i smutsen i en låda för att bli attackerad av en svärma av arga snickare bin. De hade borrat genom fönster kolvens botten och satt upp en stor klyfta under förra säsongens uttorkade smuts! Även om jag bara fick ett litet sting, räddade jag mig halvt ihjäl, och jag har inget emot att säga det - det fick min hud att krypa! Okej. Nu var det krig. Först fick jag ta reda på lite mer om min fiende.

Snickare Bees ser ut som vanliga humla bin, förutom att de har svarta glänsande undersidor. Även om manen kan buzza om att vara aggressiv och territoriell, kan bara tjejerna sticka. Snickare Bees gräva in i trä och bilda långa tunnlar med en bok eller bikupa i slutet. Ibland förbinder tunnlarna. Till skillnad från termiter äter de inte egentligen träet, även om de ibland använder bitar för att bilda "väggar" inuti sina bonusar eller nästlar. Den initiala skadorna kan tyckas ytligt, eftersom de tunnlar nära ytan. Men lämnade okontrollerade, som termiter, kan de göra betydande skador på ditt hem över tiden. Deras växande nätverk av tunnlar och bon kan allvarligt skada träets styrka och utseende i ditt hem. Och eftersom de gillar att återvända till var de föddes, för att odla, lämnade oskyddade under flera årstider, kunde ditt hem vara belägna från flera generationer av Snickare Bees som återvänder till din plats för deras årliga Snickare Bromma Bee familjeåterförening.

Döda dessa Pesky Snickare Bees och hålla dem från att komma tillbaka: Så här. Placera och sätt i alla ingångshålen med en gummiliknande typ av Caulking, (inte träspackel). Ett intressant fakta om Snickare Bees-det är inte så smart. Om du kopplar upp entrén till tunneln / boet kommer de inte ens att försöka komma ut. De kommer bara stanna där och dö så småningom. Men deras farbror kan försöka att tunna tillbaka in. Därför använder du gulaktigt eller silikon bindning. Kom ihåg historien om garage fönstret ovanför? Tja, vi upptäckte att de kan begrava sig genom träspackel - duh-det härdar som trä och de kan borra rätt genom det. I grund och botten kan du inte använda den om du kan sanda. Men de hatar gummiblandning. Texturen tillåter inte att de tränger igenom. I extrema fall kan du behöva klippa ut den skadade delen och ersätta den. Under alla omständigheter målar man alltid tillbaka med flera lager av bra emaljfärg - de hatar emalj, men som vattenbaserad latex. Med denna metod behöver du inte alls någon bekämpningsmedel. Men när vi gör det har vi alltid en burk av insektsmedel runt för att hantera några bin som kan buzz runt utanför boet.

Om du hittar en Nest använder du en Potent Bee, Hornet och Wasp Spray. Om du vet att du kommer att attackera ett stort bo är det bäst att vidta lämpliga försiktighetsåtgärder. Tidig kväll är det en bra tid att göra en smygattack, eftersom de flesta kommer tillbaka i boet och de är lite långsammare och mjuka ut runt den här tiden. Bee happy hour antar jag. Täcka dig så mycket som möjligt (långärmade, långa byxor, slutna skor etc.) Jag skulle ha på sig en av de engångsmasker som finns på den säkra sidan. Det blir gott skydd mot bin och rök från sprutan. Ha minst 2 burkar med en stark Bee, Hornet och Wasp pesticid praktiskt. Spraya direkt in i hålet / tunneln eller mätta nestet så mycket som möjligt. Du kommer förmodligen att få en svärm av mycket störda Snickare Bees som flyger ut så att det kan ha hand och spruta tills ingenting kvar surrar eller rör sig. Vänta en timme, så undersök skadan och sopa upp döden. Nästa dag, försiktigt förstöra boet om det är tillgängligt. Eller sätt ihop hålet precis som du gjorde ovan. Jag läste någonstans att du kunde dammsuga Snickare Bees ur boet. Jag vet inte om dig, men jag skulle inte försöka med mitt hushålls vakuum. Det låter som någonting definitivt lämnat till proffs.

Det bästa sättet att hålla Snickare Bees Away är att måla. I något trä runt ditt hem med kvalitetsfärg. När din yttre färg är tunn, sliten eller chipping eller latex, lämnar du dig själv sårbar mot giriga Snickare Bees samt minskar marknadsvärdet på ditt hem och andra hem på din gata. Lite underhållsarbete kommer att gå långt. Skydda dig själv, skydda ditt hem. Skaffa Snickare Bees från dina träd. Snickare Bromma Bee angrepp kan skada och till och med döda dina träd. Lyckligtvis är processen för att bli av med dem ganska lätt. Köp ett gott torkmedel. Detta är ett pulver som förstör insektens yttre skelett och torkar sedan bokstavligen upp dem tills de dör. Det är bra att använda här, eftersom det inte kommer att skada ditt träd. Fyll tunnel hålet i stort sett med damm. Anslut sedan hålet med en avsmalnande kork, för att hålla i dammet och hålla bort buggar i flera år. Du märker några nya hål eftersom de inte kommer att vara korkade. Det kommer att göra det enklare att identifiera och behandla alla nya tunnlar.
