"It does matter, if it matters to you."
Thank you @sbslink . With the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I have been struggling to cope with a lot the last days and I really wanted to share this group shot but everything and everyone didn't want me to share it. Especially my own monkey brain.
Here is the result of a random idea I had two summers ago. And the result of sewing tiny uniforms the past 5 months.
Your own mind is a beast and mine is Godzilla right now and it doesn't get easier. I won't get into details here but yeah, it matters to me and when it matters to me it's worth something.
Progress for the last two uniforms will follow within the next weeks I had the silly idea to get them complete for the anniversary like... last week. After I can out of material for cosplay. hah... yeah.. but i made it.

Social media to write a plea in what he acknowledged was sloppy English, asking for assistance in diagnosing her illness. It was one of China's first attempts at crowdsourcing, written on one of the few wired computer terminals then available in the country.
The accomplished student who could play the Guqin (Chinese classical music) and showed so much promise in life was now rapidly deteriorating into someone unrecognizable to her friends.
required round-the-clock care from her aging parents.
has never been released in China.
Though no one has ever been arrested in the case, Zhu's parents are convinced they know the culprit's identity. During the initial police investigation, a classmate and roommate of Zhu's, a woman named Sun Wei, emerged as a prime suspect. Sun held authorized access to thallium compounds at her chemistry lab and had ample opportunities to poison Zhu in their dorm room. Sun was ultimately released due to a lack of definitive evidence, according to law enforcement officials, and Sun has denied any involvement in Zhu's illness.
However, Zhu Ling's supporters are convinced that Sun had plausible motives. They allege that she was jealous of Zhu's academic success, musical talent, and physical attractiveness. Zhu's father also alleges that the police were unwilling to pursue Sun because her family had powerful political connections: Her grandfather, Sun Yueqi, was a high-ranking Chinese official, and one of Sun's father's cousins, Sun Fuling, was a former vice mayor of Beijing.
Incidents of poisoning involving thallium and other rare chemicals occurred in several of China's most esteemed universities in the years after Zhu fell ill. But most of these cases were solved swiftly and the culprits brought to justice. Zhu's mother couldn't help noticing that none of those suspects came from politically well-connected families like Sun's.
Zhu's case was one of the earliest in China in which the internet played a major role in motivating people to come to the assistance of a stranger. Calls for justice for Zhu have surged from time to time, mirroring a hopeful belief that the internet and free-flowing information could turn China into a transparent civic society. In August 1998, even President Bill Clinton extended solace to Zhu's parents. "I'm so glad that the Internet helped to save your daughter's life and enabled Americans and people all over the world to send you messages of support," he wrote in a letter to Zhu Ling's parents.
At the time, Clinton believed that online media would transform China into a more open and democratic place, arguing that attempting to control the internet would be like "trying to nail Jell-O to the wall."
But today, it seems the Jell-O has been stuck securely to the wall as the Chinese authorities exert tight control over the internet. Updates about Zhu's family still captivate the nation on occasion, igniting public outcry and demands for accountability. But those expressions of support for her family or calls for justice typically fade away quickly due to censorship. In the weeks after her death, some social media posts about it were deleted, accounts devoted to her case were temporarily suspended, and search results on her name were restricted.
*Sun Wei was the only one with access to the poison. It's reported that Sun Wei has moved to either the U.S. or Australia and changed her name to Shiyan Sun/Sun Shiyan, or Jasmine Kosloski (her second husband's family name)/Jasmine Sun.
The reports are that she lives in Australia.
Also that she does real estate work and she and her husband (Feiyu Xle) are property developers.
Zhu Ling had three other roommates and alleged accomplices to the crime:
Jin Ya - one of the roommates, after earning a bachelor's degree from Tsinghua University, later worked at the university founded by Sun Wei's grandfather.
Wang Qi/Gang Xue - immigrated to the U.S. Now works at Amgen Pharmaceutical in Boston.
Hanlin Li - immigrated to the U.S. Now works at Vertex Pharmaceutical, Boston.
