shoutout to any other cosplayers who are too tired/busy to dress up for Halloween this year. it's okay to take a break and relax instead, especially when you participate in costuming year-round. maybe use it as an opportunity to celebrate Halloween a different way for a change!

A dad came to the bridal boutique with his daughter for her first appointment to support her since her mother had passed away earlier that year. When she stepped out in her first gown, he gasped very softly, teared up, and whispered, "Oh, sweetie, you look like Arwen."

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but it's okay if you're not using this time at home to churn out a bunch of cosplay progress. If you get through this period of quarantine without having a ballgown or full set of armor to show for it at the end, you haven't "wasted time."

More Anastasia twirling! I was debating whether 10k rhinestones would be worth it in the end, but seeing the way they catch the light is reassuring that all those late-night application sessions amounted to something!

I came out to my little brother tonight and he accepted me without hesitation. We hugged it out and within a few hours we've connected more deeply as siblings than we have in about 10 years.
It feels like I can breathe a little bit more. Just wanted to share the good vibes. ♡

Making costumes, especially those that defy the conventional laws of garment construction, is not easy. Regardless of what you finish for a con, the fact that you're attempting to craft is fantastically ambitious. Remember that when you get frustrated and want to berate yourself.

Sometimes making a cosplay seems like a :60-second clip of flawless crafting execution, but most often it's characterized by 8 hours of trying to figure out a single detailing technique and constantly shouting, "WHY DO I RUIN EVERYTHING I TOUCH"

LRT: The skirt change for Tifa is my favorite aspect of her new design, solely because every Tifa cosplayer has had the universal experience of trying to do Literally Anything in the original skintight leather miniskirt and yelling, "How is she supposed to fight in this?!"

If, as a content creator, you share an idea with trusted friends and they tell you it will be controversial/offensive to post, perhaps, maybe... listen to their advice? Or, at the very least, if you ignore their warning... don't be surprised when it turns out they were right?

If you've tried to make a thing for Katsucon, whether or not you finished it, good job. A++. It's a high-pressure event in the cosplay community and bucking up the courage to challenge your costuming skills isn't easy. The effort alone is commendable! That'll do, Pig, that'll do.

Latenight thoughts:
- I'm excited to walk outside and feel warmth.
- Someone's "comfort show" divulges quite a bit about who they are.
- Fandoms are exhausting. I don't know when it became that way.
- One of the best things in life is listening to someone talk about their OC.

If you witness sexual harassment at a convention:
- Contact the staff or security team immediately.
- If it's safe to do so, intervene; ask a friend to assist you if possible.
- Get the victim away from the harasser.

I've been taking a little break from Carbuncle to work on an original costume of my D&D monk, a wood elf named Narya! It's been so creatively stimulating to sew something just for the heck of it and not have to worry about accuracy or anything like that. *___*

pros of selling old costumes:
- more storage space
- $$$
cons of selling old costumes:
- wanting to attend a convention and realizing you have nothing to wear that fits the theme of said convention, but would if you hadn't sold old costumes
