"Babe I'm scared." "Don't worry you'll be fine. I'll be here when you come out" I come out of my my destiel surgery. "Wait Putin said he would be here." One of the doctors approaches me with a stick of dynamite . "Why, who do you think gave you blue Georgia."
When cons come back can we ditch the "Oh you didn't hang out with me long at a convection clearly you don't like me or mad at me" mantra? Like it's a convention bud I'm always on the move doing shit, I don't got time to be stationary unless it's scheduled in advance lmao
As cons start coming back, please remember to put your financial stability before conventions. They are costly matters when you factor in: cosplays, travel, hotels, photoshoots, and con badge fees.
I may not have the muscles to look conventionally attractive as a guy, but fuck it. I didn’t overcome years of self hatred to just give up having fun being cute.
Oh my god I didn’t expect to get this much love on this!! Thank you so much for the kind words and support! I have to thank

@mxlkcircus
for gifting me a lot of these pieces and I’m beyond grateful!! 😭💖💖💖 If you ever need a model for your lolita indie brands hmu
You aren’t going to get “discovered” at an anime convention. It’s a delusion to think you’ll suddenly become a famous full time cosplayer by just being princess peach # 2 out of 30.
Friendly Reminder that there is no such thing as “best ____ cosplay”. Whether it’s crafted, bought, or thrifted; a cosplay is a cosplay. You can be 99% accurate or do your own twist on it and it does not matter.
I believe that there does exist over consumption in the cosplay community. There’s nothing against buying cosplays but when you are mass buying 5-10 cosplays a month just for content that you aren’t making revenue off of feels way too much like fast fashion.
So my Celestia Ludenberg cosplay just won best in show

Hot take, if you are doing a group cosplay at a con, you owe it to yourself to do what’ll make you happy. Not so much as convent for the group. Your time matters and is important. Dont just fill a slot for the sake of fitting in if it won’t make you happy to be x character.

Hey can we stop shaming cosplayers for their heights? It pisses me off when randos tell folks they are too tall or too small for characters. Especially if the characters are unrealistic sizes.
I used to be so unsure if I should seem “professional” on social media but then I remembered I make zero dollars and zero cents for my content. So along with all the cosplay and lolita stuff you also get my whole ass personality here and you know what good for you. 😌
Small brain: Making a cosplay you can fit into.
Bigger brain: Making a cosplay you are comfortable in.
Galaxy brain. Making a cosplay you can throw in the laundry without fucking it up.
Happy birthday to my very special boy!!! I post the same photos and videos of Linhardt every year but I love them so much. This cosplay was such a labor of love that no other cosplay I’ve made has given me such a happy feeling. Love this green little guy
Lolita Fashion is one of the most important things in my life. It’s made me feel confidence in myself and has brought me so many wonderful friends and memories. I refuse to let it be tarnished as something that it isn’t.
I may not have won anything but I spent tonight with my dearest friends, watching fantastic crafters, and knowing that somewhere out there I inspired someone to cosplay their best self. Thank you everyone whose supported me through this whole thing. 🥰🥰❤️

Also side note, don't project your loneliness on to someone???? I can't be your emotional support cosplayer who needs to be with you 24/7 or else you'll be lonely. Plan your con accordingly and consensually. Don't just assume one person will be there all the time.
Fellow cosplayers, how do you shake the feeling that you have to make bigger builds to be seen as worth your salt? I want to be a better craftsman but it feels like if I’m not making anything large than life than I won’t be taken as seriously.
2012: Go to your first convention ever at Tora-Con.
2022: Cerebrate a decade of cosplay by guesting at Tora-Con.
This has been such an honor and I’ve been so excited to finally talk about this!!!! 😭😭😭😭
We're happy to welcome
