Thanks to the cosplayer community I was able to confidently honor my promise to cosplay for the first time ever as Cloud from FF7 at TwitchCon after raising $100k for Hopemas last year. I’ve done that now.

So, guess I need to come up with a new stretch goal and milestone for Hopemas this year now?

You too! Grateful to have you as such a wonderful supporter of Project HOPE and partner in doing good. Each time you stopped by the booth gave me a boost of positive energy!

Excellent, thank you for taking the time to share some tips! I have the got2b gel and hairspray, and got some other advice to get the wig wet to help mold it. I think I'm ready to try and make this happen!

Putting this help request out to all you cosplayers!

I'm working on the final phase of my first cosplay debut as Cloud from FF7 Rebirth at TwitchCon.

But how can I do a decent job creating his spikes for the blonde wig I've got? I have two wigs in case I mess up.

Any advice?

This is what happens when I discover slide shows in OBS... Also, I switched up my just chatting scene.

I made my own twitch channel to stream for fun. Laid-back, easy-going, playing RPGs like Final Fantasy, platformers, IRL things like drawing and legos.

It's an outlet to be fully me: creative, silly, weird, authentic. I hope it gives anyone who stops by permission to do the same!

It's so strange, when TwitchCon approaches and Hopemas planning gets underway, I get the urge to stream again.

I think it's time to do some Project HOPE streams leading up to TwitchCon. Time to ideate on content! 🤔
