I'm excited to be a staff member at #TwitchCon this week! I've volunteered and paneled at other anime and comic cons, but this is my first time at a Twitch event. The show is already looking great today, especially the event setup for spooky 🎃 events!

I volunteered to help run @cosplayforscience.bsky.social's #Pokemon science education booth at LA Comic Con at the end of September! These were my 3 👻 trainer cosplays: the original hex maniac trainer design from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, mimikyu, and the newer hex maniac design from X/Y onward

These #RunDisney #Brooks shoes are perfect for running a science education booth as a ghost #Pokemon trainer! I'm at LA Comic Con this weekend with an org called Cosplay for Science 😁

I completed the #RunDisney Chills and Thrills Challenge with @hillingsama.bsky.social @eviefire.bsky.social @courtofcosplays.bsky.social and others last weekend! We ran in #TwistedWonderland / #Twst cosplays and went to Disneyland and CA Adventure to celebrate 🎃

Running the half with you was so much fun, and it also gave me strength and motivation! We got some great Lilia and dragon pics from cast members too 😁🐉🦇

A friend gave me this adorable handmade Prof. Divus Crewel plushie at #AnimeExpo! ☺️ I'm bringing it with me whenever I cosplay him in the future. It was clearly made with a lot of passion for #TwistedWonderland / #twst!

An amazing pic of @hillingsama.bsky.social and me as Prof. Trein and Prof. Crewel from Twisted Wonderland! We took it at the Aniplex 20th anniversary booth at Anime Expo. Pic is by our friend Mari. #twst #twistedwonderland #AnimeExpo #AX2025 #cosplay #disney

I'm close to the front of the Ai Gate with Ei! 😁 (South Hall line.) I'm attending main event panels all day today at #AnimeExpo. #AX2025 #AX

Yae Miko got Ei out of the house to see the American #AnimeExpo anime festival! This is an actual Texan hat too from the Wimberly store in Round Top ☺️ #GenshinImpact #YaeMiko #RaidenShogun

This is my official time from running my first half marathon yesterday at the #RnRSanDiego event! I did the Jeff Galloway walk-jog method and walked up steep hills to keep myself injury-free because my longest training run was only 6.5 miles 😅 I'll be fully prepped for the RunDisney 🎃 Half!

Thanks to the walk-jog Galloway Method (and walking up Hillcrest Hills 😉) I finished my 1st half marathon despite only having training runs up to 6.5 miles! I almost gave up on the SD Rock 'n' Roll Half because DOGE laid me off in January, but I'm so glad I persisted! Next: the RunDisney 🎃 Half!

RFK Jr's bizarre claims that 3 US medical research journals aren't trustworthy and his threat to prevent US researchers from publishing in them would destroy medical research. Attacking these journals affects all of us because peer review is how science works. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm deeply disturbed by RFK Jr saying that US medical researchers should publish in "state-run" journals. Before I was laid off by DOGE, my job was a combo of Asta in #HonkaiStarRail and Alhaitham in #GenshinImpact, and I used to teach like Crewel in #twst. I managed research studies at a hospital.

OMGGG I haven't seen that one yet! That's hilarious 🤣 I can't wait to see Trein trying to fly with Lucius

I black framed him! I had 680+ rolls saved + 7 perfumes and managed to get him fully uncapped in 200 rolls. He's my fave 😁

... Or so he says, ignoring the catlike creature on the other side of the room 😹 #TwistedWonderland #twst #DivusCrewel

Prof. Crewel's 3rd 🔥 move is so satisfying 😁 He crits and allows the teammates to crit too! Poor Malleus failed his exam here; better luck next time, Hornton #TwistedWonderland #twst

He's so polite in the guest room, but his sarcasm when he sees people he has known for a long time reminds me of a mischievous dog that does playful bites. His interactions with Trein, Crowley, and the barista in his vignettes are so funny

The #TwistedWonderland English translators / localizers did a fantastic job at showing Prof. Crewel's biting sarcasm. Here are a few rare history lesson lines where he pokes at Prof. Trein. 😂 The story behind this is that NRC staff can take lessons too for professional development. #twst

Hello puppies, I have groovied Prof. Crewel, set him to his 🌿 duo spell and his 3rd 🔥 spell, and leveled up his friendships as much as I could with 🫖. Best of luck in your battles! (Also, I've always headcanoned that he's a werewolf, and... maybe he is? He growls! 😮) #twst #TwistedWonderland

Hello, puppies! Prof. Divus Crewel is my favorite #TwistedWonderland character! I'm so excited that I was able to fully uncap him with my meticulously saved rolls and SSR perfumes as a F2P player. Good luck with your Arcane Combat drills, and you may call upon me for assistance, if you wish. 🐾
