“I’m with the Resistance.”

I just celebrated my 8th anniversary of joining Rebel Legion 🧡 I’m so grateful to be able to use my love of cosplay, Star Wars & characters like Rey to support good causes & raise money for charity 🥰

Did you hear today’s Mara Jade news?! Disney Store is releasing Mara Jade’s lightsaber for sale & I’M DYING! It looks beautiful, & I’m so excited to see Star Wars & Disney selling something Mara Jade-related in such a big way. TY @comicbook.com for breaking this news ✨

Hot take: Dark Rey is the realest thing to ever come out of Star Wars

What’s more real than an imaginary version of yourself manifesting all your anxieties & reminding you that you’re just a mistake away from going down the wrong path? That’s as real as it gets for overthinkers like me

“I need someone to show me my place in all of this.“

How is Star Wars Day 2 months away? Ngl, May 4th is like a religious holiday for me 😂 I’m still trying to figure out my plans for May but I’m sure Rey will be part of them 🥰

Maintaining a cosplay drama free zone ✨

Some late night musings I recorded yesterday but after the day I had today, I’m definitely feeling this more than ever. Let’s keep cosplay fun, okay? Cause the rest of life is not so fun sometimes.

My Taylor Swift hot take: Suburban Legends is such an underrated vault track. Maybe because all the 1989 vault tracks are so good it gets overlooked?? But it actually might be my favorite of them; some of the lyrics just speak to me so deeply.

Star Wars loves an enemies to lovers story 🥰

It was great cosplaying Mara Jade & Luke Skywalker w/ my husband for the Valentine’s Couple portion of the Cosmoda Cosplay Runway! 💖✨

BUFFY IS BACK!

A sequel to BTVS is in the works at Hulu w/ SMG & I’m DEAD. So yes, this cosplay photo is old & not great quality, but I had to post, because Buffy is the GOAT & deserves to continue. There’s so much left to explore in the Buffyverse - I can’t wait for more!

ICYMI, Taylor Swift - er, I mean the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl again! ❤️🤍💛

Any other Swifties planning a Taylor Swift-themed Super Bowl party this year or is that just me?? 😜🙃

“It’s always better to prepare for the worst.”

How are we all doing this Mara Monday? It’s certainly been a week….😕 Exactly how many more weeks until January 20, 2029??

“Let go of your hate.”

After last week, we need Luke Skywalker’s message of mercy. Luke is my fav in Star Wars, especially Return of the Jedi, so I loved wearing this genderbent cosplay by sugarpusscostumes at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social

Yup, definitely alarming and worrisome what’s going on

“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Matthew 16:26.

Li Pope @lilipopecosplay.bsky.social · Jan 23

“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:36.

“Mercy” is “compassion…shown especially to an offender or to one subject to one's power.” Antonyms are “cruelty” & “ruthlessness.”

Why are alleged Christians uncomfortable hearing the concept of mercy invoked?

“I get the proverbial bad feeling about this.”

I think the quote speaks for itself today 😔
