I love the passive aggressive "even if your make up is flawless, cosplayers should be wearing contact lenses to look better, but only if your eyes are normal tee hee bc ppl have {valid fucking reasons for not using contacts}"

Photoshop. Exists.

Please expand your narrow concept of cosplay.

I'm fairly new to 3D printing as a technique (I've given all my skill points have been towards Fabric Meistering); trying to get the cufflinks made through exclusively public services (via libraries) has been a fascinating journey this year

All my prints are failures so far. #🪡

Getting the strips on was a pain in the ass, and most of it had to be tacked by hand. No pics of that process because I kept bleeding all over EVERYTHING despite having thimbles and whatnot.

Meanwhile I vectorized and scaled the Bridges logo, used a freezer paper stamp method to stamp #🪡

what I found the most annoying was the ratio of the width of the stripes on Bridges uniforms. I thought I could get away with some left over ribbon, and then cover that in a layer of sparkly vinyl. It was too much of a hassle and I ended up going "meh" and cutting corners. It's not that deep. #🪡

Whatever compounds and dye process that Lee's jean coveralls go through, despite every tag saying 100% cotton, I could not bleach/lighten the twill, even with direct bleach on the thing. I spent SO MANY rounds of lightener ratios, tea baths, sun... the only thing that kinda worked: iDyepoly :/ #🪡

The nighmare starts with this goddamn jumpsuit. While I did have a pattern kicking around... somewhere... I think... I also couldn't be bothered to sew it up, especially when I lucked out and found one for literally a quarter?

Little did I know, this one piece was going to give me the most grief...

🧵 I've been slowly working on Mama from #DeathStranding through the year. It's not particularly accurate, for reasons you'll... understand

Asking for $1k for a "cosplay oriented" embroidery digitizing software feels a bit diabolical. More so at the ad targeting. I ain't made of money; I can barely afford needles, thread, and a trip to the "local" makerspace 20 miles away

Anyway pls support FOSS projects /1

I should also note, lobster bustle over circle was a practical consideration (read: doorway hassles) and a travel consideration (limited space in my luggage. doing pleating without a mannequin sucks ass. I know the sins I committed.

I should fix her and get good photos aaaa~ not in summer~

(it was the masquerade!Margaret, if anyone is wondering)
I think I def needed more padding elsewhere, and I still need to fix the lobster tail bustle bc the boning I used was literally too weak for the weight of the skirts.

Victorian-esque finally getting checked off the list felt SO GOOD tho~

ya know, sometimes I question my life decisions around making some dress/coord cosplay, and then I check the sticker on at least one piece and think "...ok yeah, I really am paying myself to do this. it doesn't even come remotely in my size, lmao"

(the bones bent bad on the bustle 🥲) #🪡

I hate everything about this logo. It's sooooo fucked up, it bothers me... Sanity is being actively lost....

maybe me finally achieving my dream cosplay (Yusei) really comes down to NOT being intimidated by Kamen Rider cosplay, then doing Helmet/Grand Prix version, and ONLY THEN tackling infamous YGO hair/helmet wig...
August 4, 2025 at 2:55 AM
it's so over-
Yeah. Hanto had a whole white chocodan gun. it's only Gavv that has the two-sided chocodan gun ;v;

this may be a problem for later me....

I hate it here.

I've had a needle break and slap me in the glasses and even THAT did not feel as dangerous/challenging as this, wtf...

Anyway.
Lesson learned. Foam core is life....
