🗡️ LVL 36 USA West Coast Cosplayer 🏹 Current WIP: Repairs and updates 🛡️ Cosplay Build Threads https://linktr.ee/brownmanticore

I've decided to take a social media break. I'm not sure of the length just yet, but I'm aiming for 3-12 months. SM feels like a chore right now, the main reason for the hiatus. I did decide however that I'll be deleting my Bluesky permanently. While lovely, BS just isn't for me.

When the 3d printer suddenly acts up after printing something just fine and you must spend hours trying to remember how to run tests and in what sequence and discover the probe height is mysteriously high but also one side of the print bed seems weirdly off and this is Christmas damnit-

2025 sucked for many of us and while I worry, I certainly hope it gets better. I didn't get a lot made this year, just one full cosplay and a few side projects. I'm hoping next year I can craft more AND enter horse shows! My 2025 accomplishments and my 2026 goals!

2025 achievements:

I'm now in Masters category!?

Finished the Gerudo and sand seal

My horse, Mo, got high point in halter and won a buckle.

Went to 4 of 5 planned conventions. 

Made three wigs with all different technical skills.Cosplay resolutions for 2026:

Photoshoots with my husband

Make more props

Get comfortable with armor/prop patterning

Craft more, dream less

Finally make Satori lol

Just finished Digimon: Time Stranger and I can say a) best Digimon game I've personally played and b) while not the best jrpg I sure had a lot of fun. I've never been the most dedicated Digimon fan but I really love the designs and had so much fun discovering new Digimon.

Hi, I need recommendations for new lights for my craft room, possibly for craft streaming as well. I'm thinking of Neewer panel lights as I've heard those are good, especially if I can get some that attach to booms so I can place them over my work area. But recs would be highly welcome.

Giving serious thought to taking a year off from social media. It would kinda break my heart because I love seeing my mutuals and their work. Some folks I would miss talking to, celebrating for, etc. Not having access to photographer and con updates would also be a little tough.
