I have lived in my house for over a year now and only just found out there is a dimming option for the ceiling light in my bedroom.

Am I Tifa Lockhart shaped? No, but I can do pull ups while dressed as Tifa so that’s something, right? Alternatively: I said I could get a Tifa costume once I could finally do 5 pull ups and guess who finally managed that the other month! (Instagram liked this so BlueSky is gonna get it too.)

Hello and welcome back to Recipes With Bria: aka recipes I found, made, found easy to do, and would make again. This just required chopping up some vegetables and was prepped for the oven in about the time it took to preheat it. therealfooddietitians.com/sheet-pan-gn...

Cannot believe that Fire Emblem made guns canon while going "It's a gauntlet actually *WINK*" and my DM for our FE3H DnD game said my character couldn't have one 😔🤣

Mentally, I am here:

Unfortunately, I cannot be in way, shape, or form normal about Bellara.

A thing about me is that if you invite me to a game in a new-to-me TTRPG system, I will actually read the book/player’s manual. In other news, guess who’s (finally) reading the Player Core for Starfinder 2e tonight

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

The UNO card meme but it's me when it comes to multiclassing in DnD

lmao my craft room/office looks like a small bomb went off because I just yeeted my costumes off of me when I got home both days and left stuff lying around. That's tonight's problem.

I have technically gotten out of bed and forced myself to eat breakfast but now I am back in bed because whew boy are cons a lot especially when you don't have a hotel room to take breaks in.

Wore Dancer Ingrid to the con today. Admtitedly, she's not a character most people make their Dancer. However. # of times someone complimented my friend as Felix and didn't say a word acknowledging I was right there: 7 # of times someone said "Nice Dancer Dimitri Costume!: 3

Going to cons in your 30s sometimes means you tell your friends you need to go lean against a wall for your back and then they understand completely.

Hey you know what’s actually really fun? Taking videos of yourself in cosplay as badass ladies doing pull ups.

First I did something stupid and had to go back to an old save so I didn’t miss the tiefling party even though it meant redoing fights and now I got a weird glitch where the screen is black as the hag fight starts so I think BG3 is tell me to go to bed 🤣

I managed three hours of Otakon before bailing, whoops

Sitting on the metro in full cosplay on my way to Otakon and honestly I’m starting to think eating the $5 parking fee and going home to hurl is a better idea than going in this costume

Did you know coffee is a bad thing to keep drinking when you're anxious about something? Fascinating, right? Yeah so anyways.... *pours another cup of coffee*

I've been awake for an hour and I already need to go back to bed.

No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

Lmao and sometimes the cosplayer life is coming up with not one but TWO potential back up plans in case you wimp out of wearing your intended costume for the convention tomorrow.

There is nothing I love more than turning out to be right about something when someone else insisted repeatedly that I was wrong and I now have proof that I was correct.

A new Paris Paloma album in September and a Chloe Qisha one in October is a gift for me personally and I will be listening to them both obsessively.

My Dancer Ingrid costume is finally done for Otakon this weekend and honestly, should have been done Friday if not earlier last week if I hadn't dragged my feet on a handful of small sewing details.

why didn't the eagles carry Odysseus to Ithaca

It's just hairstyle inspiration but also I do feel a little weird taking hairstyle inspiration for one of my characters who is now a queen from the Targaryens because she's absolutely not getting involved in any of their sort of nonsense 🤣

Sometimes your body feels just fine at the gym and sometimes your knee cracks so loudly in the middle of Pilates that you’re honestly surprised everyone didn’t turn around and stare at you.

ALSO. Look at my precious lil baby! This is Amira von Riegan from our FE3H TTRPG game. She's Claude and Marianne's daughter and was not thrilled when they made her house leader. The dagger may or may not have been a gift from her love interest. Art by the wonderful @alexabosy.bsky.social!
