Amateur dwarf cosplayer and roleplayer. Just getting started. Minors👶 ❌️ Miners⛏️ ✅️

Life continues to distract, but on the final day of the month I figured I will do this to keep things going as we head out of June. Because of course, it doesn't just suddenly end. As a stout and proud race, we dwarves defend and lift up our friends for exactly who they are. So, happy pride!

This image is the inclusive progress pride flag with Gimli, infamous dwarf fighter from the Lord of the Rings films series, overlayed in a readied stance.

Merry Trangender Day of Visibility! Today is an important one for fostering whatever small community I ever or eventually have. Despite our reclusive and traditionalist vibes, dwarves with any honor are ALWAYS on the side of good. And the side of good will always fight for the rights of all.

A trans pride flag with the words "TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY" on it.

While I am a lover of winter, it's because of snow, not ice. While I am not a skilled crafter of my kin, I know that ice melts at our forges. While I love the cold, ice in our home caverns creates a dangerous environment. Hopefully the true meaning of these statements isn't too obscure.

Starting the year with a look back at the 2025 All Hallow's Renfaire in Billings, MT. It has been awhile yet again, so some to catch up on as I try to be more active in 2026. It was a rainy faire, so couldn't go full-dwarf the whole time but I wanted to sport the beard for this pic with the crew.

Posted by the fantasy dwarf cosplayer, this image has a number of folks who are donning typical Renaissance Faire attire of all different sorts. The pic was taken at the All Hallow's Renaissance Faire in Billings, MT in October 2025, in front of the Phoenix Pearl Tea Company booth, which is normally located in Great Falls, MT.

“It matters,” Qui-gon said quietly. “It matters which side we choose. Even if there will never be more light than darkness. Even if there can be no more joy in the galaxy than there is pain."

I have not been active on here, but I wanted to come on and say this (a lil late). Just going to keep it simple too. Merry Pride. You will always be welcome and safe in my cavehome. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Thank you for helping me on my drawing tablet! >:3 Her name is going to be Tethys! named by @suneaterseraph.bsky.social. Each and everyone of you that helped me will be forever marked! Thank you! Now to post the many artworks all of you commissioned me for!

Hullo again. Been awhile. This random update was the first public debut of Brodin at the Cheval Court Medieval Festival in Billings, MT. It feels like I wasn't quite fully hitting the dwarven vibe yet, but I was on the way though. Also... terrible day to choose. The area had record high temps.. 🥵

Continuing my very spaced out idea of sharing some of my first costuming attempts, here's a few early shots of Brodin coming together a bit more. (Random note that unfortunately, I am not super crafty myself, so these are almost all purchased bits.) Custom axe by SvarogArtisan

We all start somewhere. While I ramp up my costumes, details, and learn how best to secure my most important accessory, I figured I would show the steps I've had as well. The day my beard arrived. No adhesive (notice the mustache being suspended by my nose ring lol). Beard by ParmaBarbe on Etsy.

It feels like the right day to be very clear about this and might as well make it my first post. ANY dwarf with an understanding of their own culture and worth their mined salt will always proclaim that trans rights should always be protected. Trans rights are human rights and dwarf rights.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS written across the transgender pride flag.
