she/her (gay) ◽bad at posting◽ making niche cosplay and complaining about it for over 20 years 👻

hi friends should tell me if they want to do any groups for mag 👉🏽👈🏽 my plans so far are probably uhhhh windwaker and ill bleed and maybe ratatan. but i like dressing up with friends!!! you can also ask me about things past mag, i like planning in advance.

back home from my extended weekend trip to Minneapolis. good to see friends, eat good food and take lots of silly pictures 🙂‍↕️ got super lucky with the weather (except the bugs) and beautiful fall foliage

speed puzzled successfully! finished in 1:21 at our first 750 piece. finished solidly in the middle as usual ...yes i adjusted my weekend plans so I could puzzle palooza with my siblings. we could be decent if we actually practiced 😔

prepping to go do a photo weekend and am only now making sure my costumes are all good and making minor adjustments. ...in reality I've been prepping by going to the cobbler and mechanic and various other ~adult tasks~ I've been putting off excited to hang out with friends and be silly tho

I was thinking about the hypothetical q of albums that you regularly go back to/are important and have to listen to the whole thing back to front (not just the bangers) and why. because the why is the most interesting part to me.

i dont like the way it looks, sorry. over designed and uncanny valley looking. you can tell which npcs are important based fully on how much rework they got to the point they look like they're from different games. 1 to 1 remakes are also boring imo so i am free from the need to replay vanilla oot

I have changed my mind on what zelda npc i want to make (for mag) every single day. these are my top 3 contenders for various freak reasons but feel free to try and convince me towards one or throw a new one at me

maggie from windwaker
shes a real monster fucker and i respect that.
also her outfit is giving fucked up mismatch historical vibes and i have thoughtsagitha from twilight princess
weird little bug freak and says crazy things everytime you talk to her and thats great.
outfit is very lolita and has a lot of room for fun texture. 
she is however the one that gets cosplayed the most of these 3telma trom twilight princess
shes a curvy, middle aged woman who runs a bar/inn and i think thats awesome. she probably has more social power than anyone in the whole game and i respect that.
her outfit has some fun design and texture but overall is on the simpler side, though it looks comfy.

that one song from E33 always reminds me instead of a specific song/remix from p4d and I need to haunt another person with this. which just brings my lingering mixed feelings on the remake up since i doubt it will be as 'queer kids in a rural town in the mid 2000s' coded as the original 😔

getting annoyed early in the morning by looking at my game collection and noticing things missing. were they misplaced during a move? still at a friend/my moms house? literally double checking save data to make sure im not gaslighting myself about what i did or did not have... yes this is pointless

2nd year in a row where the thing causing insanely bad traffic by the convention center is a sports collectors show? like orders of magnitude worse, nothing else blocks traffic like a mile in every direction, on every road. sports fandom is crazy.....

planning shit for CEO now and trying to figure out how many swimsuit cosplays i can reasonably bring and do i really care about bringing 'real' costumes???? i miss making new themed swimsuits every year.... (not that i dont have tons)

ren faire postponed (due to weather/air) and really feeling the mental stress of not having any solid plans for anything for the next several months; feeling very adrift, disconnected I'm good at keeping myself busy but its hard to feel motivated anyway more time to keep fiddling with my outfit 😔

ren faire outfit so far. made a babydoll esque green top, a sheer floral over dress and a leather harness all with things from the stash.back view of the outfit. there's weird dangly hoops from the harness mostly to hold my parasol or a waterbottle I guess

i need more friends to do low stakes multiworld randomizers with because every moment i am not currently in one I have to fight the urge to just start a massive solo rando. its so fun and itches the puzzle solving, trial and error satisfaction/frustration loop I crave

extremely interesting direct on so many levels! impressed by how many new 3rd party announcements were saved. oot remake may have long been suspected so i guess it makes sense as the closer but i remain deeply skeptical 😔 (i have one more show to catch up on but its been a wild not e3)
