It’s my cake day and can’t think of any other perfect way to post so here’s some new Amity! 📸: @allyspock.bsky.social

Skipping anime nyc for the first time since I missed the first one years back, idk if it was worth skipping in the end even with the high badge cost but I did have several other reasons for not going.

Barely made it thru first day been dealing with numbness on one of my knees the past day or so; maybe I just wear Mari a few hours tomorrow, change out and do Amity the rest of the night

day zero of ota: alright I guess, changed my plan briefly to wear miku, and then the coil in one of my pigtails fell out. stopped by the marquis a few times but didn’t really feel like seeing anyone or taking part in anything and now about to crash out at my hotel. at least the nando’s was good.

My otakon lineup for this year who shall I bump into?

Posted these on ig earlier but here’s all the vertical shots I got from a Star Butterfly shoot I did last summer in a nice botanical garden 📸: hailthenaninator (IG)

Last night checked the tracking number for a cosplay I ordered recently the package arrived out for delivery in my neighborhood Saturday, but oddly the usps declared my address insufficient and returned the package to the maker overseas. And I only found out about it last night thru the tracker. 😭

crazy playoff run we’ve been on huh?

Waiting in line picking up food to go at a restaurant I frequent and even they’re using a_i for some promotion sign between that and the pair of booth banners using it I saw at momocon wonder if I should invest in some stickers to use any time I see a sign using a_i

momo’s over it was fun and got the most out of the final day saw dana again and had a successful date dinner earlier with a friend but unsure yet if i’ll return for next con maybe if some fun guests come I’ll go for round 3

anyway watching Dana’s panel with my friend as I type this

Did timeskip Amity today for Momo and had a fun shoot with my local friend it was so epic

Finally met the legend today @danaterrace.bsky.social

Off to Momo as s3 Amity! Notice the new belt had it commissioned recently from the same Etsy maker as timeskip Amity which I’ll be wearing tomorrow

Landed in atl less than an hour ago as I type this for momocon yet jetblue still hasn’t let us off the plane bc another plane was at our gate think that plane might be leaving now

Just realized I got my latex Mari dropshipped by someone I commissioned from twice and assumed they’d be making the suit and in the end got charged double what I could have paid for the cosplay buying it on the original maker’s site… 🫠

Tired out from con thinking hard about this but feel it’d be best if I stopped doing events indefinitely after next Mag for many different reasons. Imo I feel like I might be aging out of cons what do you think?

On my way to Castlepoint just for today debuting my timeskip Amity

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

Close to uninstalling ig entirely not just because my cosplay posts largely flop on there but also my self doubt to cosplay has been tanking and it’s impacting my mental health with it. I feel more unwelcome each day just from being in the community

Happy Trans Day of Visibility.

In the 10 or so years I’ve cosplayed I’ve only ever competed in one masquerade, and that was in a group walk on when I first started out. We didn’t win anything but it was still fun being on stage not having to worry about competing with others in some popularity contest. As it should be

There is no pointless way to cosplay. Many of us cosplay for the love of it. Expression doesn’t require metrics to be meaningful.

obligatory bathroom selfie from earlier as Amity before I crash out

Zenkai day 1 as Spinel! Cosplay made by roseyg (IG)

have to love when a cosplay maker you worked with twice decided they don’t want to work with you anymore because of being non committed to a cosplan like sorry I’m not a popular ig famous cosplayer with tons of followers and money and have multiple other cosplans to deal with fml

I think it’s safe for me to say I’ve officially grown to hate the side effects of snowstorms

Crazy I won’t be doing either nyc con this year for the first time in a long while was already skipping anyc because the vibes aren’t for me anymore and nearly considered nycc again but heard about their parent company’s shocking ties. I’ll see if I can do flamecon and some of the smaller events

The fun of finding out a cosplay photographer I worked with once blocked me on ig for some reason and now not hearing back from another I dmed the other day looking into working with. Yay. This community just keeps getting more closed off smh
