really enjoying my time with endacopia. only secrets left i think... it has a lot of charm and love in it but i do wish i could've had save slots to make getting other endings easier

i actually think those things have always been most important to me... love for what youre wearing, and feeling good. store bought or crafted by hand... the love for the character or the series and just having the joy and pride of wearing it.... isnt it the best feeling...

its not like im against making things for myself but body image is bad, and i think whats most important in cos is feeling good. and i know i wouldnt feel good. so i just havent made anything for a long long time. maybe someday in the future. the good news is that i still create, just not for myself

realized ppl who met me thru xiv prob had 0 idea i was an insane cosplayer bc i dont make things for myself anymore. so i shared some old pics

wait silly to not post the bruno suits:

all things ive made for me many years ago

my friends got this for me while they were in Japan 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Bruno....

bonus whatever this is that decided to grow in a random spot too (pretty, cute)

thought my hydrangeas wouldn't flower this year (very late leaf growth) but here is a BRIGHT PINK(!!!) bundle... yay usually we get blue, so i guess changing gardeners/mulch changed the ph.... interesting

Grrrrr

In celebration of Marine Day, the GBF art team also shows Tien celebrating the summer with the plush version of her brother, giving him little sunglasses and a floatie. He doesn't seem too pleased...

anyway, whatever. here are photos of my cats

whenever i think abt my hvac i get so annoyed. like isnt life so much better when we do things (we should know how to do) right the first time? grrrr

my patience is running so thin, man hvac system got replaced last nov, they made some mistakes and failed inspection. Had to do repairs. Guy comes to inspect AGAIN and it fails a 2nd time, havent heard from them since early June about a week ago, a guy emails me asking to schedule a 3rd inspection

The bros. ☺️ lil’ preview of today’s shoot. #ffxiv #ff14 #redhot #deepblue

moles, moles, moles.

happy turnabout serenade week 🎵🎸🎼

Is there one single "rule" or piece of advice that you make sure to stick to above all else when pursuing your craft, & if so what is it?
