Slothcore Jen

Blog The last time I was at G-Anime was 10 years ago, in 2016. Since pandemic restrictions were lifted I've felt I was long overdue for a trip to an Ottawa-area con to visit my friends there, and when...

Got my collection of photos from Ottawa and G-Anime up now on my blog!

A friend tried to give me a grapefruit seltzer on the weekend and I had to tell him to take it back and trade for literally any other flavour. 🤮

Who's going to be spending the weekend watching @con-g.ca ?
Saturday night programming has become a watch-party tradition in my household, between the masquerade, AMVs and drinks panel!

What better way to celebrate the news of the graphic novel than with a cosplay photo from @elementalsight.bsky.social

You still have 1 week to get your Virtual Masquerade video submissions in!

Graphic of my cosplay plans for 2026, including Izutsumi from Delicious in Dungeon, unknown character from Apothecary Diaries, Witch Rosalina by Akuoart, unknown character from Monster Prom, Swim Rosalina from Mario Kart Tour, and total mystery cosplay

It's a little late and a lot less precise than other years, but I've put together my new-cosplay plans for the year! Want more details? They're up in my blog at slothcore.ca 📝

A caveat: Friday I'll be wearing War for a shoot but not sure if she will actually be at the con

It's been *mumble mumble* years since I've been to @ganimeconvention but we're going back! Here's my cosplay plans for the weekend. Very much looking forward to seeing my Ottawa and area friends ❤️

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

Collage of 5 cosplay photos: Izutsumi from Delicious in Dungeon, Helly R from Severance, Sailor Venus (original witch design), Kim Pine from Scott Pilgrim, Drs Satler and Grant from the OG Jurassic Park

It was a quiet year for me in terms of new cosplay; very little was sewn, but that's ok, and it's the direction I'll probably keep headed as I get older and pick up different hobbies. Never going to stop cosplaying entirely though!

2025 wrap-up post is live on slothcore.ca

Final Halloween post from 2025: costume day at the gym, where I wore my new sloth onesie and REALLY sweated it out for three classes. Also included: proof I kept the kigu on.

More Halloween costumes! I brought Leela back out for my Halloween silks session 🚀
Picking something which is safe for silks, especially at the beginner level, sure is a challenge.

Fun fact: you can see my wig getting worse with each wear!

Keeping things rolling with a costume that didn't make the cut for Costober this year - "Butterfly Fae" original design using items from Great Pretenders.
...and also the newest gallery page on my site!

31. Spooky cosplay goes to my Bioshock Splicer, based on "Baby Jane" concept art. Two photos today; one for the atmosphere and the other for my FX makeup (which I only did for that one Snailoween). Photos from @elementalsight.bsky.social and @kameraninja.bsky.social 2012

30. Work-in-Progress for Izutsumi. Was supposed to be done in May. I have ears, tail, and fabric.
...maybe next May.

29. Dream photoshoot: I may be intentionally misinterpreting this one, but I'm picking an existing shoot. Cersei at University of Toronto, shot by @kameraninja.bsky.social in 2016. Aside from my costume being slightly incomplete, I think it's close to perfection.
#costober

27. Cosplans: 3 of these were part of my plans at the start of the year. I seem to have a constantly decreasing amount of time to make costumes, so I don't know if I'll make any progress before the end of the year, but it sure would be nice if I did.

26. Cosplaying a non-human character: I don't think it gets more non-human than Katamari Cousins. This is Mag, first appearing in Beautiful Katamari; photos by @elementalsight.bsky.social 2012

I love Midna, super loved getting to do this as a silly group of friends, and it was just SO FUN to hand out mail to other LoZ cosplayers in these costumes.
