A section of the batman pattern. I'm making keychains so I decided 5 Batmen was probably a good length of them.
A finished keychain of a skrunkly little Superman. I tied a knot at the end as a place for a keyring to go through. There's probably better ways to do this but uhhhh this is what I came up with at the time haha. I put fraycheck on the end so it doesn't fray
Upping my cosplay trinket game by weaving some silly skrunkly little guys

A picture of my suitcase open on the floor. One side is zipped up with all my other stuff I need inside it. The other side is completely full of several different types of fabric.
On this trip I have purchased Exactly as much fabric as I can fit in this suitcase and I think that means I purchased the Correct amount of fabric

Yet again I decided to Not con-crunch and not make something new for my next convention. And yet again that decision was usurped by me getting sucker-punched by the demon of inspiration, and here I am draping a new pattern on the floor of a living room I have still not fully unpacked.

But other than that uuuhhhh idk maybe there's more to the lore than the show depicts

21.08.2025 15:57 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0A screenshot of a google search for when Alucard from Castlevania was born. The search shows the inescapable AI Overview Google won't stop forcing on everyone. The overview reads as follows: "Alucard Tepes, also known as Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes, was born in the mid-1450s. Specifically, the Castlevania series establishes his birth year as around 1456. In the series, he is depicted as being 20 years old when the story begins in 1476. Here's a breakdown: β’ Birth Year: 1456 (approximately)"
AI Overview better be full of it. Wtf do you mean Alucard's middle name is Fahrenheit

Screen shot of a Bluesky post linking to a history podcast lauding Nazi sympathizer and collaborator Coco Chanel for her rise from poverty to "elegance" and "to explore the grit behind the glamour"
Never forget that Coco Chanel was a Nazi.
She spied for the Nazis and was literally in bed with a Nazi.

Fantastic Four: First Steps is a good self-contained movie with nothing wrong with it, which feels downright groundbreaking for the MCU right now -R

The Superman cosplayer is in a blue suit with red boots, trunks, and a cape. The Supergirl cosplayer has a blue long-sleeved bodice with a red and gold logo, red skirt, red boots, and a red cape.
The same cosplayers as before, but now the Supergirl cosplayer is picking the Superman cosplayer up
The same cosplayers, but now Supergirl has her arm wrapped around Superman's shoulders. The Superman logo is red and black and Superman's wearing a brown belt with a gold buckle.
The same cosplayers, now with a Lois cosplayer between them in a purple corduroy blazer and pencil skirt, a white blouse, and brown shoes.
Cosplaying to Not a convention is a wild time lol. The new Superman movie is fun though!
Superman and I both made and patterned our own cosplays. Lois thrifted and altered hers.

Another mirror selfie of me in my Supergirl cosplay with the blonde wig, dark blue bodice, gold belt, red miniskirt, and red cape, and have done my makeup. In the background there is a plastic tarp taped to my wall for very long and complicated reasons that shorten to: My Landlord Sucks And I'm holding an entirely different phone because yesterday I wound up upgrading mine and getting thoroughly roasted for being a Nerd the entire time by the employee helping me transfer my data. This phone has a pink and blue floral otterbox case
Watching the new Superman movie for the second time this week and the outfit vibes are Wildly different depending on which friend I'm watching the movie with
(Pictures potentially incoming of my Lois and Superman depending on how late I wind up being to this movie. //shakes fist at CTA//
