Haha yeah it's for the VtM LARP group I do, there's a character who in-universe makes my character's clothes, and the player said the gown would be pink, and thus pink ballgowns have chosen me a third time and I cannot escape them πŸ˜‚

Starting a new project before I've even unpacked my suitcase yet? It's more likely than you might think

A picture of a batman pattern threaded up on my tablet weaving loom. I use a rigid heddle loom that's small enough to almost fit in my lap, and a shuttle made of purple heart wood. I paint the edges of my cards to help me track where I am in the pattern as well.

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

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.

I guess unnatural in that his father is undead? And generally speaking undead people do not have children?

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

A 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)"

How to explain to a manager that I'm not "sick" persay I've just got a good ol' case of the "you know how sometimes it feels like someone scooped out all your bones and organs, put them in a jar, shook that jar up real good, and then put them all back in your body but just a little bit wrong?"

Never forget that Coco Chanel was a Nazi.

She spied for the Nazis and was literally in bed with a Nazi.

R: Odysseus ain't SHIT
B: Oooooooh
B: That's a curve
R: I saw the trick for stringing it twice and I pulled it off first try
R: what's Penelope's number he legally has to tell me now

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//
