Today i moved my *many* boxes of books into the apartment.... and INSTANTLY it feels more like home

Had a local Theater awards show tonight (my set design got nominated)
I think i clean up pretty well

Thanks friend, I may pull it out for like day 1 of a con or something 🤔

I am VERY unsure how I feel about it 🤣

Ok.... so o dont think im gonna KEEP the mustache.... but this could be fun.

.... im absolutely going to have to Cosplay the Monster from del Toro's Frankenstein aren't i.......
I think the answer is absolutely yes...
I love Frankenstein and ive always wanted to be a monster

Holy F**K........ Dragoncon was only a month ago....

..i... tha.... it seems like a lifetime....

Starting to settle on to my new apartment.

Im trying to take this move to really purge the massive amount of things that ive accumulated over the last 5 or 6 years.
Cause its gotten bad 🙃

Hey white people! All that smoke you had for Disney and ABC and shit?

Send that same smoke to the Black folks who lost their jobs for the same damn reason.

...... im paying the deposit for my new apartment today.
I pick up the keys and start moving on Wednesday.
Its been a long time since I had a space that was fully mine.
This is the start of a lot of new things.
And im ready for it.

Loved the outfit I put together for MCR drag night tonight!

.... We all have good days and bad days
But you dont have to face them alone...

Maybe next time. I haven't shaved in a while. I'll leave the mustache in the 5 o'clock shadow and see what it looks like...... no reason....

Thank you!!

It has been 800 days since my last drink.
This wasn't a planned Milestone, but it feels important

As always, if you are struggling, or just want to talk.
I am always here

You can drain my energy any time, Chère. Gambit has plenty.

No matter what happens..... im not picking that bottle up.
Im not throwing away 799 days.... not a fucking chance...

Good tacos always help...

"This is gross in the best way"
Possibly the best comment ive ever received on a prop

The gross inside of Pyramid Head is my favorite cosplay thing no one will ever see
The details on the scale figure inside the helmet is a gross almost tumor, so of course I had to recreate it

Im either gonna be hyper online for the next while or be on and off for a while.
Im ok.... im just dealing with a lot right now...

So far ive been called to build an electric chair, a beetlejuice sandworm, the dragon puppet for Shrek, and possibly a crocodile for Peter Pan

I think i am becoming the person you call in the Charlotte area if you need a weird prop or puppet or weird theatre thing built....

And I absolutely love this development

Lolol I remember NOTHING else. but like i didn't just have it. I BOUGHT it in the dream?!?!

Wait?!?! Did i have a dream that I bought track and field javelin last night?!?

FUCK..... realizing you just cant work the same way/at the same speed you used to..because your body wont let you...... is fucking frustrating...

Only one commission is completely booked but....
I might have 5 prop sword commissions in the next year or so....
All ive ever wanted to do was make prop weapons, swords specifically...

And now im getting paid to do it.... kind of professionally...
This means the world to me..

I just did my first set with my weights after taking a break from Dragoncon and F*** does it feel good.

I never would've thought even this small amount in my living room would become such a big part of feeling good.

And with that.... another Dragoncon comes to an end.
This week fills my soul and wears out my body 🙃
But i wouldn't miss it for the world.

Thanks!!!
