Battlefrocks ⚔️ CSC Fancon

Politics AND plague vectors AND colonialism, I thought this was just vampires

This is the kind of one-off fact that puts a series on my watchlist

Ridley as Cytherea the First from the Locked Tomb Series. They are sitting on a blue staircase with green tree painted walls and white windows behind them. They are wearing a white nightgown and light green over robe tied with a pink sash, and looking off into the distance.

They are wearing a white nightgown and light green over robe tied with a pink sash, and looking up and away from the camera. There is fake blood pouring from their nose and mouth, as well as on their hands.

Did a cool thing yesterday, more 📸 on ig and tumblr w/ the same name 👒🔪

once again (due to seeing an otherwise really cool cosplay tutorial that made this mistake) I am reminding all craft people that uncured gel polish or uv resin is EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS. Do you want to develop severe allergies to everything from shampoo to dental work and bone cement? Cause yeah.

This is why you need gengar tongue slippers

I truly love fanfiction writers and artists like you guys are out here making life so much more fun for so many people for FREE fuck capitalism art and community is what makes us human and what makes life worth living

When we overthrow the tech bros I only want monster fuckers and furry porn artists running the internet and tech.

I spent last visit to my mom resetting all her settings and reassuring that even my techie friends hate this one

Join us (ominous) in the Alecto waiting room

I did really enjoy searching back through old cosplay posts though, good motivation to post more in the future

After much searching for my Keyleth build thread and much refining of my bluesky search techniques, turns out that all my original build posts were on twitter-that-was and I never even reposted it here 🤣

And actually post some finished photos! I have three whole photoshoots that I've never posted and I love them all 💚

First up for Finish It February will be upgrades to my Keyleth cosplay, to enter the CSC Fancon workmanship contest later this month. Along the way I'll unearth the build thread and finish that up too

As evidenced by only just now realizing my upcoming next con display name was six months out of date 😂

Also making a goal to post once a day here because I've been working on cosplays and going to events and getting some amazing photos back but have fallen out of the habit of posting

My cosplay focus for the month is going to be Finish It February, and maybe I'll get a whole one out of my many WIPs to stop haunting me

Mac is so good 💜

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW." (Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

Alt is still in pic one I promise I'm not lying to you go check it'll be there trust me

A three panel comic titled "Portion control". A person is looking at art online. At first they are motivated "That's some interesting art... Maybe I should try that too?" They keep looking at more art and feel motivated: "Wow!! These artists are so good! I can't wait to go practise so I can catch up!". As they look at even more art, they get overwhelmed: "They're so many... Why am I even trying...?"

Luckily, I've gotten much better at this lately!

What 4 movies did you grow up with that were pure vibes, more soundtrack than movie really?

Empire Records
Tank Girl
Pump up the Volume
Hackers

Con packing, as is traditional

I ran into him in dealer's room and I fucking cackled

Two thin white pose reference models. One of them jumping up with one knee bent, holding an archery bow In one hand, the other is jumping away with one knee up holding a knife in their hand. The two models are actually the same person and they are facing each other dramatically in a stand-off

Today is a good day to tell an artist about AdorkaStock! 📢✨

Time's End, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.

Sea of Giants, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a night scene on a desert landscape with giant rocks, some of them sculpted. A giant statue of a woman indirectly points at a moon/planet in the sky. The sky is full of stars and 4 comet-like phenomenon.

I have so little time for personal art nowadays that it has become precious to me. This year of 2025 I made these two that I adore - Time's End and Sea of Giants, both for a personal project :)

Double wig delivery day! Total coincidence because they're each from a different source with a different carrier

brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

Wish I could internalize this

I'm used to the not-used-to-having longer nails slip of chopping the tip off my nail while prepping dinner, today was a new one of burning the tip of my nail with the lighter while sealing ribbon ends
