#FinalFantasyVII #FFVII #Aerith

sometimes I think about how in my first competition ever I entered with a costume that had a fitted blazer and tailored pants and didn’t press a single seam 💀

#FF7 #FinalFantasy

contemplating jumping into a half marathon training program next year since I’ve been on my renewed running grind this year, is this a symptom of turning 30 in a few weeks?

Ready to end my little mini-hiatus relatively soon and lock in to start my year + long project 👀

✨ Aerith staff 3D model, mythril pieces, and PVC pipe connector models from @dangerousladies.ca

Aerith’s staff is complete! 🌸

How genius are @dangerousladies.ca PVC pipe connectors? This allows me to take Aerith’s loooong staff and fit in into a relatively small suitcase if needed! I’m obsessed

I’ll be wearing the full costume at Otakon tomorrow! 💃

#FF7

Seriously considering adding it to my actual wardrobe it is a cute design!!

Ahhhh thank you sm!! 😭🥹

Had a VERY successful evening of painting props and accessories

Feeling the crunch a lil still but making good progress 😮‍💨

Aerith is complete for Otakon! 🌸

This costume tested the absolute limits of my sanity and my sewing machine (no seriously, it broke in the middle of me trying to top stitch the jacket)

I tried to be super intentional about materials, taking my time, durability, and details ✨

#Aerith #FF7

Finally got a Bambu P1S this weekend am it’s glorious!!! 🥹😭💖

Gone are the days of fighting with my old printer

I have professional briefing/presentation experience + techniques that translates well into pre-judging especially for super small timeslots

Pre-judging can be so scary!! Going in with a plan for what you’re going to say and how you will say it can make it so much smoother and help with nerves

Aside from everything already discussed, it’s times like this that really motivates me to compile resources and make a panel for how to structure your cosplay competition pre-judging to make it as painless as possible bc it’s such a stressful and vulnerable time

I’m so out of the loop and disconnected from most everything nowadays I don’t even realize there was cosplay comp discourse 💀

#LegendofZelda #EchoesofWisdom #MAGFest

Being a cosplayer is so unexplainable bc how can can I sound normal when coworkers ask what I did on the weekend weekend and say I made vectors for anime characters and repaired my 3D printer ☝️🤓

Thank you so much!! 😭💖

Thank you so much!! 😭😭💖

Impaaaa!! 🙌🙌🙌 thank you so much! 💖

Still processing it tbh but I’m so incredibly excited and honored to receive Best in Show at @awesomecon.bsky.social last weekend ✨💖

This Impa costume was a labor of love for well over a year in the making and I’m so thankful for all the love and kind words ❤️

You know all those gorgeous posts we share? Those are entirely thanks to our Graphics team: Quinn and Heather! They both share a passion for design and have a keen eye for detail. Our socials would look pretty boring without their amazing help.
