Okay. I'm supposed to be a version of Sailor moon. But instead of planets, I'm representing my country. Hopefully this helps you out, instead of AI.

It's actually a Peruvian tablecloth that my friend crafted into my cosplay!

Missed the last day of Hispanic Heritage month but I still wanted to show off my Sailor Peru cosplay from @dragoncon.org

I'm drinking bourbon and coke, while watching Twilight because I've never seen Twilight.
Bad acting is bad. 😂

Marry someone who will wear matching shirts with you AND grab you a cookie while you're at the bar having a lemon drop. 🥹🥰

Watched the Dandadan movie on the big screen the other week. It may be the first three episodes of the new season, but at least it looked nice. 😭 #dandadan

Visiting Denver, walking around our area and we stumbled onto a protest.
These are my favorite photos that I took. #Ukraine

(I also just noticed my bestie in the background smiling so hugely because she planned this with my fiancé for almost a year! 😂)

We've been engaged for almost 7 months & soon enough, we'll be married. I look back on this video so much because, my love, my friends, and my team made this so special for us. I can't thank them enough for this moment. ❤️
Happy dateiversary @horizoncosplay!

A few months later, I was browsing on Hinge & saw this cute guy who said that the nerdiest thing about him was that he goes to DragonCon every year.
Three years ago today, we had our first date where all we did was talk about cosplay & DragonCon.

During #dragoncon2021, I was volunteering for Social media. My friends had asked me to go to the Westin to meet up for an event. After we were done, we went downstairs & I saw a fantastic Hawks cosplayer from MHA. I asked him for his photo, said how great his cosplay was, & went back to my friends.
