Sleepies trying to sabotage

Sirius @grumpyatelier.bsky.social · 16d

I realized I genuinely miss the community you could form online from sharing an interest.

In years past I met so many people through fire emblem- now people cycle through media so fast it’s so hard to connect

Made something because I’ve been thinking about this a lot, TLDR: life’s short, please live your life and allow others to do the same.

You are cringe and you can be free

#cosplay #cosplayer #costober #fandom #anime #videogame

What is “cringe”?

Honestly it depends who you ask, but it’s used to shame people for something they like or for being themselves. Saying something is cringe is positioned as maturity, being “too cool” and therefore employing bullying tactics to make others edit or reduce themselves into the mainstream or “normal”.

But that’s not what maturity is

Maturity is understanding that “normal” is relative. That sports and music are fandoms too. That bullying is a reflection of one’s own insecurities. Maturity is also understanding that constructing a persona to fit the mainstream is really just a sad waste of your very limited time on this Earth.

So be cringe.

Because life is too short for us to bully each other out of our passions and authentic self-expression.

Otakon 2008: Three Marth cosplayers find each other and spend the entire convention taking pictures together.

My friend and I actually planned to attend together as the same character and happened to run into another one.

Three cosplayers dressed as Marth Lowell from Fire Emblem.

From left to right: my friend, myself, and the stranger we found.

Taken in the old Baltimore Convention Center in 2008.

Here are a list of flowers toxic to cats as a former florist: Lillies, Lily of the Valley, Tulips, Crocus’, Azaleas, Hyacinths, Iris, Hydrangea, Mums, Amarylis to name a few

There are way more than this, Lillies have so much pollen especially if the stamens are in tact

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know.

A drawing of a grim reaper drifting in a toyota sprinter across a grid landscape in front of the outline of downtown detroit, with a big skull looking over it and a wingding in the corner with a skull and cross bones, a vertical black block down the side of it says "extreme danger!"
big text at the bottom says "lilies are toxic to cats! Do not expose your pet cat to lilies it's very bad for them!"

Aka I tricked my brain into being happier but saying I’m happy

Sirius @grumpyatelier.bsky.social · Sep 19

Like yes, some days are the absolute worst. But I’ve found that not sinking into my misery has made me generally a happier person. does this bug people sometimes? Yes. But I am happier so their misery does not effect me

Sirius @grumpyatelier.bsky.social · Sep 19

So something I’ve talked to friends about and also just therapist in general is my mindset on joy. I choose everyday to face things with joy and positivity because I found it did genuinely make me happier. Even when I’m having the worst day ever or the world is being itself, I try to find the joy

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Me cosplaying as Mima from Satoshi Kon's movie "Perfect Blue." I'm in a pink ruffled dress sitting on a concrete floor, slouched up against a wall and staring into space. There are old TVs on the wall displaying Cham, the pop idol group from the movie.

Now that senate is doing stupid things I’m feeling like I need to rush my plan so I can go to grad school if I still wanna try and go. Because no way in hell can I afford it without student loans. And this bill legit will make it so no more loans can bE USED FOR GRAD SCHOOL

I truly don’t care how talented someone is, if you can’t facilitate a space that’s welcoming/contestant centered AND work professionally with other judges you are not ready to be a cosplay judge.

You have a job to do. And that job is as much about how you communicate as it is about what you know.
