I generally didn’t have a cosplay Twitter but who cares I’m on this app now yay! I’m Jaxx a perpetually struggling cosplayer living in NY sometimes I do latex stuff other times I do silly cosplays I do it all for fun. I’ll try to make an effort to post regularly here. Photo credits are in alt text.

Amity Blight conjuring a glowing purple spell in front of a large window looking outside standing on a carpet floor.

Amity Blight posing with her palisman while sitting down with her legs crossed and one of her boots up ok I felt like doing an intimate style pose for this one this was in one of the atrium balcony areas at the convention hotel we took this in.

Amity Blight waving her arm outward about to create yet another spell, holding her palisman downward in one hand while standing in front of an atrium.

Amity Blight holding her palisman to her head while reflecting on things in life. Much like what I tend to do whenever I’m in cosplay.

i would rather not invest in a labubu at all

After a few months passed I reached back out about doing a different cosplay and got blocked right away. No explanation from them just blocked right there. I never was rude to them in all that time or called them out, but I definitely was like wtf? Ultimately I never did get to shoot with them

This is where things get more fishy months went by and never heard back from them to reschedule even though they had time to shoot with other cosplayers. I didn’t really know what their intents were but then I felt I wasn’t really worth their time which is sadly something I’ve dealt with in cosplay

jaxx - a cosplayer @silentjaxx.bsky.social · 26d

Since a few mutuals called out a particular cosplay photographer on IG wanted to state a few years back I nearly shot with this photographer in Brooklyn since I loved their work reached out to them and even settled on a nice spot but ultimately they were busy with work and the shoot never happened

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

can’t believe I’ve survived another full orbit I feel more old than ever yay anyhow it’s my cake day and somehow I still exist on this earth

jaxx - a cosplayer @silentjaxx.bsky.social · Aug 27

I get work commitments and priorities and even the dreaded tariffs above all I’m very patient when it comes to reaching out to others but at the same time it feels depressing never hearing from someone I look up to, which I will admit is understandable

jaxx - a cosplayer @silentjaxx.bsky.social · Aug 27

Commissioning anything for cosplay feels like a losing battle for me at this stage of my ‘career’ imo; a helmet I ordered for Rei’s missing in transit not even sure what the status is on a new Rei suit I ordered, and even reaching out to makers I’ve never done from before can be a real struggle

jaxx - a cosplayer @silentjaxx.bsky.social · Aug 23

jaxx - a cosplayer @silentjaxx.bsky.social · Aug 12

ota was fun even if parts of the con felt a bit mid compared to my first time a few years back I’m not really much of a party con person tbh anyhow got home and I’m crashed out

jaxx - a cosplayer @silentjaxx.bsky.social · Aug 9

Trying to fly home yesterday with fam after our Florida trip was a colossal mess ended up jumping from Jacksonville to Charlotte and then finally Hartford, all because the thunderstorms here in NY were causing havoc with air traffic control. Only managed to get home around 5am still having migraines

Even a bounty hunter needs time to chill and yes hiding in a parking garage from evil space pirates counts

Woke up from a dream this morning where at the end some guy was trying to run toward me begging me to buy his CD kinda like what those guys sometimes do in the city for ‘donations’ but before he could catch me I woke up funny enough I remember giving him the finger beforehand serves him right

Some days like this I question whether I still belong living here as a queer person struggling terribly with acceptance I kinda want to leave the country but concerned I might never be able to live openly

Went to pride today as Amity it was fun but somehow I want to cry anyway heres a crappy bathroom selfie I did in cosplay before I took the subway to the parade

I’m kinda concerned about doing more pricey commissions mainly bc my funds are a bit constrained at the moment but even more concerned if it’ll be even worth it in the end like I love doing unique cosplays though my motivation has been taking a dive lately.
