Hi friends, my name is Sonja. I am a fantasy and video game-loving cosplayer and weirdo!

Things I love:

🔮Witchy Things
🎮Video Games (FFXIV, Horizon Zero Dawn, Undertale, Wylde Flowers, REKA etc.)
🔨Cosplay
🦉The Owl House
🎃Halloween
🎵Music (Harp, Violin, Singing)

Us weirdos have to stick together!

Me as Bill-possessed Soos from Gravity Falls. I wear a brown baseball cap with a note saying "Not Soos" on it, a faint green shirt with a big question mark on it, yellow contacts and I hold The Book Of Bill in my right hand. Behhind me is a waterway and a meadow with some people on it.

A close-up of my Amity-season 3 cosplay from The Owl House. I wear a purple wig with brown roots, yellow contact lensel, a golden crescent moon necklace and a dark teal dress with a yellow neckline. I stand in front of a white wall with a purple and pink flower garland and ivy leaves.

A picture of me in a modern witch outfit, sitting on a log in the woods. Behind me is a lage tree and a lake. I wear a witches hat with orange autumn leaves on it, a short red wig, two necklaces (one with a pink-purple butterfly and one with puple beads and a silver pentacle), as well as a dark purple long-arm shirt, a pleated skirt with soft blue-grey and purple colors, black leggings and black boots.

Me as Hunter from the epilogue of The Owl House. I wear a light blond wig, pointy ears, a dark grey-almost black shirt below a brown worker's apron. The straps of the apron are dark brown and secured with golden clasps. I have several scars on my face and on my shoulder sits a Waffles-plushie (bluebird palisman).

@glitchprod.com and @danaterrace.bsky.social did such an amazing job with this and it can only get better from here!

Also, fellow fans, let's appreciate the work done by these talented people and not be jerks if our fan theories don't come true, okay? Peace.

THANKS. FOR. WATCHING.
Again and again, thank you for watching and your continued hype for animation made outside of mainstream studios. So proud of our crew, so thankful to work with Glitch, so happy to write next to Zach and JBO.

I’m sorry if my reply came across as too short or casual an answer.

It may not have been my intention but it’s an absolutely valid and awesome interpretation to see Frankie as trans. I love seeing what people take away from stories and that will always be the case. It’s the beauty of fiction!

Alright I didn’t check bluesky till this evening. Re: Frankie, I feel like my answer to a question was wildly misinterpreted.
I think seeing her as trans is awesome, I see the connection when ppl talk about it, and I have also never in my career been against hcs, why would I start now?

People will just be jerks not matter what it seems.
I was also wondering about Frankie and had my theories but that's what they were. Theories. Because we didn't know anything for sure after one single pilot episode! If it is now confirmed that she is not trans, then that's perfectly fine.
PEACE!

"The Andi Plush is here to be the little representation of anyone that feels crushed by the weight of having a job, which probably means all of you."
This is such a mood!

This was epic! Also, is it just me or does Frankie/Francesca/Franklin give genderfluid vibes? At first I thought they were transmasculine but then I saw on the Glitch-Shop page that the Frankie-plush was called "She".
Really curious to see how this story develops!

Wellness Wednesday!

How have you been the past week physically, mentally, emotionally? An honest assessment helps with managing self-care.

Sidney Eileen @sidneyeileen.bsky.social · Jun 9

I have been doing these #wellness checks for some time in my discord server support group for disabled and chronically ill pagans & witches. With how difficult things are right now for so many, I felt it would be of benefit to others.

#resist #WitchSky #ChronicIllness #support #community #SelfCare

Weekly Wellness Checks

In times of duress, it is extra important to take the time to check in with yourself, and honestly assess how you are doing. This helps with balancing self-care needs, and also with giving yourself credit for what you accomplish even when it feels like you have accomplished nothing.

To that end, on different days of the week I post prompts to help others find voice for their needs, joys, and victories, and so community can provide support.

Remember! When replying to others, support and compassion first. Advice only if requested.

Weekly Wellness Checks

Made-It Monday!

The deliberate double entandre is for anything and everything you have made, or made it through, during the prior week. This is a way to celebrate victories and accomplishments, big or small or seemingly inconsequential, be it meeting a major life goal, remembering your medication, making it through the work week, creating or working on a piece of art, making yourself a sandwich, making it out of bed when it all feels like too much, or anything else.

Look at you, surviving the week and getting things done! I’m proud of you!

Weekly Wellness Checks

Wellness Wednesday!

This prompt looks for the honest answer to the question, “How have you been?” Good, bad, neutral, or complicated, it all matters. By honestly checking in with yourself, you can adjust your activities, engage in needed self-care, and hopefully avoid or recover from burnout and despair.

Living is hard, but dying would be a pity. No one is genuinely OK right now unless there is something seriously broken in them. It is OK to not be OK.

Weekly Wellness Checks

Fun Friday!

Western cultures tell us that we are not allowed to be happy when things are bad, or we are not giving the bad things the gravity they deserve. The reality is that the worse things are, the more important it is to find fun and joy and happiness, no matter how trivial or fleeting. Without moments of joy and of peace, the weight of oppression and misery has the ability to utterly crush us.

Treasure the joys that make each day bearable. You are worth it!

That's really cool, thanks for the link! I may check it out when I have the time.
It is honestly so cool that the fandom is still quite active.

Oh my god, stop, that is too sweet! Thank you 💗
@brinaprigio.bsky.social look at this!
What kind of server is that btw? A fan server for the show or something more specific?

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and I just want to say that if you're ever in need of an ear, someone to vent to, someone to distract or sit with you, I'm always here. You're not a bother because I'd rather take time out of my day to make sure you're okay than have you think that no one cares.

Just a reminder in case your mind is playing tricks on you today: You're important. Your love. And your presence on this Earth makes a difference whether you see it or not.

Camila standin in front of Vee with her hand outstretched as if shielding her and holding a red baseball bat in her left hand. Vee looks forward nervously. A river is flowing next to us.

Some chill Rumi pics from Connichi😁 I love how the tie-dye shirt turned out.
Outfit is inspired by the epilogue scene of Kpop Demon Hunters.

Me as Rumi leaning against a railing with greenery around it
My arms are crossed and I am looking slightly upwards with my braid over my right shoulder.

Me as Rumi dancing in front of the railing from before, raising my arms up shouting "Couch" like in the Epilogue of the movie.

Me as Rumi crouching on the grass in front of a lake with my fingers in gun position pointed down and looking serious.

My music teacher: Wow, the forward placement of your voice is suddenly really good and stable. It's like someone flipped a switch in you!
Me (thinking): Well...that might be because that's basically what happened...when you get inspired by the literal queen of belting 😅

My favourite alternative to "So mote it be" is most definitely "Because I fucking said so" 🧙‍♀️

✨ Everyone needs to call forth their strongest power from within. Mine just happens to manifest easier if I kick myself into action with a cuss word! ✨

Yes that's a classic! I didn't get to play it myself but my favorite streamers did a detailed playthrough that I followed. The world of The Witcher is also quite extensive with the games, novels and then the series that came out as far as I know.
