Kicking off #28DaysofBlackCosplay with a new starter pack - a growing list of Black Cosplayers to follow if you aren’t already.

Not everyone is here - so is you’d like to be added let me know.

And I will add a part 2 and more once I hit capacity.

Super excited to be invited to @gatewayfate.bsky.social as cosplay guests this year! 2024's Fate was such a unique con and so much fun. @sewsteph.bsky.social and I were honestly flabbergasted when we were contacted.

GATEway FATE @gatewayfate.bsky.social · Jan 28

We're nearing the end of our guest posting train as we welcome @ssweetbret.bsky.social and @sewsteph.bsky.social of Sickeningly Sweet Cosplay! When they aren't crafting cosplays, they're crossing off achievements and playing with interior decor. Party up this October!

Like I don't need Alucard, the 300 year old half human half vampire barge in to the revolutionary government to warn Robespierre that a vampire army is coming.

Finished Castlevania Nocturne. I couldn't care less about the new characters (excluding Richter, Dorltra, Olrox, and Elizabeth) or the story but the last 2 episodes were amazing. I just find the backdrop of the French Revolution to be at odds with the world building of Castlevania.

The world sucks, anyways here's where Percy is at. Nobody ask me what went wrong on it, I'm not telling anyone until after the contest I plan on taking him to.

Yes the clock app is back. Am I celebrating? No, because it's only back due to vague promises from a less than reputable source who's probably just doing it to try and force them to sell within 90 days.

Whenever something goes catastrophically wrong on a build, another set of eyes makes all the difference. I've never been happier to have a cosplayer as a spouse ❤️

Well, guess I'm going to be more active here now.

Every once in a while I go to click on another app my thumb slips, I say "oh yeah, I have a Bluesky account"

I really want to finish Percy in time for Yamacon but it will be a miracle if I do.
I might get the coat, wig, and pew pew done in time tho.
