Hi! I’m AmazonMandy, I make custom cosplay commissions & gowns! I’ve been cosplaying since 2004 & owned this business since 2013. 🩵

A collection of Pokémon cosplay commissions that I’ve made! I’ve made quite a few more of these in the past, but that was before I was taking nice videos of my commissions!

As long as people continue to speak with their dollars and reject the movies/games/music/books etc made by AI, we can stop it.

I really appreciate that. I want to believe most people will reject it, that seems to be the pattern, so far. I just am so disappointed in how many people are willing to discard thinking & growing for the easy route.

That's literally all AI is...."the easy way out". At the expense of artists, creators, and the environment.

Don't ask me what I would move into doing, instead. At this point, I'm open to suggestions. But wow, disheartening.

"But it makes me look like a Ghibli character!!", oh my bad, that's worth trashing the environment, using up resources, and stealing from actual artists, all for your instagram story.

Seeing cosplayers & photogs using AI to create backgrounds or just whole fake cosplays is really pushing me to research a different career. I've wanted to for a while, but I cannot find words to express how upsetting & frustrating it feels to see such selfishness and disregard for the harm it does.

"anti-AI people should just learn more about it" motherfucker I know so much about it, that's why I'm anti-AI

It's SO GLITCHY with vids (and often images). I so badly want this site to grow, but they have to fix this stuff.

AmazonMandy @amazonmandy.bsky.social · 2d

Just making a bag for an upcoming commission, I’ll be pretty surprised if anyone manages to guess this one!

This will be forever one of my favourite garments in the V&A. It is a late #1890s coat from Marshall & Snelgrove, featuring hand embroidered sweet cicely flowers with white felt petals that float on top of blue velvet, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Look who’s trying to make a comeback at NYCC after getting forced out of DragonCon…

My stories were stolen for AI training, but I get no money or credit.

Every time you use AI to write an email, it's because you need me (and thousands of other people) to think for you.

This mean short stories and articles published in anthologies and collections aren't included b/c while the larger book has an ISBN or ASIN, the individual works don't. This also means works published in magazines and online that were pirated but don't have an ISBN or ASIN are also not included. 5/

Don’t forget, they found a similar one at Spirit Halloween for $60, so surely I can make it for less?
