For my Doom Slayer cosplay, I had an idea to create a badass mobility device using the Crucible sword.
Instead of a PVC or wood dowel rod core, I use an aluminum hiking stick, layer it with HD foam, and use a pointed rubber stopper at the tip of the blade so I can use the prop as a functional cane?

Is there such a thing as a scalp masseuse?
Is it weird that head scritches legitimately and platonically help soothe my anxiety?

Now that Geekgirlcon is done for the year, it's time to prepare for next year's cosplay and it's my biggest challenge yet.
First step is to build that sword as an accessibility tool, a modified walking stick that can stand in end, while I also work on personal PT to improve my mobility.

As Joi and I venture home, and we pass by the docks of Puget Sound, I am reminded that today is the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Ring the bell 29 times for those lost.

Captain's log, stardate random numbers: the showerhead Enterprise has encountered an unknown creature of immense size and absolutely filthy lower section. Mr Spock has engaged the rainforest setting in a vain attempt to clean the dirty little bastard.

For the first time in two years, I felt my leg was OK enough to do grocery shopping in the store.
It hurt like hell, but I did it.

Working on something a little different (as always). This is for a filmmaker that wants to have their TV show open with the intro starting outside the "studio."
This is the first attempt with the smooth take at the end of the video.

Sourcing clothes in my size is a nightmare, and I'm usually limited to black, slightly darker black, and flannel.
I decided to try some more vibrant variety compared to the monochromatic color scheme I'm usually stuck with. Legit question, would this color work for me?

My Derpy Tiger cosplay from Friday that Joi made. I love it so much! I can't see out if it, so I couldn't even tell when someone was talking to me, so I need to figure out how to see in it since I'm taking it to Geekgirlcon this next weekend.

A reminder: Halloween is for everyone so, it a teenager or college kid shows up at your door in costume, give candy. Life sucks enough.
