Allayed Cosplay

How has it already been a week since Connecticon?! 😭

Connecticon always flies by too quickly, and this year was no exception. 💛 Til next year, Connecticon!

How it looks on the outside hearing news about RWBY Vol 10 —> How it feels on the inside 💀

Tbh, I’m so excited for Vol 10!! Yang’s a longtime favorite of mine and definitely a go-to comfort cosplay! 🐉☀️ Here’s hoping we get more good news soon!

Celebrating my birthday with new photos of my Yor cosplay from Nerd Caliber! 🥳 One of the greatest joys of my 30s has been embracing all the “cringe” things I was so embarrassed by as a teenager—that includes all of the manga, anime, Sci-fi, and fantasy media I loved so much! ‘Normal’ is like beauty—it’s different in the eye of every beholder, and I’m so glad and relieved to have finally embraced that. 💛

all the things she said
Running through my head,
running through my head,
This is not enough.”

Ilya Rozanov cosplay test, rule 63 🏒

[📝: Wore a crucifix instead of Ilya’s Russian Orthodox cross because I was raised Catholic and would thus have guilt wearing anything else. 🫠]

It’s hard to believe it’s been over ten years since I first went (think SuperWhoLock era), and a lot has changed, but AB will always be my home con 💛

PAX was a whirlwind, as usual, now—back to regular life 👾 😴

First con of the year is in the books! I’ve never gone as Bones to a con, so it was fun to exchange 🖖 with other Star Trek cosplayers. Arisia is always a fun con to go to and is a bright spot in the bleakness of January lol. Also, this was my first time wearing blue eye shadow since middle school dances, a [redacted] number of years ago. Between the glittery eyeshadow and tricorder, I was covered in sparkles when I got home. ☠️ Sad there’ll be a gap year next year, but I’m excited to see what Arisia looks like in 2028!

“Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.”
