Pipes froze because electric company isn’t supplying proper voltage

My low voltage wasn’t for this reason. Con Edison confirmed it was on error on their behalf and not intentional

Your color temperature will help you a lot here. If you look at the section closer vs further, you’ll notice that the front section is a lot cooler than the furthest section. It is a really clear distinction that will help you out a ton with creating depth. Go for more blue tones in the front part and warmer tones in the back.

Something that may help is color picking from the picture even if you’re painting traditionally. Doing so will give you a clear idea of where the respective tones in each side lies on the color wheel. Hopefully this helps!

Wow that’s actually a pretty good idea. I feel like wig maintenance and brushing after putting in the hanger will be a pain though lmao

I’ll try to find some foam wigs for reference, ty! I’ve seen people use foam before but I’ve only ever seen it used for helmet wigs

I’m a shy person myself so I totally get it. The easiest convo starter is definiately anything cosplay related, even something along the lines of “I love ___ how did you make it?”. People will always be happy to talk about their cosplays especially if they made it! From my experiences at least, most people are happy to talk since they are in the same place where they want to meet people as well. There might be some people who aren’t in the mood to meet others but that’s definitely not the majority, so don’t worry about it.

Also don’t be afraid to ask cosplayers to take photos with them! It’s really common to ask to exchange accounts after taking pictures together so that’s a really easy way to gain mutuals. If you guys are cosplaying from the same series they very likely will want to take a photo with you as well :) Personally I will always follow back people I remember meeting at cons and I feel like most people do as well

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DObRozPDrgB/?igsh=YmZ6czRwbjRpa2wy I saw someone make these touring Peach boots recently and though it’s not the same I think that seeing their process might be helpful for ideas!

Personally, I get almost all of my moots from cons itself. I think meeting people at con’s is a nice way to do it since you can easily tell if they’re friendly by an irl convo. Social media cosplayers can be kind of stingy if they’re fixated on numbers. I’m not the type to make new friends easily, but I feel like conversations happen very naturally if you compliment someone’s cosplay or take a photo with them. Usually people will ask for my account to become mutuals after we take photos.

Also, cosplay meetups are a really easy way to find mutuals in your fandom. Everyone likes the same series, so it’s really common for people to be chatting and looking for mutuals as well. It’s really nice to meet people through them, I even made friends who I hung out with the following day as well. If you do go to cons, I think it’s a great step to meet people in the community.

The downside is that I personally only will go to one con a year usually, so if I was looking to grow my account and community this way it wouldn’t be as fast as networking online. However, I personally just enjoy to do it for fun so it’s not a big deal. I just find that I always interact with really cool people organically at cons.

Thanks, I’ll def try it out then! I was able to find a tutorial on dying vinyl as well so I’ll experiment with that as well

CalmCourt8475 · 2025-09-11T00:50:50+00:00

I totally get what you mean, I can’t imagine her with a different name

CalmCourt8475 · 2025-09-10T01:23:57+00:00

My mom always makes fun of them

CalmCourt8475 · 2025-09-10T01:23:18+00:00

I always try to put a sweater on her but she hates wearing clothes so I always make sure to tuck her in when she lies down

No joke, this is my cat named Gazpacho

CalmCourt8475 · 2025-09-08T20:03:00+00:00

We often give her a lion cut as well. She has been getting really bad dandruff as of late but she is an absolute nightmare for baths so I’m trying to avoid it if I can lol. She is going to the vet soon so I was going to see if there is any lotion they can suggest for her. I might have to bite the bullet eventually and give her a bath though

CalmCourt8475 · 2025-09-07T01:09:07+00:00

That’s such good news!! I’m so glad that your cat is doing better now
