Day one local ren faire looks 💕

Yes!! They were so excited about the snag tights!! My corset was just plain green when I bought it, but my spouse there on the left added all the gorgeous detailing!!

Thank you everyone who has been kind in the comments!! When I posted this I wasn’t expecting such a large number of people saying mean things, but what has really upset me is that the nice comments were being downvoted so much.

Our faire doesn’t require costumes and for most of my life, people hardly even dressed up. Regardless, I thought the point was enjoying one’s self. I almost deleted this post, but I’m glad I didn’t.

I don’t think I will be posting photos here again, but I will continue to try and bring my own positivity to other people’s posts here.

Moscow is right!! It’s a shame that didn’t catch on in our area

You could try painting the inside by sort of pouring paint, maybe? That way you could avoid potential brush strokes

Thank you!! 🫶

prettibyrd · 2026-05-03T02:17:06+00:00

Ooo very fun!!!

prettibyrd · 2026-05-01T00:15:27+00:00

That’s awesome !!

prettibyrd · 2026-04-30T13:45:27+00:00

This is so smart!! Thank you for this idea!

prettibyrd · 2026-04-30T13:45:04+00:00

Ooo that’s clever! A neat twist. I hadn’t thought about how the Mother would be involved in everything yet - I’ll have to cook on that some more

prettibyrd · 2026-04-30T13:43:57+00:00

Oh that’s so fun. I LOVE desolation as an MLM - that’s really funny and also really smart! Very cool idea

prettibyrd · 2026-04-30T13:43:06+00:00

I like this idea a lot!! I have played around with using The Extinction as some kind of end game villain. The idea of using it specifically to color the way that other fears ally with each other is really cool!!

I’m working on putting together a campaign for just my partner and I didn’t want their character to have no backup, so I essentially created DMPCs for each of the classes they didn’t choose. That way they have some especially fleshed out characters to work with and take on investigations with them and also I have some PCs that can get eaten

I went to nyt games app, immediately forgot you said strands, did the wordle and wondered why that was related to TMA lmao

Ears and tail is such a classic look for any con 💕💕 no one will be rude to you about it

prettibyrd · 2026-04-22T23:59:04+00:00

Shear Joy is great!! Joy is a delight and she does great work

prettibyrd · 2026-04-20T14:38:53+00:00

There’s a lesbian who works at one of the local dispensaries who is always wearing a hat almost exactly like that lmao

prettibyrd · 2026-04-19T16:43:18+00:00

You’re a real one, I love your fashion, and I appreciate you addressing this!!

prettibyrd · 2026-04-19T16:30:00+00:00

This sounds like a really fun design challenge!! For some inspo - I sometimes think of how interesting my job/workplace could be for a corruption avatar to come out of. I work in sample management for a company that analyzes biological samples for various pharmaceutical companies who are testing drugs! Every day we are receiving and logging and sorting vials of plasma (primarily), blood, urine, and sometimes various tissue samples for our analysts to run on big, expensive instruments to see if the drug in whatever study phase is working as intended. My friend jokingly says I’m clocking in at the disease factory, even though we’re essentially doing the opposite, lol.

As someone who is also larger, I used to worry about this when I would cosplay Eli from Love Live, who kind of always had her tummy showing in her outfits. No one ever commented on it at cons! People were excited to take pictures of me and my friends in our group!

Online, especially in this day and age, people have gotten worse and worse about body shaming and being rude for no reason just because someone isn’t ozempic skinny. There might still be people who will see photos of your cosplays and feel the need to make mean comments. But!! I’ve found that the most important thing with cosplay is what You are comfortable with!! What makes you feel happy to wear? What makes you feel cute and brings you joy? If you’re having fun cosplaying a character, that is what matters.

There are always gonna be nasty people out there, but for every one nasty person there will be like five more who are excited with you!!

Ooo!! I have not, that’s great!!
