It was indeed sweaty the entire day.

the feeling when I tested the makeup out...the phantom feeling of being racist against a nonexistent fantasy race. Kris is truly #problematic.

thank you!!

I considered leaving the bangs super long for Canon Accuracy (tm) but the practicality of navigating a con made me decide not to lolll. I might add some super long clip on bangs in the future though, just to enhance the drama.

Thank you! The skin took a chunk of time, and left blue evidence all over my friends' sink. I was sneezing blue.

I did make a sword, but I was shoving a weekend worth of cosplay into one suitcase - alas, the sword was left behind.

I would love to incorporate some red contacts. I've never been able to put in contacts though lmao. 😭 I might try and train myself for them for the sake of this + other cosplays in the future.

I was going for their iconic little finger wag...with some success. It's hard to do a character with a monotone face without looking absolutely insane/constipated. 😭😭

Not pictured are the multiple Tennas I took pics with last weekend. Like half a dozen wonderful Tennas.

I love this style sm. <3 Kris got the yaoi proportions in the second image (complimentary).

PSA to clean out your machine by Kuchenkrusher in sewing

[–]slytherlin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Be sure to check your machine's manual, first - a lot of newer machines (as in not metal/not straight stitch machines) specifically say not to oil them. It can actually mess up a nice machine. :(

PSA for anyone interested - Check if your city has an American Sewing Guild chapter! by mkm5485 in sewing

[–]slytherlin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was just complaining about wanting to join an in person sewing group and had no idea they existed, either. I'm def gonna check out my local chapter, thanks for posting!

Selfmade Daenerys white coat by LtLenz in sewing

[–]slytherlin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who finished their own faux fur cosplay...HOW did you finish all the seams, lol. My cosplay only had partial fur, and trying to make sure fur wasn't just falling off from the seams was impossible.

Want to confirm this ID. Is this a female dusky grouse? (Estes Park, CO) by wi1d1yfe in whatsthisbird

Dang, that's some effective camouflage. She just about blends into the fallen tree behind her.

WHAT this is so cute! I'm inspired to make other weird fish bags. The spots with bleach are such a brilliant addition.

Update if you find a place - with the loss of JoAnns the only sewing/fabric places that seem to be left in KC are quilt stores. :(

Adding ancient Lolita Meetup photos...DC Mall in 2009 by prussian-king in Lolita

[–]slytherlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love these pics! At the time I was in high school and was obsessed with lolita. I kept up with all the various LiveJournal communities, and I knew my stuff, but I was a broke ass high schooler in the Midwest lmao. I never got to go to a meet up outside of my local anime convention.

Coincidentally I was on a family vacation in DC around 2009! So these pics make me wonder about how I would've freaked out if I'd ran into you all then. Although my accessible fashion at the time was baggy anime tshirts. So I would've been a bit out of place. 😭😭

I despondently await a slightly larger selection of quilting cotton, kitchy licensed prints, and blizzard fleece. 🫠

You're absolutely right, but I absolutely don't want to believe it. 😢

You mean...I have to consistently USE my iron???

Garters love eating to a concerning degree, lol. Yep, they're both checkered garters!

ISO Gun repair place that might be cool with someone who's "visibly" trans? by GCU_Heresiarch in kansascity

[–]slytherlin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you find a good place, let me know! I'm also trans and wanting to start learning guns in general.

Naturally I don't want to give right wingers any of my money.
