Cosplay - Blog Posts
i made an amazon list for Nibblys costume!!
the shoes and gloves are the exact same, and i’m pretty sure so are the visors, wig, and skirt! the leg warmers are meant to be the things on his arms, but i couldn’t find anything similar sorry
obviously you could change some of this (like the shoes) to be cheaper or change items so that you’d be more likely to wear them normally, but my goal here was to be as accurate to the musical as i could!
ps. if you want the candy prop i’d recommend making one yourself, and i know there are lots of tutorials available <3 (although i think walmart sells them as decorative things maybe?)
Cosplay update! And ducks!

If you've seen my new Ko-Fi goal, Critical Role is coming back to C2E2 in 2025, kicking it off with a live show on April 10th. I figure this is motivation to finally work on my Beauregard Lionett cosplay. I already have the patterns printed and cut out but I still need fabric and some accessories. Working on cosplay, however, also means taking precious time out of working on the shop so while I will be setting aside money on my end to help pay for my trip, if folks would like to help out, I would greatly appreciate it! I even have a cute savings tracker for us to watch the progress!
No new WIP pics this week because I apparently can't read a calendar!
However! We are officially 130 days from C2E2 and yours truly is attending! Not as a vendor, sadly, but I'd like to make my own cosplay for the occasion. To do so, though, means time away from my crafting, so we're going to play a fun game to track progress towards the cosplay AND the con (which is why it's so high). As funds are raised/set aside, we'll color in the corresponding item until either the goal is reached or it's con time. This will be an ongoing goal until April 9th! Let's go!
I need a website that can find an existing sewing pattern for a cosplay. I want to take a picture of what I want and I want to see a matching pattern.
I have a question for the Hair and Cosplay side of Tumblr
I plan to dye my natural hair temporarily for a cosplay. What kind/brand of hair dye should I get that will eventually come out and not stain my hair? And that won't rub off onto my cosplay/ other things and won't stain my skin?
So, I cosplayed Dimple at Otakon this year. It was wild.
Radiant Garden

Koujaku Week: ｢tattoo｣ // ｢scars｣
My probably only entry for Koujaku Week! Everything about his tattoos fascinates me, from their symbolism to everything they stand for in the game/anime. Also, Koujaku is an amazing character and he deserves to be happy.
Photos taken by my little sister Joey (Edited by me). (Special thanks to my other little sister Fiff, for helping out with the light and replacing fallen flowers.) Tattoo from dmmdresources.
At last.
Because running around as Koujaku and Aoba and ignoring the swing is impossible.

Me and my sisters finally finished our DMMD cosplays at least far enough to wear them. :D Still unfinished, still a lot to change, but NyanCon was A LOT of fun anyway.
Photos by @kittendough ... and me
Cosplay shooting with friends! Big thanks to the one who talked me into cosplaying as well, rather than just taking photographs and who took those cool shots then!
By the way, cosplaying Saix on conventions is great! The reaction of other Kingdom Hearts fans is always amazing. Especially the Axel cosplayer are incredible nice and cool! … Is it just me or is AkuSai getting more and more popular?
So, Axel with a ponytail B) And a braid. And a lot of hairclips. Or: This monster of a wig is killing me, send help.
I’ve been breathing nothing else but hairspray for days. It’s not as bad as dying a wig in a room with too little ventilation though, that one can really make your head go funny. x’D
Wow, this wig really makes me go through a lot, and I fear that it might be worth it in the end. Which is terrible because that increases the risk of me doing it again. I’m unteachable when it comes to things like this, ahaha.
W . I . P
Just thought I’d show you what I’m spending my free time on lately. Still so much to do!
AU where Lea and Isa live together and adopt Roxas, Xion and Naminé. They both love all three of them of course, but somehow Naminé turns out to be Isa's little darling.
(About the drums in the background, I vote they belong to Xion. It would be just too badass.)
If you were wondering what I was doing this last week: I sold my soul to Satan once again in order to get those two cosplays done. And on the weekend I went to a con with my (twelve year old. Yes, TWELVE. Look at her, she's HUGE.) sister :D (the second youngest ... I've got four younger siblings @A@)
One day, I will finally manage to start earlier ... >___< (I mean ... my Astrid Cos was done in two days ... well, maybe three if I'd be very strict.) Then I wouldn't be stressed for days. Then I would have time for breaks and a healthy portion of sleep, and I wouldn't forget half of the costume at home <_<"
This was actually a gift for my sister. The cosplays and visiting the con, I mean. She had to win a "bet" first, namely: She had to do without sweets or sweet drinks or very fat food for the whole summer vacation (that lasts for two months here.) And well, she won. :) I don't care for any "beauty standards", but she was really getting into a weight-, and therefore a healthproblem and she definitely needed a push into a different direction. Wheter it helped or not ... well, we'll see.
Either way I am really proud of her, because she proved a whole lot of willpower in those two months, and that is definitely important just as well :)
Guess who was at gamescom '14
and played Kingdom Hearts 2.5? :D
(under the cut, because this will be a long post with pictures)
Yep, I went there. Only on thursday though, I had to work on friday evening. So basically kittendough and I drove 6 hours to Köln (starting at thursday, 4 am), went to gamescom and drove 6 hours back home (with a break overnight; we slept in the car, it was like a roadtrip or something, really cool x'D).
If you ever wondered what sort of a person I am, I am the one who thinks 'Ah, I can't go there, it doesn't pay off for one day', then realizes two weeks before the event, when all the tickets are already sold out, that their favourite game will be featured there, who then gets tickets out of nowhere and goes anyway. If I want something bad enough, I won't stop before I found a way to do it. And I usually find one. xD
So well, kittendough and me somehow arrived at gamescom (as Isa and Isabelle (lol), already in our costumes)
And I was a really happy bunny when I found the Square Enix Shop
And even more so when I finally, FINALLY realized that we just have never been to one hall (everything was just so big, I've never been to any event of that size, so well, shit happens?) and that I didn't misunderstand KH13.com and that there really was KH 2.5 set out to play and ... uhm, i think I spent hours there, without realizing it. x'D
(sorry you random people on my photos)
and OMG it was just sooo cool *A* BBS is just really really great, and it was so cool to play it with a real controller and on a bigger screen and omg omg. I'm soooo looking forward to this game being released!! (still, I have no idea why they colored all the unversed new?) I realised once again though that I really don't like KH2 (and KH1) as much as the other KH games ö_ö The controls are just really annoying. But whatever :D There's a lot of Axel and Saix in this game so I'm looking forward to it anyway.
AND I met those really cool Axel and Roxas cosplayers there!!
The wig of the Axel was just so incredibly cool!!! (even more from the side than from the front) Well, as always when I meet good cosplayer of my favourite characters I was completely awkward and shy xDD That's really annyoing. >.<" Dammit. I completely forgot to compliment the Roxas for the wigs, because she styled both of them. Hopefully the Axel told her… :<
Of course I asked Axel to take a photo together with me, I was waaaay to shy though to ask for a hug or something like that, which would have been totally cool because AKUSAI!!!11!1! but whatever. xD I'm happy with this one as well.
haha, I'm small x'D Well, okay, I'm probably not thaaaat small compared to her, but her wig (and my way of awkwardly standing around) really makes it look like that. xDD
Oh, and look at what I bought! <3
An overexpensive phone strap of wonda-nyan (it was really expensive, but seeing this little dreameater always just makes me happy, so well, now I am always happy when I look at my phone x'D It was really worth it.) and the KH Piano Collection Field & Battle CD <3 You should hear the Lazy Afternoon OST, this version of it is really great!!
So, yeah, it was a really really great day, I'm so glad I did that :) Hopefully I have more time next year (or at least the year when KH3 will be shown there :DD), I'm looking forward to go to gamescom again.
The Moon
Well, I figured after I already mentioned my "The Moon" cosplay, I could as well upload a few pictures of it. Photos were made by a friend of mine who's not on Tumblr. [gallery]
Shiver cosplay! My friend styled the wig, me and my godfather did the fan, and also a picture of me holding my chinchilla also named Shiver!
(How I look with He/They/Xe in my bio fr)
already posted her on tiktok but i wanted to share here !! mahiru koizumi cosplay :D my best girl
I said I would post my costume so here it is
Me, and one of my friends talked about doing group costumes next year. I don’t know if we will do FNAF, or gravity falls, but we will eventually get to the other if we even do group costumes next year. Hopefully one year we will
When I went to MetroCon, I got to meet Robbie Daymond, and he signed my prop gun for free because he liked my Happy Chaos outfit I am very normal about things
So I've been working on making a Shin Kamen Rider cosplay (of Ichigo) and I've accidentally bought two trench coats on Vinted that ended up being women's sizing, it's a real shame cause the second one was the PERFECT material and colour but there's just not enough room for a jacket + armour underneath :(
does anyone have any recommendations of where they get articles of clothing for cosplay? Or is my best bet just hoping to find one on Vinted/thrifting
Cosplay, to the 110 😶
I normally don't repost stuff but OMFG
if anyone finds the op on douyin I'm grateful 🙏
