Y'ALL FOLLOWING HERE I DON'T USE THIS TUMBLR ANYMORE, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE BUT I'M OVER AT @luckygandor, WHICH PREDATES THIS ONE
“How lucky indeed.”
Uploaded these to Twitter and Instagram the other day but I completely forgot to put them on Tumblr. Critical Role had been a phenomenal positive impact on my life, so after escaping the confines of academia, Vax was the first big project I turned to. Liam, as well as the rest of the cast, created a character that carried me through difficult times. I’m planning on bringing this back to Anime Boston in oh my god it’s in two weeks what the heck, and I hope to run into as many Critters, old and new, as possible!!

I’m really bad at staying consistent apparently, but I’m finally working on a cosplay instagram and ‘sailorcosmoscosplay’ was way too clunky, since my end goal is just making friends, not achieving any sort of cosplay fame? So that’s the explanation for Yet Another name change. Once I get pictures from my Vax shoot at Katsu, I’ll finalize the new instagram and find all my con friends!!
Guess who’s going way too hard for Thursday of con
WOW gosh and golly, it’s been over a year since I used this tumblr. Suffice it to say that academia absolutely killed me because I don’t think I even posted anything from last Anime Boston, and I didn’t even properly cosplay to ANext, Flamecon, or PAXU.
I’m doing Critical Role hell this con, so keep an eye out for me as Vax on Thursday/Sunday and Jester on Saturday!! Friday is a weird situation so I will be ghosting as Mimkyuu (pretend.... i’m funny....) more likely than not.
I’m excited to see all my friends again!!
Cosplay Tip:
If you’re always “playing it safe” with costume choices, challenge yourself with a difficult costume; one that will really encourage you to learn something new.
Bluestocking Cosplay -> Sailor Cosmos Cosplay
Trying out something new while thesis #2 keeps me from having fun!
Unexpectedly, I’m missing Otakon for the second year in a row, and I’m going to be out of the country for NYCC, so this sounds like it’s it for new 2016 cons!
Some notes:
- Juliet (Red Whirlwind) was finished but never worn out of sheer exhaustion, but it’s something I definitely hope to break out properly.
- The Kotori cosplay worn was from the unidolized Marine set instead of constellation, but honestly this was a placeholder for any ol’ Kotori cosplay. This was also the only one that I did not make personally.
- Haruka was done as part of the Lolita group at Sakura Sunday
- Unplanned cosplays I finished were Hakuryuu Ren, Atsushi Nakajima, and Gunilla (Magnus Chase).
That makes nine cosplays finished in the first half of the year, in addition to schoolwork! I do plan to finish a lot of these unfinished ones eventually, but since the rest of the cons I wanted to do this year are off the books, I’m going to do a hard restart here and get started on what I want to do in 2017.
I will be posting WIPs as I work into the rest of the year!
“Bears follow bear instincts!” katsucon 2016
With the amount of stuffing this cosplay ended up using, this was by far my most comfortable cosplay to date, I’ll be entirely honest.

I’ve been swamped with post-Anime Boston, pre-Zenkaikon life, but now that things are calming down, I got some awesome pictures of Rey again from Friday of AB!! I’m so impressed by how sweet this fandom continues to be, I love being Rey because of how nice everyone is.
