Hi howdy if you're here for my more music-centered side blog, go here: @thotcontagion

I'll be here and there.

A little about me/some general info:

- I'm 32, and have been on this site longer than I probably should have ever been

- I'm a caregiver and work nights, so most, if not all my posts will happen during odd hours of the night unless I'm on vacation.

- I'm a musician/multi-instrumentalist

- I also make candles when I have the motivation (it's time-consuming)

- I'm kindly asking minors not to follow me. No hate, I promise, it's just a little awkward. I hope you understand!

- If you ever want to DM me, do ask first, but otherwise, I'm always up for making friends!

- I cosplay, so uh...yeah. Expect progress pictures every once in a while.

- I'm on Warframe nearly everyday (PC), so if you ever want to team up, my username is CydonianDrone

- I mainly post/reblog about games like Warframe, Destiny, and maybe some Hollow Knight thrown into the mix

If you read all of this, thank you!

downing a glass of wine before i start sewing because it oddly gives me the motivation to actually do things

I haven't played destiny in ages, but I finally got the gjallarhorn

Submitted my cosplay WIP for the TennoCon cosplay contest. I was cutting fabric until roughly noon, and because of that, I overslept and was so afraid I'd be late for work. I somehow still made it early, despite the fact that I live an hour away from where I work. This cosplay contest has me s t r e s s e d. It's been ten-ish years since I entered a cosplay contest and so much has changed since then.

The day shift nurse made a birthday cake for me yesterday. 🥺My birthday is actually today, but I'm off, so we celebrated early. I couldn't thank her enough for this. I'm truly thankful for my work crew.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the difference in my coats- I was way too heavy-handed with the paint on my first one. On my second one, I finally got a hold of some fabric spray paint and it looks worlds better imo. The first coat just looked sloppy altogether and I just didn't really like it, and that's okay! Mistakes happen, and that's how we learn. I could've given up on this, but I decided to give it another try, and I'm glad I did. Is it perfect? Hell no, and it never will be. It will always have flaws and that's absolutely fine by me.

For the past couple of days, my sleep has been disrupted by loud-ass noises that seemingly aren't even there?? Monday morning, I could have sworn I heard my grandma yelling for me. I jumped up out of bed, and she was still asleep. THEN, yesterday evening, I was on the verge of napping, and as soon as I dozed off, I heard what sounded like someone frantically knocking on the back door. Once again, I jumped up out of bed, ran to the back door, and there was nobody there. WHAT THE HELL

Brought my Albrecht cosplay back to colossalcon. Surprisingly, I got recognized by 4 people, so that made my day.

I didn't expect this to get so much attention but thank you all??? Genuinely?? I regret the fact that I forgot my gold shoe strings, but oh well. There's always next time.

Wearing shoes with no support for literal hours yesterday certainly was a choice. I have flat feet so I'm suffering the consequences today. Very much worth it though. 😅

I WAS cosplaying a swimsuit version of Lotus, but my neck piece came apart. Fixing it when I get back to the room though so I can wear her tomorrow. 👀

I low key envy morning people. I'm a night owl, and by the time my shift is over, I'm beat and ready to go to bed. The guy that comes in after me is so full of energy. He's the kind of person that drains you just by watching him, an energy vampire, if you will. I don't want to sound mean, but by the time I've listened to him talk nonstop for five minutes, I'm ready to peel out. My nerves can't handle it. 🥲

Me: I have zero energy for tonight's shift

Also me: *parkouring out of my chair and running through the hall as soon as I hear my patient trying to get up so they don't fall*

This has probably already been done before, but I made my Follie look like tiramisu, using the kickback sigil for the "dusted cocoa" look.

Finally got a chance to decorate my room some more. It took me forever to find a good spot for my guitars, but I'm happy with where they're at now. Just need to get curtains and I'll be set.

reblogging from my sideblog because i'm genuinely happy with how my room is coming together
