i (145M) never told my husband (514M) that when we started dating i was vividly hallucinating our shared ex (262M) to the point that i was opening doors for him and feeling the air on my skin when he moved, and seeing him during intimate moments. the guy we're holding hostage and telling my life story to (70M) thinks this means i was schizophrenic, but i think it was fine and normal. AITA?
I'm so excited to share my most recent cosplay from Connichi 2023!

Keep reading for more details on the making of the cosplay props:
🌸The Satori mask🌸:
I made this mask using worbla on a foam base. The LEDs I used inside the eyes were taken from LED tea candles. They give the light a cool flickering effect.
🌸The right arm🌸:
For Rauru's right arm I wore the runes on top of a scaly glove.
-> First I sewed the glove from a very textured jersey fabric.
-> Then I added some artificial nails on top, which I modified to look like claws.
-> In order to construct the pattern for the runes, I actually had to create a makeshift cast of my arm first. For this, I wrapped my whole arm in newspaper and crepe tape. After cutting the cast open and removing it from my arm, I filled it with more newspaper to make it sturdy enough to work with.
-> This paper cast of my arm was perfect for constructing the pattern, since it could be rotated in any direction (as opposed to my real arm🙃)
-> Using the finished pattern, I made the runes from foam rubber and worbla and shaped them with heat. I painted them using terra-cotta spray paint.
🌸The clothing🌸:
I used satin fabric for a nice and flowing look on the clothes.
In order to recreate the shimmering pattern on the robe, I used heat transfer vinyl.
🌸The armor🌸:
All armor pieces are made from foam and worbla. I've been using this technique for many years, it really works great! The armor pieces were then painted with lacquer and gold acrylic paint.
Making this cosplay was a lot of fun!
Tears of the Kingdom offers so many beautiful designs and outfits.
I can't wait to make more from this game! <3
