Totally hope to learn how to make shoes this summer.

Because a friend wants to do a Monster High cosplay, and shit son it would just plain be bad-ass to make my own shoes. :3

Earth 11 (rule 63) the Hat cosplay. Justice League Elite/Superman vs the Elite.

Probably going to do an Earth 11 Manchester Black next, but need to re-dye my hair and wait for my photographer to get back from Singapore.  

Speaking of: Photography by Jeramy Paxton.

Oh hello personal blog.

Man. I haven't touched you since Ikkicon. I've been all distracted with that whole rp thing.

And my like....seven rp accounts on here that I rotate between....>.> I might have a little bit of an addiction.

Oh hey did I do more cosplaying recently? Would you look at that I sure did! :D I'll post some next because why not? 

I also might start coming back here to get out some of my tangents and stuff about how stupid people are. Or giving dating advice or some shit. Basically I do what I want this is a personal oh hi there.

Some more cosplays from ikkicon 8 (2013)!

[mostlynerdery-blog-blog]

Mah Franken Fran cosplay. The bolts were done last minute and it's kind of obvious, but we've got until summer to re-do them and already have our next plan! 

I was only able to don it the one day because I was helping at a booth the first two days of con, but when I found a Stein we of course couldn't help but support that multi-verse ship via photographs and wondering around together Sunday afternoon being adorable! :P

And then in the next one, "Yeah yeah yeah, you're a God. But this! What did you say it was? A Tesseract? Fascinating! :D"

[mostlynerdery-blog-blog]

It won't let me upload photos. WTF?!

seriously tumblr, why you glitch like this? *sigh* try once more....

[mostlynerdery-blog-blog]

Breifly logging back onto my mundane account to post pictures.

From ikkicon. Yeah yeah yeah, been over on rp accounts instead because easier to pop in and out of/keep up with and still keep up with school and what not too. >.>

Cosplay project for this semester. 

A friend of mine bribed me with a custom leather mask if I return to vampire WOD LARP with a nos, so I figure I can have this mask made. Then the cloak will also serve multi-purposes as I intend to get it thick enough to be used as cold-weather appropriate attire for my elf costume for ren-fair this year. 

As for the body suit, that'll be the real experiment. Need to figure out which kinds work best, and what paints work best on them. Once I figure all this out and how the material I can afford behaves in general, I can make plans for a Cats musical styled Cheshire Cat costume. :3

Tried making a fancy sugar topping for my creme caramel. But it didn't really turn out. For one thing it's too big. For another: 

"WOE UPON THOSE WHO WOULD DEVOUR MY FLESH. WOOOOOE!"

Activity thing? This some bullshit. Dislike. No. Stop.

virginity is a social construct

[mostlynerdery-blog-blog]

virginity:

is sexist

is heteronormative

commodifies sex

commodifies young cis-het white women

contributes to rape culture

contributes to slut-shaming

erases queer folk

erases transfolk

frames a woman’s worth as inversely proportional to the number of dicks that have been inside her

ALWAYS thought this. Glad to see it written out.

“We went to Kineshma, that’s in Ivanovo region, to visit his parents. I went as a heroine and I never expected someone to welcome me, a front-line girl, like that. We’ve gone through so much, we’ve saved lives, lifes of mothers, wives. And then… I heard accusations, I was bad-mouthed. Before that I’ve only ever been “dear sister”… We had tea and my husband’s mother took him aside and started crying: “Who did you marry? A front-line girl… You have two younger sisters. Who’s going to marry them now?” When I think back to that moment I feel tears welling up. Imagine: I had a record, I loved it a lot. There was a song, it said: you have the right to wear the best shoes. That was about a front-line girl. I had it playing, and [his?] elder sister came up and broke it apart, saying: you have no rights. They destroyed all my photos from the war… We, front-line girls, went through so much during hte war… and then we had another war. Another terrible war. The men left us, they didn’t cover our backs. Not like at the front.” from С.Алексеевич “У войны не женское лицо”

In Soviet Union women participating in WWII were erased from history, remaining as the occasional anecdote of a female sniper or simply as medical staff or, at best, radio specialists. The word “front-line girl” (frontovichka) became a terrible insult, synonimous to “whore”. Hundreds thousand of girls who went to war to protect their homeland with their very lives, who came back injured or disabled, with medals for valor, had to hide it to protect themselves from public scorn.

This has always happened in history: Women do something important. Then they get shamed for it (so nobody will talk about it) and it gets erased from history.

And then certain men will say: “Women suck, they’ve never done anything important.”

Look into history and learn that women have played a far greater role then douches (present and past) wanted you to know.

This reminds me of how Egyptian women, who participated in Arab Spring protests in great numbers and were critical to the revolution that ousted Mubarak’s regime, have only been treated with great disdain and violence for their passion and work.

Remember that time I made a post reminding people that okaying women for front-line combat is not the beginning of women fighting in wars, but only the beginning of men finally realizing we weren’t going to shut up about it? Remember after I posted that some dudebro came into my inbox and tried to claim I was wrong and that only a few “rogue women” were fighters?

Again, we have fought in every conflict and every war since the beginning of time. We’re the ones most likely to be victims of war crimes so you better fucking believe we fight for our homes, our people, our lives.

We fight alongside men and help them, save them, die for them as battle buddies and they turn around and write us out of their histories. They erase our efforts, our sacrifices, our deaths.
