"Feels like... I've had this dream a thousand times before..."

To walk the path that would strike down the gods themselves, he had to carve himself into the shape the world needed him to be...

"To gain… and then to lose. To struggle… only to end up with nothing..."

Sometimes in a daze, I still wonder if this is all just a dream…

"...After waking up in that wheat field, will I have to face another endless journey?

this cosplay is carefully pin-tucked throughout to give the dress the lines instead of painting them~ it was perhaps the hardest and most time consuming thing to do about it. I had waited season after season for the hills to turn green and vibrant with wildflowers for this~ I'm so happy I was able to get photos of our favorite tanuki!

You can watch Digimon Ghost Game now on Crunchyroll! It's a really fun series if you love sci-fi/horror/urban fantasy, and more so if you're a fan of Dr. Who!

Hey fellow kids~!

Sorry this account has been quite dead for a long while. 

Post-Great-Tumblr Purge of 2018, I kinda forgot about this site a bit. 

if you want to stay up to date on where I am, check out my caard:

I’m going to try to be a bit more active and push to write more long form things, especially for my own records, and to have another place to post my art and other in depth cos stuff.

Until then, hope to catch y’all soon~

They did drag the overcoat Peter Falk wore in "Columbo" behind a car around the studio parking lot a few times to help it get that way-less-than-kempt signature "Columbo" look. When Amelia Earhart finally saved up enough to buy a leather flying coat like all the grizzled old veteran pilots wore, she realized that wearing a brand-spanking-new coat would make her look even more like a neophyte than she did without the leather coat. So she slept in it for three nights before she ever wore it to the airfield. Put it through at least five washer/dryer cycles. And/or throw it in with your normal laundry every chance you get. Put it in a large plastic bag. Add the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag. (After closing plastic bag very securely) shake vigorously. Carefully decant overall directly into washing machine, wash & dry. Do (some of) what the character is meant to do in the costume. (E.g., if it's a mechanic's costume, crawl underneath a car in it. Find some used motor oil, spread a thin layer in a (cheap disposable) drain pan, and kneel in it. Lean on your elbows in it. Swab some of the oil on cuffs, hems, and those fuzzy yellowed spots you've already created.) Spill coffee on it. Eat a chocolate bar on a hot day, and use the overalls to wipe your fingers. Repeat with tomato sauce, blackberries, etc. - anything that stains. Don't forget grass stains - find a freshly cut lawn and roll around on it. Get it wet, scrunch it into a ball, and throw it into a corner. Unscrunch when dry. (Any mildew stains will be a humid-climate bonus. :) Mop the kitchen floor, using the overall as your mop. (For super-extra-ultra-effect, use it to mop the garage floor.) Daub artistically with black or other-appropriate-color shoe polish. Let your dog or cat sleep on it for a while. And then there's always... take it down to the river and beat it on the rocks. Good luck with your project. :)
