Excited to cosplay Todoroki at Sakura-con!
(Cosplay) Year in Review: 2018
Whew! 2018 was a crazy year. I did get the chance to try out some new cosplays and attend a couple of conventions, and spend time with friends, though! I thought it would be fun to do a quick recap of my cosplays for the year, so here we go!
Sakura-Con 2018
Sakura-Con is in Seattle, Washington, not too far from home, and it's always an exciting chance to visit good friends and my sister who lives near there.
At the convention, I cosplayed Kageyama and Shirabu from Haikyuu!!, and a Pirate AU version of Nagisa from Free! The Pirate AU Nagisa cosplay was built pretty much entirely from scratch (including the bird, which was once a sock).
Magi Photoshoot in the Park
I broke out my Alibaba (Magi) cosplay for the first time in a while last spring, too. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed cosplaying him! I worked so hard on his sword, which is carved out of wood and has real red tiger's eye stones set in it, so I always have a lot of fun swinging that around.
I was able to get a few pictures of my Kageyama cosplay outside of cons as well during a photoshoot by Jordan Nutter at a local park.
Lilac City Comicon
When Lilac City Comicon rolled around, I was pretty overloaded, so I decided to just stick with a simple cosplay that I love, which is Kageyama from Haikyuu!!. I went as casual Kageyama one day and went in uniform for the other.
Remaking Kageyama's Crown
My homemade Kageyama crown started wearing out pretty bad by summer. It was flimsy and battered and I was sure after all I'd learned that I could remake it better than ever--so I did. The new crown is still a bit fragile, but it is more flexible, easier to repair, and I'm a lot happier with how it looks. Just like the old one, it is mostly made out of paper, paint, and a tiny bit of fabric.

Kuronekocon 2018
Kuronekocon was a lot of work with two new cosplays (Adrien from Miraculous Ladybug and Panini from Chowder), but it was a lot of fun and it's always nice to meet new friends and catch up with old ones. I also cosplayed Kageyama from Haikyuu!! and did a quick evening Nagisa cosplay (from Free!) on the last evening of the convention.
Pandora Hearts Photoshoot
I had the chance to get a few pictures of my Oz cosplay (Pandora Hearts) during a photoshoot with Jordan Nutter which was exciting, too!
Cosplay Halloween Party (Rowan Witch Kageyama)
For Halloween I went to a get-together with a few friends to celebrate, and threw together a very, very quick and informal Rowan Witch Kageyama cosplay based on a Haikyuu!! AU fanfic that I've been writing.
Stardew Valley Holiday Party
Last month was also my first time cosplaying Elliott from Stardew Valley! We had a whole Stardew Valley group at the holiday party this year!

It's pretty shocking to look back and see just how many cosplays I've worked on last year! If you want to know what I have planned for this year stay tuned--I'll have a post up soon with some of the exciting new cosplays I have planned, from some of my favorite AUs, beloved classics, and a popular hero anime.
What was your favorite cosplay of the year? :)
Creating cosplays, watching too much anime, convention (mis)adventures, and so much more.
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve started an official blog for cosplay, anime, and other geekery, so I’ve linked that here in case anyone is interested! I’ll try to post cosplay tutorials and updates there when I can, as well as anime reviews and news, convention-going tips, and lots more.
Social Media Links!
With Tumblr steadily sliding downhill… I thought I would share my social media links for anyone interested! I’ll probably still be here on tumblr in theory (unless they kick me off) but I may not be here as often, and I have noticed a lot of other people running for the hills, so here we are: Pillowfort https://www.pillowfort.io/rynthae This is where I’ll be sharing a lot of my fandom stuff, posting fanart and fanfics and screaming Kagehina into the void.
WordPress https://michellebriannaropp.wordpress.com/ This is where I’ll be sharing a lot of my original fiction and writing! I’ve been doing a bit of freelance writing and have also been working on a couple novels and short fiction pieces. I’ll also be sharing writing advice, book recommendations, tips and tricks, and more! Archive of Our Own https://archiveofourown.org/users/rynthae/works This is my main AO3, which is almost entirely Kagehina. Might write Klance in the near future on this one, too. https://archiveofourown.org/users/rynwritesheresometimes/works This is my other AO3 which is primarily dedicated to Cute High Earth Defense Club.
Fanfiction.net https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1270457/rynthae A conglomeration of fanfiction. I don’t update here as often as AO3 but stuff ends up here eventually. Usually.
Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rynthae/ My main instagram, mostly cosplay and art related!
https://www.instagram.com/michelle.ropp.violins/ My violinmaking instagram! I post WIPs, pictures of finished violins, and videos of them as well as random repair projects that fall into my lap. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rynthaecosplay/ Gotta admit, I don’t use facebook much. It’s kind of dead. But I do technically have a cosplay facebook if that’s your go-to social media site.
Twitter https://twitter.com/Rynthae Not a huge fan of twitter, so I don’t use it as much either. But you can find me here as well. DeviantArt http://rynthae.deviantart.com Been awhile since I linked this anywhere! Here’s my DeviantArt if anyone wants it. I don’t update it as often, but it gets a mix of writing and art. That’s all I can think of for now, but if you are looking for me anywhere specific chances are pretty good that my username, if I use the site, will also be rynthae over there. If you would like to see me anywhere that I’m not currently using or have questions or anything else just send me an ask or a message! :)
Hey everyone, just fyi if you need to find me elsewhere!
CONTEST ANNOUCEMENT: Chapter four and five of my Haikyuu!! AU, Rowan and Roses is up, and I am opening up an art contest for the fic! Now through midnight October 31st, 2018 (Pacific Standard Time), create art of your favorite scene or character of Rowan and Roses, post it on tumblr, instagram, or facebook and tag / @ me in your post. I’m rynthae on instagram also, and Rynthae Cosplay on facebook. Three artists who enter will win one of the three above prizes! 1st Prize: Signed Rowan and Roses art print of each Kageyama and Hinata, a howlite pendant (just like the one from the fic), a wolf charm pendant with real wolf fur from Shy Wolf Sanctuary, lavender tea, earl gray lavender tea, and honey sticks. 2nd Prize: Signed Rowan and Roses art print of each Kageyama and Hinata, a wolf charm pendant, lavender tea, earl gray lavender tea, and honey sticks. 3rd Prize: Signed Rowan and Roses art print of Kageyama, wolf pendant, lavender tea, earl gray lavender tea, and honey sticks. As a quick note, I will be reblogging and reposting entries and winners, possibly on multiple social platforms, so that I can keep the entries together. I will credit you anywhere that I do repost for the contest. Chapter Excerpt: Hinata needed out. He needed to get out, needed to get away from this place. He couldn’t face Kageyama, couldn’t face anyone, not now, not ever again. He ran to the door and reached up with his paws, but they rolled off the handle uselessly. He scratched at the edge, trying to force it open. He cried in frustration when it refused. “Hinata?”
A few Haikyuu pictures from recently! The Hinata is kurojelly23 on instagram and she took all of these amazing photos except for the selfies.
I just finished drawing Sun God Hinata from @esselley ’s “Somewhere to Belong”! A friend expressed interest in also cosplaying Sun God Hinata and asked if I would draw something for it. I am still so amazed and feel doubly blessed to know not one but two amazing people who cosplay from Esselle’s amazing fics!
I just finished drawing my cosplay plans for Kageyama from "Somewhere To Belong," @esselley's Sun God Hinata AU! I am so, so excited to cosplay Kageyama from this! This fic is very near and dear to my heart, and I reread it all the time. I know an amazing Sun God Hinata cosplayer as well, and we're hoping to meet up for photos at some point as well! (We may also try to cosplay Kagehina from "Heaven Sent" down the road, as well!)
When I heard that 70% of the National Butterfly Center is going to be mowed into the ground, I was shocked. It is a protected habitat for many endangered species, and has been community funded and privately owned for years, but the government is seizing the majority of the land due to its proximity to the US/Mexico border without due process or compensation, and will be destroying invaluable habitat for endangered species—home to over 200 species of butterflies, as well as rare plants and a wide variety of birds—for the US/Mexico wall. They have already damaged significant parts of the center by mowing down rare host plants without any warning in order to do surveys. This will be a huge blow to endangered species. It breaks my heart to think of the damage it will do. Please, if you are upset by this too, consider becoming a member of NABA (the North American Butterfly Association), the group that funds the center—or donate to the National Butterfly Center itself. You will have amazing resources available and can learn so much about butterflies and how to help them in your own garden, and the National Butterfly Center needs help more than ever. You can read more about the effects of the wall here: https://www.nationalbutterflycenter.org/ Join NABA here: https://butterflies.naba.org/conserve/naba-membership/
Or donate to the National Butterfly Center here: https://www.nationalbutterflycenter.org/support-nbc/donate-now/form/7-national-butterfly-center-donations It’s easy to appreciate the beauty of American butterflies today. But if we don’t act and defend them now, many of them could disappear forever.

Our Kickstarter for The Rainbow Review has just about one day left—and we wanted to remind everyone that this is an all or nothing campaign. If we do not meet our goal, we will not receive any of the pledges, so please share this with friends and family! Let’s fight discrimination in publishing and celebrate LGBT+ writing and art together!
Here's my lineup for Sakura-con! I can't wait! Friday: Kageyama Tobio (Haikyuu!!), possibly Sugawara Koushi (Haikyuu!!) in the evening Saturday: Hazuki Nagisa (Free!)--pirate outfit in the morning and swimming outfit in the evening Sunday: Shirabu Kenjirou (Haikyuu!!) Not sure if I'll be cosplaying on Day Zero, or who, so I'll be playing that by ear. :)
Join us in celebrating LGBT+ characters and themes in writing and art. Let's bring their beauty to readers and empower creators.
The Kickstarter for our new big project is live! We are working on an LGBT+ inclusive literary and art journal that will feature fiction, poetry, essays, photography, art, and anything in printable format from a variety of writers and artists. With discrimination still a huge problem in the publishing industry, we want to offer a platform to writers and artists of LGBT+ works who have been silenced and celebrate their amazing work. A portion of all the profits will be used to advocate for LGBT+ rights and awareness, and to donate LGBT+ books to libraries to make them more accessible. If this is a cause that you are also passionate about, please check out our Kickstarter and share this with your friends and family! With your help, we can make the world a kinder, better place.
Quick signal boost for a big project that I’ve been working hard on! I am very excited to share it with you all!
I saw a few friends doing the side-by-side cosplay comparison challenge, and although I know I have a lot to learn and I’m always working hard to improve my cosplays, I wanted to do this for fun as well! :)
A few random cosplay pictures from small hangouts around town!
When my boyfriend and I cosplayed Kageyama and Hinata for Eucon, we thought we would give the kabedon a shot! It was a lot trickier than expected, haha.
This was my first year going to Eucon--and actually my first time visiting Eugene, Oregon--where I had a blast cosplaying the freak duo together with my boyfriend. <3 We even have the canon height difference that Kageyama and Hinata have! I had so much fun and can't wait to visit and cosplay together again!
A few pictures from Kumoricon! It was my first out-of-state convention, and my first time going to Kumoricon which was very exciting. I had a lot of fun cosplaying Nagisa, Kageyama, and Shirabu for this. The first two pictures were taken by the amazing @shuttercrazyphotos ! I'm Shirabu, Nagisa, and Kageyama @sometimes-lucas is Ushijima and Rei Haru and Tendou are Spork Cosplay (on Instagram and FB) Makoto is killucos on Instagram Reon/Leon is troublemeetsawesome on Instagram Bokuto and Semi are bubble_prince.cos on Instagram Akaashi and Jin are pufferfish_cosplay on Instagram Yamagata is lucah.cos on Instagram
