The bedroom scene has me by the throat and I like to think that they had a well deserved nap together afterwards

One of the official League twitters posted this and it took me like ten minutes to realize it wasn’t fanart

Oil and water

I know nothing about league of legends (nor do I wish to) but I watched Arcane and it was really great? I came for the steam punk-y atmosphere but stayed for this storyline.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Avatar: The Last Airbender. And Suki is my GIRL. This picture was from Megacon 2009 and to this day is still one of my absolute favorite pictures. I still really want to remake her and make her Kyoshi Warrior armor. ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #floridacosplay #floridacosplayer #cosplayersofig #cosplayersofinstagram #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #atlab #tlab #suki #kyoshiwarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tKu9oDnT9/?igshid=w1vs0tv6xxgz

Back in 2015 I competed in @dragoncon 's Masquerade with @mew21_cosplay AND WE WON BEST FANTASY with our American McGee's Alice skit. Fast Forward 4 years later and I stumbled across the offical pics I never thought we'd see! So I hope you're ready to see these! I also still REALLY need to do a proper shoot of my Royal Alice. What great memories <3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #floridacosplay #floridacosplayer #cosplayersofig #cosplayersofinstagram #dragoncon #dragonconmasquerade #dragoncon2015 #americanmcgeealice #americanmcgeesalicecosplay #americanmcgeesalicemadnessreturns https://www.instagram.com/p/B0l009tIZZ_/?igshid=1sos6gxsrgutd

Here's a flashback for this Friday afternoon! Back when I was cast as Onion Knight in a show called the Final Fantasy Ball. This show holds a very special place in my heart. Not only was this such a challenging costume (this was before worbla or foam) ibused good ol paperclay for the helmet. The sword was wood and wood filler. The character meant a lot to me by the end of the show too. It opened up a world to me I never knew. This weekend I will be auditioning for shows for LumiCon (happening end of October) and Final Fantasy Ball will be one of them I'm going for. Who knows what will happen but maybe I'll end up learning about a new character that will give me new perspective on things and maybe even provide a challenge in costuming or character acting.

Some nights you can't win. You gotta let the rage out and hope tomorrow will be better. But like hell does that mean giving up. Felt real down tonight so I wore one of my fave shirts and got to work. Don't have enough to show but THIS SHIRT THO. I got it at Uniqlo awhile back and it's my fave around the house shirt (cuz it's huge on me). Here's to tomorrow (also changing my hair again. Blonde for a bit while it rests before color) . . . . . . . . . . . #nerd #nerdgirl #geek #geekgirl #outofcosplay #justme #myface #bakugou #uniqlo #mha https://www.instagram.com/p/B0VACgAD4xa/?igshid=j9p32cz4jm33

Hoping to have more progress over the weekend. #noflutter #catwoman #batman #progress #muslin https://www.instagram.com/p/B0FkkbiDPxT/?igshid=umfxchumjivy

So due to things that happened last night Rouge the Bat will NOT be debuting this weekend. (I just can't get her done to my satisfaction before Metro) I am going to push to have her done at AFO and she will DEFINITELY be done for Dragoncon. I'm sorry to all those looking forward to seeing her this weekend. I promise she'll be around for more than one con. I hope you understand 💜 However!!! Samus and Chun Li WILL be debuting. I'll be cosplaying with @tosoto_cosplay. So please if you see us come up and say Hi!! We're excited to meet people!! And make sure to check him out as Ryu in Chessmatch Saturday & Sunday at noon in main events!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #floridacosplay #floridacosplayer #cosplayersofig #cosplayersofinstagram #metrocon #metrocon2019 #metroid #supersmashbrothers #supersmashbrosultimate #samusaran #samus #littlemac #streetfighter #chunli #chunlicosplay #ryu #ryucosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BzyLhHQj0bl/?igshid=89b2ckj32lc
