I had a dream that Joe Biden kept trying to sneak back into the white house to become the president again and he had a variety of silly disguises like in one he was wearing a big moustache and top hat and introduced himself as Job Iden and tried to sell trump snake oil and trump was super interested until his moustache fell off and then JD vance was like "wait a minute.. that's joe biden!!" amd he was like "welp, gotta run, see ya later jack!" and then all the evil white house staff were shaking their heads cus joe biden almost sneaked into the white house and the newest aid was there and she was like "That was a close call, Mr President" and his new aide was actually kamala harris wearing a big cartoon wig and they were all too distracted by joe biden to notice

do u have any advice on getting into kigurumi? no idea really where to start on like, getting a mask or anything

As much as I gush about kig, I'm not a good person to ask for this kind of advice lol. At most I can point you to links or other people who might have real answers.

Have a look at this. It's a list of makers who sell masks and hada and other kig accessories.

Places to get everything for kigurumi.

The pinned post from @contrastkig also has some juicy info that might be helpful to you.

I also hear that @lyria-kig / @queen-of-moths is open for questions.

Kigs of tumblr, I beseech you! Please lend your advice to this kind anon.

To try and keep things a little more concise than previous attempts... First it's best to decide on a character you like~ Whether an established one or an OC is both perfectly fine, or if you'd rather, some mask makers have their own pre-set, own design, characters you can order called "generics". You can usually change the hair and eye colour of generics, sometimes the length and style of hair too.

Then it's best to decide on the mask type, the vast majority of masks are either 2/3rds (covers 2/3rds of your head) or Full (fully covers your head). Half masks also exist but tend to be smaller proportioned and only cover your face and forehead for the most part. Generally more common for doll style masks than anime.

When getting custom masks you can either get a full custom (self explanatory) or semi custom. The latter is made using a preset "shell" design the maker has, similar to the generic but usually with a lot more options. Afterwards the maker modifies the shell's face to match more closely to your character. Since anime designs tend to fall into certain head designs depending on archetype or genre this is surprisingly accurate despite what it might sound. Ordering is usually through an order form or an email. In both cases you just state what you want, including shell type if semi custom, along with sending reference pictures of your character. Chinese makers are a bit more complicated since you have to buy through an agent like sugargoo usually but the process is mostly the same, just the makers use taobao and you'll be talking and sending what you want and references through an agent (genuinely super easy, not hard to do at all I promise despite how scary it sounds)

Then for a lot of kigs they get some shapewear, usually foam or silicone hip pads and silicone breastforms (if felt needed). On top of the hip pads is usually shapewear shorts and sometimes compression tights, depending on the person, to hold the pads in place and smooth out bumps and wrinkles. That's kinda the basics but some people get butt pads, waist cinches/compression bands too and all sorts of other stuff, all the way up to full silicone body suits. None of it is strictly needed, most people I know stop at the shaping shorts and tights with hip and breast pads. For kigging male characters breast binders and shoulder pads are the most common I hear about. There are more options out there though such as arm, leg and torso muscle pads and even full silicone male body suits.

Once you have shapewear you can measure your body whilst wearing it. You can use these measurements for buying a hadatai that properly fits you in anime mode. A hadatai is the full body zentai/morphsuit thing most kigs wear. Most hada come from china so will require an agent if you want it cheapest and most directly, but there are resellers such as DAME (a western mask maker) that make the process much easier at the cost of a mark up. It can be pretty noticeable if the hada is not quite the same colour as the mask so it's worth asking around and seeing what options people recommend for particular makers. For example Sigma masks are noticeably darker and warmer than GKO masks which are lighter and cooler. Once you have your hada and mask, congrats, you're officially a kig~ You can order specific cosplays, or wear alt fashion or just anything in your closet. The joy of kig is transforming on a skin level into an anime character and as such any outfit you can fit in can be worn in anime mode~

I don’t give a fuck. When daddy gets hungry for poison ham, daddy eats poison ham.

i feel like 80% of fandom discourse would be solved if people realised they don't have to read fanfics they don't like.
