quick little update on some of the stuff going on in my life right now (not super negative or anything, just under a cut in case i get rambly)

i attended otakon this year, as i do p much every year. though i haven’t talked much about it here, i had an absolutely great time, and i EVEN WON MY FIRST COSPLAY AWARD SLKJFALJ ;A; it was for my anthy cosplay, and i wanna do a write up soonsoonsoon

i s2g the older i get the more i’m appreciating going to cons w ppl i enjoy being around, and not feeling pressured to do/attend shit i don’t want to. the last couple years of me attending cons have been this way, and it makes me happy and excited for more cons to come <3

speaking of cons to come, i am attending katsucon for the first time ever this coming february, and im losing my shit way in advance, mainly bcus i’ve planned some preeeetty big cosplays. something about the pics of the venue just have me saying ‘fuck it go hard or go home’ and after having finished anthy in like 2-3 weeks, i think i’m up for new challenges

both of my father’s parents passed in the last couple of weeks :(((((( its really tough on him, and since i love him, its tough to see him hurting. social interaction really isn’t his (or my) jam so the funerals were...something. but he, me, and my mom and brothers are getting through it.

the way that the funerals fell meant that i was off work for one, then i had vacation time for otakon, and then immediately after, we got the word that there needed to be another one.

this means that all told i was off of work for about a full month, which completely fucked my entire existence up. i don’t like my job, i have long come to the understanding that i only stay because it pays well, and being off for a whole month, even with all the last minute stressful sewing and funeral stuff, was still more relaxing than having to go to work. 

i’ve been back for three days and i can say that if it was slowly eating me up inside before, that feeling has almost doubled after having been gone for so long. plus, while i was gone some new policies were passed down, and since shit always rolls downhill and i’m in the entry level dept, the changes have basically made it so we can’t even breathe without logging it in a system, never mind bathroom breaks >:I

this has me looking for other options, and i actually had an interview for somewhere else today. the only issue is i have absolutely no idea what the new potential position pays, and its temp, which always comes w some risk. 

i’m reallly wanting to just find somewhere where i won’t be burned at the stake for taking a breather. my mental health was jacked the fuck up over the winter due to job stress, and i’m really not wanting to go back to that. hopefully this new job pans out, bcus from the description its definitely way less stalker-y than where i am now

on the few breaks i do have, ive been mulling over my writing. im p stuck on original work lately, but i made the mistake of rewatching advent children about a month or two ago. 

it would have been fine, except almost right after that they announced the ff7 remake and now ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS FF7. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY. its tearing me apartttt lol i was a huge fan when i was younger and i thought i had lost all of my obscure knowledge and crazed shipping but aPPARENTLY NOT ;A; 

i’ve already scrapped previous cosplay plans so that i can work aeris and cloud into my upcoming line-ups, and i’m scared to think how much more this franchise can consume me tbh. i haven’t written fanfic since my glee times but the urge. it is rising. (wouldn’t be anything i’d post here, since i know id get ripped to shreds over headcanoning cloud as trans and seph as darkskinned (zack too tbh)) but still. the urge is there. i am being consumed. save me.

steven universe is STILL ON HIATUS. i have no understanding of what to do w/o my daily dose of queer rock moms, so i’ve been filling the void w ff7 fic (ofc) and watching we bare bears, which is way too cute.

trying to figure out what color to dye my hair next, it was pink and gold, and now its purple but its fading around the edges and i have to pick what i wanna do w it soon

i turn 23 at the end of this month and i’m sort of sick of not doing much/having ppl forget my birthmas, so i’m trying to plan what i want to do and who i want to see (lbr, i’ll prolly end up down the shore, i love the beach too much ;A;)

i also have to start saving for wwhp, i am deterMINED to get there this year. my goals are to buy the official robes from the shop there, try butterbeer (ofc), and stand in the middle of diagon alley in my hermione cosplay. i might also cry a little. shouldn’t be too hard ;A;

so yeah if you read this far, that's whats been up, lots of stuff. new followers, rest assured i’m not always such a blabbermouth, i’ll shut up and get back to posting cosplay real soon lol~<3 <3 <3 <3

on the bus to otakon trying not to cry from excitement :'>

Cosplay reference blah blah blah:

I was trying to see if I have time to put together something together besides Pool Party Vayne but I don't know if that's too ambitious considering I still need to get the following to complete this fucking cosplay (be a pool party champion, I said, it'll be easy, I said...):

abs (i'm mostly kidding. mostly.)

wig (i literally have 6 tabs open right now but nothing looks quite right) 

comfy sandals that are also cute and go with the rest of the outside 

blue circle lenses

so yeah basically all I have is the swim suit and the watergun which I only got first so I could be a dick at pool parties 

if this list isn't complete in the next 2 weeks I'm not allowed to take on any other cosplays this time

i need to talk cosplay to myself for a minute, and then i'll get back to (not) doing my paper

because i'm graduating in august but my steady job ends in june, and i worry about money between then and otakon, especially seeing how hiring has been for places near me lately

and i got my otakon ticket with my tax money so that's set and squared away but then there's other things like paying for the hotel, bus tickets, and finishing the one new cosplay i started, hermione

a friend of mine wants me to be scar to her mufasa, something that sounds like a lot of fun, but i don't know if i can afford it? i'm also fighting myself over the decision to cut two of my planned costumes for this year, daenarys from game of thrones and garnet from steven universe

both of those would cost a lot (especially since i want to make a human sized drogon to carry around with dany and who knows where i'll find a quality wig for garnet that doesn't look plastic as fuck) but i really want to work on another costume aside from hermione, which is mostly store bought

THEN there's the fact that i keep seing art for michiko to hatchin and beautiful brown goddess how could i resist

and theres the nicki minaj super bass outfit i've been putting off for a year and the medli costume that i promised myself i'd do, and ughhhhhh

basically i need to figure out my finances and what's within MY means for this summer and maybe do one small other costume that will give me the creative outlet but not break my fucking wallet

ugh

i wish i was one of those people who set up a gofundme for just about anything, that shit would be awesome, with $300 i could cover room and bus and then handle the costumes myself

but the idea of asking strangers for money stresses me out??? dsiusjfkj

i just want to have something like a going out present to myself for graduating, seeing as i don't get to be in commencement or walk in the cap&gown and its not looking like i'm gonna get it and im a spoiled baby who whines about that on the internet lol

its just been a long semester and i could use some happy ;-;
