Since I’ve been cosplaying for so many years, Ive been trying to think of a way I’d like to archive my OLD ASS cosplay photos. Even if my and my photographers’ skills are’t what they are today, I still have a fondness for all those goofy and weeby pics! They’re snapshots of fun times in a very dark time of my life, and I think its important to look back and appreciate where I’ve come from on my cosplay journey. 

Cosplaydotcom wiped all the past comments I used to have on photos with their new formatting, and tbh I don’t trust their photo resizing issues have been resolved lol. ACP also has limitations in how/what I can post even though I do like it’s date/details/contest list features. Deviantart I completely ghosted, but I DID like to  have it to showcase the works I’m more proud of. Not really a good archive choice imo. Tumblr seems to be the most unchanging, retains better photo quality than others, and has less restrictions (since I didn’t start many lewd cosplays till recenly.) Also the tagging system is wonderfully customizable.  So to my few gem of followers here! I’ll probably be posting some old ass shit in the near future! Have fun riding along memory lane! 

I just need to figure out how i want to format them? individual posts would be FAR too many! this is...damn, 18 fucking years of cosplay??? LOL. And before I was a worker member of society I was sometimes churning out 100 half-assed cosplays a year lol. 

I also am undecided on making emotional blurbs about each event/cosplay. there were a lot of good times, but i can be overly-sentimental and I dont want to come off as bitter or hung-up at the ending of old flames and friendships in group pics and such. thats something  that probably belongs on my personal, password-locked blog lol.

I thought itd be fun to have on a personal site where Im in TOTAL control. but taht  usually costs $$ and more time than I currently have. Plus if it were a site, Id rather have it be more of a portfolio than an archive.

i feel important to like 3 whole humans on the planet and like im a convenient footnote to everyone else. 

spoiler: my bf is not one of those 3 people bc he cares more about food and comfort than he’s ever cared for me.  and now that im done he’s trying to care but IS COMPLETELY IN DENIAL even though Ive tried having the breakup talk 3x trying to let him down gently. but if he cant respect my feelings im going to dropkick this relationship

has anyone else experienced artists who comment/dm out of the blue and try to push you into ordering a commission? as someone who works in sales, i almost respect the hustle of getting over people's objectives, but its done so tactlessly that I still find it more cringe and offensive.

its happened twice on my cosplay acct. and btoh times i thanked them for their time but told them im not interested multiple times, and they'll still keep going until I block them. They DO have their own socials, so i dont think its just a bot. i wouldnt be surprised if its ai scammers tho.

when i watch rwby or dead fantasy i remember how i used to want to learn coding for games. but i kept being told its hard and i probably wont like it, so i got too afraid to try.

anyway, im watching rwby/dc and i feel it again. maybe it'll become yet another hobby
