After remaking it twice- it’s finally done! (Still have to add a zipper…but that’s for another night) Hoping to debut it at NYCC 2024.

Essek tunic design by the amazing @zmeess ✨

Essek Thelyss created by Matt Mercer for Critical Role

Ladies, Germs, and assorted beloved Fruits, may I present the Zmeess robe, my secret sewing project of the last few months.

We all know I have a soft spot in my heart for the critical role character Essek Thelyss but alas, he never called for me to cosplay him.

The wonderful artist @zmeess draws him SO handsome and designs his clothing SO elegantly that the temptation to sew something grew and grew till instead of a cosplay, I simply had to make one of Zmeess’ wizard robes as a regular piece of clothing for me.

the artwork I fell in love with

Zmeess was EXTREMELY kind in giving me the go ahead to get sewing and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I did some edits of my own to make the jacket wearable and practical (adding a contrasting lining to the torso, keeping it tea length and shortening the sleeves a smidge, adding a few extra beads here and there).I can’t wait to find a day fancy enough to wear it out (the theater! or a nice elegant dinner! a wedding if the couple wont judge me) and once the local weather stops raining I plan to take a shoot outside with some different more natural styling and you can all see it from neck to ankle.

As a plus sized person its always nice to explore volume and purposeful obfuscation of shape when fashion dictates that we take up less room and look as thin as possible. Making myself a big elegant wizard robe that turns me into a mystery is extremely refreshing! As a cosplayer its kind of nice to do a reverse closet cosplay (instead of making a costume out of clothing I own, I am making fictional clothing to go in my regular closet with no costumes involved) and its something i could see myself doing more in the future.

If you are interested in how I made this I will be doing a full breakdown on instagram including the embroidery, pattern drafting/hacking, and all the fiddly details.

dennor for the ship meme!

Ooooh I wasn’t expect this one! Let’s see now...

- shops for groceries: They both do!- kills the spiders: Neither of them. Denmark usually brings them outside while Nor just kind of... chills with them.- comes home drunk at 3am: We all know it’s Denmark.- makes breakfast: Probably Denmark? I don’t really see Nor as an early bird (but he also doesn’t sleep in late either).- remembers to feed the fish: Both? Idk for this one. - decorates the apartment: They both do!- initiates duets: We all know this is 100% Denmark.- falls asleep first: Ehhh... probably Denmark again. He’ll sleep anywhere!

@zmeess: thank you! My hairdresser had a blast. There's a total of 4 different shades (not counting the places where they've mixed) so there's a lot going on right now 😂👍 @yoongisugalicious thanks! Once I realized no one at work (be it colleagues or patients) gave a fuck about what colour my hair is I decided that is colour in whatever shades makes me happy 😃
