My closet cosplay of Taako and Lup from The Adventure Zone: Combining my love of TAZ and classic lolita / ouji fashion. Sidebar photo made by @weltaristokratin.

Hello and welcome to Sizzle It Up With Taako! :D

Coord rudown: The skirt is Innocent World Strawberry Rose Garden (long), super hard for me to coord due to awkward length, but the length means the print is visible under the apron! The blouse is AatP, the cape is BtSSB, and I’m just straight up wearing 2 Bodyline wigs, a yellow one on top of a pink one. Honestly the two wigs look better than I expected them to, but the detangling is no fun at all!

Cosplay details: I added a close-up of my sparkly Sizzle It Up With Taako embroidery and a crochet brooch to match the strawberries print on the skirt, because I’m proud of all the work I put into them. Also I’m using a chopstick as a magic wand, because I think it’s appropriate for Taako, what with him being a wizard and a chef.

Thanks to @inkonmynose for the 2nd photo! :D

That moment when Taako realises Hurley and Sloane are now a majestic cherry tree. This was the first Taako cosplay idea I really wanted to do, and this moment in Petals to the Metal was the first time The Adventure Zone made me cry. (The first of many.) Thanks so much to @marcandrefunck , the photographer who made it a reality!

Ahh, thank you for the photo! :D

Here's an older Taako cosplay from The Stolen Century arc, intended to be Cycle 82 (the empty world), photographed in an abandoned hotel (though it doesn't look very abandoned on the photo...).

Finally got some photos of a costume from The Stolen Century, which is my favourite arc! 

Not sure is this still counts as ouji, more of a mash-up of Edwardian bicycling costume and musketeer garb..? Outfit rundown: the weird pants are from Tsumori Chrisaro, the blouse is from Axes Femme.

Having listened to constructive criticism, here’s a more colourful Taako! Taako’s purple thigh highs and poofy shorts in the Murder on the Rockport Limited graphic novel are very inspirational. I’m thinking of making some actual cosplay purple poofy shorts now...

Question for TAZ fans: Does this work as a historically inspired Taako or does it need more bling and zing?

Question for oujis: I’m trying to achieve a Roland-type look with my IW Tailored Bustle JSK and a vest, does anyone have tips?
