Hi I'm Louise, a Canadian cosplayer since 2001.

I love detail-oriented sewing with a clean finish inside and out. Forever making costumes I can wear to go on an adventure!

Today is a good day to tell an artist about AdorkaStock! 📢✨

Two thin white pose reference models. One of them jumping up with one knee bent, holding an archery bow In one hand, the other is jumping away with one knee up holding a knife in their hand. The two models are actually the same person and they are facing each other dramatically in a stand-off

I have so little time for personal art nowadays that it has become precious to me. This year of 2025 I made these two that I adore - Time's End and Sea of Giants, both for a personal project :)

Time's End, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.

Sea of Giants, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a night scene on a desert landscape with giant rocks, some of them sculpted. A giant statue of a woman indirectly points at a moon/planet in the sky. The sky is full of stars and 4 comet-like phenomenon.

Double wig delivery day! Total coincidence because they're each from a different source with a different carrier

Wish I could internalize this

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage.

The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

I'm used to the not-used-to-having longer nails slip of chopping the tip off my nail while prepping dinner, today was a new one of burning the tip of my nail with the lighter while sealing ribbon ends

Once again, I feel the need to say that just because I'm not actively posting about Major World Events, it does not mean I'm unaware of them or don't care. It means that I just don't have anything to add to the conversation, and also I'm keeping my anxiety in check.

Yesterday me was making perfect progress on this corset-belt and only had to pause to buy boning; today me is ripping out boning channels and re-sewing them .5mm wider
