Please also note: this does not mean I'm not pleased you recommended THING for me, I'm glad you were thinking of things I might like.
But yeah. brain goblins.

Please understand that although I probably would like THING you have recommended for me, I can only start a new THING when the committee of brain goblins approve it. I am not on the committee, I do not get a vote

Got the lining sewn on, all the seams serged, and the zipper installed. Next up is the bips near the hem of the skirt and some other decorations, at which point what the cosolay is should be clear :)
(Probably press the hem and install the waistband at the same time because why not?)

Started on a new cosplay this weekend.
Progress thus far: outer layer, liner, and mockup on one piece, mockup of a second (hence the scribbled note to give myself another 3" or so on the final)

Y'know, we keep having all these failed raptures every couple of years. It's definitely time to change the quantum oil, get the divine transmission checked, maybe rotate the philosophical tires....

The Ship of Theseus is supposed to be one of those abstract philosophical questions that start fights, like "is a hot dog a calzone" or "what's the difference between 'right' and 'good'".

So an Indian restaurant looking to move into one of our properties sent over a bunch of documents for me to review yesterday. One was asking us never to share anything about their world-famous bread recipe.
You could say it was a naan-disclosure agreement.

I should put this in my bio, but as a reminder: I block MAGA trolls, but I also block for leftist sanctimony. Today's example is "why do you write about X, when I want you to write about Y, which I have deemed more important?"

I haven't seen this go around much on here, so as a heads up the Anime Expo Chibi legal text under artist alley, you are agreeing to not table at any other Southern California event for an entire month.
This is some wild ass shit.

When we first meet Eliwood, he has just finished sneaking into a den of assassins - by himself! - to rescue a woman he has never met, because she looked like she might need help. Yet Hector is the badass...?
