Memo to myself:
Don’t use the colour White for a Liquid visual effect on a big screen.
It could be interpreted differently than you intended 🌚

And yes, they totally deserve it!
For years we have been tearing their lawn apart with rehearsals, could build & store our props at their home plus they also raised me, so there’s that 😂
They are as much part of @octobrothers.bsky.social as Dan and I and are very excited for @ecggermany.bsky.social

Since my parents are so kind and help with delivering our stage set for the @ecggermany.bsky.social final I decided to pay for their hotel and make it their birthday present as well. They will only visit the con for a day so they can have a little Paris vacation on me 😎👍 @octobrothers.bsky.social

Since I don’t have the energy to continue my costumes after work right now (due to the stressful Christmas season in bookstores) I decided to start trying out different VFX for #projectstrawberry
Revisiting an old Programm I used sure is fun 😎

Dream come true and I was able to pilot my favorite ship from #StarWars yesterday!
I loved the X-Wing design since I first saw the original trilogy when I was a kid and there was the possibility to actually fly one of those babies at Comic Con, so I took the chance 🌚🤌

I don’t drink coffee and only got some instant one for when friends are over.
Since it was already way past its expiry date I’m using it to dye the fabric for Ichigo’s coat in my bathtub 🤣
If it worked 20 years ago, it will work today! 😎 @octobrothers.bsky.social @ecggermany.bsky.social

Freut uns aber das es Freude bringt und wir sind voller Elan fürs Finale! 👍✨✨
