Pictured is Rift standing with their arms crossed, with a white crop top and red kimono-inspired pants. The pants are slit and Rift’s left leg is showing, making the pose appear strong and confident.

Passion project complete! Full story over on Tumblr, TLDR fabric from decades ago and procrastination were crushed by the desire to get this fashion hoodie jacket done for my dream trip to Tokyo. And it’s in Riftwing colors!! 💚

Bed yoga is now on YouTube! Please like and subscribe ❤️ I wanted to share poses that I use in my daily routine, which can be done on a bed, couch, or floor. Even if you do 1 or 2 before you get up and go to bed, you’ve done more than if you didn’t. 🧘 youtu.be/fqhVi1IazSE?...

@riftwingdesigns.bsky.social I used your Hooves Instructable to make these amazing hooves to finish off my faun costume. People were blown away!

I resurrected my Negasonic Teenage Warhead costume for Halloween! Was great to get out to Dupont Circle and enjoy the evening. Most folks knew it was X-Men, but one person thought it was fantastic four. 🤦 Had to give the “Deadpool” clue a few times, and sad I didn’t see one. Also found a Labubu! 😅

Halloween week costume #3 - UA high student, for Japanese class and yoga! Too fun! Having fun with the last My Hero Academia season and this was a great casual cosplay.
Rift is snickering as they have their hand around an anatomy skeleton’s shoulder. They are wearing a UA hoodie. A yoga studio is in the background.

For Halloween week, cosplay #2 was Itadori Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen, and I went to a really fun @profsandpints.bsky.social lecture on the history of ancient terrors! (First pic by michisweets photography at Otakon 2024)
Pictured is Rift as Yuji, standing with one foot on a stage and same side arm on that raised knee, looking confident. Rift is wearing the Yuji costume and is holding a pint of beer in front of a screen showing the “Ancient Terrors of the Night” title slide.

It’s spooky week! Costume #1 was a rehash of cosplay yoga at Sun and Moon as Spider-Man! Have you seen this Spidey? (Spiderman pics by MichiSweets Photography at a con years past)
Shown is Rift as Iron Spider-Man in three photos: sideways on a beam, web slinging, and relaxing with mask off and hands behind head.

Ahhh so excited for season 8 of My Hero Academia! 😁Pictured is my cosplay as Small Might / All Might at Otakon, photo by the lovely @j-nhi-photography.bsky.social!
Pictured is Rift as Small Might, in the classic “hero landing” pose: crouched with one hand on the ground and the same side leg outstretched. The other arm rests on their knee. They are in a dark alleyway.

I cosplay the hero form of All Might (Silver Age) from My Hero Academia too! I made the wig, cape, and belt.
Pictured is Rift as All Might in the red and blue Silver Age body suit, with arms crossed and a smile on their face. A blue cape with red inside is billowing behind them.

My Neighbor Demon-Tiger
A digitally painted fanart of Kpop Demon Hunters. Rumi, a Korean pop star in her early 20s, stands under a yellow umbrella in the pouring rain outside a glowing corner store. Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.
