Thank you @bowmarket (IG & @sidequestbooks.bsky.social for running such an amazing urban Ren Faire! 💖

It was a blast teaching folks crafting & history, and I can’t wait for more events like these right in my Somerville back yard!

D&D tomorrow! 🎲

We’re uncovering an elaborate political scheme in the capital city of Oro… but it's irrelevant if we all drown talking to the ocean fey (Selkin) next session 😅
What’s happening in your campaign right now? 👀

🎭 = My character Valor, designed & cosplayed by me!

A cosplayer portraying their Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) original character stands on a fancy marble staircase, leaning on an ornate wooden banister. The room is gold, as is the cape and trim detail on the cosplayer. Their black boots rest of different steps, hand embroidered pants puff out in a Renaissance style, and a dark purple doublet is adorned with gems and Masquerade masks.

The Dragon*Con robes are so comfy, they’re quickly becoming one of my go-to throw-on cosplays 💖

I’m so glad I rewore Valor for Otakon this year! So happy to have more shots of one of my favorite OCs 💖

A metallic, glassy, blue city rises up behind the model, who is clad in greys, purples, and golds. The dungeons and dragons character “Valor” is a half elf man, sitting dramatically on white marble steps, one foot out and one knee up with his hand resting on the raised knee. In his hand is a D20. His gold and purple cape is draped across the stairs and masquerade masks rest on top of the cape.

Dragon look for the #RenaissanceFaire this past weekend!

Feat @turtlesmithy.bsky.social horns & tail <3
A side-by-side pic of a cosplayer dressed as a dragon. Her outfit is all black but is covered in draped chains and shiny metallic belts. She has large but spindly gold jewelry on her arms, and claws on her fingers. There is an expression of joy on her face as she swishes her tail!

“To climb is to strife and to strive— only from a higher vantage may you see how far you have to fall.” ✨

Val is still one of my favorite cosplays I’ve made (and an OC / D&D PC who still lives rent-free in my brain…) I’m so so so glad @ Marlo.louden (IG) caught on to the vibes immediately 💖
A cosplayer portrays their dungeons and dragons character, “Valor”. A half elf with dark hair in a Venetian Renaissance garb looks out a wooden paneled windows a marbled staircase in the distance. The window light illuminates the decadence of the masquerade masks on their belt and the beading and rhinestones on the doublet. A gold and purple cape flares behind them.

Prepping for another photoshoot adventure with @ceryhind (IG) (Lamb) this weekend — always excited for more cosplay shenanigans w/Cery!! (Take a guess what you think we’ll be shooting — hint, it’s an old cosplay of mine I haven’t worn in years!)

Two cosplayers pose on an eerie set of marble steps. The Lamb from Cult of the Lamb, with round red sunglasses, a fluffy white wig, and furry leg warmers descends the stairs and reaches for the dagger that the cultist in red offers to her.

I've been working on some side projects that are very blue in color... which made me think of these old shots of my Lucretia alongside @triellfreschi.bsky.social 's Taako that I don't think I ever posted! 💖

Two cosplayers portraying Lucretia (left) and Taako (right) from the McElroy Family's podcast, The Adventure Zone: Balance, stand in a forest. The late day light adds a golden glow to verdant green foliage that obscures their feet. Lucretia, left, grasps a set of leather bound tomes in one hand, and her white oak staff with a blue orb full of dice in the other hand. The wizard Taako boasts a blue galaxy print skirt, and is shaded by a matching witch hat and parasol, also in Bureau of Balance blue.
