Sheer. fucking. spite.

A meme

In the top panel, an exhausted Frodo asks “What are we holding onto, Sam?”

In the bottom panel, Sam, looking angry and determined, replies “Sheer fucking spite, Mr. Frodo.”

A couple images from my amazing shoot with @rockerstevo (insta) at c2e2

We really wanted to capture the cinematic quality of the game and I think we absolutely killed it 🌸

C2e2 and Crown Championship will be one of my most memorable events ♥️ I placed 1st for regional and got to compete on the national stage with some of the most talented people I have ever met.
I had such amazing support from my friends and family and have made some quality friendships ♥️ #c2e2 #crown

Colorado cosplayers I put in a couple ounces of effort to create this evolving and collaborative list of local fabric stores!
Please help me out by commenting on the list to add your favs and share for anyone in the state that may need this resource~

Dark blue fabric background with a white text box in front of it. The white text box has light blue japanese fabric designs on it and the words "Colorado fabric stores, an evolving and collaborative list @undeadtoasty" in cream text with blue backgrounds. There is a QR code that leads to the spreadsheet and a map pin for decoration

Im just going to keep posting throwbacks until I have anything new to post 🥲
My boyyyy Jak
My comfort character
The first game I platinumed
My first contest win

I will be making him again with improvements some day~
First iteration was from 2016, the updated one was from 2020

Jak- a green to yellow ombre haired elf, is laying on his stomach at an angle towards the character aiming down the barrel of a *weapon.* He is wearing a blue tunic, khaki pants, large motocross boots, gloves, armor pieces, and goggles.

A comparison image between my first iteration of Jak in 2016 and my more recent version in 2020. Both images feature Jak- a green to yellow ombre haired elf wearing a blue tunic and holding a *firing weapon*. The top image also features Jak's sidekick, Daxter who is an orange Ottsel- which was a felted prop.

My 2020 iteration of Jak standing against a black background with updated leather goggles with 3d printed lenses, updated blue leather gloves and gauntlets, a new ombre wig and goatee, long elf ears from Aradani studios, and the same tunic, scarf, and eco ring that was used from the first iteration

My 2020 iteration of Jak standing against a black background holding a copper colored precursor orb with updated leather goggles with 3d printed lenses, updated blue leather gloves and gauntlets, a new ombre wig and goatee, long elf ears from Aradani studios, and the same tunic, scarf, and eco ring that was used from the first iteration.

Throwback to my first big build- Kili!
The sins in this costume are unending but it was a foundational creative piece that set up the rest of my cosplay habits and dreams ♥️

What people aren't getting about this is that it is set up to DIRECTLY TARGET THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY.
They are finding every route they can to label queer people as sexual predators.
They are pushing for the death penalty for sexual predators.
They want us 💀.

I mentioned it already over on my normie account, but I'm gonna reiterate it here: I never in my life heard my mother say the word "pornography" until she said last year it in reference to gay people kissing in Disney stuff.

It was never about the actual porn.

Barg @barghestblack.bsky.social · Jan 27

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

A throwback to one of my favorite cosplays- Will Graham from Hannibal the Netflix series. I really need Bryan Fuller to see this and know of my love for the show so if anyone can get this to him that would be sick... Like encephalitis boy here. Kthnx ♥️

This is a black and white image with a curly-haired man back to back with himself. On the left, he has his eyes closed and has his head tilted up looking peaceful. On the right, he has ever so slightly turned to look at the camera in a menacing fashion.

Definitely at the point of this cosplay where nothing is fully done and I'm seriously concerned about the final product but I have to keep working and just hope 🫠

Wish me luck. I have 35 days left until apps close and im over 250 hours of work in with a bunch of partially finished garments 🙃

More good news for those looking to exit Meta’s social app ecosystem. An independent dev is building a photo-sharing app for #Bluesky called Flashes. It's powered by the same tech that underpins Bluesky, the AT Protocol, and has been built using code from the devs earlier Bluesky client, Skeets.
