I am also feeling the post-con sads! Hope you feel better soon Mol 💚
We had our full Warhammer Fantasy table all together for the first time, it was the best! I love our Hams

Oh Dragonmeet you were so lovely.

An absolute pleasure to see my friends. Of course I took no photos as I was too excited all the time, & I missed some people that I wanted to see, but otherwise it was a true joy of a weekend. 💚

If anyone needs me I'll be in a blanket experiencing severe con drop.
A large group of assorted people throwing up peace signs for the camera. Another group of people in a common food hall area, sat around a table and smiling at the camera. Three silly gooses with a fourth even sillier goose in the background. The silliest goose of all. Ayfa smiles at the camera while wearing antlers.

Happy early Hallowe'en!

In this house, practising self-care means finally getting around to your Joan of Arc cosplay. I really love how it turned out.

(I'll also happily accept comparisons to Celestine, the Living Saint.)
A vertical portrait of Ayfa in cosplay. She's wearing a short black bob wig, a gold halo, a steel gorget and pauldrons, and a black corset and turtleneck. She holds up a steel claymore in front of her. (There is also some dramatic, pious gazing involved in the picture.)

Four books to get to know me.
"The Tombs of Atuan" by Ursula K. Le Guin. "Annihilation" by Jeff VanderMeer "Dune" by Frank Herbert. "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Got some pretty nice post today.
On a larger cream-coloured bedsheet lies a sky-blue towel. On the towel is a set of steel pauldrons and a gorget, all with dark leather straps. Please imagine an extremely excited 36-year-old woman making a LOT of noise while taking the photo.

I finally got myself a LotR tattoo ⚔️

For me, this is about the flaws that broke past versions of you being remade, reforged into something stronger, something that can help drive away darkness.

You don't have to destroy the past. You can make it better.
Ayfa, holding her phone out ahead of her at waist-height, is taking a selfie. She's wearing big glasses, a gold necklace, a black t-shirt, and tan pants. On her forearms are two new Lord of the Rings tattoos: on the left arm is the shattered blade Narsil, on the right arm is the reforged sword Andúril. She's smiling with one eye squinted shut.

Bought a cute new dress that makes me feel really good about myself. Of course, I had to pair it with my other casualwear. As you do.

(Do you swear fealty?)
Ayfa is taking a mirror selfie. She's dressed in a calf-length green dress, black leather pauldrons and faulds, a length of faux-fur slung over her right shoulder, a dagger at her belt, white antlers and a crown of forget-me-nots, and a large claymore sword.

In lieu of a list, here are some games that sum me up. (Also my Kallax looks so cute!)

I can also be found extolling the virtues of Delta Green and Warhammer Fantasy RP.
A black-brown Kallax 2x2 bookshelf. One the bottom shelves are wicker baskets with the contents obscured but for a single golden feather. On the top shelves are notebooks, poetry books, Warhammer 40K mini kits, some vinyl records, and various TTRPG books. They include Morg Borg and the CY and Corp supplements, 40K Wrath & Glory and Imperium Maledictum, Mappa Mundi, Inevitable, Shiver, and The One Ring. Sitting on top of the shelves themselves are binoculars, ornamental plants, a golden crown, and two daggers.

I've been busy lately with other stuff, but I need to take a moment to shriek excitedly about my first ever commissioned OC art!

This is Muireann, my beloved Selkie-kin Fey-touched rogue from @feyearth.bsky.social's game. I'm so obsessed with her. 💚

Art by the INCREDIBLE @hortensjjja.bsky.social 💚
Muireann (pronounced "MWIRR-ehn"), a selkie-type human woman, stands in waist deep water, looking up at the observer with an expression caught somewhere between malevolence and invitation. She is wearing black. She has pale skin, long black hair, dark eyes, and slightly pointed ears.
