Hello! I'm Manticore!
I returned to the #cosplay world in 2022 after a long hiatus, and I'm finally able to stretch my skills and comfort zone! I'm a huge nerd for FromSoftware, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, and plenty more. Below are hashtags to look through for specific cosplays! More will be added.

Can't post my long winded ramble about this so:
-Thank you Kira!
-I'm so excited about my updates for this cosplay, because I think it's pretty cute and it's gunna be even better!
-I think I look like I'm ready to be a Zelda OC!

After over a year of toiling on a costume that has a million techniques in it that I've never done before, KOS-MOS is DONE...AT LAST.

Hi, I need recommendations for new lights for my craft room, possibly for craft streaming as well. I'm thinking of Neewer panel lights as I've heard those are good, especially if I can get some that attach to booms so I can place them over my work area. But recs would be highly welcome.

Giving serious thought to taking a year off from social media. It would kinda break my heart because I love seeing my mutuals and their work. Some folks I would miss talking to, celebrating for, etc. Not having access to photographer and con updates would also be a little tough.

I'm bummed out, had to cancel a shoot with the fall leaves in Portland.
Our area is just kinda... scrub trees? They don't really change color. So finding a place to shoot fall themes that's actually pretty is tough.

When someone says "why don't you show me your projects?!" and when you do they go, "oh... that's nice," in *that* specific tone of voice.
That is why lol.

How would you tackle Satori's color changing markings? Especially if you planned to compete with the costume?
I had a plan but I'm curious.

Man I get why people are like “make your own independent website” but like, I want to socialize with other weirdo kinksters and connect over art. I want to talk to people. I like the “social” part of social media and I would rather not have every single option for that destroyed.

We played a ton of Nightreign this week. Trying to lore farm for everyone. We've been beating bosses easily lately.
I have a lot of feelings about the rememberances. I also have a lot of feelings about Revenant and her summons. Girl really named her summons Helen, Sebastian and Frederick.

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Today is one of those days that being in the craft room is *a Lot* and *Lonely*. I don't know what triggers this. I wish I could get over it because it's one of my major hangups with progress at times.
I know many of us find crafting therapeutic but who else has this issue?

A reminder to all my fellow cosplayers if they haven’t figured it out yet: your life will be WAY happier if your reaction to “someone is wearing the same costume as me” is taking the spider-man point picture and screaming at each other about loving the character and the worse points of wearing it

I need to buy some fairy wings to go with this boy's unicorn for the fall fest event in two weeks but omg store bought ones are hideous. I also don't want to buy an extravagant pair.
...am I going to make wings? I dun wanna.

My Gram had a "Get Well Soup" recipe (I'm sure it has an actual name elsewhere lol) that I figured I'd share since I recently had a bug, had no appetite and could barely eat. It's super easy to make even if you're in the absolute worst of it, plenty of time to sit and recover between steps.

#cosplaybuildthread for two new books for Mismagius.
The closed book is mostly in one piece now. I'll hopefully modify it to close with magnets so it'll act like a clutch for cons.

So I have a lot of complicated feelings about myself, and I'm my own worst critic when it comes to my skills. While I felt confident in the moment with this cosplay, I have a number of fixes to make now that I'm no longer on a time crunch!

The "migraine to nauseous" pipeline is real today. Dr Lady is on the case though!
(This cat, guys. She used to be so shy that people didn't know we had three cats for years. She came out of her shell a while back but has been the sweetest girl recently. Lots of cuddles when you don't feel good.)

If someone could just infiltrate my brain and tell me EXACTLY what fabric to use for any given project, that would be great, thank you.
