Hey there! I'm Dewfeathers, cosplayer and environmentalist with a Master's Degree in biology.
Sustainability in cosplay is my passion and I love to talk about it. I have been running my Reduce, Reuse, ReCosplay panel since 2020 and started my blog on the topic in 2022.
This might be a weird take, but I think self-care is an important part of being Eco-friendly.

Let's use my Ewok #cosplay as an example. I wanted to wear it, with all of its fuzzy bra silliness, to an early spring con. I knew I would be chilly, so I made a shawl that fit the vibe of the cosplay. ⬇️

Omg Lady Gaga up-cycled her own wardrobe for the Abracadabra music video???
I mean among other environmental sustainable things. But that's so neat!

So I finally watched the Abracadabra music video and that primal scream in the middle must've hit something in me because why am I crying?

This #BlackHistoryMonth I had the incredible honor of interviewing the founder of #28DaysOfBlackCosplay to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the movement:

🧵1/3 My current big #cosplay build will be mostly second hand materials or stuff I already had in my stash.

Fabric sources: estate sale, pants that didn't fit me, FB marketplace destash sale.

I have also purchased new materials for this cosplay: wigs, nylon glove, decorative cording, etc.

Me: "I can't crochet under these conditions!"

The conditions: my dog using my project as a pillow

I think this is one of the most important things I've read in the last 24 hours.

"Do the next right thing. Don't try to do all of your activism all at once. Focus on your specialty."

My blog is, at its core, anti-capitalist. It's worth it to keep going.

Somehow I missed the memo on Feeds for this app, and now I'm happily scrolling through only mutuals' accounts and I might switch to cat pictures in a minute.

Yes! And take breaks as you need to. Your community will take the watch.
RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost.
They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong.

Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread
Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

I'm watching a calm aesthetic ball gown making video on YouTube.

It would be a relaxing experience if my dog didn't think scissors sounded like barking 🥲

I keep seeing fluffy ball gown content and I might need to make another fluffy dress cosplay.

I got to meet some Ravens and I did it while wearing my hobbit skirt!

When Z and I went to London last September, I really wanted to make sure I got to meet some Ravens at the Tower of London. Why? ⬇️

Ok. I made it to my basement office. It's cold. But I need to do this file maintenance so I can start streaming again 😩

Korok Details! I love that I was able to reuse my Dryad costume for this cosplay. I made the two masks and all of the little accessories out of Worbla.

What is your favorite sculpting material?

He just SPRINTED down the stairs when I was talking to Z about wanting to craft in my basement office again, hahaha

Another step away from fast fashion in cosplay is to make your cosplays -last-. Line that cosplay, finish that seam, reinforce that stress point. Make them ✨️DURABLE✨️ and you'll have costumes you can wear for years.
