Top 4 Final Fantasy games

1. X. Wasn't the first one I finished/ fell in love with. But it stuck with me all these years.
2. IX. Loved the characters and found it v moving.
3. Remake. Took OG and made it so much stronger imo.
4. XVI. FF team finding their pace again. Not perfect but interesting.

Physical media fills me with unapologetic joy.

Right, I never posted the photos of the sword and shield for my Link to the Past cosplay. I didn't have time to weather them like I wanted to but eh.
Shield was on a super budget with whatever gold paint I had in my possession. Gonna redo it to be more reflective eventually.

I feel like this is just a con tradition at this point. 🤣🤣🤣
No worries. I had insoles in them and back up shoes in my car.
Had these since 2013? 2014? So, they had a good run.

Printed all that I could for the night. Gonna bring some of these flowers, too, cause why not.

Struggle bus falling asleep so more shield progress in the meantime.
I would usually put on one more coat of compound and sand it again to make the edge cleaner, but I'm on too much of a time crunch at this point. And honestly also starting to feel the burn out with all I have done.

I have frosted my shield.

Okay, not really, but the sides are filled now and I'll be sanding it later today.

Shield summoning circle and my finished tunic.

The tunic is servicable. I wanted to modify it some, but honestly, with the time crunch I'm in and three more things to finish, I'm being smart and accepting fate there.

Throwback from last year for I totally forgot to post the video of the final product of potlid shield.
I'm still stoked over how it turned out. I basically was working on it last year until the last minute.

Feeling like that summoning circle meme as I continue to chant to myself "Trust the process. Trust the process. Trust the process." Link mirror shield progress though. Attached the trim and cord. Spray painted the hell out of it to help the silver paint adhere. First layer silver.

Have about eleven more days until the con. An attempt will be made.

I'm making another attempt at wefts to make a new Botan wig happen that hopefully won't feel as miserable to wear as the last one I had. 8') Sacrifice of a Miku wig.
Insert Hellmo here

Some days, you feel like doing nothing. Other days, you cut out a whole ass shield base in one go. Mirror shield in Link to the Past style is go.

One pair down. Three to go.

Almost.

I spent some of today again working on jeans. Managed to do all the pinning and then I ironed these waistbands in preparation to attach them.
June 13, 2025 at 3:55 AM
Finally just assembly lining these jeans since I'm happy with how the sizing came out on the one. Still not perfect but nothing is, so it's fine.
June 8, 2025 at 7:06 PM
I continue to defeat jeans. This pair is finally shaping up! And more boy helping.
June 5, 2025 at 11:17 PM
The jeans journey continues. Properly installed this zipper today. I'm gonna keep on rolling until I run out of energy for it for the day.
It's been so long since I've done them that I'm sewing one pair before I sew the other three.
Also pictured one of my OG pairs I sewed back in 2021.

Repost with a female character you love, nerds!! Any series, movie, game, book, whatever.
Vi is my favorite from Arcane, but there's so many good ones in that series.
