"I was too late but ... I will protect you with my life." Literally. But he left such a big impact on everyone. (past) Bookman Jr - me, Series: D.Gray-man photo by @_Navaros_ #dgrayman #cosplay

and sometimes the urge to do this resurfaces

i used to write story bits for the weekly photos too but stopped somewhere as people started to be quite demanding that every doll needed a super deep story

Me: This takes so long Also me: writes character stuff nobody will read and nobody has asked for

Fought a hole as project is over (though i found a spot I want to correct but the glue needs to cure first) and did some mealprep and wig sorting to fight it. Now I wanted to work on the drafts got ONE done and then tumblr starts acting up, great

Sorry I don't feel that well today, the lack of sleep got me and i have little to no energy. I went to bed again but somehow everyone wanted something from me so sleeping was off chart. I am trying to draw my character for today and then maybe draft the wig progress

Some more angles

Here we are.

Steamung next then I'll see if I need to cut more

Start - brushed - crimped

I swear I'll start on the wig once i have my morning sketch done i have unwrapped and put it on the stand

Do I really have to use Crunchyroll to watch WHA today? I don't really want to give money to those ppl and I don't need another streaming service ... blergh

Also I have to say sleep last night was blergh again as I woke up drenched from sweat (happens sometimes due my meds) had to change my pjs and then put away one blanket to avoid further sweating but then it was too cold to sleep. and i had my alarm set on work time x_x so yeah

i do share pattern if needed if someone can read them, i share refs, i share techniques, materials used i can tell everything. just ask.

Reminds me I wanted to take a photo of my Plushy Pattern for a friend who asked if I do commissions. I don't do commissions as it's the "I wanted to do the thing but you told me to do the thing so I don't want to do the thing anymore" issue i have

There is no shame in buying cosplay pieces or admitting you bought things, you can reply to people asking instead of deleting such comments. This is a hobby you don't need to plant cotton plants to harvest your own cotton and spin the thread to weave fabric ffs

ideas, searching for solutions, exchanging references. So, eh. No. I don't gatekeep and I don't claim characters. What I do is block people who gatekeep because they are popular and somehow feel like they are better with how they reply (or not) to people

A pattern for me is when a character is hated on I start to invest into this character. I had that in the past countless times, the most hated in the fandom became my fav with ease but overall this wasn't because they were truly my fav it was more the fact that I wasn't
