If you know me in person (or even online) at all, you know that I became obsessed with Arcane—and specifically the character of Silco—in 2022. After finding an old hoodie I had made for my husband, I decided I wanted to make a new fandom-based hoodie for myself now that I’ve been sewing for much longer and also now know how to use my serger.

This was one of those cosplays that was planned months in advance but constructed over very little time. This cosplay only took 6 hours of work (spread over 3 days because I like napping on weekends lol) between the dress, lei, sash, and bandana. The process involved lots of online shopping from Amazon and getting lots of quality time with my serger.

Much like my Elizabeth cosplay, this one came about because I wanted to do something funny with a voice actor at a con. Toph’s VA Michaela Murphy is coming to Y2Kon and while I didn’t think I could throw together a Toph cosplay in time, I thought of the next best thing: Melon Lord.

This cosplay was a long time coming. I’ve wanted to cosplay Elizabeth since 2014 and wanted to make a competition-worthy build since around 2017. Every year, I would think of it and never do it because I was too scared I wouldn’t live up to the lofty expectations I had in my head. It took Troy Baker making an appearance at WeebCon this April for me to finally just buckle down and do it.

In February and March, I crunched on my Kena cosplay in order to compete at the Nishi Fest contest. While my work managed to get me a Judge’s Award, I knew I could do it better. So here are the improvements I’ve made, just in time for A-kon!

I split my Kena build into two posts because I ended up taking a bit of a break from Kena to work on Sailor Neptune and prep for ComfyCozyCon. I didn’t want to wait to publish the first part, so I went ahead and did that knowing that I would make a second part for the remaining cosplay pieces. So here’s the conclusion to my Kena cosplay!

Kena: Bridge of Spirits came out September 21. September 22, I picked up the game and immediately fell in love with it. The aesthetics, character design and story so beautiful, the gameplay immersive. I knew instantly that I wanted to cosplay the titular character, Kena.

20 years after watching Sailor Moon, I’m finally cosplaying from one of my very first animes.

I’ve never done a mashup cosplay before, at least not one of my own design. (Sylveon Bard was a mashup of Pokemon and D&D groups, so I guess that was technically my first mashup cosplay.) And I don’t know how the idea for Jollibee Inn Girl even got into my head. I think the FF7 remake had come out and the Honeybee Inn Girls just looked so cute and I must’ve seen or thought of Jollibee when I merged the two thoughts together. Either way, I had the idea and I couldn’t get it out of my head. So I decided to do it.

As a non-binary, bisexual cosplayer, it is a mystery how I haven’t cosplayed the God of Mischief Loki until now. While I didn’t immediately fall in love with Loki’s character at the very beginning of the MCU, I did slowly grow very fond of him and Tom Hiddelston’s portrayal of him. With each new appearance, I began to love him more and more. The Disney+ show “Loki” solidified that.
