I’ve never plagued League of Legends. I’ll tell you that right now. I downloaded it once, played the tutorial, and then never actually played it because of all the horror stories I heard about playing it online. That, and, I don’t tend to like that style of game.

It’s a new year, so let’s set some goals! These goal categories are listed in order of priority, so if I don’t meet the later ones, I’m fine with that. I tried to set reasonable amounts so that I don’t burn myself out.

I wrote this out as a Twitter thread for a cosplay mutual and realized it could be its own blog post. This is for any cosplayers who are looking to start writing their own cosplay builds/progress/tutorials. From someone who’s been doing this for all her handmade cosplays since 2015.

I’ll just come out and say right now that I didn’t make anything in my Kaori cosplay. I bought everything. So this’ll be less of a step-by-step process and more just background on the cosplay and dropping links for other Kaori cosplayers!

With the recent surge of support to Black-owned businesses due to increased coverage of the Black Lives Matter movement, I came across two companies on Twitter who sell wig-adjacent products. That is to say: products used with wigs, but not wigs themselves. These companies were The Meya Store and The Renatural. Both companies are Black-owned companies based out of the UK. A few cosplayers were recommending online that we go support them. I don’t think either company realized just how much support exactly they would receive from the cosplay community, one that has very quickly become a target demographic for any wig-related products.

When I started designing and selling cosplay shirts, I never expected it to take off as well as it did. Up until now, the only cosplay-related money I had ever made was for the one graphic design commission I did for a client. I had tried to sell prints and more graphic design commissions to no success. Hell, I hadn’t even received a single ko-fi donation yet. I lamented that maybe I was just not the type of cosplayer that people spend money on. I thought maybe people just didn’t like what I was selling. (I would later realized that–while maybe that is partially true–more of the blame could be on the fact I wasn’t exactly marketing my prints, graphic design, or ko-fi.)
