look on my works ye mighty, and despair

2014 was an up-and-down year, like 2013 before it. Breaking it down:

( Work )
( Health )
( Travel )
( Home )
( Music )
( Cosplay )
( Fandom )
( Books/manga/comics )
( Videogames )
( TV/Film/anime )
( Theatre and Ballet )
( Other )

My posting here dropped off sharply, sigh. I was mostly on Tumblr this year, and a little on Facebook and Twitter (I am massively throttling twitter participation and basically don't add people any more; I do not want it to become my primary social outlet because I dislike the length restriction).

But I'll, uh. Try to post here more, again, at least.

For my Yu (from Persona 4) cosplay, I took a wig from stock a while back. It was a bit oversized:

But I cut it! And so, obviously, a makeup test was needed!

( again, to save feeds )

(backdating this so I can actually find it next year!)

2013 was an up-and-down year. Breaking it down, as usual:

( Work )
( Health )
( Travel )
( Home )
( Music )
( Cosplay )
( Fandom )
( Books/manga/comics )
( Videogames )
( TV/Film/anime )
( Theatre and Ballet )
( Other )

Also I attempted to post to LJ every day! I did that until August and then started dropping days here and there -- November was extremely patchy, wow -- but I feel like I'm in the habit of posting here regularly. Tumblr is, however, more and more my go-to place for random bloggy things, mostly because LJ -- despite a few valiant few of you -- does feel like shouting into a void sometimes. Ah well. I'm still here, and so are at least six of you guys, and you're important enough that I won't go drifting off any time soon.

Today has been mostly about:

• Pez's back (it still hurts but now she has medication)
• Masa in drag (mostly because of the Kuroshitsuji musical, but also just generally)
• finishing and posting P4 fic so I can stop thinking about it
• packing parcels

And now it is time to head off to the post office! BUSY BUSY augh.

Okay, with Aya all done and wrapped up, new plans for cosplays!

Existing costumes to do mini-shoots for - either due to not actually getting any pics or knowing we can get some good ones nearby: everything from Aya (Niou, Neil, Ib, Clavat).

Costume I'll be doing at some point soon: something from Attack on Titan. Probably Armin, but really whoever is needed for the photoshoots we're part of.

Costumes I actively want to make, in no particular urge:

Narukami Yu (Persona 4): if I had the glasses, honestly, I could put together a summer uniform version tomorrow. But I do also want to make the jacket and do the full uniform version.
Edgeworth (Ace Attorney): I have the materials for Young Edgeworth from AA3, and I want to get back into sewing something soon, so this (or JP) will probably be the next thing I actually make.
Therius (The Last Story): it's a bit of a project, what with the armour and all, but I really do want to start this soon.
Jean Paulet (Resonance of Fate): the boots are putting me off a bit. But the rest is awesome, I have the fabrics, and JP is wonderful. Pez wants to make Zephyr soon, too.

I also have vague FFX-2 urges (maybe Gippal!) after some conversations at Aya, and people-who-aren't-Pez are muttering about Tenimyu costumes (the new D1 outfits from DL2013 are really, really pretty). And I have a feeling I'll cave in and make something from Free! somehow (maybe one of the ending costumes) because I find the series too amusing to not celebrate it. We'll see. I'm giving myself time off cosplay entirely for a while first.

And obviously, all the above is subject to random, unexpected changes due to sudden shininess or ennui.
