The “JOI” vid— I don’t really know what to call it so lmk if there’s a word for this type of thing— is going out in a little while!
I’m a lil bit nervous to post it cause it’s new territory for me but I’m confident that y’all will like it :)
If you’re not in a horny mood yet, prepare yourself 😤
I did it!!! I finished school!!!!! 😭
It’s been such a long journey. In total, I went to 3 schools (actually 4 but one didn’t count), changed my major once, and had many dumb college hiccups along the way, such as “oh well we don’t take ___ credit here” UGH!! But it’s over.
I’m not sure what the next adventure is but for now I’m going to take a much needed break for a month (don’t worry, I’m going to continue to be active here!!). I’d really like to jump into more content creation so I’m going to focus my energy on that :)
I was planning on sending out a new PPV tonight but I’m out of town for a day to celebrate, so I’ll be sending that tomorrow!
Anyways thank y’all so much for being here supporting me while I was in school 🥺💖 I watched so many other cosplayers in college struggle to keep up the hobby because of the expenses. I’m so grateful that I was able to continue this with you all!! Thank you all so much 🥲💖💖
Photoshoot dump!! I forgot how fun location shoots are :D
What isn’t pictured here is me dying in the 100 degree heat (and dabbing the sweat off my face with the scarf LOLLL)
Which pics/vids do you like? :)
Ignore the room chaos— it’s con crunch time LOL
How do you feel about this white button-up body suit that I just tailored? + all the other doodle requests from memory :D
(Tharja, Kenny, Purah, Lucina, Operator 6O, Marianne)
I definitely need to brush up on my anatomy. I have no hecking clue why I didn’t use anatomy reference pics for any of these LOL. To the person that commented Kenny from Attack on Titan, that was quite the challenge indeed! Anyways this was really fun to do and I’ll probably have more drawing requests like this in the future!
here are the first 4 drawings from memory :0 How'd I do?
(Noah, Camilla, Lenore, Melia)
I'm still getting used to all the brushes on photoshop so these are a bit rough BUT ya gotta start somewhere LOL
Alright time for a fun challenge :) I’m getting back into digital art so I want y’all to comment a character that I’m familiar with and I’m gonna try to draw it from memory! I’m not allowed to cheat and google the character so this should be fun LOL
I love drawing and I’m pretty fast so don’t think that I’ll get overwhelmed with comments. I’m going to draw every single one 😤 lay it on me!!
So, Anime Expo?
A bit of people have asked how it went so I thought I’d write it all out here :)
I arrived the first day of AX but spent it exploring an area called Little Tokyo with some friends in LA. It was pretty sick. Lots of anime stores, jfashion, tea and food options. I wish I could have explored it more but we all had to evacuate because a guy was running from the LAPD into the area 🫥 There was a stampede of people running out of the district. It was pretty scary cause we couldn’t tell what the helicopters were saying and thought it was something else that happens too often in America (OF would probably ding me for saying what we thought it was).
We did end up saving that first day though. We went to a cool bookstore and then got good Japanese food afterwards and I had 1 drink (I am a lightweight) and wouldn’t shut up about my AoT theories 🤠
I realize a lot of footage from AX has gone viral (which is probably why so many of you asked about it), namely the sea of attendees/sardines and people claiming it was a scam LOL. That mostly happened the first day of AX which I didn’t go to. It was actually a breeze to get into the con the 2nd day.
The con itself was massive. Nothing like I’d ever been to. There were times when it was definitely overwhelming with the amount of people, like in the dealers hall and artist alley where it was literally shoulder-to-shoulder. However, it was so cool to see anime companies go all out at panels and displays and such. I really enjoyed the Attack on Titan displays (shocker, I know!)
Overall I had a lot of fun at AX! As many of y’all know, I didn’t go for the convention— I went for a band called Mili who was having their first concert in America. I needed an AX pass to see the band which is the only reason I went LOL.
I cried during the Mili concert. It was incredible to finally see a band that I’ve been following for ***11 years***. Each song they played had a new unique twist to it like added guitar solos. I was actually so hyped during the concert that the guy in front of me gave me his glow stick or whatever those things are called LOL. (Either I was too hype or too annoying 🫢)
ALSO gonna take a quick second to say that if you don’t let shorter people in front of you at concerts, I’m giving you the stink eye.
The singer of Mili dislocated her knee about 2/3 into the concert so they had to stop but it was still an amazing show and I’m so happy that I got to see them :’)
…. And as for the spam…. I seemed to have confused some people into thinking that spam is part of the American 4th of July 🇺🇸 tradition.
I’ll explain the joke XD
When Mili landed their first anime OST, (about 6 years into me following them as a band), they released their first ever music video. The song is called “Rightfully” and is featured in Goblin Slayer. This is the part where I tell you to go watch the official music video for it.
Buuuut if you’re lazy, I’ll summarize. There’s a shut-in eating multiple cans of spam right out of the tin. He starts spasming into sick dance moves. Then he turns into a goblin alien thing? I don’t know. The video makes no sense. Personally I find it hilarious. Anyways, I had Mili sign a can of spam and I sincerely hope that they got the reference because nobody else in the waiting line did LOL. Based on Mili’s facial expressions, either they understood or thought I was a lunatic. That’s fine.
(As you can see in the pic, they wrote their sign on a SmashBurger bag so at least if they didn’t get the reference, we still have the same stupid sense of humor)
So there you have it! My “AX” trip was very short since I only stayed for 2 days but it was a blast! I probably wouldn’t go again cause of the price tag but if they brought Mili again I’d be there in a heartbeat! :)
Day 1 of LA was an…. Experience LOL. I’ve only been to LA twice in my life (the other time was an 8 hour layover), and each time has been story-worthy chaotic.
I’ll tell more later :) tomorrow I actually go to AX for a day and then it’s back home!
Booba
Y’all I’m freaking ECSTATIC!! I’m seeing one of my top 3 bands this Sunday, Mili. I never thought they would come to the US. As soon as I heard they were gonna be at AX, I booked a flight so fast.
What does this mean for y’all? Shoptly coupon for 28% off everything, code “EXPO”. So go have a little fun while I have a little fun :3 (and to help offset the price of the badge cause SHEESH LMAO 🤣)
I’m SHAKING in my boots. I haven’t been this excited in years 😭💖💖💖
A different kind of lewd today.
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before but I’m REALLY into life-improvement things. I’ve been following the research on red light therapy for a few years now and decided to finally get a small device. And geez this thing is powerful!!!
I usually do a quick session right out of the shower, like you see here. I saw my reflection in the shower door and had to take a few pics for y’all :D
My posture isn’t the best but dang does it make my butt look good. Anyways that’s all, I just wanted to share these LOL
