peppermintfablesSo after nearly a year I have opened this website again! Hi!
I got pretty busy with Uni (I wrote my bachelor thesis!) and work, so I lost track of everything for a bit.
But in a week all my big uni projects will be done, for better or worse, and my next semester will be my chillest so far, with only two lectures left. So I'm hoping to get more active on here again and also finally get the time to work on fandom projects and write more. I wanted to give a general update here to kind of force myself back into it.
Cosplay update: I managed to finish my cosplay of Shachi (One Piece) for ComicCon Stuttgart and had a blast cosplaying him together with my friend, who cosplayed Penguin. Definitely hoping to do more One Piece cosplays, because everyone we met was so nice. But I hope to rework the hat for LBM. MY current project is a post-canon inspired version of Laios from Dungeon Meshi for Dokomi. Dokomi isnt for a while, but I have so many things planned for this, that it's gonna take me forever and I really have to finish it for Dokomi because it's part of a group cosplay. Other than that I'm hoping to finish a Rose Lalonde cosplay for LBM, which is much sooner. I just want a new Homestuck cosplay for the meet up. I love my Sollux cosplay, but I've been doing it for years and my Dirk cosplay keeps falling apart (mostly the glasses). While the Rose cosplay really only needs a shirt, I've been kind of procrastinating it. For some reason I'd rather sew a whole shirt from scratch, than have to paint on one.
Writing update: Writing has been kicking my ass lately. By which I mean I haven't been doing any. While I still have unposted chapters for "Repressing emotions, being ironic.." in the backlog, I want to write some more before I keep posting and despite my detailed outline, it seems not detailed enough. So it's back to the drawing board for me. In other news, I really wanna learn how to write poetry, especially fandom related, and have started brainstorming for that, but... poetry is hard. That's partly why I want to try it, but it is kind of holding me back for now. In positive news, writing my bachelor thesis about Ao3 has renewed my interest in fandom research and meta, so I might write some things in that direction! We'll see.
