HAPPY HOBBIT DAY!

Please, enjoy this candid pic of what it's like to be a lil guy who wants herself and her friends to have rights and thrive in a society that debates their existence and yells at their moms for taking Tylenol cause now they love trains???

As @brianneopal once said, Bluey's snitching tendencies are worrying, but she'll grow out of them.

This year I actually got pics of my Chirp Featherfowl from @dimension20show A Court of Fey and Flowers! The D20 meetup was perfect cause I hate pictures by myself so I got pics of me with my fellow nerds! There was a K.P. Hob and a Misty Moore and it was WONDERFUL to have some fellow fey to frolick with. (Also I didn't get the name of the Hob cosplayer! If you know who they are, tag 'em!)

Also I was totally in the last picture for real, and @erikaalamode didn't have to do any graphic design (a pity, cause that's her passion) to get us all in the same pic. taken in Emerald City Comic Con by @brianneopal

Happy NYE, my dears! May you enter the new year with a glass of champagne and a dress with lil guillotines and severed heads on it 🍰🥂🎉

Shoutout to @costumersofcolor whose Chevalier salon was the perfect event to justify the hand stamped 1790s gown of my dreams.

1790s gown: me!

Christmas is, for me, a time where we come together and make the darkest time of year bright and sparkly and full of love, and damn if every year we don't need that a little more. Merry Christmas, my loves. May your darkest days be behind you and may you find the things that make the long nights brighter.

Christmas Belle: me!!

Shout out to @spicythaidesign for the outstanding cardboard witch king tutorials. Neither me nor my steed would have looked nearly so cool without him.

I have gotten really into needle felting lately, y’all! I started with a penguin kit from @wyldwoodcreative (swipe thru to see him!) and basically immediately started free styling.

I’m leading with my felted Fungalore, tho, cause it’s #maxfundrive and I love @maxfunhq more than is reasonable. I’ve been listening to their shows for more than a decade, made friends through the communities they foster, and kept myself (relatively) sane through a whole lot of nonsense. This year, I finally have a good job, so I got to upgrade my membership to more accurately reflect the amount of time I spend with these folks in my ears.

So! I’m gonna take this opportunity to say, hey Fungalore? I want people to sign up for maximum fun memberships!

(He heard my wish)

I hear it’s Ahsoka Tano day! I had so much fun finding medieval analogues for my favorite Not A Jedi (tm) but I don’t know if I’ve shared them. Scroll through for some of the historical inspo and the Ahsoka fit I was inspired by
