It's a MYSTERY 🤔🤔🤔

Seriously though, why did the Power Rangers theme song go SO HARD?! 🤘🏽🔥

The version I'm playing along to is "Go Go Power Rangers" by the awesome Niall Stenson on YT 🤘🏽

✨ An Incredible Evening✨

Huge thank you to everyone at @bafta for an absolutely unforgettable night at the BAFTA Game Awards 2026!

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners (I was especially happy for all the Dispatch love, massive flowers for the @theadhocstudio team on their amazing game)

My hanbok was made by @hanbokjigi ✨✨

Why this simple photo means so much to me:

For the better part of a year, I haven't felt very confident in cosplay. I didn't enjoy going to cons, I didn't think I was talented enough or good enough with crafting, and I fell out of love with doing photoshoots, at cons or otherwise.

I still enjoyed seeing my friends, but overall, my love for the hobby was massively waning.

However, I decided to go for it and do my first top to bottom complete cosplay build, and... It's this one, Zagreus from Hades (one of my favourite games of all time, made by the talented team at @supergiantgames).

Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Will it win any competitions? Also probably not... But I found myself loving the process, losing hours on end in the mindfulness of foam work, 3D printing, sanding, painting, and sewing (my first sewing build, too!)

And when I put it all on, I couldn't believe it: I *made* this. And despite its imperfections... It's *mine*. That was an unreal feeling.

The compliments I got on this build were staggering, and I'm truly humbled by the amount of good will and positive feedback I received, from both friends and people who I massively admire and whose talent inspired me to do this in the first place.

I know it's not about likes and compliments, but regardless, I am immensely grateful to everyone for their support. I'm now driven more than ever, and will be upgrading Zagreus and competing with him in a craftsmanship cosplay competition for the first time ever!

Lastly...

This photo was taken by my good friend and incredibly talented photographer @ameliacarvellphotography, who had one shot left on her camera at the end of Dreamhack on Sunday and chose to use it on me, and my Zagreus cosplay, regardless of the fact that my hair had gone crazy and the cosplay was falling apart by that point. I feel truly humbled and honoured by that beyond what words can convey. 💚💚💚

To those of you who, like me, thought you couldn't do it: you can. I did.

And just like that, the last @mcmcomiccon of 2026 has gone by in a blur 😭

Huge thanks to the MCM team for having me as a creator and for the incredible show. So much to see and do that I can't capture it all in one video!

And of course, massive thanks to all of my friends who make every event that much more special 🫶🏽

@donbroco @robdamiani always using their platform for good 🤘🏽🤘🏽 In a world of Ed Sheerans and James Hetfields being "apolitical" in music, it's amazing to have people who still stand for what's right 🇵🇸 #freepalestine #donbroco #nightmaretripping

This was from the last leg of the Don Broco Nightmare Tripping tour in Bristol, 14th October 2026 by @dexdoestoo

Severely missing my friends atm, so here's a picture of my beloved Straw Hats! This group was absolutely spontaneous, all three of us just shared the same brain cell: "Pirate Night means One Piece Night!".

The true heroes of this shoot: @brookie9001 and his portable light. They stood against the late night and won!

P.S. I'm glad I can still do some kicks, even in dress pants :)
