Only a small collection of Follo pictures left, but there’s some new plans that are being cooked up for bringing in some new characters. I’m excited to see what comes to be, hope y’all are too!

And here he is, the first peek of Alan, Follo’s full jinki at katsucon this year. He weighs about 22 pounds (but is deceptively light), is around 6’2-6’3 in height, and completely lights up as some may have seen in my recent stories. The entirety of the hammer was custom patterned by me and separated into 5 main parts. Build out of a variety of EVA foam, pvc, and color changing LED lights….not to mention my actual blood, sweat, and tears. I finished him in about 2 weeks, I didn’t count the specific hours because of work and life commitment.

This was by far my biggest build and something I’m deeply proud of, even if I have a lot of improving to do! If you’re going to weebcon, you’ll see Alan with me!

Yes I shamelessly am still living the high life with my volume of Follo and his backstory on repeat. Especially since his character gives me such inspiration to create and maybe work a little harder for the things I want.

So here’s to me trying just that…while I should be working on weebcon prep…

It’s weird to say goodbye to Bleach, even if it may only be temporary with new projects announced and what not. Despite that, Bleach holds a special and weird place in my heart. So I apologize for the novel, please skip if you don’t want to read.

For context, I’m going to give some depth to my own lore and how anime became part of my life. Back in 2006, a girl with insomnia stumbled upon a show airing on Toonami. It just so happened to be the first episode of Bleach. I came for the show that had ran before it, but I stayed for the classic op ASTERIK. And to say I craved more was an understatement. This was my first true dive into anime at the time.

Being a 13 year old girl in a conservative, country wannabe town who didn’t know herself or what she liked…I went to my friend who I knew dabbled in Anime (he also happened to be my crush and later my first love -it ended poorly, honestly this should of been the red flag that kept me away). And boy did this asshat belittle me for liking the show and wanting to know more. It was safe to say a guilty pleasure in the making was already ruined. This turned my interest into a sour taste that young teen Karl had yet to shake off or discover her backbone about.

Fast forward years later and I make a TikTok that asked “anime I think is overhyped,” and all I could think was Bleach….for specific reasons obviously. That didn’t age well lol! And again, fast forward years later, where the actual Bleach community has brought me so many new friends, memories, and so much joy.

To the friends who bullied me into giving it one more shot, thank you. It makes me wish I could go back in time and tell Karl that men ain’t shit unless he’s Ichigo Kurosaki. Sorry I wasn’t sitting there with you all during the hiatus, but I’m here with you now as the era comes to an end.

So, thank you Kubo for masterminding a story that shaped me. That reminded me it’s okay to laugh in tough situations, that locking in is a skill set of its own, that caring about the people around you is nothing to be ashamed of, and fuck the people who tell you that you can’t do something.

It’s been such a ride with Follo this past year, one that will definitely continue on when my man gets his chance to be animated! When that happens, I’m sure my crash out over coloring will begin…but until then!!

Happy Birthday to the goat and king himself!!

Naruto is one of my favorite cosplays to pull out and get to play off my own silly side with my own group of over powered misfits. Wouldn’t be right to not get to celebrate…now excuse me while I go rewatch the Chunin Exams.

So, you guys asked and I’m finally caving…I’m working on a sewing tutorial for my Follo coat. To start it will be just a walk through of what I did, but maybe if time permits I’ll film my whole process and make a second coat…maybe one not as insulated as the original lol.

So stay tuned for that coming out relatively soon!

Scare away the Sunday scaries with a little Follo today!

The weekend went by way too fast as per usual, but I can safely say that I’m finally getting the itch to craft going again. Which is perfect timing to get ready for Katsu. At least my goal is to not leave my biggest build the last 3 weeks before con…wish me luck!!

Another day, and another Follo photo by @lightriftphoto to make me feel like an absolute badass. I can’t sing David’s praises high enough when it comes to cosplay shots, go book him!!

Happy Sunday to anyone else suffering from the Sunday scaries like me! I’m about to board another plane to CO for another start of my week out of state. I hope your Sunday’s are much easier than mine is! But time to figure out the katsu plans are among us and I can’t wait! Anyway, have a good rest of your weekend!
