I almost wanted to do "sit back and watch your women work" but I thought perhaps that one wouldn't make sense if you haven't read it and also? It's apparently not in the official translation??? A tragedy

A page from the manga Red River. Yuri Ishtar stands before her ladies in waiting (all of whom are armed) and flashes a peace sign while saying, "We'll show you what women can do. Y'might learn somethin'... Heh!" And then the various military commanders (all men) she is in charge of shiver in fear. It really doesn't have quite the impact of a fan translation from way back when

Today! At work!!!!

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· 21d

Omg I was so busy today I missed that it was Vash's birthday. Love and peace!!

Myself cosplaying as Vash the Stampede, very specifically the original manga version. I am in a sort of construction-y looking site with lots of bare concrete and dirt. I have one foot up on a broken concrete barrier and I'm flashing Vash's crossed fingers peace sign and smiling at the camera

Plus it's such a tiny drink, it gives me a chance to use this adorable cup from Studio Toulouse!!

A very tiny cup decorated with Soot Sprites from Spirited Away. It has a matching tiny saucer and currently has a tiny spoon resting on the edge of the saucer

So I had a free movie pass

Well anyways I'm treating myself to this (virgin) watermelon mojito smoothie and then I'm going to try and sleep... Normally I would just drink it out of my little blender to avoid too many dishes but whatever. I wanted to feel fancy

A photo of a pink-ish smoothie in a cute glass with little cats on it

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jul 5

This is ridiculous. There are way too many trees in this neighborhood for this. It's this, but constantly, since probably around 6pm

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jul 2

Not putting it in the thread because I'm not trying to get TOO distracted but dang Yuri has so many great outfits

An image from the manga Red River. Yuri is sneaking around in a cute little mini dress trimmed in ribbon. This one basically has spaghetti straps made of the trim. It's also belted, and has tiny little slits on the side highlighted by the trim

Cover art from Red River, featuring Yuri sitting on Prince Kail's lap in a halter dress with a short red bodice and a long, flowing skirt with dots all over it

Yuri in a floor length dress with an empire waist and spaghetti straps, all made from the same ribbon that the top edge is hemmed with. It looks very comfy and cute

Yuri in some kind of tunic with matching jacket situation. It looks sort of 70's which is kind of funny. The tunic is trimmed in ribbon, and the jacket has the same ribbon along the front edges. The jacket is belted on over the tunic and has the sleeves rolled up a little. Yuri is also wearing a headband to match the trim

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jul 2

Usually it appears to be just a single rectangle of fabric, belted around the waist and pinned at the shoulders. Some of the fancier ones are open on both sides/have seams up both sides, rather than being one piece. I'll probably do the tunic like this, tho, even if I gussy it up a bit

An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri in a simple tunic. It is clearly open only on one side and appears to have buttons or pins of some sort holding the shoulders together

Another image viewed from above, showing the pins or buttons on her shoulder

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jul 2

Anyways even tho it's technically Kail's sword in the photo I might do a sort of mix - slightly longer than Yuri's but with a sheath more like hers (since it's simpler). I'm also debating adding some trim to the little tunic number. She actually has a lot of fun variations on a simple theme...

An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri in a tunic with trim all along the edge

Another image, this time of Yuri lounging against a pillar and looking sad. This tunic has buttons up the side and what appears to be a woven belt

This time Yuri is running and her tunic has an actual collar, plus is sewn up the sides with big criss-cross stitches

Yuri looking mad, one arm flung out to make a point. This tunic has a narrow trim around all the edges

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jul 2

Also I was so worried trying to figure out Yuri's underwear situation but I am incredibly amused to inform you that actually we get lots of shots to prove she is, in fact, definitely wearing something under there lol

An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri protecting Kail with his own sword like a badass, and also incidentally flashing the audience

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jul 2

This actually makes sense when I think about it since it's the cover of volume two. Anyways Yuri's dagger is only about the length of her forearm, and although I think it later gets a sheath more like the one for Kail's sword, originally it's nothing fancy

An image from the manga Red River showing Yuri's iron dagger when she first picks it. It is in a rusty, shabby looking sheath and has clearly seen better days

Another image showing Yuri holding the iron dagger so you can see that it's only around the length of perhaps her upper arm

A color image of Kail's sword. It's noticeably longer than Yuri's dagger, in a fancy golden sheath studded with red stones

Another image, showing Yuri holding up her dagger, fixed up and with a new, fancier sheath, in a style somewhat similar to Kail's sword

He wanted to hold hands

An orange cat lays on the back of a couch with his eyes closed, head pillowed on a white and blue plush dragon. He has one paw extended so he can rest it on the tips of the fingers on my outstretched hand

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jun 16

Maybe I will cave and post just one of @discovader.bsky.social's photos of my first Pluto cosplay tho :>

A photo of me as Sailor Pluto, based on fan art by Popoalu. I am wearing a white pencil skirt and a sleeveless black jacket with gold detailing along the edge. I am wearing a long necklace with a red cross at the end, which hangs between the very low cut of the jacket, plus a black choker, and Pluto's iconic chevron earrings

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jun 16

Oh also! A little gift from my black-eyed susans and the evening sun to you!

A photo of a large patch of black-eyed susans (dark yellow flowers with radial petals and a black center) surrounding a bird bath. The sun is casting a shadow of some of the flowers into the water basin

While looking for that selfie I found this heckin' cute selfie of me as Venus, too

A selfie of me in my "pin-up" Sailor Venus cosplay. You can see I am wearing an orange button up shirt, blue choker, and a necklace with a little white enamel bow on it. I am also wearing a blue mask, and my hair is done up with a red bandana. I also have dramatic red sunglasses sitting on top of my head and cute cherry earrings

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jun 15

Someday I'm gonna finish her staff and NOT break it, make her keys, and do another proper photo shoot. Maybe finally do this version?

An illustration of Sailor Pluto in a vaguely Greek dress. It is folded over like a chiton but strapless, buckled in place with a wide belt almost like a corselet, with a big brooch holding the excess on one side. She is also wearing a lot of fancy jewelry and holding her key staff, looking off to one side with her eyes closed

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jun 15

Apparently this is the only photo I have of this version of Sailor Pluto? Lmao

A mirror selfie of me in a fairly casual Sailor Pluto cosplay. It involves a black pleated skirt and a slouchy tank top with a wide sailor collar. I am wearing a long green wig, black choker, a short necklace with Pluto's black neck bow in acrylic, and a long necklace with a key on it.

If you see this, post your bird art! 🪶 (~*multimedia*~)

An embroidered duck. It is a male Common Goldeneye (Bucephala Clangula) in eclipse plumage. He has a grey chest with a black and brown head and back. It is embroidered with blue under the duck so it looks like it's swimming, with some tufts of tall grass behind it

A hairpiece in the shape of a swan with its wings spread and head thrown back dramatically. It is accompanied by a miniature sword with a basket handle and chains hanging from the pommel. The sword is meant to go through holes in the swan's wings to hold the piece in place in your hair

A tiny posca painting of a gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) wearing a black hoodie with cat ears and a cat tail. It is displayed on a tiny easel

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· Jun 1

Well, last time I asked this question I didn't get much response but maybe second time is the charm. What are things you want to know about mantises? Or things you already know but think are interesting?

A tiny watercolor painting of a mantis of some variety, probably a Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis). It is viewed from below as if it is clinging to the other side of a window and viewed through the glass

Yuri seems to have been the clear winner of what people want me to make to celebrate my 20th cosplay anniversary! I suppose you can consider this the beginning of a build log...?

Cover art from the classic manga Red River by Chie Shinohara. It features Yuri Ishtar in a short white tunic kept in place with a segmented bronze belt. She has a red and gold cloth draped over one shoulder and is wearing slouchy brown boots wrapped with red cord. Around her head is a circlet similar to the belt but set with red stones. She is also wearing bronze bracers and holding a sword in an intricate scabbard

This is a cat check point; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone (Not mine!! One of my coworkers is fostering this kitten, I just got to meet him)

A tiny grey kitten sitting on some blankies in a cardboard box. He's got a white chest and toes, a white stripe down his nose, and a little white moustache. He's about 3 weeks old and still has blue eyes and slightly curled ears.

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 20

I have a lot of pictures but many of them feel rather repetitive, so at least for now, here's where I'm ending. This is definitely not a good photo by most definitions but I love how you can just see the eye framed by the leaves

A photo of a bird, I think a Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus) standing on a branch, mostly obscured by leaves. It's a tan bird without much by way of exciting markings, but the leaves just frame the top of its eye, with its white eye stripe

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 20

I missed a great photo of this little friend getting fed by mom but I did get this wonderful little side eye before baby decided to fly after mama

A juvenile American Robin (Turdus migratorius) standing in a curved branch, giving the camera a little side-eye, looking vaguely alarmed. It's in its awkward teenage phase with a short tail and stubby wings. It is a brownish bird with a red chest

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 20

This Oriole was uncooperative which is perhaps a statement about something or other but in any case look! My hometown birdie. What's up my dude. Fancy meeting you here

A Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) on a tree branch. He's sort of obscured by some leaves. Yes this was the best photo I could get of him. Anyways he is a bird with an orange underbelly and black back and head. There's some white on the wings too but you can't see that in this photo

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 20

I'm not sure this is a good picture per se but it is kind of hilarious

A Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) standing in shallow water facing to the right of the frame. It is standing on one leg. The leg closest to the viewer is held up under its wing, sticking out behind it like it's stretching (except it wasn't, it was just standing like that). It has its long neck tucked behind its body, except its head is just high enough for it to glare directly at the viewer from over its own back. It is kind of silly. This is a white bird with a black face, except this one is very muddy right now so only its wings are white at the moment.

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 20

I love these leggy friends. Used to see them all the time in TX so happily surprised to see them here! It was really far away so this one is perhaps a bit fuzzier than some other ones but look. It found a thing.

A Black-Necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) standing in some shallow water. It is facing slightly to the left and pulling some kind of plant or something out of the water. It makes it look sort of like there is a line connecting the tip of its beak to its leg. This bird has very long legs. It is white with black wings, and the black extends up the back of its neck and head

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 18

Also yes I will totally make you random other things like weirdly shaped books and fully functional lyres! If I know how to do it then it's probably fair game

A small watercolor painting of a brown garden snail. There is no background, but it looks as if it is standing on on some surface and looking down over the edge

A photo of a small hand-bound notebook in the shape of a heart

A photo of a wooden 7-string lyre, carved into the shape of a dragon curled up asleep with its tail under its head.

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 18

Some random examples of my work! Please email me at animus.panthera@gmail.com if you're interested.

A photo collage of some jewelry I have made. Moving clockwise from top left: a collar pin in the shape of a dragon skeleton, made of torch anodized titanium; a pair of hammered bar earrings with faceted amethyst beads at the bottom; a silver ring set with a red garnet, which crosses over so that it is adjustable; a copper pendant in the shape of a diamondback rattlesnake curling around a brass chain; a silver pendant that looks like the silhouette of a cat hanging playfully from an amethyst "ball"; a large, circular copper pendant that has been intentionally aged and has irregular lines cut out from the sides, with shelf mushrooms growing out of the front

Eldritch Millennial@sundaycreature· May 18

I love it when birds stare back
