Are you telling me I'm gonna have to endure at least a percentage of the nonsense that is Avengers Doomsday to see king Namor of Talokan again? And he's gonna be wearing whatever this is instead of his beautiful Mesoamerican-inspired regalia? Kevin Feige when I get my hands on you...
Nah I'm sorry but this is too funny. You fumbled Blade? BLADE? The original movie literally starts with him showing up in a leather outfit and killing vampires. At a blood rave. With a shotgun. And a sword. ⚔️ Some mfs really are always tryna ice skate uphill 😂
Neat! Fun fact: this massive concept art poster Kevin got to reveal was done by Andy Park, Marvel's Director of Visual Development of 16 years, who was hit by the Disney layoffs earlier this year Weird, given his work is still incredible enough for Marvel to headline this big event with! 👍🏾
Star Wars may think I want more about this character, because he is my favourite His backstory? No. How he met his anooba Marrok? No, I'm good. More about his species? Homeworld? Hobbies? Unnecessary. He show up in a few episodes. He say like 10 words. He be cool. I'm happy. He's the best
Like come on. That's my dude right there. Laser crossbow while hat shield surfing with wolf sidekick Literally hunting down the lead characters and I'm rooting for him yeah girl go get em
Skywalker this, Mandalorian that... Nah, Embo 👍🏾 - Cool hat - Dope style - Fun weapons - Cool hat doubles as weapon, shield, occasional snowboard - Neat voice, speaks no English - Alien wolf companion - High ranking bounty hunter - Still has morals and a code - No lightsaber, yet incredible aura
Don't mind me I'm just thinkin about the coolest Star Wars character Embo 🙂↕️
You... OBSTRUCT Jarvan??? You obstruct Jarvan's path and give him error??? Oh! Jail for mother! Jail for mother for One Thousand Years!
Happy Father's Day to the dad man Mr. Smith, who keeps my lil corner of the world bright enough to keep fightin for it 😤🫶🏾 As always if you're missing a dad shaped person on this day you may mentally borrow mine. You gotta bring him a Red Stripe and something delicious tho, it's only polite 😁🧡
Also: - sports deodorizer spray for your unwashables like armour pieces - using fabric parts of cosplay and clothing to "fill out" the shape of less flexible pieces in your suitcase so they keep form when packed - building props to be dismantled *from the start* - my Viv staff unscrews into 2 pieces
Hmmmm bit of a tie between armoured Vanasha, Vivienne, and Lucio I mostly attended local cons, so only a couple had significant travel and hotel stays. But I can't recommend enough: dance garment/costume bags with individual pouches for the shoes and accessories. Life savers!
Felt a bit of melancholy for my cosplay days and remembered this little snapshot that always makes me smile 🥹
Oh you gotta check out their Gurenge cover from last year 😂 iconic 💕 www.instagram.com/reel/DRMZXYz...
My current enrichment activity is just picking a pose ref to use as a base (this one's from @trueref.bsky.social) and then seeing which fictional character it starts feeling like Hope it's already obvious who this is gonna be. Also hands continue to be a challenge from the devil 👍🏾
Previously on "wait nothing's stopping me from just trying" - drawing friends - figuring out what parts of the process I like best - realizing I can learn however I want and draw whatever and never finish things - experiencing the freedom and joy of mediocrity and ignoring perfectionism for a sec
The irony of pulling bubble discourse into the bubble is really somethin 😂 You don't have to let the villain monologue y'all
They blocked me so fast but I kinda figured it was coming 😂 Anyway here's the aforementioned California Classic burger if you ever wanna try it while in Toronto
They have another with a similar bun called The Vatican. I do not think it is blessed by the pope
Unfortunately quite a mood regarding dating feeling so futile Even kind, well-meaning men have trouble viewing a hetero relationship through anything but a very patriarchal lens. Which yeah, then comes out in weird defensive ways Need more guys to find themselves before seeking a partner
Oh right sorry I get mixed up on which ways each platform sucks 😅 Yeah I have nearly all of these turned off, but the one for activity on your posts + comments is bundled with gettings pings for activity on ANY POST YOU HAVE COMMENTED ON AT ALL and also post impression updates every damn week
Well hey if anyone's interested in a not cancelled animated film about girls being friends and doing cool stuff, Dreamworks' "Forgotten Island" drops this year Set in the 90s, two childhood friends afraid they'll grow apart, they end up on an adventure in a world inspired by Philippine mythology
One day when game out, I may have more time to game 😂👍🏾 Based on my lists what else would y'all recommend for me?
Me and the homies when you ask us to do something but it's Black History Month, Lunar New Year and Ramadan
Y'all are probably gonna roast me for this one but On-Together is the first video game I've ever purchased on Steam 😂 that's how stupidly charming it is We just be hangin out in there working on our own game and it's so cute I'm like mad about it 🤣💖
