Maybe not actually gone forever
3 min read
I like to do this thing where I abandon websites for a decade, then come back, as I recently did with Tumblr. (So maybe there's hope of me actively using Facebook again in like six years?) I honestly don't do much that's worth posting here anymore, but I still do a couple cosplays a year, and knit and crochet a lot.
That said, I got better at making costumes in the time I wasn't posting here, and have many I can add, so I will probably do that. It is certainly weird to look back at my convention posts here from so long ago. Conventions and cosplay were my life for quite a while, there was even a year I went to conventions in three different countries, and I actually got to live my dream I used to joke about, of being a booth babe for Koei Tecmo. I have so many wonderful memories, and I still love all of my convention friends, though in recent years I have slowed down a bit. (I suppose the pandemic did that to us all) Anything else I make any more tends to be nice enough sweaters and things, but not really what I'd consider art to post here. (Not that half of what I posted before was art either) So after I add my backlog of costumes, I might not be active again, but who knows. I am trying to knit a whole series of modern wood-elf attire, so maybe I can do something with that!
I will mention I had thought I lost the perfect RP community forever when Legends of Xenobia finally died, but I've found some amazing people on Lord of the Rings Online, and it's recaptured that feeling again, so I do write a lot, just also nothing that would go here. But it keeps me happy, and at least feeling as if I am doing something creative, since my day job is all logic and troubleshooting. (Which I love, don't get me wrong)
I also stream on Twitch now, though not as much as I used to, and I enjoy that. I stream on the official LOTRO channel on Wednesdays, and on my own Fridays. I used to stream all kinds of things, but then LOTRO happened. (Though this week there will actually be a Stardew Valley stream, which is another game that's been a big part of my life.)
Oh look, I am up too late for how early I need to get up for work in the morning! Not much changes in a decade, it seems.

PAX + Kumoricon + Cosplay + Sadness
5 min read
I've been busy lately working on my costume and part of a friend's for PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), which is in a little over a week in Seattle. He's being Lu Xun, and I am being Sun Shang Xiang, both from Dynasty Warriors 7. This is kind of a dream costume for me, because I love Dynasty Warriors so much, even from before I was really into video games or conventions. Sun Shang Xiang became my favorite just because she was the only girl that started out unlocked in Dynasty Warriors 3. Kinda silly, but I still like her. (And somewhere along the line I started liking everyone in Wu too much, too.)
I have a good chunk of my costume done. I can't say I am overly happy with it, but that's probably because I want it to be perfect way too much. >_< What I am overly happy with is the chakrams. (Or Wheels, as they're named in DW7) I weas going to try muddle through making them myself, but my boyfriend, GoshaDole ended up making them for me, and they look so so so amazing. He's never made prop weapons before, but he is the type that can figure out how to do anything. In this title, the chakrams are way bigger than when Sun Shang Xiang used them in the other games... So for the base pf them we used (small) hula-hoops. They are pretty huge as far as cosplay props go, so I am hoping no one kills me for having them in the expo hall. (I'll put them around me so they're not in the way, but still...) That and I'll be having some pretty sore arms, but I suppose that's what I get for not being in shape! They are fine according to the PAX weapon policy at the very least!
I am also participating in the PAX Pokemon League this year: paxpokemonleague.com/
This is it's third time running, having happened at PAX Prime last year and PAX East this year already. Basically you bring your DS and a copy of Pokemon Black or White and battle your way through gym leaders and the Elite Four. You need 8 gym badges just like in the games, only there are 16 gym leaders so you can more easily collect 8 badges over the course of PAX weekend. I am one of the Elite Four, (Holy crap, how did that happen?) I'll be in costume for that on Sunday, since no one will likely have 8 gym badges before then. The story this year is that Giovanni of Team Rocket is running for mayor of Seattle, and he and his four Rocket Generals have all but taken over the PAX Pokemon League. It's up to you, the challenger to take down the Elite Four/Rocket Generals with the help of some of the gym leaders by becoming champion of the league! Costume-wise I am doing a 'real world' version of Rocket Executive Ariana. I was going to do her game costume again, but the wig is all but dead, and I am kinda tired of the costume anyway. So for this I am wearing a black pencil skirt, black fitted suit-jacket with a red R on the lapel, and black heels. So kind-of what a Rocket Executive might wear in real life? I will also dye my hair dark red to try to have another connection with her than just the name. (Dark red since I am not about to dye my hair anime red-orange.) Anyway, it should be fun times! You can find gym leaders by the bright green scarves they'll be wearing. We'll try to be in the handheld lounges off and on, too. Meetups will take place daily there at 4pm, but we definitely encourage trying to find the leaders while out and about at PAX!
This will be the first year I am attending KumoriCon in Portland, OR. (Well, technically it's across the river in Vancouver, WA, but it's still Portland's anime con.) Since it is the weekend immediately following PAX, I am not making any new costumes for it, but I plan to wear my Sun Shang Xiang costume, and maybe Domino. (if I hear of anyone doing a Angelic Layer, ParaKiss or Saiyuki group I could bring those costumes, but otherwise I won't bother.) I know a couple people going, but not a ton. Anyone here going?
+++Chobits spoilers follow, if that actually matters to anyone!
While working on costumes, I re-watched the anime series, Chobits. It had been years since I'd watched it, and I'd never read (or even heard of) Angelic Layer when I did. Both of them take place in the same universe, (CLAMP loves their crossovers) and after cosplaying from Angelic Layer, I've come to love it. So it slowly occurred to me that yes, the same Ichiro Mihara (Icchan) of Angelic Layer fame is the 'father' of Chi, Freya and persocoms in general and the deceased husband of Chitose Hibiya. Deceased!? I'm not going to lie, I almost cried during the last couple episodes where Ms. Hibiya is explaing everything, and you keep seeing the shadowed figure of Icchan. And in the last episode, you can finally see the entire photo on her dresser, and there's crazy-glasses Icchan.
Ok, I know I am quite silly, but this series wasn't this sad before I knew about Angelic Layer!
Icchan is totally my favorite character now.
And now back to working on costumes.

4￫Go to their pages and tell them you tagged them.
5￫No tag backs.
6￫No crap in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you read this". You legitimately have to tag ten people.
1) Despite the fact that I love to make costumes, I don't really like sewing. (But I obviously do it a lot!)

3) I am still not quite sure what I want to do with my life! (Though I'd guess not many people are.)
4) Of all the fandoms I am a part of, Star Trek is my favorite.
5) I wish I had more patience and motivation for almost everything I do.
6) I hope to get better at making costumes and clothing in general so that maybe someday I'd be proud enough of my work for others to wear it.
7) I get into collecting things too much. Right now it's anime/manga/game artbooks and 60's dresses.
9) I love reading fashion magazines almost more than books. (But not quite!)
10) I did not get my drivers license (Or really learn how to drive) until I was 23. (Yup, last year.)
These all make me sound lame or semi-unhappy with my life, but neither of those things are true!
Tag: Despite the rules, (#11: I am a rule-breaker!) I will tag 10 people, but I am only going to leave a comment on the ones I think will actually do this. Because really, most of my friends on here probably wouldn't. >> (Which is fine, but I like to do these, so shh!)

Some ideas and other things
3 min read
Some ideas I've been having, mostly some related to dA:
-A South-Sound Cosplay deviantART group. (Southwest Washington State)
Ok, ok, there are so many cosplay groups on dA, and even a bunch for the Seattle area, but I'd love to have one for all of us who are (generally) around Olympia, who can't usually make it up to Seattle for Gasukans or other meetups, but maybe could if we did more stuff around here.
I kinda have a feeling there'd be virtually no interest for this, though, but maybe I should make one anyway, just to see? I could always delete it after a couple months.
I did search and didn't find anything already made, but I also couldn't find the Seattle cosplay groups I am in by searching 'Seattle cosplay', so I question if the search actually includes everything.
-Kiriban
I probably won't actually do this, but I was thinking about what prize I'd have if I ever did do a kiriban. I don't really draw, but I do a lot of cosplay and crafts. So I could take a cosplay picture, but really, who would care? Alternatively, I could knit/crochet/make something out of paper for someone, but then it'd need to be mailed, which is kind of weird for a kiriban. At least in my mind. So this is mostly likely a no-go. Unless someone wants my measly 5 dA points!
-Starting up my Etsy store again
While I certainly don't make much money off of it, making things to sell on Etsy is/was a hobby of mine. (And it justifies all the yarn I have!) The few sales I have make me happy that people actually like my stuff, and I'd like to maybe re-make some of the stuff I've sold in the past. So now that I am not working on costumes for SakuraCon 24/7, I'd like to work on that. I'll probably post more details here when I do.
-Cos.Crebain.net
I decided to install Wordpress on my site at the beginning of the year to make a cosplay/convention blog: cos.crebain.net/
As you can see, I have't updated it in a while, mostly because I was so busy making my costumes for SakuraCon, but the main purpose of the blog was to share things I learned in-progress of making costumes, so I kind of defeated the purpose. >_< I really do want to update it, though, and make it into something. (Right now the only entry of note is the one where I go into the whole making of the Romulan Commander costume: cos.crebain.net/2011/02/23/cos…
My original idea was to have more contributors than just myself, so that there'd be multiple opinions/types of costumes/conventions covered from different points of view than just my own. I would still definitely love to do that, I just haven't gotten around to asking anyone yet.
-Koei-Warriors dA group
Lastly, I recently became one of the admins of the group
I love most of the Warriors/Musou games a ton, so I'm really happy to be a part of the group. Check it out if you like the games, too!
Unfortunately it is not affiliated with the Koei-Warriors site, koeiwarriors.co.uk , but it is awesome, too. ;D
