best decks for little ones?

hiya, kiddo is wanting to get into the tcg, but i’m not sure on what deck i should recommend? ideally something simple for him, but (as most little kids go) would probably also want something with ‘cool’ cards w/ high attack. big fan of lucario & the like, but i know that’s… not always how deck building goes. any ideas for an accessible/adaptable deck would be lovely <3

edit to add: you’re all absolute stars <3 thanks so much.

what do you sort fics by?

very simple question, when browsing for fics, what’s your go-to sorting method on ao3? (the whole ‘sort-by’ section in filtering)

i normally just leave it as date updated, but im curious because i know a lot of people use other filters instead

Wig styling into mohawk?

hiya :] back yet again, trying to figure out a cosplay for the (distant) future. one of the most prominent parts of the character is their hair, so i’m not really looking to change it too significantly.

issues im coming up against are:

• their hair glows. i don’t think there are many wigs that glow without also being a fire hazard. so unless there’s a grand way around that i guess ill just forgo it.

• they wear headphones that go *through* the hair, and i’d like to not crush their hair with them.

• i fear that something like a mohawk as a wig would look somewhat weird? as a characteristic part of a mohawk is… not having hair elsewhere? but then itd just be wigcap? so then i was thinking a sorta fauxhawk-styled thing, but i imagine that yields a similar problem.

• im doing a stylised version of the char or id just sculpt it out of foam & put it on a helmet unfortunately

again, any advice (even if its just ‘here’s a youtube video that does something similar’ would be grand. photos attached w/ some reference for the hair. it does change a little bit from image to image as official depictions vary. not exactly looking to dye my hair neon orange.

cheers <33

Etiquette around photography &amp; declining photos

Hiya,

Been to several cons & cosplay events before, both in and out of cosplay, so this is far from my first rodeo. However, I normally tend towards characters that are niche enough maybe one person total will recognise it (out of a couple thousand), so I’ve never had to worry with people asking for photos.

My next con I’m going as somebody much more recognisable, and I‘m wondering, would it be seen as impolite to decline photos?

I just loathe the idea of my (heavy made-up) face or (heavily masked) body on somebody’s phone, as irrational as that is. I just fear that people will take it as dickish if I just say ‘no’ whenever somebody asks for a photo, given I don’t really have a good reason.

Any advice on how best to communicate that to people, or how to get over the problem, would be appreciated. Cheers <3
