Okay. So, the first person I tried befriending on the bus was just kinda where we talked for one day and that was it, which kinda sucks because I was already running low on star beads and decided to use them for her bracelet. On the other hand, last Friday a girl told me that I looked cool, so that Sunday I made the bracelet shown above, this is probably the biggest kandi thing i've ever made ngl! And this time, we're actually friends!!! This morning she gave me a piece of opossum jaw and are already discussing cosplays we could do together!! I THINK I'VE FINALLY MADE A NEW REAL FRIEND THAT WON'T ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ME AFTER A YEAR THIS IS SUCH A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT!! >:3

Do y'all know of anywhere where I can get an ethical swift fox tails and raccoon tails that aren't too expensive? Preferably similar to my other ones in the picture. I don't really have anyone around where I live that I can ask or anything, so it'd have to be online shops

They aren't my ESSA (while they are weighted, they don't help me that much because imo bigger but thiner plushes help) but I just thought y'all would appreciate this. The other day I found wire that i've been saving and so I made them piercings then remembered that I owned spiked bracelets sooo yeah. They don't have a name yet, i'm thinking Berry but if y'all have any other/better name ideas you can lemme know :3

So someone this morning told me that I dressed cool, so now I wanna make them kandi because idk, I enjoy giving nice people trinkets and stuff. The second image shows what I made someone else on my bus but i'm lowkey running out of stars and enjoy using stars a bunch but my moms tired of bringing me to Hobby Lobby soooo now is a good time to try stuff I haven't done yet! The first image shows what I thought might be good but I don't know how easy it'll be. So far i've only made a small ladder cuff, small stars, big stars, singles, and that bone bracelet, so I don't know how hard the x-band would be compared to these. Also, any other ideas of kandi I should try making I would gladly take! X3

Which plushie should I bring with me to church? I say just "plushie" because these aren't my ESSA, my ESSA is a giant cigarette plushie but one, it won't fit in my bag. And two, church isn't really an appropriate place for that imo. So, my mom is trying to change churches because she doesn't agree with one of the things being taught (aka she doesn't like the church we've been going to because they support LGBTQ+ and she believes it's wrong and that they shouldn't support that). I'm really anxious about this new church... usually, at my normal church they do things like costume contests around Halloween and trick-or-treating and having the hallways filled with confetti and I always felt good going in there in my own style and I wouldn't ever get judged for it (my usual day to day outfits outside of school usually consists of me wearing a whole bunch of kando bracelets and taxidermy tails), but I feel like this new church is gonna make me feel bland, insecure, and unaccepted because i'm bi. Anyways, I don't know who to bring with me. My fox plushie (soft af), a scalemate plushie my friend made me (my beatie is my favorite person ever), or Oliver (my fictional son)

(If this has the wrong flair please let me know! It was kinda a mix of question and vent so I didn't know which one to choose)

Someone really cool looking sat next to me on the bus so if they sit by me again im planning on giving them this kandi in an attempt to befriend them because I don't know how to talk to people 👍

All last year they sat on the row opposite of mine and they looked cool then too and usually wore a GIR hoodie (lowkey jealous but it's fine) so I was contemplating making them an Invader Zim kandi too but I genuinely don't know if they'll sit there again or not and my mom doesn't know about (and 100% wouldn't like) Invader Zim so I can't even wear it myself sooooo yeah

I just got home from a day at an Expo and it was great!! Everyone there was super nice and there were some great cosplays (not going to add their pictures because I didn't ask permission, but they were epic)! There were so many vendors and games, but I mainly felt like the majority of vendors were selling Pokémon or DnD stuff (FINALLY less 3d printed slop). Also, last year when I went I wanted to go to the Free Mom Hugs booth but just couldn't find it but this year I found it really easily, it was amazing. I'm not even lying when I say I was THIS close to breaking down in this woman's arms because she was so reassuring, she asked me if I could tell my counselors or anyone besides my two main friends and I can't so she recommend me something called The Trevor Project which I might use in the future. My mom's VERYYYY homophobic (she learned in the middle of a Mellow Mushroom that I was bi, didn't talk to me or seem to want to look at me for two straight days, then continued to brush it off and continue thinking im straight). I'll have to hide the very clear LGBTQ+ bracelets and the papers for the earings and suncatcher, but that shouldn't be a problem. Y'all, I also got to meet the voice actor of the hand unit in FNaF!!! I didn't get his picture or signature because each cost $50 and I wasn't about to pay that much just for that, so I took a picture of the booth when he was gone

Tomorrow i'm finally going to be able to give my friends the kandi I made for them!!! The big stars are all based on my friends favorite characters and the small ones are some of their flags! (For my friend that has the Lassiter big star, she only had one flag and I didn't want her to have less kandi so I made her a Psych single)! Tomorrow i'll also hopefully find someone trans to give the star trans to >:]

So I need y'all's help BAD. I bought a big bag to bring with me to an expo so I had something to carry all my props for my cosplay and the stuff i'm gonna buy, but I've been also just carrying it around as a normal bag because yes. But one of my dogs ripped the zipper trying to get something in it while I was out. I managed to make the good portion of the zipper still functional and put a safety pin as a stopper, but I need to fix this bag by THIS Saturday... I was wondering if it's possible to just cut the bad portion of the zipper off and put a different zipper in that place or if I need to put in a whole new zipper. I don't have enough time to order another bag. I've tried looking online but all the tutorials but I wasn't able to find any

FINALLY FINISHED MY MICHAEL AFTON FOXYBRO COSPLAY AFTER AROUND TWO MONTHS OF WORKING ON THIS FREAKING MASK!! THE HOT GLUE BURNS HAVE PAID OFF! It isn't perfect, but I personally feel like it's peak

So this was one of the bases I was originally going to use as my Foxybro mask base but I thought the eyes were way too small for my liking so I remade it. I used this mask base as a way to practice gluing and attaching things before I did it to my main mask because I've never done this before, but I really don't wanna just toss this out, any ideas of what I can do to fix the eyes and what animal I can turn this into?

I'm wondering if I need a thicker/wider elastic strip for my Foxybro mask to actually stay or not, does it even matter though?? In tutorials I see them have wider elastic, but i'm going to the store tomorrow and would like to know if I should pick up a different size or not

So, i'm cosplaying FNaF Michael Afton (Foxybro) and it's going along pretty well, but I don't know what I should do about my nails. They're currently longer than what i'm going to have them as for the expo (i'm gonna make em really short), but I don't know if I should paint my nails black or not or if the gloves with the bracelets looks dumb. I feel like the black nail polish may bring too much edginess and I have no problem keeping them unpainted, I just want y'all's opinion on it!

So I just now decided that I would like to line my Foxybro mask to make it look a bit nicer from the inside and I found this fabric as I was trying to find something big enough to work. In the second picture it shows that you can actually see through it if you're close, I don't know exactly what material this is, but would it work to line my mask?
