Day One Shenanigans, Scarlett- I mean… Syr Ginger… got to meet
@TappyToeClaws
🔥
Thank you for being a pillar in her wonderful experience at her first con. She was excited every time she saw you. ♥️
Day 2: Kiora 💙 This was surprisingly a lot harder than my Wrenn and Seven due to all the new skills that I took on. I wouldn’t have been able to turn my cane into a bident without
@CConcarnage
. I look forward to making more disability friendly cosplays.

#disabledcosplayer
So who would like to purchase a Secret Lair (Swords to Plowshares from

) from Scarlett?
Her consent was given to sell and the money will be hers. (Although she did state she wanted to share the money with her brother Sage🥹)

and it FINALLY happened. She was so excited to be meeting her cosplay hero. Thank you Taalia ♥️
I have more to say and more photos, just wait for the Double Elspeth! 🥹)
Never got around to posting this on here but... I was 1 of the 10 people selected for the New Perspectives Grant. I am very grateful to get to be a part of this! If you’re a past/current member, say hi! (I’m trying to get into the discord still 🙃)
1/6 Alright everyone, Scarlett needs this community to come together for her for something that has caused some very big feelings.
As it stands none of the kids she invited to her birthday party will be attending. This includes family.
I’ve never seen her so disappointed.
Scarlett’s bounty of the weekend consists of: a hat, a backpack, 40 assorted booster packs (MoM, ONE, Brothers War, JumpStart, Dominaria United, Kamigawa, LOTR, BFZ, Commander Masters, Wilds of Eldraine), a playmat, 3 pins and many tokens, stickers, and the Secret Lair! 🖤
Does anyone else tell themselves “I’m going to take a quick shower” and then instead just totally disassociate in the fiery waters of hades for at least an hour… or are you normal?
Look at this work of ✨art✨… and the image I drew of her! 💙
But really, just look at the inspiration of my latest creation, the always lovely

I drew this as a bit of a thank you for being so kindhearted (but also that original photo of her is such a cool shot to

Day 2: Satoru Umezawa 💜, Brisela ♥️, and Elspeth 🤍!
@YawgGoth
did an INCREDIBLE job on this cosplay. Everything was top notch as usual. Glad we got to catch up, can’t wait to see you next time! 😊
3/6 money or likes or follows or anything like that.
We would be so so appreciative if anyone who sees this could record themselves saying a simple “happy birthday” to her.
If you you want to say more, feel free! (Bonus if you’re in cosplay if that’s how she met you! Or if
Not me ✨screaming✨ at being followed by yet ANOTHER insanely talented cosplayer… 😅
My daughter goes: I CANT READ WHAT DOES IT SAY?! 😂 (she can read a little but definitely not your name lol, she’s 4)
4/6 you have something Halloween-ish or dinosaur related going on)
The deadline for this would be November 1st so that I may edit them all together and play it for her at her party on the 4th as a little surprise from the community she has found her place in.
I will be
Scarlett got a slice of pizza bigger than her head, a delta pin, and is all tucked in watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse 🖤
See you soon Boston!
Welp.
My cosplay has been all but destroyed in travel.
I have a little over a day to salvage what remains and potentially remake several key components.
This was supposed to be my “biggest” cosplay yet and now I’m debating just dropping from the contest entirely.
5/6
tagging some of you specifically in comments to be sure this is seen but again, anyone is welcome to do so to lift the spirits of this wonderful little human who is experiencing some heartache.
Thank you 🖤

Day One 🤪
If anyone has the handle of the booth or this lovely individual please @ them here! They were so awesome with Scarlett and I appreciate how much they hyped her up 🔥♥️
2/6 If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Scarlett, you’ll know that she is the brightest light in even the darkest of rooms. She is so full of empathy and love for everyone and goes out of her way to make other people’s days better.
So what I’m asking from all of you is not
If you follow me, you are contractually obligated to tag me on any new merfolk that you find.
Especially if it comes from Ixalan.
Thank you all for your cooperation 🩵😂

Day 2: Brisela
This was my very first time attempting to make wings AND I was able to make sure they were still articulated (with the help of the kind
@HoustofCards
in the green room) after they narrowly survived being checked on a certain airline 😅🙃
If you need a mom figure on this plane for whatever reason... I am your mom now.
Remember:
1. Always be kind but don’t let anyone take advantage of you.
2. Make sure to eat and stay hydrated.
3. Never give up. (Especially on yourself.)
I’m so proud of you all 🖤
Going to be catching up on the rest of
#MCVegas
photos!
Here’s more of Day Two!
Thankful for
@Atagirlart
for capturing these photos of Scarlett as she saw me on stage.
So cute! 🥹
I’m sad that this beauty doesn’t have a name yet (or at least not one that’s been released yet) which means I cannot cosplay her for Vegas. She is currently my NUMBER ONE pick for Chicago and that means no more cosplay worthy art can come out between now and then. K thanks 😅
Hypothetical question (and not AT ALL because I had to paint myself into my cosplay the other day)…
How would one expedite the process of removing acrylic paint stain from one’s skin? (Specifically of the thigh area) 😅
Photo is totally NOT evidence of such stupidity…
@1N1KO
I just want to say that my 4.5 year old daughter and I were listening to this and here is how the conversation went...
Scarlett: Shes got-
Me: They.
Scarlett: Oh! THEY have a beautiful voice!
Me: I agree!
All love over here.
🖤
Me *stressed about the 3 checked bags needed to transport Brisela*: I need to stop trying to go bigger on each cosplay I do.
Also me now: So we’ll have a total 6 free checked bags!
@CConcarnage
: Oh nice.
Me: You know what that means?!
Him: Don’t-
Me: BIGGER COSPLAY!
Him: 😒
Hey everyone!
With all the chaos of chronic illness, Halloween, and the party planning… I’ve been late on getting back to people but I’m working on that now!
The deadline for sending any recordings to be compiled for Scarlett has been extended to tomorrow! Thank you all! 🖤✨
Post 4 characters you wanted to be when you were a kid 🖤
This was sooooo hard because the list is much longer but this is good enough. That being said…
Have…have I made it? 🥹
Post 4 characters you wanted to be when you were a kid.
I reached way back in my memory for these- but I literally always had a type of character I gravitate to most.
In case anyone needs a reminder of my dedication to cosplay... I’m on day 4 of an allergic reaction to the makeup 🙃
(I’m allergic to essentially *all* makeup besides lipstick and suck it up for cons/cosplays. “But you have makeup on normally”- My eyeliner/brows are tattooed)
With the 20th anniversary of the Fallen album, I’m sharing this again because:
1. Evanescence was a pillar of my life musically
2. Amy Lee was one of my first girl crushes 🏳️🌈
3. I used to perform Evanescence covers to open/feature for other bands (and is still a karaoke go-to)
*Headphones for best sound quality* STORY TIME! Singing was one of my passions. I regularly participated in karaoke, singing events, and at one point was even in an Evanescence cover band.
I say it *was* one of my passions because in 2020 I had a major surgery on my throat that
RSV tore through our house and everyone is doing okay now.
However, having severe RSV while immunocompromised had been almost a month of hell and I’ve not been on here for that very reason.
Slowly but surely getting back to it and hope to catch up on all the things asap!
💛
More Day 2: Post-contest! Finally got the chance to meet Family the Gathering!💙
These two are the coolest kids. (They must get that from their equally cool parents!
@FamilytheGathe1
@Atagirlart
) Definitely looking forward to seeing you all again! 🖤
Thank you to all who participated in sending Scarlett some extra love for her birthday party!
I’m sorry I haven’t been present recently- chronic illness strikes again and I have been in a lot of pain.
I’ll be getting back to everyone and posting Scarlett’s reaction soon! 🖤

Day One: Huge shoutout to

for giving Scarlett a whole new view on witches and being her buddy throughout the whole con.

Going to take a peak around the convention center while I’m still able to. Pain has me in a vice grip today.
Why would Scarlett pick a party theme that we can just buy stuff for at like… Party City or something when she can instead pick one that requires me to DIY everything for the low low price of: all my remaining sanity and spoons 🙃
The theme?… SPACE DINOS 😂
The amount of makeup remover wipes and face wash it has taken me to get the evidence of Kiora off my face should be some sort of Guinness Record.
With that said, I still have blue on my face. Send help because it is staining 🙃

Thank you again! 🖤
Getting admitted to the hospital, having investigative laparoscopic surgery and then unexpectedly losing a fallopian tube during said surgery (rip righty) was not on my 2023 bingo card but here we are… 🙃
So I have LOTS of cosplans lined up but I’ve been asked a couple times if I’d dip into One Piece.
The answer? Absolutely.
Help me decide where to start!

Monday- picked up our 1 year old at 10pm after a 1 hour drive and a 6 hour flight.
Tuesday- Unpacked and cleaned, minimal to no sleep.
Wednesday- Spent all but 2 hours of the day in the hospital being support for my sister in law.
Thursday- At 3:48a I helped deliver a baby
😅
In 2020 & 2021 we did a 31 days of Halloween challenge with Scarlett dressing up daily. In 2022 we only did some of the days with both kids (things were crazy with a newborn 😅). And this year we are going to TRY to do 13 days.
I’m going to post all the years here! 🎃
I’m going to do my best to participate in several

challenges but I’ll mostly be focusing on art I’m trying to catch up on for people 🖤
So for Day 1. I’ll share this cute simple little drawing I did for Scarlett’s birthday of her 💛 and Sage 💚
