seananmcguire:amiafairyprincessyet:I did what had to be done, and I think I may finally be starting to understand what’s important. It’s all about finding the way home, wherever that is. I plan on finding out. I have time.Here’s the new cosplay I alluded to! I’ve gotten into the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire recently, which is funny, because I normally find mystery novels super boring. I guess the way to interest me is to add fairies! I tweeted Seanan McGuire (she’s active on social media) and asked which of the jeans and sneakers I have in my closet would work best for early-in-the-series Toby; she said mom jeans and running shoes. But my mom jeans are kinda uncomfortable and difficult to move in, so I ended up getting these ones while I was at the mall after Pacific Rim: Uprising–they’re really stretchy and I definitely could kick someone in the face if I needed to. (Also they’re cuter and I’m vain. Toby wouldn’t care, but I do.)Like the absolute fool that I sometimes am, I spaced out and left my other brown leather jacket at home. Sure, the one I’m wearing here looks like something Tybalt might wear, but the other one is actually a men’s jacket and it fits me like one; this one is a little small. I also need to mess with the wig (shoutout to @ardawigs for sending it to me so quickly) since it’s too high-quality and thick, so the pointy ears don’t show unless I pin it out of the way! Maybe I should just get bigger ears…[Image description: three slightly out-of-focus photos of a young woman (me) wearing a long, chocolate brown wig with no bangs. It’s pinned in such a way that my ears poke through–I have on pointy elf ears that are a surprisingly good match to my skin tone. I’m wearing a greenish-brown T-shirt and dark blue bootcut jeans. Over them, I have on a grey-brown leather jacket that looks super Elizabethan. It has sleeves that kinda puff up at the shoulders, some lacing in the front, etc. I’m wearing grey-and-black sneakers with white soles. I have a big smear of (FAKE) blood starting at the left (MY left) side of my mouth and going back towards the side of my face. I’m not wearing glasses, I’ve contoured a fair bit, and I have on light pink lipstick. The first and third photos are in front of a grey wall, while in the second photo I’m partway up a tree. In the first photo, I’m wiping the smear of blood with my hand. In the second, I’m sitting in the tree and looking to the side. In the third, I have my hands in my pockets and one foot against the wall.]Gasp.GASP.This is DELIGHTFUL.THESE ARE GREAT -- source link
