So I'm not entirely sure anyone will actually read this, but I wanted to share my thoughts as I've been on this journey. Cosplay has always been a hobby that I've enjoyed, because I have found some incredible friends through the community, and met some really fun people. &nbsp; But in the five years that I've been out of touch with it, I've noticed a lot of changes. &nbsp; Vanity seems to have grown pretty prominent with how accurate someone's able to portray a character, and though people have this "nice factor" they elicit to cosplayers' faces, behind their backs is where I've seen the most criticism. That being said, I've delayed my return to the

This year has been quite the year for me! &nbsp; It started out kind of rough, only because I was working in the legal field, forcing myself to conform to the box that I thought that I needed to be in. &nbsp;It was an arena that I'd gone to school for, double-majored in, and had studied my ass off to achieve. &nbsp;But once graduation got here and I started working, I realized just how miserable and unhappy I was. So...I quit. My stress levels dropped enormously, and I started doing small things that made me happy again. &nbsp;Like playing video games, listening to music, and contemplating going back to school for something completely different. &nbsp; I got a job

Hi everyone! I'm officially a college graduate. &nbsp;YAY! &nbsp;It's barely been a week since I walked across that stage, and it hasn't quite hit me yet. &nbsp;I spent nine and a half years obtaining two Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Sociology. &nbsp;While it was enlightening in some ways, it was stressful in a lot of others. &nbsp; I had to take an extended break from cosplay after my mom got sick a few years ago, and then college became my life. Now that I'm done though, I'm going to be gradually getting back into this wonderful hobby I loved so much. &nbsp; I'll be starting out with quite a herculean endeavor (because that's just how I do things, lol)

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year:LongStemRose: 
Nice gallery ♥
Thank you so much!!! :heart: :heart: 
Thanks for the llama :happybounce:

I knew a llama once. At least I thought I knew him. I mean, how well can anyone really know anyone, much less a llama. With their air of mystery and thinly veiled contempt. It’s hard. But I digress.
His name was Kevin. But for reasons I will never understand, he would only ever answer to Albert. Identity issues aside, things started out okay. The usual introductory sniffing and sneezing went well, despite his allergies, but then things started going downhill during the ritual licking phase of the pleasantries. We pushed through. And had it not been for the spitting, we might have even been able to make it work, but alas, after just 3 seconds of bittersweet brotherhood, we finally decided to part ways. It’s kind of sad, when you think about it. Spitting seems like such an innocent thing to fight over, but he was pretty adamant that I should stop and that was just never going to happen. We might have overcome that issue, but Kevin, like all llamas, was very competitive. First came the stench competitions. Then it was belching contests. And lastly, a painstaking count to see which one was hairier. You can clearly see why our relationship was doomed. The poor fellow was a bit of a sore loser.
So he snuck out, taking with him a failed friendship, an obliviously optimistic dread of the future, and my sixth favorite toothbrush. Now that he is gone, I can honestly say, it's for the best. He was too much of a chick magnet anyway and who needs that poultry drama? :shakefist:

Full disclaimer, as Kevin’s official biographer, a position of which he blackmailed me into (don’t ask), I’ve been instructed to inform you about his ongoing series. The journey starts here with The Kevin Chronicles - Chapter 1, and this gallery contains the rest. You should check it out.

*End of cue card*

And don't worry, they're pretty short.
No pressure though, only if you want.
:D

Sorry about the late reply. Working on the backlog. ^^;  
*giggles*  That actually was pretty fun to read, thank you for the smile!  :lol: :heart:
Thank you so much for the Points!! I greatly appreciate it! :-)
