and it was genuinely a very simple interaction, but I am in absolute shambles from that little bit of polite kindness. in today's world where everything is chaos and negativity, a little star like her really brightened my day. I hope she'll always be okay. 💖

but she did since he was taking a little bit. and we just talked about the cups for a bit -- I was honestly shook since the cherry blossom designs never make it stateside, and she was super interested in my Starbucks cup knowledge.

she was waiting for her drink and was holding the change from the cash she used. the mom in me was telling her to put her cash away to be safe. she didn't want to because it was her dad's cause he paid for her drink but went to the rr. 🥺

to the sweet little black girl that chatted with me at Starbucks this morning just randomly commenting on the new cherry blossom cups and concluding our short convo with a lil wave and "it was so nice meeting you!" you made my entire day and I hope never dim your light for anyone.

I bought a brand new wet n wild eyeliner specifically for this and the felt tip got super dry 😔 I'll look into the break up one tho

every time I get used to an eyeliner it's either discontinued or they change the formula and I absolutely hate that shit.

The Great @dianathegreat.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

what is your favorite liquid eyeliner brand? felt tip pen preferred. I need something that is saturated/opaque AF that can also handle being applied on top of heavy makeup/face paint.

Joann’s closing post their monopoly destroying a lot of small fabric businesses across the country is gonna impact cosplayers, and sewing/crafting hobby-ists of all kinds. But hopefully it will give a chance for new small local fabric shops to pop up as well as those shops struggling to survive…

very serendipitous that during this time of reflection on my cosplay beginnings and that first award, the offspring in his cosplay beginnings gets his first award. (we worked together to make his Static Shock cosplay.)

Dad's been gone for almost 4 years now, but every con season it's heartwarming to look back at my very humble beginnings, and how intrinsic his support was. as a matter of fact, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have "The Great" as my moniker.

7 years ago this month I entered my very first cosplay competition. I received a Judges Choice award. my grumpy ass dad, who through much of my life was known to be very stoic and never really expressed emotions, would tell any and everyone about how his daughter was Wonder Woman.

#tbt of this first digital painting I attempted of my friend @dianathegreat.bsky.social Done in Procreate and text done in Photoshop! #myart #procreate #Spiderverse #dianathegreat #digitalpainting #spider #cosplay #pink

Tall skinny digital painting of Diana the Great, she dons a pink, white and black spiderman style suit. pink fro hairstyle and pink body paint on her face. She is pointing "webshooter" fingers towards the viewer and smiling subtly. Her name is typed up the right side from the bottom upwards. Behind her is bright blue spiderwebs and a city skyline. This piece was done by me in procreate a couple of years prior to posting.

thank you! it's actually super light, because it's not full pool noodles, just pieces of it. then I sliced them open and used a small blast of heat to flatten them. there's no real weight to it at all.

thank you! she is so well loved but grossly underrepresented when it comes to actual cosplays. so I wanted mine to be as canon as possible to serve as a blueprint and hopefully inspire others to bring her to life too.

Ryme, pt 2-- the shoe covers are foam, I'm wearing slides beneath them necklace is also foam, earrings are worbla/resin mic is a real mic base I gutted and molded a cover for w/foam & foam clay, then painted. I also filmed everything too if you ever want walkthroughs.

Ryme, from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet! since a few of you liked it, here's a couple fun facts about this cosplay-- sewn/made entirely by me (6 wks) the bones of the wig are actually pool noodles wrapped in quilt batting/braiding hair and crochet'd to a base only cosplay I painted my nails for lol
