My loot from the Sci-Fi days last weekend! @sfcd.eu was there with their big collection of books they save and sell at cons. It's a dream come true for people who like vintage books and super cheap. Also got these lovely patches from Sci-Fi Narische (didn't attent the con but they look so nice)
Photo of the covers of ten vintage science-fiction books like Solatis by Stanislaw Lem. There are all german editions Two iron on patches from a sci-fi convention in bavaria: Sternenkrieger & Fantasy-Treffen Sci-Fi Nariasche. On patch has the date of the 2023 event, the other 2024

Hard choices: Rose of Versailles, Saber Rider, Cat's Eye had to go. I chose Robin Hood because it was the first that made me hooked on the RTL2 anime. Honorable mentions to Neon Genesis Evangelion and Record of Lodoss War, very early VHS purchases I loved. Stuff I watched more recently is missing.

Ugh, getting up at 5:30 to get to the office because of a short merting that for some reason a colleague wanted to in person because???? (Salty because my whole body hurts from and I have to go to the office the next two days, too. Including a team workshop I'm not in the mood for)

It was a good decision to not wear a costume today. Since we were more than enough people at the booth I could walk around and shop a bit. My nephews were also there and I could spent some time with them.

Felt horrible yesterday, so no cosplay for me today. My whole body hurts, I'm exhausted. I felt so sad, that I should have fun instead I counted the hours. My body is just 'nope'. I'm so disappointed...two days of a con with comfy costumes and basically sitting most of the time shouldn't be so hard.

Cool how it took me years to make an appointment for a health checkup only for me not speaking about my health problems 💦

Since I found this pink pullover for 2,50€ ...guess a certain Dandadan cosplay might be within reach 😳

Connichi loot! The first booth and my first buy :D Volume one of 'Rift' by Mangawitch. You can also read it online in english, german and polnish on her homepage: www.rift-manga.com
A manga with a postcard sized print, bookmark and ferret stickers. The cover of the manga and the prints are the same motif of a blonde man embracing a woman from behind. He has his head tilted sideways and his eyes closed. She looks up to him with a soft smile.
The manga title is Rift and the author goes by the name Mangawitch

So, Connichi: It was a good idea to first browse through the artist alley after opening when it wasn't so crowded. Did some shopping there and still thinking about stuff I wish I bought. Saw the extreme cosplay gathering prelim which was amazing and made me all emotional.

Ready(?) for my trip to connichi 😶‍🌫️

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I love seeing all the connichi cosplay lineup posts. It's so crazy how crazy skilled people are in this hobby. (Focus on 'hobby', I mean people make the most amazing costumes while working fulltime)

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Sad that I don't have a connichi lineup, but glad I'm able to go on sunday. I want to see the cosplay contests and have a few workshops bookmarked :3

Somehow my week off went by in a daze. I'm only now starting to feel somewhat normal. I'd need another week to actually be productive

Our trip was cut short by the wheather but we got to see some awesome animals

Yesterday at MPS/ renfaire. Had it's up and downs. Prices have gone up so much and still it's so very crowded. Sadly I have no photo of my outfit. Shirts are so fun, I should wear them more often

Friday we had a meeting at work titled 'important information about our team' that everyone had to come to the office for. My thoughts were kinda spiraling to every worst case scenario and I wasn't the only one (we have colleague who is on sick leave for months now...)...

For some reason I've never in all the years of cosplaying made a circle skirt. So I changed that this weekend and made a simple one to use as an underskirt for some poof.

Since my partner is reading so much lately we resorted our bookshelves. Physical books are just so nice ✨ I used to read so much anf so fast when I was younger. Now I struggle so much with it. Buuut I managed to read a book I got from the library and felt so proud.

Yesterday was my nephews first schoolday so my family had a small gettogether with delicious cake. And Miko and I finally met up for more food (after exactly one year XD;;). Went to a Thai restaurant and chatted for a bit and I got super delicious tomatoes and Zucchini from their garden :3

Whoah...only this week and next week then I have a week off

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Proof that I actually did something productive this weekend. Doesn't look that nice since it isn't ironed and needs some topstitching, but it's wearable. I also kept my newspaper pattern so that I don't have to start at zero when making another one.

I hope that after this week summer will calm down. It's been okay in our apartment, I know other people have it way worse. But it's so annoying to plan everything around the heat and while I like being at home it's not good for my mental health to not leave the house all week.

Yesterday when I looked through older photos I got kinda sad when I saw that I started my Throné costume over 3 1/2 years ago and for three years it's in a box 90% finished (sharing the fate of my Prompto cosplay) T___T

I'm quite happy with my Animagic loot :3 I was really looking forward to the new Manga by Daniel Eichinger Oventroja, so I got it at the Egmont booth with all the goodies and an autograph ✨

Started writing my small personal animagic report for my neocities page after work yesterday. I'm always way behind and wanted to write while everything is still fresh.

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Animagic was really nice overall. My highlight was Mayumi Tanaka. I'm glad I went to the paanel on saturday (in the very last row) and saturday. She is such a cool person.

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
Animagic is great so far! I'm a very tired bean. Yesterday evening was wild though...all the trains stopped because they found a bomb from world war at the bridge that all trains have to go over when they cross the rhine river. I was glad I was with Miko so we survived the worst train ride ever.

I hope Ibuprofen let's me survive animagic

Three more days till animagic! Seems it will be hot but at least not 40°C hot. Like last year no cosplay for me :/ Just a few years back I managed three costumes, even more complicated ones like Alita. Still, I want to enjoy every convention I'm able to go to.

I spent a few hours today cleaning and was so tired afterwards. But it was so needed and it felt really good

Hmmm...heatwave for animagic :/ At least the location has proper aircondition

While it's nice that authors who got their work stolen will get some money, the ruling was “that training AI on books is fair use under copyright law.” They only get the money because pirated copies were used.

Spent my breaks painting something for my cosplay and when I was close to getting finished the paint flaked off. That's on me for skipping on primer.

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Hmm...had a talk with my team-lead and he was super supportive like 'I know how difficult everything is atm', 'I'm glad/proud of the work you do' and so on. Hmmm...

Randomly crafting was so fun this weekend. I need some of this positivity in my workweek instead of spiraling 💦

Maybe I don't need to be nostalgic for Prince of Tennis because it's still a thing :D

Mika @mikakitsune.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
It's over 20 years ago when I was in my big Prince of Tennis phase. The series helped me so much after I hit rock bottom after a traumatic event. It gave me the confidence to travel to Japan alone (including seeing the musical live and visiting Jump Festa in cosplay).
Volume 18, 19 and 31 of the japanese edition of Prince of Tennis ( Tenis no Ouji-sama) which was huge 20 years ago. Volume 31 was the newest when I visited Japan for the first time
