Nan / Tech lessons / trial and error

Flailspacking and failing and redoing usually.

I DO tend to stay cheap xD my queen victoria was made of poly cotton and ribbon xD

[[cos-PLAY]]

I do the occasional partner / group cosplays. But I don't have specific people that I always do it with, it's more of a whoever wants me thing xD

When necessary But I won't do it all the time, too lazy for that xP

- Have you ever done fanservice at a con? (Yaoi, yuri, etc)
Uhh no xD

Uhh I don't unless it's a character I LOVE xD

Not really.. unless they have a really specific one. Like Victoria I had my Ciel hold my hand up high and when on my own I'd walk with my hands folded etc.

Yes? I dunno xD
