with ax rolling around and trying figure out that line up is making me nostalgic for heartsteel again. wearing aphelios to AX was as fun as it was sweaty (i.e extremely), but so worth it

sandy dreams…my beloved…
id never intended to make the recolor for god of tides (even if it was roman’s favorite look of raf’s), but after loving wearing my original got cosplay, and then fixing so many parts of it…and roman continually seeding the idea, i couldn’t pass him up for AX. this fish was a labor of love and a terrible rolled hems lol
+ i got to make his flute! id missed making props and it was fun to dress up some pvc pipe with foam and acrylic paints
huge thanks as always to @alhelil.s for her circuit (and glitter vinyl stash), @spacenceprops for painting me lovingly, and @hearteyes.cos who sat through draping and more draping and reassuring me that i did look like the fanciest goldfish

who’s he looking at???
i had the absolute pleasure of playing till at @aicosu alien stage cafe as part of @kirakiracollectibles snow fairy fest. i genuinely had so much fun bringing my (second) favorite alnst character to life - even if i looked miserable the entire cafe 🤣
huge shoutout to my fellow cast mates + so many attendees for being game for anything (and lili who captured like EVERYTHING)

[ 02.14.26 fete109 banquet ]
@mephies.109 and their team put together truly one of a kind banquet celebrating lunar new year, valentine’s day, and most of all love and deepspace. it was a privilege to work with another incredibly talented team and seeing the whole thing come to life, and it was such a joy to see so many familiar (and new) faces as your favorite fish.
this is a small collection of countless highlights from my night (and my camera roll) - but please know there was so much more I wish I could’ve included. A month later I am still thinking about how much fun I had sharing an evening with you all.
special thanks to @trytomakeart one of the amazing photographers from the night and the cosplay cast and their handlers:

FETE109 wasn’t just an event — it was an experience, a spotlight, a memory in the making.
A huge thank you to @mephies.manifesto for creating such a special moment for everyone.
Thank you ⭐️ @aokka , 🐟 @beauyonder , ❄️ @okaygelaaa , 🐦⬛ @pixelbittercos , 🍎 @sakkumi for bringing the characters to life.
Thank you to every staff member who worked tirelessly behind the scenes.
And thank you to everyone who attended and shared this joyful, unforgettable day with us. You’re the reason it felt so alive.
As the red carpet photographer, I came up with the lens sign idea in the hope of giving you a way to preserve this memory with your LIs for a little more unique & special. And even standing beside your LIs, YOU WERE THE BRIGHTEST STAR✨.
May this video and the red carpet photos keep that shine alive just a little while longer🥰.

idol!rafayel’s full dance performance @ dancing with deepspace (hosted by @aicosu at ALA’26)
originally i hadn’t intended to put this together, even though my friends very kindly recorded it, but so many people asked to see so i couldn’t refuse
(seriously tho i so nervous leading up to it i thought i was going to throw up 🫠)
the whole event was so incredibly fun, and it was an honor to dance alongside so many equally enthusiastic hunters ♡

+ 365(ish) days in deepspace (happy lads-iversary)
last year my ass had no way of knowing what LaDs had in store for me. i’ve lived like seven lives since then, made and worn how many more outfits, and had actually the most insane year getting to working with dozens of incredible event organizers, cosplayers, and just friends alike.
i’m so incredibly lucky to be able to look back on this year so fondly and am so excited what opportunities this next one brings
to another year of insane WIPs, road trips, fun w friends and (hopefully) main story updates
📸 tagged on photos (i wish i could tag everyone who i’ve met and i’ve made memories with but i tried and instagram caps if at 20 😭)

another con weekend full of love and deepspace. from meet-ups and photoshoots to modica’s deli dinners and @aicosu ’s dancing with deepspace event, ala 2026 was as busy and fun as the last
i got to see so many friends and make so many more; thank you so much for taking a time out of your busy weekend to share a moment with me
(a dedicated dancing with deepspace video to come)

2025 // cosplay recap
you’ll never guess what consumed me, mind body and soul
it feels like I’ve lived like six lives this year because what do you mean I wore god of tides for the FIRST time. or that the first LaDs event I worked as in february???
this year i was so lucky to have had the chance to work with so many talented organizers and cosplayers. between insane cosplay crunches, learning Kpop covers and ballroom dances, figuring out event logistics, i just had so much fun.
i really wanted to put myself out there, to meet more people and make new friends - and i can’t describe how happy i am to be here now. genuinely, i’ve been so touched by y’alls generosity and kindness and creativity. there have been so many moments big and small that really made this hobby.
there’s plenty planned for the new year already, and I can’t wait to share it
as always, thank you ☆
