TIAB, Always and Forever 💫🚀🫶 An emotional roller coaster but a journey I’m so thankful for! 💚🖤 This team, this club and these girls will forever be a part of me and memories that I truely will treasure forever. It took 4 years of dedication and damn hard work to walk out on the worlds mat, even with being the travelling alternate in 2024 there were many challenges I had to face and those close to me know my road to worlds was not a straight line, but they believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. To my coaches @jamileeyoung and @legacyjoel - Thankyou for your tough love and encouragement, know that you have both helped shape who I am today. I want to put this out there as you are never too old to pursue something. In 2019, I started competitive cheerleading in my final year of my second undergraduate degree at 25 years old (last picture, go redbacks 🤭) I grew up dancing but never did I think I’d be a cheerleader. In April 2026, I competed at Worlds, the highest level competition available with @sccinterstellar , level 6 all girl non-tumble, one of the toughest divisions. Go chase the impossible! There is soo much I could keep writing but it will turn into a personal essay. Wholeheartedly this sport has taught me more about myself than I could have thought. I walk away with lifelong friends. I walk away knowing I was part of something really special 🥹 I think I’ve been avoiding this post because I don’t want it to be over. For now, I am officially retired. I have other things to pursue and dreams to chase. Could I be swayed to return? Maybe, who knows what the future holds! But for now, I’m going to enjoy my freedom and let my body/injuries heal 😅 I’m still available for the occasional stunt session perhaps 🤔 #cheerleading #cheerworlds #southerncrosscheer #sccinterstellar @southerncrosscheer

Strength through control 🖤 Black is my colour and we all know I’m more of a dark side gal ✨ Disneybounding as vadar was so much fun! Was back to Batuu and galaxy’s edge to celebrate ‘Revenge of the 5th’. It made me appreciate just how busy it was the previous day on the 4th. Took advantage of single rider lines to do rise and smugglers run multiple times. Some 6 year old pilots gave me a run for my money and I’ve now learnt just how much control you actually have on the falcon, bumpy ride 😅 Thanks to the cast members for their great interactions, I had a blast and can’t wait till I can visit again in future! #disneyparks #galaxysedge #disneybound #revengeofthefifth #disneyaunz @disneyaunz

Pictured: A very happy Aussie Star Wars nerd living her best life @waltdisneyworld Galaxy’s Edge 💫 An early start but packed everything in for an incredible May 4th here at Hollywood Studios! Day included: - Securing a virtual queue position for merch at 7am - Escaping a first order ship with ‘Rise of the resistance’, took advantage of the single rider line right as it was opening as crowd levels were high for the celebrations! Only recommended if you’ve ridden before as it does skip the pre-shows! - Highlight of meeting mando and grogu!! He liked my outfit and allegiance to the rebels. I also got to tell grogu how good he is! - Took a ride with ‘Star Tours’ and helped Ahsoka with an ambush amongst space whales - Encountered the first order where the officer thanked me for “disassembling that droid” in response to my R2D2 ears from @disneystoreau - Tried a Rondo Wrap (allergy friendly of course) - Piloted the Millennium falcon on Smugglers Run - Got my limited edition ‘May the 4th’ Merch Best Star Wars day a fan could ask for! ✨🥹 Stay tuned for more when we change sides for ‘Revenge of the 5th’ tomorrow 🖤 #disneyparks #maythe4th #mandalorianandgrogu #galaxysedge #disneyaunz @disneyaunz

Happy May 4th to the Aussies back home! I’ll be starting my celebrations tomorrow here in Orlando, but great opportunity to share some @badkarmaphotos lightsaber photo pics from last year ⚔️ Both Pirate Sora and Astarion sewn by me! 🪡 #cosplay #maythe4th #kingdomheartscosplay #astarioncosplay #cosplayphotography

“Ah, you’re so adorable when you’re thinking what to say” 📸 Credit: @joshmckennaphotography taken at @ozcomiccon Xmas These are actually some of my favourite camp Astarion photos we took. The contrast between being ready for battle and lounging at camp. It is also a super comfy cosplay which I think will become a bit of a go to for me.

Stage pics from Tournament of Champions Australian Qualifier at @thegameexpo and my Astarion build stage debut 🩸 📸 Photography Credit @nothatinstaxguy First but hopefully not the last time you’ll see this build onstage 👀 I’ve got plans and fun upgrades to come… I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to compete alongside some incredible cosplayers in this competition. A special shout out to @owldamone as the cosplay coordinator for being the absolute goat 🐐 and running the show, as well as @thegemcosplay for being a fabulous host. Thankyou to everyone who came to support 🥹🥹 and listen to me yap about my dagger and embroidery 🗡️✨ #cosplaycompetition #tgx2026 #bg3cosplay #astarioncosplay #baldursgate3cosplay

Astarion Cosplay details and process: Rhapsody Dagger 🗡️ I am so proud of this prop and how far my foam work has come in the last 2 years! It was such a fun challenge to build with the complex shapes and a chance to play with new materials 🤩 I’m obsessed with the details, the magnetic belt attachment and that I got the whole thing to weigh under 100gms! Process steps: - Created a blueprint using Inkscape based on in game screenshots - Structured as 3 pieces: inner core, right and left side - Wooden dowl for support surrounded by foam which was dremel sculpted for the centre core section. Ended up going back to add some wire to the tip for extra support at end - Center covered using apoxy clay for texture and ‘bone’ appearance. Hand sculpted clay details - Outer sections from 5mm EVA foam with garden wire sandwiched between to allow it to be bent into shape and glued with contact cement. Lots of dremel work to smooth and shape - Resin cast gems with puff paint details and cutouts created with wood burning tool - Hand painted center with acrylic paints. Outside sections and ends spray painted with gold and silver before texturing all the silver sections with black oil paint to give aged appearance and resemble older metal - Magnetic attachment embedded in handle for “floating” prop as per game mechanics First photo by @badkarmaphotos #rhapsodydagger #bg3cosplay #cosplayprop #foamprop #astarioncosplay

“You’re right. I can be better then him, but I’m not above enjoying this” 🗡️🩸 These might be my favourite photos of my Astarion cosplay yet and I’m not going to shut up about him anytime soon darlings 📸 Thankyou @badkarmaphotos for these gorgeous snaps, the devil is in the details and he always makes me look good 😈 Also to @thegameexpo for setting up a photowall for us cosplay competitors to get some detail snaps which I’ll share in due time.

“One for all isn’t meant to do harm, it’s a power to save” Happy 10 years anniversary to my favourite anime! You found me at a time in my life I needed you most and Deku will always have a special place in my heart 💚 Some throwback un-posted pics from @cogs_network photowalk last year. Think it’s time to revamp my Deku this year - might work on his newer costume 🤔 although the delta suit will always be my favourite!
