BEST JOURNEYMAN CRAFTSMANSHIP!!!!! this is genuinely so unreal to me. it’s the day after and i still cannot believe it. i started watching frieren about 2 weeks after sabo last year and immediately decided to make her. i spent 5 months, from may to now, making this cosplay, and even more prep before that. competing her at sabo was truly a full circle moment for me and this cosplay is truly just a labor of love. the series, the characters, just everything about frieren i am absolutely in love with and im so so glad i was able to do her character justice. (edit: not to flex but i did enter in novice and got bumped to journeyman🙂‍↕️) now for all the thanks: my mom @karturn09 who drove me to the fabric stores and let me bounce ideas off of for five whole months… and not to mention letting me take over the house to make this my late grandmother of course, who’s machines and supplies i now use in her name. the WONDERFUL judges that gave me this award, i truly cannot thank you enough for seeing all the hard work i put into this. thank you thank you thank you!!!!! my friends: @mayah_damage @dextersfishbowl @ultamatehamsterboi and so many more for letting me be insane about this build and supporting me throughout it. @kaironmancosplay for printing my staff pieces!!!!!!! he came in CLUTCH with that after my printer died so thank you so much 😭 @indigo_jinjo for the base pattern for frieren!! wonderful pattern with such detailed instructions that made this cosplay such a breeze! and of course, all of my fellow competitors!!!!! i truly loved every single cosplay i saw up on that stage and in the greenroom, ESPECIALLY ALL THE MIKUS!!!! please please please keep making and creating stuff even if it isn’t cosplay bc everyone who entered is so damn talented and i’m so proud of all of you!!!!! thank you again for all the love and support this weekend i appreciate it in a way that i can’t even describe 💕💕💕

2nd in novice!!!!!! what!!!!!!!!! i’d just like to say that i am so proud of myself! this cosplay is an absolute labor of love for sonic the hedgehog that im so happy i had the opportunity to make. this was 3 months of blood sweat and tears while also being in a musical and taking a trip overseas. i was so scared i wouldn’t finish it in time but con crunch pulled through!! to my amy rose, one of my favorite girls ever. <3 some thank yous: @choerryame for sitting me down a year ago and making me watch the snapcube sonic fandubs, which is what kickstarted my interest in sonic! my wonderful friends @dextersfishbowl @g0ldfishiee @mayah_damage @ultamatehamsterboi @phintae @anya_cosplays @alhelil.s @spacenceprops for hanging out with me this weekend and supporting me at the competition!
