Cosplay Tips: Repair Kits!

Cosplay Tips: Repair Kits!

Let’s face it, at one point in time you’ve experienced a wardrobe malfunction and needed a quick fix. When you’re at a con, your cosplay is subject to lots of abuse at times! Heat, pushy crowds, drunkeness (lol), food accidents, etc. Stuff happens. So here is one way to be one step ahead!

Bring a repair kit with things you may need to permanently or temporarily fix your cosplay. Here are some ideas on what to bring:

A small sewing kit containing thread that matches each of your costumes and a needle or two.

Safety pins are great to have with you when you aren’t in the hotel room in case something pops that needs to be temporarily held!

A small first aid kit with some form of pain killer, band-aids, and hand sanitizer. (Band-aids come in really handy for blisters on your feet!)

Try to bring extra supplies. Hair nets, bobby pins, clips, things of that sort. Small things are easy to lose! This also goes for pieces of your costume that could potentially fall off, like rhinestones or small pieces of trim. Bring extra and the tools you need to reapply those!

Super glue. Just bring it, you’ll use it. Haha. Or a hot glue gun!

Scissors are handy too

Addition: I forgot to add bring a bleach pen or wipes for your clothes in case you spill food or something! 

These are just a few things that can make a really big difference when something goes awry! Keep this kit in your hotel room or nearby in your car and everything should be a-okay!

Happy cosplaying!

The Demonic Zodiac

One thing I’m surprised people don’t talk about more often is the Demonic Zodiac (also known as The Black/The Dark Zodiac.) The Demonic Zodiac represents the darker side of the human creature. They represent the darker side often overlooked in traditional astrology. The movie “13 Ghosts” created it’s own Black Zodiac to reflect the personalities described in the Demonic Zodiac.

Aries/The Selfish King: The selfish king rules in order to receive all the victories for themselves They are as angry as they are self-centered. Hates the Ravening Dog. They are arrogant, selfish, and hot-tempered.

Taurus/The Fallen Demon: The Fallen Demon lies through their teeth to gain the upper hand. They hate The Poisoned Dart. Main characteristics are malice, remorseful, and braggart.

Gemini/The Viper: The viper spits venom in their words and are skilled at it. They show no remorse when angry. The Viper hates the Hurricane and is emotionless and venomous.

Cancer/The Snake: When all others fight, the Snake crawls beneath their noses and strikes when the moment is right. The Snake is manipulative and drains the life form their victims. The Snake hates the Leviathan and is treacherous and deceitful.

Leo/The War Maiden: Warrior Goddess of Evil, The War Maiden is blood-thirsty and craves the spotlight. They value pride and honor before all else. They hate The Horned Beast. Main characteristics are pride and greed.

Virgo/The Maelstrom: Wrath from the Maelstrom is directed at all. The Maelstrom destroys all out of ignorance and is ruthless to all in their path. The Maelstrom hates the Weapon and their characteristics are aggravation and hypocrisy.

Libra/The Ravening Dog: The Ravening Dog acts on a whim, attacking anything in it’s path without thinking first. Represents the number 666. The Ravening Dog hates the Selfish King. Characteristics are reckless, accusative, and irrational.

Scorpio/The Poisoned Dart: The Poisoned Dart is known to carry grudges for a long time and strike when the moment is right, and it’s sting packs a lethal punch. The Poisoned Dart hates the Fallen Demon and is suspicious, abusive, and sinful.

Sagittarius/The Hurricane: The Hurricane represents blind destruction, withholding emotion until it explodes. It’s reckless destruction is directed toward those it hates, which is mostly all. The Hurricane hates The Viper and is destructive, reckless, and acts first.

Capricorn/The Leviathan: A blood-sucking leech, The Leviathan gains power from others. Their cunning allows them to steal while stealing the strength of the other signs. The Leviathan hates The Snake and is parasitic, powerful, and dangerous.

Aquarius/The Horned Beast: Abusive and controlling, The Horned Beast only shows this side of their personality to gain dominance and complete control over people. Hates The War Maiden and is confusing, manipulative, and abusive.

Pisces/The Weapon: The Weapon is blinded by it’s emotions, especially anger. The Weapon does not show until the easy way out is no longer applicable. The Weapon hates the Maelstrom and is impulsive, narrow-minded, and moody.

It’s important to remember there is a little evil in all of us, and the good parts wouldn’t exist without it. Evil should not be feared, it can be harnessed and turned into something useful. It should never, however, overpower the good. (This is also just for fun.)

How the Signs Process Negative Emotions

Air Signs: they feel emotions very strongly, but they tend to internalize them and they feel obligated to handle them on their own without burden others. Whenever something goes wrong, they push all of their problems into a corner and try very hard to act like they're okay. That is, until everything comes crashing down on them and causes them to have a breakdown, feel everything at once, and start to self-destruct. When they're breaking down, they can still hide it and only someone close to them would realize. They also tend to overthink their emotions and try to intellectuize them, often disappointed when scenarios or people don't live up to how they imagined them in their head.

Water Signs: their emotions are all-consuming and they are naturally more expressive with them than the other elements, and are more prone to express their feelings-- good or bad. They have small breakdowns more often but can recover quickly after confiding in others and getting advice, they learn to handle their emotions (but not prevent them). They also feel better by helping others, as they are very in tune to the emotions of those around them. Sometimes they tend to feel as though they don't even deserve to be upset, since others have much worse situations.

Fire Signs: they don't want to be sad, and then their sadness turns into anger at the sheer fact that someone or something caused them pain. they take their anger out on other people, when really they're just sad. But they're outbursts are short lived and they don't tend to hold grudges, since they're feelings and actions are impulsive and spur of the moment. They crave a carefree environment and don't stand for feeling vulnerable.

Earth Signs: they don't like to feel anything but grounded and safe, and thinking about difficult emotions causes them anxiety. They are naturally guarded and often detach from their emotions and try to channel them into something productive, even when things are starting to fall apart. Taking the blame doesn't come naturally to them at first, and their initial reaction in a crisis may be passive aggression and blaming others. They will only let themselves feel if they realize their apathy has really hurt themselves or someone else.

I don’t think this fandom appreciates Randalls fronds enough. 

They go from these wobbly little half flaccid head wieners

I Don’t Think This Fandom Appreciates Randalls Fronds Enough. 

To these fuckin glorious long majestic head gear beauties.

What we forget about the elements

Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius: Fire is not just limitless energy that gives and gives, these Signs are not the joyous, endlessly outgoing people they are portrayed to be. Fire is also the Element of destruction, hunger and pain. Fire Signs are not just happy go lucky kids, they're hungry for power, they're determined, they're not to be reckoned with.

Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn: Earth is the Element of support and cold strength but without the proper care and attention Earth becomes lifeless, unable to create and maintain the way these Signs are meant to. Earth Signs need interaction, attention, and care the same as all other Elements to stay as strong as they are.

Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius: Air is known for its focus on the mental and avoidance of emotion but these are not the mechanical people they are often portrayed as. Air Signs need to interact with others, to speak and communicate about all things, including emotion. Connecting with others is always key to this Element. They are warm and open, not cold or inhuman.

Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces: "Emotional" is the word that comes to mind when most think of Water Signs but we often misinterpret "emotional" for "sad" or "weak". Water Signs feel their every emotion: rage, desire, joy - every single one - as if it were a tidal wave. They are in touch with their true selves and there is nothing more powerful than that.

*Remember to check your dominant element*
