I made cosplay clothes of TARDIS. Women’s version. For my friend. She is going to go to the Tokyo Comic Con in this dress. I am excited very much !!!!!
Another great Black Panther cosplay crossover. I’m told it’s called the Sailor Milaje – which is a great team name. Sounds like something that I’d love to see in the Ready Player One world.
If anyone can tell me where this is from, I’ll gladly credit them and give a link to their source. I found this on the Facebook group I’m on and the title is all I was able to gather… for now. Update: Apparently, these fine ladies were at BlerdCon which was held at Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National Airport in Virginia.
I had my own fairy godmother this weekend at comic con. So magical.
I slowed the actual transformation down 200% so you can see just how brilliant it is… From the first sign of the ballgown to completely changed takes less than 3 seconds. That is some epic-level crafting.
@justhere4coffee thank you! Wanted it to be as quick a transformation as possible!
Programmable LED fans are the latest thing in cosplay technology. The price of admission is pretty steep though. At $400 per fan, it will cost a pretty penny to become a proper wizard.
If you are like Wong and believe attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual, buying these would contradict that philosophy. A cosplaying conundrum to be sure. Keep saving up those rupees I guess.
This AMAZING HUMAN knitted her ENTIRE Captain America cosplay!!!!
Naturally, she and I staged a Knitting vs. Crocheting fight. Needles vs. Hooks.
And yet fanfiction is an inherently transformative work which, by its very nature, strives to address or change some flaw that exists in canon, even if that flaw is “why isn’t there more of this thing?!” Fanfiction has addressed the lack of gay men by making straight characters gay; it’s addressed countless cultural misappropriations with wildly varying AUs; it’s addressed canon plot holes and timeline issues with fix-it fics and crossovers. Fanfic is the show your show could be like, if only you dared to dream.
But for all its transformative nature, fanfiction and fandom still suffer from a real dearth of femslash. Beyond the simple fact that very few girls exist in canon materials, the societal emphasis on the male gaze seems to have affected fanficcers’ creativity to such an extent that even in our own fantasies, we cannot give women a fair shake. Just as the answer to “Why is there so much slash?” cannot be boiled down to “ Well, straight girls are horny”, the answer to “Why isn’t there any femslash?” cannot be boiled down to “Well, straight girls don’t care.” The bias against female characters and female pleasure is an ingrained, institutionalized problem which won’t go away on its own.
