Hypecon 2025 Summary!

Image
 Hi everyone! Hypecon was held last weekend (7.-8-6) at Hyvinkää. I've never been to Hypecon before and Don is on Summer vacation, we decided to check it out, since I also had that weekend off. We left on Friday afternoon once I got off of work (I might have sneaked out a little earlier~) and my brother looked after our home and cat and drove us to and from the train station, biggest thanks to him! My cat wanted to come with I guess. :'D I cosplayed Aurora from Sleeping Beauty on Saturday, which fit very well the theme "Dreams". I didn't practice makeup at all prior, but I had a rough idea what I wanted it to look like and I think I did pretty ok! :3 Felt cute! The con was held in Hyvinkään Kaupungintalo plus some surrounding buildings. The outside area was huge and had some very pretty parks nearby. Next time I'll bring a picnic blanket!  Lil Hypecon flyer~ There were also these very useful maps around the con. Info Dealer's Hall/Artist's Alley was al...

Briar Rose

 Hi everyone! I've been working on something in silence for a while and would love to finally share here! (Been very silent even on my social media..) Summer convention season is getting closer, so it's now or never to start making costumes! The first one for this Summer for me is Briar Rose, or Aurora from Sleeping Beauty! Yes! My first Disney cosplay!  There are many reasons for this character specifically, the original idea came while playing Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Always wanted to cosplay a Disney princess at some point so I raided my fabric stash and surprise surprise! I have something I can finally put to use. Also Don calls me "Prinsessa Ruusunen" (finnish version of Sleeping Beauty) since I'm a heavy sleeper and always tired, so there's that too. He chuckled while I was making this.  So cute! ~𝆕 I love her princess gown (has been one of my favorites since I was a kid!), but right now I don't have fabrics for a pink or blue one (or money to...

Hypecon 2025 Cosplay Lineup

Image
 Hi everyone! Hypecon is this weekend already! We didn't get lucky with Desucon tickets (not that I mind, I have work that weekend anyway), so June is pretty empty con-wise. Don is on his Summer vacation and Hypecon weekend happens to be off for me, so we decided to go check it out. The theme is "Dreams", so I think this cosplay works perfectly. Saturday Aurora - Sleeping Beauty Yes! My first Disney cosplay I've been working on in silence. All the fabrics are from my stash/recycled cosplay parts, so I didn't need to buy anything new! :3  Can't wait for Hypecon! I've heard so many good things about it. I'm so happy with my cosplay too, can't wait to wear it! 🌹

Kemin Mangapäivät 2025 Summary!

Image
 Hi everyone! Kemin Mangapäivät made a comeback this year, which was more than welcome! This was also the first time I judged a cosplay competition! :3 Mangapäivä was held 8th of March at Kemin Kulttuurikeskus. I know I'm late for this Summary and I don't remember much at this point, but you can read more comperehensive summaries from Firith's blog and Shiro Samurai's blog . Event flayers I woke up somewhat early since I agreed to pick up a friend from Tornio before heading to Kulttuurikeskus. I was little tired, but still decided to cosplay Fern from Frieren, which was a good choice for the amount of walking/running around I did. Pallopää The day was busy and all I can remember is running around and following Firith, waiting for orders and overall trying to help as much as I could. Don accompanied me in the morning/early day, but mostly he was chilling around and supporting artist's by buying prints and other cool stuff. :'3 He also had a Naruto-themed pastry ...
