Sometimes you gotta take some random pictures in the woods in your Pokémon t-shirt, because the vivid hair color is all you need to make a stunning shot 😍

Happy birthday to this absolutely beautiful soul 🎉.

Court, I'm so happy to have you in my life ✨. It sucks to be living on the other side of the world from you and not being able to show up to your door with a bunch of gifts. So I'll just spam you on social media instead 😜 LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU MUAH 😘 Cheers to stars know how many years, ya old hag 🥂

All edits made by yours truly ✌🏼

Oh hey, I found some more photos from this shoot in my camera roll. I really loved building this set. And yes, it became a Valentine's Day shoot, but originally I just wanted to shoot with this dress that I thrifted. I should do things like this more often, this felt good, this felt right. I do miss cosplays too, but they take so much time and money that I just can't keep up 😅

I've got to admit to a little something...

The spark is gone. I just don't really feel like cosplaying anymore. All the work (and money) that goes into it and no one to share the joy with because I'm not a big account. "you shouldn't be in it for the likes!" yes, I hear you, and I'm not in it for the likes. But the enthusiasm that I used to feel, the pride I used to have in my work, it's gone. And at the end of the day, when there's no likes and comments... Well... Why would I put myself through the work if I'm not enjoying it?

And don't get me wrong. I'm not gone completely. Not falling off the face of the Earth. Just readjusting.
I've met some truly wonderful people on here (you know who you are) and I would have that without cosplay. But the focus is gonna be more on creative photography and original characters than cosplay from books and other media.

I'm not doing it for the likes, I'm doing it for me. And the way I'm gonna do that is by not forcing content. Yes, I'll still cosplay from media when I feel like it. Yes, I'll do elaborate photoshoots if I want to. But I'm not gonna be a machine that pumps out content every single week. I can't keep up with the algorithm and I don't want to.

If you've read all this way you deserve a sticker and I love you. Stay true to yourself ✌🏼

I can't even express how much joy I've felt doing and then editing this valentine photoshoot. I've not shot a new cosplay or done any creative photography for so long, it's good to be sorta back.

Oh yeah no, don't mind me, I'm just remembering that I had more photos from this shoot that I hadn't posted yet 😂

And now I'm hungry 🤤 🧁
