Let your cosplay run wild.
Total Fangirl
Sunday afternoon, Lisa is sitting at the kitchen table scrolling on her tablet through social media. A few friends open on her chat, when a small ad opens on the bottom corner reading "LARP Live Action Role Play". Raising an eyebrow, Lisa types in her group chat "What is LARP?"

The Ugly Truth of Being a POC Cosplayer
Cosplay has helped me make numerous friends at conventions, make memories, gained a moderate following on social media (specifically on TikTok), and allowed me to express myself. However, with the good, comes the bad. POC stands for person of color. It’s also known as non-white. These are cosplayers who dress up as characters who are not white. We’re often told by others that we’re either the wrong race or body type for a specific cosplay. The most common thing I’ve heard from people is “(insert character here) is not black.” I’ve been doing cosplay since 2014 and still love it. Unfortunately, I’ve occasionally been the target of racial and sometimes bigoted attacks towards me on social media because of two cosplays I love doing.

I Please Meet My Alter Ego: Vessa Ull Dottir`
Hello my friends, I would like to introduce you to my alter ego, Vessa Ull Dottir’. I am a Viking maiden, half-breed of god and man. You see the “Ull” is a Viking god of archery and Dottir’ means daughter. Like many people throughout the United States, I too participate in reenactment groups. I was a member with the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) for many years. My fellow geeks in history reside in this world and we all can be who we want to be. One event at a time.

Did I Just See What I Think I Saw?
Author's preface: This incident happened about three years ago. Since that time I have seen a few similar vehicles on various roadways around the country. Seems to be sort of a thing. None could compare to this, none have come even close.

Disney Halloween Looks 2021
'Tis the season to get spooky! Halloween has arrived once again - and it's honestly one of my favourite times of the year. Every year, I experiment with different make-up looks and pick out my favourites for the night out - and let's be honest we all need a good party this year as we are finally allowed out after Covid, so if I even remember going out this season - well , I didn't make up for lost time enough.

Star Trek: Discovery Haters Need to Get a Grip
I think I have some Trekkie street cred. My tiny, toddler butt was planted in front of the TV when Star Trek debuted in 1966, and since then I’ve seen every episode of every show multiple times. Same for the movies, even the J.J. Abrams alt-universe versions. I have two uniforms and attend conventions. To say I love the Star Trek universe is to understate the state of my world.

Elder Witch
Eldership, radical time in one’s life. One, at this period in their lives, find many ways to be genuinely themselves. The individual finds unique things that make them happy. I am so thankful that I am at this stage of life for I am finding many new things that brings me happiness. My children have grown and I have been blessed with a grandbaby and boy does he make me happy. Outside of my family, it is now time for me to shine and be happy the way I want to. Radical, loony perhaps, mayhem is possible, fun is likely and I make no apology for the decision I have made. As I adventure into my elder years I do so in freedom. I have been through much, became a warrior for my self-wellbeing, I have transformed in ways that I have no desire to share with you all. I have hidden my truths long enough and I am coming out at an Elder Witch.
