Title: Disciples II - Banshee By Reki-Konran

The border between Norway & Sweden. This snowy route is perfect for snowmobilers. But this group are quite literally treading on a thin line - because to their right is Norway where riding a snowmobile for fun is illegal while to their left is Sweden where it is allowed. Strict laws in Norway mean unless it is work related, riding snowmobiles is against the law. 

But photographer Havard Dalgrav, 25, and his friends were undeterred by the risk of ending up on the wrong side of the law and travelled four hours to the border to capture these stunning shots. (Source)

Hey tumblr, let’s talk about practice and improvement! 

I’ve never really posted my really old cosplays because I started back in the day when I used a disposable camera at cons. I don’t really have pictures of me in my old costumes. But! I recently obtained some old bins from my dad’s basement, and lo and behold: old costumes!

I picked one that is fairly comparable in general style to my most recently photographed project. On top, you can see an ancient relic of about 9 years ago. This was before I had a sewing machine, so the entire thing is hand sewn. (Protip: handsewing literally everything makes you an incredibly fast handsewer. I’m one of the speediest stitchers I know to this day.) Anyways, it’s a shapeless sack with safety pinned ribbons for straps, made of terrible cheap satin, and by my current standards is an absolute trainwreck. But I was so proud of it back then! I had fun wearing it and felt cute. At that point, I had no idea that this would eventually be my career. I was just doing it for fun! And that was valid. 

But I decided that I liked sewing so much that I was going to keep at it. I got a Singer Simple for christmas one year (despite my protestations: sewing machines scared me and I looooove handsewing), learned to use it, and continued sewing in full force. I decided to go to school for costuming, kept cosplaying, and CONSTANTLY working. 

There are rarely days that I do not sew. It’s both my job and my hobby. This is almost a decade of constant work and improvement. I am not inherently talented. I did start out with good fine motor skills (shout out to my mom for encouraging my clay addiction when I was little) and a good grasp of three dimensional problem solving, but those skills are only any use because I practiced them and built upon whatever “talent” I already had. 

Improvement is possible! Take this message to heart, baby cosplayers and costumers! <3

Ha know, I used to like Undertale until I came across Undyne the Undying.
