Raven & Goro's Japanese Wedding
the 1st screenshot is them at the Temizuya where they cleanse there hands and mouth to purify themselves
I couldn't figure out how to get a shot of them offering the Sakaki (this is offering a branch from the sacred tree to the gods usually food and Saki are also offered)
I also couldn't get a shot of them during the Sansankudo
Sake drinking or sansankudo = Three three nine times is the literal translation of sansankudo. An integral part of a Shinto wedding ceremony involving drinking sake The physical act involves three cups, one small, one medium and one larger. The sake is poured from a special vessel that looks like a teapot. Each cup is poured in three increments. The groom sips three times from the small cup first, the bride follows. The bride then sips from the medium cup three times and the groom follows.
then there vows and of course Goro kissing his new bride though that bit I added myself I'm unsure if they kiss there brides like in a western wedding.
"Hai, Chikaimasu." = I promise (basicaly this is like saying I do) this is in reference to there wedding vows.
Ravens kimono would be referred to as a shiromuku (this is a pure white silk kimono) and Goro's that I photoshopped is referred to as a Montsuki (this is a formal black kimono with white inner layers usually 5 layers in total, the family crest on his shoulders is the Kanji for Bamboo (Takemura) and the Kanji for Feather nestled inside representing Raven. I took some liberty here, as they decided to make there own family crest. normally this crest would of been Goro's family crest but in my story I've gone with him not having a family crest due to coming from a poor background and Raven suggesting they make there own, in a sweet moment between them
please if I have got anything wrong let me know, I did alot of research into tradition Japanese weddings so if I have misinterpreted or got something the wrong way round or translated anything wrong do correct me in the comments

Part 2 of my cosplay breakdown - Zagreus' skull belt
(Full process under read more)
[Skull pauldron] [Belt] [Greaves] [Toga + sash] [Wig + Laurels] [Armbands] [Flaming feet] [Satyr Sack] [Stygius v1] [Stygius v2] [Nectar]
Thankfully this one was a lot simpler than the skulls. My main issue was once again comparing inconsistent official art and trying to figure out what approach I wanted to take. I ended up with this pattern, with skulls at the front and a flat back.
I also had to consider how I was going to put it on and take if off, and went for a hidden buckle clip to make things easy. The strap was threaded through a white loop of material that I would later hot glue to the belt so it would be able to be adjusted if needed in the future, and to have a more uniform appearance. Unfortunately it turns out I didn't take any photos of this process but you can see how it looks attached here.
Back to foam work! After cutting out the base pattern and heat shaping it to have a slight curve, I cut out the circles for the skull bases, and and additional top half for depth. I should have dremelled these sections separately but instead contact cemented them together after heat shaping and had to be very careful with those teeth and eye sockets so I didn't dig into the base.
After attaching the flat backing piece and the skulls, using a bit of foam clay to fix up mistakes and add some detail/depth, and hot gluing the actual belt section, it was time to plastidip the whole thing. You can also see where I added some velcro to the opening side to better hide the opening and make the belt look like one solid piece. I over-sprayed way too much when using the plastidip, but it ended up with a lovely smooth finish.
Then time to paint. I added some very dramatic shadows before bringing it all back with several layers of off-white blending into the darker colours. Once all the 'bone' sections were done I gave it a coat of the same matte spray that I used for my skull pauldrons, and then finished it off with another layer on the gold details so they'd stay nice and shiny.
The belt may actually be my favourite part of this cosplay, not because it's impressive, but becuase i turned out exactly how I wanted! It wasn't super tricky to make, and it's so easy to take on and off (and with the nightmare that was getting that toga sitting right I had to do that many times)

Since I've found you
I have lost myself
Even I want to say something
What should I say to you ?
There is no language
Where there are those words
In which I can describe you
If I say that no one is more beautiful
Than you in this universe
Than even this praise is nothing but truth
your grace is drowned in your playfulness
is showing in your face
the thick strands of your hair
are resting in your face with pride
the flowing scarf is like a cloud
it's like moonlight is in your arms
if I say that you're my soul mate
Are you a angel or fairy?
Then even this paise
is nothing but truth.
Since I found you
I have lost myself

Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showin' off
Drivin' too fast, moon is breakin' through her hair
She's headin' for somethin' that she won't forget
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants
We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you
Chasing it tonight, doubts are runnin' 'round her head
He's waitin', hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beatin' loud and she doesn't want it to stop
Movin' too fast, moon is lightin' up her skin
She's fallin', doesn't even know it yet
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants
We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you
Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missin' piece of innocence she lost
We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you

In each life,
in each life please stay with me
Just like this
Promise me to meet me here every time
We have two bodies
but we are from one soul
Always be mine,
Never say goodbye
You are my morning and
You are my evening
You are pain
and you are relief
I have only one wish
Always be mine
Never say goodbye
My both worlds are In your arms
Wherever you reside
my heaven is there
This flame is burning in both sides
I pray this flame will never go out
You are my desire, am your love
You are my poems, am your music
Desire, desire, desire only of you
Keep flowing in my vain like a intoxication
Return the favor of my love like this
Always be mine,
Never say goodbye….
This pile is giving me Twinfalme vibes

Look how innocent she is
But she's as cunning as she seems innocent
She talks bitter
Still she is so sweet
Like a rose flavored perfume
Like a bottle of alcohol
She's like a scene of total distribution
Her style is very funky
She is a dramatist
This girl is a big drama queen
She has big eyes and she's like a well of tears
She hits the table as she sings
She Climbs on the chair
She does what her heart desires
Think of this as a cause if intoxication
Or the signs of her craziness
Like a rose scented perfume
Like a bottle of alcohol
With her pair of eyes
She shoots bullets every now and then
Why doesn't she kill me with just one blow
With a Garland of pearls
I chant your name
You're worth a million
Your body is like gold
But you are mean from heart

I need a lover to keep me sane
Pull me from hell, bring me back again
Play me the classics
Something romantic
Give him my all when I don't even have it
I always dreamed of a solemn face
Someone who feels like a holiday
But now I'm in pieces
Barely believing
Starting to think that I've lost all feeling
You came out the blue on a rainy night
No lie
I'll tell you how I almost died
While you're bringing me back to life
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word "forever"
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
You're my angel
Angel baby, angel
You're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby
I fall in love with the little things
Counting the tattoos on your skin
Tell me a secret
And baby, I'll keep it
And maybe we could play house for the weekend
You came out the blue on a rainy night
No lie
I'll tell you how I almost died
While you're bringing me back to life
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word "forever"
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
You're my angel
Angel baby, angel
You're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby
All the sick and twisted nights that I've been waiting for ya
They were worth it all along, yeah
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word "forever" (on the word "forever")
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
You're my angel
Angel baby, angel
You're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby
