Hiiii it’s been forever bc while I still adore naddpod I fell out of nearly every fandom over the summer so it took me a while to jump back into things- but!! I cosplayed Elzor for Halloween!! Eventually they will be a full cosplay with bodypaint and props and a plushy of Igneous, but I had a chemistry lab on Halloween so I had to be able to change out of this quickly lmao.
ID: a photo of James dressed as Princex Elzor from Not Another DnD Podcast. He is dressed in all black other than a grey cloak around his shoulders. He wears black pants, a turtleneck, gloves of crossed straps, a pair of wraparound sunglasses, long pointy ears, and a short white wig. He sits on a rock with a neutral expression, with autumn trees in the background. End ID.

Freckled, ferocious, and dangerously fertile ~🍄💋💖
I went to Anime North this weekend, last year was so fun I decided to come back, but this time I decided I should be cosplaying! So here I am in the nicest cosplay I've done in a long time: Moonshine Cybin, crick elf druid, queen of fungus and ambassador of decay (with her loyal possum Pawpaw :3)!!
The coolest part of this cosplay is the fact that my hat had LEDs I could turn on and it looked super rad at the Saturday rave B)
Also!! If you're the nice Barry Bluejeans I met (who was the only one that knew who my cosplay was lmao), I just wanna say hi! It was great to meet you ^^!

Hi!! I've seen other people make posts about why they love TAZ,,and I figured I should add my two cents. I also just wanted to share this experience somewhere. (Spoilers for Balance and Amnesty!!)
For a bit of background; in December/early January, I got dropped by some of my closest friends. I'd already been doing bad mentally for the last few months, and that sent me into a complete spiral.
I was quarantined, couldn't see my friends, couldn't leave the house, couldn't make any attempt at things that used to make me happy. I was (quite frankly) at my lowest point. I'd heard rumors of the Adventure Zone for years, and even seen content of it on my socials.
In mid May, I said fuck it and listened to episode one. MBMBAM (as good as it is) wasn't my cup of tea in podcasts, I needed something with plot. I knew the McElroys were a genre of entertainment I could get behind, but I needed plot to get invested.
TAZ Episode 3 was when I really became hooked. Magnus latched onto my heart, and Griffin's voice brought me a comfort I'd long forgotten.
Its important to note at this point in my life, I hadn't picked up a pencil to write or draw in almost six months.
I was honestly inspired to watch after a cosplayer I really admire began to cosplay Lup! I loved the personality I saw in her videos and photos of Lup, and I wanted to know more about her.
I listened to Here There Be Gerblins, and it made me smile. I listened to RockPort Limited, and I remember cleaning up my dresser and folding clothes when I found out Jenkins was the killer. I listened to Petals to the Metal, and I remember standing in my living room laughing during the whole Trent scene. I listened to Crystal Kingdom, I remembered standing in my yard in shock when Mangus sliced Merle's arm. I listened to Eleventh Hour, I remembered sitting in my chair and crying during the flashback and throwing my stuffed animal in rage at the Taako flashbacks. I remembered listening the Lunar Interlude where Lup carved her name in the wall and screaming joy at the introduction of the character who inspired to check this amazing show out. I remember playing Minecraft while listening to the Stolen Century (I was building a Ravenloft in my world!)
My favorite memory from listening to it though, was the scene Lup finally entered. I'd been listening to this podcast nonstop since I started. I remember listening to that scene and just *crying,* i remember clutching at my heart when her death was described because I'd fallen absolutely in love with her during Stolen Century.
I remember listening to Magnus' death scene while sitting at my kitchen table. My mom asked me why I was crying. "MAGNUS GOT HIS DOG!" Was all I could compute, she had no idea what I meant.
After i finished Balance, I started drawing again. It was simple, at first. Just a headshot of Lup with my favorite quote from her. But it was a start! I picked up my materials for the first time in months.
Then I started Amnesty. In minutes I was absolutely smitten. It was like Aubrey personally grabbed my hand and told me I was gonna be better soon. I latched onto Aubrey just like I did Magnus (Travis has always been my personal favorite brother.) I remember feeling guilty for skipping the last half of Commitment, but given my religion trauma that I was still processing at the time, I knew I needed to just role right along into Amnesty for my own sake.
My fondest memory of Amnesty was sitting in the car during a road trip and scribbling down things on my sketchbook.
Another prominent one was when Ned revealed to Aubrey he was the burglar. I fell to my knees when he said the sentence, and no I'm not being dramatic. I was cleaning up my room, and i collapsed onto the floor and laid in a fetal during the whole scene, ugly crying. I love all of the Amnesty characters, its my personal favorite campaign, and Ned and Aubrey meant everything to me. That scene *destroyed* me. I also remembered crying on my road trip when Ned was killed. I'd never felt so much emotion from a piece of media before.
After that I actually digested all of Balance. And the one character who's stuck out to me is Taako. And I know he's a cliche character to latch onto. But, its not his personality or his appearance or whatever that makes me love him. It was his back story. When I found Balance, I was working throufh the betrayal and loss of my fourth set of friends. I'm the kind of person who takes in people I know are toxic in hopes of helping them. And Taako was the perfect mix of myself, and the people I found myself befriending.
His history with Sazed hit close to home, in the betrayal aspect. And his betrayal by Lucretia. I understood his heart felt in those moments, and I latched onto him. I thought, "You understand how I feel right now." And I've *never* drawn so much in my life.
In just three days I made two whole pages of sketches, in just the last three weeks I've done ten pages of my brand new sketchvook (averaging it to 4-5 full drawings a page). I hadn't picked up a pen in months, and now I couldn't Put one down.
There was one night a couple days ago where I just sat in bed, grinning and crying while I looked at all the art I had accomplished, the countless pieces of writing I'd presented to my friends proudly. I rejoined roleplay groups, which I had also dropped after my mental health dropped. I came out to my IRLs as nonbinary!
The characters the McElroys created have given me this... This inspiration I've never felt before. I've hyperfixated on things before (like Undertale! That was my biggest.) But, no piece of media has ever made me feel like a character reached out of my screen and grabbed onto me.
I remember Istus telling the Gang the iconic line of "You're going to be amazing" and to me, it felt like Taako and Magnus just reached out of my phone and gave me a bear hug. Hell, just a few days I translated that feeling into a sketch.
I just bought the graphic novels, and have orders merchandize. I've *never* gotten into something, and had merchandize for it three weeks later. I've never loved something so much I sent my friends literally novellas of just me recounting my favorite scenes to them.
The Adventure Zone has literally brought the most joy into my life I could ever ask for out of media, its helped me in so many ways.
These stupid little DnD campaigns mean the absolute world to me, and I could never be happier that I found them when I did.
So, if you've read this far, there's one last thing I wanna say; even if you feel like you're at literal rock bottom, like you could end it all tomorrow and no one would care. That not even your greatest passionate with bring you joy, youll find something or someone that will pull you out of that point so fast it makes your head spin. In the emphamis words of "Zeke Owens" (Griffin) "One day, youre gonna laugh at a joke. You'll go swimming, and you'll smile in the sunlight. You're gonna pet yourself a good dog and its gonna feel amazing."

Okay LISTEN normally I refuse to post tiktoks on other platforms (especially since I barely use tiktok in the first place-) but I just HAVE to show off Zirk’s gun!!! The cylinder spins!!! It’s potion bottles!!!! Mashing a flintlock pistol and a revolver together irl was so hard to figure out so I’m so proud of this baby.
[ID: a video of James dressed as Zirk Vervain, wearing a silver wig with dyed ends, a black sleeveless turtleneck, a white button up shirt, a white smock with multicolored stains on it, a black waistband, pointed elf ears and tinted glasses. He lipsincs to a section of the song “Sugar Pills” by I Don’t Know How But They Found Me”. At one point, he raises a fake gun that has 6 potion bottles of various colors in place of bullets, and pushes the cylinder so that it rotated from the yellow bottle to the green bottle. End ID.]

You are so “positive fake”. You say you understand why people are mad yet never address the lgbtqia problem. No wonder since you aren’t in the community anyway. Stop pretending things are perfect your the reason the fandom is bad right now, it’s ok for us to be mad and hate the author. Fuck your fake happiness. Hope you stay in your depression until you realize what you do is wrong
Tumblr media
Alright, It took me a moment to answer this because the last sentence you said just broke my heart. Whatever our opinions are, wishing someone to stay in illness is just pure cruelty. We may agree to disagree, but this is going way too far and I think most of my friends here and irl would tell you the same. Please ask yourself why you needed to end your message that way.
Second, this is not fake positive. If you read my blog, you’ll see I post sad things to, I just actively decided not to engage in the fandom debate because I have a different opinion, and also because I don’t think adding my voice will bring something to the conversation. I do talk actively about the season 4 finale, just in private. 
In fact, today I will record a special episode of my podcast Fillorians United with Vanessa Zoltan from Harry Potter and the sacred text and one of our point of discussion will be how to conciliate your love of something while having a problematic author (for her, it is JK latest tweets). I wanted to bring that into the fandom later and hope this will make people heal a bit more. That’s my way of taking care of the fandom. Vanessa is really insightful and her word in private helped me feel better about how I handle The Magicians content, when I will publish the mini-episode, please listen to it. 
Third, I am not vocal about it but I AM in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am a biromantic asexual who is married to a bisexual transgender man. I do not see my sexual identity as my identity as some member of the community may have (i.e my husband is strong in Montreal Queer community and needed to find others like him, I do not carry that wish but respect his and, by being with him, meet a lot of people in the community as well.) I DO understand what you are going through. I DO read a lot about it. But does this mean your voice is more valid than mine?I don’t think so. I think the internet and this fandom is big enough for people to be mad and express it and have people that don’t feel as strongly as you and still want to enjoy doing gifset and writing fics without making it political. Both are ok. I hate seeing people getting angry at actors or lashing at the on twitter like they had a saying in what happened. 
People forgot that most of them learn the true finale 2 days before us and that their job is to act. If they defend the show they are in, most of it is because this is their secure job and they fight for it to stay alive. You don’t like this? Then stop watching instead of being mad at people that are simply the tools of what writers wrote. 
I also want to make a note for anyone that, as someone who studied Public Relation during a crisis, I would have recommended to Sera and John not to talk anymore because whatever they do or say will never be good enough for part of the fandom. Better for them not being attacked for everything they tweet and focusing on their job. They are in a hurricane and, right now, I don’t blame them to need to be in their safe house. When the storm will be calmer, I would tell them to go back on twitter. But right now, whatever they say will not be enough and will just put oil on fire. This is why I do not resent their silence. Even if I wish they’d talk, I understand why they don’t.
Tumblr media
Also anon, all of The Magicians isnt hurt and hating the show now. I want to show you how amazing this fandom is
Because of the fandom, my 2nd edition of The Magicians DND book on Kickstarter is 130% funded and If I get 1500$ will be able to afford to take off work for a whole month and work on it, but even if I get 3 weeks it is because fans were willing to give me a bit of their money to say “hey, what you do is cool and I want to encourage you.” In my wildest dream, I’d never believed this could happen. 
I see people doing cosplays and getting ready for ComicCon, encouraging each other, screaming when they see pictures. And I am here for it. I went in so many fandom that was taking apart everything a cosplayer didn’t do instead of adoring the hard work people put into it
There is AT LEAST 5 lets-keep-busy-during-the-hiatus project happening! From The Welter Challenge to a Big Bang to a Queliot or an Alice week! It is WONDERFUL to see that despite it all, some of us stay and don’t want the hiatus to means nothing happens here
people are SO fucking creative! I can’t keep up to ao3 anymore which is AMAZING! When I arrived in the fandom there were 15 fics at most. I see people doing pins and shirt and prints and fan art and gifset and analyzing the clothing and their meaning and I’m just....!!!! I think something becomes meaningful and bigger than itself the moment it makes people create. 
The fact that, while I write this, I have several tweets telling me that I am loved, defended and 98% of people here do not tolerate bullies. We do not gatekeep your ship, or your notp, or if you only participate by reblogging and not doing new stuff. A fan is a fan. But what we gatekeep is hate, is attacking people because you want them to feel as bad as you, is wishing someone depression
See. I was positive. Yet I didn’t talk about the season finale. Because there is 3 season and a half that I FUCKING adore, people that are worth praising and I decided to focus on that. 
Tumblr media
Lastly, my choice to be positive is harder than it looks. Sometimes I want to scream too. Or reblog rants. But I try to spin this into my creations and another way to make people smile, feel a bit better and heal. I said it and I will repeat it again, I started to adore Fen when I realized she made the choice of kindness.  And you see her struggle in season 3 because part of her want to cross her arm and let the bad things happen. But Julia reminds her, and me, that hurting doesn’t mean other people are hurt too,
This is why I will finish this with a word of wisdom; If the show hurt you so much that you want to hurt back, maybe its time for you to step away from the fandom for a moment, and ask yourself if it is worth making someone cry while being anonymously mean.

Hi April!
Coming in about a week late with this one but given how late my update for March was, I think it's okay. Hopefully, I'll be totally back on track in May. 🙂 In all honesty, March sucked. The money I was making doing house-sitting jobs and the like has finally run out and let me tell you what, I am not used to being broke. Although I did get to make a few trips, and even went to ToraCon for the first time (I wasn't in cosplay), overall it was kinda an exhausting time, and I'm ready to brush it behind me and look towards a brighter future. I haven't had a lot of luck with job searching in the area, but the issue is that I don't exactly know what I want to do. Originally, I wanted to work on Nana's place and get a job out there, making that the homestead. Its super pretty out there, really close to Watkins Glen, and in general just a really nice spot to live. (Also the mortgage is paid and we can't sell it for three years.) Its the perfect opportunity, but it needs a whole lot of work. May will make it a year since my Nana passed. Perhaps this gap we've had was what we needed. Maybe now that it's been a whole year we'll be able to work on it without getting bogged down with all the sadness. We're gonna miss her no matter what, but I don't want to let her place and her things just rot up there. I want, more than anything else, to give that home new life. I love that place and I'm not okay with letting it go.
So mom and I have been talking and for the summer, I'm going to look for a job in that area. Maybe one (or more) wineries would be interested in taking me, or maybe I could help out at Raven's Landing. (They offered me a potential job recording their psychic reading sessions in the past) Watkins has lots of job opportunities, and it would get me out of the house. It would also take me a bit of a distance from my friends, but if I have money for gas, I'm still willing to go down there once or twice a week. (And for the summer, maybe stealing one of them to stay with me)
No more progress on my room here. The reality of it is that there is just not enough space for all my stuff (Another reason why moving to Nana's place is a good idea.) The room is functional, but my desk leaves something to be desired. Perhaps once the move gets underway I graduate to a desk with drawers in it, rather than this table that I got for free when one of the cheap hotels in the area remodeled. In it's defense, its a very nice table and has served me very well, but it's absolutely a table, not a desk.
My DnD group is still going strong with the podcast, we have three sessions recorded now, and I have finished editing the first one. I think we are going to need to sit down though and really talk about what type of story we want to tell. We might end up starting over, if we all take the time to listen and evaluate the work we put in. I think we still have potential, we just need to be in better agreement about what our themes and ideals are for the story we are making. I haven't really worked on Divine Pacts in a while either. I have the first episode of that almost complete, but I'm missing one of the aux characters and a good opening theme that doesn't suck, so that will take some time. A lot of my free time has been spent making videos at church, working with their team there, and I've really enjoyed it. It's not something I can commit all my time to, but I'm definitely learning new skills that will help me, and being able to do that with my church family is really cool!
The medicine I'm on for my PCOS has caused my eating habits to be a little more iffy, it's really thrown off my stomach, but on the bright side, I've started losing weight. I've struggled with my body image for a long time - disliking being out of shape, and sometimes using not the greatest methods to fix that. I don't know if the fact that my stomach is off is the best method to help me lose weight, but it is making me more thoughtful about what I do eat, and my portions, so maybe it is a good thing. In any case, it's giving me the confidence boost I'm going to need to start going through my clothing. If I start renovating Nana's place, I'll obviously be moving my stuff in, so there will be some built-in clearing out of my belongings in the mean time anyways, which might also make it an easier feat. I just have... so many t-shirts. A really unnecessary number of t-shirts. For real. I also finally got a new band for my fitbit, so that's mack in action. Now I just need to commit to exercising at least once a day and meeting certain activity goals. I know I'm heading in the right direction regardless.
I haven't produced any more music but there's a new Mariana's Trench album out and I'm getting some very good ideas for some covers. And Camp Nanowrimo is happening this month, so I've been taking some time to set a writing goal for myself and finally type out my novel that I wrote... two summers ago? It wrote it all on lined paper, so I need to make it a word document before I can do anything else with it. I'm trying not to spend too much time editing it, but that's the struggle with being as critical of a writer as I can be. I've had a million iterations of this story swimming around in my mind for literally a decade. Putting it down, making it real, I want it to be everything that's made it important in my mind. That was a little flowery, but you get the idea. Its gonna be a real process.
I'm optimistic. I could argue that I have to be, that I need to look up and out and not dwell on where I'm at. But I mean it when I say it. Things will move where they need to move and I need to keep moving too, faithfully in whatever direction I am being lead. I think that staying in Watkins could give me breathing room, could give me a clear and current purpose. I think it would be good, and I could really get used to it. I'm optimistic. I'm growing, and it's finally spring!

What even is a “fashion geek”? (An Intro Post)
Alright, what even is a “fashion geek”?
     Glad you asked, my friend! You’ve given me a great segue into my blog’s introductory post. “Fashion geek” was a term I started using circa 2012 as a fun way to tag any fashion posts I reblogged to my personal account. It was meant to be a play on the term “fashion week” as well as a reference to the fact that my blog was predominately fandom-centric at the time. (No, it wasn’t a Superwholock blog, though there was some SWL content on there. No shame in admitting to it; I try not to subscribe to cringe culture.)      Of course, I can’t lay claim as the person who coined the term. I’m sure other lovely folx have used it way before me. All the proof I need is the fact that I had to throw an apostrophe into my username because “thefashiongeek” was already taken.      But to answer the actual question, a fashion geek is someone who follows designers switching houses or brand collaborations the same way others follow the latest comic team-ups. Someone who waits for fashion season like they’re waiting for the next season of their favorite show. Someone who is unabashedly enthusiastic about the world of fashion.      So, by definition…me.
…And who are you again?
     Ouch, burned by my own narrative device. Fair, though. You can call me Katie. My full name is a lot longer than that, but I’m gonna keep that on the DL for now. Gotta maintain that air of mystique, you know?      I’m a born and bred Manhattanite, dreaming of the day I make my triumphant return to my hometown. In the meantime, the college town life it is. I love traveling and visiting new museums. Dance, hiking, and bouldering are my favorite ways to keep active. Outside of fashion, my major hobbies are creative writing, costuming, and pretty much any other nerdy thing you can think of. No really; this past weekend I cosplayed a character from a DnD podcast to a renaissance faire. (Really earning my fashion geek title here.)      If you need further proof of my nerdy credentials, I graduated several years ago with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Geology. My original intention was to become a curator of invertebrate paleontology at a museum. Clearly, such is no longer the case.
How does a scientist wind up getting into fashion? No offense.
     None taken. And, honestly, I’ve been surrounded by it my whole life. Both of my parents are artists. My mom is an art restorer now, but she formerly worked as a runway stylist, a production designer - and even a model for a short time. She was probably the most influential in developing my love of the fashion world. To this day, I love to call her up and hear her opinion on recent collections I’ve loved or hated. (And I might have to liveblog a few of her reactions. She’s one of the funniest people I know.)      I also happen to have a lot of friends and family involved in the fashion business. Then there was the whole “growing up in a fashion capitol” thing. Even though I lived uptown, practically a world away from most of the shows of NYFW, it was nearly impossible to avoid. Our major newspaper had a fashion section. The Metropolitan Museum of Art was only a few blocks from our apartment and holds a special place in my family’s hearts - it was where my parents got engaged after all. During our monthly visits, I always insisted on visiting the Fashion Institute exhibition. I have vivid memories of their shows going as far back as the “Goddesses” exhibition.      The first time I took a real interest in my personal style was when I moved out to a rural town in the middle of seventh grade. Clothing became my way of holding onto my identity as a New Yorker and even inspired a bit of teenage rebellion. More recently, I wound up becoming more interested in fashion through writing, but that’s a post for another day. Long story short, combining my passions for writing and fashion was what inspired me to create this account in the first place.
So what’s this blog going to be?
     Well, for one thing, it’s not going to be a fashion blog. At least, not in the traditional sense. Don’t expect too many #ootd’s - not unless the outfit’s fabulous enough to overwhelm my own self-consciousness. Instead, this blog will focus more on fashion as a whole; opinions of recent seasons, trend reports, discussions about the industry, and so on. But I’ve opened up new Twitter and Instagram accounts under @heyfashiongeek if traditional-style blogging is more your thing.      My intention for this, um, blog is for it to be a kind of gateway into the world of fashion. So many people I know don’t want to get into fashion because it’s something that’s perceived as “frivolous” or “girly”. (I’m not going to get into it now, but trust I have a LOT to say about that one.) Others have avoided it because it seems inaccessible. In future posts, I plan to dispel these rumors and get readers as interested in fashion as I am. A lot of the articles (tentative term; bear with me while I figure things out, please) I have planned are introductions to different aspects of the industry, like the fashion season schedule and what qualifies as haute couture. And, if best comes to best, you’ll have a laugh or two along the way.      Some posts will be a little more personal, or could focus on current events. I might even attempt a video blog and I have a couple other surprises coming up. New articles will be published every other Sunday with daily queued reblogs in between. Once I figure out how to make satisfying fashion edits, I’ll start posting those too. In the future, I hope to post original content more often. For now, I’m just throwing things at a wall to see what sticks. Hopefully, I’ll find out along the way. Full disclosure; I have no clue what I’m doing here. With that being said, I can’t wait to get started!
