the future is the way of that
I just wanted to do a check in of how I feel about using this site more regularly for 3 months since June of this year, and what the future holds for starsbegantofall.com. I originally bought this site in 2020 because of Kiriska‘s very compelling articles about stepping back from social media and having your …
I still haven’t figured out how I want to post about my fanarts, I already add a description when I upload the artwork because that’s what WordPress makes you do for the portfolio. (Not that I really claim all of these artworks as portfolio worthy.) But should I post about the art again in the …
I attended the Windblume Festival in Frisco, Texas this past weekend and as it was a second year con, decided to write up a report in case anyone else is interested attending in the future. I debated making a con report since they tend to be personal and not professional, so I just left out …
Hi Barbie! I made a 4 second video clip of myself in 5 different Barbie outfits inspired by the 2023 movie that released recently. Even though it was only 4 seconds long, it took hours to film and edit lol. I didn’t buy any new stuff specifically to wear for the movie, just tried to …
Here is fanart of my specialest boy, Ramza Beoulve, protagonist of Final Fantasy Tactics. It was one of the first Japanese RPGs I played on the Playstation and I still think of it fondly. I also cosplayed Ramza’s squire outfit here as one of my first cosplays. If you want to read my FF Tactics …
I bought this Metamorphose Temps de Fille Jewel Leopard low-waist jumperskirt after it came out in 2015, just as I was about to reenter lolita fashion after a hiatus. The side zipper broke as I was putting it on at a convention for the first time so I ended up never wearing this dress. I …
The last of my ultimate cosplay goals, a Sakizo cosplay, let’s talk about it! For those of you who don’t know, Sakizo is an illustrator from Japan (website: http://sakizo.jp/) who has collaborated with lolita fashion designers to make dresses and other accessories, but also creates their own artbooks and calendars and stationery with gorgeously detailed …
As mentioned several times before, I was not able to figure out how to easily migrate my past blogger/wordpress entries over to this domain for archiving and I think maybe it’s not worth it because some of those entries were from another era over 10 years ago and they were rough and mayhaps even cringe, …
I didn’t get around to finishing a monthly piece of art for June this year. I want to make the excuse of working on two costumes for summer cons but honestly, I couldn’t muster the focus to draw anything after work. Here is the usual midnight sketch this time in a moleskin mini sketchbook I …
I wanted to start posting long-form content on this blog for archival purposes rather than social media, and which better than my latest cosplay from the game Genshin Impact, Xinyan! Xinyan is a punk rock musician from Liyue and her costume is relatively simple compared to other Liyue characters, but still has a lot of …
