🗡️ LVL 36 USA West Coast Cosplayer 🏹 Current WIP: Repairs and updates 🛡️ Cosplay Build Threads https://linktr.ee/brownmanticorehttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3mbfgtbm4ec24I've decided to take a social media break. I'm not sure of the length just yet, but I'm aiming for 3-12 months. SM feels like a chore right now, the main reason for the hiatus. I did decide however that I'll be deleting my Bluesky permanently. While lovely, BS just isn't for me.01 Jan 2026 22:34 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbfgtbm4ec24https://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3mbe6idinlc2hHappy new year!

And for ribbons? Hoping maybe if I can make either I'll be more social at cons lol.22 Dec 2025 19:40 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3malyhlo5x22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3majkhxoznc2xHappy holidays everyone. I know this year has been rough, so I'm wishing a good, festive season to everyone.21 Dec 2025 20:25 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3majkhxoznc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m7y4ehbq5s252025 sucked for many of us and while I worry, I certainly hope it gets better. I didn't get a lot made this year, just one full cosplay and a few side projects. I'm hoping next year I can craft more AND enter horse shows! My 2025 accomplishments and my 2026 goals!14 Dec 2025 21:57 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7y4ehbq5s25https://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m7t5qc7y7k2zWhen someone walks into your shoe-free craft room, steps directly onto your photo area rug, and then smears mud into said rug as they take off their shoes. It was already a frustrating day, this didn't need to happen.12 Dec 2025 22:38 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7t5qc7y7k2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m7gxhnzhkk2mI can't remember if I posted that she was done or not but tada! My sand seal! I made her a vest to go with and it's a little silly but I wanted her to look as much like an NPC as my Gerudo lady. #botw #totk #gerudo #sandseal #cosplay #prop08 Dec 2025 02:14 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7gxhnzhkk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m6x7ezzbf22dAsking someone "have you considered 3d printing that" about a prop they hand made is... actually not okay.01 Dec 2025 19:53 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6x7ezzbf22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m6ql6eacwc2kJust finished Digimon: Time Stranger and I can say a) best Digimon game I've personally played and b) while not the best jrpg I sure had a lot of fun. I've never been the most dedicated Digimon fan but I really love the designs and had so much fun discovering new Digimon.29 Nov 2025 04:36 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6ql6eacwc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m6qkzuzx6k2k#bmcsandseal #cosplay #botw #totk #oc [contains quote post or other embedded content]29 Nov 2025 04:33 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6qkzuzx6k2khttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m6hyqcadus2oI feel obligated to share this here as well (Was testing eye sizes with googly eyes and I want to make this my new av lol)25 Nov 2025 18:44 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6hyqcadus2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m63r3marzs2tCan't post my long winded ramble about this so: -Thank you Kira! -I'm so excited about my updates for this cosplay, because I think it's pretty cute and it's gunna be even better! -I think I look like I'm ready to be a Zelda OC!

I'm thinking of Neewer panel lights as I've heard those are good, especially if I can get some that attach to booms so I can place them over my work area. But recs would be highly welcome.13 Nov 2025 21:58 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5k5y4f63s2shttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m45a5csm322sGiving serious thought to taking a year off from social media. It would kinda break my heart because I love seeing my mutuals and their work. Some folks I would miss talking to, celebrating for, etc. Not having access to photographer and con updates would also be a little tough.27 Oct 2025 01:07 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m45a5csm322shttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m44kx3umhc2sI'm bummed out, had to cancel a shoot with the fall leaves in Portland. Our area is just kinda... scrub trees? They don't really change color. So finding a place to shoot fall themes that's actually pretty is tough.26 Oct 2025 18:48 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m44kx3umhc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/brown-manticore.bsky.social/post/3m3b6qdi7a22oWhen someone says "why don't you show me your projects?!" and when you do they go, "oh... that's nice," in *that* specific tone of voice.

Especially if you planned to compete with the costume? I had a plan but I'm curious. #cosplayhelp #cosplay09 Oct 2025 19:19 +0000at://did:plc:kyi2f3rd2so7p77fqhs3tz6g/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2ruqh5umk2y
