[Well, That’s A Bloody Big Ship.]

Merry Christmas!

Hey, THANK YOU so sooo much for the moon badges!! I'd say you have no idea how happy that made me, but I have a strong suspicion you might know after all x') I hope you had a wonderful christmas too!!

And ... I have a little something for you too. You gave me the moon, so here is a moon for you and for everyone!

That's the place where I live. Looks cute from up there, doesn't it? When I look out of my room's window, I can see up to the exact place I stood when I was taking this photo.

It's nice to see things from a different angle from time to time.

if you don't mind me asking, can I ask where you got your Saix/Isa wig from? I'm making an Isa costume, and I'm really having a hard time finding a good base wig, and your wig looks really great. = ) Sorry to bother you, hope you have a great day!

Why, thank you very much, Anon! :) I'm glad you think so!

I assure you though, the wig I used is not a good base wig. It actually took a lot of determination and desperation to finish it.I bought this wig on ebay (http://www.ebay.at/itm/Neu-lange-Eis-Blau-cosplay-Party-Perucken-100CM-/300828350059?pt=DE_Beauty_Haarpflege_Haarpflege&hash=item460ac4566b that should be it, at least it should be one of the same kind, I bought mine actually two years ago (and gave up on it at first))It does not have any skin top, which was terrible on one hand, but good on the other because it allowed me to sew all the cut off excessive hair on it again. Exactly where I needed it. Still this wig doesn't have much hair so always checking that the hair net doesn't show is quite a pain. And it never did what I wanted, the only way to tame it was tons and tons of hairspray. (working on it with a hair dryer didn't have much effect, really.)

So if your not afraid of suffering working on it a lot, then well, that's it. Even though, I guess, if you're willing to put that much effort in it, you could use any other wig as well.

I did buy another wig for Saix/Isa as well, from plastikhaar.eu. They have really really really good wigs. This one has at least double as much hair and a huge (real) skin top and even the hairline is perfect, so it's possible to just lay the hair back without the net showing. And the fibre itself is way better as well.But those wigs are really expensive and the shipping costs even more (except if your living in Germany, which I am not and you're probably neither.) If you're living in Europe you could consider it though.I bought this one http://www.plastikhaar.eu/Mariko-Neon-Blue_1 by the way. Unfortunately they don't offer a better color. For my taste it's way to bright (it really is neon. It's even brighter in real than on the picture), which is why I am going to dye a light shade of violet over it to mute it a bit. I didn't start styling it though, otherwise I could show you pictures.

Well... I have no idea, if this helps you even one bit and I am very sorry if not. :/

Me and my sisters finally finished our DMMD cosplays at least far enough to wear them. :D Still unfinished, still a lot to change, but NyanCon was A LOT of fun anyway.

AKUSAIMONTH: BERSERK Day 7: SET C - “Explosion”

I saw him coming.
 Never before had I seen anything like what he held in his hands, but I didn’t need to to know it was dangerous, that he was dangerous. 
I shouted out to you, reached for you in order to push you out of his way, but you grabbed me instead and held on to me. I don’t even know if that’s what you were planning to do, but you acted as a shield to me, the last thing I would have ever wished for.

I won’t ever be able to forget the pain I saw in your eyes as you disappeared without another word.

"At Last"

It's Koujaku's birthday (August 19)!!! To celebrate I decided to finish this drawing / colour experiment from May! The colours are heavily inspired by one of my favourite Magic the Gathering illustration: "Dueling Rapier" by Anna Podedworna. Although I ended up using them a little different, ehehe...

AkuSaiMonth 2022: July 8 - August 7

Welcome to AkuSaiMonth! A month of celebrating AkuSai & LeaIsa! It's been a hard two years, but at least ASM is back, this time with a new host (and with permission of the original creator)!

AkuSaiMonth 2022 Bingo

Similar to 2015, we will be playing bingo again, but this time with a twist: The bingo cards are randomized! Every participant will have their prompts in 1 of 30 different arrangements!

Where can I get the Bingo Card?

To claim your personal AkuSaiMonth 2022 Bingo card, click >> HERE! << Using the link on the same device and browser should (in theory) always lead to the same card. However, I would strongly recommend also saving the card by either using the print button on top or by making a screenshot.

Screenreader friendly bingo cards are available here: LINK. These are not randomized unfortunately, but you can still pick one (of three) at random! Please let me know if you run into any problems!

See the end of the post for a plain text list of the prompts in alphabetical order.

And here is one example Bingo card: You can use this one as well of course, but give the randomized cards a chance!

[ID in alt]

How does it work?

The goal is to get one "Bingo!" during the month (Jul 7 – Aug 8) by filling 5 prompts in a row, column or diagonal. 

This could mean one post every week, for example:

Post 1: Friday, July 8 (IsaLea Day)

Post 2: Saturday, July 16

Post 3: Saturday, July 23

Post 4: Sunday, July 31

Post 5: Sunday, August 7 (AkuSai Day) -> Bingo! <3

You are of course allowed to do less than five prompts (one is perfectly fine! <3) or even fill out the entire bingo card (I wish I had your time management skills)!

Rules:
