#mtg community

Long post is long! So GP Denver was a blast. I’m having so much fun attending GPs and I plan on going to many many more. A huge shout out to Cascade Games for being so welcoming and making sure I’m comfortable and having a good time. And thank you @wizardsmagic for making such a fun and creative game. Chandra is one of the few characters I cosplay who I really love and feel connected with. She is such a badass and I plan on wearing this cosplay for many many more events!!

And yes. That Pia Nalaar cosplayer is indeed my actual mother! She made it all herself in a week! So mad props to her on her first cosplay and GP! I’ll see if I can drag her to Vegas next ;)

Thanks for the love everyone. I’m moving this weekend so I’ll be busy but many exciting things are coming!’

Couple announcements…

I first want to say I’m extremely thankful for everyone who’s stuck around during this… now… 7 month? ordeal that started Right after ECCC. The dark skies are finally parting for some sunshine and me and my boyfriend are moving into our own place again come December 10th. Poor news on my birthday and great news the day after his haha. I purchased another webcam to get started on setting up a better streaming space and once that’s all done I’ll be scheduling regular streaming whether it be #cosplay progress or some gaming.

Once that gets started I’ll also be starting a patreon which I’m a little nervous about but I’m whole heatedly invested into making cosplay/costumes into a business and have already started a few small things with a prop maker friend, so trust me. Things are in the works, it’s just taking some time.

Don’t forget my shop is open and you can order the prints listed there! If you order now I’ll include some free mtg tokens as well! Hooray!

Lastly! I have been asked on occasion about if there are things I want. I don’t believe in asking for anything, but I know some people that’s just how they want to support someone, so I made a little wishlist on Amazon. All of the things listed are things to (mostly…) better my cosplay career/set up. I did not make my address public as I’m in the process of getting a PO Box, but you can always message me and I can give it to you. =)

OH. And if you’re in Denver this weekend for GPDEN then come find me and say hi! I’ll have some tokens with me there!

That is all and happy holiday season everyone!

Huge thanks to my friend Peter Roig Photography for a really fun photoshoot at Stan Lee’s Los Angeles Comic Con this past October. More to come, but here’s a first look! You can see me in this again at GP Denver.

Still my favorite cosplay to date. @wizardsmagic

This Thursday, April 7, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm PST (2:00 pm to 4:00 pm EST), if you’re interested in asking the Head Designer of Magic: The Gathering any questions, I’ll be here live to give hopefully educational and entertaining answers. I’ve had a blog on Tumblr (”Blogatog”) for the last four years during which I’ve answered over 64,000 questions. Let’s see if we can get it to 65,000. : )

Hey my fellow nerds!

I know a lot of us are REALLY excited for Maro’s live Question Time today, but let’s all try to remember that there will be a LOT of people asking questions who are new to Magic or don’t play at all. Let’s try and help them have a positive experience.

I mean, Mark is “the face of Magic,” but so are we! Today may be some people’s first or only glimpse at the MtG community. So let’s think a moment before criticizing questions or comments. Let’s focus on sharing and including, rather than correcting or scoffing.

And if you feel frustrated that Maro is answering too many “dumb” questions and ignoring your “brilliant” questions, please resist the urge to take out that frustration on the people asking the questions. They’re doing their best, and he’s still gonna be around every day for us.

So let’s have fun. And let’s show the rest of Tumblr the way we express our passion for Magic is by inviting everyone to come enjoy it with us.
