I made a Magnus drawing to match my Merle one that I made a few months ago! I’m going to get them printed and, if I get the chance, give them to Travis and Clint at the NYCC TAZ event this Friday!
FWIW, these are the only two pics I have of my own costume. :\ So this one has Junior but ugh the light with my janky-ass phone camera, alas, and I don’t have any with my frankly VERY COOL staff. (This June was so sweet, and also: wooden Temporal Chalice, y’all.)
I’m going through my Seattle liveshow pics, and THIS ISTUS, Y’ALL. She knit this cloak/quilt, starting in June and finishing the night before the show. It was so gorgeous and thoughtful and just FUN.
Also, she and the Julia beside her in the first pic saw me from across the street in my costume and yelled “Lucretia!” like five times before I realized they were calling me. :D I asked if they were heading to the pre-show party and “what party?!” so I dragged them along.
(forgot to ask for any social media usernames, sorry)
Director:I don’t expect any gifts from you; I’m your employer, frankly that would be-
[Magnus hands her a coupon for one free backrub]
Director:This is exactlywhat I was afraid of. This is actually–Magnus, this is the nightmare scenario.
This wonderful Magnus Burnsides cosplayer actually surprised me with a coupon for “One Free Backrub” during the Saturday TAZ photoshoot! Their cosplay had the most charming details, and such cool armor!
(Although I did remember to give you my card, I forgot to ask your url, so if you happen to see this, let me know who you are and I’ll make sure to credit you here!)
This won’t be the last time it takes someone from you.
[image description: a three-panel comic. First is Taako, in profile, wearing a mongoose mask. He has a green wizard’s hat on and a long blonde braid down his back. He’s in front of a gray background, and next to him is written, “You know, I gotta ask. Why a mongoose?” The next panel is Taako in profile again, but this time he’s covering his mouth in horror, eyes wide and tears on his face. He’s wearing a chef’s hat and his hair is pulled into a ponytail. The background is red and the text next to him reads: “Because the mongoose has a specialized set of choline receptors that make it impervious to”. The last panel says “poison” in white on a black background.]
…and through cracks in the ceiling crawls a gigantic, literal black spider.
[image: a b&w drawing of Magic Brian, an elf with flowing long hair, standing with a wand raised in the air. A spell that looks a little bit like spider webbing trails out of the wand, up toward the hairy legs of a giant spider at the top of the frame. Brian is wearing long black robes with a white spider on the front and is smiling wildly.]
[image: a drawing of Lup from the back. She’s wearing a red jacket and black pants, and holding a folded red umbrella in front of her. Her long black hair is blowing in the wind, and “Back soon” is written over the top of the image.]
[image: an illustration of a cat that strongly resembles the Chesire Cat, lying down with his front paws crossed and a wide, sinister smile on his face. He’s surrounded by blue mist and wearing a wizard’s hat, with a little pin that reads “Fantasy Costco” on it.]
[image: an illustration of Lup from the waist up. She has light brown skin and short brown hair that’s longer on top. She’s wearing a red jacket and holding a large flame in one hand, which she’s looking at and smiling.]
[image: an animated illustration of Magnus, off-kilter as if he’s about to be knocked off his feet. There’s a bright spark in the center of his chest which he’s reaching up to grab, and light is shooting out of his back. He has a look of shock on his face and tears in his eyes. His form flickers and shifts slightly.]
[image: an illustration of Barry and Lup, holding hands and looking at each other. Barry has pale skin, glasses and brown hair. He’s shorter than Lup and chubby and is wearing a button-down shirt, a bowtie and black slacks. Lup has light brown skin and a bob haircut that’s brown at the roots and blonde at the tips. She’s wearing a long black gown. They’re standing in front of a white background covered in sheet music.]
[image: four images of Julia Burnsides from the shoulders up. She has an olive complexion and very curly brown hair. One image is face-on, her hair tied up in a bandanna and she has a small smile on her face. One image is her face in profile, her curly hair falling in tendrils down from the bun it’s in. One image is in profile again, her hair loose as she swings an axe over her head with muscular arms. In the last image, she’s looking off into the distance calmly.]
It was truly regrettable, if this really was the last loop…
[image: an illustration of Lup, an elf with light brown skin and blonde hair, slumped against the wall of a cave. She’s wearing a red robe and her exposed skin is covered in black veins. She has a pained expression. The outline of a red-robed skeleton is coming up out of her body, in the process of being sucked into the inverted umbrella at Lup’s side.]
[image: three illustrations. First is Magnus’ face. He’s holding his hands up, one grasping onto the other which is missing a finger. Small outlines of a hand and a clock wiggle in the center of the image. Second is of Merle’s face. He has an owl eyepatch on and is holding his wooden hand over most of his face. Outlines of two eyes and a question mark hover in the center. Third is of Taako’s face. He has a trail of blood coming out of his nose and mouth and looks very distressed. Outlines of a skull and a body hover in the center.]
[image: a b&w drawing of Killian, Carey and Noelle sitting on the floor. Carey, a dragonborn, is sitting cross-legged in the middle, weeping. Killian, an orc, and Noelle, a humanoid robot with a TV-like head, are trying to console her with concerned expressions.]
