Because there is a theme of carnage and mutilation with Desert Bluffs, I had made this to go with my outfit for the Night Vale show, but while I took it with me it didn’t get showcased much. Mostly, this was because the pockets in the coat puffed out in a bad way with it … More Project: Zombie/Skin Coin Purse/Pouch
The thing that really appealed to me about doing a Desert Bluffs costume was the thought that if my friend was going to carry around a little hooded figure, I could have a StrexPet. For those not in the know, StrexPets are engineered, bio-mechanical pets made by StrexCorp, the shady company that buys Night Vale … More Project: StrexPet (Welcome To Night Vale)
I’m excited to be part of today’s cover reveal for a genre that I’ve always quite enjoyed – YA horror! And let me tell you, this title sounds exciting. There is literally so much going on in this book that I actually want to read it right now. Title: Spinner Author: Michael J Bowler To … More Cover Reveal: Spinner by Michael J. Bowler
The hooded figure that accompanied us to the Welcome to Night Vale live show was actually a Christmas present I’d made for my friend this past year. It’s ever proof that with some fleece, reference pictures, and imagination, you can really do anything. I ended up using fleece from Jo-Ann’s to do both the body … More Project: Plush Hooded Figure (Welcome to Night Vale)

To mix things up, I thought I’d talk a little bit about a project I did recently. The friend who introduced me to Welcome to Night Vale is also who I went to the live show with, and we decided that just showing up wouldn’t do. This is probably the closest I’ve ever gotten to … More Project: Desert Bluffs Outfit (Welcome to Night Vale)
It’s always cool when you get to experience something you’ve loved from the periphery up close and personal, and not too long ago I got to do just that. If you’re unfamiliar with the Welcome to Night Vale podcast, go listen. Listen right now. Start at the beginning and just lay back and enjoy the … More Inspirations: Welcome to Night Vale
It may seem weird suddenly coming out of the gate with this, but I’ve been fascinated by fandom and fanfic for a long time. I have many feelings on it, and those are all things I’ll probably get into later at some point. For now, though, I want to dive in and look at things … More Fanfic Friday: I Suck at Summaries You Guys
When I’m out and about, admittedly I’m not great at small talk. This is probably my only life failing, but there it is. I want to know about people, how they’re feeling that day, what they like, all that good stuff, not just “hey how are you?” “Eh, I’m fine.” Inevitably, when I actually get … More Only YA!? A Confused Rant
Typically The Lost Manuscripts is my tongue-in-cheek time where I share old childhood stories with terrible drawings, bits of the odd angst journal, something to that effect. This time, though, I’m actually going to be serious. I know, right? I mentioned in yesterday’s post the anthology project I had to do for my high school … More The Lost Manuscripts: Dropping the Mask and Exposing the Spirit
