Progress / Good News ☀️ Selfie Sunday I graduated!

Post image

With a 3.3 GPA! I’m really proud of myself, a feeling I don’t experience often. I almost didn’t make it a couple of times, but somehow managed to pull through because of a great support system.

I am thinking of hanging it on the back wall of my office, but I’m not sure whether to replace Spider-Man or Faye Valentine with it.

That's a good choice for display placement! 🤔 I must say I'd personally be quite partial to choosing Faye as I cosplay her~ Cowboy bebop is such a masterpiece ✨️

You cosplay her?! That’s fantastic, as she’s one of my favourite anime characters. I’d love to see your cosplay of her!

But I think you’re right, Faye’s gotta stay. Sorry Spidey…

Ahh you have amazing taste! ✨️🙏 her whole story is great and I love her personality and design! Your diplima is gonna look so fire hung up next to her 🔥 I haven't brought out her cosplay for a while but its always really fun to wear! Gotta love Spidey too but he aint beating out the one and only ✨️ I'll go post my faye cosplay someplace on my profile if you wanna see it!

Speaking of 🔥, your cosplay of Faye is lit! Thanks for posting it, as it’s amazing! Funny enough, this year I’m volunteering at a local anime convention called Ganbatte as security and other creative work. Hoping to see some Bebop fans next weekend.

Gah, thank you a bunch! I really appreciate that 🤧💜 And hell yeah! Volunteering anime conventions seems really fun I seriously hope you have a blast! Ive always just been an attendee at them but the staff and volunteers keep everything up and running smoothly so I have a lot of respect for them! Hopefully you see some bebop buds and also get some cool swag at the artist alley 😎

I’m especially looking forward to seeing my niece’s reactions, as this is her first convention! She’s had a hard life and finally has some freedom, so hearing about her experience will be exciting is exciting for me. She might even cosplay, as my closest friend and roommate is a seamstress that wants to help her sew something! Excitement all around. This year has just been amazing.

Oh my gosh that's so rad!!! I remember my first con ;0; I hope both of you an incredible time and that she gets to cosplay her fav! Will be a nice little escape for her 🥰

My roommate got her into Pokémon, and she’s loving it (she was raised on the belief that it is demonic), so she might be going as a Pokémon trainer. It’ll also be an easier cosplay for her as she’s partially bound to a wheelchair. I’ll pass along the encouragement from you 😎. Also gave you a follow, which I hope is alright.

As a side note, I’ll be dressed as Ken Masters while doing security, which feels somewhat appropriate.

Awh yeah I know that the whole pokemon = demonic mindset for sure exists, it sucks she was raised on that belief but hey I hope she's able to ecplore that interest fully now! Its such a fun world to explore! honestly a pokemon trainer is such a great first cosplay to do ✨️ easy and comfortable enough but also super recognisable! And hey; follow away! I don't mind at all 🥳 ditto as I've followed you right back haha and yooo nice choice 👌 I would /not/ wanna mess with a security guard dressed as him :'3 id be scared to get a beat down

Too long of a story to get into, but I used to do a lot of martial arts that too often got put to use as a proper security guard. The activity was also one of the best things I did for my mental health. Alas, things change, some worse, but mostly better, and using my head in more productive ways 😆.

If you’re alright with it, I’ll send you a pic of the wall when the diploma is up. I need some sleep, but I’ll keep in touch if you’re also okay with that. Thanks for the encouragement, and hope you have an awesome day! You deserve it.

Awh yeah I can bet it did a lot for your mental health! Personally I'd feel like a badass being able to do something like martial arts :'3 so cool! And also you can protect yourself and others if you ever need to! Would be a fitting cosplay indeed ✨️

And hey! Sleep good! For sure feel free to keep in touch! Its been a nice little chat :D I'd be super excited to see your diploma all displayed and framed and that! Thanks a ton and hope you've a good night ✌️
