cosplayer and simp extraordinaire

My last Silco of the year. Used @ziggycosplay for reference! No background though, oop Thank you to everyone who has loved and shared my work this year, I appreciate all of you! And thank you to the friends I've made along the way, all because of this fictional man. ♡

Closeups under the cut!

from Astrid & Silco

Have you ever loved a fic and its OC so much that you cosplayed from it; organized a secret shoot during a convention; enlisted your friends to do lighting and take photos; and designed a Christmas card in InDesign for it? Well I certainly have.

@ink-and-dagger is the reason any of my multi-chapter fics exist. "Drink With Me" inspired me to go for it, knowing the challenges I'd face. And while not all of my fics are done, I know that I will eventually be able to because I've done it before. All because I took that first step. And all because of Inky.

Thanks to partner-in-crime @ziggycosplay for agreeing to squeeze this shoot in during our busy Anime Frontier schedules and for being an AMAZING Silco and just a REALLY COOL person. She blended so easily with my friends and I couldn't ask for a better shippy photo partner.

Seasons Greetings to you all

Now, we know we’ve been sorta quiet for a while, and we’re sorry about that.

Astrid is sorry. I feel no remorse for focusing on other responsibilities.

Okay I’m sorry then 🙄 But we wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all happy festivities

And a prosperous new year

And super quickly here’s some photos that Jinx took—I only agreed to take those for your personal enjoyment—enjoy them quickly before he makes me take them down okay bye!! X

Insanely thankful to @silcoitus and @ziggycosplay for these incredible pictures. Literally couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when they sent them - you honestly made my day 😭💜💜💜 Please go and show these two hotties🔥 some big love

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.
