Since Santa knows when we're sleeping and awake and if we've been bad or good, think he might be buying our data from Facebook? Looooooooool I'm tired Using the home stretch of 2019 to get ready for a great 2020. Maybe not the great comeback story, but I'm gonna do great stuff and have fun while I'm at it. Ready?

Don't mean to spam the same event over and over, but I found this pic of a teeny Elena running in to hug me 😭🥰😭

Ya girl Rapunzel did the annual Foster Program Hawaii holiday party, one of the highlights of my volunteer year! I do need to bite the bullet on a new wig though. They're pricey but should hold up better than this one 🙃

Hey you guyyyyyyys Time for some real talk! Ready? Hope so. I was texting with one of my industry friends "M" yesterday about an upcoming con, and he said that a fan had told him that they had contacted me about getting "M" back as a guest, but I'm unreliable. I was really hurt that someone said that for a few reasons. 1. I AM NOT A CONVENTION STAFFER. I am in no way paid by conventions. Contacting me to get help with a guest, or anything for that matter, will not help. The best thing you can do, and there's info about this all over the internet, is to tell the con YOURSELF. As a paying attendee, you have more sway than me. 2. It's insanely difficult for me to filter through the dozens and dozens of spammy, pointless, bot, and other messages I get every day. This is why I don't even check DMs half the time except for my business email- and why you shouldn't get offended when your faves don't reply to your "hi how are you" messages. 3. I have a full time job and persistent depressive disorder. Functioning is hard enough and I do still struggle to make ends meet. Expecting me to dedicate my free time to working for cons/you for free is a little unfair. You know what I and other cosplayers do offer? A safe space and a friendly face at cons A fellow nerd to geek out with about all things fandom Information and help whenever we can on your cosplays Entertainment value And a lot more! I enjoy what I do, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it after over ten years. But keep your standards realistic, okay? I'm only one girl with a lot on her plate. Love you. Mean it. I'm glad you're here.

Thanks to one of my besties Noe, I was able to get this fabric tail that's designed after, and how on-brand is this, the flying fish?!?!!!?!!!!! So happy, and you can't get any more *Leah* Thanks for the fun day and taking my picture, Allie!! (She doesn't look at my page so idk why I even bothered lol)

We were playing with AI facial recognition at work and then this happened! You know, it should have been harder to get me, a middle aged Japanese engineer, and a mannequin head to all read as looking like Kate Mulgrew, but... okay.

I wore Mera to the Chinatown event because my original dress was arguing with me and I couldn't find anything that I was otherwise planning on. But whatever, was comfy and got a few compliments and I got to carry around my trident to poke people with. Also aren't Christy and Allie cute?!?

Oh my god, the levels of nostalgia! Can you believe that Kawaii Kon and I have been bros for like... what, 6 or 7 years all told? Also points for my Homura from Madoka Magica cosplay. Wish I had done a real shoot but meh that's okay.

I was going to tell you guys that you can buy this Westworld Dolores costume for $80 shipped, but it doesn't look like anything to me. ~Eyebrow waggle~

Last year I made a new best friend (her words)! I really like being able to just hang out with little fishes sometimes- no party, no money, just hanging out with a kid that needs a little magic. Weird what these crazy hobbies can lead to. Tell me about a good thing you did in the last year that nobody saw 🥰 I know it's not the point of doing good, but I want you to know how proud I am of you!

Image

Not to be dramatic or anything, but this costume might actually have like microscopic amounts of my blood on it. WORKING WITH REAL METAL SUCKS 2/10 would not recommend. But I look cool so. Buy this costume from me for $200 shipped cause she's heavy and I'm getting flashbacks.

Next few photo posts are going to be cosplays I /NEED/ to sell. I'm getting better at downsizing and KonMari and all that sort of crap.... begrudgingly. Lol. First up is this hotty ninja, Ibuki from Street Fighter! This was always fun to wear, but it's been more than a year since I have. SIGH. Buy this from me for $125 shipped and kick someone in the head!

Always go for that superhero landing. Even if you eat shit, it'll still be worth watching. For those of you that didn't see my full Valkyrie cosplay at Comic Con HNL! Thanks Zarli Win 🥰 Miss you guys. Big news soon, could use a hand and if you need some cosplays I could use the help downsizing 😵

Life lessons from Leah's break so hopefully you learn an easier way than I did: Check in with yourself, you know? If you feel a symptom of an illness, you're gonna pay attention to make sure you're not coming down with something bigger. Your head and heart are the same way. Don't ignore the sniffles and then be surprised when you get the flu, you know what I mean? I appreciate boat days and the people on them. 📸 Ishan Mons ofc

Not 100% back yet, but maybe a post here and there. Seriously, even moving social media off my home page and turning off notifications is so helpful. Give it a try.

Just heard about the SDCC news of Barbie making XMen dolls for the 80th anniversary of Marvel and I was so excited and I looked at who they were making and.... ..... I'm fine. I don't even need a doll. Whatever. Jean, Storm, and MYSTIQUE??? I HAVE FEELINGS

My Alita sword broke :((((( Pic by Zarli Win who called dibs on Alita photos so fast lol Side note, it's hard to stay motivated on social media when you see your numbers decrease in every way. Not because of the numbers and clout or whatever, but cause each number is a person that you connected with somehow. Stupid algorithms and nonsense. Love you guys.

This is me cosplaying an Instagram model with a rep deal with Goodwill. I like my secondhand outfit and feel cute in this photo 🥰 But for real, you might feel silly taking pics like this but you see the results and you're like OH OKAY. Still trying to get back to 100% and I think this past weekend with my friends helped a bit. PC Ishan Mons 🌻❤️

I honestly did not start out intending to make my caption a limerick I don't know where it came from, if you wanna come tonight to Sporcle Live Trivia Hawaii that might be nice. Just go easy on me, the limerick was a true story. Photo by Alden Fukushima!

Trying to channel the OG space mom a little today, partially by playing WARFRAME a la new space mom. Wanna hop on stream with me in a bit? Let's go (twitch.tv/leahroseftw) in like half an hour. Not going to be a super long one, but I've missed streaming! Sorry pic is blurry, one of the few I have from Carrie's memorial in Seattle)

It's been a really crappy week and some, sorry I've been so awol but I really needed to focus on not losing my frickin mind. Have you been doing okay? While I work on more creative stuff I wanted to show you my new... headshot... by Jeffrey Aviles! Should have a pair of fins or something instead of the bobby pins, but I'll tinker with it later. Would you like some stickers of this little thing?

Hey guys, it's late and not my normal kinda post but you guys get it and I don't mind sharing. Had my regularly scheduled breakdown about missing Caribean Sera. Cancer can suck every nasty ass on the planet. Share with me someone you never want to forget, you only die for real the last time someone speaks your name so.... Yeah. (I'm in the back as Amber from Suckerpunch, but it was really Sweet Pea's story all along. Okay symbolism I see you)

I seem to have a thing with angels- Mercy, Belldandy, and now Angel from Borderlands 2! It’s weird that it’s harder to do cel-shade makeup in post than in real life. Still some work to do, but I’m pretty okay with this so far and stoked to have a comfortable cosplay for probably con Sundays where leggings and boots is all the effort I can manage! Suit designed by Bahamut Dawn Creations on Etsy.
