Review – Colourpop X Animal Crossing Makeup Collection [ad]
Hey, hey, hey! Its’s me your geeky gal pal, finally back with a new entry to this blog. To be honest it has been way too long. I may come back to that and tell you about a couple of the things that have been happening … Spoiler Alert: It’s mainly depression and COVID-19 related. But: I have to start somewhen and somewhere and so I’ve decided to pick this little hobby of mine back up and start writing somewhere and somewhen. And today’s the day!I want to get back into a couple more thoughtful and deeper posts but to …
How to make Gin’s Facemask – A Bungou Stray Dogs DIY
Hello, friends! I know that I have not been the most active during the last couple of months but that does not mean that I haven’t been busy. Quite the opposite actually. But I might just save those tiny little details for a small catch-up-post. I have uploaded some more videos on the channel, some smaller, some bigger and I will post the others shortly. This one’s showing my process on an anime inspired facemask. As in #WearYourMask but also be a weeb at the same time. I basically say it all in the video so I am going to …

Scene 1 Hello! It is I again. Back with a third cosplay video. It took me some time to get this done, since uni started in the meanwhile and … it’s not great. Not at all …But you probably wouldn’t even have noticed, since I have been waiting to post these until I finished all of them, this one included. Scene 2 Today we’re going to be doing our third and last piece – Toko’s top as well as the sailor collar, which is detachable. Scene 3 I am a huge fan of detachable cosplay pieces. One big issue with …

Toko Fukawa Cosplay Progress: Underskirt – Video and Transcript
Scene 1 Hi! My name is Lilly and you may or may not know me from my Cosplay Instagram @MupfinSmiley and/or may blog … Let’s be honest. You probably don’t. Because there’s like barely 250 people on there … And I love every single one of them!Well … Enough about that. In case it isn’t obvious: I’m a tad bit anxious to be on camera. But here’s the thing: That’ll only go away if I make myself be on camera more.So, I’ve been wanting to do that for a while now. You see, I’m in a Media Studies course at …
A couple of Black-Owned Etsy stores to support [ad]
Last week I posted a post about Black-owned online stores. Given the current events I think it is important to stand with the black community as well as black creators. So I went back into research mode and found some cute Black-Owned Etsy stores you can support right now! Etsy is usually where smaller creators can sell their wares so you’ll be supporting genuine small business plus you’ll get some truly unique pieces. But, I’ve been talking for too long again, so with no further ado: Some Black-Owned Etsy stores to support right now. Disclaimer: Technically I have to mark …
Play a game with me … Dungeons and Lesbians
Hey! Those of you following me on social media (or knowing me IRL) may have noticed that I have been promoting itch.io’s “Racial Justice and Equality” Bundle … There’s no real reason behind it except that I actually like the idea and it’s something I want to support. You get a massive amount of games, engines, assets, pnps and so much more for 5$ or more and all of the proceeds will be donated to Black Lives Matter!And as gamers we have a huge problem of racism, sexism and homophobia within our community (mostly with mainstream following people I feel …
A couple of black-owned online stores I think are cute [ad]
Good day, friends. I remember: when I started this blog I thought I might blog a little bit about media and geeky stuff, yes, but I also wanted to post about geek culture and “girly” things since I wanted to open the topic up for girls and young women who are so often excluded. So I imagined doing some shop reviews and shopping lists/gift guides … That kind of stuff. All off that kind of ended up not happening. May it be due to lack of money or me just not needing anything or not wanting to buy anything or …
