xRenascent @ Colorado Anime Fest??? / Japan 🇯🇵

Also, bro I just realized I have not updated the Shiva Ryne WIP thread here in a while oops??? I'll do that tomorrow 💀

xRenascent - Twitch Hi, I'm Rena! I'm a software developer by day and a variety streamer by night. I also love food and cosplaying.

Live with Ghost of Tsushima tonight for the last time (for about a month while we whisk ourselves away to Japan)! www.twitch.tv/xrenascent

Dropping your phone on your face is surely one way to wake up. 😭

Yip yip!!!

Chúc mừng năm mới! Happy Lunar New Year, or in my case--Happy Vietnamese New Year! May this year bring luck, love, prosperity, and health. Fun fact: I've already done a big no no for today and didn't realize it until after...I cut fabric, oops. 🫣

Live with more Ghost of Tsushima tonight! No webcam again, I am still feeling like absolute doodoo garbage.

These photos make me miss that one time I went to Katsu. 😩 I hope you have a great time!

I'm...relatively okay, I'm just mentally worn out from everything and my anxiety has been creeping back every now and then is all. 😭

Me the last few weeks:

It was painful for me to unsubscribe, but this change that they're making is...something.

Anyway, I hope that things improve soon? Maybe??? 🙃

Working on the lining. Still need to attach the back pieces, finish clipping and pressing some seams, and repeat this whole process for the outer fabric too...and THEN the real fun starts there. 🫠

Screenshot of a map and table listing ICE warehouse purchase data.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

More Ghost of Tsushima tonight! No webcam though because I am feeling like doodoo, physically and mentally. May also cut the stream a bit short because of that, we'll see how much energy I have.

Greatly appreciated! Just a rough mental patch that'll subside hopefully soon. 🥺

Just realized saying "this morning today" is a bit redundant, but uh. You get the point.

lmao, not me internalizing shit at 9 am this morning today 🤡

Made a bunny suit mockup because that's the closest thing I could come up with, with the fabric type I'm using (not a leotard because it's dupioni and not stretchy). And then I made alterations and had no idea what I was doing at first. 🤪

...But now the second mockup is coming altogether. Wtf me.

Another cosplay crunch work stream! More painting and gluing some soles to the bottom of my shoe covers (so I don't slip and 💀)

More Ghost of Tsushima tonight! I haven't played in 2 weeks AND I'm switching to a controller, so uh, I probably won't know what I'm doing? 💀

Working on constructing the pointed shoulder capelet! Almost done, just needs the lining and a collar, and then the detailing as well.

...Yes, I'm also aware this looks like a Manray WIP from Spongebob. 😭

WAAAAAA I'M TRYING AND I HOPE I CAN DO HER JUSTICE

Started painting the tiara tonight on stream after doing some sanding on the resin coating. Not bad for a couple of coats of paint! Maybe I'll paint it more on stream next week. But I still gotta cast the gems though...soon? 🫠

Quick cosplay accountability work stream tonight! Working more on Shiva Ryne!

Also started working on the shrug/pointed shoulder capelet thingy. Using an existing pattern and modifying it. I chopped off the majority of the pattern in the muslin fabric, but I didn't chop off nearly as enough...💀

Still need to add the collar and the other side of the capelet though.

Started making the bows for the back while waiting for a pattern to come in. It looks like some residual Heat N Bond from a previous project got stuck onto my iron/board and onto this fabric. I haven't been able to remove the Heat N Bond though, so I'll have to remake one (later on, low priority). 🫠

Okay...I think I took care of everything except contacting the post office...I filed 2 reports with the state and froze accounts. I'm exhausted and it's only 9:50 am lmao ;;

Someone just tried to register an LLC under my address???
