    I sent this to my friend (who cosplays with me) and five seconds later she sent me a voice memo of her screaming “YOU DONT NEED TO USE A HUMAN HAIR WIG YOUR FRIEND NEEDS BETTER SOURCES” and a video of her having a mental breakdown over the wig dying so yeah I think you might’ve incurred the wrath if every cosplayer within a 5,000 mile radius

      @@klarenee1123 Yep!! I have dyed so many stuff with ink and rubbing alcohol or synthetic fit dye! I also know people use sharpies on roots with spray it with rubbing alcohol to blend it in if you want the roots to look more natural! I know human wigs are great if you can afford it and want to look natural but I LOVE cartoony cosplays with synthetic wigs. They're also easy to shape and style with low heat. there's also ways to powder them if you DONT want it to look shiny. Arda or Epic Cosplay wigs (brands) also have a lot of wefts if ur worried about them being thin. tho sometimes a cheap amazon wig is fine if ur on a budget.

I have never dyed a wig myself but I did use eyeshadow on my glam rock chica wig!! Also!! Con-crunch is very real, even as someone who has never been to a con, making a cosplay before a very specific date that's super close is so scary-

    Please put all of your spools of thread and bobbins in a closed container for your cats' safety! Many years ago one of my cats played with one of my spools of thread, entangling it around and over my chair, while swallowing thread at the same time. I found him stuck to the leg of the chair by thread wound around his tongue and down his throat. After cutting the thread away from the chair leg, I raced my cat in to the emergency vet. Thank goodness I didn't try to pull the thread out of his mouth because the vet told me that could've cut through his tongue or esophagus. My cat was at the vet for a few days and only missed having to have surgery because the laxatives finally worked. My cat passed 22 yards of thread through his digestive system! He could've ended up having to have abdominal surgery for a bowel obstruction. 😢
    He recovered and lived many more years after that accident. 😊❤
