Power to LGBTQ+ Cosplayers Everywhere
June is the start of Pride Month and it's an important month for the LGBTQ community. Pride Month is celebrated every year in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots. It was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. Today, there are countless celebrations, parades, parties, workshops, and so forth that attract millions of people worldwide. I'm honoring this month by showing some love to my fellow LGBTQ+ cosplayers who I currently follow online or met in person. They deserve so much credit for inspiring others that they can be themselves. We go through the same things as everyone else, because we're not perfect.

You're Always Welcome
Clang! The sound of steel meeting steel was deafening. All around her, Asgardians and Wolves alike were falling. She struck down another invader, yanking her curved swords from its chest. It gurgled and spat its blood in her face before falling dead before her.

How to Prepare for Your First Convention
Attending conventions and meeting people are the two things I love the most about being a cosplayer. Every time I go to a con, it's like being at a party and seeing people in their costumes.

Movie Review: 'Best F(r)iends Vol. 2'
If LARP-ers re-enacted scenes from No Country For Old Men, the result might look something like Best F(r)iends Volume 2, Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau's gloriously baffling dream come true. Like the first volume of Best F(r)iends, Best F(r)iends Volume 2 is some high level nonsense, an incompetently accomplished masterpiece of Z grade cinema.

10 Best Anime on Hulu Right Now
There are few greater pleasures in life than snuggling up on the couch and binging an entire anime.
