Here are the promised pictures. There are a few of my favourites. I also took video of Tamara throughout the night which I wish I could show you, but owing to the fact that a lot of other kids are in the videos that would be hard to edit out I opted out of doing that. Y'all have to make do with these pretty low qual pics instead. Tamara is in the pink dress for those not aware

Spoiler: Extra photos

Tamara and her best friend Vara. This girl gave bone-crushing hugs, she always left me with a cracked rib I'm sure. [member]

This was our graduation gift, along with a keyring. Very tasty

As of the time I am writing this, Tamara has informed me that she would like to do this again. So there's that.
I know I am going to miss each and every one of these kids. They always greeted us with such excitement and incorruptible innocence. Didn't matter what was happening around them, they were always pleased to see us. I know I speak for Tenile as well when I say that we're incredibly proud of all of them. I took nearly two hundred photos Thursday night and most of them ended up on Facebook. Tamara graduated in a class of ten and I look forward to seeing what they all do with their lives. I know that Tamara has always been a source of great pride and inspiration for our family and I'm so happy and proud to have had the privilege of being her big sister.

Real talk

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

I feel this on a spiritual level.

Most people have probably seen the video of the kids interrupting the dad's bbc interview, but I thought it's exceedingly enjoyable in gif form

I've been pretty absent for the last week because I was rushing to finish my costume for the local con, which was this past weekend! The best photos of my costume haven't been posted yet but here are a couple taken by friends/photographers at the con! (I was a satyr)

Spoiler: part goat part dad all fuzz

Sort of blurry sorry, but this is the only one that includes my tail:

Closeup on the eyes (also you can tell I have no idea how to actually apply makeup lmao)

Another good full leg shot:

The stilts to give me the unguligrade leg shape were made out of a mangled pair of high heels and some scrap wood, and added about 7 inches to my height when i stood properly upright. I was going to use padding to shape my legs more but I ran out of time and energy, but I still think the end result wound up looking pretty neat! I made everything I'm wearing except the top, which was just a plain t-shirt I cut up since it was mostly going to be hidden by the cowl anyway, and the chainmail bracers which a friend of mine handmade.

The con itself was super fun and I had a great time and Maybe One Day My Feet Will Stop Hurting

So I usually try to keep OOC posts on Ainsley's account but I'm making an exception for this post because CHECK OUT WHO I SAW LIVE THIS WEEKEND!!

Spoiler: Spoiler alert: it was Anika Moa

The quality of my pictures is pretty awful, but the show was FANTASTIC and a TON OF FUN, and I mentioned Anika Moa in a picture I posted of the show on Instagram afterwards, and she ACTUALLY REPLIED so I'm ON CLOUD NINE RIGHT NOW

 

[Merrill Piper]

I actually reserved a different one, but he turned out to be kind of jumpy and nippy (my thumb still hurts ) so I'm glad I asked to hold the other one too he's so cute, I love him!

My sorority recently had a Secret Santa paddle exchange where we had to design a paddle for a sister we randomly drew. The person I got is also a pretty big Harry Potter fan, so this is the paddle I made for her.

Spoiler: Excuse my drawing skills

I am the absolute w o r s t at drawing and I accidentally painted over my initial sketches so I mostly had to freehand it all, but tbh I'm pretty proud of my work regardless lol.

And yes, on the back I wrote "Mischief Managed."
