Ideas for Couple's Cosplay

I've never actually cosplayed before. Okay, that's a lie. For my video game themed birthday party, my mom made me a Wind Waker Princess Zelda costume herself. I bought a horrible wig and elf ears from the Halloween store. Too bad I don't have any pictures of me in that costume. At the time, I thought I was the epitome of cool...I wasn't. Now that I'm a bit older and a bit wiser, I might be able to make a better looking cosplay that would be worthy to show off at conventions.

After I got a little bit of experience, I would love to cosplay with my boyfriend! After some bribing and coaxing, I might be able to snag him in a costume to take him around some local conventions. Yeah, that would take a lot of convincing on my part if I ever wanted him in cosplay. In case my dream becomes reality, and you just happen to be looking for some ideas as well, here's my couple's cosplay wish list!


1. Luna and Gill from Harvest Moon: Animal Parade

The entire point of the Harvest Moon video games is to, take care of a farm, marry a cute guy/girl, and have children. There are so many couples that you can choose from different games across the ages, it's almost too difficult to pick! For me, I love Luna and Gill because of how cute they look. I already own a light purple wig that would be pretty close to what Luna wears; and the outfits they wear aren't too difficult to construct. It would be perfect as a beginning couples cosplay.

2. Finn and Princess Bubblegum / Fionna and Prince Gumball from Adventure Time

I love Adventure Time but I haven't had the time to catch up with the series. I've been watching it periodically on Netflix when I have the chance. I really love the show, especially the Fionna and Cake episode! I'm not exactly sure if I could convince my boyfriend to "think pink" for a day and be Prince Gumball. (Maybe telling him that his idol, Neil Patrick Harris, voiced the character would do the trick!) If I were to be Princess Bubblegum, I think I would have to cosplay her as a child, since I'm much shorter than my boyfriend. Either way, these couples are just too cute!

3. Chihiro and Haku from Spirited Away

We both love Spirited Away so so so much. This is personally my favorite movie of all time. I would love to become Chihiro and I would love to see my boyfriend as Haku. Out of the three cosplays I picked out, this is one I can actually see happening sometime soon! (Only because he really enjoyed the movie. If he didn't know what his was, well, this would take some explaining...)  

4. Link and Zelda from Skyward Sword

I already have a MAJOR crush on these character designs for Link and Zelda. I was throwing around the idea of cosplaying as Zelda by myself, but really, wouldn't it be more fun if I had Link with me as well? My boyfriend knows I'm a huge Zelda fan, so if I mentioned this one to him, it wouldn't be a surprise. There are so many different parts to the costume, and so many props that would have to be made!

Of course, there are plenty of cosplays out there for couples to do. The possibilities are endless! I have so many more ideas in my head, but I kept it to just these four for now. Maybe in the future, I'll make another post of couple's cosplay ideas! Let me know who you would cosplay as with your significant other! I would love to hear what your ideas are! Thanks for reading!

HOW TO: Become a Deer Girl

Art By Teagan White

My boyfriend has constantly described my tumblr as "a mix of vintage stuff and girls dressed up as deer." That is very accurate. For some reason, I very much like the idea of going around in very adorable clothes with a pair of antlers on my head. (Yes, I know that female deer do NOT have antlers, but I am going to ignore that fact at the moment (´∀`))

This "How To" post will be ideas and suggestions if I ever wanted of fulfill my dream of living in a cottage and becoming a Deer Girl. You do NOT have to follow my "How To" exactly, and if you have any suggestions to add, feel free to comment below! I would love to hear from you!

And now, I will be going from top to the bottom.

1. Head

The first step to making yourself as a pretty Deer Girl is a pair of fancy antlers. I know that there are plenty of shops that sell antlers online. You can go and get yourself a pretty, glittery pair of antlers with a fantasy/storybook feel, or you can buy a natural pair of antlers that look real! (The pair on the right are actually REAL antlers!) You can even make your own pair of antlers to your from clay or paper mache.

2. Face

To me, becoming a deer girl is a way to experiment with your face. You can have a natural look to your makeup or you can dress up your look by using this Halloween makeup tutorial below! Of course, there are plenty of other tutorials out there to use! Explore and see what you like best!

3. Clothes

If I am indeed taking inspiration from the deer who live in the forest, then I would have to say that a majority of a Deer Girl's wardrobe should consist of natural browns, tans, creams, and whites. I certainly took inspiration from Mori Girl fashions, which is a style I absolutely love. In this collection I made on polyvore, I added dresses, skirts, blouses, and shoes that I believe would be perfect items to wear as a Deer Girl. (Just as a side note, items that are found on polyvore are usually very expensive! Unless you have the budget, try to find similar items for a lot less!)

Lots of cute clothes and floral prints! (｡♥‿♥｡)

Well, that's it for today! I hope you liked this "How To"! Leave comments telling me what you liked/what I could do better for my next "How To" post! Thanks for reading my little Deer Girls!

Through the First Week

Hello everyone!

It's hard to believe it's already September! My summer flew by so fast that I can hardly believe I've been in school for a week!

I switch back and forth between easy-going days and busy days. I hope that I can get used to this schedule again so that I am not too tuckered during the week. I guess this means I will have to start going to bed a regular time than staying up late! Eek! That will definitely ruin my work ethic if I'm tired all the time!

Currently, I do not have any pictures to show of my new dorm. This is because I am currently at home and will be going back to campus tomorrow! Hopefully, I can take some pictures and make another "room tour" type of post! I did preview the room a tiny bit in a video I made during our first weekend together!



I bought a nice camera to use while walking around and talking. I hope to make plenty more videos when I have the time this year! Feel free to find me on my channel and say hi! That's it for now, I shall get to bed and get up bright and early tomorrow!
