Photo: @making.with.megan The Classic Batman TV series, to my memory was my first real exposure to superhero media- my parents were both the right age to watch the show growing up, and around the time I was 4 or 5 I remember knowing when Batman would air on TV land in the evenings. Even as…

Photo: @Miggychagon Iron Man, the Silver Centurion and later the Modular armor, were chosen as all my builds are, from a period from roughly 1982 to 1994, the height of my Marvel Comics readership. These were the stories that moved me, inspired me, that I couldn’t get enough of, and an alarming number of years…

Photo:@climacam People kept asking if there was real food in the bucket/peach mango pie container! I told them “No, don’t you think it’d be soggy by now?” I feel like as a Filipino it’s a little bit sacrilegious to eat soggy Jollibee. It’s best to eat it as fresh as possible. Other reactions I got…

Sometimes they just told me they watched the movie and it terrified them. My generation or older told me how much the movie affected them and their fears. Birds are…

Dressing as Madame Leota was inspired by many years of visiting Disneyland with my favorite ride being the Haunted Mansion. My family wanted to do a group costume for Halloween to participate in a local costume parade, so we chose this theme with various family members dressing as characters from the ride. My family has always…

For as long as I can remember, Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays due to the fact that it was the one where you could be someone else. Sure getting high on sugar also had something to do with it but being able to bring your favorite character to life in your…

(photo: Felix Wong) He’s cool as hell, punk, AND BLACK? That’s such a win for black fans, especially black fans who are alternative like me. This has been said a lot, but representation really does matter. Every time I saw him on screen, he filled me with unbelievable amounts of joy. He’s also one of…

(photo: @quachstar.jpg) I started making my costumes at the age of 12. I learned about cosplay through my love of art, movies, and gaming. As a child I would enter my art into local art contests, designing clothes and making a lot of craft projects with my grandmother for fun. When I was able to…
