this is my entry for 39daphs art contest 'video game character doing mundane thing'

just wanted to share here 💙 thanks for lookin! i'm so proud of this one 🥺

I know Final Fantasy subreddits tend to get at least 10 Tifa cosplay posts a day but I just wanted to share mine since I worked on it for so long (and it's still in progress!). I'm an accuracy fiend when it comes to my cosplays so I try to get all my details right from the skirt, to her armor, and her materia gauntlet. I'm currently working on an improved version of the arm armor and her shoes c: I guess I'm still missing the crazy abs too LOL

Here I was displaying it at EECC

My friend sent me some memes from this format and then it was all I could think of when I saw the gas price signs posted up in the air.

Hi! I wanted to share my Tifa cosplay at New York Comic Con!

This one was my first ever cosplay photoshoot and this took place Thursday October 9th during New York Comic Con. I didn’t get a chance to do any cosplay photoshoots when I was Tifa meeting Tyler Hoechlin, voice of Sephiroth, at Philly FanExpo, and I decided NYCC was a better opportunity.

I just did this for fun and I really am enjoying this world of cosplay! I like how I added my choker necklace with the Tifa earrings and a cute chocobo plushie which caught attention when I walked around the convention with it. I thought the plushie that I bought at a Distant Worlds concert was a cute addition because it reminded me of Cloud. And I kept thinking back to the Chocobo in Rebirth, Cloud Jr, being compared to Cloud and his hair. It was too adorable.

I don’t really do this often but seeing my friends and mutuals cosplay and just seeing other women who look like me cosplay Final Fantasy characters inspired me.

Tifa means so much to me. Ever since I was a kid watching my uncle play FF7 in his room, she always stuck out to me. I remember when he did this badass move with Tifa on this female enemy. Tifa whooped her so bad I was amazed at her strength and kindness as I watched her in the game and Advent Children before playing the game myself when I got older.

She reminds me a little of myself. I’m kind of like the “mother” in my friend groups, always looking out for them and being that positive encouragement. I’m always asking if they ate or had water and scolding them when I find out they didn’t. And as a kid she taught me to be empathetic and compassionate towards others. To me she’s a beautifully written character. ☺️ so excited to see her in Part 3!!

I’m looking forward to cosplaying more Final Fantasy characters one day. Especially some NPCs from some of my favorite games in the series.

“If I’m ever in trouble, my hero will come and rescue me. I want to at least experience that once.” ❤️

Happy Halloween everyone! Have fun and be safe!

I want to say a huge thank you to the Square Enix team. My mum was a big Final Fantasy fan, she spent most of her time playing it.

Back in December, she got diagnosed with lung cancer.. a couple of months a go, I reached out to Square Enix and told them about mum, and how she is a big fan of the Final Fantasy remakes, and hopes that she gets to live long enough to play Final Fantasy Revelations, if she doesn't she wants to be buried with the game.

They loved the feedback and were going to send her a box full of gifts for her to enjoy... Unfortunately, they didn't get around to it in time and mum ended up in palliative care, which I let them know and told them not to worry about sending it as she's in palliative care.

They quickly organised a gift box and sent it straight away.  Mum passed away before it arrived, but they wrote me a personal letter, I put everything into a memorial for mum, as it would have been hers anyways, and in a way she gets to keep it.

Now, I'll have to play the new remake that comes out to tell her what happens

Edit: I tried to reply to everyone, but this post got more attention than I thought it would. Thank you everyone for your condolences and supportive words. I do appreciate everything you guys have said. Thank you!
