RIP to Joann Fabrics

Today, Liz and I went to Joanns for potentially the last time ever- and we honored it the best way we knew how:


BY DRESSING UP IN COSPLAY, OF COURSE!!!! We had a leisurely afternoon of watching dumb shit on Youtube and then got into cosplay to make our pilgrimage ;w; I've written some here before and plenty of people have said it better, but Joanns closing is going to leave such a void in the crafting world that it's hard for me to put into words. Maybe I'll write a poem about it; maybe I'll just ramble on here in the middle of the night at some point. But we wanted to give a sendoff to the store that enabled us to start cosplaying in the first place, and I think we did well.


everyone ignore the stain on my shirt and focus on how cute we look~


Joanns featuring Kohaku being befuddled by the few things left for sale~


no one can fault me for mainly taking pictures of my wife in cosplay; I love them ♥

And then every fucking mall was already closed & it was raining, so we didn't really have anywhere to muck about in cosplay? So we ended up getting bubble tea XD


I put the boys back in their bear nuis + bows, because I wanted them to go to Joanns in something I made~

Speaking of nuis...my cat kigu nuis from the Chinese enstars store finally shipped. They were supposed to ship around the 19th and didn't, and then I saw other people online sharing theirs, so I started to worry D: I even made sure to order from the official taobao, so it was like...what has gone wrong??? Thankfully, Superbuy reached out and they arrived at the warehouse safe and sound! :D They'll be here in a couple weeks, according to the shipping I got, and the package will also include a Kohaku orb plush to go with the Madara one I have. Very excited for all these things~~~

and then the tariffs will murder me when the next set of nui preorders arrive sobs

ALSO!!!!!!! Liz managed to get the VPN + foreign purchasing working for the newest enstars stage play, so tonight we're gonna watch Desperate Checkmate :D The streaming service for this one was way trickier to deal with than the one the last Dramatica used, and tbh I wish they were all as simple as the one the MDZS stage play used XD

I'm so sad about losing Joanns, even though I'm fortunate enough to have a good indie craft store near where I live. I went on the second to last day and came home with an unreasonable number of blank white kids' tshirts, and storage shelves for paper...
