? SEASON 4 BNHA/MHA ? Are you ready?! I sure ain't. Hahaha I'm still at season 3. Actually, the last thing I remember is seeing Himiko Toga and I remember totally falling head over heals for her. I clearly have a thing for crazy psycho yandere characters. Thank you everyone for being patient with my page here; school has been crazy. Becoming a student again after 3 years on the work market is rough. I asked for this though so im just praying for the energy and motivation to make it all the way through once again.. But this time in French ╭( ๐_๐)╮. 1 exam this week and 3 midterms the next! Im trying to pace myself, but no matter how hard I try, its … ITS REALLY JUST LIKE COSPLAY MAN – I JUST REALIZED. No matter how much i pace it, I always find myself cramming/crunching the day before. Well, I guess that's just how my brain works (´×ω×`) PC: the ever so quiet @_brku . . . #Bakugo #BakugoGenderbend #Kachan #KachanCosplay #Cosplay #GenderbendCosplay #BNHA #BNHACosplay #Anime #AnimeGirl #BokuNoHeroAcamedia #MHA #MyHeroAcademia #MHACosplay #Cosplayer #CosplayGirl #CosplayLife #CosplayArtist #Funimation

Ivy shared more photos of her costume on Instagram, which shows the insane detail that went into the costume. Collaborating with photographer ‘thesleepymuse,’ she posed with her prop Grenadier Bracers, which the hero uses to store his sweat before turning into a massive explosion of fire.

The talented artist nails every aspect of his look, from the wild blonde hair, to the black textured mask around her red eyes. She even faithfully created his black and orange wings that sit behind his head.

SQUAD'S GOTTA DO SQUAD STUFF We filmed a bunch of these at @geekitcon for fun because it was the first time that we had the full squad assembled! I don't know when the next time were going to squad up again is.. But im impatient! ? Volunteering this weekend at @MontrealComiccon! Haven't decided if I'm going to cosplay yet, but if I do its gonna be on Saturday and, if I do, it won't be anything new. I'm really looking forward to being in the same room as many actors of my favorite characters though! I know it would've been perfect for me to prance the halls in the Witchking hoping to bump into Elijah Wood, but its okay.. I know other cosplayers who will be doing that hehehehe and I'm looking forward to hunt THEM down on my breaks! ?
