Cosplay, plushie, and perler beads!~

So Today was my day off from work (I have another tomorrow, but it's dedicated to last minute holiday shopping *nervous laugh* ) and I spent it doing some more crafty stuff. :) First off, my sister Ami (Alicia) and I have already decided our cosplays for next November XD and I'm cosplaying the uber sexy Riku from Kingdom Hearts II, while she will be Sora, and my friend Logan will be Leon (the Kingdom Hearts version of Squall from FFVIII).

Riku is honestly one of my favorite video game characters of all time. He starts out in the first game as this bratty, arrogant, know-it-all kind of character that is the main protagonist, Sora's, best friend and Rival. You know, they fight, they play, they taunt and tease each other, and when shit starts getting really serious, Riku winds up falling victim to the Villain's evil ploy and becoming their pawn, while in his own way trying to save his friend Kairi. Sora winds up putting his life on the line repeatedly to save both Riku and Kairi. Throughout the following games, Riku is shown trying his best to redeem himself after his mistake of going down the path of evil. In KH II we don't see Riku til almost the end of the game, he had given up his normal form for one more suited to the darkness he was using in order to protect Sora and Kairi from the back ground. We get me FAVORITE (most fangirly ever) cutscenes (Which I'm embedding below), and his path to redemption continues in the most Recent game: Dream Drop Distance.

Here's that MEGA DAAAWWW-SOME cutscene


Anyway, what all that leads up to me saying is, aside from the double Zipper for the front, I made Riku's inner Vest today. That makes me really happy!!!
Here's a pic of that, and a pic of Riku in his form once he's freed from the Darkness.

To go along with all that, I made a Paopu fruit plushie! In the game, this star shaped fruit has a special meaning. It is said, that if two people share this fruit, their destinies will become intertwined, and they'll remain a part of each other's lives, no matter what.

I made this one to share with my Sora~ I love her and I hope my Twin is a part of my life as long as I live.

the last thing I have to post today is an updated picture of my collection of FFVIII perler bead magnets! I just have one of Rinoa and Squall dancing to make, and one of Rinoa and her dog :) I would have gone ahead and made them, but once again I'm out of black beads X| anyway, I saw that Missy-Tannenbaum is doing some Kingdom Hearts patterns, and needless to say I"M SOOOOOO EXCITED TO MAKE THEM <3 <3 <3 anyway, I probably shouldn't have had so much sugar before making this post today, and should drink some tea to calm down. See you all later~!
