I made sushi earrings with a student of mine using polymer clay, and I absolutely love them! I love that being a teacher also means you can still learn and get inspired by your students. 😁❤ My "sushi rolls" have carrots, cucumber, and eel, and then I topped the rolls with a rich brown crystal to imitate eel sauce.. my favorite! Making sushi was my student's idea, and such a creative idea it was! #outschool #learnanything #makeyourownjewelry #handmadejewelry #clayearrings #clayart #sushi #foodearrings #classesforkids #jewelryclassesforkids #jewelryclass #getcreative (at Ithaca, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdzK_5kOJbM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dungeon Meshi - Marcilles Army (Translation note under the cut)

Gotta say I have no idea how to translate the wordplay joke in the bottom panel so I won't even try. From what I understand Laios is saying とにかく(tonikaku/anyway), but Shuro repeats it as 兎に角 which can also be read as 'tonikaku/anyways' but is using the word for both rabbit 兎 and horn 角 instead. At least I THINK that's the joke, who knows, feel free to message me corrections if you like.

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #meshi #dm #laios #namari #shuro #chilchuck #senshi #this ones a weird one but its nice to see laios get outschooled in monster knowledge lol #ryoko kui #jackalope #fantasy #translation #as before take translation with a grain of salt

Writer : Amy Densham

Whether your kids live in rural Iowa or downtown NYC. If they have cosplaying parents or only they just learned about Halloween. Astrid and Leah bring that excited, welcoming, Con energy to their student’s computer screens all over the world.

The platform is Outschool. It’s been around since 2015 and started as a go-to for homeschoolers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Outschool grew beyond homeschooling. It became a place for learning and socializing whether you homeschool or not. Now serving over 1 million learners in 195 countries, Outschool has thousands of classes for ages 3 - 18. Learn about dinosaurs from a paleontologist. C# coding from a game developer. Or cosplay from an expert seamstress and a professional actress.

Astrid Turner, bubbly and all smiles, remembers standing in line at a Con: “The cosplay community is one of the most supportive and wonderful communities out there. When I cosplay, it’s not attention on me. It’s attention for something we share. We already know we like the same things. The craftsmanship, the idea that you’re there together, dressed up, having an experience together.”

Astrid teaches Cosplay Costume Design and Creation Workshops and anything else costume-related (just send her a request). She can pleat a skirt, put a bodice in, and bring kids out of their shells with ease. Part of her class includes real-world skills like comparison shopping; if you’re asking mom to buy it, you need to have a plan.

What does Astrid hope her students walk away with from taking her class ? Ask about her experience teaching online classese.

With a classroom maximum of 5, Astrid gives personalized attention to all of her students. Some enroll with a clear costume vision. Others just love Anime. Either way, Astrid helps them follow their own creativity and make it a reality.

Do they need a sketch? No problem. Does the fabric need to be washable? She knows just the thing. And costumes are just the beginning. Her eyes light up when she talks about intuitive, introverted students growing and connecting as the weeks go by. Someone who barely spoke in their first class is now the first one to share their progress and welcome a new student. They find their people and their voice.

Leah Johnson, artful and confident, talks about her experience at Cons: “It feels like everyone is a family. They want to welcome you in. It’s an excitement of sharing. Always. Of what they’ve made, what they’ve done, other cons that they’ve gone to, and people they’ve met. Everyone there wants to inspire each other.”

Leah teaches Special FX, Halloween, and Cosplay Makeup or one-on-one classes by request. Some of her students want to become professional makeup artists. Some want to scare their grandmas with fake wounds. In both situations, Leah is raring to go! And so is her washable Mehron Practice Makeup Head - currently sporting terrifying clown makeup from her last class.

Every class is unique. Some learners pop in with full, top-of-the-line makeup kits and some join with leftovers from the makeup wearer in their house. Part of the fun for Leah and her students is figuring out how to create looks with what you’ve got. It’s a great life lesson too. Sometimes you’ll need a specific product but sometimes you just need to be resourceful. Leah playfully refers to it as preparing for the zombie apocalypse when you won’t have all the tools. Her personality beams through the screen as she uses her makeup head to show makeup techniques, up close, and with student-requested variations. For Leah, the online part wasn’t her favorite. There’s an unquantifiable distance when you’re interacting online. You aren’t in the same space. It’s not the same as in person. But she makes that work too. And it’s a small inconvenience compared to the big benefit: bringing creative, accepting spaces to students wherever they are in the world.

HOW IT STARTED

Astrid and Leah both grew up loving costumes but they didn’t find out about cosplay until much later. In each of their separate hometowns, they were that kid in full costume at the grocery store. Or decked out like crazy on Halloween. Sound familiar?

Astrid remembers her first Ren Faire: “My first costume was a disaster but I was so proud of it! Ever since then, I knew I wanted to make costumes.” Growing up in a rural area outside LA, she always wanted to go to the San Diego Comic-Con but she didn’t have anyone to go with and didn’t want to go by herself. None of her friends were cosplayers - a term she didn’t even know existed.

She taught herself to sew, learning by creating more and more complex projects. Elaborate Elizabethan gowns with striking details for the next faire.

As she grew older, Atrid took a detour, exploring other career paths but she came back to sewing when her kids were small. Making clothes and costumes for them brought back that magic. And the internet showed her there was a whole community out there. No longer the only cosplayer in town, she dove in head first.

Now Astrid and her 3 kids (ages 13, 10, and 7) attend Cons every chance they get. In full costume, of course. She enters competitions in the handmade category and, though she’s modest, has taken home more than one win. In middle school, Astrid was big into theatre, Shakespeare, and creating Renaissance costumes.

An actor, director, voiceover artist, and singer, Leah cosplays characters from Arwen to Cruella De Vil to Mary Poppins. She teaches makeup and cosplay on Outschool but does both professionally for film, theatre, and events. To name a few, she designed costumes for the TV show Kookville and a stage production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She even did makeup and created costumes for the movie Demon Squad, which you can find in Season 13 of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. She believes that cosplay isn’t just about expressing yourself, it’s about developing yourself and creating a full aesthetic. Beyond that, she wants her students to know, they can make a career out of their creative passions. And she’ll help them do it.

Leah talks about her first Ren Faire experience: “It felt awesome because I was trying to be intentional about creating a costume for me. Not for a play. Not for someone else based on their vision. It was my vision. It was what I wanted to do.”

You feel different in your cosplay. The persona, the confidence. It can be hard to describe but Astrid and Leah teach toward that feeling in every class.

Specializing in Elizabethan and Italian Renaissance costumes, Astrid also cosplays Collei from Gensin Impact and loves growing her skills in the anime genre. She even runs a social club on Outschool where Genshin fans can hang out virtually and game together.

Astrid beams: “A lot of kids and adults choose a character and they try to match that persona. It’s a little bit of safety. I’ve had people scream ‘OH MY GOD ITS COLLEI’ and run over to me. Under normal circumstances that wouldn’t happen. But at Cons, it’s so exciting. It’s amazing to connect with other people through that persona.”

*** Leah, with her cosplay weapon collection behind her: “You feel more confident in your character’s costume. It’s a projection of your best self. A lot of work, your imagination, and your brain is now projected on the outside. People can see that part of you that they can’t see in any other situation.”

Leading by example, Leah shows her students that they can make their creative passions into careers. She beams when she talks about a student getting confident enough to make an Actor Instagram account. Or doing professional-level wedding makeup for their entire family.

Teaching online from Arkansas since 2018, Astrid volunteered for the first-ever Outschool Cosplay Convention in 2021. Now called GameCon, the 2-day event featured presentations at different times of day for different timezones. Sessions about costume design, makeup, theatre performance, and more. And, most exciting of all, the costume showcase. Every kid got a chance in the spotlight to show off their creations. Astrid, laughs now: “I burst into tears when I logged off. It was such a rush of emotions. I found my people! I wish I had this when I was a kid.”

be me, cashiering

little old lady comes up to counter with one (1) chocolate bunny

her: you know they’re poisoning the hershey bars to try to kill all us white people. but if you pray to the Lord he’ll protect you and save you

me: you know you’re incredibly racist which is against jesus’s message and i’m not christian

her: you and people like you are what’s wrong with this world

me: goodbye

her, after walking out and coming back in: you—you made me so upset i dropped my chocolate. i’m going to go get another one.

i just started ignoring her. surprised it took this long to get such an outwardly racist pos. wish i hadn’t been so taken aback and could have articulated better because i could have outschooled her on her own religion and use it to make her feel like shit for being racist.

less than one month left before i can leave this hell job

I made cupcake earrings with a student of mine! They're red velvet with glow in the dark frosting, sprinkles, and icy blue wrapper. Doesn't matter that they're not the most refined work of art ever; I had fun creating them with my student and jewelry making is about enjoying what you create! #outschool #outschoolclasses #learnjewelry #learnanything #imadethese #handmade #customearrings #polymerclay #polymerclayearrings #sculpey #dessertjewelry #cupcakes #redvelvet #havefun #create #makeart #kidsjewelry #lessonsforkids #outschoolisawesome (at Ithaca, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfg21CMOsfE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One reason i only practice traditional art [track pad drawings send to friends aside] is the last thing i want to add to exploring a new skill is all the fucking unintuitive frustrations and. Whatever youd call ludonarrative disconnect for YOUR REAL LIFE.

Which is to say im once again frustrated with at the technology i interface with all the time just. Becoming contextless. The layout of a really outschool forums and a modern smart phone may both be Equally Dense. But the desire and trend to hide the pathing and navigational connectivity and CONTINUITY. Is like. Not just frustrating but DISORIENTING.

It feels like being lost in a room where all the walls and doors are the same. It is not yet as scary. As the technology does not surround me, i can put the thing down and experience something else. But these things are part of life, and its still annoying. There real fucking cognitive load to using these fucking screens with our hands and its NOT like an object in the real world but i NEED it to do things. In the real world

Also and additionally why the FUCK does an mmo from a decade ago that you play on a moniter with a mouse know that ui scaling is important but the cutting edge tech that everyone is supposed to have and use THEIR FINGERS with does not... ui scaling DOES NOT equal zoom. Its not a matter of vision its a matter of dexiterity.

#some shit #okay im sad and annoyed i should. sleep about it.#they made things smaller on my phone qnd its just really annoying.#and i wanted to see if incould make it bigger but the menus are confusinf #i dont wanna live in the cyperpun dystopia that invents new digital disabilities. this sucks. i dont have a needle threader for pressing #buttons on a screen that are too close together.....#my phoneis so big i hate it why dont they use the space better.......

~Introducing Me~

Hi! Welcome to my new blog where I, Violet, aka Dragyn, will be taking some time to reflect on the smallest of things to the largest of things going on in my life and if you read these things? Thanks!

If not, well, thanks for at least noticing the blog!

About me:

I am a 28 year old professional hustler in the sense that I currently work three jobs of varying degrees. The main job I currently have is a Substitute Teacher with my local public school board. I also teach inclusive D&D classes on a platform called Outschool. Lastly, I am a Coaching Coordinator and Public Speaking Coach with a start up company called TalkMaze where I teach youth how to be more confident in regards to their communication skills through speeches, debate, and more, while also refining the curriculum the company uses to ensure we are, in fact, building confidence in our students. It's a lot right? But I love it.

I mentioned D&D right? Well I love it as one of my hobbies. Having been introduced the game virtually back in 2017, having been a Dungeon Master since 2019, and now teaching/playing/running multiple games, it is a huge part of my life. I do not know where my life would be without this amazing game.

I also identify as both demisexual and pansexual! I've become much more involved in the 2SLBTQIA+ community since coming out and I try to keep all of my spaces and roles as inclusive as possible- still learning so much every day and enjoy seeing people being truly, authentically themselves, which is something I need to keep learning myself.

I am also a part of Toastmasters! During my time as a Toastmaster I've become much more open and communicative, being able to share my vulnerabilities, passions, and also communicating these things effectively has been a mind opening experience. I feel much more confident with every piece of feedback received on my speeches, projects, and why yes, even my own writing.

All of these things make me, me. I am a hustling, busy, young professional trying to find her voice, continue to grow, and I look forward to sharing more of these aspects of myself with you all as this blog gets launched!
