    Writing

    Poetry

    This year, 2020, is the year I self-publish my first book of poetry. (Ahhh!) This has been a project and dream ten years in the making and I am beside myself with excitement!

    If you’d like to follow along on this journey, I’ve finally launched an Instagram account specifically for my poetry work. You can follow that account here. (@malaray.poetry)

    If you’d like to support my work monetarily, my Patreon page is for both my writing and my podcast. You can find / support me through that here.

    a lil highlight reel of my espeon eeveeloution jes a lil highlight reel of my espeon eeveeloution jester costume for the Feast of Fools weekend at @washingtonfaire!

the hat is the part of the costume i’m happiest with because it was a cute, easy to wear hennin and it made me so recognizable because of the shape matching the ears so well! (i followed @drawingsbynicole’s pattern and tutorial!)

we gave out “canst though catch them all?” cards and had a scavenger hunt for people to find us all and get an ultimate, group trinket if they did. it was so fun! people got really into it. thank you @gingersnark for making the cards and @tays_cosplays for making the wooden trinkets! (i didn’t take good video of either but Ryan has a full vlog up on her page!)

and as always, go check out the other eevees—everyone looks stunnin!
