The councilors might complain about our methods to soothe their consciences, but they never look to closely!" - Tela Vasir

When your BioWare shares your Tela Vasir cosplay! I'm a huge fan of both Mass Effect and Bioware, so this is so awesome! :D <3

Because N7-day needs more Mass Effect posts! Also, I'll most likely fangirl some (alot) here if there are any more news about asari (or other blue aliens) and/or krogans from BioWare today. So you are prepared ;)

Ok, so just one my Jessica photo tonight ;) These might not be the most flattering photoes of me, but in a way I kind of like that. Suits the charakter more. Plus we should not be so afraid to not look perfect all the time :)

Simply just love these kind of posed, yet not really posed shots I have from my fun and relaxed shoot with Kake at Metrocon earlier this fall!
Though my Jessica cosplay is actually more of a closet cosplay as I used more or less tings I had already in my closed, it's one badass and comfortable cosplay for con sundays when you are tired and have to fly home right after the con ends :)

Also I want to take a moment to say at all types of cosplays are awesome! If it's a full on armour like Tela Vasir, heavy makeup like Nebula, or chill cosplays like Jessica Jones or Alex Vause.. it's all cosplay ^^

Another cute photo of me as the new asari from Mass Effect Andromeda that Conwant took of me a couple of weeks ago ^^
It's a bit weird to make more "happy" faces then my normal bitch one. But this charakter, though badass, seems like more of a happy camper. So untill more info about who she is is released I'll assume she is a cheerful one :)
