I'm Yuka, I'm 22 and I live in the UK! I'm a cosplayer, and this year I have the honor of being part of Team UK for World Cosplay Summit 2013! Last year I was also part of the 2012 UK Team for European Cosplay Gathering. I might post some progress pictures here, but most of it will be over on facebook, so pop over there if you're interested in seeing more!

I mostly post about cosplay (surprise), video games, movies and music that I like, and about funny conversations I have or things that happen to me. Things that I often post about include: Final Fantasy, League of Legends, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Sailor Moon, Firefly and Scott Pilgrim.

I like receiving asks so feel free to message me! I'm also happy to answer any cosplay-related questions, so if you want any help, critique or tutorials give me a shout. But please check the FAQ in case I've answered your question already! :D

reap3r asked

are the prices including postage?

No, as postage prices vary depending on where people live as I’m willing to ship overseas. :)

Anonymous asked

How much would shipping be to the US?

It depends what item you’re buying, shipping prices change depending on weight.

Anonymous asked

Do you know what a size L would be in america? Does it just mean large?

The shirt and hoodie are American sizes as I bought them from the US stores Topatoco and WhatPumpkin respectively. So it’s just a standard “Large”. If you send me a private ask with your bust-waist-hip measurements I can give you an idea if it will fit. :)

So today the owner of Takopop has shown his true colours, and gone out of his way to harass my friend Kelly on twitter.

(You might know of Kelly, aka Ai Honey, she’s the gorgeous and talented Lilith seen performing with her band in this Borderlands music video.)

Kelly did not even initiate the conversation, yet @JapanCinema felt it necessary to tell her that not only are all her followers “sex-starved men” (thus relegating her status to nothing but a sex object) but also that she has no talent (just unnecessarily rude).

As we look further into this asshole, we find out that not only is he currently using another cosplayer’s photo as their banner without her permission, but he’s also berated another girl when she complained about her photo also being used without permission!

Right now as I’m writing this he is deleting his offensive tweets and comments but please share this around so we can out this guy for the sexist shitstain he is.

EDIT: He is now firing anyone who writes for TakoPop who tries to help.

So he’s not just a sexist dickhole, but also incapable of dealing with the issue in any way other than ‘letting go’ of anyone who stands up to him.

Again, please reblog and spread the word.

I’m positive each of the individual writers for takopop are brilliant people, but this guy is making me sick.

Wow. Just, wow. I don’t even.
