Hello! I apologize for basically abandoning this group. The reason is mostly due to convenience, or rather a lack of it on this site. I have no less love for Takashima (probably more now than ever). I have done a few things that, if you'd like you can still feel free to be a part of:


There is a Fandom Wiki for Takashima Now: https://takashimakazusa.fandom.com/wiki/Takashima_Kazusa_Wiki

- This has all of her works categorized in a catalog way, translations and information for a majority, if not all of her work.


There is a Discord Server: http://disboard.org/server/603242376038973450

- At the moment, Takashima has produced two original manga works, one of which is ongoing (but delayed at the moment due to the virus). Many fun things for fans are here so pop on in if you're a bit curious... <_< = >_>


Takashima has been posting more frequently to her Instagram account in which she shares lots of sketches and fanart: https://www.instagram.com/takashimakazusa/ Feel free to follow her! Any posts will get translated ASAP and shared on the Discord, but you can also see all of them here:

Well, that's all! This will probably be my last time coming on to dA and addressing any of you. It's simply too much for me. If anyone would like to take over this dA group, please let me know! I'll be more than happy to pass it over.


Happy art-making!

Hey all! I've come back to wish you a happy new year!

(Woah! I had over 2,000 messages. D: )

Anywho, I figured my biggest problem with staying on this site is there's no iPhone app for it! Why??? Come on dA, make an official, working app already! ):

A lot has happened since I last logged on... over a year ago. orz;;; I've had some major changes happen in my life that's caused me to cut back severely on the hobbies you've come to enjoy from me... cosplay and writing/drawing especially.

But it is a new year!!

So first! I was featured in this book:

Breaking All The Rules poster by diamondcrevasse

In which cosplayers were interviewed about what cosplay was to them and why they cosplayed and so forth. It's also BY a cosplayer ( gerodere )! It was such an honor to even be considered for the book, so please, if possible, give it a try. (The description will take you to the poster's page at the store, but if you click All Products or Photobook, you'll find the full-fledged book!)

I also sold out of my first prints of my tarot deck!! 8DDD <33

I now have second prints available!

Check out the deets there (includes a link)!

Then some more sad stuff happened, and my brother and I needed a fresh sight so we started renovating our house. I got two jobs (at one point, I had three), and cosplay and all that other stuff really wasn't a top priority anymore. I had bigger and badder stuff to worry about. In fact, I basically told everyone on FB and Twitter, that I would be MIA for a while.

Which is still technically true! I don't intend to do more than MAYBE two costumes this year, and attend MAYBE one or two events outside of MetroCon and all Outlaw Corps events.

My life is starting to get in better order, but it's not quite there yet.

My new year's resolutions are few, but important:
- Write for at least an hour everyday! (I have a "secret" book I'm writing that I hope to complete by the end of this year. Top priority resolution.)
- Continue to work on and deal with the house.
- Continue to work and save money. (Cut back frivolous spending.)
- Take better care of my health! (Try not to eat junk and go to bed/wake up at a reasonable time.)
- And finish one video game before starting another... orz;;;;

So I'll see you guys around! But if you're still interested in what I'm up to, it's best to check on me elsewhere:

I can't believe it, but I've hit over 35,000 pageviews and I have over 200 watchers!

You guys are awesome! ;A; Thank you so much for your support. Much love, guys.

I've been incredibly busy and I doubt it'll ease up anytime soon. orz;; With work and online school and MizuCon and costumes, I've just been generally stressed.

I'm generally a lot more active on FB / Twitter (where I post about random fandom-related things or cosplay/conventions) and occasionally Tumblr (where I mainly answer questions and [not] post sketches and stuff [haha]).

Here are the links, in case you're interested:

I went fabric shopping for Natalia and Luke today and I hope to be done by MizuCon! I'll be a judge again this year on top of my Director duties so I'll be running around crazily as usual. XDD

See ya then. c:

(Edited because, whoops! I forgot the links. XDDDD)

Thank you to those that left me birthday wishes!!

As it turned out, our phone and internet died the afternoon before and didn't go back up till this afternoon. Then I was out all day. XDD

I've also been working crazily on our Fairy Tail costumes for MetroCon which is now less than a week away! Ahhhh!! D8 Erza is 99% complete and Natsu is only about 25% done. XDD Tomorrow I will be attempting to finish him or at least bring that up to 75% because I work Monday through Wednesday and won't have as much to devote to sewing.

I'm very excited but entirely more anxious. XDDD

If you're interested in my progress, I try to post WIP photos to my FB fan page here. c:

Oh! I can now Tweet from my phone as well and will be doing so all throughout MetroCon. If you're interested in that, my Twitter account is over here~ C:

I believe my final cosplay schedule looks like this:
- Fri: Feferi Peixes (Homestuck)
- Sat: Erza Scarlet -Hakama&Sarash Ver.- (Fairy Tail)
- Sun: Jane Crocker (Homestuck)

All groups: Equius, Nepeta, Eridan and Feferi on Friday; Erza, Natsu, Gray and Lucy on Saturday; and Jane, Dirk, Jake and Roxy on Sunday! c: If you see me, say hi. c:

See you all at Metro!

Hello again everyone. I know I've been away for a while. orz (I lost my sub, boo! XDDD) I'm now anticipating my final semester of college which will begin online at the end of June. In the meantime, I've been working 6 out 7 days a week. D:

MetroCon is rapidly approaching and I'm quite excited. c: I always look forward to it. This year will be the craziest for me as I have two jobs and work so much. Those jobs make it difficult to find the time to work on cosplay so I'll only be debuting one new costume myself (my brother will be wearing a new one too). Here is our line-up, which includes the two other members of our group in the following order:
- KeikoTora, Swankified-squeegee, KurohaneRyuu & KurohaneShizumi

★ Fri: Eridan, Nepeta, Equius & Feferi from Homestuck
★ Sat: Lucy, Gray, Natsu & Erza from Fairy Tail
★ Sun: Roxy, Jake, Dirk & Jane from Homestuck

c: We had originally wanted to debut our Tales of costumes but they won't be done in time due to me working. We'll be wearing them for Mizu though. c:

Also not sure what we're doing for the masque but I'll probably just wear the same thing I always wear. XDD

Today I'm going fabric and supply shopping for Erza and Natsu. Due to the holiday weekend, I have Sunday and Monday off so I'm going to attempt to get a huge jump on them while I have the opportunity.

Insofar as other endeavors, our third-annual Fantastical Tea Party went off splendidly and mostly rain free. We were, unfortunately, rained out just as the costume contest winners were to be announced. It was okay though; we announced them on Mizu's fanpage.

I've really been trying to begin my Hogwarts House Handbook. I've gotten only a few pages into it but I feel it's well on its way. Maybe by Mizu I'll have it available.

That's all for now. I'll try not to have a bajillion months go by without something. XDD
