Let's Go 2026

I've been far too ambitious the last few years (every year?) with my cosplay plans, so this time I'm trying to tone it down a bit. There's also a handful of surprises or undecided-between-two-characters, so it also looks different than my usual stuff.

Cosplay
Izutsumi got about half-finished last year. If I decide that the fabric I have is "close enough", then I should be able to finish her up in time to wear to SPCS this year... but if I get back in my head about the colours not being what I want, then I don't know when I'll have her done. Wish me luck.
"Apothecary Diaries" is a TBD cosplay planned for Anime North, probably mostly made by Kurumasha for a group. IYKYK.
Akuoart's Mario Witches group is still-still on - this one should be a priority since the group was planned several years ago and I really want it to happen if I can get out of my own way regarding prefectionism.
Monster Prom will be for a YetiCon group - still deciding between two characters. Hopefully will be a relatively simple or closet costume with lots of makeup to sell it.
Rosalina (Swimwear) from Mario Kart Tour is on the list because apparently I need more Rosalina costumes?? It's cure, it's simple, and I think it will work well for Yeti pool-time.
Dragon is there as a placeholder for a stupid surprise gag costume. I just want it on the list since it's still part of my plans even though I can't show what it is. Technically I think it's actually going to be two costumes, but that reveal will happen when it happens. Halloween costumes aren't on here (but then they rarely are), but then maybe the mystery costume will end up doing double-duty???

Conventions
2026 is going to mostly be "the usuals" for me, with the exception of G-Anime, but as of this post I've already done that! Still to come is Con-G Geeks @ Home again, in addition to SPCS, Anime North, and YetiCon. Depending on timing, maybe I'll hit up one of the London, ON cons this year!
