Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: Phalafel Cosplay's Golden Lynel!


I had to share Phalafel Cosplay's latest cosplay endeavor cause holy smokes CENTAUR ACTION! Zelda's latest entry brought about a lot of changes to the series that was most welcome by many fans. The enemy design especially was really fantastic, and Phalafel wanted to take one of the more difficult enemies to task. Enter in her Golden Lynel and yep, the horse body is absolutely legit! As you can guess by the name, yellow and gold are part of the outfit with her weapon and the horse section. An impressive white wig decorates her head with some sturdy horns attached to them. These horns are white in color with black edges. The main chest portion is a rad looking breastplate that's silver in color.

The chest piece has small claws peeking out at certain spots in addition to many battle damaged scars. This is repeated on her tabard like piece that's attached via a belt. There's also small bands wrapped around Phalafel's arms. Here's where we get into the horse portion! First glance, it looks like the gold pants have the body attached on the back, so Phalafel must have had an area where she can slip into it. This portion also has feet and white boots added in much like her side of the outfit.

The white boots definitely have a lot of fuzzy action along the bottom. That's not all that Phalafel decided to make for this cosplay. Enter in the massive sword which must be done in a light material for her to wield it that easily! The sword has a loose chain and a gold hilt which slightly goes further in with small circles added in. The blade itself has a very crazy shape with curves and points going in various directions. In some ways, to me it looks like a giant axe more so than a sword.


All the shots look to have been taken in a wide open field and holy smokes does Phalafel look FABULOUS IN THEM! The blue sky in the image above especially works well with the colors of the cosplay itself! Be sure to check out the other photos throughout this whole write up :D.
