Confusion

The title of this blog post will most likely confuse a lot of people, ahaha! 

But it's actually not some sort of Confusion about anything, but it's actually about the Anime/Game/Nerd Convention Confusion in Gothenburg! It's a con that I've been wanting to go to for a few years now and I didn't plan to go there, this year actually, as I haven't had the money or anything. But the other day, when I decided that I wanted to drag my bestie Tir out of his apartment to hang out with me, we went to lunch and hung out at his school a bit, just having a great time.

And he's been very hyped about the con since he'll be cosplaying characters he love and see people he like. And I'm always happy to see him happy. But in the middle of it all, the little shithead that I love so much suddenly suggest that I should go. And he knows I can't afford it. But he's one generous son of a bitch, and yesterday my bae ordered train tickets and con tickets for us! A late birthday gift and one early Christmas gift he said. AND I'M SO HAPPY GUYS! I haven't been to a con since August, and I hadn't planned to go on one until next year, but now I'm getting the chance to do it!

I will be cosplaying with Tir and on my own. Aoba on Friday, with Tir as Noiz, and I will be doing some version of Grell during Saturday, and probably go as Loki too! On Sunday I will use my dear old Izaya cosplay with Tir as Shizu-chan! <3 



My friend Benjamin is so nice and letting me stay at his place with Tir and Mii, and I'm looking forward to it so much. ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT!

If you're going to Confusion, please don't hesitate to say hi, or ask for a hug! As long as I'm not extremely busy I'm glad to give you one~! It will be so much fun meeting you all and cosplay again~!

And today I'm going to Sebastian's place for about 5 days, since I'll be holding a lecture at the Pride Festival in Skellefteå this weekend. Going to hang out with Tir today before I go to the Airport Arlanda. Can't wait to see my precious man again. And his dogs and cats... and my kitty My!  


I've decided to try to make a little video with me and Sebastian while we try to get his apartment in a more Christmas like mood, since you guys have wanted to see more of us both together. It really sucks that he's so shy and rather stays behind the camera rather than before it though, haha.

Bye for now!

LensCircle Review - Whiteout Lenses

 So I'm back with another lens review! It's been quite a while, isn't it?


For the second time, I'm reviewing lenses from LensCircle. They are a reliable online store which sells normal circle lenses in different colors, but also special effects lenses, such as the ones I'm going to be reviewing today! With every order, they send you the lenses, and a cute little soft bag to put your lens case in! 

Here's there logo, which you might recognize!


The lenses I got was for a Halloween makeup, but the mail services messed it up before, and therefore I didn't get them until a couple of weeks after Halloween. But last time the shipping was fast, and I could do other Halloween looks, so it didn't matter too much. now I got the time to do the one I wanted anyway!

Lenses: Whiteout lenses







Size and effect

These lenses are 14.0 millimeter. 14-14.2 is the size of my normal contacts. So these lenses are not for size, but effect! The color of these are clear white, which gives you an insane and creepy look, covering up basically all of your iris, only showing your pupil and a tiny bit of the iris, which is only visible from up close. 




Comfort and vision
These lenses were easy to put in (if you have the experience to put in lenses of course), and they were rather comfortable actually! I didn't feel them, just a little while after I put them in, which all lenses should be like. For a while, when I forgot I had them in, I scared quite a few people, haha! I had no trouble with my vision either. They didn't blurr my sight or anything. Super great!
Video where I use these lenses: 


I really recommend this site and these lenses if you want some cool or creepy lenses, or any circle lenses at all! I have another pair of lenses from the same store and that my black circle lenses that you've seen me wearing, for example in my pink princess video!


So take your time to visit their site.
The service and communication is also great!
Thank you so much for reading, lovelies! 

ADORABLE T-SHIRTS~

Just thought I should brighten this dull autumn up a bit!

We haven't had proper sunny weather here in what feels like ages, so to cheer things up, I thought I should share some cute and colorful t-shirts with you! They remind me a bit of summer, and might be nice to wear under thick hoodies and jackets and show of when you're inside where it's all warm, now during this season. I miss summer pretty badly and I know I have at least 5 months of Winter ahead. So I'll do my best! Fiiiighto!






The T-shirts are from Sheinside.com, and they are cute printed ones. Some of them a bit of the shorter design. I think they are adorable, a bit playful, and fits anyone who likes it cute or colorful!

Thinking of writing some posts soon... thank you for reading~! <3

A weekend full of cosplay

So last weekend, I went to the town Uppsala, where two of my best friends live, Nathalie and Annie. Since this summer, Nathalie and I decided that we just had to do this special pair cosplay, Jack Frost and Queen Elsa. I was like "hell, I have been wanting to do a nice cosplay for competitions for ages and I can as well start out with something 'simple'". And I had a thought about making a sketch with Elsa and Jack. So I thought, why not ask Nathy, since she's always up for new things and great with cosplay? I had refused to do the Jack cosplay for 2 years since it was the kind of cosplay almost everyone did and I didn't want to be one in a crowd of Jacks.

Funny thing was, Nathy was pretty much the same about Elsa. She wanted to do it, but had no 'reason' and she just saw how everyone else did Elsa. So now we're very happy preparing for our cosplays and the sketch we will perform. I'm very excited since I haven't done these kind of things in years! 

Anyhow, during my stay at their place, we watched Rise of the guardians, had good and healthy food and snacks, we played a really odd but magical game called 'Journey', and simply planned cosplays, worked with them, and had fun, me , Nathy's boyfriend, Annie and Nathy.

I even visited Nathalie's school during Friday, and watched as her class performed different experiments, but I was just scared that they would blow the place up ahaha!


But one of the funniest things we did was to take photos of us as Shougo and Izumi Sena, just before I had to go home.

Sunday was Father's day, and since I couldn't celebrate my own dad, I baked an American Apple Pie and bought pink roses for Johan and Niklas, my foster dad's, who got home from Egypt late during Sunday night. They seemed really happy about it as they had never gotten a Father's day present or anything, and I was so happy to see them again, since I had been away one week in Norrland with Sebastian, and before I returned home they went away to Egypt.

And now another week has passed, and tomorrow it's Friday once more. I'll be working a lot this weekend, and take photos of things and such, and hopefully I'll be able to get some nice photos taken of me in my new cosplay that I received just yesterday! It's Wonderland Undertaker, and I'm so excited to use it, once I've styled my wig.

I hope you've had a great week. Keep up the good work everyone!

Bye for now!~

Csddlink.com Cosplay Review - Syo Kurusu School Uniform

Here is my review on my cosplay from Csddlink.com
I got in touch with this company, who offered me a cosplay free of choice, to wear and review. Since this was in one of my Uta No Prince Sama periods, I felt like I had to take the opportunity to revive a two years old cosplay plan, as I found a gorgeous looking Syo Kurusu cosplay

It's his school uniform, so it includes these pieces. 
  • Shirt
  • Pants
  • Tie
  • Hoodie
  • Hat
Wig is sold seperately, and the wig I wear in the pictures is just a normal blonde wig, and not one for Syo.

I was exciting about getting this costume, as the website is a trusted one, and the pictures at their pages looked just great. It took about 2 weeks for the costume to arrive I believe, with DHL shipping. It was good shipping, nothing was damaged and I don't consider 2 weeks a long waiting time for such costumes, as I have waited even longer for some costumes, like 5 weeks or so.

For the size, it was a bit difficult for me. As I'm pretty short for being a 18 years old male, not even the XS male size was good enough for me, so I had to go for female size S.
There are size charts at their website if you want more specific measurements! 

The quality of the fabric was great. It's made out of polyester, and it's pretty comfortable to wear. The hoodie is somewhat tight to put on and take off, but it's mainly because I have a small size that needs to fit me. And as usual, I'm too short for the pants, but that's just me being short...!
 


I think the outfit is very accurate to the original character's design, it fits well, the description on the website is very accurate to what I got, the material is good and so is the color and size. I'm very happy, and I don't think I have one single complain about this costume, really. For anyone who would like to cosplay Syo, I really recommend it.

The price for the costume is 129$, which I consider to be a fair prize for a good costume like this, and want some quality. It's easier to buy from a cosplay store like this, than trying to find one on eBay. That's my personal opinion at least.

The store has many other costumes to offer as well, and just visit their website to check it out! ^__^

Thank you for reading this review and I hoped it helped!

Winter Is Coming - Fashion Inspiration!

So at least in Sweden, it's getting colder! We even had some snow where I live, yesterday. So I suppose it's about time to get some nice warm clothes. If you're looking for new ones, I'm going to tip you about some things that I personally wish for!

Jackets, hoodies and sweatshirt... clothes is addicting to be honest. There's so much to find, online and in local stores. Since it's a way to express yourself, by how you look, it's always fun to find something new to wear.

NekoPop Shop Review


So hello again darlings! 

I'm back with another review, and this time I want to tell you about this shop called NekoPop! It's owned y a lovely girl, who wanted me and two others to show off her products. She's really talented and sweet, and let me choose two things from her store, to review. So I want to begin by showing you my new lovely bow!

It's a cupcake bow. Like you have probably have seen, hair bows and bows alike are very common among people who dresses up in different Japanese styles. This is a more cute/"kawaii" themed one, that is baby pink, and is covered in what looks like cupcake icing and colorful sprinkles.

I took liking to it because I just love pink and cute stuff, and figured it would fit loads of outfits that I want to mix up together, for different occasions and all. You can wear it in your hair, or on your clothes, because it has a Crocodile Clip on it's back, and it's securely glued onto the bow. The icing and sprinkles also sticks very hard to the fabric and doesn't seem to come off very easily! 

The link for it is here: Cupcake Hair Bow 

The price is 6$ per bow! I think that's a really good price for such a nice bow, handmade and all!  (or get 10% off with my code 'jackocalypse' <3)

Here are some pictures of it, of me wearing it and a close up!






The next item is something that gives me nostalgic feeeeels. As a 5-6 year old little kid I was a HUGE fan of Sailor Moon and watched it every morning when they aired it in Sweden. I HAD to watch it, or I would be devastated. So I choose to get this Artemis ring (Sorry Luna, it was a hard choice <//3)! It's hand made just like the bow, and made out of clay and an adjustable ring base. I thought it was just really adorable and well made for being so small. I, who do a lot of crafting myself, knows how difficult it is to make such small details with clay like the NekoPop owner does!

It's cute and really fits a lot of my outfit, and you can get it from her store for 6.50$! (or get 10% off with my code 'jackocalypse' <3)

Item link: Luna/Artemis Ring 

Close up of the Artemis ring

My darling Margit looks fabulous with the cupcake bow~

I'm very happy with my items and I'm happy to have gotten this opportunity to review for lovely NekoPop shop! So please visit, she has way more to offer than just this! Especially if you're into bows and ear rings and normal rings! ^__^

Good evening! 

Jack's Outfits #1 (Feat. Sheinside)

Wig: eBay
Cap: eBay
Lenses: i.Fairy Tofi Grey - Lensvillage.com
Cross necklace: eBay
Sweatshirt: One size - Sheinside


So this is a more tough, yet kind of 'cute' outfit. A bit "street-ish" and on the edge. I use a lot of pastel colors, and especially pink. The sweatshirt is colorful and all, but has a pretty tough print with Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and by adding the necklace with a cross and multiple chains in different colors and thicknesses. I got that really cheap off eBay just like most things I buy, haha...!
The sweatshirt is, as usual, from my dear partner Sheinside, and here's the link for it!

Alice In Wonderland Sweatshirt (Price: 20.67$)


It works really nicely if you want a more cool look, that is more "street" inspired, and still wants to use bright and cute colors, rather than just black and other dark colors!



For the next outfit, I'm wearing the same wig and lenses!

Beanie: eBay 

Necklace: Couple Promise ring only owned by me and Sebastian
Sweatshirt: Size LARGE - Sheinside

This is a much cuter and "nicer look", even though I only made a few changes!
This time I went with a My Little Pony Sweatshirt, also from Sheinside, but I also chose to wear a black beanie with tiny ears on top, along with my necklace that holds my couple promise ring. The colors are very soft now, and a lot and a lot of pastel colors, especially soft lilac, that matches my wig, woho! I have had a lot of problems matching this wig with clothes before, since I have thought it looks weird, but I love how these two pieces matches together. Deffo loving it! I'm sure it would work really well with some long pastel colored wig, or just any wig really, a cute skirt and legging maybe or perhaps shorts, if you're not into jeans like me! Yep, a poofy skirt would certainly look cute together with this!

Here is the link to the sweatshirt: My Little Pony Sweatshirt (Price: 12.17$)



And for the last one!

Wig: eBay
Sweatshirt: Size MEDIUM 
Sheinside 

Last but not least! This is a more "sophisticated" and maybe not as outstanding outfit as the others. I personally like it a lot, and I feel like this is a lot like it's a more grown up look. I'm naturally blond, so I really like that hair color on me. I use the same circle lenses as above.

Now I'm once again only wearing the necklace I'm always wearing, but I have no hat, beanie or cap at all, just nicely combed blonde hair. I've chosen to wear a white sweatshirt, with a transparent top piece, with flower pattern! It looks clean and nice, and I personally wear this when I want to melt in a bit more, but still look a bit dressed up. It sure fits this look! And as usual, I'm wearing plain blue jeans, but black, or grey would work grey too. Preferably black, I would say, but that is just my personal opinion!

Here is the link to this sweatshirt:
White Sweatshirt With Transparent Flower Top Piece (Price: 20.33$)




So thank you for reading! I will keep posting this every once in a while, to show you my looks and maybe give you some inspirations! It would be sweet of you to leave a comment and give me some feedback!

Bye for now darlings!


Sunday 2 November 2014

Eh, ruuuuude?

This might make me seem like a bitch. But I honestly couldn't care less right now.

Lately, I've been noticing a lot of different people using my pictures, my name, etc. The other day I happened to stumble across someone who used me as their profile picture of Facebook. They even used my second name and last name even though they used a different first name. They posted statuses as if they were me, had the exact same Facebook photo albums as me with all my pictures etc, and just seemed to act like me. on top of that, they were 'in a relationship' with someone who used my boyfriend's picture as a profile picture. Simply, they were stealing our identities. And that's not ok. They didn't state anywhere that it was a roleplay account or whatever, simply stole our information and photos, even my names. And even if it was a roleplay account, it's still not ok. Especially since they didn't ask me. Nor Sebastian.

And this is not the first time. I've seen other Facebook users. Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, KIK etc. I don't think it's ok. It sure if flattering in some situations, when people make sure to TELL that it's me in the picture and not them. I've seen others use my way of writing BIOs/Info, just editing so it matches them, and that's kind of cute. People who uses also call themselves things much alike my usernames and etc. It' flattering, because they get INSPIRED. They don't copy. They are just inspired by me and that's what I want to do.

Today Sebastian happened to find a roleplay account on Instagram. It used me as "Max", Aquamarine as "Rider", Frank Wolf as "Frank" and someone else, to roleplay 'gay roleplays' with other users. Sure, it's flattering in a way, that they think I'm attractive and nice to use as a character, but I, personally, also think it's creepy. That other fantasizes about me as someone else, doing sexual things etc. I'm not a fictional character like Dean Winchester, Eren Jaeger, Sebastian Michaelis, or whatever. I'm a real person. I'm flesh and blood, with a mind of my own. I have feelings, and I feel hurt when people make me into an object, or a toy, they can use as they wish. Like a doll they can play with.

Sure, I put up all those pictures and texts up on the Internet, for everyone to see. I share a piece of my life with you guys. I do that, for a reason. I write my honest thoughts and opinions here on my blog and other social medias. Just like many others do. And I can just suit myself if people steal my work or pictures. But don't you have any conscious at all? Don't you feel bad for making someone in to an object? You see my pictures, my videos, my walls of text. Would you have done the same if you had met me? Befriended me? FELT my feelings and thoughts, meeting me face to face? Would you do this to one of your friends? I would say, most if you probably wouldn't. I can say, I wouldn't.

When I was younger, I did the same a few times. Before I realized it was weird, and that I would feel weird if someone used me. This was before I started out with Instagram and everything. Then I started using drawn pictures. Sure, it's still someone's work, but it's not a person with feelings and thoughts of it's own, not like a human being.

I never, ever thought I would gain this much attention. It was never my intention in the beginning, but as I noticed more and more people started to follow me, give me feedback etc, I wanted to keep on going and see where it would lead me.

I'm aware of that this won't stop just with a snap of my fingers. But I want to put this out there. I want you to know my thoughts about this.

I don't like people using my pictures without giving me credit. I don't want you to use my pictures for roleplaying. I am, as I said, flattered if you mind me attractive or whatever. I'm SO grateful that you do, and your comments and compliments can make my shittiest day so much better. BUT, however. To use my as a character, do feel really strange. Especially as I know many roleplays includes a lot of romantic things and sometimes (well, quite often if you're a bit older) do have a sexual theme. I feel weird thinking someone else than my boyfriend thinking that of me, even if it's not "me".

You have the right to think whatever you want. It's your mind and fantasy. But what happens in your head stays in your head. It's different when you put it up online.

So guys... I have a favor to ask you. Please don't use my picture without asking me first. And if you get a no, please, do respect that. Show some respect. The same goes for anyone else. My boyfriend, my friends, whoever who puts up pictures online. Don't use their pictures carelessly. Be nice, and ask. it's not that hard. It's just really rude to use something someone else has created in some way. Think of how you want to be treated, and think twice. So many people are very careless online and it's just... not okay. We need to be nicer, show some politeness and be more kind. To keep Internet as nice as possible? There will always be rude and people who won't show respect, but they simple lack manners and it's just too bad that they can't be smarter about how they act.

Thank you if you took your time to read this. You all who support me means so much to me.

Many hugs, your little magical boy Jack
