About Me
You can call me Bees! She/her
I've been cosplaying since 2014 and sewing since 2012
I'm based in the Twin Cities, Minnesota! CONvergence is my home con and I try to be active in the local scene
I'm most active in the Danganronpa, Vocaloid, and One Piece fandoms! There's a special place in my heart for Homestuck and Tangled The Series though :)
I work full time as an aerospace engineer! Ask me for a space fact any time
I do not take commissions and do not want to make cosplay a job. However, I am open to craft trades if you're in the Twin Cities area! Shoot me a message and we might be able to work something out
Fun fact: Bees is a nickname that came from the Skyrim language Dovahzul, where the word for multiple bees is ‘eme’ which sounds similar to 'Emma' (my real name)
501 Cosplay Panel Links
I portrayed Kaito Momota in a NDRV3 panel series that you can watch on youtube!
Some fun extras
An ever-growing list of resources pertaining to Southwest Asian culture, history, and current events. This is also a repository for research I am doing for my Kaveh cosplay build, because it is important to recognize the real world impact on the stories we enjoy, and vice versa.
Informational website on the history of Palestine
Randomized + vetted GoFundMe campaigns for families in Gaza
PDF downloads of Edward Said's books "Orientalism" and "The Question of Palestine". Must reads for any westerner interested in studying Asia (especially Southwest Asia).
30 minute Dutch language documentary on Maryam Entezami's recreations of ancient Persian clothing free on youtube. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical costuming youtubers (Nicole Rudolph/Cathy Hay/Bernadette Banner/etc.) or anyone interested in learning a bit more about the history of women's clothing in Iran.
Wiki entry of various Persian fashion terms on Encyclopaedia Iranica. Note that there is a LARGE amount of variation due to dialect/language, so these words are likely one of many terms for the same thing (for example: Šalvār/Salwar/Shalwar or Gīva/Giveh/Giwah)
Twitter thread on components of Genshin Impact character Kaveh's design that are inspired by Iranian culture. This user has several other great informative threads about Sumeru.
Database containing feather specimens from 1000s of birds. Used while researching Kaveh's feather.
