How to do Caleb's Accent (with Captain K!)

New tutorial for you: This one is all about how to do Caleb's accent from Critical Role! I brought in my friend Captain K, a professional actor and the Caleb cosplayers from my Mighty Nein group, to explain the basics. Check it out on YouTube!  View Post

How Game of Thrones Should've Ended

Before the final season of Game of Thrones started, I threw together a script for a quick comedy short that I was going to call "LEAKED: Game of Thrones ending revealed!!" I was hoping to film it while GoingPostale was in town for a speaking engagement. In the end we decided to have more of a chill weekend, but I wanted t...

"Jester's Bad Advice" Update

Hello friends! I have some bad-ish news. After much thought and a lot of anxiety on the subject, I've decided not to release Jester's Bad Advice.

Di-votee's and above ($15+) have already seen the first episode, which I worked very hard on, so I do want to share it with all Patrons: You can watch it he...

Getting my Goth On

Just finished editing a video I filmed a while back where I do my goth Jester makeup and talk about high school! It's a bit of a long, chatty one, so perhaps good to have on in the background while doing something else. Hope you enjoy it!

My Weekend at DPCC!

I just had the wildest weekend β€” definitely the most nonstop, exhausting, rewarding convention guesting experience I've ever had! I thought I'd put together a blog-style recap of my weekend for those who want to hear about the experience.

Thursday

Before the con even started, I got to do some cool media stuff to promote the convention! I went on three different local news channe...

New Patron Discount Code!

Hey friends! I've had the same Patron discount code for literal years now, so I figured it was time to change it to make sure that inactive Patrons don't still have access. (I'll aim to change it quarterly from here on out!)

The new code is DILIGHTFUL.

If you ever forget the code, just go to my Patreon profile, scroll down, and click this button:

Upcoming shoot preview!

PHEW, sorry I disappeared! I went to Washington D.C. to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday this weekend (and visited the house where I grew up for the first time since I moved away in 1999!) First thing after I got back, I did a Jester photoshoot with KP11 Photography, who was visiting from Portland.

Speaking of Jester makeup...

I filmed a new video with Josh! In this one, he tries to follow my tutorial and do my Jester makeup. Check that thousand-yard-stare... he knows what he did πŸ˜‚

This video will be one of the di10 rewards for February, so if you were pledged at $10 or higher in February or are pledged at $15 or higher now, you'll get to see this video hopefully this week! (Otherwise, it'll go publ...

I'm doing TikTok now I guess?

I decided to take a stab at TikTok, which is sorta like Vine but with a heavy emphasis on lipsyncing videos, and seems to be primarily populated with teens and younger. So far it's been a lot of fun! You can follow me on the app at @ginnydi, and you can preview some of the videos I recorded on the Patron Instagram.

Tutorial: Jester's Skirt!

This is the first of a series of tutorials I'm going to do on each of the individual pieces of Jester's costume. Aside from being useful for Critical Role cosplay, I really think this is just a cute style of skirt, so I hope it's helpful whether or not you're planning to go full tiefling!

Make Some (Alcoholic) D&D Potions!

I put together some D&D-inspired cocktails recently for something else and thought I'd share the recipes in a little video! They're super simple (basically just a cranberry mimosa and a margarita with blue curaΓ§ao instead of triple sec) but I think they bring a fun themed touch to a session!

Ginny the Half-Elf Bard

I put together another original D&D inspired look this weekend for an upcoming sponsorship (shh... don't tell anyone! It won't be public for a few more weeks.) She's a half-elf bard who came here to drink mead and play music... and she's all out of mead.

I'll take literally any excuse to thro...

Not Today

I put on Arya today for what could very be my last Arya shoot?? (I guess that depends on what happens in the next 3 episodes!) I've been cosplaying this little wolf for nearly as many years now as Maisie's been playing her. It's been quite a journey, and I'm nervous but excited to see how it all wraps up.

My parents joined me for today's shoot, too! They made their own Ned and Catelyn cos...

Pike Armor WIP #1!

After much hemming and hawing, I finally bit the bullet and started making Pike's armor! I decided to make what I suspect will be the hardest part first: The breastplate. I used Kamui Cosplay's breastplate pattern, and it was really easy to follow! (It's a bit busty for me, but I don't feel like I u...

FINALLY... Jester's Bad Advice, Episode 1!

Phew, I'm really weirdly nervous about sharing this?? This was initially intended to be such a simple, quick project, but I kept running into obstacle after obstacle. (For example, by the time I got to this final draft, I had filmed 3 different versions of the sketchbook intro!) I've been working on launching this series since November, if you can believe it!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! ...

Jenny of Oldstones [Music Video]

Slightly early access to my newest rapid-fire music video: A cover of "Jenny of Oldstones" from Game of Thrones! (Don't worry, it's not spoiler-y β€” just a song referencing some Game of Thrones history/book lore that popped up in last week's episode!)

This is another one of those "hey, could I get this done in 2 days??" kind of projects! This costume is kind of funny, actually β€” it's m...
