Father Builds The Most Epic Halloween Costume Ever for His Son
Do you remember the Star Wars Trilogy arcade game? It let you be in the helm of some of the more iconic vehicles in the Star Wars franchise like the X-Wing, the Speeder Bike, and my personal favorite, the Snowspeeder.
Do you remember the Star Wars Trilogy arcade game? It let you be in the helm of some of the more iconic vehicles in the Star Wars franchise like the X-Wing, the Speeder Bike, and my personal favorite, the Snowspeeder. The Hoth level was my absolute jam and when I was a kid I always wanted a Snowspeeder all of my own. Well, I'll just have to live vicariously through 8-year old Jeremy who now has a Speederbike of his own for Halloween thanks to his crafty dad.
Being in a wheelchair hasn't stopped Jeremy from being awesome. Even with his spina bifida he's still very active and plays a couple of sports. For this year's Halloween, his dad, Ryan, decided to build him a costume of epic proportions to match his awesomeness. The Speederbike has working flaps and its guns even shoot glow in the dark Nerf darts! Here's a video of the costume in action.
Everyone else can go home now because Jeremy just won all of Halloween. This isn't the first time Jeremy's dad has gone big for Halloween. In previous years, Ryan has built his son everything from a Batmobile, to a TIE fighter, and even a pirate ship. All I have to say is big ups to Jeremy for having a great costume and major props to his dad for putting in so much work for his son.

Cosplay and Commerce: Courtney Stark Opens Up About the Cosplay Scene and Why She left
I've always been a big fan of cosplay but not being a cosplayer myself gives me the perspective of being on the outside looking in. I see the awesome photos and successful cosplayers really making a name for themselves through social media and personal marketing but what I don't see is the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. There's a bunch of stuff in the background that I didn't know about and that made me curious. Lucky for me, my friend Courtney Stark was kind enough to lend me some of her time to sate my curiosity and to help people get a closer look at another aspect of the cosplay community.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
