This year Don't Look Behind the Bookshelf encompasses one of my favorite aspects of Halloween: dressing up. Am I the only one who sees things in a store and is reminded of a book, or thinks that a certain character would totally wear that shirt? What about actually dressing up as your favorite characters? HELLO, BOOKISH HALLOWEEN. Cosplays, costumes, whatever--either way, you can dress up as--you can be--characters from books. And for Don't Look Behind the Bookshelf, I'm going to do just that: put together a series of character costumes (complete with lists of where you can buy everything) just for you. I'll be doing female versions of all the costumes, buuut they can also all be gender-swapped (or some may be gender-swapped), which is super fun! Check it all out...if you dare. (Insert evil villain laugh here, mwahaha.)
Today's costume is...
MANON BLACKBEAK
Manon is from Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series and the leader of the Thirteen, a clan of Ironteeth witches who are the fiercest around. She's also the most badass witch in the history of ever, has iron teeth and claws, and will gut you and enjoy the taste of your blood. She's a weapon, and she rides Abraxos, a not-to-be-underestimated wyvern who's basically Toothless. And you can be her for Halloween (or life) with the following supplies:
Also, fun fact--and horrible picture: I cosplayed Manon at ECCC earlier this year.
Fancy being a different--or wrong--kind of witch this Halloween?
