The Band Ghost is a heavy metal band that isn't always so heavy led by Tobias Forge and his touring band of musicians that conceal their identities as Nameless Ghouls. The bands lore is that Papa Emeritus IV currently, the anti-pope (Forge) and his ghouls led the band as part of a Satanic Ministry that tour to spread the word of Satan to the masses with their music. In reality it's really just amazing music and fun with a macabre twist. Prime Movers in the lore are considered to be the Papas' wives. Ren is a HUGE Ghost fan and celebrate her love for their music and lore by cosplaying as a Sister of Sin/Prime Mover. These photos were taken by Ren's husband Patrick while attending her ritual (Ghost concert) in September 2022. Cosplayer: Sister of Sin/Prime Mover (RenChan).

The works of Tolkien have been a passion of YomuChan ever since she watched the premiere of Fellowship of the Ring. From there to the books, from the books to the new Hobbit movies, it's definitely a main fandom for her. Maybe even her first real fandom. So when recently she was trying to decide which character to bring to life, Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, immediately came to mind. He is larger than life and his costumes are immaculate, so she I knew he would be perfect for her first crossplay."These amazing photos were taken in September 2020 at Fort Belle Fountaine. Cosplayers: Thranduil (YomuChan) and Legolas (Ornate Snow).
