Hobbies You Like to Try If Money's NOT an Issue?

I want to make a fursuit and hacking consoles again. Making a fursuit is cheaper than commissioning one, but it's a matter of free time and gathering materials. What stops me from getting back into the latter is my 2DS's charging port chipped. It works fine, but can't charge. When the battery dies, it dies. It'll cost money to repair it or buy a new one and re-install my CFW on it. :(

Stop motion, definitely! Clay isn't cheap, so that has always made getting into it seem really daunting to me. There's also the problem with needing time to do it, but I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to be patient enough to do it little by little each day. And even if I can't do it with clay, it might still be fun to do with dolls or any weird toys I come across.

i would really like to get into sewing, cosplay, and cosplay making!!!

about a year ago i started watching a youtuber by the name of Sarah Spaceman, she vlogs her and her friends goofing around and having fun at cosplay conventions and shares some pretty funny/interesting contest and convention stories, but some of my favorite videos of hers are the ones where she documents her process of making beautiful intricate cosplays by hand!!!

since then ive really been into the idea of making my own cosplays since it can be pretty fun and rewarding to make an entire outfit from scratch, (i do acknowledge it can be quite time consuming...) but also because it can usually be a lot easier on ones bank account haha. it also really got me into the idea of going to cosplay conventions, its an event full of people dressed as their favorite characters and itd be super nice (and pretty easy) to find others who like the same media/characters that you do!!

ive been into cosplay since i was a younger teenager and i did sew a bit when i was a kid, but i havent touched a sewing needle in ages and i only recently got my first cosplay. well-made cosplays cost way too much money for me at the moment and id like to get my own sewing machine too!!! my grandmother had this super cute light pink sewing machine that she used to repair clothing all the time when i was little, id love to find an identical one!! id also like to get some cuter fabric patterns online that u wouldnt find at a jo-anns or something....

I’d love to get into making my own fursuits too! Ive started watching a lot more fursuit content since sometime earlier this year or later last year and it’s really been itching away at my brain lol. I’d just love to have fursuits of my own fursonas and ocs and even characters from furry adjacent media that I enjoy! I guess really the only thing that is stopping me is fear of failure and also the cost and fear of losing motivation.

I think at some point I’ll just have to lock in and do all of the necessary research into things like modelling a foam base, finding high quality materials and other technical skills. As well as find a suitable and manageable timeframe for me to dedicate myself to such an intensive project.

I’d also love to get into more general cosplay too honestly as there’s a handful of human characters from media that I enjoy a lot too and see myself in. I’ve always thought about customising my own clothes before too just in general as it sounds fun.
