This cosplay was a labor of love. I’ve wanted to make a vault suit for a while, but didn’t have the time and materials to make it happen until this year. It was originally slated for ECCC, but I wanted to do it right and not rush it, so I pushed it back for Pax West and then as it wasn’t quite ready, finally for Rose City Comic Con. The pattern is started from Yaya Han’s bodysuit pattern (McCall’s 7212) and then modified to be screen accurate to Fallout 4′s suit. I also referenced Brazen & Bold’s tutorial to make sure I was on the right track . FYI - their tutorial is super handy and definitely worth checking out if you want to make your own vault suit.
I can’t wait to do a proper shoot and a pinup shoot for this cosplay. I definitely plan on keeping this cosplay around for a long time. You never know when the world is gonna end, so I might as well be prepared. ;)
i saw something earlier about this on my dash but yeah white sociopathy is a real phenomenon and it’s a real term. A Black woman coined the term and explicated how white sociopathy materially operates, and there are countless other academic works that discuss it. It’s not ableist to discuss white sociopathy, because white sociopathy is part and parcel to white supremacy. “White sociopathy” is not a psychiatric or biomedical term meant to pathologize whiteness or racism - it’s a sociopolitical term meant to describe how white people’s implicit biases and social conditioning lead them to dehumanize Black people & other people of color, and how the ideology of white sociopathy is used to justify eugenics, sterilization, police brutality, and many other forms of racism.
Put simply it’s one of many facets of whiteness and white supremacy.
