The Demon assassin
K, I'm kind of a big pro-wrestling fan. Like, fake or not, that shit is just fun! And there are just so many lady wrestlers right now or just so bad ass ... Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Alexa Bliss, Shayna Baszler and I just been in heaven watching all of them. The WWE just been good to me like that. But then I found someone in Impact Wrestling (whose webpage I would link, but frankly that thing's kinda embarassing). I found a kindred spirit in "The Demon Assassin" Rosemary.
Like, seriously y'all. My Hive Mother fears nothing, has bad ass entrance music, and I totally relate to her!! I mean, we are so much alike! She has her "Bunny" Allie (who she does a web series with to) and I have my human. As you'll see below he's pretty much my Bunny. We both like to solve our problems via death and destruction, and frankly, humans confuse the both of us. She is totally my hero!! 😍😈 And how many demons will grant humans an interview?! (Seriously, the stuff she's done with Alicia Atout is glorious and I cannot wait for round 3!!) Nobody is happier to get a two count than Rosemary, and there's so many matchs where she's like a predator playing with her food. Rosemary just makes me so very happy.

The shards of the Demon assassin
When Rosemary was sent to Earth by the Shadow, her soul was divided into 7 shards before inhabiting her "meat suit," the form of Courtney Rush (with one exception, I'll get to that). Each shard (or Avatar) exists on a different plane of the multiverse, and they are:
- Envy (Impact Wrestling, currently on hiatus)
- Sloth (Masters of the Multiverse Web Series)
- Wrath (Smash Wrestling, Masters of the Multiverse)
- Gluttony (Masters of the Multiverse, formerly imprisoned in the 13th Realm)
- Lust (formerly Impact Wrestling, also known as the "Decay" Avatar)
- Greed (RISE until the promotion folded, Masters of the Multiverse)
- Pride (Recently debuted on Impact Wrestling)

Gluttony
Those of us who follow "Masters of the Multiverse" had literally just met Gluttony this past season ... and frankly I'm in love. Gluttony is, to be frank, just bat shit insane. Gluttony is the shard with an appetite for souls that rivals my love of alcohol .. and trust me, that's saying something. Where most of the other shards collect souls for the all powerful shadow, Gluttony consumes them. This is likely why she was banished to the 13th realm (for you comic book fans, think of the Phantom Zone. The 13th Realm is the same idea). Gluttony is an opportunistic psychopath who drops puns and has a speech pattern that sounds like those twin girls from "The Shining" all grown up.

This is predominantly a closet cosplay (Alot was pulled from my Jessica Jones and my HapHead) and frankly came off really well. I also gotta thank James for his help with the background and the digital work on my eyes.

Wrath
Wrath is easily one of my favorite Avatars of the Demon Assassin. Unlike the other shards, Wrath actually possessed the body of Courtney Rush herself and the two are eternally linked. Basically, think the Incredible Hulk if the Hulk had a fetish for blades. When the Wrath Shard shows up, death and destruction will *always* follow. Or as I tend to refer to it, a really good time.

After I did this photoshoot last year, I went back to Point Pleasant for a quick video shoot for DemonXBunny's 2019 Halloween Costume Contest. Here you can check out my entry, the result, and the episode I drew inspiration from...

Sloth
There are two shards that humans will be most familiar with; namely Envy and Sloth. Fans of Impact Wrestling will know Envy as that's the version they see every week (and my cosplay Holy Grail) and Sloth is the main one on "Masters of the Multiverse" (though by this point every sister shard has appeared at least once, except Pride). Also known as the "Watcher Shard," Sloth really doesn't like having to get involved in the affairs of mortals, but between her Bunny, the MVPD, and the other shards all potentially ripping a hole in the multiverse every other week ... she tends to not have a choice.
Now, you'll note that I've posted multiple images of Rosemary. The red hair/ball cap is Sloth's season one look, which I already had pretty much everything I needed to recreate it (I just need a black shirt so I can finish it), while the brunette with black, and white facepaint is the current version of the Sloth Shard. I haven't had a chance to put that one together ... yet.

Closet cosplay
So, this is like "Rosemary Cosplay 1.0" cuz I wasn't really planning to do it until October so I'd have one for Halloween ... but then I just got way too excited. 😂 So, I designed my demon "make up" and just HAD to put it to use immediately. So, I took the clothes from my HapHead cosplay and got to work. Thus, "Closet Cosplay." Then I managed to talk my human into going to York Redoubt. In the middle of Winter. At night. To the creepiest part of the entire park. Just for a photoshoot. Mostly because I'm convinced the room we shot in is haunted. 😂

And then the neighbourhood graveyard. Because of course I did.
Demon x bunny
So, Demon X Bunny is both the name of Rosemary and Allie's tag team, and it's their brand (you can find all their stuff at demonxbunny.com). So, when the latest season of their web series "Masters of the Multiverse" premiered, I talked my human into a special instagram photo in honor of the premiere. Here's the outtakes! 😈
