Someone is building a lifesized Seikret cosplay despite the fact they’ve ‘never made anything like this before’ and after seeing the process, you can’t convince me this thing doesn’t live and breathe

Trine.k.n is creating a life-sized Seikret cosplay, sharing their journey on Instagram since October 2025. They documented the pattern-making process for the headpiece, including foam cutting and assembly. By December 2025, they revealed a wearable frame for the Seikret head, highlighting challenges like maintaining a lightweight design and proper weight distribution. Trine.k.n had no prior experience in crafting elaborate suits and noted their lack of experience in the project description. The latest update included the assembly of the neck, body, legs, and arms, with each scale carefully soldered and painted. The Seikret features a moveable head, neck, and jaw, with plans to add accessories and feathers.

Instagram app crashing within seconds of opening on Android for many [U: Widespread again]

The Instagram app for Android is experiencing significant crashing issues, particularly related to beta version 417.0.0.0.73, causing frustration among users who report the app force-closing within seconds of launching. Problems began two days ago with crashes when liking comments and escalated to the app failing to launch. Users have encountered the error message “Something went wrong with Instagram” and have reported their photo grids disappearing, despite everything being intact on the web version. Clearing the cache provides only temporary relief, and standard troubleshooting methods have not resolved the issues. Many users are unable to disable the Early Access toggle due to errors. Meta has not yet acknowledged these problems publicly. Some users are considering installing an older APK file as a temporary solution.
