>the year is 2017>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minuteswe'll never get this back, and it hurts so much
>>10909224I wasn't being cynical when it comes to cons in the current decade. Cons now are still not as good as 00's cons, but they're way better than 2010's cons. The only big thing I miss from the 2010's that's gone now is viewing rooms since they were somewhere to go when you ran out of things to do and didn't feel like going through the dealer hall for the fifth time.
Is it still possible to do local? Example, acnl locally? Thanks
>>10900384Pre-2009 was peak conventions.Basically just people interested in anime, games and Jrock.That was before they started milking Marvel/DC movies, so you didn't have to deal with people cosplaying cringe Super Heroes™ at cons.No cancel culture around that time either (People didn't see "Boothbabes" as a problem that can LITERALLY DESTROY THE SOCIETY), we didn't have organizers dedicating panels to discuss "diversity" or "how we must do X in order to fight against Y in the gaming industry".
>>10905358I went to a small local con this December and I only met 4 people with my 3DS, it was so sad. I plan on going to Japan in June and will go to some big event, I'll bring my 3DS with me and see how it goes but I have low expectation and will mostly take my 3DS to play in the plane anyway.
i went to a 100 gecs concert last year and people were doing this in line
Hadn't realized how long it's been since we last had one of these. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!>Hi there !

>>10912551you should kill yourself
>>10912558Cringe level of offense
>>10912535so what language then?
>>10912558just trying to appreciate the effort op put into designing and making original dresses, if you hate them that's fine but you could at least say what u don't like and actually contribute to thread discussion. peace and love <3
yeah i agree, i normally don't like it but this is the one time i've seen it work well bc it fits the theme and she has the same/very similar trim on the collar
Sewing Thread: post your sewing related questions here.What threads do you guys use? I need recommendations for strong wholesale thread sites
>>10910663Well then I guess you're not going to bend your arms or flex the entire time. Suck it up for physics.A looser sleeve for the whole length will look less awkward than a bulge or a hole at the elbow.
Is there any truely invisible thread, that's not shiny? Or could I dunk transparent plastic thread in something to remove the shine and make it less visible?
>>10867953I specifically bought a $50, 1950s children's sewing machine because there's no bobbin (and it doesn't use electricity, and it fits in a backpack). It improved my motivation to sew.
>>10911026sort of. go in person to buy the matching thread. bring a scrap of your fabric along with you. hold it up, scan around the shop display with it, and zero in on the spool of thread whose color is identical to the fabric. and then leave it there. don't purchase this color thread that looks so exactly the same you think there's no way in hell it could be anything other than a perfect match. instead check this spool's immediate neighbors because the /actual/ perfect match is still that same color but just a shade or two darker. an exercise. if you live with or near someone who sews, you can maybe raid their stash for edification. gather three spools of the same color thread that are, relative to the fabric: 1) exactly identical in HSV, 2) one shade or two lighter in V, and 3) one shade or two darker in V.>set fabric on table flat>set spools on fabric>pick a spool>unreel few inches of thread from it>lay this single strand across fabric>repeat other two spools>step few paces backwards>observeresults? thread 1 will visibly stand out a little. thread 2 will stand out a lot more. thread 3 has effectively disappeared.
I'm embroidering my girlfriend an animal crossing hat for her birthday, does this look like the right pattern for LA ISLA? I'm most dubious about the Ls
Do you agree with this popular cosplay girl's opinions on male cosplays?
>>10911848cosplay an utena boy
>>10865342Looks ok to meBut I'm a man...
i miss the era when men would at least wear shitty half-assed cosplay for fun. feels so rare now. the last con I had fun at was one where I could say "uh yeah I guess you ARE waluigi"
>>10911848I only cosplay as guys, but it seems to me that many "typical" male chars in anime/manga have boring or downright ugly as hell outfits even if their personalities are ok. See: Dr. Stone. Great male chars often have clothes so generic (such as a random-ass suit or the same clothes and hair as 600 other characters) that he's not recognizable as a cosplay. Female chars and bishie chars seem, on the whole, to always have more recognizable clothing. Dunno if this plays into anything.
>>10912752This is always cope There’s plenty of easily recognizable interesting male outfits, you’re just too gay to watch them. Literally just pick a random character from any generic fujobait gachagame
Excluding the superhero and scifi genres (which seem to be their own crazy things), does cosplay of Western or heavily America/Europe-inspired series attract a better or worse level of cosplay than typical anime?
Discussion and analysis of CAP & SNK cosplayers.Post cosplayers names if you know them.Also Event & Year of pic.
>>10906883Not at all. EVO has tons of games being played other than Street Fighter and there would be tons of Capcom fans there that would appreciate seeing them. Although it would probably be more well-received if the character was at least from a fighting game in some regard.

Does visible acne (maybe even with no attempt to cover it) ruin a person's cosplay for you? How much does it bother you compared to other commonly-complained-about accuracy dealbreakers in cosplay like obeseness/scrawniness, height, wildly inaccurate races, etc?
>>10912456Acne I can ignore because depending on body chemistry it’s not always preventable. Those chapped fucking lips on the other hand are very preventable
>>10912456It honestly depends on the one's acne, but if all if his or her face is a fucking covered in landmines, It's bad.
The right makeup can cover acne pretty well. But idealy you should do something to clear it up. Spend the months leading up to con season to take care of it.
It's over
>>10912456I'm not bothered by height or race. However anything that makes someone look unhealthy or like a cheap whore kills it for me.Acne makes me feel sad for the person because I remember being a teen and researching desperately for how to stop acne, and all anything I could find said was "it's just genetics" and "cover it with some cream" bullcrap. You really have to stop eating anything containing cooking oils, among other things. Unlike an obese lady choosing to go to a con in a bikini, absolutely no one wants acne, so I feel like anyone who has it just hasn't been told how to stop it.
Which do you prefer>Looking as close to the source material as possible, even if that means a lack of details or lack of realism in the clothing/hair.>A realistic version of the cosplay, how it would have been if the char were a real-life person, even if there are details to the cosplay not supported by canon
>>10912673Whatever appeals to the eye more IRL. So people doing stupid ass thinge like fucking up their eyebrows to match a cartoon tends to look 100x uglier than leaving them mostly alone.
CCC #2 Repent EditionWhat recently mischiefs have you done recently? Or plan on perpetuate on your next innocent victims.Me: Ask someone if I can play Street Fighter II on the SNES classic. It was a close match manage to win, He was getting ready for a rematch but I say thank you and prepare to leave, He leaves first. Also after that pick up some free posters that some left of the consoles table and I leave.Also repent for being lazy and missing 3 cons this year.
>>10820217>i gave away expired condoms to horny ass weebs at a late night partyIts all dudes and trannies. The few girls are the type that dont sex anyways so you pretty much accomplished nothing.
I will just say I'm at Conventions with a Game Boy Camera.
>>10854086>>10854091Gigabased
I'm glad my boyfriend isn't interested in conventions because it's an easy weekend to cheat on him. I can get it out of my system a few times a year.
>>10816477I have a crossdressing fetish for frilly clothes and I use my local used cosplay market for cheap outfits to wear and coom in (especially if the girl is hot)

>>10912471what the mccalls
>>10912471aren't these dog clothes? this picture makes me rage. atleast we can assume they're replicas based on the rest of her stuff.
Sharing a hotel room at a con:Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?
>>10912311Also wrong.
>>10899061Never done the total strangers thing, but I have stayed with some people on the outer edge of my friend circle. Friends of friends. It was a great time and gives you some idea of what it's like with a new group of people. The only downside is that they were the "pack 10 people into a room" type and holy shit never again.
in my early 20s i would cram according to what I could afford, usually having to share a bed with someone and having sex when my roommates were at the conI’m in my mid 30s now and i get suites with my gf because we love stuffing a fridge with groceries and using the stove and kitchen for the weekend and having quiet time to ourselves
>>10899061>Have you done it before? ya>Where did you find people to split the room with? friend found them on the con's forum or they were friends of friends>Were they strangers? ya they flew in from another state / friends of friends>What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? none>Did any problems arise? nope we just went there to sleep>Would you do it again?not really you only do it to split the cost / meet new people
What's a good place to find people to room with? I'm mostly going to be going to cons alone and it's fucking expensive.
last one hit bump limit
>>10912604I had color transfer like this except it was a black jsk that transferred color to a white blouse.I never got it out, but that was a long time ago. If this happened now I would use a specific laundry product that claims to remove color bleed. I have seen it at the local drugstore, just never tried it. It's called laundry SOS or something.
Poly from sheglit and BPN feels so good why did no one tell me polyester could feel so nice?
>>10902439I wanna start dressing like a guy from a magical girl anime. Do I just go full visual Kei?
I really like lolita styled boots and was wondering what would be a good brand to purchase from. I know that brand shoes aren’t necessarily good quality (i.e. synthetic leather). Here’s a reference of what I’m looking for;
What kind of j fashion would work best with this hair style/color? Let's assume the person can not change their hairstyle to fit the look better.>I think mori kei is super pretty. But I feel like the hairstyle might not be feminine enough for it. >Amekaji looks neat. I kinda like the gaudiness of it. I don't know popular it is though. Like if you saw that outfit in America, would you be able to identify it at all. >Don't know if you would classify Sex Pot Revenge as punk/goth, or if they're considered Japanese Hot Topic. I generally like their designs though.I've also thought about kogal and egl. But I feel like the short hair disqualifies it from egl. Kogal might work though. Any suggestions?
neither
