Is there a way to change the phone number of your TB account? It won't let me log in unless I use a two-step authentification and I don't have that phone anymore...
I've been getting this error for to days now with none of the solutions stated in its link working. I'm using a verified account that's many years old, but I can't click anything anymore without that popping up and using a different internet connection also doesn't change anything.
Has anyone ordered from Sosic recently? I ordered two pairs of tea parties on 18th May and the ETA on the listing is 15 days, which has obviously come and gone. My SS is now saying they’ll cancel and refund unless I ask them not to in the next 72 hours.Wat do
>>10914677It happened to me too, I ordered from them but since they didn't deliver in time my SS cancelled.
ITT: We post pictures of cosplay from the 90's or early 2000's.
>>10911790nta but i feel this. there are still some people who do it but it's not the same most people only craft or sew to show it off for e-clout. i remember being excited when i drafted my own patterns or designed my own wig, but the only people i shared that with were my friends and people at the con. now people just ask where you got your cosplay, they assume you bought it.
>>10914323Oof, that poison ivy thot is on point
>>10911790i feel this is the same with anime itself. it used to be that you waited years for a single new anime to get released in the west, it was easy to know like all 10 anime that existed total and everyone had the same frame of reference. people just rewatched or reread the same series for years because that was all they had, so cosplaying from it was also a natural choice. but now you can watch the entire new broadcasted lineup of anime the same day it all comes out in japan and there are multiple broadcast seasons a year, there is too much too fast so most people don't get into the series as deep because they just switch to the next new thing immediately after they finish the previous thing.
>>10886605So cool. Back when nerds were nerds. Absolutely lovely thread. Man, I remember being so entranced by anime back then. It was such an exotic mysterious world from a far away land. It had so much style. I was so cool. I wish I was older back then. I could've had so much fun with this stuff.
>mfw realizing cosplay is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10878507Just cover your ugly ass
>>10878507And yet I'll do it anyways.
>>10878600Most hobbies don't do that actually
Literally just stop being fat
>>10914442>show someone a basic crochet >OMG ANON SO CUTE YOU SHOULD START A BUSINESS>show someone some basic anime art'>WOW ANON YOU'RE SO GOOD!>show someone cosplay>heh. isnt that kinda embarassing?
I fucked up the title of the last thread and put Anime Weekend Atlanta.Anyone going to Momocon? Dates are Friday, May 24th through Monday, May 27th at the Georgia World Congress Center. Have any cosplay plans? Doing any interesting panels? Selling anything?
>>10909646>pics that go hard
>>10914174Friday, 11:30 PM.Not gonna lie it’s pretty fucking gay that they’ve changed the way badge pick up works for panelists. Last year I got to pick up my badge at will call and now I have to wait in line. Very sad
>>10914284Lines for registration aren't really a problem at momocon, they really nail this part of the con
I’ll see you next week
Why isn't the panel schedule printable outside of Google drive
What would be the best material to make a suit of power armor? Small pieces of 3d print, foam? Should I design it in the early fallout slimmer style or the later fallout mech style?
>>10911781I can offer no advise, but please do post pictures of the work in progress and finished results.
>>10911781Would this armor look weird on a 5’7 guy? Also how do I figure out sizing?
>>10912423box stilts
As someone who has made 3D printed power armor (Not Fallout).Don't do it, it's just too heavy. I don't know what the right answer is because I really like the sharpness and symmetry of prints. I really want to try a mix of foam and prints but I'm not there yet>>10912423The helmet will help, but the in-game model also has like 6" of stilts in them so it probably would look of not to tower over peopleCheck out some software called Armorsmith for sizing, basically punch in your measurements and you can snap pieces onto an avatar and tweak on sizes

Have many anime cons outgrown their current convention centers / venues?Anime Expo and Katsucon both seem at their limit
How did Otakon do in DC? Haven't been since like 2016 or something.
>>10909918Daniel?
I know that's why Anime Weekend Atlanta had to swap venues. I'm gonna miss that convention center!
>>10909959Nope, Anime Boston recently signed contracts keeping them in the Hynes currently up to 2028. It's also been said that the BCEC layout/configuration does not align to what Anime Boston wants to do/offer.
>>10911461It shrank down to about 24,900 in 2017-first year in DC, climbed up to about 28,500 in 2018 & 2019. Coming back from COVID in 2021, it shrank down to 25,564 despite only having a masking requirement. It climbed to about 40,500 in 2022 (in part due to AnimeNEXT's issues in 2022) and to about 42,000 in 2023.
So I'm trying make the weapons in pic related and I was wondering what materials I should use.
>>10910692Real metal. Go hard or go home.
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
>>10904973Really wish I could have gotten one of the merbella ones. Sigh.
>it's summer againAny plans?
>>10913849Workout until i attain my ideal merman body
>>10913849Trying to organize a big swim meetup for all the mermaids in my area at a pretty area, a very nice natural spring... but it's several hours away so not sure how many people will end up coming. Me and one other mermaid are committed but I have the feeling a lot of people saying "yes!" right now are going to bail closer to the date. But even if it's just us two we'll still enjoy it at least.I'm also trying to make more jewelry for myself. Bracelets and such out of cultured pearl beads, so I can stop using plastic ones when I swim.
Heya /cgl/! I made the decision to give cosplaying a try. I cant describe how much i enjoyed it, especially because im a very extroverted person. What do you guys think of my first cosplay? :]
>>10898637>even when cosplaying a CRT they still dress like slutstiresome
I'm going to do my first cosplay soon too.
>>10909969Me too anonTomorrow in fact
>>10909969>>10909995what did y'alls cosplay as?
>>10912307Denji from Chainsaw Man
I just started new journey of cosplay! Please support me on this new journey.
>>10913302I use very good perfume!
>>10913309i fear men on 4chan
>>10913299Looks good.
>>10913299slightly showing your panties, good whorish move
>>10913299>>10913313Looks rad!
It's been 10 years Are cons safer now?Anyone encountered any con creeps?I (male) got my butt grabbed by another guy once, didn't bother me desu (not gay)
>>10910868May I grab your ass, please?
>>10910437MaleNeither of us in cosplay
>>10910436>Go to convention notorious for arguably autistic, and socially starved "losers" (This was back when anime wasn't cool">Wear literally nothing>Be attractive>Oh jeez, why are all these ugly men looking at me (aka giving me the attention I wanted, just not from ugly men)This is why nobody listened to women until about 15 years ago. They throw themselves into the lions pit, wanting attention of the alpha lions, then wonder why they got attention from *all* the lions. Honestly I don't even look at this image as a bad thing, I see it as a remarkable achievement of western culture, a woman can wear basically nothing and at most she gets some ugly blokes staring if not taking a photo (which is expected at a convention anyway), if you had a woman showing her ankle in say the middle east or India, she would have got raped for "being such a slut".Basically:>Ignore women complaining, they love the attention, they just hate that ugly men exist and have eyes as well>The West is great and champions against fighting monkey brain thoughts
More to add to my collection
>>10914505Skimpy cosplayers know they are going to get attentionIts not that they hate attention they just want people to be respectfulLook but do not touch
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
>>10863278Honestly as someone in the competitive scene this show is like crack to me and my friends. Competitive cosplayers are just /like/ that, the show is spot on with the ridiculousness and how life or death serious people get stressed over it
>>10911577I just finished the first episode and I agree. This is pretty accurate to how intense/emotional some of these people can get with this competition. On that note, the difference between the contestants who are treating the cosplay contest as a life or death situation vs the ones that are having fun with it is night and day. One of the contestant's perfectionism resulted in her completely skipping the competition.
>>10912048Agree, will say it's also super interesting to rewatch the show through the 2024 lens of competitive cosplay, where we have so much more available technology that is the norm in contest cosplays now. Seeing a pre-3d printer competitive scene was great
電車男 (Densha Otoko). Although it's an exaggerated comedy and not directly related to cosplay, it's one of the few series I've seen that still pretty accurately portrayed anime nerds and 4chan-esque culture (there are a couple cosplayers/LARPers featured in it) in many respects. I recommend the TV series over the book.
>>10912087So I'm 5 episodes deep into this show and here are some moments that stood out.1) One contestant wearing wool that she is allergic to. Which made her so sick before a cosplay skit she ended up puking before going on stage, only to do a performance that no one understood or enjoyed.2) Yaya Han having this weird beef with Jessica Nigri over her doing lewd cosplay. It turns out they're friends in real life and the show overdramatized it simply because Jessica didn't want to be on the show.3) Monika Lee saying to another cosplay that "you'd be the last person I'd team up with" was just a dickhead way of going about that. It's fine to not want to collab with people, but she could have had more tact.
I did a jax cosplay and at least 3 women wanted me to fuck them what the fuck is wrong with people.
>>10910877>jaxWho?
>>10912152league of legends character
>>10912152what a hottie!(what r the odds they r both purple)
>>10910877You see that video of the Michael Myers pretending to choke a woman? The look of pure bliss on her face was something.
>>10910877You made them fear for their lives and they tried to preemptively appease you. It's a classic female survival tactic, which is why you see women flock to abusers and psychos.
