>>10930056reject modernity, embrace tradition
>>10929228There were always boothbabes and whores around that would do "sexy" versions of characters. But there were a lot less of them and they were generally looked upon with disdain, especially by other women. When did it start shifting to the norm? Maybe about a decade ago.
Remember when this Dhalsim was actually seen as normal weight?>you can see his ribsThat's actually normal. People today are just fat.Also, Crystal always had a flabby ass, look how it's hanging.
Huge ass for such a slim girl, and I can spot some cellulite. She's brave.
>>10930011Why? She doesn't cosplay anymore
decided to start my own anime con. i'm looking for advice on how to run it or stuff you guys would love to see at a con.>held at a hotel with 2 pools>more ticket sales = will expand to also rent out local bowling alley arcade>panels will be vetted by actual nerds, so you don't get "who is ash ketchum? what does yaoi mean?">r18 panels/merch allowed in separated area>baggage storage>hands-on cosplay panel tutorial where you actually make stuff>cosplay repair arealots more stuff under consideration. i'm financially prepared to eat the costs and pay for everything out of pocket and lose all the money if no one buys tickets, but i'd like to make this con fun and successful.
Hire Costhots as guests
>>10930453Do a convention every weekend that is $400 million dollars. That’s a nice chunk of change. That’s life changing wealth.
>>10930458No one is paying $400 for a shit elitist con. This isn't going to be FyreDashCon
>>10930436>No one will pay Higher pricesYou don't seem to know how the world works.10 years ago a month of groceries was 100$, now it's 300$.Gas was 2$ a gallon, now it's 5-10$.And you still pay.You can blame inflation or whatever. But People will pay. My Dad Is an accountant, and my bro has a math degree.I Know a bit about what I'm saying man.You can say it's wrong or crazy, But If you eat food or ride in cars, You prove my point.>>10930453>Pocket 4 millionComment too long.

>>10920781What's the concept of your convention that'll make it worthwhile going, outside of "It's a con I'm running myself"? Serious question. I like it when a convention has it's own identity and fosters more than just a generic community.
You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>10928088You must initiate if you have no cosplay.If you have a cosplay, and if its good, you can walk around saying nothing while people tell you how good you look.
Something necessary if a bit hypocritical: when you see any of the following posts DO NOT engage or take at face value>No one makes friends at conventions anymore>You have no chance of ever getting laid / with anyone who isn't ugly>People are always so cold / only wanna talk for a minute>Everyone will avoid you unless you're with a groupAll either demoralizing types who never go outside, or more likely, a total skill issue that's being cast as some hard universal truth
>>10928769Most of these things seem like universal truths in the Canadian cons that I've went to. People are just cold to me. Guess its the autism, noone wants to add a socially retarded male to the group. I do try though
>>10928792Never having been to a Canadian con, I'd can't confirm or deny, but there have been plenty of Leaves in my travels. Most of them are cool, and I lurk the Anime North thread each year since they're always funny. Whatever the case, those posts are especially full of shit when it's about a con I know very well. If you want people to be more loose, it's usually as easy as waiting for vendor hall to close
>>10928769demoralizing posting on 4chan in general, is at an all-time high, so posts like OPs are a shining light in this hell hole.
Trying to do my cosplay for this summer covention. First time cosplaying/crafting. What is a good way to measure a headsize for acurate printing measurements?
>>10930329It's more a joke picture, this is a reaper mask I 3D printed. It was more of a general question since my cosplay is not reaper. Printing a bunch of masks for my actual cosplay, Happy Mask Seller from Majora Mask
>>10930333Here what I kinda want, a bunch of masks from video games/anime/TV on a backpack. Mine is going to be way simpler since I cant do frabric at all.
>>10930310Either put a cube with your head's measurements in your 3D scene and use that to get the scale or cut pieces of paper with the rough shape of the mask you want until you get the desired size, then measure it and apply it to your 3D model.
>>10930334wig color is off and the seller has more of a bowl cut going on.
>>10930461Thanks for the suggestion

>>10930396> Cosplay girls are on the same tier as strippers when it comes to wife potentialPlease elaborate on this statement.
>>10930407Are you too black to comprehend it or something? It's quite straightforward. Maybe you are the retard that doesn't deserve the girl.
>>10930421It's clear that (You) personally think that > Cosplay girls are on the same tier as strippers when it comes to wife potentialI want (You) to explain why you think that, preferably with some sources and/or research. Personal experience can be used too, but I won't take it seriously (it will be just a fun read for me), so your claim will be unproven to me.
Been on local con not so long ago. Seen a few cosplayers with wedding rings, cosplayers with their husbands/boyfriends and at least one or two cosplaying couples who most likely got together this way. know a few people from old times who still cosplay, most of them are married and have kids. Meet my wife because we both were volunteers on one of first cons in our area.
>>10930427And only I remain single.>>10930396No woman wants me, dude. What regular girl will date an autistic guy? That only exists in fictional stories.

wear panties
There hasn't been one, which is good, but I want to ask who is going to the gooner con Waifu/Kimochii con and what thoughts you have on it and the loss of A-kon
>>10930321Just bad today due to the Rangers game and country music concert later, I don't imagine fri/sat parking will be as bad actually desu
Parking garage is full. They're directing everyone to Lot G, which is on the freeway next to Ojos Locos. Catch an Uber or enjoy the walk
Day 2 is a bit of a miss, surprisingly.
>>10930462Surprisingly? Anime Fest itself has been a miss for a few years.
I'm stuck here at AFest since I won't get my spot back in the garage if I leave. If anyone wants to do a meetup at the hotel bar, chime in.

>>10930439i'm >>10930397. men don't really wear lolita, though. that's why you're not finding any resources. the clothing is made for women. men interested in adjacent fashions usually wear something like aristocrat or even ouji, though still you'll mostly get women wearing those styles. if you're looking on amazon, then you're really doing it wrong. i don't think it's actually lolita that you're looking for if you're reference nier, either.
>>10930441It seems to just be much less popular, yeah. That sounded like /cc/ brainrot or larping as one, so I'm being absurd on purpose to be argumentative. I am under the impression that nier was actually based on a particular lolita genre though? not that I was going to go through with that.
>>10930439OHH you mean something like 9S? you're looking for ouji. buttcape's blog should help
>>10930443The thread for ouji seems pirate-y/nautical, does it also cover a more military (infanty) styled look? That's explicitly what I'm looking for, I didn't want to just get the nier automata characters.
>>10930449military style ouji is quite common yes

HolMat opens their idolfest applications today. Who do we want to see this year?
>>10930433No more cosplayers, no more repeats. I need HolMat to step up and match ALA in quality.

>>10929849Animate's one that uses the full MACC (unlike Mizu, Hero """Hype""", South Florida Con etc) so if you like that venue it's already hard to say no. Just a shame it's not actually anime. Never done GalaxyCon since all of them have been in other states till now
>>10930363not actually anime?
>>10930398Yeah, that it's mostly focused on Western stuff. When I went, I remember seeing a lot of attention given to Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Disney, Rick and Morty, Fallout, etc. but not really much for anime
>>10929849>>10930363Ah, yes, the MACC. That Convention Center always appears to either have its A/C broken or some very strange plumbing issues like toilet water coming from their water fountains. South Florida doesn't just have the worst conventions, but also the worst venues. Don't waste your time and money going to cons down there; it's all garbage.
>>10930401well thats good to knowi dont mind western stuff but alright >>10930425y'see im kinda indifferent although the only MACC cons i only went to was otakufest and i had a blast those times
I know it's 2 months away, but I don't have anything else to look forward to, anybody else in the same boat? I've got a Marriott Marquis room, a couple of friends, and a few cosplays I haven't worn yet. What can I do to have the most fun there?
There’s an autism panel on Friday for all you tards
>>10930330Couldn't be me! (And won't help anyone who actually shows up either)
It's been long enough now. I admit it. I'm the guy who recorded the pickle rick party rock song that was featured on /tv/ https://soundcloud.com/sirprincedrewbug/memes-aka-pickle-rock-aka-party-rick-aka-deleted-mondayI will be at Otakon, and I will see the same 4-6 people at the meetup I always do.shout outs domon, avian sewer, military seamster, guy with sword, the ones I don't remember but we drank soju. https://soundcloud.com/sirprincedrewbug/memes-aka-pickle-rock-aka-party-rick-aka-deleted-mondayit was me. it was always me. I might email snacks and see if he's gonna dj at magfest again see if I can be his hypeman and sing this and some stuff from /v/ the musical that I also did.
they should bring back speed dating
>>10930445Everytime they try to it's full of guys and a handful of girls. The last time I hosted one at a con there were only 2 girls and 28 guys. The funniest part is the girls were both lesbians and they left together 10 minutes in leaving all the guys who were incredibly socially awkward just standing around.
why do they always look like this? I call them EATAS
>>10930029>Weight loss is simple, but it’s not easy. It takes a ton and a half of self discipline and cutting out that part of you that says “I deserve a little treat” whenever something mildly frustrating happensThis is 100% true. The problem is that 90% of people lack willpower or the capacity to gain it. Most fats are fat because they are chronically allergic to even the hint of dis-comfort, tho ironically have such a severe mind/body disconnection that they don't even realize how much discomfort their overweight bodies are in. It becomes cyclical: "I'm in pain so I deserve a treat, treats make me fat, fat makes me in pain, I'm in pain so I deserve a treat" ad nauseam. Great job on the weight you've lost and the realizations you've gained! You'll fit into brand in no time :)
>>10928659sorry I didn't reply sooner my internet died.exercise isn't necessary but it makes weight loss much easier, it's a big part of the CO in CICO remember. as for your question, I feel incredible now compared to my highest weight. my knees and feet stopped hurting, I feel light and energetic all the time and I was able to start my lolita wardrobe because I actually fit the clothes. I still have some issues with my bust but I'm a large busted woman so there's not much that I can do about that anymore since my BMI is at 20 now. I started gentle weight lifting last year and my body has become toned and beautiful now
>>10930029congratulations! keep going, you'll fit in no time
>>10930361what kind of fucked up discords are you joining anon, I have never joined any lolita discords where the topic went to "we abuse drugs for weight loss" or anything even close to it
>>10930446I said it wasn't for weight loss, and that my point is no one is that concerned about the health of lolitas that abuse drugs compared to ones that are just fat.
I was wondering if I ever make a cosplay, I firstly understand what makes it bad. Even if I dress properly, make up, good wig, I feel like it would look bad anyway. I was wondering if it is something else, like face structure or just being ugly. Also not talking about cosplays that don't match body build or those that want to look bad ironically.
>>10827665not fitting well.that's literally it.but even wearing bad cosplay can be fun.
>>10918537fuck, your post reminded me of how much I was disappointed with Great Deceiverwhat a waste of a visual novel
>>10892268Pick characters that initally wear a mask/fully closed helmet.

>>10827692I've been thinking the same thing for years but never seen anybody else point it out
