>>10946268I was thinking cotton balls, but pillow stuffing is probably easier, that's a good idea anon
Any tips for making a good fireball? The premade ones sell for $100+ (which is wild) and any tutorials I've seen on youtube have a really bad end result. I'm confident on figuring out the electronics portion on my own, I'm just wondering if there's a tutorial I may have overlooked that would help me with the general shaping to make it look as good as the ones being sold.
I want to cosplay Andrei Ulmeyda from Killer7 but my friends recommend against it since I'm a white guy. Do you think I'd get complaints from con goers and staff if I were to cosplay him? not even like blackface or anything just jeans, the shirt, and an afro.
Does anyone know if I put nail polish in a silicone mold if it will harden and come out okay if I don't involve resin at all
What kind of belt-holster-thing is this? I'm plotting an XDefiant cosplay; my operator of choice has this thing on her hips, and I'm not sure what to search for to get one short of cannibalizing a weight-lifting belt or something. The flap on her leg goes down (and might attach to) a thigh holster, if that's of any help.

>>10945922She looks like a fat toddler who just discovered Sanrio. The shoes and socks are particularly grave offenders here.>>10946245The fucking jeans are sending me into orbit, holy smokes how did we get to this
>>10942932They're not even tea parties
>>10947071Idk if you are blind or what but they are definitely tea party style shoes, either real or fake
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)

>>10932062Did work for you?
>>10932142Thats like objectively wrong. Go on dating apps and see for yourself what illusionary high standards femcels, uggy and obese women have.
>>10940177The number of pejoratives in that sentence exceeds the other words 8-7.
Look at all the seething femoid whores in the thread lmao
I wish there was a better lolita snark site/secrets spot than 4chan now that BTB has been gone for three years. I want places to be mean about itas and share secrets without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.
>>10947046are crystal cafe and lolcow not any good
Most lolitas aged out of caring about drama/gossip and a lot of the newer generation grew up finding bullying lame and something you just see in older movies and shows because things like abuse and mental health are common knowledge now.
>>10947047both are still full of people screaming about the trans menace lol. just make fun of people for how they can't wear lolita right, not because of whatever gender they think they are
>>10947050just ignore those posts and post more of what you want to see?
>>10947069Hard to ignore when it's the majority of the website in general
There has been a big rise of these types of events across the country for the past couple of years. 18+ conventions aren't new, but specifically 18+ ecchi events seem to be its own kind of thing. What is more, I see a ton more sex workers at these cons, and it kind of reminds me of a porn convention. However, for some reason they still have everyone wear pasties and no one wants to be nude like a porn convention. (perhaps that is the "ecchi" part coming into play but it feels contradictory to me for some reason).Do you think these types of events are a blessing or curse for the con scene?
>>10946830I wouldn't recommend going unless its tsumicon in Vegas. The some of the others are kinda subpar and trashy. Especially the ones in Texas where people were using the community sex toy for every one to see. I think the one japan is the best it will get. >>10946309Unless you're a female, dressing sexy or there to really simp for these cosplayers, you may feel like an outsider. A lot of the cosplayers there don't mind their photos being taken like at a regular con.Also making money at these ecchi con is super easy if your a photographer. FOMO really kicks in because this is like the one time they'll wear something a very reveling outfit in public.
>>10946830Oh wow, I thought I was the only anon on /cgl/ who'd even been to cosholic, I was certainly the only Westerner there the one time I went.
>>10940346They haven't made it to my country yet
>>10944084>the 18+ conventions got hijacked by literal prostitutesSo same as normal conventions then?
>>10946066>>10946265I would pay money for that. He's lucky.
I'm a near-complete beginner to con culture and the "scene" due to zero exposure to it until recently and I have too many questions swimming around in my head that I need to ask. I've only been to a couple of small ones in my mostly-desolate area and I want to step up to traveling to bigger ones but I'm overwhelmed. Please bear with me.>Do a majority of congoers cosplay? I know it's common, but is it seen as a faux pas to not cosplay?>Likewise, is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once in a multi-day event, or to not wear it some days?>I've read a lot on this board about "after hours" events and parties that aren't scheduled by the con staff. Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them?>Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic (ones that use terms like "fandom" or "pop culture" instead of specifically "fantasy" or "otaku" or something) tend to accept all demographics? Would you be looked at weird for going to something more "western" like SDCC in an anime cosplay, or would you expect to see a lot of them? >Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby? Surely not just traffic, right?>What's a "gull"? >How do you not get sick every time you go to one? >How do you keep track of scheduling for multiple cons across multiple years? Do you get notified about them? When is "con season"?>If you're partying, how do you deal with inevitable hangovers or crashes?And some more personal questions>If you cosplay, what's normally your budget? Both in terms of time and money. >How do you make friends at a con if you're not going with a group?>How many cons do you go to yearly or on a recurring basis? There are a fuckton I want to see but I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable.Thank you for your time.

If I bought a purple hoodie, would it be possible to add markings and stuff to it so it looks like hers?How might it be done if so?
Not OP but I have a kinda weird question and I don't know where to ask it. How does one go about getting a Toku mask made? I found someone who can print stuff, but I'd need to get a mesh model for him to print, and I'm not sure it's worth it to cosplay grimdark Robot Keiji K.
More cosplay than con and a stupid question for sure, but is it true that temporary hair dye fucks your hair up? I put a lot of effort into my hair and I'm not sure whether a weekend with some temp hair dye would hurt it long-term and if I should just go for a wig instead>>10947062If you can't find a 3D model for it (or a similar-looking one like Q from SF) then you could always see about commissioning one.
Hi guys! I was wondering if someone could help me. When I was a little girl, I fell in love with lolita because I saw a video where some guy interviewed lolitas on Harajuku bridge. I'm almost 100% certain it was the girl from pic related and she showed of her giant cluster of charms on her phone or keys, can't remember which one. But I thought she was so gorgeous and wanted to be like her, I would love to see the video again or maybe find out who she is/find her socials so I can follow her.Feel free to post other cute old school videos/pics.Thanks in advance!
>>10946943I saw some thread on a japanese chat board (girls channel) from like 2016, and half the thread was women in their late 20s or 30s lamenting they were too old to wear it now (the other half was people complaining that all lolitas were ugly and fat)
>>10947002nayrt but the print is different and so are the cuts and details. It looks modern and there's no OS flair in it. It's an entirely different item from any earlier alice chess release. It doesn't look old school because it isn't.
>>10947026Girls channel is an anonymous board (like CGL), where you can't be sure if anyone actually wears/wore lolita like they claim they do/did and you can only make an educated guess from how they talk about it, so you seeing this anonymous board from 2016 has little to no relevance to comm culture from the OS era. I've seen a lot of japanese comments on japanese lolita youtube channels saying they wish they had the courage to wear it and have been consuming lolita content for years. Japan is still mostly a collectivist society, that pressure is preventing a lot of people from wearing lolita in the first place. There are evidently japanese people who wish they had the courage to wear it, and they do participate in lolita spaces that have no barriers to entry, but they're not an actual part of the lolita community because they don't wear lolita.It has been my experience that the people who stir up/create the most drama and talk the most shit don't even wear lolita.You shouldn't take anonymous boards as representative of the comm in general. A lot of actual lolitas don't even go here, the anonymous nature of the board attracts all of the weirdos with a screw loose (and people who have been kicked out of comms), and there are "lolita at heart" users on anonymous boards because everyone can just join in the discussion because there's no screening process. Most lolitas don't care about who looks ita (or at least aren't bothered enough by it to post in a thread about it) as long as they can behave normally, and most lolitas don't go on angry rants about /ugly fat lolitas either.
>>10947002I wasnt just talking about chess alice which is obviously different in several ways. But there are many new releases os won't buy simply because "full skirt" and no other reason and they are otherwise not different.
>>10947055Sorry i meant for >>10947028
I am in love with this character and I want to have her hoodie and wear it so badly for this upcoming scandinavian thing.If I buy a purple hoodie online, how can I add markings and symbols to it like you see here? I'm not sure what the correct terminology is.
>>10946960https://youtu.be/02I-31hl6hk?si=xTvsf1b6w8RB4-r-Kagerou project my beloved
>>10947034Thank you. All the Kanokido shipping that pops op when I search for her hurts my heart and makes me want to die though.

I'm heading to Epic Empires for the first time this year with a group of mates. Anyone got any advice for a first time Big Euro fest gamer?On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know if there's any bong/euro weapon makers who do threshing flails? Like the big two handed ones the hussites used.

Not sure if right thread, but Im trying to make a mace shaft. I bought some head online and its coming in, so I went to the woods and cut an ash tree down and started Im trying to aim for around 14th century for all this, moreso for reenactment and to try to do it.I shaved the bark off the tree and sanded a bit. How long should I leave it for the wood to dry? 1 week? After it dries more Ill sand it smootherHow do I mount the macehead? Its the one in the pic, it doesnt have an opening in the top so I cant do split the top an inch and put a shimmy in. Id rather not use epoxy resin and try to be """"historical"""" but if theres no good way I'll do itHow long should a 1hd mace be? The stick is 53cm/21" long.Did they historically use cord/string/leather wraps for grips? Did they carve grips in the wood? Did they just not use grips at all on this kind of peasant mace?Did they historically varnish their sticks? what did they use?Any other tips? the stick is bit curved, and 1 end is 30mm wide while the other is 40mm I found but I dont really mind, i think it looks cool (as long as its durable and doesnt break instantly)Comment too long.
