10963862AMAZING post, you absolute fucking faggot
>>10963870why thank you, kind sir
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
>>10908957>>10908957I'm 33, I was at my first con ever. From my experience the biggest problem is being alone. Everyone has its own little mini social circle, and if you are this shy guy, who is alone, that's bad dude. I still enjoyed it but I couldn't shake off this feeling that "damn everyone has someone, but me" feeling.
>>10961073>Maybe 40% of the music played is anime or anime-adjacent, everything else is random EDM genresI was at Anime Expo and most of the music was bullshit and has been for years. Case in point: https://www.vidlii.com/watch?v=THRnv7BZlTuThis guy was a bit of an exception: https://www.vidlii.com/watch?v=mfIX_m3YFbBAnime Los Angeles usually isn't as bad, but this year they had the cosplay deviant dance which was just a bunch of normalfag music too
Okay, this is the last convention I'm going to with fucking zoomers. The entire weekend consisted of:1. Feeling like I'm babysitting a group of grown ass men2. Being called old in several different for liking things from five-plus years ago3. Dealing with them getting bored of events after ten minutes and having to leave the area or look at stupid shit on their phones like kids grabbing for an iPad4. Non-anime related bullshitWe all are aged 21 to 24, but the people I went with acted like emotionally (and normal) retarded iPad babies that think liking stuff that's both more than a few years old and ISN'T Five Nights at Freddies is lame. One of them hadn't figured out how to pace himself drinking nor did the others care to check up on him, so he wound up missing out on the entire weekend from light alcohol poisoning off booze that I bought. None of them knew how a grocery store worked so they often went out to expensive diners, dropped 25-35 dollars per meal (despite being "broke"), and then would BARELY TALK at the table, only muttering something about the phone game they were playing. But the worst thing was that they acted like complete normalfags at a /CONVENTION/. They barely spoke about anime and when they did they acted all uncomfortable and distant. Conventions are social events, not a "stand around other anime fans" eventI don't know if it's something about me running into people like this or if it's all of them, but I wish more young adults would fucking act like they're adults. Being emotionally and intellectually stunted isn't something to be proud of or cute. If you act like this, you aren't "cute" anymore; you're old and awkward. Have some confidence, read a fucking book once in a while, and if you don't understand something or if someone doesn't understand what you're saying, BE OKAY WITH ASKING FOR AN EXPLANATION AND/OR GIVING THEM.God it's like I'm living in a world of hiveminded eternal sixteen year olds.
>>10964082sounds like you need new friends tbqh
>>10965135I'm working on it
There are plenty of attractive white girls who cosplay, but there are no attractive white boys. Some pretty boys would fit in with the bishounen aesthetic.
>>10964810jap male school boy fits are kinda nice and non-queer looking, which is rare for j-fash, don't ask me for keywords though
>>10964822They are also relatively unknown, and getting any pop with them requires a very narrow body type.
>>10964810>There is nothing like that for menBack in the day you had Akatsuki members or Deadpools as the "generic" cosplays, but I guess the difference is that people didn't think it was awesome, and in the case of Deadpools people were actually very annoyed by them. Not really sure what the post-covid equivalent of those is. Astolfo joke cosplays were a thing for a while, but I haven't been seeing very many Astolfos at the cons I've been to recently.
>>10961495Because girls have a lot of simps to give them money.
Because "attractive white guy" is an oxymoron.
Boobanon editionLast thread autoaged and image limit>>10911148
>>10965053Why do you have to make this weird, anon? we're just appreciating boobs ITT
>>10965091Because anon is jealous of everyone
breast envy is realgirls instinctively hate other girls with big breasts
>>10965091It is true though that she didn't even iron her costume and relied solely on her boobage
>>10965118It is, I experienced it a lot in my life and only understood it when I became an adultThat's why I'm not mad at nonna here
Hello my southern anons! Has anyone been to animate or any of the cons in NC? Are they well attended? What type of cosplay do you see?
i've been to ichibancon... i don't really remember the cosplays i saw, but i do remember seeing a few lolitas... is anyone going to ichibancon 2026?
>>10964732I remember seeing a while back that there was something about the owner of Ichibancon being kind of blacklisted in the area so they can't move or something, which is why they've been stuck at that one venue despite it being overcrowded. I don't quite remember the details.
>>10964790Maybe. I go to NC State and just see a lot of Lolitas on campus.
>>10964679My partner and I regularly go to GalaxyCon (the big big one in Raleigh) and Animate!GalaxyCon has always been great, except the crowds are enormous and its hot as balls outside. If you cosplay, people are super friendly and like to chat (the overall vibe feels that way). If you get the attached hotel its 100% worth it.Animate! is newer but so far awesome, it's like a smaller GalaxyCon, less crowded and just as fun.. I haven;t had a bad experience (so far). Going as Qrow to Animate! In January since his VA will be there.One pro-tip: The best event is the "Masquerade Costume & Performance Competition", it's usually on the last day. It's not a Masquerade but a straight-up talent show, and people go all out on skits and songs with their cosplay. It's so, so good, I look forward to it every year.Second, the cosplay wrestling is super fun. Watching Ms. Trunchbull beat the shit out of vanellope von schweetz is awesome, even if you have no interest in wrestling itself.
>>10965077Thanks for the info! I actually live in the triangle so hotel won't he necessary. I bought tickets for the last day so this seems like its a lot of fun!
hi!! first time poster, but wanted to show off my proshot images!! this is my favourite but i have more!!
>>10944375hey anon, i think your makeup is cool and i am always happy when i see people try unconventional things.i think it looks good with your piercings and your face looks normal.
Will this thread last until Christmas?
>>10961696Maybe
Uh?
>>10963850Uh what?
We're once again approaching the time for AWA. Anyone here going? Any interesting cosplays you're working on? Will there be a /cgl/ meetup? Dates are December 18th through December 21st, 2025, located at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C.
>>10964733Certified big lady enjoyer>>10964728Gaming isn't as good as more gaming centric cons like Momocon but the artist alley and cosplay scene are both awesome at AWA.
>>10964731>Signia has a club add-on for a lounge with unlimited drinks between 5-7 PMWe've done this for AWA last year and Momo earlier this year. Highly recommend. You don't need to worry about food either.
AWA month has finally arrived. I'm tentatively planning a couple of cosplays but nothing concrete yet. What will everyone be going as this year?
>>10963829Go to the Residence Inn nearby, still a lot of rooms open, good prices and not too far of a walk. No need to get hysterical that you don’t have a host hotel, lots of good places nearby, basically the same thing.
>>10964399that probably has as much to do with the time of year as anything else.

Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?OR is it because I'm male?How do you even make friends at a con?I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people. There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.
what would happen if i wrapped an arm around a cosplayer's waist while taking a pic with her?
>>10963238Cancelled on instagram, probably banned from the con
||lol||
>>10908990lolever met Melonpan?
>>10963855>MelonpanWho is that?
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.
>>10959954in my experience everyone is fine, the only exception is bronies. They have to be the least self aware autismos.
I thought a congoer was someone who comes from the Congo
Hello, gulls.Complete neophyte to costume making and cosplay, but I wanted to get into it for some Halloween parties coming up.I want to do the Flagellant from Darkest Dungeon, given that he seems relatively simple to assemble.Questions for the experienced as I blindly throw myself headfirst into this:- The leg and arm wraps are easy enough (gauze rolls dyed with black acrylic paint), but how do I make the stud looking things in his arms? I'm pretty sure in-game they're metal bars impaling him, but I like to un-impaled.- What material do I use for the hood? It needs to cover the eyes but I'd like to be able to see. Is cotton muslin sheer enough to hide the eyes will still allowing vision, or do I use something else?- I can't tell if his skirt would be made by a single piece of fabric wrapped around the waist, or if it should be cut from a larger piece. If it is cut, what shape do I make? I was thinking a diamond shape, with the top and bottom points longer than the sides (to cover in front and behind but leave room in the sides to move), and then cutting out a portion in the middle of the diamond to wear it. I'm very new to fabric work so please tell me if I'm being retarded and overthinking this.- For the flail/collar/bracelet, do I stick to EVA foam, or is there a chance I can (on the cheap) make them out of actual metal? Granted, I have basically no tools or experience for metalworking, so I think this is kind of a long shot.Additionally, I've never touched EVA foam in my life. Do I have someone make them for me (please give trusted vendors) or do you think I could do it with some good tutorials (please give me good tutorials). I've got about 2 1/2 weeks to make this work, and I think it can done in that time.Thanks in advance, frens.
How do I get patterns for free?If I just show reference photos to a tailor will that be just as good?
>>10962134from teh interwebz
There are some characters like Ada, Boa, and Nico, whose outfits have slits at the lower parts, enabling them to show more leg.When I ask to take pictures of these cosplayers, how do I get them to show more leg?

Month early editionDecember 19 - 21, 2025 Hyatt Regency O'Hare9300 Bryn Mawr AveRosemont, IL 60018 Will we see our regulars at this calm and near barren con? A far 2nd place from Anime Zap with sub 100 attendees. CAD still gets its activity and a reason to do something in December, the festive season.
>>10964975CAD was fun as hell last year.This year doesnt have the panels I was hoping would make a return (hopefully they realized Kopf is a greasy pedo and went to better cons like magic/ACEN).But still a decent selection.
>>10965093>chicago room parties>4chan>normaltheres the clique that roofies you and gets a girl to rape you while claiming you raped her with videos, THAT is who hosts room parties here.The other clique doesnt advertise their room parties on 4chan
