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.

2Kawaii4Comfort just dropped a new update video. I'm jealous of everyone in ATL who is able to see the major anime update announcement at Momocon

I'm surprised no one mentioned Fame-ish yet. It was by voice actor Jeff Nimoy (Tentomon, Wolfwood) who felt like he'll always live in the shadow of Leonard Nimoy (to get it out of the way, he doesn't resent him but is tired of the jokes because people found out they're cousins).
Someone uploaded the whole thing.

Hello

I would like to cosplay Chiyo-chichi from Azumanga because he's my favourite character. Though when I search up "Chiyo-chichi cosplay" it shows full suits - which I don't really like. Any ideas on alternative ways to do a cosplay of him?

Thanks

you can print out a picture of him then paste it on your face

You could wear hats shaped like his head considering that was in the series.

What are your rare, unconventional or unpopular opinions in lolita fashion? I don’t like when girls wear gold tea parties in coords that have no gold in them, I see this particularly in sweet lolita and it gives off the same vibe as when itas wear white blouses with dresses that have no white in them, it just ruins the coord. Pic unrelated.

My first was Kaiji, I had a thrift store jacket with paper patches stuck on, a shitty wig, and the ear drill.

I've since updated it to a nicer more accurate jacket with custom patches. Still like to wear it as a more casual walking about cosplay, since most of my projects now are bulky and elaborate (currently working on a rx-78-2)

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.

LMFAO, so does everyone just have friends like this they know from middle or high school? I'm around 22 and would like to make more weeb friends that I can go to cons with and interested in social activities as well though I’m pretty shy . Nobody I’ve met up with from /cgl/ threads has ever taken issue with me being younger, though we sadly usually only have one conversation and never see each other again.

She's with that IRIAM app but I rarely see her stream and is always cancelling streams.
She seems wildly unprofessional otherwise and is always performing the same few songs. Who wants to see someone struggle through a vocally challenging JoJo's opening for the fourth time? Get some actual idol music in there.
I've heard that she's horrible with deadlines. Her covers aren't spectacular. Probably the poor mixer struggling with bad files and being sent stuff late. Is there any milk on the other IRIAM idols in that Vitality group?

>>10972232
i had such a blast personally! it really is amazing to see idol culture be so successful in the states. i know some people were speculating about if it really sold out or not, but i can confirm the entire GA floor was full. almost everyone in the venue bought merch and cheki after, so i’d say it was a huge win. chichi did nyanderful life which is one of my favorite songs, and both of them had great vocal stamina.

>ITT: Dating in the hobby

Seems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby. My ex hated cosplay and anime and it has done nothing but drive me to want to date cosplayers, more to help them afford better cosplays and all that, as well as just enjoy cons together and all that stuff. All the apps try and say that you can narrow down your search, or apps like Boo, but it just ends up being normies who either catfish or ghost.
Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit? At the same time I've found that cosplayers generally want to be left alone at cons while they do their thing.

I exclusively date men that cosplay.
>>
>>10970064
I used to think like this until I showed up to a con one time with this mindset and was talking to some cosplayer for a while after a panel. Didn't try getting her number, turns out later on she went to that con's speed dating panel. Saying women don't go to places to meet men is like saying men don't go to places to meet women.
>>
Ethics of introducing someone to this god-forsaken community aside, don't underestimate the number of weebs who think cosplay would be fun, haven't done it, but would if they had a partner to do it with. That is a much much much larger dating pool than current cosplayers.
Ask your con friends' significant others if they know anyone who's a good match. Go from there.
