>>10910802The raisin is indeed going to this con. He is going to continue his reign of terror by feeding people oatmeal raisin cookies to unsuspecting congoers who are expecting to bite into a delicious chocolate chip cookie… we must stop this monster

>>10910401Reusable water bottles with straw lids and leakproof spouts exist, they're basically adult sippy cups lol
>>10910427They have really good English support so you could always try emailing to ask? I wouldn't stress out about it. They might have just removed the page because the next UTK restock/release will have some minor difference in construction so it will need a new page. Maybe they're going to start offering regular and plus size socks or something.
Anyone know of raincoats that work with gothic and classic?
>>10910634Lumiebre sells raincoats. Haven't tried them personally. I have one from AatP, but it's not been in stock for a while.
>>10902546just get it shipped to your hotel
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.
>>10910609This. SO MUCH THIS. It's SO over, bros. It has NEVER been more over than this. It will be MORE over than this with every passing second *though*
>>10910621It gets like that with anything. Any band, any movie series, any "scene". Never gets as good as it was.To quote Robert Frost"Nothing gold ever stays"
Where can I buy a custom wig? Specifically a Yotsuba wig.
Where can I find people cosplaying Madoka?
>>10910636I met one at Huntsville Expo this past weekend actually, in the cosplay contest signups. She was super chill.
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
>>10900752You'll grow out of it once you hit 30. There's no one worth befriending at anime cons, trust me.
>>10909026Zoomers literally hate anyone above the age of 24 lol I met some in my early 20s like me and they made fun of my 28 year old friend before I told them to fuck off. ALA is the worst with this btw.
>>10910682i should have specified because that's my experience basically with zoomer guys, girls however seem to think they're all shining beauties even though they don't know how the fuck to do makeup.
>>10910751In general, women at cons aren't worth interacting with to befriend or even have friendly conversation with, even as another women. They literally all have superiority complexes, and to be fair, it's not hard to have one when you consider that 95% of the men there are tripping over themselves to find their precious congoing gf. Sometimes you can find normal, funny dudes though.
>>10910671>but we might get a presidential suite at ALA so, that’s pretty cool. Yo, I was planning on trying to hit ALA for the first time this year and I would kill to get that kind of party there, as someone who direly needs more friends and especially more confriends.When you say friend list do you mean like Facebook, Discord, what?
Post kumya themed coords, kumya collections, etc.

>>10909042All the girls who go to these things are fat pigs with cum leaking out of their pussies and asses in hell
>>10910508yeah, my cum
>>10910508Unfortunately accurate. The amount of overweight women in crappy cosplay is unfortunate.

Will there be any good pre-made fallout jumpsuits released now that the show is a success? I got this micco one and it’s good but a really high quality one would be better.
Fallout is dead. It will now be infected with normalfags that only play the Bethesda games. Do whatever you can to distance yourself from it.
>>10910153Fallouts pre-Bethesda were pointless to cosplay because resolution of outfits was incredibly low you braindead /v/ professional noplayerWhere it died was with Fallout 4

>>10909590I'll be traveling down for metro. My body is ready!
>>10909590I'll be going to metrocon and Sarasota Anime-Fest if anyone wants to meetup, I'm going by myself so looking for new buddiesdisc: kiaser
>>10910759What's your lineup for metro?
>>10910720>>10910759>>10910768Is there something to Metrocon that I'm not getting? I went three years ago and was pretty underwhelmed desu
>>10910773Some years are better than others. I just enjoy going when I'm off work and seeing old con buddies down in Florida.
I'm too old to understand this subculture please enlighten melike how do you feel when you larp as an anime character makes you feel like
>>10896009Borderline Personality Disorder, unironically. Look up the narcissist-borderline cycle.
i love making stuff. same as anyone who likes woodworking or spinning pottery.i love anime and japan. but you usually get a ton of crap like weebs who've only seen 2010s mainstream shit and who never learned japanese (i'm far from perfect, but at least i've passed jlpt n1). i like feeling at home with my weeb level at a con. i feel odd at cons if i dont cosplay. and i would love to wear weeb shit like geta every day but that's unacceptable for a white guy so i cosplay semi-traditional characters instead. i like feeling like someone else.secretly i hope if i cosplay at a con someone'll wanna fuck. i've only ever been in serious relationships brought on by love confessions, i'd love to experience a one-night stand.
>>10895583Halloween was always my favorite holiday, guess that carried onto adulthood with better excuses to dress up.
I just do it because I hope it will help me make friends and maybe a gf (male) someday
>>10895906>>10896115way too many larpers and retards itt. you felt nothing wearing it because you bought shitty mass produced chinese crap at goodwill and threw it on like a kid playing dress up. maybe lolita just isn't your style, but you weren't wearing lolita, so how could you know? without investing time into learning about the fashion, its history, and each of its coordination elements, you're going to look like shit. enjoy your $5 poly sack you obnoxious autist. >its like putting up a christmas tree. it's no good if you just "Wear it"lolita fashion is clothing. it's not cosplay. it's designed to be regularly worn. your "reason" to wear it is that it's fucking cute and makes you feel good about yourself. as someone who also has mostly traditionally male hobbies, the way you dress has nothing to do with what you do in your free time. and if some dumbfuck moid giving you a hard time over your frilly dresses makes you want to stop wearing them, then lolita is not the fashion for you.
iirc it happened to take place around the 2010's with either the new 52 and/or the suicide squad movie but i'm not sure on how everyone decided to start dressing up as her(for that matter, did any major (cos)player dress up as her prior to 2011?)

>>10910389honestly i doubt the bodysuit is considered "slutty" as it werehonestly it's more covered-up/kid-safe
>>10910417Forgive me for staring.
>>10910426Bruv that’s JNig, she wants people to stare. That’s what her whole career is based on
>>10910187update from the man himself: i totally miscalculated the “when”
What's the best community? If you could just magically wake up already living in the city with the comm of your choice, where would it be and why?Are there any comms that you feel are too far gone and better left given up on to dissolve by their own internal squabbling?
>>10910730Ayrt and some people can’t tan naturally, which I believe is something you may be confused about. Of course most Asians won’t be type 1 but that’s up to genetics and not necessarily your race. Like >>10910738 stated there was a combination of both. Sun damage wasn’t a worry in the 90s but if your one of the lighter skin types you can find that out for yourself.
>>10910738AYRT, yeah, i think we're on the same page here! the reason tanning was popular in the first place was because social norms idealised paler skin as a holdover from when how tan someone was indicated how much field work they did, and lightening creams were extremely popular. gyaru rejected this norm by tanning their skin. the bleached hair comes from something similar-- bleached hair used to be banned from most schools and even some workplaces, and sometimes associated with delinquency. both come from a place of rejecting homogeneity. but i mostly brought it up because the whole "it's racist to tan" thing is just feels delusional with the context that a lot of girls were using their own natural melanin and as a result of the delusion now gyaru has lost all of its subversive aspects and feels purely mainstream.
>>10910727>You should also consider the fact that gyaru depleted in popularity after Gyaru magazines started pushing light skinned gals with no extreme make up as their models.this isn't true at all. it wasn't certain substyles, it was a personal choice, many girls chose not to tan during the most popular point in gyaru because it was very mainstream during the 2000s up to 2010. the only real "style" that requires tanning is kuro because it's in the name. many of the ones involved in hostess culture, followers of ayumi hamasaki, hime-kei wearers and anyone wearing "pop gyaru" never tanned at all. even back in the 90s level of tanning different among gyaru themselves. gyaru didn't die during this time and flourished up until around 2015 where it slowly began gaining influence from instagram on the easily accessed global internet. that's what killed gyaru. not the lack of tanning or tanning or anything related to i. gyaru was only super rebellious for a super short time and then it became worn by attractive girls trying to emulate western trends they saw in videos/magazines. it influenced hostess/host and kyaba culture, music and many forms of media. the reason it's shit now is because of globalization and trend hopping due to tiktok. i suggest you actually do more research into gyaru and what it was and what it evolved into because the shit it is now is a natural progression from what it was in the 2000s.
>>10910730Gyaru often wore foundation on their faces an tanned their face lighter. It was fairly known in Japan/EA that tanning caused wrinkles at the very least. A lot of gyaru used bronzer and darker shades from the US instead of actual foundation(as well as stuff that wasn't even makeup) to achieve the dark tone and makeup looks of the 90s. There are many resources and documentaries that showcase this stuff if you know where to look. I can link some that are available on youtube.>>10910727Most of what you're saying isn't really true and gyaru definitely was booming when less girls were tanning. It was the most popular "style" for a good decade, and was worn by many big popstars of the time. Gyaru only started dying when western internet was more easily accessible, so they could just copy western trends instead of inventing stuff. That's not to say it's not a shame, but what you're saying is disingenuous.
>>10910744>the whole "it's racist to tan" thing is just feels delusional with the context that a lot of girls were using their own natural melaninNTA, but that's the part that's racist apparently. many black women are bitter at lighter skinned women(including other black women) that they are able to tan and it goes away. also i think you are focusing too much on gyaru being rebellious when it was only rebellious for a very short time as other anons have said.
What are your thoughts on dark elves?
>>10910530The difference is that it's dark brown, not an unnatural color like metallic or hot pink. You can't put body paint on for any shade that can be natural in the US and get away with it.Also Frieren's skin only shows for her face (ears), hands, and a tiny sliver of neck and upper chest. It is really just face/hand painting to change you skin color for her and even harder to pass publicly.
>>10910625My point is that I do not understand why you would want to see someone cosplay a boring recolor in the first place
>>10910632because it's legendaryYou can get two Frieren cosplayers face off and recreate the battle scene.have you not seen people who cosplay the statue versions?
>>10910729>have you not seen people who cosplay the statue versions?nope
Why don't black people choose race-appropriate characters instead of embarrassing themselves like this.
