>>10967158I doubt lesbians are interested in meSince all I want is to watch them...
It's cool that we have a local thread! I'm going to Dokomi (same as most people here probably) but I don't have any other plans. Are any of the cons in Berlin good? I know LBM is kinda nearby and it's pretty well known, maybe I should head there.
>>10967274Berlin Mex is popular, but i haven't been yet. Am considering it this year though, and as you said I'll go to Dokomi. I would've preferred to go to Connichi because of the weather but couldn't get time off approved for it. Not a cosplayer though but going in j-fashion
There being no cons near me in the next months really saved me from buying pretty expensive clothes that I have no intention of wearing outside a costume I would look CRINGE in, unless a nuclear winter happens
SoCurrently at Kokorokon near ViennaAnyone else here?I was at the speeddatingGot no match
Does anyone know any online stores that sell cosplay costumes of Chuuya Nakahara from Bungo Stray Dogs? I need the outfit by March 6th and if I order from China it won't arrive on time
>>10968007Have you tried the usual sites like Miccostumes and Dokidoki?I went as Dazai once and bought it from Dokidoki https://dokidokicos.com/collections/bungo-stray-dogsJust prepare yourself on the chance a bpd fujoshi approaches you

How unbelievably stupid of an idea would it be to ask one of my favorite artists out on a date at a con?I already know it's a bad idea, I'm wondering just how bad of an idea it is.
Hey all, I’ve recently been going down the rabbit hole of wanting to dress up in kinda cute femboy-ish or feminine cosplay, but I’ve got kind of a muscly frame. Idk how to size things properly, or even if most cosplay patterns of that kind out there accommodate for my frameAny advice on shopping for those kind of outfits? Websites to use/avoid, sizing advice, materials to try/avoid, characters that fit the bill, etc would be much appreciated!Pic related is the kind of cosplay I’d go for, same kind of outfit and pattern
>>10965415I suppose the way I worded it in my post was less than clear, but the way you describe it is the way I mean!I mean wearing clothes typically reserved for feminine bodies while I have a non-feminine body. I just wanna know how to make it look good on my frame>>10965410These are good pieces of advice, so I’ll likely try out some very tight clothes, cut/sew them in the general mockup of what I want, and see if I can make it work on my body. I’d imagine I’ll be using a lot of spandex or other stretchy fabrics to accommodateIdk what kind of build I’d describe myself as, but pic related is me
>>10965364I feel like nowadays crossplaying is very accessible; if it looks good it looks good, but if it looks bad most people won't say anything because they don't want to come off as transphobic. So don't be afraid if your crossplay will look a bit off. Also you're putting a lot of thought into it, so the result will likely look better than half the AliExpress cosplays you'll see on con floors these days anyway.I don't have any real advice for you other than don't assume they won't have your size. The sizes for modern womens' clothing range from little girl to hamplanet, so you'll have a better time finding something that'd fit you than you would have a decade ago when buff dudes were doing gag Misty crossplays.
>>10965364If your frame is too muscly, you can'tGo for the "manly Sailor Moon" look like pic related instead
>>10965364u can do those ironic buff guy bunnysuit cosplays
>>10965364I'm actually starting to make patterns and sew for guys who want to wear those types of costumes. Be on the lookout on here and in the /diy/ sewing thread for when I get it spun up.
ill be in japan for 2 weeks (tokyo, kyoto, osaka), and i dont know where to look for jfashion. i'd like to know relatively non-touristy thrifts/stores with relatively cheap clothes (id like to spend around 20000 yen). i prefer ouji but id also like some lolita accesories. thanks in advance </3

Alright I think it's pretty safe to say Otakufest isn't in June anymore. And for the three of you who still care, Mizucon is only 2 days. Sunday and Monday of all things
>>10968093>mizu is 2 days i had a conversation with my cosplayin buddies last night on how grim soflo cons are whatever dates otaku drops well be there
>>10968113This is their last chance for me. FOUR other major cons all on those same days, and I'll never see any of em if I keep giving Mizu a pass. The venue isn't even listed yet either

>>10968115Myself Im past 30 and most crossplayers I know are my age or very close to my age. You will do fine with your age
softmary anon from last thread here. i’m not sure if it’s due to how i handled them or if it’s because the material was cheap, but they ripped at the arm-boob area. i suspect it was because of the way i was putting them on more, but i guess that’s what happens when you buy from amazon. they were too small for my build anyway. i was luckily able to get a full refund. i’m thinking maybe i size up with a plus size with a different brand, but i also don’t want it to become a whole cycle.
I don't know where to ask, so i ask here.I want to make cosplay of Toga like on this image, but I can't find longsleeve like this.Any ideas, where I can find and buy it?
>>10968125thanks for the (You)!>Age isn't something people worry too much about and I'd guess you're right about average anyway, maybe even lower.oh thanks, that's reassuring.>there's a shortlist of characters that signal you're an Anon (i guess you mean 4chan user?)i mean, isn't that the truth? it's fine, maybe even funny. i had a couple more similar character in mind too>>10968129ok, that's reassuring as well. maybe i was stressing it too much.
>>10968115Please, crossplay or not, use a wig. Humans don't have the hair density to do anime characters. With a wig you can closely match the colour and hairstyle without being limited by your hair.
>just over a month away>no threadSeriously what happened? I heard some BS happened last year but it wasn't bad enough to wipe discussion off the board was it? Just got my room filled and looking forward to it.
>>10967915so you don't know
Finally, outside the hall on the first day.
ACTUAL final post: Having to walk two miles to my car to change cosplays wasn't very fun, but there were a few zoomers that liked my costume
>>10968066based. Too bad it seems that the "con community" is getting so extremely PC or else i'd cosplay something like that. All it takes is one seething black chick to post a blurry photo of you while complaining about "cultural appropriation" or "racism" or "nazi" and suddenly you're basically banned from every con ever.Maybe i just need to find a black guy to do a "pool's closed" cosplay while I do a "pool's open"
>>10968073>complaining about "cultural appropriation" or "racism" or "nazi" and suddenly you're basically banned from every con ever.Maybe that was the case in 2015, but I don't think it is anymore. Also that wouldn't affect me since no one caught my name anyways.
larp thread again as the previous one is yet again in auto sagenow 37,8% slower than everprevious thread>>10873579
Why do Americans allow this, much less use it in advertising?
>>10967759because they actually want this. Which is sad to some degree but on the other hand every moment of my life when it's not my problem is basically ecstasy
>>10967759Low effort, and no self-respect. But there are games with standards, like Gropey plays in.
>>10967927This. Also that's a shitty battlegame, and it attracts insecure people who think they won't be seen as nerds if they don't out effort into anything except combat. The irony being that they still mostly fucking suck at fighting, and if you go to a major event in the US, you'll see people in good kit absolutely murdering these idiots. There's also just the problem where larpers in the US are just weird demographically and tend to be mentally ill losers. Pointing out that they could spend the same money to look much better provokes defensiveness and excuse making. My favorite is the >We don't have as much disposable income as eastern Europeans Cope that comes around.The culture IS changing, but it's slow. We'll get there in a decade.
>>10937213Is there in this here website a thread for 20th century re-enactment? There's this thread, of course, but it's more medieval focused than anything.
reviving bc the previous thread from a while ago got nukedwhat's everyone's thoughts on cosplay photography in 2024/the foreseeable future? it seems like the amount of bullshit we have to put up with as photographers in the cosplay scene only increases day by day and the cons outweigh the pros
>>10964241And now she’s deleted the doc and filtered her comments kek. I hope she learns a real, hard lesson from this. Knowing her though, she won’t.
>>10914831mmm so make this brief to me, a guy that isnt really into cosplay and much of a tourist in this board. Hows the interaction between phtographer and cosplayer? like you simply took the photo and leave or do you share it with the cosplayer?
>>10966192A good photographer will let the cosplayer know where to find it afterward. Bonus if they have business cards.
>>10964241>>10964263why defamation? she isnt wrong
>>10966210She was wrong, because she had no proof on everyone that was named. She was literally just running with gossip and looking to make clout off of it which does more harm than any good.
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.
Every time I see two ppl talk about lolita online, they're both trannies. I need to escape to Asia
>>10967706Found the coping Trump supporter Not everyone is ok with having their hobby get 20% more expensive just because Daddy said so.
>>10967706>just support American brandsdo you...do you know the state of most American brands?? Not even close in comparison to quality of what Japanese brands offer.
>>10968016>the state of American brandsyou mean like Lina from A. Gato Designs with her troon "wife" and a link to her sex shop at the bottom of her lolita site? kek
how do I rock epic lolita co-ords every day?
>what?an anime convention that stopped being good years ago>when?April 3rd-5th>where?Seattle Convention Center, Washingtonhttps://sakuracon.org/Hopefully it sucks less this time around!
Gonna be Ryu from Ninja Gaiden (nes version) on Friday.
>>10968005Hmm, then I guess i will probably go as Kaiki.
>>10968041>>109668952 Ryus..... thats quite a statistical anomaly
>>10966796this is the version of araragi i will be going as, if someone wants to do school or casual araragi thats ok too and for Ryu im doing his outfit from the 3D games specifically his Ninja Gaiden 3 outfit
