Kumoricon happens on November 8th to November 10th 2024 in Portland, Oregon>Are you going?>Do you have a hotel?>What's your cosplay lineup >Stories from Kumoricons past>General Kumoricon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)Me, the humble OP? I'm going to be partying hard.
>>10938315if only i lived in the U.S. ;-;
>>10938315>Are you going?Yup.>Do you have a hotel?Staying at Eastlund again, come by if you want to drink. I went home with a surplus of alcohol last year.>What's your cosplay lineupN/A >Stories from Kumoricons pastThis is only #2 for me and I learned Kumo is about as much of a party con as Sak.>General Kumoricon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)Zero plans, haven't even looked at the guest list. Last year we went to a kickass hole in the wall Chinese place but unfortunately I can't remember the name or specifically where it was. All I can tell you is it was about a 30-minuite walk from the con center. Can also vouch for Metropolitan Tavern. It's on the pricey side but the food is solid.
Looks like the schedule is out despite no announcement yethttps://www.kumoricon.org/events
This is a new spot for registration, right? Hope this doesn't cut the market space too much
>>10940010>All day karaokeBased. Rare. Biblical. MAJESTICAL. If it's Youtube / official instrumentals instead of MIDI crap, they've earned my undying gratitude
>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplay God-damned be Demon slayer and those trendy stuff, I want to see big tactical butts and awesome costumes.
>>10934436Any con above a certain size is guaranteed to have a Final Fantasy X squad

>>10940073One I found two months ago at DragonCon
I haven't seen one single good one and the worst part they act all autistic and annoying at cons.they are a plague.
>>10940044>Create a thread asking about why fans of a series are bad>Get an answer you don't like>Get defensive about it and try to project that seethe onto me>No actually I never even cared about this fandom What are we doing here? Is somebody taking care of you?
>>10939822I’m sorry but this is cope. MHA is way more annoying, they have Koreaboo contamination. I know because I’ve been in both fandoms. At least there are pockets of sanity in the Hazbin fandom. MHA people are turbo tumblerites.>>10939695Not all of them are. I don’t go to cons very often, but I was very impressed by this Vox cosplayer at FanExpo Dallas. Hazbin is the new Homestuck, and with big fandoms that’s where you get beginner cosplayers more often right? That’s probably why a lot of them suck. This guy stayed in character and was super nice. :) I thought the monitor set up he had was super immersive, he could make it switch features for different emotions and had a hypno animation screen.>>10939961Autistic Queers have the capabilities of being incredibly talented. Look at the fursuitists. It’s just because it has broad appeal and its large and introductory for new fandom enjoyers.There are talented people in all of these fandoms but the bigger the fandom=the worst the cosplays because you simply have more. More mass produced slop costumes, more beginners, more people from varying backgrounds.
>>10940046K >>10940047I'm sorry pal,but that still looks like shit.he could at least iron his damn costume first.>At least there are pockets of sanity in the Hazbin fandomNice joke there
Kill it with fire!
>>10939695Because it got rollover from the Homosuck fanbase. It will always attract shit cosplay.
Only asians can cosplay like this...
>>10939544You're right, unlike bug people Westerners have some shred of morals that prevent them from photoshopping themselves into a child for pedophile shekels.
ITT: post cute or hot white women
>>10939544asians are truly the master race
Old thread is nearing its limit >>10790295This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

>>10939517I've been ordering from taobao since like 2018 to the US. they haven't required one for years. The site is still in chinese though.>>10939414I've never seen any free shipping coupons or pop ups. where are you located?
>>10939326Serious question, why do people recommend this dogshit service? Their site is barely useable and their reps communicate in the most unintelligible broken Google Translate English possible and cancel orders for no apparent reason constantly. The only good thing about them I can see is they ship things that other services don't want to.>>10939414Last thing I wanted to order that actually shipped to my country was going to be 500+ dollars if I used their shipping. And it wasn't anything complicated or heavy, it was a simple overdress.
>>10939423Kind of depends on what you buy. The shipping costs are basically what shipping costs here, you're paying for planes and boats to move a box halfway across the world for you. Basically with how cheap things are in China, adding the shipping costs means you're paying for average prices in the western world but with a far bigger selection?>>10939517Uh no it's still by the Chinese for the Chinese, but geared toward Chinese people living overseas. Just go to China once to finish setup and run the app and you can keep using it from US/Canada without issues.>>10939705It was a shipping campaign that ran from Oct 1st to Oct 10th or so. Buy 299 yuan of stuff, get free shipping...to select countries. Canada was one of them. No coupons, just automatic, and listings/stores were clearly marked to show what qualified in the campaign. >>10939770I usually estimate that the shipping will cost as much as the merchandise I'm buying, which is still fair considering that I can't find any clothing or items in the same styles in the US, or without a massive middleman markup anyways.
>>10939770Never had any issues with Superbuy. Most importantly for me, their packaging is super thick/heavily fortified so nothing gets dented/dirty/broken.
> https://sxwx.taobao.com/Anon who put this in the shop page did your shoes come in yet? I want to order a pair but i want to hear your review since you suggested the store
Any gals here?
>>10935465Do your research. Type it into google search its the first page.
>>10933337Everything. The outfit never wear again. Too cheap looking. Your makeup needs work. Your makeup screams kpop. This is gyaru. You need more makeup.
>>10936476Scroll & ignore. The scalpers will get annoyed and slash their prices.
>>10935440theres no hits when searching so it probably is her
i really want to get into gyaru culture! particularly himegyaru is really appealing to me.. any recommendations ??
5 months of the old thread and not much has happened.Summer cons have been and gone and once again everything is fundamentally different. I don’t think we’llGo back to pre lockdown glory.Ho hum.Theres a few more bits and pieces before con season is over but I cba looking them up this time.
>>10937851You know it anon!also goodness October has gone quick. Anyone else decide they're going to Liverpool come november?
Black Ops 6 release collided with MCM.YIKES!
>>10939940 Christ, I thought they were at 2 still because they weren’t very good. Treyarch or something. No midnight release for us then unless you want to turn up dressed as some guy from Bleach. That’s still popular right?
so that was fun>drive down to MCM london nice and early>get off at the wrong exit on royal albert way bcuz im a tard but ended up in my favour>half way to the car park stopped by security and asked if i'd booked parking>"uh....no?">sorry mate all 750 spaces are fully booked you'll have to park in the premier innwhat the fuck? every MCM london i've been to, on the sunday i've rolled up around 9:20 and had my pick of most of the car park, what was that all about?
>>10940041they overbooked the prepaid parking too so people who actually paid beforehand got fucked over too
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
I tried all my inspirations, not really much to it anymore. Even when shirtless when I told myself I would never do it because of my physique
I really wanted to get into cosplay in high school since I was from some small town but once I went to uni in a big city I was too scared to make myself go to a con cause I didn't have anyone to go with me.Maybe I should just buy some cheap wigs and try dressing up for myself at home. Wish I had a buddy who would get me into making own costumes.t. Poland anon
>>10936041you still wont get some
>>10902256>>10902213We are faggot.
>>10902106My favorite is when cosplay thots try to become vtubers, and it doesn't work out for them. "What do you mean I have no personality?!?" #bless sorry sweaty
…it just started recently feel free to discuss your>cosplay plans>stories from cons past>stories from this conhere
>>10939357(btw are there any carrie kelley cosplayers attending? i have a drawing/photo idea i wanted to do for some time)
I am at NYCC as a vendorI am trying to keep up with the sheer amount of people and hope we don't run out of inventory before the end of tomorrow. And try to shout out any obscure costumes that I recognize
>>10939456if ya see anythin' interesting, don't hesitate to post 'bout it(tho it's best you ask permission before taking pis)
>>10939549Interesting that the convention ended four hours ago and we're still waiting for a forklift to come get our shit
>attendance: 200,000>absolutely nothing interesting to talk aboutWhat a trash con, just like everything else that happens in NYC.
old threads full and im sick of waiting for a new one so i made one myself
>>10940097these black turtlenecks under dresses need to be banned...i get that it's trying to be a hachi reference, but it's an eyesore, especially with that wig and bjd tights as well.
>>10940097why does this look like a creep shot and not something she posted herself
>>10940038i kinda fuck with this one. good for halloween season
>>10940197She posted this ugly outfit on TikTok herself
>>10940138Dresses are not even Lolita
old thread reached img limit >>10818178
>>10939746daaaaamn son
>>10934874Is that Gumiho?
>bf says he’ll take me to a lolita fashion store >ask if it is a sweet lolita, classic lolita or gothic lolita fashion store>he laughs and says it’s a nice store>go with bf>it’s kawaii fashion
>>10917972Okay lesbo.
>>10917868let me guess she is a gross fat legbeard, caz otherwise you would fight over dresses or she would laugh at you for dressing like a child
>>10921929I don’t like Lolita, but I know what it is. I’m also half Japanese so that’s probably it. If I had a GF into it I’d probably like to see her in more mount meme Mountie blue and black iron gate stuff than angelic pretty I’m more into guns, tools, dogs, going to the gym and shit like warhammer but I don’t mind taking my partners to places they enjoy. Used to take my ex to custom makeup stores all the time…Guys aren’t as stupid as the media portrays
>>10933924Most men don’t find lolita sexually attractive. I definitely don’t, it’s just some hobby girls get into and fall out of when they get older. >wanting to have sex while the girl is wearing lolita,Seems like a lot of fabric that’s expensive and difficult to maintain to get in the way… sounds more of a thing girls into the fashion fantasize about. >>10922467>Truth hurts doesn't it? If you want a trad wife you need to make trad wagesWhy do you assume that men just want you to do household chores? Most girls these days only eat out or do doordash. I cook and clean for myself, I don’t need some random chick to prep meals for me who doesn’t know my macro needs or what my body weight is to hit my protein needs I have expensive power tools that could hurt you and guns laying around. I have a roomba and a Dyson don’t need a Stacey you better bring more to a relationship than cleaning up after yourself because if you can’t even do that you’re not even an adult Most women these days just bring a high body count and debt to a relationship anyways
>retards still taking the female vs male baitnever chang!
