I didn't get into cosplay because I'm fat and I like food more than the idea of spending money to dress up as a character and take a photo.
I hate seeing fat people complain and through force of mass, force stuff to be worse.
Only thing worse than the fat cosplayer (unless they go all in and dress as a fat character) are the simps that enable it.

don’t understand how they actually expect cosplay companies to realistically make good cosplays for them anyway. it uses like triple the fabric and their bodies are so distorted from what humans actually are supposed to look like that drafting a pattern that shit genuinely might be impossible. that 15xl bullshit should be at least double the price just because of the extra work and materials

Its weird to me how fat cosplayers here are seen as thin in places like america

>>10961419
third worders have to amass mass for the winter anon.

is why fat even exists in the first place.

>>10968582
can't you just use the trick of cosplaying more inhuman chracterers.

like a giant bullder golem or something.

I think I might hold off for a few years lol

>>10967311
Same. I usually stay at westin but got into jw last year and now I'm bummed knowing what I'm missing out on.

Stayed at Omni last year. Fucked around too much this year and ended up with a Freehand reservation for 2k but I'm going to be refreshing listings until the the event to try and get something better.

What did they mean

I live 15-20 minutes from the convention center so I’m going no matter what but this is going to be hilarious

Where do u buy your outfits and especially cute shoes :3

Sorry for the dumb question but do wigs get shipped in packaging that you can’t see what it is typically. I just don’t want my family to see it in the mail

>>10968881
for me, the cheap ones have always shipped inside clear zip lock bags, which are contained within the usual opaque black plastic bag or cardboard brown postal packaging

>>10968883
Thank you I ordered from Amazon with a cosplay so figured it would probably come in a normal brown box but wasn’t sure if they had some special packaging

>>10968887
usually cosplays come in an opaque bag, but I don't have experience ordering off Amazon personally

Does anyone know if the official after party is any good?

Ab used to have a rave but it got canceled after it went off the rails one year.

No idea how the off site rave is but saturday night is a good night for the late panels so I haven't gone

>>10968586
in my experience it was all room parties.

>>10968604

The rave was legit fun, venue was big, but making it a separate ticketed event off site is kinda shitty of them.

The only reason I go to this con really is to watch the cosplay events or sometimes participate in them or for idol shows. They're phasing out all of it so there's really no point to paying for an expensive weekend pass just to get Naruto's VA autograph. Looks like the last large non-industry con left with community events in NE is going to be Connecticon.

I have a chain mail, what do i apply to avoid it getting rusty? i live on a coastal city btw

>>10968754
Wd-40 will work fine

>>10968754
The easiest option is weapon oil. Apply it after every wear, put it back in a canvas bag and put the bag into a watertight box. Mail is kind of self-cleaning because the rings slide against each other so it doesn't need much polishing.

If it came in contact with moisture (skin, rain) you might want to apply some wd-40 to displace the liquid it and rub it with a rag before applying a new spray of weapon oil. Using WD-40 as protective coat is a bad idea because it is too light and will evaporate quite quickly leaving the metal unprotected.

Couple years now. I only post it every once in awhile, and with how life has been lately, obviously I'm slow to reply.

>>10968754
Avoiding can only do so much. What you really need to do is get yourself a 10 gallon bucket with a lid that screws on securely (this part is important). Fill it about halfway with fine playground sand, some tool oil (Don't use food oils like Olive or vegetable, because it will rot and smell terrible), and some cheap vinegar.

Stick the maille in said bucket, secure the lid, and roll that sucker around.

If you want to get super frisky with it, you can actually make a historic maille tumbler.

Any RPers here from the Pacific Northwest? I've been following larping for about 15 years but too chicken to jump in.
It seems like a lot of vaccinated trannies in my area and curious if anyone has any good recommendations for dark rp.
I use to text RP in an old game 20 years back, but only RP with AI now cause the video game RPs haven't been fun and usually littered with cliques, drama, and people that don't want open RP.

Why are they so incest themed?

>>10964968
If you mean Haruka and Michiru, the US-dub turned them into cousins

If you mean cosplays like Elsa and Anna, or Ram and Rem, maybe the radical christians were right after all

>>10965690
Some people are really fucking weird about what's essentially pocket change, and are willing to throw away what could be decent friendships by weasling out of chipping in fiddy bucks.

>Go to grown up cons like Dragoncon, you retards
A friend of mine spent an entire hour of Katsu telling me about how Dragoncon was basically just a kink convention with an comic-con Facade.

>>10968817
They're wrong. It's ten times better than Katsu for someone who has been to both. Katsu is just people mogging each other in one lobby. Dragoncon is spread across multiple hotels. This friend of yours sounds like they hate fun and like social media attention.

>>10968834
Katsu attendees are just a hint livelier than Ota, otherwise they'd be shit-tier. Easily

>>10968834
oh no he was talking positively about it.

>>10934536
If this post is real, your gyaru make up is spot on. What's the outfit with it? Are you going to make your hair more expressive or stick with the pigtails?

Some answers here are strange

>>10963876
Explain how

>>10934536
Looks great! Though I'd recommended putting something on your lips as they look quite bare compared to your eyes. But the eye make up is amazing!! I'm jealous of your skills!!

Depends on the character

>>10895786
I've actually known some Japanese Lolitas and it never ceases to amaze me how the Western ones have made up a complete headcanon about what it's all supposed to be about. The ones I knew were all pretty normal and were just into it as a fashion thing, and were all also cosplayers.

Cosplaying used to result in me having sex with cute cosplayer girls and even though it hasn't in years I still can't bring myself to completely give up hope

>>10968774
based full retardo western lolitas, now I hate/like them even more for crafting their ow version with extra autism

>>10968410
>Are people allowed into the gaylord to dress like the Colonel?
Yes, as long you can cosplay him and wearing confederate flag. No one will attack you unless Antifags show out of nowhere.

I'm thinking I'm going to try going as Reisen next year. More than anything I figure it'll be a good way to identify fellow oldheads.

okay I heard there was another gazebo accident this year, anyone know what happened this time?

Unless a person has huge social currency, or social or economic value they will never welcome in friend groups. They are all cliques now post-2020

Yeah I know right. Like on my 16th birthday it just hit "Wow how am I so old?" and now I'm 22 and realize my life's over like actually

>>10968564
You're joking but it's true

>>10968564
Wait until 25, and then 30. Speeds the fuck up. Hitting 30 this year has really pushed me to do a lot of stuff I never took the time to, chiefly neglected hobbies. Also dropping some stuff like vidya which have obliterated my time. Just do it, don't wait, don't worry about being cringe.
