A member of our con staff got arrested at the con, and still nobody knows why. He was walked out yelling "That was YEARS ago!"In happier news, I was in the hospital with appendicitis and my bf came to visit me dressed as Shinji Ikari. The nurse with Tokyo Mewmew tatts thought it was hilarious.
Instagram's suggested reels really just showed me some Spidey cos-thot with her pussy lips hanging out the leotard's sex-hole. But they deleted my post with a nude statue.
I swear, if you are normal weight, have a slightly defined stomach and you are tall, you will almost get sexually harassed as a guy at a large enough cosplay gather. I am kinda a germaphobe, when it comes to STD, so it feels too fucking weird to take advantage of that situation. But there must be organized groups of girls out there, who are only there to fuck or something.
Is going alone worth it? Cant help but feel all the time like everyone has their own separate micro group of friends.
can't find the post featuring this pic related or something very close. The nonny was crying about how "Cons are dead and you'll be reported and kicked out if you wear this and PTHTBBB" Well having fist bumped a Pedobear fursuit cosplayer two nights ago, I can safely say he was retarded and wrong
>>10974032I hope you get arrested too and stabbed by gorillas you retard reddit bot

>>10975026>no more being taken aback by how spread thin everything becameThat was my biggest gripe with it. Everything going to the hotel by 8 or whatever felt off. Decent spot to hang out but it was so small. >Holmat at GaylordIt's such a nice hotel. I fucking hate that that ice show is there every year so we'll never see it happen. >better venue just by virtue of looking cool
>>10975027 (me)Fuck I pressed enter before I could finish my post.>better venue just by virtue of looking coolthat's an underrated aspect though and one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.
>>10975027>>10975028This year I'm gonna have to run some stuff by my crew cuz speaking DESU we flushed all of Saturday night down the toilet on an idea I knew was a fail from the start and it was. Comes from how spread out everything was. For 24 though, I can remember the exact moment feeling my soul getting bled dry: the huge uncanny, empty parking lot walk>>10975027>one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.And mine is: the famous con actually at a Gaylord, Katsucon. Unless something changes, I'm branding it the unfriendliest least welcoming con of all. And I say this in full acknowledgment, that Holmat day people aren't a basket of rainbow sunshine either
>>10975029Oh yeah the Gaylord there is nice but I've been there for MAGFest which ironically is one of the nicest crowds I've seen. Gave me old holmat vibes, minus the Christmas stuff of course.
The con that shall not be named on this board was good enough and really put things in perspective. People flying over 9000 miles to be there and I'm just a 3 hour drive. Still, booking a Disney venue was a huge mistake anyone with a half functioning single cell brain could see
i havent been here regularly in years but when i do come back i cant find the ita threads. that was like the whole reason i showed up. did you people suddenly learn social tact while i was gone. what the fuck man
>>10975369It looks like a Leg Avenue Lolita costume
>>10975369not their fault that the company chose the worst looking possible polka dots print, I don't know what is it about lolita, but the brands or whatever are specialist at making polka dots look bad
>>10975369>honestly it looks fineyou need to get your eyes checked
>>10975369Because of r/lolita the standards are so low this looks tolerable
>>10975369Would you pay the burando prices the want to charge for it though?
Because why notConnichi is around the corner - September 5 to 7 in Wiesbaden. Anyone going?Tell us about your con visits, your plans for the next months, cosplay struggles and everything else!Not sure where to go next? Consult this handy site which also lists smaller local cons:https://www.jam-cons.net/con-kalender
>>10974047oh sure, ill be there too.Aninite and Yunicon are my only 2 regulars so to speak.
I'm at Aninite nowThis year in the basementAgain
>>10973000>>10973036Heard about it on social media and found it very weird how everyone was suuuper concerned and worried. Like, Dokomi has some 200k visitors nowadays and one (1) person anheroed weeks later, how are you affected?And not to hwnbaw post, but everyone was very sure to call that person she in every tweet even when there was zero information out, very telling. Afaik even the police record said man which rules out that it could have been a tranny. It's just silly at this point
Procrastinated on con plans to the point of not going at all again award :(
>>10975368Oh, I'm getting there, too. I still haven't ordered any of the stuff I want to wear to YuniCon.
>be me, 30s M>hardly ever donde a cosplay but in 2020>carnival blood runs in my veins>tries and premieres it in Seville and Madrid>"hey, anon, you've got a good Class-D cosplay"Alright, I'm going to do cross "the fog" and dump my portfolio. Anons, do your worst. Otherwise, thank you very much. (1/7)

I was wondering if I ever make a cosplay, I firstly understand what makes it bad. Even if I dress properly, make up, good wig, I feel like it would look bad anyway. I was wondering if it is something else, like face structure or just being ugly. Also not talking about cosplays that don't match body build or those that want to look bad ironically.
>>10972842I think anon was meme'ing. Also, the barrel is upside down...
>>10833478Usually the cosplay itself is great in those cases, the cosplayer just isn't the right shape for it.It's a show of skill in sewing and costume design but a fat girl can't be a thin girl no matter what she wears.
>>10830561>dirty ass tennis shoeshehehe joke's on you, I'm going as a member of the shadow wizard money gang, and big fly shoes are part of my aesthetic choice of footwear
>>10833458>This guy is so fucking right, he's the only one mental enough to say the truthcosplay is kinda cringe

Is anyone going to get the first release from the new western indie, Murmures de Rubans? Putting their "faux fur" controversy aside. I think that this design isn't cohesive and needed a lot of editing before they put it into production. Looking at the samples, I wouldn't buy it as is. I feel the same about a lot of Lady Sloth releases. I'm not even talking about manufacturing quality here, why are western brands designs aesthetically like this?
>>10973906the only people willing to try to be a western lolita brand are insane crazy people often have eccentric taste
I don't think there's a way to style this that won't be ita. The piece itself is ita out the gate
Western indie brands, especially new ones are usually just ran by some autists with a special interest. Sometimes they are just anime enjoyers so their designs are weirdly flashy and nonsensical. Also most of them don't have any idea what they're doing and end up getting in over their heads when their final products don't end up looking like the dress they drew.https://www.instagram.com/honeycathedralclothing
>>10975066excellent idea, poor execution. pick high quality materials and craft, pick a photographer that can at the very least manage to make your black hair stand out from your black head thingie, pick a super qt model, yes including qt lolita hair
Brand already shuttered after everyone told MdR that their final samples looked like shit, and they can't afford to revise any of it. Even though she did this with student loans and her 13 years older boyfriend's money
Trap HereI'm planing on cosplaying Goth 2B soon and I'm looking for shiny boots similar to the ones on the pic on the right, that are in a mans size. I also want to find better fake boobs than the ones i currently use. Preferably latex without being too huge, I don't want to look like an obvious troon or those shitty crossplayers. Make up will be done by my gf.
>>10974827Heels will never defeat me. I'm looking to fill out the clevage though since I'm planning on getting a fake torso.
Update!I wore the regular 2B outfit to a con finally and though both the corset and boots took a toll on me, I looked great and a guy even asked for my number. Next steps will be to find a more comfortable corset and getting creative with the goth accessories.
>>10975148post a picture
>>10975156seconding this
>>10969548>overknees>cat ears>mini skirt>greasy hair>autismYeah just admit you're LARPing as women since you think wahmin is when 'fuckable cat girl animu'.
>mfw realizing cosplay is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10967079>Nobody likes the fat guy who tries to do some "hot" cosplay.what if its ironic crossplay
>>10968475its only funny if you make it obvious that you're doing it for funnies.Fat bearded guy in a Miku outfit wearing suspenders and a "yamaha" logo around his belly button? Funny.Fat guy in a "femboy hooters" outfit wearing the exact same outfit you just saw some 5ft5 twink wearing? Not funny.
>>10878507Do a masked or helmeted character.
I'm a pretty average looking guy and I still find joy from crafting costumes and props and have made genuine connections with many people through it, including finding my wife.If your goal is to get Instagram followers then yeah, you need to be a conventionally attractive woman willing to flash your T and A, or an attractive man that is extremely talented. If you just want to have fun and meet people, you just need to have a genuine smile and a can-do attitude.
Just get into kigurumi if youre chopped as shit. You can be cute and cosplay all you want with one
>jfash these japanese fascist sure dress in a curious way
>>10958316>>10958321>>10961723cool

>>10975125
>>10975125Dress him up as Naruto, kids that age love Naturo.
Ive been into anime and japanese culture my entire life and ive only recently been interested in cons and making cosplays. Looking more into them, ive found out that its been heavily bastardized and a shell of its former self… or so ive been told. That begs the question, are they even worth going to?
It's called a Con for a reason. It's there to con you out of your money. Memes aside, I can tell you my personal experience. It's worth it if you are an attractive cosplayer, if you're a female then you'll be good. You'll get invited to parties, people's rooms, and their social group. Best part is definitely hooking up and partying. I dont find value in useless panels, interviews, or taking pictures with no-name writers, celebrities, or whatever. The dealer hall is a complete scam with temu shit and buying trash. Avoid the rave too, lol. Only go if you can show off your con babe while she grinds on your cock. Otherwise, just go to cons for social aspect and dont go for the panels and bullshit. Make the most out of every conversation and collect socials then stay in touch.
>>10975234you sound like a miserable loser
>>10975241Many such posters. Sad!
>>10975241>>10975253I just take pleasure in meeting young cosplayers and then using them for my pleasure and also for social proof.One of my favorite things to do is to get invited to their room and when they are away for the bathroom, i would go into their luggage then snatch a couple pairs of panties
YesYou're going to get tired of being ronery, OP, I know it.
Any seagulls going to ANYC? 30 days to go!
>>10973850Next year we should all agree to just go to Otakon and skip this shitty con entirely.
>>10975226Works for me. I'm probably going to try comiket next year, but if I still end up wanting to go to an easy coast con that will probably be it.
is it normal to have someone you’re only really friends with at a convention like we added each other in discord but we don’t really have any sort of conversation i feel like i have to try so hard to initiate and feel like i wasted the effort when i get like only a few words back this con is only good for its artist alley and cosplay community anyways. the crystal palace is a fine place to shoot when the weather permits i guess
>>10975264Alot of ppl are like that these days. Either he is really akward on text like i am or he doesn't really care about you at all
>>10975264She's not interested in you.
>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.
>>10970180It was comfy. Did ALA really get too big for Ontario?
