It's been quite a while since the gulls have participated in the 4cc, but I am hoping to bring a change to that and revive the team once more. It could be possible to play in Autumn already!>What is this?The 4cc is basically a 4chan wide football tournament where every board has a team of players related to their board that then compete to see who is the best>What are you doing?I have went through the old lineups of the /cgl/ team and salvaging what is still relatable to form a 23 player team. I have also been busy working on aesthetics to bring the team to the best they have ever looked, not just pngheads, but actual full models>Why should I care?Each team should represent the board and its users, so suggestions for players, music, aesthetics and anything else are very important for accurately representing the board>Ok and?The most important thing is the board showing willingness in actually wanting to see the team play, so showing any interest in it is valuable, even if it's just a reply.
>>10975989definitely do ribbons, shits fucking everywhere now
>>10976007Here she is, Ribbon Hunter! I put some 4cc injokes on all the ribbons, I'm sure the audience will get a good laugh out of it.In other news, the friendlies got postponed a week, but we now also have a match against newcomers /qst/! So be sure to tune in the 25th and 27th.
And the final model I finished, Salt-chan. Basically it's just the Morton salt girl. We now have a full roster with 23 models.So tonight is finally of first match in the friendlies, the match should be at around 19:40 UTC, ~8 hours from now. The opponent is the newly created team /qst/. Be sure to tune in to see the entire team in action.Tomorrow is the second match, against /pol/, at around 18:20 UTC. You can watch the stream at https://isthisliv.com/4cc/stream.html
It's so good to see that these shenanigans are still around. Thanks for all the amazing models joggers. Shame about our first friendly but I had a cosy time watching.Also man I haven't been around here for ages the new (to me) captcha sucks.
So, both of our friendlies matches have now concluded. We lost the first one to /qst/ 2-1, but we won the second one to /pol/ 1-0! Now it's time to wait for the actual Autumn cup in a month. Plenty of time for polish and clean up the models to make the aesthetics top notch, and maybe work on the tactics a bit.Here was the model of Ita Bag for this match.>>10976231Good to see you returning!

>>10976185I'm going to give this con another year or so to get itself back on track before going. I hear the drama is done and they just need to rebuild, and I hope they can.
I never went to these as I wasn't old enough but I've heard that conventions used to be more fun. Actual nerds going there having a good time.No social media attention whores trying to get cloutNot overly woke and annoying bullshit shoved down your throatJust nerds nerdin' out
Something people don't talk about as much is the shift from "meeting people who live near you that share the same hobbies" to "an excuse for people who know each other online to travel and meetup"That to me has changed conventions more than anime getting popular.
>>10976042On one hand, you’re absolutely right. On the other, there’s an undeniable tier list of convention goers. For my area at least, the locals are all dorky, autistic college kids, not in a good way. In a sense the local ones I go to our meet ups for online friends, but I also met them at conventions before adding them
>>10926153Tell me you were born in 2008 without telling me you were born in 2008.Fat glompers were the very stereotype of the con-goer. For good reason.
>>10926783Moreso than size, I think it's more to do with cons turning into sales spaces first and events becoming a matter of big panels and shows rather than ground floor fun.Japan Expo is likely the best example. Circa 2007-8 IIRC, going there you had a bunch of groups/associations setting up their oen event booths with that one group wheeling in some rare arcade cabinets, PNPRPG and board game devs showing off their games and having trial plays, gunpla, BJD and lego MOC displays. You had sales points but a lot of them at this point were specialized bookstores beinging in their second-hand sections and exotics catalog, vintage game stores and importers making weebs drool with imported clothes.It changed a lot at the turn of 2010 I'd say. That's when most booths were sales point, prices for booths increased due to high-profile panels à la San Diego Comic Con where huge movies were now announced making the event "more valuable" and making it a lot harded for a group that runs a gaming room in Paris or a guy with twenty copies of his self-published rulebook to be here.Then there's also a certain shift from cosplay as a ground floor activity to competitions on stage but that's a different story.
>>10931683>no worry about being posted as cringeAn artist drew some bad art comic about me and my cousin because we awkwardly answered a question about the hats we were wearing (cousin made them). I'll never forget randomly coming across that in deviantart. Too bad I didn't have the balls to make an account and start shit talking them.

Can I please get some tips on how to get started with styling wigs?
>>10976151>Step before you do anythingPIC RELATED>What else you'll wantHair clips, styling brush, sewing pins, wide tooth comb, wig scissors, foam head or any equivalent to prop up>PositionProp it on the head, stabilize with pins. Bust out the clips and contain the exact area you want to style. Comb and brush out any tangles, starting from the bottom>Wig itselfGet the scissors ready. Reference photos with as many angles as you can find. Cut with scissors going UPWARDS NOT ACROSS. Take it slow and remember that cutting too little will always trump cutting too much>DetailsThe Got2Be that makes it happen. Spray the pinned down area. Get out something I didn't mention yet: a heating device. I use a hairdryer (on low) but some will do steamer or curling iron. Pass it over the sprayed part. You'll know it worked if that isolated part of the hair is now togetherThe basics. I'm not great with ahoge for instance>>10976075Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10976075It fucking sucks being a traditional crossdresser in a world where you're expected to be something more. I just want to enjoy looking cute, there's little more to it than that, but for some reason there ALWAYS has to be something behind it. It makes it nearly impossible to interact with other crossdressers online anymore because there's always a risk of trannies (see: even the discord in the OP is riddled with them) and unless they're the rare sane kind who recognize they'll never be women and just present as such for the sake of disarming their dysphoria they're almost always the exact kind of bitchy babytrans who'll try and groom you at every possible opportunity.
>>10975527I'd love to get implants, but the breastplate I got recently is a more convenient alternative tho>>10975530Depending on the day and situation I can Cross play without makeup, just a good shave and some skin care can be enough for full on Crossplay like going to cons or events, makeup all the way
>>10976075Not wanting to be mistaken for trans is why the first thing I say to anyone at a con is "I'm a guy, this is a costume."
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
>>10969751same, she is absolutely so rude. maybe it's because i met her when she wasn't working at a booth and I'm another cosplayer but it's been years since I met such a stuck-up person.
God I wish they didn't remove IP count
>>10973493boner status?
Any stories people have on her and her friends?
is this the oldest thread on the board?
What do you think of kids at cons? Good? Bad?Should more cons ban them, I've noticed actual porn stars at Comic Con dressed very revealing and selling their stuff there so maybe that should go 18+
Lets kids be at cons but only with the parents' understanding they may see some adult stuff, don't make it anyone else's problem.People should be most concerned about what kids are seeing on their phones or tablets, a little T&A at a con won't hurt them.
I hope kids are always allowed at cons because seeing cute young girls in cosplay is like half the reason I go. If kids stop coming to cons, how else am I gonna beat off in my hotel room while thinking about come sexy little Nezuko or Kanna that I saw on the con floor?
>>10947633yes
most kids dont read comics anyway

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
This year's metrocon was my first con EVER, and although I only went on the last day, I honestly feel like it captured the "pre-2020s" energy of anime cons I've been searching for!! (I'm only 18 so obviously I don't HAVE the experience of a pre-covid convention, but I've watched old con vlogs religiously and it was closer to those than say, modern AnimeExpo, if that makes sense). Anyways, I'm currently saving up for my next cosplay, and want to go to my next con in December--is Holiday Matsuri still any good? Or has it been taken over by tourists??
>>10976132Mostly taken over by tourists and clout chasers; the soul is completely gone and some could argue the soul was gone a few years before it left the Marriott. Holmat last year was fine, still had a lot of Christmas themed cosplays but Orange County Convention center will never beat having it in that Marriott. I had more fun at it than Metro tbdesu. Metro is a decent enough con but I think Holmat had more things to do. I'd potentially travel for Holmat if I didn't live in Florida but I don't think I'd ever travel for Metrocon.
>>10976132>I honestly feel like it captured the "pre-2020s" energy of anime cons I've been searching for!!It's much harder to discern when you're brand new, but being a green is an advantage here. By which I mean: throw away everything the whining doomgloomers tell you. They were saying just a few years ago that cons were literally over forever and you were going in a FEMA deathcamp for noncomplianceyeah check out HolMat, it's alright
>>10974722No need to be so mean anon. We can be frens.
>girl cosplayer>tattoo that ruins the lookSo many tattoo'd women at conventions.
>>10976108you can find millenial autists and troops kek
>>10976095>tfw found cute girl with no tattoosit's like jumping on the last helicopter out of saigon
>>10976110Of course they exists, but in a much lesser number, reminder that it was still around the time when a lot of girls weren't into nerdy shit and you were some level of pariah if you were a little bit too much into these stuff, so the amount of women that are that are-Still into nerdy shit-Won't have the option of "Eww, you're still hard into that stuff at your age?"

Hi OP don't know if you are still aroundBut there's an anon on this board who would really appreciate it if you would post a timestampThanks in advance
i'm not saying every person needs to have the same accurate body as the character they are cosplaying as, call be fatphobic but seeing ugly ass fat pigs cosplay and expect compliments annoys me.I don't know how they are not disgusted of being a fat bag, and looking like a pork compared to slim or fit cosplayers.

>>10970368I agree, but even if only 2 people remain who want to exchange gifts, I'd help them connect. Even if it ends up being done in a way that doesn't resemble past events at all, maybe it'd all be done by email. And I don't think any new thread will be created, but if there's any desire to share things with /cgl/ this thread could stay up.But from the looks of it, the event seems to not have much of a future. I was thinking if anything could be done for people to go back and look at old memories, when new threads will no longer be made for the event each year. There probably would not be much interest even in that though to be quite honest.
Is this the last thread
>>10970377>I was thinking if anything could be done for people to go back and look at old memoriesFor what it's worth I for one would really love that, I've fallen out of J-Fash over the years so I haven't been participating or coming to this site much but curling up with a hot cocoa or a peppermint latte to read this thread every year and see all the excited posts is still a big part of how I get into the holiday spirit. It's crazy to think that it's been a decade since Uncle Travis, but if nothing else I'm really grateful for the work all the organizers have put in over the years to make this possible.
>>10973666Probably. But in all honesty, it isn't really my decision to make to end the event. I can say that I won't organize it anymore, but I can't say that no one will organize it. And if someone would want to organize it, I'd be willing to stay in an organzing role too. The issue is that there really doesnt seem to be much interest anymore.>>10973736I'm thinking there should be a centralized place for people to find the threads, at least. But I don't think people would be able to find it. So I'm not sure exactly how it should be done.On another note, the album still hasn't been updated with the images from this or last year, so that's something I'll need to do.
Guess we could keep the thread alive until Christmas
