Marin (and variations) and Yor were the obvious FOTM cosplays for last con season. What are your predictions for this year? My predictions:>Yor spillover from last year>a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima>Mitsuri from Demon Slayer (her arc comes out in spring)>Vash Stampede for guys
>>10951905what are some visually interesting male cosplays?
>>10958960i saw some cosplays at a recent con
>>10958612Same experience, local con had a HUGE amount of kpop cosplayersLots of genshin still>>10958960I really hope so. There was one Symboli Rudolf at my con who participated in the cosplay contest, she was incredible. Expert wig, expert outfit. She was handing out little carrot pins to anyone who came up to her.
>>10960039symboli rudolf my beloved
>>10958965Unironically genshinAll the outfits, male and female, have tons of details and accessories. It's easy to do low-effort genshin, but high-effort genshin looks noticeably amazing.
Guys, how old is too old?Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.
We need more threads about being too old for cosplay
>>10959896>be me>be old as fuck>dont care>cosplay anyway>have fun>win 3rd place in some contest without even trying>take pictures with other cosplayers>people ask to take my picturethe only issue is I cannot connect socially with the youngsters, but tbdesu, it was the same when I was young because social anxiety, so whatever
>>10959896Uh huh
>>10959896This
109598961096147310962851Kill yourself
>be me>con this weekend>feel I am tool old (29) and need to hang up the costume>get invited to con, birthday sucked so say might as well >we all do some basic leftover cosplay nothing big >meet my /v/ros and /g/eeks all about the same age outside one guy we will call Steve>steve is 36 became a /fit/ faggot not really buff doesn't even have a six pack and really isn't like what you see on /fit/ but w/e>faggot does crossplay(love live, miku, etc) for memes he's not even 6ft like the rest of us>36 year old faggot somehow getting more attention than anyone despite being way older than us and barely fit like has good arms I guess>day 0, friday, saturday drunk and bonucing between room parties like he's a college frat person like a fag>no one is even asking his age even see some girls flirting with him who are probably like 24>meanwhile our group is basically ignored(we were doing old cartoon network stuff and my friend was doing a TACO meme)>even when people sobered up people were like "Oh hey steve!" What the fuck gives? I'm sobering up at the airport right now and looking back this just makes me more pissed off I stopped doing cons because everyone was saying "25 is too old for cosplay" and covid kinda solidified that. I don't get how he wasn't seen as a creep or divorced dad. Are women and zoomers actually this fucking stupid? Why should some faggot who is 36 get more attention than people who aren't giant faggot shitposters. He's too old right?
>>10962740Amab-sama, you must teach your peers how to sex real good
>>10955089Can I start a diaper girl thread? Its a niche I know, but there will be no nudity. Just baby bib sucking, diaper wearing girls? Is that not a form of cosplay?
>>10955089>doesn't specify if crossplay is for laughs or if actually is of quality and passes>doesn't specify any personality or behavioral factors>doesn't specify which con(they have different attendee composition from eachother)>does specify habits of clowning on early 2000s stuff as though anyone 24 would find anything like that a draw.>>10955099>>10955099>Dude we were in Florida, people HATE trump there (reading the discord anyways)SOME people hate trump everywhere. but trump took the state by over 10 points, dude. Including Miami-Dade which is like 70% hispanicit doesn't look like you have an age problem as much as you have a don't know your audience problem.
>>10962740Pretty much this, I don't know what it is but everyone mid 20's is either stuck living off mommies money or full doomer mode. Also can someone please explain to me why people in the 22-26 year range some how all seem to have a +10 years on their looks. Put down the monster energy drinks
>go to meetup for fandom>only one not in cosplay>dont interact with a single person there>go to local con discord and complain
>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
>>10959202Daydreaming can ruin a lot of experiences that would have been great otherwise because the real thing can never live up to your idealized dream images. You'll go there eventually just avoid phantasizing about it
>>10959202take an uber if u absolutely have to
>>10917456Why do autismfags have to bring up their autism in every conversation? Lolita will be ruined soon. Its the new "Im autistic!" trait.
>>10917831get a fucking job, leech.
>>10960115yeah!
i dunno when drawthreads tapered off here but i periodically check back and there just never is one. so ill be the change I want to see in the world. post coords for me to draw, thank you. (and other artists too of course)

Any ideas what can I use to make earrings for my jodio cosplay
going to AX this year for a bit, but I wanna improve my mamimi cos. Rn im in the process of redoing the wig, but the clothes kinda bother me.Ill post some pics of the jacket, thats mainly what I wanna improve. I wanna add her little jewel thingy but I dont know how I could make it and attach it, id have to make a little pocket and I cant really sew. (beginner kinda, I started cos in 2023)also with her sailor collar, I dont know what color to dye it. I have tan dye, but I cant make out what the hell the color is in the anime. I will also paint the black stripe red.pleaseplease give me advice since it looks a little cheap, ill be posting more photos to show it. Ill post many updates as well!! :)
>>10955347CUM ON LEGS
>>10958819no need for that kind of language
Looks good
I have no tips
1096147010962829I have a tip: kill yourself
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
>>10960098Comfy atmosphere, only a bare minimum of furfaggotry, but I overestimated the size a bit. Nice little park next to it with some stellar hobo cosplays. Gotta watch some popular stuff for next time though if I want to talk to more people than one oldfag
Not a single Connichi attendant left alive to tell the tale. What a massacre.
Hmu for the Yunicon in Schwechat at the end of Oct. Ill be there.
Only one Halloween con? And only Ossis get to have one? What's up with that?
>>10960930Hell yeah, another austrian anon.If you see a Shin from Dorohedoro or a Subaru, hit me up and I will buy you a drink
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.
>>10961979>it's not like they can drop 100lbs overnightozempic allows you to do this, get with the times fatty
>>10961215You haven't looked hard enough, plenty of onlyfans whores have cosplayed Ubel
>>10961980this sounds very hote anon. post pics when u do it
>>10960442My husband and I are big (not 600 pound butterball turkey big, but not petite, probably need to lose 30ish pounds) and we both like cosplay (I LOVE making clothes). Our first (so far only) cosplay was actually Shrek and Fiona, we painted ourselves green and everything. He even carried me over his shoulder and I acted like I was exasperated about it a few times. It was a ton of fun! It never seemed right to us to try and cosplay as a character we looked radically different than. I mean, we used stuff on our faces to look more like the characters because neither of us had the right face type, but that was something we were easily able to change. Dressing up as a petite Japanese schoolgirl when you're 600 lbs is just ridiculous, and I'll never understand why people do it. It's one thing if you like the clothes or do it privately or whatever, but it's downright distracting at a con, in my opinion.Not only distracting because of how much they stick out and look bad, they tend to be rude and smell bad, too. If you're disabled, I get that it can be a struggle to lose weight, and I sympathize for a similar reason. And you can let a certain amount of being overweight go, maybe you eat more fast food than you should because you're busy or you cope with stress by eating an extra serving of dessert, whatever. But by the time you're pushing an extra 40, 50 lbs you HAVE to realize there's a fucking problem here. I can't exercise much so when I lose weight I go on a water fast. It sucks for like 3 days and you feel like shit then you hit the mania part of your fast and it's smooth sailing from there. If you're someone who CAN hit the gym or reliably go for walks then you don't even have to be that drastic about it, someone the size of OP's pic could literally just put one less scoop of food on her plate and go for a 15 minute walk every day and start losing weight. I DON'T. GET IT.What is the point of cosplaying a character unless you're trying to LOOK LIKE them?
>>10960442At least when it comes to cosplay, it's better if you try for things that actually fit the body type. There's a handful of fat anime characters that definitely work.>>10961447Junk food tends to be cheaper than produce in some places. It's a similar issue in the US where healthier foods tend to be more pricey unless you know how to cook (in which a shockingly large amount of people don't). Then again, the main US advantage is that portion sizes are so huge you can end up with leftovers often, so it does save you quite a bit of money if you're not a big eater.
I'm too old to understand this subculture please enlighten melike how do you feel when you larp as an anime character makes you feel like
>>10960516>change colorWtf its Karin from blue archive. Her halo is this colors '--'
>>10895583>cosplayCosplay for women is just a way to get attention from men, if they could get it in another way they would do that instead. Most women don't care about it outside of that.Cosplay for men is mostly from the point of view of looking at it instead of taking part, it's becasue the have jerked off so much to characters from anime, video games or whatever else they get an instant boner if even a hint of that character being real comes into view.It's like if you played wow as a teenager and jerked off daily to night elves, then some 5/10 girl is dressed up as one and you get a boner cause your brain is so fried it thinks it's your daily faptime.
>>10960424>>10960500Is it actually you posting in /40kg/ or did someone just grab these pics?
>>10960500hot as fuck
>>10960500Looks fine to me, maybe because I'm biased because you're cosplaying my waifu.

We need females room 507
And that's a wrap on the first Miraicon. Good, but not great, but better than I expected. Definitely better than Otaku 19 anyway. The biggest win by far is not getting the con lifetime banned from the venue. *cough*
>>10961158miraicon was,,,,,,,,,,,,goodi liked it i thought it was fun all around even if the venue was small a small community based con feels comfortable at most and i love it when its so small you practically know everyone here n there as for me i thought it was good some panels were hot dogshit (except my buddies ofc) but thats expected to see THE SAME EXACT PANELS IN EVERY CON HERE artist alley was fine but im so sick of these fucking blindboxes and labubus everywhere its so obnoxious to see i guess i had fun in the raves but i really dont like themed raves and all that whatever happened that triggered the fire alarm was fucking funny as hell and took the party outside made it up for it Comment too long.

>>10962802ah same anon herenext con? def holmat thinking about mini iwai and otakufest holiday special
>>10962802The vendor space was bit too much artist and not enough people selling Japanese goods. They'll need a bigger space next year, but it had good theming and good guests related to the hobby.
pic is me
cute
>>10961127The print of the Op is very cute and so are the details of the matching bow, very nice!
lose weight, get bangs, and burn that hideous cardigan.
>>10962822been out of lolita for a while. came back and saw the soft responses. but this reply.... ahhh that's that community i remember :)
I wish there was a better lolita snark site/secrets spot than 4chan now that BTB has been gone for three years. I want places to be mean about itas and share secrets without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.
>>10947046women under 40 are just way, WAY more woke than they were even 10 years ago, and part of that is deciding that bullying and gossip is bad, and usually if your coords suck and don't improve people will silently ostracize you even if you refuse to take concrit (and also everyone's standards dropped bc everyone realized they don't have to aim for AP/BTSSB level looks, which require you to at least be an in shape 5/10, and let's be real, pre 2010 street snaps are straight up ita compared to modern coords; the only difference is that they were in brand)also there's no real way to avoid vendetta posting, and half the time it degenerates into "eww trannies" and the kind of person who gets into lolita is much more likely than the average woman under 40 to find that distasteful (and is disproportionately queer or genderfucky themselves) which is why cglers don't stick in comms despite the average person here being able to dress better than the average comm member (i would be surprised if there were more than 50 Trump voters in *every* regional comm, combined, in America)
>>10961056Agree with most of this, but don't conflate gender-critical with Trump voters/conservatives. Most gendercrit women are liberals and true radical feminism (the RF in TERF) is descended from Marxism.If the Western comm has let's say 3,000 active members, there are probably dozens of gendercrit liberals and 5 Trump voters.
>>10947046i wish theres an anime about lolita snark culture
snark is such a redditor-coded term
>>10961492most of the site is redditors now
