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

I 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.

Unironically genshin
All 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.

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?

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!! :)

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.

My 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?
>>
>>10960442
At 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.
>>10961447
Junk 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.

Cosplay 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.

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*

miraicon was,,,,,,,,,,,,good
i 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

women 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)
>>
>>10961056
Agree 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.
