>what?an anime convention that stopped being good years ago>when?April 3rd-5th>where?Seattle Convention Center, Washingtonhttps://sakuracon.org/Hopefully it sucks less this time around!
>>10970148yeah they're probably a tiktok poser
>>10969959>Seattle for Sakuracon, i am amazed at how many fentheads are milling around >Jesus fuck it's gotten badI worked in downtown Seattle for 10 years, from 2012 to 2022We'd take day breaks from work to visit Pax and other cons at the convention center.>during covid I stopped going to Seattle for work>returned to downtown Seattle for a friend's going away party in 2023>the downtown core stank of stale piss and malt liquor>used needles and burnt tin foil were easy to find on the street>many once thriving businesses were now boarded up empty shells>graffiti everywhere>drug addicts and bums pissing in the alleys, shitting on the curbThe city has gone down hill and nobody in Seattle seems to care.Their rally cry seems to be "hey, at least we're not Portland".It's sad.Comment too long.

>>10970280>It's sad.It really is sad, because Seattle is an absolutely beautiful city. And it's pretty clean too... as long as you aren't near one of the places the homeless congregate at.Most "major cities" are just shitty. Boston, NYC, LA, DC, etc. They smell, look like ass, have trash everywhere and run-down buildings. I guess San Fran is kinda nice... but they have the same homeless problem, maybe even worse.
It was pretty great running into othe 4Channers
>>10969967 it's me again. Didn't think the Washington Summer Con warranted its own thread, so I'll throw the pics I took there here:https://imgur.com/gallery/washington-state-summer-con-6-20-2026-4Inkt03

I came here to check if there was a yeticon thread and its just fucking empty TT_TT this year was great tho. Somehow did end up having a one night stand, allegedly? Lmfao
Drop the tea. What shit went down at Yeti? Aside from the Seasons elevators
Heya /cgl/! I made the decision to give cosplaying a try. I cant describe how much i enjoyed it, especially because im a very extroverted person. What do you guys think of my first cosplay? :]

>ITT: Dating in the hobbySeems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby. My ex hated cosplay and anime and it has done nothing but drive me to want to date cosplayers, more to help them afford better cosplays and all that, as well as just enjoy cons together and all that stuff. All the apps try and say that you can narrow down your search, or apps like Boo, but it just ends up being normies who either catfish or ghost. Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit? At the same time I've found that cosplayers generally want to be left alone at cons while they do their thing.
>>10972413my true love is monster hunter
I'm a 31 ftm tranner and honestly I don't even bother looking. The only people that have expressed interest in me are explicitly looking for a hook up, or are so much of a fucking loser that they're looking for someone with a big boy job to bail them out of their poor life choices.Also none of them like Gundam. If their soul is weighed down by gravity, what's the point?
>>10961579I'd suggest missing on purpose but thats just probably too meta
Last time I went to a convention there were just your average people going there and if I do find a lady whos attractive she ends up being gay baka
I do RE4 leon for cosplay and I even started a high protein low calorie diet that has been working well. But really Im trying to rizz up an ada wong cosplayer or ashley graham. Last convention I went people did recognize me and asked for photos. Didnt find my chinese baddie and ashley graham already came with her leon baka.
>mfw realizing cosplay is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10964357Or just do "funny" cosplays.Everyone loves the fat guy who does peter griffin every year.Nobody likes the fat guy who tries to do some "hot" cosplay.
>>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.
Cosplaying used to be something only the ugly fat girls liked to do.It used to require sewing skills, wood/plastic sculpting skills and also painting skills. Most of the people couldn't put enough time to do it.The existing women would receive a lot of attention back then no matter how ugly they were. Not being fat was a huge plus bonus.But now, any women can buy the outfit done from China, done with pro quality better than most can do. Any new anime of the season will already have a cosplay outfit selling in China.Doing the cosplay of one character first would be something that used to draw a lot of attention, now anyone can buy it ready from China faster than ever.And more and more women are doing cosplay, because it gives them views on social media.Now the ugly nerdy women can't compete in any way with the pretty women doing the job.Do you agree they stole this hobby from the fat ugly women???
>>10971670>Cosplaying used to be something only the ugly fat girls liked to do.You're completely wrong about this. I've been in the cosplay scene for almost 25 years and there have always been plenty of attractive girls. I dated multiple 8+ girls in the days before Facebook pages, Patreon, Onlyfans, etc. even existed, and those girls made their own costumes.
well-made handcrafted shit still receives a lot of attention lol.store-bought costumes just makes it so that more people can participate
>>10971785The store bought stuff prevents a lot of people from ever making their own costumes because they can either start with a really shitty costume and learn or have something kind of okay and never learn. The temporary high embarrassment from having a shit first-time cosplay is now optional and most people would rather have a low lifetime embarrassment of wearing chink premades.
>>10971834It's party city but for weebs. Premade costumes have always (in recent history) been available, so kids could buy one for Halloween or make their own. That's how a lot of people start getting into cosplay. I'd argue it's way easier to get into it these days due to materials and tutorials being much more accessible. Even people who only buy costumes learn skills to patch them up or alter them. The ones who never pick up skills wouldn't have been making them in the first place.
I saw this amazing Zelda cosplayer on Instagram but I noticed she doesnt seem to be wearing any underwear or anything and she's at a con. Is she secretly wearing something underneath?
>>10970844yes they would look at you weird
>>10968710she actually just fucks him. the guy is practically a victim
>>10970844>I feel like it would be completely understandable, but would people look at me weird?Just bend your dick downwards and keep it tucked in so it's not obivous.
>>10969116Anon you might be retarded You would not say this if she was a fat fucking whale
>>10968620>visible tattoosthis is just a brother worker in a zelda outfit
Idk whatever happened to the help thread so I'm making a new one. Post your questions related to costume making, techniques and stuff.I used to scroll /cgl/ back in 2018 and participate helping other ppl. I took a long break from cosplaying and want to get back to it.
>>10970513Good makeup and nice shoes. Remember to always press your clothes properly.Simple costumes get carried by good fitting, makeup and small details. Learn to contour your face, get good anime/dolly lashes and learn eyeliner techniques if you haven't already.
How to improve?
where can i find cosplays that will actually fit a man? I want to cosplay as Asuka....Im XL as a man.

>>10972731i was talking more about her school fit
share images of your favourite maid cosplays, whether it be the cutest girls or the most fashionable and intricate designs.
>>10970653Aliexpress trash + hrt skin tone Go back to discord
>>10970653>no gloves while handling a firearmcan't even pretend to be a proper maid, get some self respect
>>10920818There used to be a Japanese brand called "Emily" that made really good quality maid outfits for the money. They might still exist but it's been years since I broke up with the gf that was into them so I'm not sure. They were hard to find online but easy to get in Japan or at larger conventions in the US.

Using Summer Byleth is probably cheating.

>>10972552I genuinely love it, thanks nonnie.I think attached is the AP I was thinking of (Romantic Scalloped JSK), but yeah that JSK definitely hits a lot of the same notes as early 2010s AP florals.
Not so much a coord but I love the kind of overdress style that can be found in this type of jsk, but I almost never see the overdress as an individual piece that can be paired with separate skirts and blouses. I will probably end up making one (or two) because I feel like they would be such an effective item to pair with the rest of my EGL wardrobe, plus I can add all the details I want to. Still, I think it's kind of weird that it doesn't exist as an item - most jsks on the market are full pieces that don't need pairing except for undergarments and blouses.
>>10972562That is a really interesting idea! Overdresses tend to be that chiffon-y, peignoir style thing these days but a structured overdress sounds phenomenal. Please do share if you make one!
>>10972608>no yuge logos or nonsense ruining itlove it
She is low tier compared to some chineses and japaneses.But when compared to americans she is pretty good.Most of the female americans are fat and ugly.
>>10965086Quality ? Are you retarded? That’s clearly an Amazon plug suit plus an unstyled wig straight from the bag. You just like her face.
>>10965755Hate to break it to you anon but she's 30 years old and has an active sex life. Aint nothing pure about that pussy no more.
>>10972464Noras cool if you're into boys
>>10965083Emiru is part Chinese. She's also said in clips that Mandarin (the official language China uses) was her first language.
>>10970511He is actually skinny but you're right about him being bald, it's Asmongold
The wig better arrive soon.
>>10959176How tall are you?

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.
>>10972474whatever, you’re a hag and you could never pretend to be YoRHa model 9 type S (the S stands for [Shota]
>>10972480of course <3
>>10972487what about the design is stupid? the shorts, the exposed skin is wonderful always; thighs you kiss, but shins you give long stripes.
>>10972489the top kind of ruins the look imo
>>10969479Hey anon If you want to search for a shiny boots that fit your leg You need to measure your leg first. if you already find the result after measuring your legs then the thing you need to do is buy a shiny boots that has the same size you already measure before. About the fake boobs, i can't help you with that so i'm sorryIdk my thread Will help you since i never go to a con before and i'm apologize for my bad English
