>be non black person (not white) doing cosplay>high expectations to be accurate with correct wig for contests and photoshoots>be black>no need to use wig or accurate cosplay. it's called ethnic wigs instead
>>10909621have you seen the shitty raceswap edits black weebs make of characters? they look like they just paint bucketed the brown color on
>>10909621So disgusting. It made my dick throw up like 100 times.
>>10891240imagine the smell
>>10909645Yep. Negroes aren't attractive at all. There's a reason why many photographers don't pay them attention at cons
>>10891240black cosplayers is white genocide
Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?OR is it because I'm male?How do you even make friends at a con?I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people. There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.
>>10910120>get friendsahah for sure anon I'll ask my friends I have those
>>10910106My tradition is to drink a 4loko at cons. Makes stumbling through lines more fun.
>>10910127realistically you will not get a room for this year's colossal. you have over a year's time to network and get yourself out there for 2025's colossal. go to cons, join local discords, be social and you can do it
>>10910127>>10910137I'll throw in on a room for 2025
>>10910137There’s also the fact that colossal rooms go fast. If you get one and post to colossal’s fb or discord that you have spots up for grabs in your room, I guarantee they will get filled. If you make a post like that though, make it clear IN the post that you aren’t just looking to fill spaces in the room, but you’re also looking for people to hang with at the con

>>10910075>Sweetfag People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
>107 days until Fanime>No vaccines but still have mask mandate in placeDid you get the hotel you wanted?What are your cosplay plans?How are we feeling about this year?
>>10909867You'll definitely like Parkcon (if it happens this year) and the raves. Parkcon had people striking up convos with randos and free shots. If you're in cosplay, people tend to strike up more convo with you as well.Even just hanging outside at night is great. I've never been to a Fanime room party (I've only done WorldCon back in 2017) and as far as I know, they don't usually advertise them out in the open like they do at capeshit/sci-fi/furry cons.It's not that people are necessarily hostile outside of that, even though there's lots of horror stories. Hell, I'm wary of socializing at the con at times because of spilled spaghetti at panels, both ways.The evening crowd tends to be a party crowd. Take that with a grain of salt, I think the last time I was there before 11AM was in 2011. :V>>10909868>projecting this hard
>>10909919at least the stages are no loss, game room programming was always a hot mess
>>10909949IDK, I liked the random Jackbox stuff.I don't know why they won't have Guildhouse do promos. It might have something to do with Finali still working with them.
fresh stupid shit from Fanime.ball pit was "art" and was just going to be looked atwhoever the tard wrangler at fanime is put the exec who had the idea in a headlock till they cried uncleturns out it was an execs planprobably meant as a fuck you to the staff that quit

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? :]
>>10868275I've been going to cons for a decade now and I have never figured out what these TV heads are supposed to be. I just kinda assumed it was a tradition at anime cons, like how there used to be a tradition before covid of going to cons as Deadpool and being a jackass.
>>10904266Im still not sure after reading thishttps://fridaynightfunking.fandom.com/wiki/Category:TV_Heads
>>10898637>even when cosplaying a CRT they still dress like slutstiresome
I'm going to do my first cosplay soon too.
>>10909969Me too anonTomorrow in fact
CCC #2 Repent EditionWhat recently mischiefs have you done recently? Or plan on perpetuate on your next innocent victims.Me: Ask someone if I can play Street Fighter II on the SNES classic. It was a close match manage to win, He was getting ready for a rematch but I say thank you and prepare to leave, He leaves first. Also after that pick up some free posters that some left of the consoles table and I leave.Also repent for being lazy and missing 3 cons this year.
I'm only doing cosplay because I've been exiled from my IRL friend group and need to find a new circle before I kill myself
>>10900411Also asexual, similar experiences being hit on. It's like people smell it and they want what they know they can't have. Nice to know I'm hot but really sucks when I'm a socially autistic retard that has a hard time saying no, so I just have to visibly cringe until they go away which feels even more rude but I do it automatically every time like clockwork.
>>10903550It's an anime thing for me. There are probably more of us. You just gotta know where to look. I sure don't!
>>10820217>i gave away expired condoms to horny ass weebs at a late night partyIts all dudes and trannies. The few girls are the type that dont sex anyways so you pretty much accomplished nothing.
I will just say I'm at Conventions with a Game Boy Camera.
It's just a couple of weeks away. Is anyone in the area going, or have you been to it in past years? What did you think if so? Seems to have a pretty solid selection of guests.
This board is so dead.... I didn't realize this con was coming up, but I'll probably drive up to Huntsville and check it out. I went once years back, it was fun. Met so many Homestuck cosplayers (to give you an idea of how far back this was). It used to be easier to find AL gulls...
>>10908683>Met so many Homestuck cosplayers (to give you an idea of how far back this was).I'm gonna be real with you bro, I'm going this year and Saturday is 4/13. I'm a total cosplay noob but I'm still throwing a basic bitch Bro together, I can't NOT do it.
>>10908714Fuck yeah. I might go as Jane or Terezi in that case! I hope a lot of homestucks come out of their retirement homes this con.
it's gonna be my first con tomorrow and i'm kinda stressed
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10908346AYRT i would love to attend a panel like that
>>10866322I've a load of phptographs from 2013 to 2016 when I got back into photographing cons on film after I realised little to none of the digital shit survived.I've no idea what to do with it all Maybe when I finally hang meself someone will find it.
>>10909297Jarring to see more modern characters on film. You should post more here and not hang yourself.
https://youtu.be/BVb0Ll3vINU?si=wMnVqBZ54cLOHB-uYup makes me feel really nostalgic in that nice comforting way. I revert to watching a lotta early 2010s/2000s stuff when I fall into depressive episodes good times
>>10909863lol is one of those guys a midget?
Are Bridget and Poison like the only cosplays a MtF can do that aren't traps/femboys?
>>10905138>posts a biological woman cosplaying a manlmaono you can’t pull off bridget he’s too feminine for you to pass off
>>10905138You can't even do that, that's why you used a woman for the OP pic
>>10905138mahiro from onimai and that one twin tail girl from an old anime. You can just cosplay female characters
Alice from Superjail and Marshmallow from Bob's Burgers >>10908643Is that Bruce Campbell's illegitimate son?
>>10908643this nigga has a bigger jaw and hands than me how over is it
I do some amateur cosplay for events once or twice a year and I was convinced to try crossplaying for once. It consistently does better than my previous cosplays. What now?
>>10909780most ppl cosplaying at the events I go to just pick up some random genshin cosplay online. I started cosplaying bc of carnaval (Portuguese party in some cities where ppl dress up either in whatever they want or some sort of satire fit) and get drunk asf, how I broke my ump prop. The cosplaying at cons is somewhat secondary.
>>10909600Might as well embrace it
>>10909783That sounds like fun. The Portuguese are alright.
>>10909783Yeah thats normal cosplayer lol
>>10909901Yep, ppl dress up in all sorts of dumb stuff and go party in the streets very late at night, sometimes even smoking weed in public even though its illegal here. The whole motto is "Carnaval ninguem leva a mal" (sort of means people are chill at carnaval). Its also tradition for guys to crossdress very unconvincingly, as a cosplayer I was dared to crossplay there and here I am.
What’s on your playlist?.
>>10902935In terms of anime music, a mix of songs from whatever we're currently watching and nostalgic classics from shows my friends and I were into back in the day. I also end up playing a lot of country too though since that's the main normie music I'm into and nothing is a better fit for driving for hours across the middle of nowhere.
I listen to a lot of feel-good energetic-electronic music.1) Snail's House2) Moe ShopJPOP1) ClariS2) Perfume3) Kyary Pamyu PamyuI also like artists that make Weeb-themed music:1) PaiDA2) YFU Baby3) PiNKII
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQHMnoOCejk
If I'm honest I listen to all kinds of music, most of the time I listen to lofi to relax faster, but the artists that are always on my playlist are 1- Beabadoobee2- Chloe Moriondo 3- Inabakumori (a lot of vocaloid songs) 4- Yakui the Maid 5- Takayan The others are very random, but as long as they relax me and agree with my mood, I am happy, I guess I don't pay much attention to genres of music desu
>>10902935https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoHIwJrJf3s
It really really really sucks when you find a cosplayer who is genuinely cute (left) but then photoshops their face into looking like aliens (right)Please please please for the love of god rely less on editing
>>10909856Kek all that shoop and she couldn't remove that big ass tag sticking out of her costume?
>>10909861You just think that because she's showing more skin.
>>10909875It tastefully covers her armpit.
>>10909869Id bang an old lady.
>>10909869didn't know shoop works irl too. What a time to be alive.Also if you can't tell if something is shooped to hell and back you deserve to be disappointed by reality.
Old thread is nearing its limit >>10790295This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.
