>a recurring theme in PLZA is the public opinion on Wild Zones>you're constantly running into locals voicing their concerns over Quasartico occupying parts of the city to build more Wild Zones>they're also bringing in wild Pokemon to inhabit them>these wild Pokemon roam the streets littering them with items, attacking people in broad daylight, stealing things from them, causing all sorts of trouble, etc.>the streets are trashed, filled with dangerous wild Pokemon, and it's no longer safe to go out at night because certain areas are designated hotspots where trainers will jump you at a moment's notice>the natives are restless and make remarks about how the city is a farcry from the Lumiose they know and loveIs this….a euphemism for something?
Yeah hippies in my country made it illegal to mow lawns and weeds in public areas, causing people with allergies to suffer and weeds to infest private gardensalso "rewilding" projects and reintroducing dangerous animals that were hunted to extinction centuries ago

I want to be a skyscraper for Halloween. The goal is to take up as much floor space as possible while still being able to walk through doors, so I want my costume to take up about 1m*1m*whatever height around me. And of course if I'm in a crowd I want the costume to not get smushed. So what I'm thinking is a rigid rectangular prism frame of some sturdy material (black in the image) with fabric stretched around it. Then if I have time, a 3d printed version of a skyscraper's crown. My biggest question is how to do the frame. I was initially thinking PVC with 3 way connectors at the corners. But it turns out that stuff is more expensive than I thought, so now I'm considering wooden dowels. But there's no convenient 3 way corner connectors for dowels as far as I've seen. Maybe I'd 3d print that. But I figured there's a good chance I'm overlooking something obvious, and I'd better ask the experts. You guys have any ideas?

>>10930434why are you so mad?
>>10930431it's so funny to me that it's the height of summer and americans go "you know what this needs? Spooky shit! Halloween is coming (in a few months)".
>>10933778It's autumn
>>10934533the meteorological summer season starts on June 1 and lasts three months, until September 1.Astronomical summer lasts from the date of the summer solstice until the autumnal equinox, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on September 22 or 23Where do you live where it's autumn already?Where I live we can still get heat waves until mid october at the latest. If I get past that point I finally feel like it's autumn even though it officially started ages ago.Also, to clarify why I made that comment; I don't associate hot weather with halloween, and it will be a few months (from when halloween stuff starts popping up in stores, not from now) until halloween is actually there.
not falling off anytime soon
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+
>>10947633>What do you think of kids at cons?I saw a like 3-4 year old Nezuko waddling around at a con once with her parents. She found a Shinobu plushie and kept trying to get her mom's attention to buy it for her, but her mom was yapping to some other person and couldn't hear her. It really inspired me to keep going to cons, because some day I'll have kids of my own, and I'll take them to cons with me too.
>>10958399I dont know whom
>>10962960...banana?
>>10947633why asking?
is my gyaru makeup any good ? i just started doing it a few weeks ago :3 what tips do u guys and gals have 4 me? drop em in da replys and i will update X3 also time stamp will be in replys!
>>10935074>"horrible makeup">mentions 3/5 things that have nothing to do with makeupWords mean things retard. And one of your actual makeup related critiques, "looks crusty" is so pointless and vague OP asking for critique can't get anything out of it. You just sound like a coomer who's never worn makeup a day in his life. And if you aren't that's even more pathetic.
>>10947519kek
>>10934537will u be my wife
>>10934536If this post is real, your gyaru make up is spot on. What's the outfit with it? Are you going to make your hair more expressive or stick with the pigtails?
Some answers here are strange
Do you prefer to cosplay as more well-known or "underground" less known characters from more obscure media?Historically all of my cosplays have been somewhat obscure game characters, at least in my region, very little people play Yakuza so the few people that recognized my Kiryu cosplay made me feel quite good
>>10963012Ultimately you do you. If you cosplay to be admired by others, then obviously this is a problem. If you complain for yourself, have fun (but don't get annoyed when everyone asks you what it is).
>>10963012I cosplay as whatever I want, regardless of whether they're well-known or not. I dressed up for a Halloween event earlier and people could tell who I was though (it's easy to mistake it for something else, so I was pleasantly surprised people got who I was going for).
>>10963012Yeah, it’s nice when I’m RE 2 Leon. Especially when Ada and Ashley cosplayers approach me. But there’s just something about being obscure character, and someone still recognizes you. I was pic related and the whole weekend only twice did someone know what I was (The group of Viking cosplayers were really hyped to see me.)
>>10963012That depends on a lot of factors
>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
>>10923843niggers don't like it when its the other way around. They know what they're doing in this regard>pushes for shit like not using wigs cuz le expression>has con thats race-restricted just for this>raceswaps characters to be black, sometimes labelling it as 'fixing'>attacks anyone who draws a dark character slightly lighter than the original>calls anyone else doing the same things to them racistof course most of them vote democrat, which explains their subversiveness and hypocrisy
>>10891574It honestly looks better if they cosplay a black version of a white character, instead of trying to look white. Same with white cosplayers who dress as an explicitly Japanese character without doing "yellow face." The only ethnic makeup that's common is Asians pretending to be white.Unironically the libs are correct about "cosplay what you want"
>>10931036I'd rather see the blackest retard gorilla nigger cosplay my waifu because they like the character, than see a professional asian "model" cosplay my waifu for clout
>>10962272I'm at point where I find it easier to avoid them completely at cons. Them being black was never my issue but overtime it's just not worth engaging with them knowing there's a high chance they either don't like white people which some legitimately do or make it apparent they rather deal with their own kind.
this thread is boring
I want to organize a local KPOP/Anime//tg/ convention. What are your tips for first time convention runners? What do you expect at minimum from any event you go to?
>>10962990Good audio. It is super noticeable and not that hard to do properly.I've been to events where they run the audio/videos from a potato that struggled to open a damn video player.Make sure you dont get antivirus popups (lmao, who uses an antivirus anymore)Have a playlist with enough songs that you dont have to repeat. Once went to an event that had like 6 songs on a loop, it was irritating.Mind aspect ratios for projectors. Modern projectors are all 16:9, but there are still a lot of 4:3 screens around, particularly provided by venues (they never change the screens because they dont break). You can set up your videos for 4:3 so you dont have part of it projecting outside of the screen.Mind audio clipping, it happens when you turn the volume higher than the amps can actually handle and distorts the signal, it sounds like shit.If you have performers scheduled, try to avoid repeats of songs. A cuple weeks back I went to an event where 3 guests (planned guests, not random participants) sang the same song.If you want to have contests and give prizes, make it clear what youre giving, whether you give cash or merch, make it clear.
>>10962990why not add furries and stamps collectors to the mix?
Old thread got that broken OP
>>10951139its a big thing to lug around..>>10957465and so is THAT
>>10957466this. its made worse by that fact shes a fucking manly looking gaijin, like why would you even try something so retarded when you stand out as a goofy alien in the first place.

Otakon is a million years away, but I finally got a Marriott Marquis room, any tips for having maximum fun while there? I only experienced it during the day, is the night scene any different? Is it acceptable to switch to a different cosplays at night?
>>10960001>untrimmed HP capeMan, he has better taste than I expected. I considered goin in a skillcape+phat this year, but I kinda hate the direction jagex has taken RS in these last couple of years, so I'd feel bad cosplaying from a series that I no longer like. (maxed btw) (I kept my untrimmed HP cape btw)>>10960000Trying to piece together a cosplay at dealer hall sounds kinda fun, if I'm being honest. Could be a cool thing to try at some point
>>10960019Yeah it was fun putting something together on the fly. I think next year I'll just have something ready ahead of time. Im 6'4 so most of the shit the had didnt fit me. One of the few moments I wish I was a bit shorter
>>10960000>>10960019You used to be able to get dressed at cons, so to speak. When I started going to cons ten years ago, there were always a few booths selling cosplay parts: many sold wigs, some sold pieces. I remember you could walk in with no cosplay like our dear anon here and find something easily for at least day 1; I specifically remember one place selling Astolfo's wig and a different place selling his school uniform, so if you were tiny enough you could walk out of the dealer room as Astolfo. Haven't really seen dealers like that much at post-covid cons even though cosplay is super popular now, it's usually just the sword sellers in the back of dealer rooms left.
Bump for next year
>>10960002T???
are you weebs mixing harajuku fashion and fandom again
>>10955569nope, but thanks for asking
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
>>10959861Do you think there's a chance this thread is dead?
>>10960551Not on your life, my Hindu friend!
>>10927713>do men or guys who don't crossplay not get how much time and effort goes into that?100% no. The amount of chronically online dudes who have no idea a girl is wearing makeup is staggering. So, so many posts will praise a girl for "not wearing makeup, like the natural face" when the girl is wearing HEAVY e-girl makeup, it happens all the time. Apparently unless a girl looks like a gaudy clown, they just assume the flawless poreless porcelain face is just how some people are (lel).I cosplay with my GF and her makeup takes the absolute longest time to get perfect. I wear some makeup and even simple foundation/contour takes a lot of effort.>Marin100% makeup makes or breaks the cosplay.

Is it even ....
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
Most cons nowadays are just purely profit driven, and everything about it is to squeeze as much money out of you as possible. Otakon, DragonCon and other non-profit cons still exist, and they actually put the attendee's enjoyment ahead of maximizing profit. But they have to compete with the big corporate cons for guests, exhibitors and audience, so the current con culture suffers no matter where you go.
>>10963097unc status
>>10926084depends what you mean
>>10963121wrong!
>>10926091Most of this is wrong except>watching anime was one of the primary activities besides panels.it was a magical timeIs correct.Getting to a 11pm showroom playing hentai and taking three girls with daddy issues back to your hotel room was something that won't happen as easily anymore, anime is too mainstream a hobby these days
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
>>10902579I honestly think banning community drama posts helped kill the board. Was it a toxic aspect? YesBut it's still a part of our community building.
>>10909525Anime went to shit once Japanese sci fi and fantasy nerds stopped making it. I do not count isekai trash as true fantasy.
>>10959370if the board was only kept alive by people making threads calling FOTM cosplayer a slut, then let it die
>>10902194Have you ever considered not cosplaying as such breedable characters?
>>10902106nothing special desu
