Did the grill truck get their alcohol dumped out by jannies too?
I saw them start doing it to the rave truck but then after they dumped a couple someone came and took the cooler back from them
>>
>>10972454
Nah, AN staff are as soft as baby shit. They didn't dare go out during Saturday when the grill was out and people were playing sets at the other truck. But they did shut the grill down on Friday, near the truck rave.

>>10972454
they did but the grill and truck people threatened them which is why AN jannies should be allowed to open carry

Western lolitas also add "be a harpy/spinster man hater" into the rulebook replete with fun vocabulary like "scrote" to address their male nemesis. So fun having them coexist with cosplay threads, having to see all the simps jacking off to hot cosplays and sexy maido while loli-chan seethes and rages in her petticoat and frills.

You know, you appear correct. Haven't been on here a few months but all the usual outfit of the day etc. threads are missing. Where did they go, tiktok or something...interesting.

I know where but I can't tell, or else the coomers will follow

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.

How can I make decent looking robot legs for Uzi Doorman cosplay.

I was thinking maybe buy silver tights and paint on them. I've been looking Mettaton cosplayers for reference. How do they add black lines on highly synthetic fabric?

Use a silvery stretch fabric. Put batting/foam between two layers and stitch together to make the ridges.

Good 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.

Are you traveling in from out of town or staying nearby?
Will you be attending solo or with friends?

...for that matter; what are your thoughts on theme parks that allow cosplays for a few events?
>>
>>10970357
I think it's neat. Not sure about Orlando but Universal Hollywood also allows costumes during HHN, though most don't dress up since it's usually very hot and uncomfortably crowded. Most of the cosplay I saw at Fanfest was from the featured IPs (I did not cosplay).
As for the event I think they're kinda stuck between not wanting to pour too much money into something with so-so attendance, but also needing to do more and not cheap out to attract attendees. The lines for the One Piece restaurant were crazy though, so they're definitely making decent money on the food. If you like rides, pretty much everything was a walk-on including Mario Kart.

Why is there such a stigma against girls who cosplay for money? As someone who has never had a girlfriend, being able to send money to cute girls who cosplay as the characters that I love is one of the only things in my life that makes me feel like I have a purpose. From patreon to onlyfans, it's on of my biggest joys and motivations in my life. One day I hope I can give money to a cosplayer at a con in real life and not just through the internet.

Women can't do anything these days without backlash. If they can make a quick buck doing something they like then fair play to them. Also they wouldn't be doing it if there wasn't a market for it as OP has shown
>>
If they actually cosplay and come have fun at cons? You do you, even if I find it odd.
If they just wear a wig and do porn? Fuck off, go get blacked or some shit hoe.
My only other issue is if they go to cons explicitly to just get risque pics in the general area for their OF. Go rent a studio, hotel, airbnb, whatever. Why do that shit at a con? People paying to have a good time arent your backdrop and dont consent to it, its awkward as hell having someone find you in the background of some whore's smut.

Boob grabs would likely fall under prostitution laws. You can't even touch strippers in the US, though you can in French Canada. The jurisprudence carve-out for the kinks is obviously a violation of the spirit of the law.

That makes sense. Japanese stuff tends to have more of a dedicated audience. Everyone recognises popular characters from recent anime and manga, but a general audience won’t recognise any manhwa characters, even if the manhwa is widely read. Korean comics feel very ephemeral. I’ve read many, but hardly remember them at all. Meanwhile, I’ve never read Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw Man, but I would recognise the characters anywhere. Even with gaming, Nier: Automata made much more of a cultural impact than Stellar Blade. Maybe for this reason you guys prefer j-idols, although I personally can’t get into j-idol music
>>
Personally I like both korean and japanese music in multiple genres, and both k-idols and j-idols and both countries have a pretty vibrant music scene. K-pop does actively promote itself internationally a lot more than the jpop industry. And because of that work kpop has grown a big fanbase overseas. But for whatever reason that fandom participation has focused almost entirely on recreating the choreo instead of the vocals from their favorites.
And it's not to say that jpop isn't without its share of generic slop. There are dozens and dozens of mid generic fluffy costume, simple bubbly love song j-idol groups out there that are invisible to the international audience.

Did anyone go to Animayhem? How was Paida?

I like the new LL releases, generally.

Does anyone have any tips for getting "back into" jirai? I started my wardrobe in 2021 so I have some older items but I couldn't buy any more for like the last 2 years and I'd like to change my wardrobe to be a little less neanderthal jirai but it's been so long idk where to start anymore
>>
>>10969692
i suggest to check second hand websites because you can find some pretty good cheap stuff on there. interacting with lots of jirai content has helped me improve a lot too!

It's autumn
>>
>>10934533
the 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 23

Where 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.

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.

Meet people at cons beforehand and figure out if they're chill. Once you find the right people that aren't creeps and pay properly then try rooming with them again.
