I'm too old to understand this subculture please enlighten melike how do you feel when you larp as an anime character makes you feel like
>>10896009Borderline Personality Disorder, unironically. Look up the narcissist-borderline cycle.
i love making stuff. same as anyone who likes woodworking or spinning pottery.i love anime and japan. but you usually get a ton of crap like weebs who've only seen 2010s mainstream shit and who never learned japanese (i'm far from perfect, but at least i've passed jlpt n1). i like feeling at home with my weeb level at a con. i feel odd at cons if i dont cosplay. and i would love to wear weeb shit like geta every day but that's unacceptable for a white guy so i cosplay semi-traditional characters instead. i like feeling like someone else.secretly i hope if i cosplay at a con someone'll wanna fuck. i've only ever been in serious relationships brought on by love confessions, i'd love to experience a one-night stand.
>>10895583Halloween was always my favorite holiday, guess that carried onto adulthood with better excuses to dress up.
I just do it because I hope it will help me make friends and maybe a gf (male) someday
>>10895906>>10896115way too many larpers and retards itt. you felt nothing wearing it because you bought shitty mass produced chinese crap at goodwill and threw it on like a kid playing dress up. maybe lolita just isn't your style, but you weren't wearing lolita, so how could you know? without investing time into learning about the fashion, its history, and each of its coordination elements, you're going to look like shit. enjoy your $5 poly sack you obnoxious autist. >its like putting up a christmas tree. it's no good if you just "Wear it"lolita fashion is clothing. it's not cosplay. it's designed to be regularly worn. your "reason" to wear it is that it's fucking cute and makes you feel good about yourself. as someone who also has mostly traditionally male hobbies, the way you dress has nothing to do with what you do in your free time. and if some dumbfuck moid giving you a hard time over your frilly dresses makes you want to stop wearing them, then lolita is not the fashion for you.
iirc it happened to take place around the 2010's with either the new 52 and/or the suicide squad movie but i'm not sure on how everyone decided to start dressing up as her(for that matter, did any major (cos)player dress up as her prior to 2011?)

>>10910389honestly i doubt the bodysuit is considered "slutty" as it werehonestly it's more covered-up/kid-safe
>>10910417Forgive me for staring.
>>10910426Bruv that’s JNig, she wants people to stare. That’s what her whole career is based on
>>10910187update from the man himself: i totally miscalculated the “when”
Previous thread >>10803531 died from a lack of posts. Not all that surprising with how little there was to post about at the time. Personally I'm also somewhat done with /cgl/ and all the pointless con drama and have been focusing on other things. But now that we've got several conventions around the corner, have a new thread!Question of the thread: What convention are you looking forward to the most this year and why?Upcoming major events>22-23 Sep: Elfia Haarzuilens, a large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens.>6-7 May: MIA NL, a popular commercial anime convention in Gorinchem.>21-21 May: Comic Con Brussels, a large commercial geek convention in Brussels.>9-11 June: Animecon, the oldest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Rijswijk.>24-25 June: Heroes DCC, the largest commercial geek convention with a focus on dealers. >30 Jun-2 Jul: Dokomi DE, a large popular anime convention in Dusseldorf.>8-9 July: Atsusacon, Belgium's largest anime convention... I think?>3-6 August: Castlefest, a(nother) large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens with tons of great food.>11-13 August: Abunai!, the second oldest and probably now largest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Veldhoven.>12-13 August: Showmasters Comic Con Amsterdam, a geek convention in Amsterdam.Comment too long.

>>10899683Would Elfia Haarzuilens be worth traveling to from the UK? I skimmed the youtube videos of the cons on the list and it seemed the most fun. Price wise it doesn't seem much more than going to a non-local UK con.
>tfw when no cosplaying dutch bf
>>10905933I would say so if you like fantasy fairs. I personally really like Elfia. Nice location, always something to do or see.Unfortunately it's kinda shit if it rains a lot. But that's a risk you have to take.
Facts 2024 spring had too much funko's. Lotsa cute girls though
>book hotel for anime con>think of it I booked right by the event center>check reservation from email>hotel is inside chinatownHow badly did I screw this up? Will train be okay? I do not want to taxi.
Thread for good cosplays that are suggestive but still for a blue board (no nudity)
>>10908020yeah it must be shocking to realize you're a pedo. this girl shooped her face into that of a 12 year old and you get a boner from it. seek help

>>10908532Nobody was looking at her face, I can tell you that much.
>>10908532Stay triggered landwhale bitch. Nobody finds you attractive.

Thinking of going to animangapop
>>10909838Calling bullshit. People have been trying to create drama between Kita and Kokoro for years
>>10910191and it's always members of kitacon and kokoro
which con do people recommend more, Kitacon or Kokorocon?
>>10909930Well this might be the last Koko. Kitacon is every 2 year Amecon has dropped like a pancake And toko is every year.
another attempt at an appreciation thread to discuss this beautiful Austrian cosplayer. things to discuss:>her cosplay>her gravure sets>photos she herself poststhings not to discuss:>her nudes>drama>her flaws
>>10907353Extremely cute and fluid.I love the way Keekihime's hair flies around at the end.
Anyone going to her meet n greet?
>>10907592It's a shame she provides homes for people? huh.
>>10910147It seemed like quite a few people were planning on flying in, even outside of SEA.
>>10910163that anon is triggered because she doesn't just spend all her money on useless shit but also invested some of it.
What are some cosplay stories that you'll remember for the rest of your life?Wholesome: Cosplaying some My Little Penis characters with my then-gf when a little girl started freaking out over how great we looked. She got her dad to take loads of pictures with both of us.Less wholesome: I saw a fur-suiter yelling at his wife.Least wholesome: Walking to the convention center behind my friend's sister in her Sailor Saturn cosplay, on a windy day. She either didn't notice or didn't care that her bare ass was playing aggressive peekaboo with me. Only time I've ever wanted the walk from the hotel to be longer.Sad: I was at Twitchcon when that lady broke her spine.
>Party at the hotel room with a bunch of strangers>We're all drinking and eating and having a good time>I brought a jar of homemade kimchi with me because I was so into making that stuff>*suddenly tears*>Asian chick is sobbing as she drinks and eats the Kimchi>It's Baek Kimchi it's not even spicy>"Where did you get this Kimchi?">Oh I made it, it's not too hot is it?>"No no, it's perfect.">She continues eating the Kimchi as she quietly sobsParty very promptly dissipated after that. Who the hell is going to have a good time with a crying chick in the middle of the room?Never found out what her deals was or met that group ever again
>>10910653Maybe the kimchi gave her that Anton-Ego-Flashback from Ratatouille
>>10910653Korean and Japanese women (and to a lesser extent Chinese women) always cry when they get drunk. They're broken weirdos. If you make them come they cry and then worship you. It's really kinda creepy when you think about it. Don't stop me from making them choke on the D while they slob on the knob tho
>>10910669Perhaps the most cringe post ITT.
>>10910678Cringe?!?!?! on 4chan?Fuck off kid
So I'm trying make the weapons in pic related and I was wondering what materials I should use.
Any good Latex / Vinil / Tight and shiny cosplays?
Hi CGL,I'm launching a bespoke latex clothing and cosplay range, and would like to know what you enjoy about rubber.Not promoting, I'd be grateful if you took some time to fill out my questionnaire. It's completely private, won't take long and all questions are optional.https://forms.gle/Q8KpGD45Px1EFTHMAIf you have any questions or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
So I roomed with other people this year of the first time and it was actually a fantastic time. Why do people always make this seem like shit? Any of you got any horror stories
>>10810063J for Jamal and M for Melissa (who was white)
>>10816851Lmao amazing
>>10901290I've taken to using instant film for a lot of that as I get older. Gives people a cool memento, but it's gone for 20 quid a pack to over 100 and they're a lot less reliable since the last ones expired in 2019. Still feels special. I might just adapt the damned thing to run on instax.
My horror story isn't so bad but sucked at the time - roomed with friend (con-goer) and their mom (non-con-goer). In the days before public wifi. Friend's mom is obese and snores insanely loud all 2 nights of 3 day con so neither me nor my friend get any sleep. Then the mom racks up hugeass phone bill by calling relatives on hotel phone - didn't listen to the receptionist's instructions during check-in, nor read the instructions written on the phone, both explaining it's not free. Friend's mom can't afford to pay own phone bill, irately argues with hotel staff for 2 hours while my mom drives down to bail her out and pay for her.

@kyuubivi_cosplay
They got the nickname because they were developed for people with autism, but these things are quite handy even if you don't have autism. Especially for cosplayers.Green - Feel Free to approach me and start a conversationYellow - Don't approach me unless I already know youRed - Don't approach me, I'm busyJust hanging in the hall and want people to approach you for pictures? Flip it to green. On your way to a panel/event and don't want to get stopped? Flip it to yellow. Sitting down to eat and don't want to be bothered? Flip it to red.
>>10910493They generally give them out to everyone
>>10906789>I always set mine to 'green'Does anyone talk to you?
>>10906789Generally curious how did the cards work?
>>10910617I think so yeah >>10910629You put the green-yellow-red stickers and flip them to whatever (ie as someone said a busy cosplayer can set hers to red, someone running a meetup to green etc)
>>10909076That becomes a bit of a gray area, but the general rule of thumb is if they know your name, it's probably safe to talk to them. However, for some people it means they only wanted to be approached by close friends. Just know that yellow means they may not be in their best mood so don't get offended if they brush you off.>>10910629As a cosplayer they worked great for me. Lots of people stop and ask me and my friends for pictures and sometimes I'm just not up for posing for photos.
>>10910222I know this is the "cosplay meta" but some photos get so shopped and filtered they might aswell be CGI..Like, it pisses me off. There's a cosplayer I follow who's super handsome in-person and does really good makeup but you could NEVER tell from the photos because he always filters/smooths/liquifies the hell out of his pics
>>10910272It really sucks that nowadays even if you're naturally good looking(specifically in the context of cosplayers), many people will just assume you have great makeup/photoshop skills instead.
Akumakon in Febuary, who's going?
>>10910369What panels did you go to? I ran the horror panel.
>>10910460Just chilled in the bar for the most, or chilled with people I hadn't seen in a while.The atmosphere was definitely better than it was last year. Nearly didn't go back after last year. Already swort it was my last one but things looked brighter....
>>10910478What happened last year?
>>10910492Nothing at all. There was just a massive black cloud over the weekend and nothing was fun. Pic unrelated
>>10910517the whores are behaving overall, not whoredom overload on display, the car bombs workedlight up the fillies and pass the stout
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
>>10910213nekopara does have an all ages version. this is a bit different, more like when people used to unironically cosplay black bible.>>10910214that's not kek lel kek my guy.
>>10910221>that's not kek lel kek my guyI’m guessing what they meant by that is that they don’t see risqué cosplays at cons anymore (which hasn’t been my experience personally, but that’s pretty dependent upon what cons you’re going to)
>>10910150The nipples pastries are definitely too extreme to wear at a con. Maybe some cosplayers will use fake boobs or just wear a bra/bikini top with stars. But even then I wonder how many are willing to cosplay her since her design isn't that appealing.
>>10830427Over a year after this anon's prediction and I'm seeing a shitton of Vash cosplays Most of them are chicks too
>>10910264I've seen Sugar cosplayers before, confident people would wear the pasties. But those pants are a non-starter, they'd be so uncomfortable.
