>>10975718who’s this
I wish there was a better lolita snark site/secrets spot than 4chan now that BTB has been gone for three years. I want places to be mean about itas and share secrets without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.
Shit like this is why im too afraid to get into lolita fashion despite desperately wanting too

Would it count as a cosplay if it’s a real guy?
yes this character would count even if they're based on a real person
I have seen cosplays of among other things: Succulent Chinese Meal, Queen Elizabeth, Douglas MacArthur, John Paul II. Of course it counts
>>10974778depends on the location you cosplay
This con is comparable to the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King, the film that swept the Oscars, in terms of Canadian cons. The Kimi no na Wa. The End of Evangelion.Who's going?
Who was the Asian lady selling itabags for $60CAD with Jap rabbits on them? Bought one and it's good shit.Also that one area with the autographs was absolute hell up to the single escalator, literally dangerous, con needs a cap.

I recently started cosplaying and I don't understand how other cosplayers get sponsors. I haven't found a job yet because companies don't want to hire someone with a disability. Pls give me some recommendations.
>>10977079Oooo i see I didn't know that. I know cosplayers who were doing cosplays based on sponsorships, but they may have been content creators at some point, which would explain how they can have sponsors.
>>10977146You need a spotter. Fort he job, just apply to a call center or a job you can work from home, it should be easier as you are disabled
>>10977039pop a willie
>>10977204*wheelie
>>10977179I thought the same thing, I've already applied for 400 jobs like that and they haven't hired me, the situation is difficult, but I'm still going to try to continue with cosplays using recycled materials, my only problem would be the wigs.
>Late 20s cosplayer who was active pre pandemic and did fanservice cosplays>Pre Pandemic, most cosplay girls(even the ero ones) where definitely nerds, hot girls who found an outlet and overall it felt more authentic>2025? I go to a con and the popular or attractive girls are either failed models, athletes, fitness addicts who are trying to make it big in the cosplay and anime world by being an influencer
Back then when a single beautiful woman did cosplay, she would get a lot of attention.A lot of people would post her photos, she would get popular.Thus other women see this and also want the same type of attention, even when they aren't fans of anything.But still it wasn't easy to make your own costume or to buy a good one.Now the chinese mass manufacture cosplay outfist that look good enough for most people.
>fitness addicts who are trying to make it big in the cosplay and anime worldWhats the problem with this? Lots of anime girls are supposed to be fit, way more than there are fit otaku foids. Fitter/more attractive girls doing cosplay just means hotter girls to look at. Is OP gay?
>>10967341Eh?Look, I didn't Jessica Nigri and was worried about Twitch not being just nerdy gamers (and mostly men) anymore and letting the thots in, and now the one of the biggest streamer is someone who literally denigrate gamers on the fucking gaming platform, for exampleBut let's be honest, we were all called misogynists for being worried/unhappy about it along with basically the entire establishment coming on our ass for any sort of attempted gatekeeping
>>10976091that girl is AI
>>10967291what's the deal with YayaHan anyway? Everybody praises her like she's some kind of god. its really gay
I'M GONNA GUM!

if abyone got MOAR of her then poast it, she's obscene as fuck just the way I like it

>be me>con this weekend>feel I am tool old (29) and need to hang up the costume>get invited to con, birthday sucked so say might as well >we all do some basic leftover cosplay nothing big >meet my /v/ros and /g/eeks all about the same age outside one guy we will call Steve>steve is 36 became a /fit/ faggot not really buff doesn't even have a six pack and really isn't like what you see on /fit/ but w/e>faggot does crossplay(love live, miku, etc) for memes he's not even 6ft like the rest of us>36 year old faggot somehow getting more attention than anyone despite being way older than us and barely fit like has good arms I guess>day 0, friday, saturday drunk and bonucing between room parties like he's a college frat person like a fag>no one is even asking his age even see some girls flirting with him who are probably like 24>meanwhile our group is basically ignored(we were doing old cartoon network stuff and my friend was doing a TACO meme)>even when people sobered up people were like "Oh hey steve!" What the fuck gives? I'm sobering up at the airport right now and looking back this just makes me more pissed off I stopped doing cons because everyone was saying "25 is too old for cosplay" and covid kinda solidified that. I don't get how he wasn't seen as a creep or divorced dad. Are women and zoomers actually this fucking stupid? Why should some faggot who is 36 get more attention than people who aren't giant faggot shitposters. He's too old right?
How are you doing now, OP?
>>10955089>>10955099>Anon feels old and busted and acts like it>Unabashedly expresses jealousy towards friend who is living his best life without taking things to seriously>Throws friend under the bus straight up calling him unlikeable based on the fact that he has a good time and is accepted>Thinks being eccentric is inherently bad>Learns people are drawn towards good vibes, respectful behavior and charisma>Surprised no one wants to hang out with a sad mopey pileTake it as a life lesson. Attitude changes a lot how people will perceive you and act around you.If >AFO was such a waste of time it makes me sad, my dexters lab outfit was confused with meme man dr pepper shit>I just don't get how some eccentric person could get people to like him.>He didn't even try to do his cosplay right was the same vibe you spread during the con, then don't be surprised it turns off others. If people actually approached you thinking you cosplayed something else, you could have easily used it as a starter and playfully joke around it instead of being a bitter autist.
>>10955089>anon has a friend who's extrovert, fit and positive alla round>anon is a fat,narcisistic, entitled repressed faggot>why is everyone loving him and ignoring me reeeeeekys
>>10955099Florida here, you're fucking retarded lmaoyou have a shit personality and no one wants to be around you. You only do the most superficial things to "get women" and expect them to come to you when ur probably a chubby asshole with no whimsy
>>10955089Steve sounds pretty based, ngl.
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
>>10854523OK Ariel
>>10962776There's probably some fetish.
>>10962776Pretend to be gay.
Seafoam Serenade was absolutely gorgeous, why did FinFun discontinue it?
I want to cosplay as Chainsaw Man, which costume do you recommend? My friends say I look cute and should give it a try idk
What else? Put a chainsaw on a helmet.
Cute doggo

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?
>>10968620>visible tattoosthis is just a brother worker in a zelda outfit
>>10968620Obviously promoting her OF
she have a time stamp to cover it lol
>>10969116Because average and below average people exist and they would fuck it up for everyone (specially kids) if there were more relaxed rules regarding whore attire.It also distracts from the main topic at hand, just so an onlyfans whore gets maybe one additional subscriber.By your reasoning, there would be no issue with every restaurant or pub being a strip club (and even allowing the clients to put on a show as well), but anyone who is not a retard can see this is not acceptable.
>>10970844If they are free to be basically naked, you are free to sport a rock hard boner. Learn from them and show us what you got. It won't get you a girls unless you are a gigachad, thougbeit.
It feels pointless going to cons alone. I just went to Otakuthon yesterday and I saw tons of people, I went to panels, I had tons of nice conversations, interactions and pictures, but it hurts knowing I'll probably never see any of these people again. The only real long interaction I had was with a guy playing Go with me and some other people, but beyond that, it never moved outside of small talk and compliments.I'm still happy that I probably talked to over a 100 strangers in one day, something most people who are lonely fail to do, but being alone in a crowd truly hurts.
old man here, i'm 38. When I was in my 20s I was a lot shinier, I'd go to cons alone and end up in room parties and make new fair weather friends. I'm not shining as brightly as I used to but I'm still going to arcades, making new friends, grabbing contact info from people, getting invited to house shows etc. Recently chatting up a bartender ended up getting me into a house show and getting enveloped into a friend group. I'm just going to rattle off some what I do & my mindset.1) Making new friends is a rollercoaster of painMost ephemeral connections will turn to nothing and you have to just accept that. I've chatted up plenty of people for like an hour and they seemed super interested, no follow up after. One night I was able to play dance rush with this girl for an extra hour or two and it was really nice. I loved talking to her and she seemed to like talking to me. no responses after exchanging info. You have to be able to withstand this and keep it together without either blowing up someone's phone or wanting to blow a hole through your head. You can't have expectations. If you feel like there's stakes to social interactions ("THIS WILL BECOME MY GF") it's going to be ruined. If you don't have restraint for either your actions or your thoughts put aside trying to socialize with strangers until you do.2) Numbers game is the worst possible advice you can getPUA nonsense. It's humiliating. I saw a guy doing this at a show. Alone, went to everyone in the bar and said his bit. People are always looking for something new to talk about and you don't want it to be You. Talk to someone because something about them interests you and the genuine curiosity will color your vibe. You'll probably have a natural jumping off point from there.3) be ensouledif your hobby is going home and passively consuming something like a video game or streaming content. with 0 thoughts about it. idk. die. talking to you sucks.
>>10973999It's always a shock to me when I'm reminded that society has deteriorated so much that making friends is now something very many people struggle with. It's wild for me to see terms like "numbers game" appearing in advice for how to make friends. But I'm also one of those people who got lucky in college with an extrovert "adopting" me, so I know how fragile it all is for the people that are able to make friends.Nice trips btw
This thread has survived two subsequent otakuthons, very impressive.
>>10931985I kind of feel you...> Introverted, but for some reason wants to meet new people or see new stuff. The conventions I pick are usually not showing the people who I am fan of so I avoid meet and greets so far. >I started trying to get into cosplay due to me thinking stupid that if I'll do that I get some friends. Well...if they recognize the franchise and character that is popular then congrats I get small talk with people or questions if they can take picture with ugly me (since I'm too nervous to do it myself)>The rest of the day I just spend on some random ass buying stuff, eating or trying to spend some time before going back home.But I never get anything out of it. Most of the people who wanted me to follow their Instas were some people who later forget who I even was. My old friends are either busy, spending time with someone or not interested so I carry this all alone. I'm planning to maybe try again and cosplay in December before I'll just stop for some time because it's more sounding like a chore than something I wanted to enjoy. My only plan if it will be possible though is to find again the guy who cosplayed Psycho Warrior in same convention I was last year since I saw him this year early too, but I doubt I become friends with him.
>>10931985I go alone in cons, thevery rarely time I actually can. It's miserable, but it's better than just stay home. How do you even talk tot hat many people, only time when happens is when I do cosplay
i havent been here regularly in years but when i do come back i cant find the ita threads. that was like the whole reason i showed up. did you people suddenly learn social tact while i was gone. what the fuck man
>>10975369not their fault that the company chose the worst looking possible polka dots print, I don't know what is it about lolita, but the brands or whatever are specialist at making polka dots look bad
>>10975369>honestly it looks fineyou need to get your eyes checked
>>10975369Because of r/lolita the standards are so low this looks tolerable
>>10975369Would you pay the burando prices the want to charge for it though?

#cosplay #uniform #jokeHow wear to either earlier 19th century or later Victorian soldier by disguising yourself as harmless non imperial and colonial militant: Bellhop, Marching band, Nutcracker and Royal guard without offending anyone and being targeted witch hunt harassment and assaults by vigilante hauxist/sanctimonious.
Sharing a hotel room at a con:Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?
>>10899061>Have you done it before?Yes>Where did you find people to split the room with?Facebook>Were they strangers?Yeah. There were 6 people in total including me. I had a single bed.>What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend?Just the standard stuff I assume, but nothing that was established.>Did any problems arise?Yes, kind of. I unexpectedly brought a girl back to the room with me very late at night. She had trouble getting home and I was gonna just let her crash for the night. My mistake for not asking first. Genuinely I had no ulterior motives with her, but after we got in to bed she initiated pretty strongly and we ended up having sex.Turns out everyone else in the room was awake for it.They were pretty cool about it but I dipped out of the room in shame and got a solo room at another place. Paid my full share still of course.>Would you do it again?Yes. And I have, though I never caused such an incident again.
My gf and I shared a room with my friend and her partner at a con this summer. The two of them actually had a huge fight and broke up in the middle of it but we were unaffected by it aside from being a bit stressed out, we know the weakness of such individuals which is to not give them an audience. There weren't any rules established except for quiet hours and it was completely chill except for the bestie's ex because we all already knew each other. We didn't do room party but we did have friends over after the breakup ensued.>Have you done it before?I did once earlier this year with my gf and her other gf (im bi if u dont like it deal w/it) and it was also completely chill, we hosted a couple people over for an after that was more kickback than party (aka no yelling, strangers, karaoke, anything like that) and it was also chill but my social batteries ran out because I needed a nap and haven't experienced my sleeping area to be a social space like that since college.The nice thing about con parties however is that nerds all check out pretty quickly.>Where did you find people to split the room withThe people I became close with irl are all weaboos and the like and they just asked me if I wanted to come along.>What rules were usually in place?As a matter of hygiene, I made sure to bring a scented candle to fend off the con musk. This I learned was an extremely thoughtful formality so I'll make sure to do something similar in future.>Did any problems ariseAside from the aforementioned, one time there was confusion over the room cost split but we settled it and everyone is still friends.>Would you do it again?Yes, especially since I now know what to avoid.
paid for our tickets and room. said she wanted some alone time to meet with online friends. I was cool with it since there I wanted to meet a voice actor (Priestess from Goblin Slayer) . She ended up sleeping with her online friend and I had the hotel room to myself for the weekend.
>>10976319Win/Win?
>>10899061>Have you done it beforeYes.>Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers?Friend of a friend from IRC.>What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend?None.>Did any problems arise?One of the fuckers took my Nikes, but I had backup shoes. This was a '10 people crash in one room' kinda deal, so.>Would you do it again?Only if I was staffing, because I take fucking forever to get on the con floor.
