Please try to forget the common occurrence of a nigga in a cheap unironed but very ironic polyester Akatsuki coat for a moment. Pretend it's 2009 and Naruto cosplays are still cool and relevant.Where would I get a good quality coat? I'm talking one that is a proper coat/long jacket and not a sheet of plastic with a print on it. Thicker material, buttoned, preferably cotton etc.
happy with my new stocking cosplay~ share with me any stocking cosplayers you like
>>10960817ty ty~ it makes me feel cute as hell :3
>>10960780huge hands dude
>>10960787Sorry, but my parents won't let me post my capybara socks here.:(
>>10960773Now we seen your stocking, lets see your panties.
>>10960773Cute! I think I’ll ask my gf to cosplay stocking as well
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.
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
>>10960500> I dont have so much boobs.that can change, jk, fuck silicone, who cares about tits anyways, babies?anyways, put more attention in your head halo, blue is also an anti sexual color, try red instead, if it hast to be saturated, but with black, leve it balck, why blue or red, anyways, read about color theory
>>10960516>change colorWtf its Karin from blue archive. Her halo is this colors '--'
>>10895583>cosplayCosplay for women is just a way to get attention from men, if they could get it in another way they would do that instead. Most women don't care about it outside of that.Cosplay for men is mostly from the point of view of looking at it instead of taking part, it's becasue the have jerked off so much to characters from anime, video games or whatever else they get an instant boner if even a hint of that character being real comes into view.It's like if you played wow as a teenager and jerked off daily to night elves, then some 5/10 girl is dressed up as one and you get a boner cause your brain is so fried it thinks it's your daily faptime.
>>10960424>>10960500Is it actually you posting in /40kg/ or did someone just grab these pics?

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.
10958376Have you considered not being a disingenuous faggot for more than 5 seconds?
>>10870698This is the best advice to give honestly, I love you for that
>958401>870698>namefaggots sucking eachother off
>>10946755You a dude?
>>10959716>>10954041>fat men wishing for men to talk toGross.
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
>>10871728wow this makes me feel old.
>>10943394>What happened to yaoi>What happened to girls pretending to be gay menThey're still around. Bunch of annoying teenage girls dressing up as the flavor of the month femboy.
Everything wrong with anything today is due to mobile phones
>>10871728oh god...I remember cosplaying at the mall randomly with some friends and not giving af. Helps that most people didn't have cameras attached to their hips to upload to social media. The world was a lot funner.>>10905449I'm a zoomer (though im '97) we had anime clubs and cons still. Smartphones didn't really take off till late in highschool for me thankfully. Sounds rough though, I remember driving back home and some kid walking across the street by himself was just staring into his iphone without taking in his surroundings. Can kids really not live without it anymore?

>>10946749It goes both ways dudet.You think all these woman haters started that way? You really think it's because they are all just shallow and stupid? They are the same coin, people who's kindness hasn't been rewarded, hearts broken too many times and given zero sympathy from anyone, or worse even mocked straight to their face. No matter how many times they try to break the pattern, to prove it wrong it just ends up repeating, ending up to the point where they are so broken that the moment anyone shows them any amount of kindness they freak out and scare them away because their trust is gone.It's a cruel fucking world man. Actual innocent people driven to maddness while the devil gets to dance freely.
>>10931861Mental illness right here.
>>10931861You should be playing with your babies and other mommies, not posting here you busted tramp
>>10931421this is why you only do meet ups at smaller cons
"Consent" with a minor is illegal in all states, consent is only between adults
You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>10961069go the the raves, its all anime OPs remixed
>>10961071You'd think so, unfortunately the reality is much more grim, as tends to be the case with many things these days. I was big into going to "anime raves" two years ago, both ones at cons and ones played locally by a certain group that organizes them. Maybe 40% of the music played is anime or anime-adjacent, everything else is random EDM genres, a lot of it garbage. For example, last year at the most recent con rave I've been to only one of the three DJ's I saw played anisong remixes, the other one played some nondescript EDM slop you'd hear in the background of some Twitch stream, and the third one played dubstep and idk what they played after that because I left during their set.It's one of the consequences of anime becoming mainstream. The road to making it as a DJ is paved with grinding out weddings and random gigs before your networking lands you at some club, so a lot of DJ's who don't give a shit about anime end up doing con raves anyway because a gig's a gig and anime is mainstream enough to where con raves end up on non-weebs' radars.
>>10961073I never understand why anime convention raves don't play nightcore. Pisses me off.
>>10961073Agreed unfortunately. There are good ones out there in the US like Aniclover and anibash, but many of them have semi naked girls on stage and call it a hentai rave. No thanks
>>10908957>>10908957I'm 33, I was at my first con ever. From my experience the biggest problem is being alone. Everyone has its own little mini social circle, and if you are this shy guy, who is alone, that's bad dude. I still enjoyed it but I couldn't shake off this feeling that "damn everyone has someone, but me" feeling.
pic is me
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
>>10863223It's interesting, most shows and and anime that feature comiket just show people leaving at 4pm after the con is done, and given what I see on twitter that's typical what actually happens there. No after parties.Not a movie or focused on cosplay but Axanael is a great love letter to otaku culture. One of the routes starts with a gunfight at comiket because someone doesn't cant get the doujin they need.
>>10958082>most shows and and anime that feature comiket just show people leaving at 4pm after the con is done, and given what I see on twitter that's typical what actually happens there. No after parties.I get that it's a difference in culture, but that is still so trippy to me. From my experience, American cons go on way into the night and then have after-parties across hotels, bars, and even parks for late night raves. The idea of calling it a day at 4pm boggles my mind.

>>10958455there's more than 1?
>>10863223They're turning 2Kawai4Comfort into an anime for the final!!! I'm thrilled to see this could finally get an ending!I think this is the best outcome because 1) Turning it into an anime for the last episode feels right. The series has had moments of mix media and surrealist moments, such as Randy's flashback through an old-school videogame, the comic book scene where Spencer is running around the con, even the tentacle "dream" sequence was really out there. So having it turn into an anime isn't too crazy. 2) It's been 8 years. There's no way the actors look the same.Trailer: https://www.tiktok.com/@2kawaii4comfort/photo/7547537181124873485
How do you make such precise drawings on a mask (the moth)?I saw that they used glue to stick paper on it like gold leaf, but how do they manage to make such a precise area?
>>10961080It's possible to cut it out by hand, with a hobby knife or scissors. You can also use a Cricut cutting machine.
Stencil. Lay a stencil on the mask, put glue on over the stencil, add the glitter, take off the stencil.
Anyone been to Vienna Comic Con? Wanna go there in cosplay this november, because I have a place to stay and its the closest country where I can do so. This'd be my first time tho, so idk what to expect
>>10959135Where is it, near Praterstern? Ive never been to any kind of con, might take a look(so like a 0.001% chance lol)
>>10960343It actually is nearby! Its in Messe I believe, tho I can't remember which hall. I bet plenty from the balkans and neighbouring countries'll be there, as is the case with me
Thankx to an extra ticket i went once. Maybe its worth it if you connect with someone.For me There really wasnt that much to do, when you ignore food and buying things. I saw Jonathan Frakes, a Power Rangers Cosplay/Larp group had brought a photo, booth throne, there was a pay as you see fit massage, and i randomly met a pal. However weeb cons dont have a ton of activities for me anymore as well.I think there was an interview panel and a gaming thing too but they didnt captivate me.
This is for the older con goers. How does it feel to go to cons? Do you feel out of place? What is the average age at cons do you feel, and when do you feel like you've aged out of the con scene? I'm early 30s myself and I'm starting to notice the age difference, and have been interacting with people a lot less at cons
You will feel old and out of place when you see less of what you grew up with and dont connect with the current anime landscape. it is bad with mid to small sized cons where mostly teenagers to giggle wearing their aliexpress MHA, Chainsaw man cosplay.
>>10959889when you're old enough to buy all the candy and nobody can tell you not to eat it but you don't want to any more...
I read about senior con goers experience that they have arrived to the point where they don’t even go inside the convention hall and just go out for drinks at a bar outside.
>>10960327You only have to connect with one recent thing to fit in at a con. You don't need to wear more than one cosplay at a time.
>the year is 2017>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minuteswe'll never get this back, and it hurts so much
>>10901577actually it was the rise of the smartphone and tiktok promoting chasing viral trends. People cosplayed for the love of the game but now they cosplay popular characters even when they haven't watched their shows
grim
the last time I went to a con, I barely managed to pack what I needed, because my costume took up half my briefcase, and my purse was extremely heavy as is with the basic necessities to attend the con, trying to bring a 3ds and carry it around on top of everything sounds insane with my situation, even if I saw some people discussing it thereit was already tough, things are heavy, my costume is also high effort to simply wear, and bringing extra device abroad that's surprisingly hefty and requires a charge cable (and has awful standby time) is just a big ask
>>10899898I went to a con last month, Fan Expo Toronto, that specifically had a little event for people with 3DS' to meet up. I couldn't attend it sadly so I don't know how many people were there, but I did get like 15 streetpasses from walking around there.>>10958897>we bonded on how it should be a thing on the steam deck or an app now.Yeah, you'd think someone would've tried turning it into an app years ago.
>>10960798Post said costume
