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.

I know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.

LMFAO, so does everyone just have friends like this they know from middle or high school? I'm around 22 and would like to make more weeb friends that I can go to cons with and interested in social activities as well though I’m pretty shy . Nobody I’ve met up with from /cgl/ threads has ever taken issue with me being younger, though we sadly usually only have one conversation and never see each other again.

getting into sex cliques with a bunch of aging millenials doesn't sound like fun. I actually like anime and want to make stuff for it, I don't want to deal with more groups of randos tangentially related to the thing I'm into.

>ITT: Dating in the hobby

Seems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby. My ex hated cosplay and anime and it has done nothing but drive me to want to date cosplayers, more to help them afford better cosplays and all that, as well as just enjoy cons together and all that stuff. All the apps try and say that you can narrow down your search, or apps like Boo, but it just ends up being normies who either catfish or ghost.
Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit? At the same time I've found that cosplayers generally want to be left alone at cons while they do their thing.

Some you retards are looking in all the wrong ways. Most people are at cons to have fun, women included, they're not going there to find a bf.
The girls looking for guys at cons are almost always trouble. Mental illness, gold diggers, etc, theres a reason they're single and looking to mingle.
The real meta is to find a gf open enough to get into cosplay and who has fun doing things with you because she likes spending time with you. Not the mentally ill one with 30k simps on instagram.

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.

I've been going to cons for over 20 years. I've met hundreds of people, hooked up with plenty of people, and even met my wife through cons. I have met a lot of great people with some being lifetime friendships.

I got over my crippling social anxiety by talking to them. If the small talk didn't seem like anything then I moved on. I would read the room seeing if they want to get drinks or hangout.

I didn't creep. I was honest about my weirdness as it drew people in.

If you want friends or a relationship you have to work for it. They aren't going to know ya in a 5 minute chat. You got to extend to see if they want to go beyond being at the con. It might be awkward but fuck that if you don't try.

hi guys! Looking to see if anyone has any creative non-destructive ways (meaning no permanent alterations) to do what I’m trying to do. I’ll be doing a Chris Redfield cosplay, and I have an authentic vietnam era flak jacket (pic related, not my exact one, but this is pretty much it), but for the cosplay to be accurate in terms of RE1 remake, I need it to add some lettering. My monkey brain actually considered electrical tape, which might be a little tedious, but there’s a lot of straight lines so I don’t think it would take longer than an afternoon’s time, but idk how it would turn out. Alternatively, I could say screw it and claim to be the original RE1 Chris where its a plain flak jacket lol, but that’s a last ditch effort. Any suggestions would be awesome!

Making this an RE thread for based RE bro
I want to do Jill's shoulder pads and I was going to use EVA foam like I've done for other cosplays, but the more I think about, the more I realize it's probably better if I use a lighter foam and sew fabric around it to create a better look. What foam should I use? I'm thinking about that yellowish, crap foam that they use in random stuff, but idk where to source it from/what its called.
>>
>>10969979
Are you thinking about foam rubber?
>>
>>10969979
You're probably thinking of upholstery foam. If you're in a decent-size city there might actually be stores specializing in foam, otherwise a craft store probably has something. Personally I'd probably use batting though, it'll lay better over your shoulders.
>>
>>10970045
I don't think so. Just from a quick google search, I think that material might be too 'dense' for what I would want to cut up and sew around. Like it wouldn't hold the shape around the shoulders very well. Unless you think it might work for what I'm trying to do
>>10970049
I think you're right on the batting foam (also from a quick google search). My idea was unlike the EVA foam stuff I've done in the past where I have to very particular about my cuts and the shape, I more so want to use the foam as 'stuffing' for the pattern I create. Of course, I'd still cut it to size and wrap the fabric around it, but I want to avoid making it super stiff, if that makes any sense

Have you ever thought about getting plastic surgery for cosplay?

If you want plastic surgery for cosplay you need to take that money you were going to use to change your body and go to a therapist.

What are the non-convention cosplay events like in your area anon? It seems like the amount of small events near me have blown up in the last year. This weekend I'm going to an Ouran host club cafe, cosplay beginners workshop and a Higaruma from JJK look alike contest.

>>10969807

They're always full of the same people I see at local cons-- the ones who actually come for the event instead of the party crowd, which is hardly surprising. If there are any series-specific cos events I've never seen them, it's either an "anime" (barely) rave or a themed night at the arcade

I wish I would have bought a ticket sooner. I never expected for it to sell out. Or how fast it sky rocketed in popularity. Basically unknown in 2023.
