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.
>>10959135>literally a weenie convention
What's the worst con you've been to? Bonus points for dead ones.
I hate that I lost the name of the worst one I went to. It's dead, tho, so it doesn't really matter. Buenos Aires. On some street called French.>took place at a school during a sunday>gaming room had jackshit>barely any cosplays>most of the time, my friend was just cracking jokes about how shitty and small this was>the people weren't very open to chatting, eitherThis was a few years before COVID, and it was the point where I realized, wow, this community really isn't the same I remember. I guess you can call it a culture shock, but like...come on, the point of these things used to be that you could meet people who share your interests and chat with them, perhaps even make friends. Now it's definitely like if you don't have friends to go with already...tough. Get into some discord group or something and start from there.
>>10962297I guess it wasnt the san jose school, no french streets aroundlast sunday I went to a vocaloid concert there, it was pretty good
>>10962305Definitely not that school, I only had decent to good times as cons there.
>>10960406I think I heard about that to e, was it the one they held at Metrotown?
>>10960423I went to youma that year and was actually shocked how many people at the con genuinely didn't seem to know about all the shit going on in real time.>Go to Jackbox Panel>Manage to slip in to a game in time>Make all the jokes be things like "Comped Maid Cafe Admission" or "Whoops guess we forgot to send the badges">No one there understood any of itAnd this was like Saturday night too
>Maison Otaku, a new French organization, announced that it would hold a major event in Paris to celebrate the manga Nana, claiming that voice actress Romi Park and singer Olivia Lufkin would be present.>The organizers allegedly deceived Romi Park by not telling her that it was an unofficial event and making her believe she might receive an award presented by the French government.>Standard entry tickets were priced at €60, with VIP tickets going up to €250 for the chance to meet Romi Park.>Visitors soon discovered that the event was being held in an almost empty hotel with no decorations. Everyone stood around for hours with nothing to do.>Most of the merchandise sold at the event consisted of shonen figurines with no connection to Nana.>Romi Park arrived late, at 6 p.m., by which time many attendees who had come specifically to see her had already left. She appeared wearing a mask, likely so that her presence would not be noticed by Nana’s rights holders.>At the end of the day, one of the organizers declared that the event had been “incredible.”>France finally has its own DashCon.
>>10961632good, Nana was a dumb pointless anime
>>10961632I didn't know about that. I wonder who were the idiots who went there without noticing it was a scam, probably zoomers who became huge Nana fans after the pandemic and who think they're now shojo manga experts. Even bigger French cons are dog shit nowadays so I can't imagine how boring this one was.
>>10962179>I wonder who were the idiots who went there without noticing it was a scamWell they got Romi Park to show up, so I guess there's one. It's pretty easy to create a facade of legitimacy with just a basic website and social media presence. Anyway what happened to the organizers, are people demanding refunds at least?
First red flag, an entire convention based on that anime, I guess French dweebs are even dumber than ours here
Dank und spooky editionLast fred >>10698290
>>10930434why are you so mad?
>>10930431it's so funny to me that it's the height of summer and americans go "you know what this needs? Spooky shit! Halloween is coming (in a few months)".
>>10933778It's autumn
>>10934533the 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 23Where 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.
not falling off anytime soon
cosplayed kagami from lucky star what do ya think

>>10960831Iron the blouse next time, waist looks a little unfortunate on your pic, other than that >>10960892
>>10960855woman are not my rivals, thanks.seifukus usually look rather baggy, it won’t look like in the anime. and im literally 90 - 60 - 80 lol
>>10960973>woman are not my rivals,rofl
Looks good
Are there any good budget alternatives to expensive cosplay parts/props like teeth and dentures?
>>10962497>gluing fake nails to your teeth>putting any adhesives on your teeth for that matterWhat a very Japanese thing to do
I'm new to cosplaying.Do most people just buy their cosplays? It feels kinda lame to me to buy one instead of making it. Do I just have the wrong mindset?
>>109625173/4 of my family does cosplay and it's great because we have a dressmaker who gets us good clothing for a good price, so I kind of have the best of both worlds where I don't really have to spend much time myself actually making the costume itself and the costume itself has a much better quality if I tried actually doing itThis way I can focus on smaller aspects of the cosplay like wigs, contact lenses, or propsI definitely see how someone who makes their own clothing can end up developing some huge ego around it especially if it ends up actually top notch or at least above average, the standard for home-made cosplay isn't very high, at least not here in LATAM where most people don't really have the money to spend making their own extremely high quality cosplays, I've seen some before but they're kind of rare, most people really do resort to cheaply made cosplays on websites like temu or shopee, specially if it's something from gacha or the newest shonen or whateverOne could argue that making the cosplay is the fun itself and the rough homemade look has charm, which I agree, but for me personally you do need at least some standard of quality for your cosplay and I always tried to keep it within mine and the dressmaker's limitations. To me the fun is going to the con in cosplay, seeing other people in cosplay and recognizing them, taking pictures, talking with VAs, interacting etc. Not really the whole process of making the costume, though that can be fun tooIn the end it doesn't matter too much, it's all about having fun anyways so whatever
>>10962368Make costumes only if you think making costumes is fun. There's no other reason to do it (unless, I guess, nobody sells the costume you want)
>>10962517>most people buy something off "cheap asian website"they do that in the states too>>10962524>where do people even buy their cosplays anywaystemu, aliexpress, amazon
>>10962545>temu amazonno way those're actually places people put cosplays, maybe I'm the boomer now thinking amazon was just for house shit or food. aliexpress also thought would be more of a scam site
>>10962555Most cosplay you see comes from a seller who just has a huge stock and has alt accounts on amazon/aliexpress/temu/etsy/etc.>maybe I'm the boomer now thinking amazon was just for house shit or foodDING DING DING we have a winner!
It's been 17 years, do you still hate her?
>>10962472I think a couple people here were jealous that she was getting so much attention?
>>10962509Rip, you would have loved todays con scene
>>10962512I’m pretty sure she scrubbed her cosplay stuff off the internet. Which is a shame, I think I remember her doing a Hawkgirl cosplay that was pretty nice.
>>10962465>It's been 17 yearsI was 9 years old!

>>10884023>>10884021>>10883718>>10883714i wasnt sure during your entire story whetever fakeboi was actually mtf or ftm, please make sure to clarify it properly next time so i can feel safe getting a boner from it knowing its not gay because she was just a tomboy/fujo that got groomed and not a porn addicted fat dudeAnd on that note, you should have definitly hit and quite literally fucked the man out of her anon. Theres a reason why "cant beat the cock" is a well known meme.Still, i think its endearing. She projects her own lust for cock and balls on the men she gets wet over. Its quite cute really.
>>10959687>>10959688Jesus Christ have you retarded faggots ever heard of being kicked out of an event for not following the rules? If a con event says no weapons and the hotel corroborates it, myself and everyone else in the room could possibly be kicked out depending on how Jewy the hotel staff is, if you’re in a blue state some retard cop might arrest you and some retard blue judge might unjustly stick you with something too. I wasnt about to get kicked out of a con simply for rooming with some fat, retarded LARPer tryhard. For what it’s worth I’m pro 2A and probably have nicer guns than you (including brands like FN, HK and non P320 SIG) but don’t feel the need to CC at a con because im not some tryhard faggot who couldn’t hit a silhouette at 5 yards. I’d bet actual money I’d hit tighter groupings than you at a range too. Timestamp your gun collection or put one in your mouth you waste of space poorfag
>>10960452This a thoroughly embarrassing and angry post. At least your con story was interesting, if gay.
>>10960452I'm not sure whether the Navy Seals or Mall Ninja post is appropriate and I don't want to know anymore. Oldfag becoming dementiafag at this point.
I kinda feel like I missed out on memorable con stories. I went to a couple from 2016 - 2018, didn't do shit from 2019 - 2021, and from 2021 to a couple months ago I had a shitty job with inconsistent pay that also ate up my weekends.And now I'm in my early 30's with a decent paying job that's going to get better, but I feel like any potential memorable moments are gone.
>be non black person (not white) doing cosplay>high expectations to be accurate with correct wig for contests and photoshoots>be black>no need to use wig or accurate cosplay. it's called ethnic wigs instead
Only like one girl in this entire pic who is wearing a proper wig to the character.
>>10923843niggers don't like it when its the other way around. They know what they're doing in this regard>pushes for shit like not using wigs cuz le expression>has con thats race-restricted just for this>raceswaps characters to be black, sometimes labelling it as 'fixing'>attacks anyone who draws a dark character slightly lighter than the original>calls anyone else doing the same things to them racistof course most of them vote democrat, which explains their subversiveness and hypocrisy
>>10891574It honestly looks better if they cosplay a black version of a white character, instead of trying to look white. Same with white cosplayers who dress as an explicitly Japanese character without doing "yellow face." The only ethnic makeup that's common is Asians pretending to be white.Unironically the libs are correct about "cosplay what you want"
>>10931036I'd rather see the blackest retard gorilla nigger cosplay my waifu because they like the character, than see a professional asian "model" cosplay my waifu for clout
>>10962272I'm at point where I find it easier to avoid them completely at cons. Them being black was never my issue but overtime it's just not worth engaging with them knowing there's a high chance they either don't like white people which some legitimately do or make it apparent they rather deal with their own kind.
There seriously aren't people who do this are there? I get that things are expensive, but going into thousands of dollars of high interest debt for a few weekends can't be a thing
Oh yeah, it happens. Seen folks go into thousands because they needed it for their "mental health" and cons were the "only thing that makes me happy!"Don't get me wrong i'm all for having the occasional splurge for a treat but it shouldn't be to the point of building debt.
>>10962355That's fucking insane. I get cons are great and it's nice to have a community. But the damage that this debt does to you is so bad.What's the long term plan for these people. Get someone to cover the bill?
>>10962340Not me because I’m not retard with my finances but I do know someone who literally chose going to a con over their fucking electricity bill for the month… only for them to beg online for money after the con was over to “help a queer cosplayer in crisis” Many such cases
>>10962357>queerwell, thats the problem right there
Ive seen stories of people blowing their college funds on shit like Coachella, Taylor Swift or Beyonce ticketsIf i were ever irresponsible with money, i wouldn’t go to an anime con and instead would live my weeb dreams with a japan trip
