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.
look where im at gulls

Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
>>10970669Yes
>>10902106OP's cosplay is insane, imagine the BRAPs
>>10970669>>10970673The millennials in "the geek crowd" as you put it will be like that, but zoomers onward won't be as much. Zoomers will just say shit because it feels good, so as long as you're not going out of your way to misgender someone who is clearly female-presenting they won't care what you say.
>>10970774Yeah I'm not a dick, I can get along with you if you act normal it's the people that make it their entire personality that I can't really vibe with
>>10902106The cosplay thing should be fun and doesn't need to be sexual but some normies decided to ruin it by making a porn with cosplaying an anime character. I somehow thinking to those who cosplay and do onlyfans vids by making porn vids while they cosplay anime character. I feel you sir
have you ever found the pics of you cosplaying that you posted online or that somebody else took posted on a pornographic site?
>>10968292no, but after some conversations from some people from different board I think I wouldn't even be considered to be put in second thing anywhere kek. Even if I'm gonna try one last time for someone to talk with me as Homura cosplayer this year
>>10969344I never wanted it in the first place so fuck you retard!!!
Im a man and Im a degenerate, so I dont mind if people jerk off to me.Pictures taken of me might be in cringe compilations, tho
>>10968292>some years ago>be with friends at Japan-themed event>cosplay as Yuno from Mirai Nikki, low effort even just cheap ebay wig and outfit>we're sitting on a blanket on the grass chilling >bald guy in his 30s-40s with a professional camera approaches only me and asks if he can take a picture>glance at the rest of the group (1 girl and 2 guys) and they nod because I clearly still believe he means the whole group>he proceeds to stand at an angle right in front of me and it's clear that it's only pictures of me>smile in the first pic, but then realize >he lowers the camera and reveals he's wearing a Yuno from Mirai Nikki graphic shirt
>>10977154Damn, did you guys hook up after?
I've been cosplaying since 2017 in more than one fandom, and in all of them, i've found immature people of all ages and backgrounds. In my experience, all the usual dramas of cosplay come from a warped sense of entitlement, or lack of enough social skills to cope with said subject without causing negativity to others.Although if more people were sexually mature / sexually active with more common sense, half of the issues would be solves. I've seen so many cases of people being jealous of another and adopting defamation/cancelling campaigns against them based on jealousy.For me, the only way is of social exclusion. Those who are really toxic and engage in behaviors that bother others and cause disruption amongst groups, we should all exclude. In conventions, closing physical circles on them, barely looking at them, turning their back on them. This naturally sends a message that the person is not welcome and at some point they fuck off. It's dirty, but since there's no "reputation bureau" like a credit bureau, this is the only option since very unfortunately you can't ban people 'just' for being bothersome and divisive/toxic.So i'd like to hear from you: How to effectively make cosplaying a better activity?
What are some newbie questions that you are absolutely sick and tired of hearing? From "Where can I buy" to "why so expensive"
>>10976910>>10976915I would say it really was the peak of that particular style since brands like dearmylove and lizlisa was releasing things like that way till around 2024. Brands really start to ditch the pink x black starting from 2025.
>>10976801You forgot :>"is this lolita ?">amazon-tier maid cosplayA classic old as time.
>>10976909It's so pathetic to see.Men used to do sweet gestures for women they liked, now they virtue signal in hopes for a crumb of attention.
>>10976944The real thing to be upset about is that people aren't buying pieces and then modifying it themselves. Brolita was already a thing 10 years ago and back then men were men and did tailor work on their coords themselves.
>>10976797who asked thoughOn this topic, its not exactly questions persay but subculture tourists who write fanfiction about the subculture, or join in on conversations where their input does not matter. The amount of non-lolitas i've seen online put their opinion into lolita discussions or even speak for the subculture itself is baffling. "lolitas hate you if you do this (arbituary rule that doesnt exist)" "im not a lolita but can I do this/and i do this" ok but who asked you though, you dont go here.
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
>>10974103Yup. Hits all the marks of cute, funny and shitpost potential. Also works for groups who can all cosplay all the fucked up cats
>>10974076Unfortunately my girlfriend prefers the dress from 4. While I like Leon’s cop uniform. At least his 4 costume is perfect for hot weather.
So, the new Cyberpunk season is out. The character designs aren't as strong as the first season but I expect a couple of cosplayers to attempt to cosplay Talia.Maybe some prepared a cosplay already hoping she would become the next Lucy.
Malfoid
>>10977026Capri has become the most popular girl of the second season. She certainly has an interesting design but it will be extremely difficult to replicate in real life.I expect to see a couple of heavily edited Capri cosplay photos on onlyfans for the next couple of weeks but not so much at conventions besides maybe some mass produced sentai suits. >>10977107Will also only be an onlyfans cosplay trend for a couple of weeks. By the time con season starts people will have mostly forgotten about her.
Hello, fellow /seagulls/. I haven't been here for a while but I have a question to ask you. I am currently working on a long term tech project of building a small, relatively autonomous Star Wars MSE-6 droid to roll around in at conventions. I have plans to have it be responsive and reactive through a small AI accelerator, and to do that I want to put a little camera on it to be its window to the world. Nothing is directly recorded or saved, it's sent to an image-to-text transcriber, and then *that* result is fed to the AI to react to. Nothing from either video or transcription is stored long term, as it would take up a lot of data anyway. It's using the transcriptions purely to respond to the world in a closed, local system (It won't be able to connect to Wifi).I'm thinking I could put a small note on it saying that it is recording for the purpose of interactions but that nothing is saved or stored, only the droid's responses to said thing.1) Is that just far enough in the grey area for me to be okay with just asking convention runners if it's ok to bring in? Or is that more likely going to be flat out banned the way Meta glasses were?2) Would you want to interact with it? Would the anti-AI folks hate this sort of thing and try to destroy it?
This is a tough one. People have a melty over recording them in public but it might be hard to explain to them the nuance of what you're doing
>bf says he’ll take me to a lolita fashion store >ask if it is a sweet lolita, classic lolita or gothic lolita fashion store>he laughs and says it’s a nice store>go with bf>it’s kawaii fashion
>>10976128Don't worry anon, it only gets worse from here.
>>10976128Your first introduction to /cgl/ was clicking on a frogpost on page 9 or 10 that no one had posted in over a month?
>>10917972>Not understanding intrinsically that faggotry is subhuman behavior
>>10952907>Rental girlfriends, sugar baby, e-datingThat's all still various flavors of prostitution, Anon.
>>10977109But... that's what you just did...
I'm 22 and I made this Ben 10 cosplay, is it okay to still cosplay as Ben 10 at this age?
>>10976670You could be like those timeskip episodes like Ben 10,000.
>>10976670What other people have said, it doesn't matter too much. Lots of people cosplay as younger characters. When I 'forced' my 14 year old little sister to cosplay Rin Kokonoe one time for an anime convention, while I was looking up other girls' cosplays of her, I found they were mostly in their 20's.
>>10977076>When I 'forced' my 14 year old little sister to cosplay Rin KokonoeHOT
>>10977104She was fully in on it by the end, I basically just told her that I had a costume for her if she wanted to go to something called an "anime convention" with me. We had a good time, I protected her from the creeps too.
>>10976670You look like Bengay
2 cons back to back!>Who are you cosplaying as?>What days are you going?>Who/What are you most excited to see?>Ready to have 3 days of nonstop fun?
>>10975291Aren't they banned?

would you rather: have this chunli as your wife she's hot but hates you and divorces you as soon as possible and takes half of your money and property, makes you pay alimony and child support
>>10972661or have this chunli as your wife, ugly as sin but she loves you and is loyal will raise your kids healthy and strong, cooks and cleans for you
>>10972649This girl is so adorable it hurts.
i dunno when drawthreads tapered off here but i periodically check back and there just never is one. so ill be the change I want to see in the world. post coords for me to draw, thank you. (and other artists too of course)
>>10907148
>>10969446Hi nice coord! Hopefully my drawing isn't too beginner
a simple black themed coord of mine with a metamorphose jsk
>>10975921i couldn't make out some of the details but i hope you still like it.
>>10976735Awwww! Thank you so much, I adore it! Its a pretty simple coord so there's no need to focus too much on the details in the drawing.
bro i just want to cosplay something cute and that "looks" like me for halloween, last friday i went to a party and i did a misa cosplay lmao, but i have another party and i don't know what to cosplay, im blonde btw, what do yall recommend?
Cosplay as Dio or something
I've been interested in these uncanny masks and have some questionswhat to look for when buying one?anything specific to avoid?can you dance wearing one? (assuming it has a fan)can you use a normal wig or do they need a special one?can you swap the eyes?
>>10976951Probably because the kigu fandom is way smaller, so there's less money in it innovating than in the furry fandom.
>>10976949>every kigu youtuber has an undercurrent of kigu sexy time they're glossing over,This desu. Been researching some kigu sources lately as well as I have been somewhat intrigued by the different experience compared to traditional cosplaying, but almost every youtube or social media channel I come across eventually carries some undertones making it obvious there is more going on than just having some silly dress up time.>>10976927It's not mandatory, but many do include them for fetish reasons.
I wonder If you can even breath behind those mask, are there holes for ventilations? Because it seems to hug really tight to the face
>>10976949I recognise that Tewi kigu. He goes to basically every Touhou convention in the greater bay area and has at least three different masks. I'm not sure how he affords it.The first time I encountered him was after a Touhou concert. I was standing around autistically in the lobby with my fumo out, he approached me and made his Reisen fumo kiss mine. I've never been more scared in my life.After seeing him for the fourth time I finally worked up the courage to ask for a picture.
>>10977001Yes, you can breathe. There are small cutouts for the eyes so you can see, and the mask isn't sealed around your face. It only looks tight because the kiger is wearing a skin suit called a hadatai that matches the color of the mask to make it look more seamless.
