>He's back again to ask again "Hey, so my waifus..."
>After he leaves, one tells me "Oh that kid. He told me earlier that he likes asking cosplay girls to step on him for pictures cause he gets off on it but says it's "a joke"
(Stepping signs weren't a thing yet)

>All the older folks are loosening up and drinking, Spidey is standing in the corner just watching
>We wanna get him to join in, give him a beer, still not interested
>Eventually head to the courtyard in front where there's thousands partying too
>Find a contest to scale a ~15 ft lamppost and touch the very top, nobody can quite do it
>Spider-Zoom runs up from behind, pulls his mask down and gets it on the first try

Was a lot of fun. Shame he missed the whole night though. I'm not particularly sociable but even amongst weird strangers at a con him and I together can bullshit with anyone.

>>10835403
taking edibles isn't all that ambitious, but it's definitely better to underdo it and have it hit later and less hard than to overdo it at a con. sorry your friend missed the night - i'm sure he was not having a good time.

i've greened out on planes, at malls, at formal dinners, but a con is not a place i would want to be hung over a toilet or passed out in the hallway. it's good your buddy made it out without puking.

>>10835409
I only say ambitious because it was his first con, it wasn't one particularly known for partying or anything, and he took an assload super early on in the day. Greening out in any of those places sounds like a nightmare, but I have little personal experience with that sort of thing.
>i'm sure he was not having a good time
He handled it pretty well, just upset he missed everything. We later brought him up a pizza that ended up being prolly one of the best we'd ever had, but that may be in part because we were collectively pretty fucked up at that point.

Huh. So the options here are that someone had a very similar story, or what I find more likely, it spread to another group who spread it to me. Maybe even a member of your group, though a damn shame I forgot where / when I heard this story. It was definitely less than a year ago, and I'm almost fully convinced it was in-person.

Do you live in the midwest? If not, then that story got repeated/traveled far as fuck. I guess it wouldn't be crazy if s9meone else did the same, it was essentially rummaging through an unlocked storage room, taking some novel pictures, and putting everything back.
[spoiler]We did make it into the convention center staff area of the same con another year and one of my buddies grabbed a free perrier water befor stumbling out a door that lead into the ongoing rave.

There it is. So one of your guys passed it on however many times until I heard it. Probably some Chinese whispers going on, because I remember some extra detail about hanging the flag from a balcony before returning it? Somethin like that. And the place that keeps coming to my head about where I heard it was Colossal Prime. Not a guarantee, but you definitely pushed me further to that conclusion.

She showed up because she was interested in you. You led her on and then ignored her, that's weird. Just be direct and say "I have a gf but my friends are throwing a party if you're looking to do something"

>>10857391
are you both new to the internet? 90% of fujos are lesbians or they/thems.

>>10857406
I've been here for over 20 years. Fujos have always been yaoi enjoying women.
A couple years ago it got adopted as a buzzword incorrectly by clueless scrotes to mean females in general.
Now it's being used incorrectly again for gender specials and lesbians.
You're new to the internet if this is what you think that word means.
I've been a fujo since I was 12, writing romantic fanfiction of Sanosuke and Saitou from Rurouni Kenshin. The girls on Tumblr reblogging gifs of Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock and Watson GLANCING at each other are fujos.
Literally google the word fujoshi and see years upon years of definitions showing you that you're misinformed.

>>10857380
fujos are just straight girls whacking it to gay porn.

>>10857380
I will confirm just how true or false this is (it's false) after my Venti costume arrives

>>10857427
anon, most women who enjoy yaoi are lesbians. do you not know what fakebois are? all fakebois are fujos. it's not a misrepresentation of anything, you're just in the minority.

>>10857973
Don't try to backpedal on this >>10855458 to make a desperate connection of lesbians to fujos. Even if your ridiculous generalization was true, it does not excuse the blatant misunderstanding of how Char and himbos would be a prime target for fujos. I still regularly see people fundamentally not understanding the term and parroting it to mean female in general with no context for the yaoi even crossing their mind. I am not surprised that people are now using it for this too.

NTA but are you serious? I get that you're from twitter or something, but fujoshi are mostly les/wanna be men. Most yuri anime is just hot girls fucking, soblesbians turn to yaoi for same sex romance. It's even worse in the west where every other fujo is on HRT.

Remembering this classic from 2011.

>>10853124
guns are banned in brasil

Went to the last con in my area. Had a good time. Nice to see new young cosplayers who are starting to get into the community.

I saw a small group of adorable teenage girls who were cosplaying for their first time as Genshin Impact characters. The outfits were NOT bought online, they tried to make them by themselves. Of course these were far from perfect but it's their first time and it's understandable.

All nice and good, blahblah. When I get home, I see that certain old crazy hag over 40 who doesn't go to conventions since 2019 (her last year) STOLE one of those young girls videos, posted it on her TikTok and said she was the one cosplaying Diluc!

I was like "Wtf! Are you serious?! Nobody is going to mistake you for a 15 year old girl!". This is how a crazy old woman who never took care of herself ended: trying to get attention, even if it's bad attention or ruin other people having a good time, it's enough for herself.

Luckily, nobody knows who she is anymore, or remember her at all. So only my closest friends noticed about this. We are not going to say anything to that Diluc cosplayer or anyone from her group of friends. We know this crazy woman is desperately trying to get the attention she never had. She is jealous of basically anyone, but specially hates young girls who are starting to experience cosplay, cons, making new friends and getting positive attention.

At the time she was definitely bangable, still kinda had a dykeish greasy haircut and no makeup with a kinda slovenly everyday appearance to her. but when she put on her idol makeup and long hair wig could see what she was/could have been. Like a composer gone deaf, I could see where her beauty potential was, but it was sadly pissed away by a slovenly half assed attempt to look pseudo-masculine but still somehow feminine presenting freak.

Worst part is man, if she just was cool with being called she and her, hell even she along with the he/they I would have probably wouldn’t have been able to stomach resisting my better judgement and hit it.

When I went to Japan Expo 2022 in Paris I couldn't even enjoy it fully because I was on my period and the day before it was painful and the flow was so heavy that I couldn't even visit Paris as much as I wanted. I went to the hotel soon after but my shorts were entirely covered in blood and the reason why nobody noticed was because I was wearing it under a large dress thank god. That was too much anxiety for me in one day and I didn't go back this year because of this. I also went there alone to be alone specifically because I used to go to my local con with friends and we were badly organized every single time and some shonentard in the queue to go inside tried to make small talk with me and that pissed me off so much. The retards at the Noevegrafx booth gave me a bunch of wrong info so I also couldn't get anything signed by Kotteri because of them, unless I agreed to buy two copies of the same manga. Fuck them.

It was the only time I went to a con since 2018 or 2019 I think. I'm considering going to the local con this year in a few weeks because even though it turned into normie shit and I'm sure it'll be full of Genshit merchs I want to take my 3DS with me and meet people with streetpass. If I ask my friends to go with me I'm sure they'll refuse because they got bored of how similar it is every year. I'm also considering going back to Japan Expo next year but I'm worried about the olympic games and bed bugs ruining everything. Last year I went to Japan and had a blast but it's a more expensive trip so I won't do it again in 2024 even though the yen is pretty weak right now and hotels and trains in France are overpriced even before taking the olympic games into account.

>>10887660
>> my shorts were entirely covered in blood
Have you ever considered getting some of those heavy duty period pads? If your flow is that heavy I doubt that a tampon is gonna be enough to hold it. those period diapers are also a big help but they’re pretty uncomfortable to wear.

>>10887701
I wore one of these pads for heavy flows but it's never enough. When that happened I was walking just fine and suddenly a blood clot the size of my fist came out and splashed all over my shorts . Shit like this makes me suoer paranoid so if there's a con or I want to go on a trip while on my period I know something like this will ruin my clothes at sole point, and my day. This summer in Japan I got my period a bit earlier than planned so I couldn't shop for clothes as much as I wanted and it ruined some of my plans in general.

>>10883864
You forgot that Floridians are garbage humans and incapable of true friendship. Everything's a hustle.

have you ever went to a doctor about your period, it's not normal for it to be so heavy and painful

How does this work? Do you just meet people, talk and follow them around and eventually end up like this. I have never even been to a con and i want to know how you end up doing shit like this.

This is from another thread a while ago but it’s cool

Got really drunk at Holiday Matsuri to the point I pissed in my seat during the Hottest Men in Anime contest. It's an after hours event that's 18+ and the staff didn't allow reentry into the room. It's one of the main reasons I attend Holmat and I wasn't going to miss the rest of the show over a bathroom break.

>>10889905
for the party, i heard about it from friends of a friend, and that friend i had already known for a while before going. but it was open, anybody could go, knowledge of the event was the only barrier

for the people i met, they were moving around a bunch of booze i guess from one room to another, they were chatting, i sorta interjected (probably rude but i was too high to gaf) and they offered me some beers that i drank and i just invited myself to their group. I attribute that working to the fact that they were also all drunk but also that I just charismamaxx. they didn't mind me in their room as they weren't ready to sleep yet, so i got some drinks from them, had some fun conversations, what have you. When it was getting quiet they politely dismissed me and that was that.

I wanna say most of the parties i ever went to I was completely uninvited, knew nobody. Also I was (and am) 20 and a lot of parties were starting to card, so i had a lot of luck slipping into those without being confronted despite being a clean shaven babyface. I wanna say I was at about 5-6 parties that were carding but never carded me. The one I avoided was more of an "official" thing, which is to say it was hosted by a group as opposed to one dude. They had a guy sitting out front of the room actually carding so I knew no way they'd let me just vibe in like that. I mean, I could've approached him and tried it and probably nothing would be at stake but I cringed at the thought of the embarrassment so I avoided it. Would've been master tier if I did and succeeded.

I also knocked on random people's doors when i needed to piss to use their bathrooms and it worked every time, and a couple times there were doors accidentally left ajar and I just walked in and acted like it was supposed to be public.

Cons are a great place for training up your people skills, specifically inregards to being places you shouldn't, with training wheels since most people at night are tired/drunk/high. cont.

>>10890167
Cont.

A couple of minor but worthwhile additional anecdotes:
Talked about public drunkenness in a public con telegram chat, guess that caught with someone there, they invited me down to the hotel bar. They were all drunk as all hell, so again I just vibed with them at the bar, somehow avoided getting carded, and they paid for a salad for me. I did ask for the salad, I insisted I would pay. I was hungry and would've paid. But I also hoped they'd pay. I'm betting they didn't want to pay but did anyways out of politeness even though I offered to pay, because they read my offer to pay as in fact only based in etiquette and that I would somehow be angry or cause a confrontation had I not paid. This was somewhat true as I probably wouldn't have actually ordered the salad had I known I had no chance of having it paid for by someone else, but also, if they had said no I would've avoided confrontation and simply paid myself as I had stated.

Offering to pay when you don't intend to is of course always good sly behavior, though I've always limited it to people I could easily avoid after, didn't know at all, or could reasonably play it off as a mistake.

Another good example is that I sat at something of a free art gathering, they were doing some free OC sketches for a group of people just hanging out and chatting. I got ahead of some people by suggesting that I'd pay via paypal or some such means afterwards, and made sure to very clearly ask the artist to DM me their paypal. I never paid anything (although I would've if I had such money to spare)

Having reliable friends, well, any friends reliable or not, is great for drinks, drugs, and gossip. Oh, yeah, gossip is great. Just ask acquaintances about anything they've heard is going on and you'll find dozens of wacky things you'd not even guess. If it's a private thing you can even go there and tell a half truth by saying that you're good people accountable to your acquaintance.

Just having to deal with a person that never takes accountability for their actions, and constantly blames it on either their neurodivergence or other people misunderstanding the intent behind clearly sexually-charged inappropriate comments. Also seems that lack of boundaries is apparently still a thing as this person has constantly done to several people I know, and tries to fight back with "well, if you're talking shit about me you're transphobic / ableist."

Loves to insert themselves into friend groups, and then immediately latches onto one or two people, will try to get people alone frequently, and now because they staff, the biggest worry is that they'll absolutely find loopholes to come back to our friend group at the next convention. We're honestly at a loss on how to deal with this stealth creep who weaponizes their neurodivergence and the fact they're trans to get away with stuff, it makes the other trans folks in our friend group feel unsafe.

>char is a himbo
Char couldn't be any further from himbo if he was a chick. The stereotypical image of a himbo is someone who's muscular, kind-hearted, and may or may not be "stupid" but is definitely not making his intellect the forefront of his personality. Your typical himbo is someone like Kronk from TENG, Inspector Hildibrand from FFXIV, arguably even Goku.

Char is ripped in Zeta, sure, but he's about as far from the other two criteria as you can get. The man is a permanent ball of mental conflict, stress, anxiety, and depression. Even as early as 0079 he spent the entire series living a double life as the heroic Red Comet, icon of Zeon, and as the bitter young man Casval trying desperately to get revenge on the Zabi family. He successfully does just that but also in the process helps to facilitate the Federation's dismantling of Spacenoid power and dignity that Zeon zum Deikun had worked so hard to built. Zeta has him trying to let the idea of the Red Comet die while he ignores (at best) Neo Zeon, even outright becoming its enemy with AEUG but also trying to stop Haman from indoctrinating Mineva - the heiress of the family he'd fought so hard to exterminate, and ironically the last real hope for his father's ideals. Mineva being alive renders everything he did in 0079 meaningless. In CCA he's forced back into the role of the "Red Comet, hero of Zeon" that he had tried to shed before, and despite being visibly uncomfortable with it (see: the train scene) he's once again held up as some sort of spacenoid messiah. He sabotages his OWN WAR EFFORT by leaking the Psycho-Frame data to Londo Bell in order to give Amuro a fighting chance against the Sazabi. Char is outright suicidal in CCA.

His bitter, violent, miserable nature is a far cry from any sort of "himbo". He's a cold man juggling so many masks even he doesn't know who he really is. And yes I AM replying to a nearly year-old post just to seethe.

Rather minor but at A.F.A. Singapore 2023 they had a massive amount of the second floor dedicated towards a Warhammer 40k tournament (idk how it is in America but in SG cons of all kinds are a mix of TCG, board games, anime/manga, lolita, comics; doesn't matter whether it's a comiccon or an anime fest by name, all of it will be there)

I get tapped to go to the hallway for a cosplay photo by event staff. They threw it together last second so as the photo was being taken a lot of people were running down the hall until the photographer said no more were allowed. One of these groups of people included a Warhammer 40k player in a full SS officer uniform outfit who was easily 300+ lbs and in a group of regular guys also playing in the tournament. After leaving the photo shoot they pointed me out and threw some remarks my way and towards a HSR crossplayer. Later when I was doing a paint-a-mini at the warhammer tables on the second day I saw con staff ask them to leave.

A lot of young Singaporeans have low knowledge about ww2 in Europe so I am not surprised it took con staff a while to ask them to leave, but also knowing Singapore there is a chance that some ISD Agents had lunch with that guy a few days later.

Well, nobody else is posting. A few more memories:
>Second-ever con, I'm still a nervous shut-in who can barely talk to anyone
>End up in elevator alone with woman dressed as Chocolate from Sorcerer Hunters
>Desperately holding on to spaghetti
>"H-how are you liking the con?"
>"I'm having a great time!"
>Why does this woman sound so familiar?...oh shit it's Tiffany Grant
>Struggle to think of anything to say
>Asuka Langley Soryu tells me "this is my floor. Enjoy the con!"
>Manage a "you too" and feel like I just met a celebrity

Another time:
>Cowboy Bebop VA cast reunion panel
>Audience Q&A portion, everybody's asking pretty good questions about working on the show, voiceover in general, etc.
>Guy gets to mic, looks at Steve Blum and says "this is the stairway to heaven...ya know that, don't you?"
>Dead silence
>"Uh...what's your question?"
>Guy stammers that it's a line from Mushroom Samba
>Spike Spiegel sounds like a disappointed parent: "I'm sorry, I recorded those lines in 1999, I can't remember all of them anymore"
>300 people cringe in sympathy as dejected weeb goes back to his seat

Or back when ACEN had a karaoke suite:
>Sign up to sing "Rain" from Bebop
>Wait 40 minutes, organizer comes over and tells me they had to bump me
>Why
>Mary Elizabeth McGlynn gets up
>Julia from Cowboy Bebop stole my song, and she fucking nails it

I feel like you never run into VAs and anime creatives just shooting the shit or enjoying conventions anymore. Hell, pretty sure I saw Yoko Kanno rifling through merch at ACEN back in the early aughts.

This one's a legendary story in my spic country, passed on for generations.

>be 2004, first ever Anime Convention here
>pretty neat
>lots of cosplayers, lots of japanese snacks and candy and shit
>suddently, two random guys pose for pictures
>apparently they didn't know each other
>they're a brown Kenshin and brown Makoto Shishio
>they drew their katanas
>they're real, they both look pretty cool
>one pose has them crossing over their blades
>agry pose
>*kashing*
>they get caught up in the moment and start fake dueling
>doesn't seem too fake anymore
>a few seconds after, Shishio fuking slashes Kenshin's finger and apparently the inner part of his elbow
>they fucking continue?!

>they stop when there's a sizeable puddle of blood on the floor
And ever since then, any sort of katanas are completely banned in any Con around here.
A LOT of people know this story, since I'm not a weeaboo anymore, but my brother is and told me he heard this from someone else.
His face when I told him I was actually there when it started and when it finished.
FF to present day, I'm going to my first con and I wanna finally cosplay with the objective of picking up a cosplayer and maybe picking up another one, so my almost 30 wizard brother gets laid for his first time, lol. Wish me luck pals.

>go to anime impulse pheonix

What a fucking mess that was. I didn't witness the line hell because I got in through the loading dock but:
>Arrive day 1 two hours before opening
>the first two hours of the event there are maybe 20 people walking the halls
>Igo out for a smoke break at the loadin dock and see the line
>"Damn that sucks" I thought to myself
>Around 2pm people start to come in and they are drenched and complaining
Good to see a Phoenix con that isn't run by the same two people but I don't know if anyone will come back after that fiasco

>>10932597
I've been going to a lot of the Anime Impulse cons. Aside from a line issue at Anime Impulse Orange County 2023 (Sneaker Expo people were late and held things up trying to do set up, so they couldn't let anyone in until 1 hour later. However, everyone was waiting inside. I assumed it would be the same for Pheonix), the others were pretty well run. Anime Impulse Seattle 2024 in particular was the GOAT aside from wifi issues. Not sure why Pheonix staff didn't have an early badge pickup option like Seattle's. Or ANY use of those plastic badges. Instead, they just left those on a table as useless souvenirs. Couldn't even scan them in or something.
