Post those seagull feels.

My cosplay friend is 23 but looks about 12. We like to tease her, saying that all of her fans are pedos. Well, we might stop now... Her Discord mod didn't show up to Dragoncon. Guess what he was arrested for?

And my Etsy order from the UK cancelled.

Anyway, I wish that more cons were hosted in my country, i love cosplaying

Soon about to go to a con together with someone I've been crushing on HARD. We met at another con in July and were both extremely fast to make plans to go to a bunch of cons together. I may be too much of a coward to say anything to him, I don't know if I should, but at least it'll be a fun weekend even if nothing happens and it just fades out afterwards. It sure would be awkward as hell if I spoke up on how I feel and ruined all the plans for next year due to it being weird

I don't know how to feel about all the board tourists we've been getting lately that make new threads for their specific cosplay instead of using one of the generals. On the one hand it shits up the catalogue since their short thread might stay on this slow board for over a year, plus it pushes existing old threads that are full of information out of the catalogue. But on the other hand it keeps us from becoming absolutely glacial like /po/.

In the feels department, I finally got my GF to try cosplay last con. She wasn't into the idea but was like "meh okay I'll try it". Went all in, HARD: she made the costumes from scrap, sewing and combining multiple pieces of clothing; made all the accessories; I got the wig and contacts and made the prop weapons. She looked so good, people were commenting on her cosplay, one dude even came ranting about how he could tell she made it herself with all the details and that other generally just bought the costume and looked like shit; photographer going down the escalator yelled out "WAIT I"M COMING BACK UP TO TAKE PHOTOS". She completely fell in love with cosplay after that, and I've never been happier than us planning cons and making costumes together.

I hope your con-life progresses like a rom-com, good luck

Philip Ojomo came to this country without anything than hope for a new beginning. He was happy as he got offered a job at Autohaven Wreckers. A small scrap yard where bribed cops turned a blind eye for the somewhat shady business that took place.

Ojomo didn't care. He had seen criminal activity up close in his homeland and as long as he didn't get involved, he let things be. He just fixed cars and handled the crusher. Something he did really well. A car went in and a small, metallic cube came out.

Sitting in my hotel room at Dragon Con right now, it's 1 PM already and I've barely gotten out of bed. I spent so much time being anxious about my cosplays and getting here and not looking bad that I forgot to actually get excited for anything.
I know I should stop wasting time, I know it's only once a year and I should value the chance and be excited to get out there and socialize and go to panels, I know I gain nothing from sitting around feeling like ass. But that's just the thing. I've built up so much mental pressure around "should" that everything I do feels like the wrong choice.
I WANT to go out, have a good time, meet people, make friends. But I don't know how to make friends, I've never had more than passing conversations at cons, I don't know when or if it's appropriate to ask for someone's Instagram or something. I'm not cosplaying to impress other people because I don't even like my own cosplays, I'd be a thousand times more comfortable going in normal clothes, but I also know that cosplay borders on mandatory if I don't want to be just another nerd in an endless sea of them.
It's that and a billion other things. I've built up this dense ball of insecurity and repression and self-doubt and fear around myself and don't know how to break out of it.

oh wow the new feels thread, only took, oh god *looks at the calendar* 9 months have passed?? 2025 is already halfway over??
>>10960050
>and don't know how to break out of it.
I know it's easier said than done, but with literally any mental issue you have with yourself, if you want to overcome it, you have to act like you don't have it. You are basically putting yourself in permanent shackles everytime you tell yourself you can't do something
>>
I want to start sewing my own cosplays "once I move out", but I fear I'm just going NEET on and never get anything done in my retarded chungus life
>>
>>10960050
Hey, don't worry about it. Don't worry about the "once a year" thing, or anything like that. Cons will always be there. Take your time and figure it out on your own schedule. If you miss things, well that's 100% fine. You can do it next time. Just enjoy what moments you can.
I've been in your shoes. A few years ago, made the cosplay, was so busy trying to make sure everything was perfect, I was dead and tired and didn't even leave the room until about 1-2pm on the main Saturday. I felt like trash before leaving the room for all the reasons you described. I missed a lot of the con, and hated myself for it. But the part where I was actually out and about? It was great, I was just too busy overthinking to realize it at the time.
It was fine. I learned from it. Next con was better.
You will be fine, and you will have a great time. If you don't, then you will learn from it, and next con will be so much better.
Seriously rooting for you to have a good time.
As for making friends, talking to people, etc....you learn by doing. Blurt stuff out. Ask people for their contacts if you seem to jive. If people turn you down or get weird about it, so what? It happens to me. It happens to everyone. That's how you learn how to socialize. It's not the end of the world. As long as you aren't pushy, just blurt it out and get it over with. Doing is how you learn.

No matter what it's been said about lolita communities here, I'm glad I finally got into one. I'm always the best dressed one, and it's less awkward to go in full coord in public when there are other lolitas around to use as meat shields against the weirdos, the pervs and the dangerous people (the normies have no idea how badly dressed the others are, so idc).
Also it feels like I'm part of an exclusive club since we're not accepting people who don't make the bare minimum of dressing up to go to meets

I knew a girl who was 22 and had two young kids, divorced, looked like she was 12. She was completely clueless about it. She was pretty seriously dating this guy only to come home one day to find him jacking off on her 3 y.o. it fucked her up so much that she started doing heroin and lost her kids. pedos gonna ped I guess.

I know deep down it would have been just another drunk hangout sesh like we’d had a million times before, but it would’ve been better than leaving him on read. Hug your friends Anons, you never truly know. Call it fake and gay all you want, just be grateful for your friends man.

I'm terrible at cosplaying for myself due to my own body/face image but I love making costumes and props. I want to be the Gojo in some girl's life so she can wear and love them costumes I make without it being a business venture like doing commissions. It feels like I've passed the time to have a chance at finding someone who would fulfill that without it being creepy. I guess the only other alternate is to do masked cosplays for myself so it isn't as noticible.

To end the story as a final update it turns out I didn't need to say anything last weekend, because he did first. I was shocked to hear he'd been feeling the same and just being careful and slow to show it.
I'm in disbelief still I know its fresh but I might actually have a cosplay boyfriend. I don't know how I could've gotten so lucky, its nostalgic seeing the old posts and how I felt seeing it all progress, and I will be the best person I can for him!

Today I realized I achieved my goal of living up to the American stereotypes in anime while talking to some of my friends from Taiwan and Hong Kong. What do I do with my life now?

I had a close friendship/quasi-relationship with a girl like that, early 30s by the end but still could pass for 12, and fit into clothes from the 11-13 section. She actively played into it, screenname had "loli" in it and stuff. Her big problem was attracting abusive guys, I guess because she seemed so small and weak, and it really fucked her in the head and sent her down a drug path as well, in her case abusing prescriptions and it led to her dying last year thanks to something that was supposed to be xanax but was really fentanyl.

I have been selling nearly all of my costumes as I have zero self esteem or enthousiasm left to go to cons.
Next wednesday I have an intake for a 2 year long lifestyle/diet program, hoping to turn my life around.
>>
>>10959992
I met up with my friend after saying I potentially intended to ghost her and I thought of her as more of an aquaintance on another board, not expecting her to read it. Then she said "thank you for not ghosting me" when we met up and I felt a huge amount of guilt in the pit of my stomach.

>tfw you love fashion styles so much but nothing looks good on you

I'm super into lolita, J-fash in general actually, and I'm looking into building a basic wardrobe.

I just became hyperaware of how unsightly I am, really. Well, not became, I've always known I've looked like this, it just hit me really hard when I see all the other people wearing whatnI want and looking nice in it, and knowing if I even attempted to do the same it'll just look wrong.

If it's not because I'm too facially ugly, it's because I'm too tall, fat, ungraceful (autistic so my movements are very uncoordinated).

And I visit cgl because I still love cosplay and fashion, but it hurts knowing that participating will make me hate myself even more

i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate all these younger cosplayers that look way better than me i didnt have accessible smart phone cameras when i was a kid and everything was way more expensive and most of them use ai to pretty themselves up i never had that when i was younger and now im so old and disgusting no amount of makeup or ai can save me
>>
>tfw after losing 33 pounds i look decent in my tactical outfit and girls in conventions are looking at me salivating

I finally feel like I have sex appeal. Now i'm gonna look for the cosplay thots and have sex in costume with them. God, I wanna fuck someone in cosplay so bad.

They will get older too, no one is safe. You could cosplay characters your age, for example that witch from Spirited Away

>girl with autism and borderline thinks i'm a harasser/abuser, now that she's pregnant with a guy she met through cosplay and has ADHD
>both of them regularly don't take their meds on purpose
>before she got married and pregnang she used to hit on a girl in the group in a blatant way
>gotten into arguments with her because she wanted to kinkshame others

Why do I even bother caring anymore? I hate people who barely figure their shit talking about others. Go fix yourself and function properly before wanting to talk about others, sweetie.
