>>10910508yeah, my cum
>>10910508Unfortunately accurate. The amount of overweight women in crappy cosplay is unfortunate.

Will there be any good pre-made fallout jumpsuits released now that the show is a success? I got this micco one and it’s good but a really high quality one would be better.
Fallout is dead. It will now be infected with normalfags that only play the Bethesda games. Do whatever you can to distance yourself from it.
>>10910153Fallouts pre-Bethesda were pointless to cosplay because resolution of outfits was incredibly low you braindead /v/ professional noplayerWhere it died was with Fallout 4

>>10909590I'll be going to metrocon and Sarasota Anime-Fest if anyone wants to meetup, I'm going by myself so looking for new buddiesdisc: kiaser
>>10910759What's your lineup for metro?
>>10910720>>10910759>>10910768Is there something to Metrocon that I'm not getting? I went three years ago and was pretty underwhelmed desu
>>10910773Some years are better than others. I just enjoy going when I'm off work and seeing old con buddies down in Florida.
I'm too old to understand this subculture please enlighten melike how do you feel when you larp as an anime character makes you feel like
>>10896009Borderline Personality Disorder, unironically. Look up the narcissist-borderline cycle.
i love making stuff. same as anyone who likes woodworking or spinning pottery.i love anime and japan. but you usually get a ton of crap like weebs who've only seen 2010s mainstream shit and who never learned japanese (i'm far from perfect, but at least i've passed jlpt n1). i like feeling at home with my weeb level at a con. i feel odd at cons if i dont cosplay. and i would love to wear weeb shit like geta every day but that's unacceptable for a white guy so i cosplay semi-traditional characters instead. i like feeling like someone else.secretly i hope if i cosplay at a con someone'll wanna fuck. i've only ever been in serious relationships brought on by love confessions, i'd love to experience a one-night stand.
>>10895583Halloween was always my favorite holiday, guess that carried onto adulthood with better excuses to dress up.
I just do it because I hope it will help me make friends and maybe a gf (male) someday
>>10895906>>10896115way too many larpers and retards itt. you felt nothing wearing it because you bought shitty mass produced chinese crap at goodwill and threw it on like a kid playing dress up. maybe lolita just isn't your style, but you weren't wearing lolita, so how could you know? without investing time into learning about the fashion, its history, and each of its coordination elements, you're going to look like shit. enjoy your $5 poly sack you obnoxious autist. >its like putting up a christmas tree. it's no good if you just "Wear it"lolita fashion is clothing. it's not cosplay. it's designed to be regularly worn. your "reason" to wear it is that it's fucking cute and makes you feel good about yourself. as someone who also has mostly traditionally male hobbies, the way you dress has nothing to do with what you do in your free time. and if some dumbfuck moid giving you a hard time over your frilly dresses makes you want to stop wearing them, then lolita is not the fashion for you.
I fucked up the title of the last thread and put Anime Weekend Atlanta.Anyone going to Momocon? Dates are Friday, May 24th through Monday, May 27th at the Georgia World Congress Center. Have any cosplay plans? Doing any interesting panels? Selling anything?
I'm planning on going. I'm thinking of cosplaying as Kaji from Neon Genesis, Red from Mandy, and Professor Utonium. I'm going all 4 days.>>10907714I agree, look up the parking pass and its real easy if you get the red deck or blue deck. I did this back in Feb at the ATL Comic Con. The deck will have elevators that go up to GWCC, at least the Red Deck did.
>>10910322You look and see a retard, I see a professional wrestling idiot savant. The tard has real potential. That was one hell of a Samoan Drop he attempted on the female wrestler.
>>10910431Spoken like a true carnie
>>10910504I would enjoy a yearly Momocon invitational where cosplayers step into the ring with the tard for a chance at glory. I imagine few would survive the encounter.
>>10910757Too old to be taking chair shots like that dawg. Something's been bothering me for a month, who decided it would be a good idea to do Friday-Mon for a con, but have their literal after party event be on a Saturday night, same night as a rave? I'm coming from out of town, so I have to drive on a Sunday but that shit seems fucking weird to me.
iirc it happened to take place around the 2010's with either the new 52 and/or the suicide squad movie but i'm not sure on how everyone decided to start dressing up as her(for that matter, did any major (cos)player dress up as her prior to 2011?)

>>10910426Bruv that’s JNig, she wants people to stare. That’s what her whole career is based on
>>10910187update from the man himself: i totally miscalculated the “when”
What's the best community? If you could just magically wake up already living in the city with the comm of your choice, where would it be and why?Are there any comms that you feel are too far gone and better left given up on to dissolve by their own internal squabbling?
>>10910730Ayrt and some people can’t tan naturally, which I believe is something you may be confused about. Of course most Asians won’t be type 1 but that’s up to genetics and not necessarily your race. Like >>10910738 stated there was a combination of both. Sun damage wasn’t a worry in the 90s but if your one of the lighter skin types you can find that out for yourself.
>>10910738AYRT, yeah, i think we're on the same page here! the reason tanning was popular in the first place was because social norms idealised paler skin as a holdover from when how tan someone was indicated how much field work they did, and lightening creams were extremely popular. gyaru rejected this norm by tanning their skin. the bleached hair comes from something similar-- bleached hair used to be banned from most schools and even some workplaces, and sometimes associated with delinquency. both come from a place of rejecting homogeneity. but i mostly brought it up because the whole "it's racist to tan" thing is just feels delusional with the context that a lot of girls were using their own natural melanin and as a result of the delusion now gyaru has lost all of its subversive aspects and feels purely mainstream.
>>10910727>You should also consider the fact that gyaru depleted in popularity after Gyaru magazines started pushing light skinned gals with no extreme make up as their models.this isn't true at all. it wasn't certain substyles, it was a personal choice, many girls chose not to tan during the most popular point in gyaru because it was very mainstream during the 2000s up to 2010. the only real "style" that requires tanning is kuro because it's in the name. many of the ones involved in hostess culture, followers of ayumi hamasaki, hime-kei wearers and anyone wearing "pop gyaru" never tanned at all. even back in the 90s level of tanning different among gyaru themselves. gyaru didn't die during this time and flourished up until around 2015 where it slowly began gaining influence from instagram on the easily accessed global internet. that's what killed gyaru. not the lack of tanning or tanning or anything related to i. gyaru was only super rebellious for a super short time and then it became worn by attractive girls trying to emulate western trends they saw in videos/magazines. it influenced hostess/host and kyaba culture, music and many forms of media. the reason it's shit now is because of globalization and trend hopping due to tiktok. i suggest you actually do more research into gyaru and what it was and what it evolved into because the shit it is now is a natural progression from what it was in the 2000s.
>>10910730Gyaru often wore foundation on their faces an tanned their face lighter. It was fairly known in Japan/EA that tanning caused wrinkles at the very least. A lot of gyaru used bronzer and darker shades from the US instead of actual foundation(as well as stuff that wasn't even makeup) to achieve the dark tone and makeup looks of the 90s. There are many resources and documentaries that showcase this stuff if you know where to look. I can link some that are available on youtube.>>10910727Most of what you're saying isn't really true and gyaru definitely was booming when less girls were tanning. It was the most popular "style" for a good decade, and was worn by many big popstars of the time. Gyaru only started dying when western internet was more easily accessible, so they could just copy western trends instead of inventing stuff. That's not to say it's not a shame, but what you're saying is disingenuous.
>>10910744>the whole "it's racist to tan" thing is just feels delusional with the context that a lot of girls were using their own natural melaninNTA, but that's the part that's racist apparently. many black women are bitter at lighter skinned women(including other black women) that they are able to tan and it goes away. also i think you are focusing too much on gyaru being rebellious when it was only rebellious for a very short time as other anons have said.
What are your thoughts on dark elves?
>>10910530The difference is that it's dark brown, not an unnatural color like metallic or hot pink. You can't put body paint on for any shade that can be natural in the US and get away with it.Also Frieren's skin only shows for her face (ears), hands, and a tiny sliver of neck and upper chest. It is really just face/hand painting to change you skin color for her and even harder to pass publicly.
>>10910625My point is that I do not understand why you would want to see someone cosplay a boring recolor in the first place
>>10910632because it's legendaryYou can get two Frieren cosplayers face off and recreate the battle scene.have you not seen people who cosplay the statue versions?
>>10910729>have you not seen people who cosplay the statue versions?nope
Why don't black people choose race-appropriate characters instead of embarrassing themselves like this.
>covid is over>too shy to cosplay without a mask
>tfw still see people throw an autistic meltdown over people not wearing masks at cons in the year 2024 Why the fuck does mental illness run so rampant in this community?
>>10908739Is there any con still doing that? The last of them seemed to give in already that I know of, the final event that required masks I remember was Combo Breaker 2023
>>10908372>the ring in the handDamn that's cool
>>10907364Try Dinaranger cosplay. You can base it off a catsuit and standard hood from, say Hiro Gato.That way only your eyes are visible.
>>10907364If you took off the mask, would it be painful?
It's been 10 years Are cons safer now?Anyone encountered any con creeps?I (male) got my butt grabbed by another guy once, didn't bother me desu (not gay)
>>10910648not to tinfoil but i'm completely convinced normies go to cons to do creepshots and passing gropes because they know they can probably just blame it on the nearest autist or think anime fans are all desperate degenerates anyway. every time i ever see someone get kicked out it's some guy who doesn't even seem to be there for the con.
>>10910673A lot of normies go to cons because they think it's the easiest source of pussy on the planet (the truth is the polar opposite) and if they show up with their basic bitch tastes in anime and what they've deluded themselves into thinking constitutes "rizz", that they can bed anybody they see almost immediately. The creepshots and groping comes from their inevitable failures leading to them "taking it out" on the con weirdoes rather than simply accepting this isn't their space and leaving.
>>10910436The only incidents of too much touching I've had were foreigners who didn't speak english who wanted selfies with me but got very handsy during it.
>>10910441Bait but even if it were true... she's consenting to doing stuff with the hot guys and not consenting to doing anything with the ugly one. What part of that do you not understand? Do you really think women owe every man attention or affection just because he exists?
>sexualize yourself >complain about being sexualizedThe average woman is like the homeless guy masturbating on a bus, they thing what they are doing isn't wrong
Sewing Thread: post your sewing related questions here.What threads do you guys use? I need recommendations for strong wholesale thread sites
>>10908323You have some options here and it really depends on your person preference, time, and money.If you make it yourself, you'll just have to accept that it won't look neat or perfect due to your difficulty with making things straight. If that's okay with you, start with a premade poncho and use the method that is going to be easiest for you. Ribbon with sewing glue or WonderUnder or fabric paint would work. It's just preference. Sewing would've been the best, but clearly that isn't an option for you. Also, don't use knit. Use a non-stretch and not-holed fabric like cotton. I'm not sure why you'd need waterproof necessarily.If you do not want to make it yourself or want it to look better, try seeing if you can find the cosplay online. Some people sell their old costumes and some companies make and sell them. Or you can commission the pieces from an artist if you have the time and funds.Good luck, anon!
How do you tailor sleeves?My elbows are annoying me. I'm using non-stretchy fabric. My arms are pretty much 14" all the way to my hands, but as soon as I bend my elbow, it's like 20". I don't want to have to walk like a mummy.
>>10910571You have to add fabric where you need more. You can't make non-stretch fabric grow. There are a couple of different shapes of panels you can add, but if it's the whole arm, you are likely best off with a panel for the entire length of the arm.
>>10910627But I don't want the whole arm to be baggy just for the elbow.
>>10910663Well then I guess you're not going to bend your arms or flex the entire time. Suck it up for physics.A looser sleeve for the whole length will look less awkward than a bulge or a hole at the elbow.
Previous thread >>10803531 died from a lack of posts. Not all that surprising with how little there was to post about at the time. Personally I'm also somewhat done with /cgl/ and all the pointless con drama and have been focusing on other things. But now that we've got several conventions around the corner, have a new thread!Question of the thread: What convention are you looking forward to the most this year and why?Upcoming major events>22-23 Sep: Elfia Haarzuilens, a large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens.>6-7 May: MIA NL, a popular commercial anime convention in Gorinchem.>21-21 May: Comic Con Brussels, a large commercial geek convention in Brussels.>9-11 June: Animecon, the oldest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Rijswijk.>24-25 June: Heroes DCC, the largest commercial geek convention with a focus on dealers. >30 Jun-2 Jul: Dokomi DE, a large popular anime convention in Dusseldorf.>8-9 July: Atsusacon, Belgium's largest anime convention... I think?>3-6 August: Castlefest, a(nother) large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens with tons of great food.>11-13 August: Abunai!, the second oldest and probably now largest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Veldhoven.>12-13 August: Showmasters Comic Con Amsterdam, a geek convention in Amsterdam.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10899683Would Elfia Haarzuilens be worth traveling to from the UK? I skimmed the youtube videos of the cons on the list and it seemed the most fun. Price wise it doesn't seem much more than going to a non-local UK con.
>tfw when no cosplaying dutch bf
>>10905933I would say so if you like fantasy fairs. I personally really like Elfia. Nice location, always something to do or see.Unfortunately it's kinda shit if it rains a lot. But that's a risk you have to take.
Facts 2024 spring had too much funko's. Lotsa cute girls though
>book hotel for anime con>think of it I booked right by the event center>check reservation from email>hotel is inside chinatownHow badly did I screw this up? Will train be okay? I do not want to taxi.
