Castlefest was great. The weather was perfect for an outdoors event. A bit cloudy but still warm, not too hot.The food was good even though it was expensive as fuck. The kürtõskalács was my favourite. If you ever go to Castlefest I highly recommend those.Also couldn't find a good spot to enjoy eating the overpriced food without those damn wasps showing up. Fuck those things.
>>10774184I miss tsunacon TAT
>>10774184Twitch con looks like it has a different target audience.
>>10797105I dont know where they came from, but fuck them wasps. Castlefest was a blast, despite the overpriced food indeed. High quality costumes, people were open and easy to talk to and the beer and mead weren't watered down. I was walking around alone, so I could find a place to sit at the tables whenever, because most people dont mind sitting and conversating with a stranger.
I know that cosplayers like Momokun have been canceled for their strange behavior at cons... but I've been going to conventions since 2005, and I see this sort of thing all the time. I am not defending her, I think she is a nasty piece of work, but why is it that only she has been "canceled" when this happens all the time?
>>10766742Gods willing.
>>10764326Home studio I believe, I've seen photos from some cosplayers using it. They just don't tag it, but I do see them thanking her on personal posts.
Momokun's accusers such as Bunny Ayumi have all turned out to be terrible people
momokun is such a disgusting degenerate fat ugly slob. thank god I didn't run into her at AX this year.
Momo did nothing wrong

>>10798192if the blouse was cotton with cotton lace (like btssb's back pintuck blouse or a more extravagant cotton blouse), and there were UTKs with cotton lace (like btssb's ribbon knee socks, any torchon/cluny lace would do) I would consider this old school.The chiffon really does ruin it for me. The fact that there is no lace on the socks visible also makes it seem like they're just plain white tights, which is too boring imo.I understand why people say this (the coord) isn't old school.
>>10798260You can see the top of the socks, they're not tights. But I agree the blouse ruins it

I remember going to cons when I was in early college. I could always just hang out with people I just met. Sometimes I'd meet a cute girl and we'd go to a rave. Or, if I was in a group we'd all laugh and have a fun time. It always seemed like a new event or adventure to go to.Recently though, cons have been so depressing for me. I guess I lost a lot of my friends because they moved or just got busy with other life stuff. I tried going solo to a con recently and almost cried because it was the most isolating experience. Maybe I'm just getting older? Idk, the magic is certainly gone. There's a con coming up in my home town again and am thinking about just skipping it and stop going to cons. Maybe it's just a right of passage during people's lives. I'd compare it to how the internet was in the early 2000's to how the internet is today. The internet used to be a silly place to post memes and socialize on forums. Now it's a place to get TikTok famous.
>>10792277>>10792684>>10794188>>10794421>>10794573Eyyyyyy! 30s club. Much in the same boat as these folk. Married so I'm not worried about chasing con tail. Got a big boy engineering job so money is nothing and a solid group of friends that like to con together. We get like 2 a year and its a pretty chill affair. The hype to get drunk every night is gone and replaced by the desire to be in a colorful atmosphere with good company. No drama, no screaming. Honestly it rules. Been applying more work to cosplays as well, never going to be pro but my props have grown significantly better.
>>10796129DINK life is great for cons
>>10792684depends on the consome cons are old school with a mix of underage attendees(usually with their parents that also have gone to cons), college age attendees, and 30 or older attendeesother cons are FULL of underage or even elementary children and everything is geared to the Naruto, bay-blade, and latest children's anime/Pokemon that yearwhile some are ONLY populated by 30 to retirement age attendeesas long as the con you go to isn't full of ONLY CHILDREN, you should be able to have a good time, try to mingle in the alcohol and ID area's if you need something to give you a "oh, hey there, remember G-Gundam? ACE OF SPADES!!!!" lines
Tbis thread is depressing af to read. Yall need to work on outcome independent attitudes, and leave egos at the door. Im 36 and still have a blast at cons. I have a core crew I usually hang with but a myriad of friends i’ve met along the years. You can meet all sorts of awesome people at cons still. Just remember what you enjoy about your fandoms and let yourself unapologetically gush over people you see sharing it. If they dont match your energy no worries. Bid them a good con and move on! Give yourself permission to join in on things that might normally embarrass you. You are in costume, you already have a degree of removal from your actual self.Let the Genshins enjoy their pretty skinner box waifu gambling sim. They let me enjoy my boomer anime and cape shit stuff! Everyone is there to have a good time. Just don’t let expectations get in your way.
I was going through that too. I struggled so hard at having fun at conventions, especially by myself. It reached a breaking point around 28. I walked into an ALA stand-up comedy panel, a couple drinks in, and every single person's routine who went up can be summarized as "HAHA US VIRGINS BRO" or "haha god i'm so sad I wanna kms", and these are grown men in their 20s/30s. I realized that I honestly just fucking hate everyone else who's into anime/manga. Can't stand a single one of these fuckers, along with tabletop gaming enjoyers. Now? I've got a friend group of very """vanilla""" folks who enjoy video games and have other interests but don't care for anime/manga/cosplay, but fuck me, they can actually talk about something other than their thinly-veiled porn addictions, and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm never going back to a con, ever. I don't even watch anime, anymore. The day I finally kick manga is the day I'll be free.
Judging from my appearance, who could i cosplay?
If only we could get actual moderation so threads like this one and >>10795371 and >>10793697 stop sprouting and people actually use the cosplay rec thread. I am so sick of hese retarded faggy faces popping up in the catalog.

>>10798226>6ft2 and 131 lbsCosplay as xQc instead
I'm a big buff guy, I frequent /fit/ and am 6'3", but I'm afraid to talk to traps at anime conventions. Last time I did, I just tipped my top hat and said, "what a stunning cosplay, may I please have a photo?". They laughed awkwardly and ran away :(. I don't want to be a creep but I'd love to be friends with a trap cosplayer. I don't really want to talk to cis women cosplayers, no offense, but cis women cosplayers are kind of annoying and entitled. oh, also shallow, yeah.
Being big and buff is not a personality trait or interesting by itself. It is a multiplier of what you have and clearly you are just a typical thirsty goon, so it doesn't product to much
You sure you want to be picking up traps with monkeypox running about?
>>10798062I already have monkeypox and AIDS
>>10797739Personally I'm into feminine/androgynous guys. So for a masculine lookin guy to pick me up he has to have good game. Or catch my attention with his looks
>>10797739Cosplay Astolfo.
This thread is for sharing your feels.Previous thread:>>10778494
>>10797933No photos for you, you'd just jerk off to them. My face is very androgynous. I get mistaken for a man on a daily basis until I speak.
>>1079787899% of the people that crossplay muscular characters use a silicon muscular suit, and then blend the seams into their skin with latex. It passes the visual test pretty well and looks good in photos. My friends that crossplay shirtless guys all use them. big booba cosplays also use silicon tits.
>>10798052why? there must be other reasons
>>10798105ok well i dont care about your head unless I'm getting some so just post those jumbo yum yums kay?
>>10791359what dress?
Which is Astolfo?
>>10795641None. It’s Ereshkigal, Mordred, Shuten, Artoria, Scathach, Jeanne, and Lionfucker.
>>10795721Thanks anon that was very useful

Trying to work on Mishra here for future MtG events, and I'm a little stumped on what to use for fabric on his skirt-thingy under the green-light belt. The gold and red can be fabric paint/trim, but it's the main black parts that are stumping me.
>>10798302It's also occurred to make that part out of EVA alongside the belt, but I don't know if that will look right. Any thoughts?
How come people are so mean on this board?
