Bump
One of my "friends" asked me when will I realize that i'm not a child, so that i would stop dressing like one.Normies and their comments used to not get to me but ever since that comment i've been way more conscious and it's just making me sad.
Mostly nice comments from old ladies, women complimenting me on my shoes, got asked twice in one day while at work if I was cosplaying Misa from death note. Right before lockdown I had a really nice experience with a woman at a makeup store who talked about how much her daughter loves the fashion but she couldn't remember what it was called (I was too embarrassed to tell her)Only time I really got annoyed tho was a few weeks ago when i was grocery shopping and two maskless 30 something women got in my space and started asking me if I was going to a costume party/if I wore that for, like, every day stuff? Definitely not the worst experience but still annoying.Honestly I'm just surprised people are so nice about it, I live in a pretty small rural town and I guess I assumed people would be a little more shameless about mocking others.
> Friend and I taking the skytrain in lolita> Our train car is empty> A family walks into the train car from the next one over and sits in the row directly behind us> Umm, weird, but okay whatever> Someone from the family gets up and walks to the row in front of us> Pulls out their camera, turns to us, and starts taking pictures of us with the family seated behind us posing> They don't say a word to us, let alone make eye contact> We get up and leave> They don't even react, camera person just sits back down and they all start speaking in their native language
I was at a grocery store recently and a lady stopped me to tell me that, "Your dress is so beautiful!" with two thumbs up. I was so taken aback I could only say thank you and keep walking. Sorry nice lady, I usually get weird comments and don't know how to respond to compliments apparently.
What impact will the coronavirus have on the convention scene in 2021? Will it be lower energy? More intense?
>>10396566>tons of people flood to this con because they haven't been to one since December >Tampa Convention Center security doesn't give a shit when it comes to checking people>cases skyrocket and the next con in Florida is in 2022
>>10400319Glomping? What decade are you in?>>10401999Absolutely. Doesn't help with the amount of people who are just tired of the stay-at-home thinking they're imprisoned at home and the COVIDiots out there protesting or acting like snowflakes.So many people don't understand what "flattening the curve" even fucking meant. Some thought it was supposed to cure the fucking disease, instead of just preventing the health care system from being overtaxed.
>/cgl/ is still in denial that online cons will be the new norm when it comes to celebrating fandoms.
Congrats Amerikkka for reaching 100k deaths and no conventions for another year.
>Miku Expo moved again to April 21, 2021>On a fucking Tuesday Looks like Coachella is cancelled too.
Let’s be real here. Is anyone actually planning on going to any cons that are still on?
>>10402323It's pretty small. If you've been to Chibi-Pa in the past, it's the same con with a new name, basically. Tbh you're better off saving time/money for Holmat if it doesn't get Rona'd.
>>10402348The only cons I've done in Broward were at the Ft Lauderdale Convention Center. So due to fairly limited exposure, the best reference I got is that the ones at the Miami Airport Convention Center are "big enough". Not sure if that helps any. Thanks for the advice though. Maybe I can actually convince someone if things have improved by December.
>>10402323>>10402039>>10402018>>10402003Lets all get together and give china the finger trying to stop cons and the economy.
>>10401998Yeah, the affect rate to people under 40 and not overweight/have health issues is near nill. So why not go?
>>10402481How many weebs are overweight and poor?
I’m trying to make a costume and figured that while this board is made for cosplaying. They could help me make a decent Halloween costume. I want to dress as season 2 Rapunzel but I have no idea where to find the clothing I need. The hair and makeup should be easy at least. I do want a cosplay quality one while on a budget. Perhaps maybe $100 total. Can you all help me?
go to the help thread
>>10372638making a new thread get you bullied
Are you a t.ranny?
>>10401617Quality and budget only clme together when you can hand craft it, and you already have the necessary tools on hand.Do you have a sewing machine? Have you worked with fabric before?
>>10402175No and sadly no. :-(
I'm very close to considering attending Anime Matsuri this year from all the way from the DC area just to get out of the house after 2-3 months.I've heard about the convention many years ago but I need to know what to expect.
I had some girls in the previous thread telling me that the good smile racing booth was a lie, and that goodsmile put out a statement saying they aren't coming and had never even heard of anime matsuri.Nigga...AM is on the fucking 2020 racecar...The lengths these gulls go to to try and seem "strong and outspoken" lol it's just funny at this point.
>>10402051Link us
>>10402051.... Where? I read the entire thread? What are you even talking about
>>10402294They link to AM on goodsmile racing website as a sponsor so that person is lying.https://www.goodsmileracing.com/en/sponsor/company/
>>10402305No I don’t care about that I meant where was someone even lying about it.
So they still insist on doing this con, in NYC of all places, one of the most claustrophobic cities I've ever been in, like a second wave won't happen in the winter.Well we'll see how that turns out for them. These guys had their cosplay meet ups take photos in one small area, I'm sure nothing will go wrong.
>>10392199I mean we supposedly had 6 million jews baked but new yorks modern cremation facilities couldn't even handle their one week workload. that's real data, not greta thunberg telling you to eat bugs. Take it as you will.
>>10392241Should have thrown them all into a pit.These Corona topics are getting sho boring. Wah wah Jews and chinks
Who the fuck wants to see Rwby voice actresses?
>>10392241>Professional crematoriums>Put in one body at a time>Legally have to scrub the incinerator from top to bottom after each cremation to avoid cross-contanimation>Have to meet stringent health and safety laws>Nazi crematorium>Can literally pile bodies on top of each other>Only need to clean when it starts to clog up>Who gives a shit about the safety of the POWs loading the bodiesGee anon, I wonder why Nazi crematoriums were able to process more bodies than modern peace-time facilities.
Realistically they have to proceed as if the con is still happening until the State/City cancels events or risk losing their deposit. They already told press applicants that if the con is postponed, the press pass will be good for 2021 instead.
Do you still have your own yaoi paddle? Soft- or hardcore side?
>>10400534i enjoyed this picspam. back when cosplay was actually fun...
Would love to see a "where are they now and what do they do now" with these 2005-2012 cosplayers.
>>10401850they're now boring normies who are married and have kids, as basically everyone becomes past 30
>>10401883are you like 18? people don't grow up, they just buy work clothes. you'll see.
>>10401883Look zoomer, the cons you attend are run by people over 30 with established careers.
new larp thread, edition: still in winter slumber, with occasional sleep walkingprevious thread: >>10265314
>>10398592Well its a larp shield, plywood, garden hose for the rim and canvas. Might be decent for SCA too. Plywood is fairly thick - 8mm i think?
>>10402080Most LARP Discords are hot garbage because not only are they filled with random people who just LARP and do wholly different things within that niche. Even worse: They're usually overflowing with random kids who "want to start LARPing, but can't ):::" who will shit everything up.Also>He doesn't research his LARP kitsIf you think there are no historical LARPs then you can take your boat back to the US. >>10402098UNLIMITED. POWER.
>>10402690>If you think there are no historical LARPs then you can take your boat back to the US.he is right though on the account that """research""" alone won't make your kit better. Especially the kind of half assed """research""" I see here and there.There is this weird idea that if you pretend your kit is "historical" (and I use the term REALLY loose here) then it's automatically good even if it's put together like shit. I would take any day a decent fantasy kit than a half assed "historical" one
>>10402695Ofcourse research alone won't make the kit better. But espescially for historical LARPs it's a base from which you work. If the LARP requires me to be a French trouvere in 1226 and I don't even know any songs, a vague idea of the thematics and it's origins. And even worse, not a clue what to wear so I just make potato bag and call it historical. Then it's gone.Research doesn't make a good kit, but it's a base for fitting within the leitmotiv of the LARP.
>>10402700obviously and I agree with you but take into account that some people call it research if they read a few facebook/twitter posts that may or may not in the same subject, and THEN they start preaching about how important it is and use the word authentic in every second sentence. In short: research, medieval, authentic and a lot of similar stuff became buzzwords
FB has seen a surge in tag groups and the claims that they’re “worse than cgl”... they exist alongside the growing activity in general j-fashion groups that don’t enforce strict fashion guidelines. Thoughts on the FB salt mines? Are they too harsh? Are they warranted? Or we all just sick of seeing every pastel sweater being called jfashion?
>>10399444No you fucking rabid assmonger.I'm the following posts:>>10399437>>10399381>>10398617Care to tell me which word you're referring to or do you want to keep playing it vague so no one can call you on your bullshit.
>>10399460So you don't read your own posts? There is nothing vague lmao, turning up the aggression levels doesn't make you seem any less retarded.
>>10399476Nitpicking whatever they are on about won’t make people suddenly think they age groups aren’t cringe so why don’t we stay on topic?
>>10399476>There is nothing vaguethen tell me what word you're referring to in >>10399434>And neither is the word. Lurk more.
>>10399434Are you high
What characters do you consider are very hard or impossible to cosplay? And why is that?Pic related for me because you'd have to have a certain charisma and aesthetic alongside being quite fit,not to mention facial structure.
>>10398511I think this is a little different than what OP had in mind. There are cosplays of her, they’re just children doing the cosplay. I think OP meant character you don’t see at all. Stop being a fucking creep.
>>10400353Anon, I found a accurate cosplay of your penis, pic related.
>>10398008>impossibleYou know Reuben Langdon has done his own Dante cosplay and his wife did a spot-on Lady, right?inb4 >but he didn't wear a wig
>>10398008no shit brain weeb cosplayer actually meets your standards of charisma
You can make any costume you want, it's just a question of are you willing to save money, make mistakes, try over and over to get it right?
Just posting what leftover Mai cosplay & random cosplay pics I have in my folder. Enjoy!

>>10401675>>10401707kek at these fatass was projecting. your not thin, you can be average weight but not thin. bitching and moaning won’t suddenly make you thin
>>10401436>You're a newfag because you use the memories you had from that time and don't follow my advice to look into the archive to get better at pretending to be an oldfag, which is what newfags do, which I totally don't do!! If you don't look up the exact date of everything in the archive like me because I weren't around back then, you're a newfag, not me! D-dumbass!!Weird deflection but ok. Other anons remember it the same way I do, what's the point defending being wrong this hard in the first place? Just lurk more if you aren't going to go back man.
>>10401835>kek at these fatass was projecting. >your not thin>yourhow old are you?
>>10401945>what's the point defending being wrong this hard in the first placeexactly, stop trying to deflect so hard when you're completely wrong. i'm not sure why you think screaming "lurk moar!!! muh memories, im not pretending to be an oldfag!!!1" will somehow convince anyone, but it's pretty obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about. The difference between the postings weren't days, it was literally years.
Sup /cgl/As a cosplayer that I am, I am predicting that, when events come back, there will be a great influx of nods, parodies, or things related to our very own COVID-19.I would like to discuss with you people some things:When events come back, what will be the dynamics? Will we need to disinfect our costumes after each day of events? How many people will be allowed to enter events, and how big will they be? And more related to Corona-chan/other costumes directly related to them (like Hazmat personnel): Will the community accept these characters? Will a person be able to cosplay Corona-chan without getting shunned publicly for 'sexualizing something that caused death and suffering' or something like that?Thank you in advance.
>>10392657Bro, i've been cosplaying since 2017. Not a long "career" but I know how things are.>>10392669You can bet the Umbrella/operator cosplayers are gonna be more frequently seen.
I cosplayed a plague doctor at the last con I went to, before corona shut everything down and i didnt even think anything like this would happen... Now all of a sudden I see people dressing up as plague doctors everywhere because of corona and I have the feeling they will be commonplace at the first few cons that will happen after all of this is over
>>10392634Probably gonna break out my Mr. Foster cosplay again next con I can go to
>>10392634Rayman Rabbids with masks and toilet paper
>>10392657O_o;; Is that Mr.Pink?
