Old thread is hitting the image limit >>10715389This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

>mfw realizing cosplay is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10881516TF2 spy cosplay is the lowest hanging fruits and it always works for literally every fucking convention conceivable. Thank you Valve.
>>10878507Just gotta do what I do, and cosplay masked characters. Also don't be fat, or cosplay fat characters.
>>10878507Wrong. I can put on one hell of a Quasimodo cosplay.
>>10878507>Not intentfully doing hideous cosplayngmi
Where can I buy it or how can I make them?
Looks like you can get a base with soccor knee pads. If you can paint that will help.
>>109027251. Find Mary jane flats for men2. black elastic, purple buttons, craft foam for the blue pads and green stars, and for the rest of it maybe Id Frankenstein together 2 pairs of socks: a thick ribbed white one for the front, and blue and black striped ones for the top. For the back of the legs, I'd maybe cut some black pleather and paint the blue/purple gradient using a sponge (it might look bad if you don't prime it first). The same black pleather could be used for the tab at the top with the stars.
>>10902725Any more pics?
Any tips or ideals on how to make necklace? or what materials to use?
it appears to be a ribbon-like material and then it has a little thingy on it. hope that helps
That? White elastic, craft foam, paint, a snap or even velcro but elementary students shouldn't be in 4chan
>>10904288That is a tamagotchi glued to a dog collar.
>>10904288I made this when I was 14 by wrapping paper around an eraser and gluing it to elastic anon it shouldn't be that hard
>>10904288Serious answer, buy a plain white choker, a piece of Velcro, white polymer clay and paint, or white and dark grey polymer clay. Bake in the oven. Superglue one side of the velcro to the back of the microwave before top coat or it won't stick as well. Coat with glossy top coat. Sew the other side of the Velcro to the front of the choker (might be hard but one or two stitches with a strong needle that can poke through the collar will do). I would do the Velcro thing so I can make other charms to put on it later if I please.
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.

Happy holidays gulls! My gift to you is an updated convention list with the 2024 conventions. More will come once dates become available.https://rentry.org/cgldutchthread#2024-convention-calendarOut of curiosity, is there anything you would like to see next year? New events, guests and whatnot?
>>10896276As someone who recently moved here, has 0 friends and rarely goes outside, I will use the list (maybe) (perhaps).
>>10896276Another list.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19QGmdyRFwy4BZGOjXDoxgooSGAf9Xj18xkEtobLCuC0
thread's dead baby, thread's dead
>>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.
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
>>10902194I felt that way about going to Phish shows, it was cool at first I hated the music, I hated the crowd but sunk thousands of dollars into going. I just stopped going to shows unless my friends are going and its just an excuse to hang with them. I still go to shows but not as much as I used to. Just a weird sense of devotion I had.to something I no longer enjoyed.
>>10902493I used to lurk this board sometimes 5-10 years ago because I thought lolita was a cool subculture and I wanted to know more about my female friend's hobby. Since when have half the threads become cosplay coombait straight out of one of the porn boards (cosplay thighs, cosplay boobs, etc.)? Maybe it's just as >>10902594 says.
I actually quit around 2012 and started going to events agian in 2022. In a broad sense the "old days" felt more like a singles mixer, you went there to socialize with strangers, and people actually socialised with strangers. In modern times it's a shopping mall where some photos are taken. A lot more gays now too, mostly "non binary" fat lesbians. I really think everything is fucked. Even though I like the old days more they're gone, and there's this stuck in the past mentality that doesn't connect modern people.
>>10905770>In a broad sense the "old days" felt more like a singles mixer, you went there to socialize with strangers, and people actually socialised with strangers. In modern times it's a shopping mall where some photos are takenThis is the best concise summation of how I feel about cons as well, as somebody who's been going since '01.
>>10905770There's always been gays you blind fuck.
Hello I want to cosplay for the first time but I have a feeling im not "fan enough" for a certain character or whatever to make a cosplay of it, how do people handle this, specially people that are cosplaying tons of things, are you guys actually super fan of the franchises/characters or just happen to look at it and idk, go for it without a second thought despite having shallow knowledge of ifSpecially since lately I've been more and more interested in cosplay but not so much in watching anime (and I barely play games)
>>10899380>misunderstanding therapy this badlyjust fyi in reality a therapist helps you deal with uncomfortable/inconvenient truths.
>>10895409You should at least have some basic interest and knowledge of the series
>>10895409Imposter syndrome happens when you know your mid. Just do better then it will go away.
>>10895464>going to therapymy mom goes to therapy, she's been going for a few decades at this point, she is a cow being milked, she is their particular cash cow they milkhell no I'm not letting these subhumans anywhere near my actual thoughts, let alone my wallet
>>10899380>>10902465>anecdotal bad therapy examples = all therapy is bad everywhereholy fucking retardsI thought you were supposed to be the logical gender
Are Bridget and Poison like the only cosplays a MtF can do that aren't traps/femboys?
>>10905138God I wanna pound a brisket cosplayer so hard I hear the announcer yell COUNTER .
>>10905138No nigga, you'll never look like either of them, or any attractive character for that matter. See >>10905143
>>10905138Big handcuff is a great prop
I do not like troons very much :(How can you compare to a real cute girl? I hope they are all banned from conventions soon!
>>10905143Only poor ones who cant afford surgery.Same for women ig. But they can just use filters for that.
I find that after wearing a costume to a con or other event I don't know what to do with it. When the next event rolls around, I want to make a new costume. This means I have a closet full of old costumes basically just sitting there...What to you do with your costumes when you are "done" with them?
>>10905613/thread
A lot of girls will sell them. Not in a fetish way but theres not really a way to know if the person buying it is doing it for a fetish. When they're done talking pictures and wear the costume out to a couple of cons / got their money's worth, they'll sell them on different platforms. I've noticed some cosplayers have a highlight on their Instagrams with cosplays and wigs they're trying to get rid of with pricing.
>>10905613I wish the cosplayers I've dated were down for this, there were a few exceptions but in general they'd put too much work into to the costumes to be willing to ruin them banging in them, even if they didn't plan on wearing them again.
t b h this is why I switched to lolita. I handmake a lot of my stuff so I still get the creativity aspect, and I can switch up the way I wear my dresses so each occasion still feels new to me
>>10905540I don’t wear a lot of costumes, but I would take that sort of thing to a swap meet. I usually don’t even trade stuff there, I give it away when someone wants it.
What are some cosplay stories that you'll remember for the rest of your life?Wholesome: Cosplaying some My Little Penis characters with my then-gf when a little girl started freaking out over how great we looked. She got her dad to take loads of pictures with both of us.Less wholesome: I saw a fur-suiter yelling at his wife.Least wholesome: Walking to the convention center behind my friend's sister in her Sailor Saturn cosplay, on a windy day. She either didn't notice or didn't care that her bare ass was playing aggressive peekaboo with me. Only time I've ever wanted the walk from the hotel to be longer.Sad: I was at Twitchcon when that lady broke her spine.
>>10885624what bpd does to a mf
>>10885813didnt happen
>>10905731"It didn't happen to me so it didn't happen"
Back when I was about 16 or so I went through that phase where I wore cat ears at cons. I wasn't exactly twinkish, but I used to be moderately cute I guess. Since then I've grown a full beard and gone bald. Kept bumping into this geriatric fucker who kept smiling at me and pointing at his seme/uke badge and trying to talk to me. I never heard about him actually molesting anybody or anything so despite being creepy as hell, as time's gone by I've started to feel like it was more a case of "stop it grandpa, time for your meds."Poor weird little fucker is probably dead now...
London MCM some years back. Two girls trying very hard to pull Vic Mignogna at the after party. The girl got so drunk she passed out, he friend tried to help her off the floor while Vic just bailed and left them to it.
Anyone going to this?
>>10905735Considering the conversation I overheard, it was pretty close to the truth. But no worries, they were just doing coke
>>10905741They weren't doing coke they were talking

Huh?
>>10897658...
>>10885919hot
>>10863274Photo shop?
>>10883886damn, she is pretty.
>>10863100from what ive heard, you are correct. Mom, grandma and cousin both said my grandma and the cousin said they had problems at school cause they were quite tall(like 5.10, not like 6ft). Another is that when i was walking with female friends when i was still in school a taller 14 year old girl walked by us and she said how poor she must be and she said iirc "imagine being a girl and so tall at 14" which i still dont understandand this is my personal opinion, women all want to be as big as a child and have a man thats like 7 foot tall, wide, big and that treats them like a princess(and they also are a princess). Was on /a/ recently where i saw a manga about a blonde russian hebe, so that should probably be what i mean. Kinda like how every man wants to look like gigachad.
