Old thread is hitting the image limit >>10715389


This 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.

What makes a good convention party for you? Is it just the free booze? Meeting new people?
Do you remember any fun things you've done at a con party?

My hotel room is going to be the base of operations for some con shenanigans and I want to make sure I can keep people entertained. What do people who've hosted parties small or large have to suggest?

>I usually just commute to my local cons so I never stay late enough to party
Fair enough though you might honestly have better luck (for a number of reasons) at these local ones. I can say that pretty definitively after doing that just this past weekend.

The sex part absolutely does happen but really not that much, at least in the open. I can also say I have made out with people while friends are around and vice versa, it's usually not a big deal. Also are these friends trying to protect or get in the way?
>>
>>10858224
I'm a petite girl and a lightweight, and directionally challenged even when sober, so my friends always keep a strict eye on me. They'd probably call the cops if I ever slipped away without notice at a con in a foreign city haha

But I'd also feel really awkward trying to give them a heads up....

Don't really do the drop in con parties most do cause it isn't really my thing/ they get busted a lot by front desk

>Is it just the free booze? Meeting new people?
Meeting up with friends particularly if i'm the one travelling

>Do you remember any fun things you've done at a con party?
Randomly volunteering for being bartender is always an interesting experience if you find yourself in one with a kitchen/bar, especially if you brought in stuff to make more interesting mixes/drinks

>What do people who've hosted parties small or large have to suggest?
Don't host one out of the back of a uhaul unless you're ready to basically run a con within a con among many other things, pretty fun if you pull it off with the right people though
>>
It's a good kind of party con when you skinnydip on night zero, and that's considered "taking it easy"

>>10855308
>What makes a good convention party for you? Is it just the free booze? Meeting new people?
Just a fun group. I prefer hosting parties over anything.
>Do you remember any fun things you've done at a con party?
Not really. Just a few party games.
>My hotel room is going to be the base of operations for some con shenanigans and I want to make sure I can keep people entertained. What do people who've hosted parties small or large have to suggest?
Always have water, always have ice, always have booze and some type of music. Be polite and invite your neighbors and inform them of parties ahead of time.

Since we're in a bit of a down-season right now, and I've never seen this concept put in a thread before now seems like the right time. What keeps you coming back to cons? Even /cgl/, as slow as it, shows there's a billion possible combinations to explain: "Why?" Some answers, but definitely not all, would be
>Cosplaying
solo, group, admiring, meetups, photography
>What the event itself offers
Guests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room
>The social element
Parties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas
>Hanging out
People watch, the weird experiences only cons can provide, that one time in the year "the gang gets back together"
And of course any reasons I forgot to include are always encouraged. The floor is yours, gulls.

There's a trick I've learnt from other cosplayers, you can wear transparent or skincolor pantyhose beneath it, and either sew the socks to it or glue it, so that they dont fall, hope this helps

For gulls having trouble making accounts, I would recommend making one through Alipay. The QR code log in for Alipay has been a reliable way for me to log in so far, as my main account tied to my number also got auto frozen. YMMV, but it's worth a try.

It's by far the most beloved con in Florida, and the only one I know where people regularly fly in from out of state. You'd definitely best try to make it, since one of the biggest draws is their venue, and you'll never get another chance.

I go to small local cons and have not spotted any coomers or bitchy/mean people. The cosplay quality is a bit low, not many lolitas and no slutty cosplays at all due it being somewhat kid friendly event. Most annoying people are loud young teens. But even then I’m glad we happen to have comfy cons like this here.

because as far as cons go this is pretty much the bottom of bottom cons. It also takes place when other bigger cons happen. So this con is always destined to be a bottom tier con.

That is way out of date. These days the stereotype is rather unkind, where they do softcore, mainly on onlyfans, and left Russia to be able to get that money.

I've been here for over 20 years. Fujos have always been yaoi enjoying women.
A couple years ago it got adopted as a buzzword incorrectly by clueless scrotes to mean females in general.
Now it's being used incorrectly again for gender specials and lesbians.
You're new to the internet if this is what you think that word means.
I've been a fujo since I was 12, writing romantic fanfiction of Sanosuke and Saitou from Rurouni Kenshin. The girls on Tumblr reblogging gifs of Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock and Watson GLANCING at each other are fujos.
Literally google the word fujoshi and see years upon years of definitions showing you that you're misinformed.
>>
>>10857380
fujos are just straight girls whacking it to gay porn.
>>
>>10857380
I will confirm just how true or false this is (it's false) after my Venti costume arrives
>>
>>10857427
anon, most women who enjoy yaoi are lesbians. do you not know what fakebois are? all fakebois are fujos. it's not a misrepresentation of anything, you're just in the minority.
>>
>>10857973
Don't try to backpedal on this >>10855458 to make a desperate connection of lesbians to fujos. Even if your ridiculous generalization was true, it does not excuse the blatant misunderstanding of how Char and himbos would be a prime target for fujos. I still regularly see people fundamentally not understanding the term and parroting it to mean female in general with no context for the yaoi even crossing their mind. I am not surprised that people are now using it for this too.
