Your race, gender, height, or anything else because of your body shouldnt stop you from cosplaying a character. Doesnt matter if youre an asian guy cosplaying King Louis the 14th or a white girl cosplaying Storm.<br>Unless youre a dude cosplaying a girl, then youre a faggot.

Absolute wasted opportunity to be BOSS FRIEREN.

This is one cosplay I can't do as a fair-skinned person. Boss Frieren is dark brown-gray instead of plain gray or another unnatural shade. I really wish a dark-skinned person will cosplay her justice

>>10910511
>not just covering yourself in paint head to toe

also it's not a character. This is like cosplaying Metal Mario or Pink Gold Peach from mario kart

>>10904997
Gonna tell the dark elf I know that she better bring her Rin costume to the next con, now that I also have a Fate cosplay of my own

>>10910530
The 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.

>>10910625
My point is that I do not understand why you would want to see someone cosplay a boring recolor in the first place

>>10910632
because it's legendary

You 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.

>>10910761

Hmmmmm

>>10904993
I prefer the ones that are either pitch black, dark grey, or very dark blue. Such colors give them a mystical and otherworldly appearance while brown or dark brown makes them look like Mexicans or West Africans with pointy ears and Caucasian bone structure and noses.


What do you do with your costume after wearing it?

Anonymous

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...<br>What to you do with your costumes when you are "done" with them?

>>10905540
I honestly can't understand the 1 and done mentality. You put in effort into making something look great, why not run it regularly?

>>10905540
I used to be like you, OP. I learned to keep a few “staple” cosplays that are easy to put on and can be worn during the slow days at a convention. It also probably didn’t help that I used to be a cosidol and would hoard cosplays, but I freed myself from the shackles kek.

Feels like you run into this issue a lot with store-bought cosplays because you don’t really see the work being put into making the costume. If you’re not already, start making your cosplays. It really helps, plus you learn and refine a great skill.

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.

>>10905613
I 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

>>10905540
I 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.

I try to choose cosplays where the majority of the separate pieces could be worn irl as actual clothes, and go into it treating anything which couldn't be worn irl as disposable. This may cause me to use some pieces which are not 100% accurate to the character or to historical accuracy, and my job is then to figure out how to hide those inaccuracies. If I know I would be able to use a part irl if it just didn't have a design or whatever on it, I purposefully make certain parts removable (such as attaching designs on fabric with temporary glue, magnets, temporary paint, etc instead of permanently gluing or sewing them on), or purposefully choose a version of the character (such as "prequel vs sequel", "manga vs anime") which contains less wasteful parts, or I pose the costume ("use the scarf from episode 4 to cover your neck so no one can see your neckline is actually just a normal t-shirt").

I'm a public school teacher so I can't wear too "out there" stuff even in my private life, or I'll get found out and fired because random people take photos of you and send them to your boss and coworkers (schools are damn strict - can't be a ninja or even make a finger gesture of a gun like Vash in Trigun because that "advertises violence"). So I'm mostly doing tame costumes and stuff based off historical clothing.

>>10908447
This! I recycle my pieces for casual cosplay like on weekends and nights out.

sell them on cos marketplace groups,, or let ur friends borrow them or wear them again

>>10905540
Personally, I eat it. I don't like wasting carbohydrates.

>>10905540
I put it away in my closet until it calls to me.

I usually take a large bag, fold the cosplay up, and throw in all the accessories. Then I put all those bags full of cosplays into one of those large plastic tubs. I store the wigs and shoes separately though, because those can sometimes be used for future cosplays. Here and there I pull out an older cosplay to wear again. It’s nice knowing that they’re there if I don’t finish a cosplay in time for a con or if a friend ends up cosplaying from a series, then we can be matchy

I like to work on upgrading my existing cosplays in addition to making new ones. Sometimes I ran out of time to finalize all the fine details, something didn't come in the mail in time, or time has passed and I got a better wig or have improved my crafting skills. When I repeatedly cosplay a character over the years I find I can get dramatically better at makeup, posing, and other details of them that I simply can't nail on a first try.<br>Oftentimes it's just something small, like replacing buttons or adding another accessory, but there are one or two cosplays of mine that I've done a full "ship of Theseus" slow remake on.

>>10912282
Lol I love the ship of Theseus analogy. That’s something I’m in the process of doing with my cosplay of my favorite character

rlly cool! I've been wanting to get into cosplay for a bit. I was thinking about going to Megacon, but uni was getting too busy to plan out, buy stuff and go. Not sure what would be a good con to go to this year.
Len would probably be top 3 cosplays I want to do, think I'd mostly want to do characters I could somewhat reasonably represent (I'm only 5'4).
I'd need to bulk another 10lbs of muscle minimum if I wanted to confidently do someone like Asta (also high on my list).

>>10903571

>>10896820
>>10896823
Looks good anon! Very cute.
If you want to get into leatherwork that'd make better versions of the arm/leg cuffs. But it's hard. You may be better off with a thicker vinyl, just to make them less ripply

Not bad! If the tie is detachable from the shirt, I'd recommend switching it out with an actual yellow necktie (color matched as best as you can) since those are usually better quality than ties that are made to go with cosplay sets.

>>10896820
>>10896823

photoshop

It really really really sucks when you find a cosplayer who is genuinely cute (left) but then photoshops their face into looking like aliens (right)<br>Please please please for the love of god rely less on editing

>>10909856
Both those pics are shooped to hell and back

>>10909857
Yes but the left one looks human and attractive

This is far from the worst I've ever seen, and heavy levels of editing seem to be accepted and normal with Chinese, South Korean and Japanese cosplayers. Although most of the worst examples all seem to come from China.

Also both pictures are almost similar levels of editing, it's the color choices, lenses and wig in the right one that make it seem faker than the left one.

>>10909866
It's really popular to do this for old women even outside of China, because sex with old women is disgusting and they know it's true, so they try to trick you. We need to be vigilant. We're in hell.

>>10909869
Bro at this point I would gladly take it.

>>10909856
Kek all that shoop and she couldn't remove that big ass tag sticking out of her costume?

>>10909861
You just think that because she's showing more skin.

>>10909875
It tastefully covers her armpit.

>>10909869
didn't know shoop works irl too. What a time to be alive.
Also if you can't tell if something is shooped to hell and back you deserve to be disappointed by reality.

>>10909866
On the other hand, there's a tendency for people to overblow how edited Asian cosplayers are on Western media. North-east Asian cosplayers obviously have the superior facial features to match the appearance of typical anime girls, so a big part of that is self comforting/cope from those with Caucasoid features that don't want to believe it. Understandable, since if you ever go to a cosplay event in East Asia, the difference in authenticity is very stark. Some of those cosplayers look literally like an anime girl come to life, something that you will basically never see in the West.

>>10911914
well, looky here if this isn't bait

>>10909883
no it's because she doesn't look like a Grey Alien

Cosplay noob here. I'm looking to make a mask like this. The character is relatively obscure, so I can't just buy one, but I've never done something like this before. From what I've seen paper mache is the go-to, but the horns are what throw me. I'm not sure where I'd even get started with something like that.

Basically, any tips? Is paper mache the way to go? Would this be too difficulty for a beginner, should I give up and go with something else? thanks.

Paper mache is extremely flimsy<br>Either rip the model from the game (this is extremely easy to do in XIV) and 3D print it or use eva foam

Basically what >>10910459 said. But I want to add that sculpting a face like that on foam without previous experience is really hard. The horns are actually the easiest part.

If you want a smooth and symmetric finish, either make a foam pattern or a 3d print. Paper mache or other hand sculpting/molding mediums will likely end up sad and lumpy looking.

>>10910459
>>10910462

Sounds like it'll be too tough for my first time, especially since the con is in a month and I was planning on making 5 for my whole friend group. Thanks for the advice anons, I'll go with something easier and try this again next con.

I'm confused by the pace of this thread.
>rip files
>clean them up
If they're not available online anyways, get some guy from fiver to do it for you. Else, get a hold of the original cosplayer and ask him for files.
>print them
Probably need to be put into parts and reassembled, but doable on all medium2large printers. Check your local maker space if you don't have a 3d printer of your own.
>sand them
>tape
>air brush some gold highlights
Check your local warhammer community if you have an airbrush gun of your own.

For five masks, i'd wager three afternoons, or one good weekend.


What's the longest con travel you've done?

It's quite tense given the danger and being in unfamilar territory but it's fun.

Did this drive almost two years ago. It was, as the kids might say, "kino". It was also agreed I'd split 50% of the drive with another guy and it ended up being more like 75% me, 25% him. I'm undecided if that helped or hindered

Flew to Japan from America. Nothing special. It was part of another trip.

Con Romance General

This is a containment thread for all questions like "how do I get a cosplay gf?" or "how do i hook up at an anime convention"

>required reading
https://wingman.live/blog/how-to-ge<wbr>t-laid-at-an-anime-convention

>I can't get laid IRL. Can I get laid at an anime con?
No. You need the basic competence from IRL

>Thread prompt:
What are your con romance stories? Either victories or defeats

At least you tried for more subtly this time but in all honesty I don't think it's gonna save you either. Hell with it. I'll engage while the chance is still there

Success was taking someone home that went to the same meetup as me. Defeat was getting a date with a 10/10, instant chemistry but still failed for some reason

>>10910863
No to the first, yes to the second

what if ur gay? how do you get twinks to let u succ?

First practice with burro, then move to gato, then you graduate to women. Expert move time.

>manage to get girls to come up to me for photos but they always walk away immediately before i can try to do any small talk

>>10911075
no its not they will hookup with you but if you so much as hint as you have romantic feelings they nope the fuck out

What's the point making friends at a con if you're not in the immediate area? If you're 2+ hours removed from the town it's taking place in, chances are you're not talking to whoever you meet there afterwards unless they give you a discord invite or something.

>>10911085
So you can see them again next year, or maybe you go to visit a con in their area

>>10911085
>What's the point making friends?
Human companionship. Even if you're only buddies in one context it's still nice to meet someone nice. Have you never gone to a foreign country or a new city and made a pal?

>>10911076
I always have my wife as an "assistant." She helps them feel comfortable and usually gets them to sign a contract of rights for the images. Lots of times that leads to us offering paid photo shoots. I'd say 20-25% of the time we fuck team fuck the ones that agree. And we usually only end up paying them like 100 bucks or sometimes only booze and drugs for some good OF content. We hide our faces and bodies so the girls never know who we are.

If you're too ugly to have a femme dyke friend do that for you, I'd say maybe consider actually hiring an assistant. Sometimes that can grow your business.

Is it a good idea to post photos taken from a con on IG to try to get the girl to respond and talk to her? Not a professional photographer just posting simple casual photos taken with phone and no editing

>>10911099
If it’s unedited that’s a good way to get her to block you kek

Quick question: Friend gas cosplay loving wife, did he win?

>>10911103
Maybe. Is it >>10911090?

If he's monogamous, then no. Every woman gets boring. Even the hottest bitch gets on some guy's nerves after 5-10 years of marriage. See Married with Children.

Any con dating/hookup advice for trannies? Since I married in my early 20s I don't have much dating experience, now I'm single, in my 30s and getting back into con life. I'm ftm with botched surgeries (I pass, until you get my clothes off) so frankly I'm scared to hookup with or date people due to all the trans hate horror stories. I figure if I have any chance with someone it'd be at an anime con. I'm outgoing and don't have general social anxiety or problems making friends, I just have anxiety about hookups and dating.

My idea is that as a tranny I probably need to put about 300% effort into my body, personality and costume, and that my best bet at success is if I can find a horny bisexual. I'm not fat and I'll be at the con with some friends.

The only con "romance" I've had, I was an older teen and a guy my age was hitting on me. He was obsessed with some shoujo anime I hadn't seen, and kept telling me he'd never met anyone like me before. I ended up agreeing to go out on a pity date with him, but he immediately took me around to all his favorite places just to introduce me to everyone he knew as his girlfriend. I cut that off fast.

>>10911099
Posting without permission is rude, especially because nowadays your boss can use facial recognition to find your pics across the internet and then fire you for what you're doing in your free time. Most people, especially women, also want their photos edited so they look great.

Also you can use the very act of asking for permission as a conversation opener. "Hi, you looked great during the event and I really enjoyed your cosplay, I took a few photos of you in your costume and am wondering if I could post them to Instagram, you can choose which photos I upload and I can link back to your social media... By the way, I'm going to (next convention) as (character from the same series as this lady), would you be interested in trying to get a group cosplay together?" or some shit. Or you can be less subtle than that, I don't care.

>>10911109
>big percent tranny
Dunno wtf this is.

>>10910874
I found out that if you're a guy and simply just talk to a gay guy a lot right when you meet, never bring up sexuality, and hint that guys have been into you in the past as part of a longer story (as in "...I ended up having to call the police, and it was pretty funny, the detective hit on me..."), even if you never say you're gay or into men, he'll probably end up prepositioning you for sex within an hour or two, and will pass it off as a fun activity you should try instead of anything romantic or like a date. He'll also probably try to ply you with alcohol or marijuana. Happened to me about 4 times in 2 weeks (I used the same story on every one) and some I didn't know were gay beforehand.

>>10911111
isnt posting permission already sort of implied when you ask for a photo and they pose for you? ive seen people post photo dumps of their con weekend and never had issues

>>10911123
I guess so. I'd still ask though.

>>10911107

Just send them a message on OF. If they live near you it's only like 200 for a blowie and 500 for all 3 holes.

I am at a country where hotels aren't nearby convention centers and even the hot girls aren't usually looking for hookups at the convention itselfs (except for the anime ones and often they're minors who deliberately trick others). So, dating and fucking cosplayers isn't exactly easy to find.

As much as i'm a big autist and only recently like a year ago or so i've fixed myself enough to be 'available', I would say... Randomness is a thing. attempts must be soft, specially with the 'everything is sexual assault' these days, card pulled by many cosplayers seeking, merely, attention and fame.

but it's entirely possible. we have to believe or else, we have already lost. attempts must be made, we can't deny ourselves this.

>>10911134

>>10911099
Most people I know look through the conventions tag to see if anyone posted their pictures. You could upload multiple pictures and ask people to comment if they're in any of the pictures so you can tag them. If you didn't get their Instagram at the convention, you could follow them from that. Just make your main target the first image. If they want to be tagged they'll let you know. Sometimes people will recognize them and tag them in the comments

>>10911123
It is. Some people will ask for their Instagram handle for tagging purposes, but I've had cosplayers hand me a business card and ask that I tag them if I do chose to post the photo

>>10910875
Thank you so much, your advice is great. I definitely don’t want to get laughed at for my lack of experience.

>>10911262
I really like the cars photgs and cosplayers have, its cool after the con to go through them and check everyone out

>>10910858
Is IG a must? I feel too old to use zoomer shit.

>>10911282
It pretty much is. Women are way more comfortable handing that out compared to their phone number

>>10911285
People in general are. I met tons of people last con just swapping instas

>>10911282
I thought TikTok was more zoomer shit than IG. Regardless, like everyone said, IG is probably the most common social media that people have

>>10911239
Yes, creepy dudes hit on girls, almost always unsuccessfully. But even if he finds some desperate girls looking to become instafamous, how many of them are willing to fuck the guy, his wife, AND be recorded for onlyfans? Not enough that this would be a regular occurrence

No idea why you're ragging on me about trusting the government when you're willing to believe some guy writing fanfiction on a Tibetan basket weaving forum

>>10911090
Post the OF link or this is fake and gay.

>Cosplay gf
What a pointless thread since 99% of female cosplayers are disgusting lesbians or bi with ugly tatoos all over their body.

>>10911293
>>10911302
 It's okay but not as good. I think it can work if you had a conversation with them already about hanging out during the later hours of the con and are gonna let them know about parties or if you invite them to a cosplay server you're in. Too much like texting though. If they add a bunch of people through discord they might not really remember who you are. Instagram works with messaging because it shows that they've read your message and they can't just ignore it the same way you can with discord. And they'll remember when they interacted with you based on your posts

>>10911293
Discord for talking later
Insta for public tagging and posting someone in a pic you took

>>10911293
IG is better. It carries the plausibility deniability of just looking at pics. The article is right.

What cosplays do girls like and are easy to pull off for manlet?

>wingman.live
kek, the tinder AI recognizes cosplay

>>10911075
>being gay is easymodo
>forgot about gay chubby chasers where most fatties at cons are straight
Gay chubby chasing at anime conventions is the Dark Souls of gay hookups

>>10911324
can you please pick ONE disgusting thing to be into?

>>10911325
Fucking lol, he's been posting about this for NINE YEARS

>>10911326
Jesus Christ gay men are revolting

>>10910858
Holy shit @ parts of that guide advising men to intentionally ply women with alcohol so you can rape them.

Reminder that drunk women can't legally consent and you legit can be charged with rape if you do this.

>>10911355
Yeah, it's really creepy. This is not a place with morals unfortunately.

>>10911355
You're fucking retarded. It doesn't say that all. You can drink without getting drunk and the article suggests having alcohol so you can have a fun party

>>10911355
It's AI generated so of course it's going to miss the finer nuances

That being said, perhaps we could take the opportunity ITT to Redpill everyone how to not ruin their lives chasing weeb puss

>>10911366
>>10911355
The article has entire section on not being creepy and respecting boundaries

>>10911355
>>10911360
>buying a woman a drink is rape
Do foids actually believe this? is this a zoomer thing?

>>10911375
It definitely relates to both, but I'd mostly attribute this to weight

the important question is how do i bag a chick like this:<br>https://www.instagram.com/kaeri.chi<wbr>/

>>10911376
Yep here's the part of the article that pissed off the fat girl in this thread

>>10911377
i need a cosplayt gf EXACTLY like this

>>10910858
>No. You need the basic competence from IRL
Damn...

>>10911403
Don't be fat
Not ugly
A cosplay of a still trending waifu

>>10911282
I mean
I got one and discussed a little bit with a hot cosplay-chick once

Too bad my IG is anonymous, and she lifes a little bit too far away...

>>10911403
What's "it"? Getting laid? getting a bf?

for getting laid go up to a guy and act interested in his cosplay and hobbies and shit and laugh a lot. Have something fun planned and offer to come with him. In any case, get his instagram. If he doesn't come out, message him later that night asking him what he's going

anyway anyone who wants coaching on this topic add maintenancetunnels on Discord

>>10911107
>I'm ftm with botched surgeries (I pass, until you get my clothes off)
Maybe, they weren't such a good idea in the first place...
I guess bi-people might be your option
Or another transperson
No idea what you are into

>>10911076
I have the problem, I don't know what to talk about after the photo...

>>10911107
So you're a dickless, narrow-shouldered, wide-hipped short man?

And you want to hook up with people?

What the fuck were you thinking nigga

>>10910858

saying this as someone who has had probably more than their fair share of sex at conventions, the best thing is not to have sex at the con itself but build the relationship and then date after

anything you do at the con will be rushed or not as private as you want it to be, be someone that they want to meet up with after the convention

>10910858

Top fucking kek. I hope you're a shill for this shitty website and not legitimately spreading it as advice.

>>10911107
>I'm ftm with botched surgeries
you said the same thing twice.

>>10911452
Honestly when I ask people for photos I'm not expecting conversation. It's usually busy and standing in one place blocks the flow of traffic too much. If it's not too busy I think conversation before asking for a picture would be better. Talk about their cosplay and ask questions, then ask for their picture and Instagram

>>10911355
I don't think it says that. I need to have a drink myself in order to even talk to women. Booze cures autism. No one should force booze down anyone's throat, but I need to be drinking to talk with women.

>>10911290
I think my comment got deleted by a jealous janny, but just to be clear I PAY these girls to fuck on camera. Tons of attention seeking sluts in skimpy costumes are willing to take it to the next level for money. This isn't rocket surgery.

Jannies always get mad when I talk about how easy it is to fuck women, especially when my wife is pimping for me. Not sure why. They say it's off topic but I'm posting in an off topic thread.

>>10911504
Yes I understood what your fake story was in the first place, no need to clarify. No one is mad. We just don't need to read some pathetic larp

>>10911506
Is there an OF couple who doesnt bring in wannabe models? Why are you so butthurt about this? Way faker stuff posted on cgl’s front page right now. Says more about you than anything

>>10911507
Stating that I think you're lying isn't being butthurt lol You're the one digging your heels in because some rando on the internet doesn't believe you

>>10911508
it's probably his fetish and he'll get off better thinking someone believes his fanfic.

Not the boomer that was asking about it earlier, but what the fuck do I even post on Instagram? How do people use this site?

>>10911504
Is it prostitution if the man offers money first?

>>10911511
pictures dummy, with appropriate tags

>>10911516
NTA but what do you mean by appropriate tags?

>>10911516
Pictures of what? Myself? My cat? My coffee cup? The wall?

>>10911513
>>10911508
I'm not giving you free pics. Pay for my OF if you can find it. It's pretty obvious since 85% of the third wheelers are in cosplay. I make plenty of money so I'm not looking to get doxxed or fucked up by 4chan, thanks. I'd definitely prefer you think I'm lying than to hunt me down with your internet sleuth autism.

>>10911525
I don't want free pics. I just think you're full of shit. Post the link to your OF. I'll pay .

>>10911521
Pets are good. You in cosplay is good, cool food nature.

>>10911529
Then go look for it. I've had bad experiences posting my shit on /gif/ many years ago. Not gonna get my spot blown up again.

>>10911521
man you need to use the internet more you sound so new to all this

>>10911532
Okay, I'll try.

>>10911534
I don't normally use social media, I just got a Facebook and Instagram this past month. I have a discord but it's not associated with my RL stuff at all.

>>10911478
the article seems like a pretty solid way to make the most of a con tbqh

>>10911533

desu I found your OF and it’s nothing but mid women, I’ve hooked up with hotter without paying for it

some of us prefer quality experiences over volume, enjoy banging cosplay deviant rejects

>>10911575
Quantity has a quality of its own, anon...

>>10911579

yeah and that quality is sti’s, low status women and mediocre lays. If you were halfway decent at it they’d want to fuck again and enjoy your vibes not your money. A hard concept to understand, I’m sure

>>10911584
>low status women
What does this mean?

>>10911583
say you have free HRT at home

>>10911323
>"Your jinx cosplay is right on the button. Are you mentally ill too?"

>>10911619
>>10911620
How drunk are you anon.
It is a funny line that machine wrote.

>>10911575
I've hooked up with hotter women without paying for it too. But I'm making money having threesomes with my wife. I'm totally fine with my life. Are you?

>>10911674

nobody genuinely happy with their lives needs to validate and prove their degenerate lifestyle to anonymous strangers on the internet, it’s fine if you want to bang mediocre lays with your unhappy wife but it’s the validation that betrays you

>>10911590

it’s exactly what you think it means, women intuitively know where they stand in relation to others just like men do

>>10911693
Where we stand? I know people are hotter (I'm not very hot) than others but I don't think someone is a higher status than someone, that's like weird Jordan Peterson crypto fascist crap

>>10911741

do you think money to perform on camera would be a deciding factor for a wealthy person or someone with a curated following

when you go to a convention, do they treat industry and guests like attendees

sure we don’t have titles of nobility and maybe your vote counts the same, but we absolutely have other ways of measuring status in society

>>10911744
>we absolutely have other ways of measuring status in society
We do have classes under our current material conditions. Those classes change and have lessened since the creation of private property. I'm glad I'm an employee instead of a serf or a slave.

But like with women I don't care if she works at dollar tree if we have chemistry. I know not all women feel like that but I have to feel that there's still some.

>>10911692
If you learn to read, and then read the thread you will be shocked to discover some things. 1) i was trying to help some pathetic weirdo get his dick wet with a cosplay thot and 2) wasnt bragging at all. In fact, i used very boring matter of fact language.

Butthurt losers have to blame others for their failures I understand, but this is a bit if an extreme case.

>>10911809

except none of your advice was meaningfully actionable, and the majority of the remaining time your posts are defending a cringe pecadillo

it’s the fact you can’t stay on topic by centering yourself hoping for a crumb of validation that gives it away, it wouldn’t have been that weird if it wasn’t for that, promoting your OF does nothing for the thread lol

make your paper i guess but don’t expect that’s something other people are seeking. not everyone has an underwhelming marriage

>>10911815
Explain why it wasn't actionable. Offering women money for sex is 100% actionable. As proven by my actions. ACTIONABLE. PECADILLO? You breakin out your thesaurus faggot?

>>10911809
If your story was even true, do you not realize you should be the last person giving advice? You can't convince women to sleep with you without paying them

>>10911822
? I'm married? What are you talking about?

>>10911830
Again, I don't believe your larp. But if it were true, your advice for someone meeting women at a con isn't valid because you're paying them, dingus

>>10911843
Not to mention, even putting the paying part aside, getting a third as a couple is completely different and in my experience much easier (never actually did it but my ex and I got plenty of offers) than hooking up as a single guy.

>>10911843
? I met my wife before I married her?

>>10911856
Do you have to pay her every time too?

>>10911863
No. Wouldn't be my wife if that were the case? What's confusing you here?

>>10911866
You're the one that's been lost in this conversation, bud

>>10911868
I'd like to hear a summary from your perspective.

>>10911870
Us: Your advice isn't useful
You: I have a wife
Us: Yes, but for the women at conventions, which this THREAD IS ABOUT, your advice isn't useful
You: I have a wife

>>10911821

the original prompt for the thread was “What are your con romance stories? Either victories or defeats” and all you mentioned was how to stage a discount brand backroom casting couch scenario lol

imagine being mad at words, your wife must do a lot of emotional labor to support living with such a child that needs to fuck other mid women to keep it interesting

>>10911874

>thread: ”What are your con romance stories? Either victories or defeats”
>MY WIFE

>>10911882
where is the romance story huh huh??

stop derailing the fucking thread

Here's a story
>Dressed as legoshi at small con
>in line for a drink in 18+ area
>girl in generic anime maid OC talks to me and identifies my costume
>she's clearly flirting
>we hang out and drink all night, meet some people have fun
>go back to my place
Sometime's it's just having the right costume in the right place at the right time

>>10911375
No. Having sex with a drunk woman is rape, as defined by US law. Even more so if you are intentionally getting her drunk so she will have sex with you, because she would not have consented when sober. It's something you should avoid risking at all costs.

>>10912017
i've never been approached by a woman in my life so i doubt any cosplay is going to fix that
>inb4 just lift, get a haircut, etc
already did all that

>>10910858
>What are your con romance stories? Either victories or defeats
I was talking with a female cosplayer at an afterparty a little bit once
Closest I ever get...

>>10911874
My wife attends conventions. I met her at conventions. I also fuck women at conventions who aren't my wife.

I still don't get why my advice isn't valuable. You haven't explained why you're dismissing my advice based on the source.

>>10912718
A better fate than most of these threads can hope for

>>10912718
jannies don't want concels to get laid simple as


>cosplay as Big Boss
>have a vivid nightmare about global nuclear warfare and mutual annihilation the night I come back from the con
Wtf bros, idk if I should be scared or amused

It's a vision and if you don't stay an extra day the world is going to end

>>10911278
You have to become the legendary warrior to prevent that anon.

I miss CoF threads!

>>10911401
Oh I love this. I love knitted headdresses

damn son, this is a very bad cof thread 2bh, do better

>>10911545
Ok, what are your suggestions? Just saying "do better" alone doesn't help

>>10911443
>that hoarder room and filthy mirror
Why do people post pics like this?

>>10911594
Nayrt, but people want you to curate more. Instead of dumping everything (or most) that is posted to COF here, only post the good outfits.

>>10911594
>>10911545
here
pretty much what
>>10911680
said

all in all, have higher standards, refined taste
and don't get me wrong, I appreciate your contributions and intention, it's just that the content is, overall, pretty bad

>>10911683
I always thought cof threads were just borderline gossip threads, not threads to show only the best outfits

>>10911680
That's not how cof threads work...

>>10911594
Don't mind it anon. There's someone saying the same thing to any and all Lolita threads made here

>>10911441
Don't dig the hair (I couldn't pull it off) but the overall coord is pretty cute. Feel like I could wear it home to stay cozy

>>10911711
nayrt, but in the past there have always been commenters saying "this isn't the ita thread, don't post shitty coords" whenever someone posted bad coords. There were also people who said that they measured how well they were doing by looking at whether they got posted to the ita thread or the COF thread. COF threads have also devolved into gossip threads. COF threads have also been started by people who nobody likes, who just want attention for their bad/mediocre coords. So it's been a mix of things really.

>>10911714
What's your problem with some standards being applied to what gets posted to the COF threads?
There have always been commenters saying "this isn't the ita thread, don't post shitty coords" whenever someone posted bad coords.

>>10911719
Nayrt but I made a number of COF threads in the past and it was always about having the coords from the group being posted without much criterion.
People just didn't have Facebook accounts and wanted to see whatever was being posted there. Selecting only the best kinda defeats that purpose imho
(and the thread would end up being empty anyway)

ITT: dumb ass newfags coming to a board to create rules for threads that no body cares about

this board died 10 years ago, stop whining about people posting content

>>10911721
If that's how OP want to conduct it, I don't care. But a thread with everything being posted and commented on is much more entertaining than having selected pictures that OP thinks is nice and everyone else just tearing that person apart.

We usually have those "favourite coords" thread and it's always a shit show... Without standards at least we won't have to fight over someone else's choices.

>>10911680
nayrt, the problem with "curated" cof threads is that inevitably some uggo with a nice coord will be posted, then dogpiled and accused of self-posting for the crime of having a butterface. then the thread devolves into 'sticker test' retardation. we just can't have nice things on /cgl/.

>>10911724
>>10911725
Those are good reasons. I'm not overly invested, I was just really curious to hear the reasoning.

How about a compromise?: since we already have an ita thread, just post everything (including awkward beginners outfits, mediocre coords, mildly bad coords) except for actual ita level coords to the COF thread?
If it's still a "no" to avoid unnecessary derailment and discussions I understand.

>>10911726
nta but the entire point of these threads is so we can sort the posts ourselves, and for anons who aren't in cof. itas get reposted to ita threads and anons who don't have cof save the coords they like.

>>10911726
IDK how to tell you this, but this is an anonymous image board. People can post basically whatever the fuck they want any of the time. If you want a specific type of thread, you have the make it

>>10911779
I see no point in having itas in both the COF thread and the ita thread, that's all.

OP here, thank you all for your feedback.

Ultimately my goal with reposting coords from CoF is to generate discussion about the coords themselves rather than discussion about what may or may not belong in a CoF thread.

If some people want a "better, higher quality" CoF thread they are more than welcome to create their own curated CoF threads.

Personally, I'd prefer not to pick and choose "quality" coords just to have thread discussion devolve into what does or doesn't belong here. If I do another CoF thread, I will do the same thing again and just post whatever I see in chronological order.

>>10911788
OP you're completely correct, not everyone is on fb and that was the point of these threads. fb also doesn't allow the same commentary as here. reddit-tier discourse. thanks for posting content.

>>10911788
roger roger, won't complain about quality on cof threads anymore

>>10911818
Yup, same here. Good points were made, lesson learned.

>>10911402
I really love this, those colors

>>10911903
but it's so nice when nonnas are goofy like this. Lighten up~

>>10911396
>>10911408
how do people get salopettes look good? no hate to these girls but it seems like it's super hard to wear them in a flattering way

>>10912047
is salopette another way of saying jumperskirt?

>>10912047
>how do people get salopettes look good?
Be very short and skinny with a small frame and minimal bust, otherwise they don't hang properly and look frumpy. Unlike regular lolita dress cuts, salopettes have a completely straight/flat torso and mini-skirt so they are unforgiving of any curves and only fit right on very petite girls.

Man I was really liking the wholesomeness of people just posting cords whether they sucked or not but you faggots ruined it

>>10912054
here's an article with some examples

salopette is just the japanese word for overalls. it comes from the french word for overalls. in lolita and other jfash it's just a skirt with straps without a full bodice. i don't know why lolitas make it so confusing.

>>10911397
>thrifted
She thrifted a new MmM JSK?

>>10912497
Buying second hand is the same as thrifting depending on your language.

>>10912516
No it isn't, she's virtue signaling. Buying secondhand in the lolita community has a totally different connotation.

>>10911397
goddamn the rose cross rerelease looks like shit

>>10912497
>>10912516
nayrt, I know it's a language thing but it grinds my gears when someone calls buying from the 2nd hand lolita market "thrifting".

>>10912535
nayrt but for most people thrifting has very different connotations that buying some dress on closet child for 300$ for example.
Thrifting isn't synonymous with second hand shopping. For most people thrifting means visiting thrift stores, which are second hand stores that sell a variety of goods second hand at very low prices. There are second hand shops that specialize in luxury brand items, and these would not be included in most people's definition of thrifting because of the price.

>>10912545
exactly, a thrift store and a vintage store are two different things. when somebody pays 1k for their dream dress, that's not thrifting. when somebody pays retail for a used AP print, that's not thrifting. thrifting is when you get a Michael Kors sweater with a hole in it at Goodwill for 5.99

>>10912548
exactly. This is why I think it's so weird when someone calls it thrifting if they're buying from the second hand lolita market.

>>10912545
>>10912548
You two fail to understand what that anon has implied since the beginning: "to thrift" and "to buy second-hand" are synonymous in other languages.

The person in the picture is clearly an ESL and is using the wrong term because she is translating it from her language. It's not virtue signalling as the other anon has pointed out, rather it's a case of mistranslation.

No one is arguing over actual semantics.

in any way, don't waste your time trying to argue with people on the internet like I'm doing right now. Contribute to the thread instead.

>>10911436
this is adorable, ik the star petti is considered an ita staple but it actually fits the theme here and i appreciate the creativity

>>10912558
just trying to appreciate the effort op put into designing and making original dresses, if you hate them that's fine but you could at least say what u don't like and actually contribute to thread discussion. peace and love <3

yeah i agree, i normally don't like it but this is the one time i've seen it work well bc it fits the theme and she has the same/very similar trim on the collar


whats male equivalent of cosplay like this?

Shirtless Goku, shirtless anyone if they’re hot.

>>10911656
so its about being hot? how do i get hotter? would helltaker cosplay (suit and glasses, rolled sleeves) bump me up?

>>10911664
Just because you're dressing up as a harem protag, it doesn't mean that girls will actually flock to you, especially if you give off desperate creep vibes.

>>10911664
it has always been about being hot.

>>10911733
Thanks for the kek. Can’t wait for the new game next year


Acne

Does visible acne (maybe even with no attempt to cover it) ruin a person's cosplay for you? How much does it bother you compared to other commonly-complained-about accuracy dealbreakers in cosplay like obeseness/scrawniness, height, wildly inaccurate races, etc?

>>10912456
It makes everyone look terrible, yeah it'll ruin any cosplay

>>10912456
Acne I can ignore because depending on body chemistry it’s not always preventable. Those chapped fucking lips on the other hand are very preventable

>>10912456
It honestly depends on the one's acne, but if all if his or her face is a fucking covered in landmines, It's bad.

The right makeup can cover acne pretty well. But idealy you should do something to clear it up. Spend the months leading up to con season to take care of it.

>>10912456
I'm not bothered by height or race. However anything that makes someone look unhealthy or like a cheap whore kills it for me.

Acne makes me feel sad for the person because I remember being a teen and researching desperately for how to stop acne, and all anything I could find said was "it's just genetics" and "cover it with some cream" bullcrap. You really have to stop eating anything containing cooking oils, among other things. Unlike an obese lady choosing to go to a con in a bikini, absolutely no one wants acne, so I feel like anyone who has it just hasn't been told how to stop it.


How would i do a homemade Hyakkimaru cosplay? i figured just buying the robe but that itself is really expensive for some reason and all of them are from China so the sizes are going to be off

Where can i get a cheap black kimono from?

>>10911037
>Cheap
Go to any BJJ/Karate shop and buy a Gi and tatter it up.
The patches can be stitched on or by masks/dyes

You sure? This one is only $23 and goes up to size XL: https://www.cosplayc.shop/sale/anim<wbr>e-dororo-hyakkimaru-outfits-cosplay<wbr>-costume-online-now/

I'd google for free yukata sewing patterns or search "Japanese bath robe" "martial arts uniform" etc. You might try Mercari or other used goods sites. If you care about how it looks, get a Japanese one, China makes a lot of pseudo-Japanese stuff but it always looks off.

>>10911128
Also depending on the material the garment is, and what type of dye you use, you can buy any color and just dye it black.

>>10911128
>You sure? This one is only $23 and goes up to size XL: https://www.cosplayc.shop/sale/anim<wbr>e-dororo-hyakkimaru-outfits-cosplay<wbr>-costume-online-now/
I ordered this one back in December and its really low quality and small on me since its from China even tho its my size

I was looking at this https://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Loom-W<wbr>affle-Kimono-RobeBathrobe/dp/B0CX24<wbr>F7ZJ and wondering get this and maybe get white felt and draw the anchors and stitch it on the robe. DIY style


Realistic vs Cartoonistic

Which do you prefer
>Looking as close to the source material as possible, even if that means a lack of details or lack of realism in the clothing/hair.
>A realistic version of the cosplay, how it would have been if the char were a real-life person, even if there are details to the cosplay not supported by canon

>>10912673
Whatever appeals to the eye more IRL.

So people doing stupid ass thinge like fucking up their eyebrows to match a cartoon tends to look 100x uglier than leaving them mostly alone.


Cartoons vs Anime

Excluding the superhero and scifi genres (which seem to be their own crazy things), does cosplay of Western or heavily America/Europe-inspired series attract a better or worse level of cosplay than typical anime?


Miku cosplay


ProxyPoison_Cosp

What do yall think of her? honestly i love her so much, she reminds me of belle delphine a bit. i think of buying her patreon but idk if it's worth it, like tell me what you think

she looks like belle but i dunno if it's a flex to look like a child bait for pdf's

>>10912887
>look like a child
Even she claims that she looks like a child and calls her fans pedophiles but all I see is an emaciated 20yo-proportioned woman.

>pdf's
You can say pedophiles without being demonetized here. Not that the mods here aren't pedo groomers like in other platforms. They're just negligentful and won't ban you unless you insult their posse or they hate your show.
