>>6668779 I was cosplaying Bridget and several times I got confused with...fuck, I forgot her name... But it's this one nun-looking chick...she uses guns or something... I just looked her up to see who it was and...I don't even know how people thought I was her...
>>6668801 hah, yeah my Bf went as an Atlantian warrior so we had fun, definitely going to pull them out again for southern cons though, maybe see you then?
>>6668779 >tfw every Kaori Yuki character you do gets mistaken for Kuroshitsuji I can understand Cain Saga to an extent, but how the fuck do you mistake Sara for Elizabeth?
>>6668859 I can see the resemblance...they both have blue, have those...veil things and blonde hair. But it's a bit hard to accept when you're walking around carrying a teddy bear and a giant cuff around your waist.
>that feel when the motivation fairy comes and suddenly want to do everything and you know how to do everything due to you slipping into a fortunate state of drug-induced hysteria >that feel when you are sick as a dog and stuck in bed doped up on a cocktail of cough medicines and what-have-you and can't do shit
>>6669197 I had that happen to me. There was an 10 year age difference though, and he was my teacher then. We broke it off because of the age/life thing. His wife is fucking awesome to hang with though.
>>6669232 aww man, I hate people like this. Just made a ballgown (I think vocaloid) for commission; good price too because I coupon (and work at Joann's) made it for about $100. Dress, hoop skirt and jewelry. "Omigod that's too expensive I can't pay!!!"
>commission prop from someone famous in the community >person pretty much never speaks to me again about it even after multiple emails to them >tfw it's been months and you can't reverse the payment
>>6669275 Maybe rather than 'calling them out' and people ignoring them because this person is famous, you could make a lot of posts about how excited you are about the prop and link/hashtag them in to it. People might be excited too, whores love to do stuff when it's getting them positive attention. Then spam them some more emails. At that point, you can then call them out. With screencaps of commission and payment.
>>6669119 Eventually got to know my machine well enough to chose the correct bobbins, but for awhile I was tearing my hair out every time I sat down to sew.
>>6668944 I know that feel, man, I fucking know. There was a con I missed recently, and I heard there were 2 actual males cosplaying my husbando. Look up pictures. Both were shit.
>Tfw you get roped into a group the week before con, end up taking in size 8 costume to a size 4 with glue, fake a hairline with wig lace and glue in the hotel room, go to the shoot with it still wet, and still aren't the shittiest looking one in the group.
>>6669361 Takuto Tsunashi, ie. Galactic Pretty Boy or Ginga Bishounen, from Star Driver. Any name will give you loads of results, but none are good enough.
>>6669357 Thankfully my husbando will probably not be popular amongst cosplayers ever and we can live in peace knowing the only 3D that has touch him are skinny asians making laughable attempts at being masculine.
>>6669479 I never buy or eat at cons but I love pretending I want to buy shit. Act like you have too much money even bother spending at their stalls and you'll have a good time.
>tfw you promise to help your buddy pull off his first cosplay >tfw it's a big and rather complicated cosplay >tfw no one sells it so you have to make it
>tfw you have two groups of friends going to the same con >tfw they want you to be a part of their group as a key character >tfw they want nothing to do with each other >tfw you know it will come down to "us or them" and you may risk losing some friends >tfw why cant we all get along?
>tfw a "friend" goes on a tirade about how she hates our entire generation because a few people were criticizing her and apparently that counts as 'trolling' >tfw painting an entire generation as shit because a few people said things she didn't like >tfw she is actually the shitty, oversensitive one >MFW people actually agree with this irrational, angsty, passive aggressive bullshit
>see someone cosplaying the same character as you >you look better, but whatever, try to approach them with good honest intentions >mfw they just walk away totally blowing you off
>>6669633 Oh god...this happened at the last con I went to. I got a ride back home to get it but... I would have rather not forgotten the damn stuff in the first place.
>>6669639 >tfw someone you hate and has a history of creepering on you and invading your personal space in general is at a con and you accidentally make eye contact with them
One time my friend shaved her vagina in the hotel shower, and by the length of the thick black hairs all over the shower floor/walls it looked like it was the first time she had in months.
>>6669639 >tfw that one awful weeb from your high school who thought she was your bestest friend ever (we all had one, you know who I'm talking about) is there and doesn't recognize you because you're in cosplay >tfw her boyfriend does recognize you and warns you in advance of where she'll be and how you can avoid her
For some reason, her boyfriend also hated her but couldn't break up with her. Oh well, wasn't willing to get close enough to figure that relationship out.

>>6669633 this. I forgot Boris' ears, hat and boots once. I remembered right as I was pulling in to Seattle and I was so furious. Came home after the con and they were RIGHT THERE BY THE DOOR. How I missed them, I don't know.
>Tfw you walk around the con with non-cosplaying friends and people keep stopping you to ask for pictures >Tfw your friends are getting annoyed but at the same time you're so happy you're being photographed
>>6669757 The company is nice enough, my boss can be an idiot. But that's everybody's boss.
Also the Roadway inn near the airport looks like it's out of a horror movie. At least it had free wifi.

>>6669756 Yeah, I've brought all of him since then. That incident scarred me into triple checking all of my stuff prior to leaving. I make a lot of lists and unpack and repack my bags a lot now. so far, it hasn't happened again.
I felt like such an idiot for forgetting so many crucial pieces though.
>>6669633 >first time wearing Kotetsu >go to adjust the pearl on the actual knot of the tie >it comes off >FUCK WHY DID I TOUCH IT >can't get it back on >have to wear it as is >hating self because of fucking up a small detail like this
>>6669975 Reactions I've had in that particular theme: >"I thought you'd be taller." >"Your photos make you look so much taller than you are! You're really quite stumpy, huh?" >"I had no idea you were this short, when did you stop growing?" >"Do you wear heels a lot? Your photos make you look so tall!"
... and so on. The thing that baffles me is that the photos I take aren't at odd angles and there are usually doors/furniture/other people to give scale reference.
>>6669721 >tfw a group of people ask for a photo even thought they don't know what your cosplaying >tfw they are really nice ask start asking you about your character >tfw you have now made a new fan for the series you're coaplaying from
>>That feel when you spend months on your costume and half a grand. Only to get all the attention draw away because the other guy bought a 4 grand version of the costume.
>tfw one of your non con going friends wants you to bring her to her first con, but you know that she's not the type of person you would want to go to a con with, and you dont know how to tell her no.
>>6670772 tfw you have someone willing to do the duos with you, and she is super nice and fun to be around, but is a massive landwhale and you don't have the heart to tell her why you don't want to cosplay with her
>>6668971 >tfw your friends want to do an evee evolution group >tfw all the evees are taken >okay.jpeg >Month later and new evee is out!! >TFW ''HEY GUYS LOOK I CAN DO THAT ONE! IT LOOKS LIKE A LOLITA TOO, I'M A LOLITA ISN'T THIS GREAT?' >'Oh.. actually we're all fighing over that one' >tfw endless tears of spaghtti >tfw two members of the group always drop out anyway
>>6670799 It's actually really easy to convince landwhales to cosplay from their body type if they know they're fat and not ashamed of it. The only time you have to be careful is if they're really insecure about it, or if they're deluded (of course).
>tfw a friend wants to cosplay a character that you also want to cosplay, but she wouldn't suit the character that much and you feel bad when thinking this because it makes you sound like a jealous bitch
>>6670875 I've got a buddy who, though he is by no means a landwhale, he is still overweight. He's actually very aware of this and is working on losing weight, but in the meantime he was planning some cosplays and he made sure to choose characters that had long, loose robes or were fat themselves.
>tfw he's going as Kikuchiyo to match my Heihachi for Kumoricon and we're super stoked
>tfw reviewing multiple photoshoot invites from various cosplay groups as you see to be the only person cosplaying a missing character from well known series
>tfw your mom wants to help you cosplay but keeps saying stuff like, "don't make that shirt, you can borrow one I have. Sure, the front is a little different and it's red and not orange, but close enough, right?"
>tfw cosplaying from a somewhat unpopular series and someone from the same one approaches you, but you're so surprised that you forget their character's name I am so fucking stupid. Of course I could recall it at any other time too...
>>6671539 Jesus Christ this. I feel like a total jackass when this happens. You've been in a convention hall walking around all day, probably some odd combination of tired, hungry, and excited all at once and suddenly your coolness depends on you recalling a snippet of information from a Japanese cartoon you watched at 2 AM a year and a half ago.
>>6671539 >tfw this, only they aren't in cosplay and they call out the name of your character and you've been approached so little you forgot that you were even being a character.
Good god did that make me feel stupid. The guy seemed excited to see Mask De Smith and my awkward reaction probably made him think I don't even like Killer 7.
>>6671570 >tfw you slaved hours on a cosplay and you're costume is better, but everyone surrounds the asian with the milanoo bought wrinkly costume and swarms her for pictures and you are asked to step aside so they can get pictures of her
>>6671589 OP here. Why is it that morons like you always have to shit up beautiful threads with this grammar-nazi bullshit that makes you look like a 15-year-old?
>>6669591 >you look better, but whatever, try to approach them with good honest intentions They probably smelled your pretentious cunt from 20 years away. Maybe they didn't want to be "graced" with your presence.
>>6669991 >>6669975 Wow i'm sorry, I always said it as a compliment. I'm only 5'6 but I wish I was short, short girls are so cute, their boyfriend can carry them around and pick them up, plus they look good in almost everything, Where I grew up I was the tallest chick and the whitest, everyone else was 4'8 - 5'4 cute latina chicks. Feels bad man.
>cosplaying (well) from favorite, slightly obscure series >don't expect to see anyone else cosplaying from it because it's past its popularity >see a couple of cosplays from it and try to approach them
>>6670788 >tfw you find out your best friend is an anime fan and try to take them to a convention >they keep refusing for vague reasons because they don't know what cons are like >how the fuck do I get you to say yes
>>6671720 ah, so you must have been the one to walk away it happens, bro. not everyone in a better costume than yours wants to look down at you; take that into consideration before being a bitter cunt.
>tfw your friend is being a jealous douchebag because your cosplay is more popular than his and all you are doing is being humble and not letting pride get to your head unlike he is.
>>6671836 I did! I swarmed her with photos from my last convention, I told her about events and stuff, I showed her merchandise from the series she likes, etc. She kept saying she was scared.
>>6671838 I wasn't but I know your type, thinking you're superior so you might as well greet the plebs with kindness and dignity like the princess you are right? They could've been busy or stressed, you don't know them or their schedule so chill.
>>6671856 Maybe they have social anxiety? I know I do, have hid it from my friends for over 10 years. I get some nasty diarrhea from being around too many people, and when it comes I'll shit in my damn backpack if I need to as long as no one suspects a thing and I don't ruin my costume..
>"friend" deliberately seeks out people cosplaying the same character as her >has her picture taken with them >makes nasty comments to me about how her cosplay is "so much better" and how the other girls are clearly "SOOOOO BITTER" when none of them seemed to give a shit
Nothing wrong with taking pride in your cosplay, but goddamn, no need to be a cunt about it.
>>6671953 You know my type? Oh, so you know that they were the only other person cosplaying from my fandom there and that maybe I could make a friend and that's why I even thought about approaching them? Saying shit like that after accusing me of not knowing them or their schedule kinda throws you out the window, sandy cunt.
>>6671976 Maybe you should read >>6671968 because that's how you came across in your first post. Reread your post, really, maybe you aren't a stuck up i'm-better-than-you type of person but that is how you came across. If you are a genuine nice person in real life and wanted nothing more than to converse with people who had uglier costumes than you, great, I hope I am mistake.
>mfw a tripfag cosplays from the sames in-game race and spins it into a genderbent (because females only) >mfw you're sure this only only happened because you mentioned it to him the same con the year before >he never once mentioned the game before >no reaction img
>Tfw rooming with someone you've just met in person for the first time. >Tfw walk into the room, and they're already in there with several unknown, uninvited friends.
>>6671768 ;_; I know that feel gurl, short girls can wear heels or other things to look taller but we can't do much I'd swap having longer legs for being shorter in a heartbeat if I could
>That feel when can't find anyone to room with. >That feel when you finally do you still don't have enough people for the room. >That feel when the other people said they would think about it never get back to you and everytime you ask them about it on skype, text they pretty much just ignore you. >When they do they just say I HAVE NO IDEA STILL!
