/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

News of my Japanese work visa being processed can come any day now and ever since going to a con last month and reinvigorating my love for cosplaying, I’m not ready to leave. I realized if I just got a regular job in the States I’d be able to go to cons and be a “con person” which is always something I wanted to be, but never was due to college and no friends to count on rooming with. I have no good photos of any of my cosplays, even though I’ve been doing it for a decade, and while I just had my first Photoshoot last month, things were rushed and I’d like to redo almost the entire thing for the second time. I won’t be able to cosplay in Japan. I don’t know if roaming photographers even exist outside anime events, and if they do, they’d have to be not-quite-conversational friendly. I’m thinking I’ll pack one costume for Halloween at least. But I’m gonna miss it bad and I’m afraid I’ll age out of conventions while I’m away or something.
I just spent a lot of time and a decent amount of money making these costumes and barely have anything to show for it, I want to wear them in a totally perfected state, but I won’t be able to for at least a year. Plus I’m worried I’ll look too old for the characters by the time I come back.
In addition to being a con person with a normal job in the States in my alternate timeline, I’m also potentially finding a childless husband while I’m still decently good looking and fertile. I can do this in Japan and when I get back, but it’s just significantly harder, that’s all.

TLDR racing against time is ass
