/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>9951976
Sounds fun OP. No ragrats here.

>>9951976
that sounds annoying..
i don’t quite regret it but when i cosplayed an inkling a few years ago i got asked many times “are you a kid or a squid”

I regret cosplaying Princess Nausicaä because everyone thought I was Italy from Hetalia. I've never even watched Hetalia.

>>9951976
cosplaying Sans from Undertale and getting glomped, "gib me bad time xD" 'ed,... over and over. Friend was Chara and had similar treatment. I love and hate this fandom at the same time desu.
Why the fuck do girls even wanna bone him?
Me and my bud had a good laugh at half of the girls going "oh" once they heard i wasn't a dude.

I like the costume itself, but when I cosplayed Vileplume, people kept slapping the flower hat I was wearing. Someone hit it pretty hard in the back and it's bad enough it was heavy so I couldn't quickly turn around and tell them to piss off. I went home with a headache and one of the petals got a rip.

>>9951976
Friend and I cosplayed the Handmaid and the Condesce. It was a good time but jesus christ those horns were heavy and painful (not helped by wig weight). I had a splitting headache by the end of the day.

Back in 2011 when No.6 began airing me and a friend decided to cosplay Shion and Nezumi, at that point only two episodes had come out.
The series turned into a trainwreck, but we had already finished our costumes. We wore them in a con and were ashamed the whole time because the anime had been so shit. Also everyone who recognised us were greasy landwhales and hambeasts who screamed about us being a cute yaoi-couple.

At least I learnt not to cosplay from anime that's currently airing. I did read the No.6 novels later on and they were great, the anime was just absolute shit.

.....I cosplayed the Once-ler. I’m still trying to track down and burn any existing photos.

i cosplayed the prince from katamari a few years ago. Nothing wrong with the cosplay or character but i regretted my choice once i got to the con because kept smacking people with my giant head and it was kind of difficult to see where i was going.

>>9952155
But....but there’s so many differences.....I know that fandom’s not the brightest but how would you even mistake these two for one another unless you think ‘bluish clothes, brown hair, same character’

I have only ever cosplayed from Hetalia, thus I regret almost everything

Cosplaying Hannah Anafeloz. I've had Alois cosplayers that I didn't knew and that were younger or at least 4 inches shorter than me trying to "be in-character" and treat me like a maid, pull on my wig or try to poke my eye out in disguise of taking a picture together.
Fucking weebs man. I just wanted to talk about the show.

>>9952342
People mix up and mistake one cosplay for another all the time, no matter how obvious it may or may not be. We've had whole threads about this in the past, actually.

>>9952336
i also cosplayed a katamari cousin once, my problem was that i couldn't breathe, didn't make any proper ventilation areas lmao

>>9951976
>2009
>come to terms with the fact I'm pretty androgynous
>get into crossplay
>crossplay Itachi to the local anime club

>no one fucking believes me
>squeals, glomps, get told i'm "smexy"
>oh god no
>two hambeasts grab my arms and nearly tear them off fighting over me
>never crossplayed since

>go as ryu
>tons of blue collar middle aged men and young delinquents shout "HADOUKEN" at me while on the streets


i hate it

2b. I was cosplaying her for the first time and every gross looking dude was looking down the hole part of the dress. It was either because i had no tits or they were trying to look at my nips since no bra. Another one is shiro from ngnl. That cosplay looked so gross i would actually kill myself

>>9952391
Is this why it's so hard to find decent ftm crossplayers?

>>9952400
You brought joy to their day and they interacted with you in a relatively appreciative but inoffensive way

>>9952332
I don't agree

I used to cosplay a lot of sports anime. And I’m admittably a fujoshi. I don’t regret that necessarily, but one time I did a maid-version of Arakita from yowapeda. Actually, we had a whole group of us doing maid versions of the boys

Now when I see cosplays like that I find it really cringey. I’m super embarrassed I was ever that awful of a fujoshi

My friend convinced me to do these Lolita versions of two characters with her. I'm a pushover so I bought it, it's super ita and cringey. I've been putting off taking photos and wearing it. But she's starting to get more and more pushy about the photos

>>9952347
Haha what? Seriously? Fucking pieces of shit

MLP characters. The only people interested in photos and talking to me were 20-40 something neckbeards. I was naive about toxic fandoms back then, but now I feel nauseous thinking about how I dressed up as some virgin's fap material.

>>9952682
God same. When I was 16 I cosplayed Pinkie, sat by the pool at a con waiting for my boyfriend.
This is when “Shadow” approached me. Some lanky creep in bad armor and eyeliner. Kept telling me how cute I was and how I was his favorite pony. Wouldn’t leave me alone and kept asking for my number.
Finally get away from him, but after the con he found me on facebook and kept spamming me, leaving creepy messages. Which his FB was filled with MLP porn.
Tried telling him I had a boyfriend to get him to back off but instead he just threatened to kill him.
Finally blocked him, and stopped cosplaying MLP. And he hasn’t bothered me since. But it was still an uncomfortable experience.
I still see him at cons being a creep, but he thankfully doesn’t recognize me anymore.

My friend did Joseph from Dream Daddy after it had just came out. We went to a meet up and because he's good at being in character- every teen who ran up decided to be a dick to him claiming they were in character too. Like down right mean shit too.

>>9952332
I went in expecting a bioterrorist conspiracy and all I got was a passive-aggressive homofest.

>>9952693
That's insane. Thinking he could kill someone.
I met a creep when I first cosplayed Twilight Sparkle. I tried to get away from him but unfortunately he was in another fandom I was and now we have 30+ mutuals. He tried hitting on me and I said I was a lesbian. I got a boyfriend about a year later and autist brony was butthurt that I lied to him.

>>9952682
I had the same experience, but with Sailor Chibiusa. I was touched/embraced/admirede by a LOT of awkward men, including a guy in a bad suit and opera mask. He asked for a photo, then leaned in and said "do you know who I am? you can call me daddy"

>>9952400
You're no fun. Should shout shoryuken and do a jumping punch in the air, would make their day.

Spain and Prussia - Hetalia and Rose - Homestuck. These fandoms showed me how cancerous fandoms spread and how shitty people can manifest before you. As Spain and Prussia, I was always screamed at by rabid fangirls to do something yaoi related with any random country. I kept pissing them off by asking my friends (who cosplayed several female countries) to stay with me. I actually got booed at by some of the fangirls or had colorful insults thrown my way. As Rose, I saw some of the worst of the worst. I had my lunch taken from me as I was eating at a table with friends to wind down because I told a few people that I would take pictures with them after I was done eating. My lunch ended up in a random bucket. I was yanked around a lot to do shipping pics or to take part in stupid fandom crap. I did not and the crazy fans were soooo offended that I refused to stoop to the level of their stupidity.

>>9952160
Only half?
>>>/u/

Can visual kei count, since I pretty much only wore it to cons/events? I have all of my photos because honestly I looked okay (for what it was), but god, showing them to anyone who wasn't fully invested in that genre back in the day is so painfully cringe, especially trying to explain it. I wish I at least was a basic punk or goth or something more understandable. Gothic lolita would've been extra nice.

I also feel a little ashamed about wearing my ultra-feminine/"sexualized"/female version costumes because of overhearing girls criticizing me. I know it has a stigma but let me keep being a female even if I want to cosplay men.

A hetalia group focused on a fan-idea/design. When I finished it, find out that no one is going through with it. Wtf mate. Never got to wear it and tossed it to goodwill.

Cosplayed from Haikyuu. I didn’t like how I looked as the character so I never worn again.

>>9952695
I cosplay as Mary and I had people telling me to stop being an alcaholic slut and just love Joseph. Like holy shit. I hate when people try to be “in character” and just end up insulting you. I at least had some really nice encounters as well.

>>9952998
I was so glad to be Amanda after watching all these teens trying to hit on people clearly over 21 because they had good costumes of the dads.
We had a Mary in our group too and people kept being rude to our Joseph so her and the Robert started just blocking people from coming up to him. I think she actually like held her hand in one of the brats faces when they tried to start saying bible quotes and shit. It was the 2nd worst meet up I've ever been to. First is kind of a tie between a zelda one with a loud shitty link that dropped a girl, and a undertale one where I tried to host a dance party (I had done a good homestuck one back when it wasn't utter trash) and it was the most autistic shit I'd ever seen to where I stopped filming and deleted the video.

>>9952234
That's so sad. Costumes getting destroyed by inconsiderate people breaks my heart.

>>9952333
I've never heard of an item with such powerful chaos energy placed upon it. The ultimate curse

>>9952374
That sounds like a fun thread to bring back

>>9952477
That sounds pretty cute, I'm sorry you feel so sour about it. I hope you can look back and at least know that your past self had a wonderful time

>>9952656
Set your boundaries immediately with your friend. You're giving a mouse a cookie and it'll only get worse

>>9952391
Hambeasts are a scourge.

>>9952693
Expose his ass.

My friend wanted to do Callie and Marie together and I agreed since she was so excited about it (even though i never played it) but it was awful. My makeup around my waterline dried out my eyes so I was constantly blurry eyed, my shoes were slightly too big so I had to pack them with tissue which made them super uncomfortable since it would slide around all day, and on top of that only the weirdest manchildren approached us (one screeching in the squid speak while we were posing for a picture) since splatoon was waning in popularity at the time. Never again.

>>9953474
>one screeching in the squid speak while we were posing for a picture
I wouldn't even know how to handle that without running away

Once cosplayed Jolyne with the coat during a heatwave. Somehow my pics came out decent despite me dying, tog-kun was the real MVP that day. I also have some Kobayashi pictures from when I was really tan and that didn't work at all.

Most fun cosplays I've done:
>showing up as Lotta Hart to shoot an Ace Attorney meet, so many people asked for my picture and loved how IC I was
>anything JJBA because JJBA fandom a best
>Unironically Homestuck, had a great time and made a lot of friends during a con that was otherwise really shitty and drama filled

>>9952753
>ended up in a random bucket
Oh no

>>9951976
>I later cosplayed as a pokemon, in which people threw pokeballs at me.
C U T E

>>9953681
one of the pokeballs was a baseball painted as a pokeball.....................

>>9953780
Not as cute, how were the others?

>>9952160
>wanna bone him
I see what you did there.

I dressed as Shimakaze and had to walk around with a wedgie all day.

At the first big con I went to when I was about 12 or 13 I cosplayed Chibi!England from Hetalia, I got tugged into a group of older teens cosplaying from the same series by someone cosplaying as America and ended up in the center of a sweaty group hug, I barely said anything the entire time this was happening since I had no idea if this was just how big-name conventions were. I snuck off from the group when they started talking about pairings they hated.

It’s probably not the worst experience anyone’s ever had at a con, but it was pretty uncomfortable for a preteen girl who had never been hugged by a complete stranger before, much less an entire group.

Yurio yuri on ice

waste of time everyone does it and i didnt prepare enough now im stuck with the fucking jacket and a wig

this actually happened this year, so I decided to cosplay mastered ultra instinct goku and I thought "hey, I already have the gi, all I need is a wig." so I ordered a wig online, problem was it came like this rather than being advertised looking like gokus hair on amazon.

from the moment I saw it I knew I was fucked In the ass but I decided to roll with it. I ended up spray painting it white (I know shit move) but surprisingly it came out looking ok enough, it was whitish grey and thats all that mattered. however once the con got nearer, I realized my mistake, looking back at the pictures I took as mui gory was the final nail in the coffin, by the end of the con the wigs spikes were all over the place and It now lies in my garage never to be used again.

dont buy commercial wigs if you can, try to get a professional to do it for you.

Not really a regret but cosplayed a casual Gilgamesh and had a wineglass I filled with dyed resin for fake wine. Got bumped and dropped it in artist alley and it shattered all over the floor. Felt bad since staff cleaned it up for me as I cut myself a bit trying to do so.

>>9953927
Just dirty up your cosplay some and say it is post-fight Goku.

>>9953900
>dress as Yurio
>randos on the street call me a nazi because my jacket says Russia

There are a lot of cosplays I did when I was about 30 lbs heavier that I regret. Not so much the cosplay choices, but because I know I would look so much better as them now.

I’ve debated remaking a few of them, or heavily altering the costumes to fit me so I can do them better justice. But cosplaying something a second time just isn’t as fun imo

There's a couple of times where I played a game and liked a character and decided to cosplay her. Then right before the con I find out she has a huge following online and people are nuts about waifuing her, so I can't enjoy it at all because I stress about being "this character but ugly", because she's so idealised.

I try and mostly do less popular characters as much as I can, that way I don't have to worry.

>>9953900
You could try selling it on a cosplay bts group

>>9952400
I'm going to cosplay Sean and throw basketballs at people

>>9952400
This actually, went to NYC and I didn't have any non-anime cosplays at hand so I figured a lady minute ryu would work out.
Along with what you experienced, a toy/statue company put a picture of me in their insta and it was 20+ comments of randoms calling me a dyel/faggot

>>9953894
>At the first big con I went to when I was about 12 or 13 I cosplayed Chibi!England from Hetalia
what would possibly compel you to do this?

I really like cosplaying Lillie from Pokemon but my god the number of people I get asking about Nebby drives me insane.
Like people will see me and yell across the room about whether or not he's In The Bag.

>>9951976
>Solaire of Astora
This was right in the middle of Dark Souls getting huge, but early enough that I was one of the only DaS cosplayers. It was nice

Two years after my friend cosplayed something from DaS and asked me to dig up my Solaire
There were like 8 Solaires that year, like 1 or 2 high effort, but the rest were low effort, literal plastic bucket on head or unrelated crusader helm. That was when I realized Solaire became a basic bitch cosplay.

>>9952342
One time I got mistaken for humanized Escargoon while cosplaying Yoshikage Kira. Anything can happen.

I regret cosplaying nethergundam. yeah it was funny, yeah it got a great response from the public, but during transport the harness broke, and thus it hurt my shoulders pretty badly. I also nearly broke my ankle inside it backstage and on-stage. And a blade broke off during performance.

it was a lot of effort for very little. But I kept my promise. People loved it, I didn't really, and I kinda wished I had done something else. It has given me a burnout too.

>>9952682
Same, I did rainbow dash in 2011 and thought I would find other girls my age to talk to at AX and I was bewildered when 40yo virgins were coming up to me constantly. Lord

>>9953967
Why would you not just use a plastic wine glass from Dollar tree or something? Poor anon lol

>>9956266
Thinking about cosplaying Guzma, wondering if he is subject to the same treatment. i wouldn't get too bothered though

>>9958344
I can tell you right now it'd be exactly the same with "It's Yah Boy!" across the hall

>cosplay a character
>get surprised people shout references at you
really? I can understand the unwanted "glomp" but to have someone shout "HADOUKEN" or something about nebby is really fucking retarded of you. You should never cosplay characters with memes attached if youre this autistic about people being autistic at what is essentially a mass gathering of autists.

>>9958344
You will get 2 things, people screaming "It's yah boy!" and skull grunt cosplayers running up to you calling you boss.
Though the majority of skull grunts I've met have been chill as fuck

>>9958371
**but to have salt because someone shouted

>>9956266
Fuck you. Keep that faggot in the bag. I would have thrown a stuffed nebby plush at your face.

>>9952917
I forget which convention it was, but the staff had to set aside a large panel room for a homestuck photoshoot because there were so many and it was the only place they could keep them without causing too much damage from not setting their body paint. They were noisy as hell even with the door shut.

who should I dress up as to maximize my chance of getting glomped?

>>9952155
Those dumb plebs!

>>9962931
Do people still glomp in the current year?

>LANA
>LANA

>>9951976
made a bigass hammer that was well made and sturdy but the paint came off if you squeezed it at the wrong place.

>can i take a picture?
>sure but don't touch the hammer ple...
>the touch the hammer
>they take it away and pose with it
>mfw

>>9952347
How funny, I was about to post about my Black Butler, too.
My friend and I cosplayed Finny and Mei-Rin. The first time wasn't so bad, but the second time we managed to be magnets for every awkward underaged Ciel cosplayer, who would follow us around and command us like servants. One insisted we take a video of her (badly) singing a song for her followers. We did. Big mistake. She would not leave us alone, even though we tried to lose her in a crowd.
Not nearly as bad as your experience, but man, KuroShit weeks are awful.

>>9965092
LANA!

A lot of these are what you get for cosplaying a popular character, especially during the height of the medias popularity.

That being said I'm currently working on a Hero Academia cosplay and I am a moron.

About seven years of terrible costumes before I actually leaned how to sew a bit better. Regret that I can't go back and save all those awful costumes

>>9965360
Oooooh boy. It's not about popularity. If a show has started and is popular, cosplayers from it are rare and everyone cares about it, so you get a lot of attention from everyone. If it's at peak popularity, cons are too saturated with cosplayers for anyone to really care. It's when it's starting to wind down, and the only people left caring are the crazies.

Good luck with MHA, bud.

I started cosplaying with Homestuck and was a pretty good Tavros. I really loved how I looked and wore him quite a bit. But people at cons were.... awful. Dumb memes getting yelled at me about chicken nuggets, overzealous Vriskas grabbing me and Gamzees trying to flirt with me, *several* sexual harassment incidents, my first time seeing cocaine in real life... The fandom was a fucking mess. I sealed the shit out of my makeup so at least when I cried it didn't move. I wish I had more good memories but honestly my conventions have gotten exponentially better since leaving Homestuck.

>>9958344
I cosplayed Guzma for a while and randos are gonna yell "ITS YA BOI" at you and Skull Grunts are going to swarm you but on a whole it's died down a lot. It's a chill cosplay to run around in.

>>9965092
what did you expect really

>>9965564
Not that, given that I was new to cons.

>>9965092
fuck I know that feel
>cosplay Lana
>friends make giant hand jokes
>tell me it suits me because my hands are fucking huge

f-fuckers

>>9965360
Which one?

>>9966860
Ojiro, I have faith I can do it atleast decently because everyone else who's done it (that I've seen in pictures) looks absolutely terrible.

It's a really good thing Lee doesn't browse /cgl/, otherwise he'd be flooding this thread right now with his bullshit

>>9952682
I really enjoy MLP and cosplay Rarity sometimes. Had the most skittish fanboy tell me I looked like his humanization of her. I think he was terrified of what I would say after awhile and power walked away after showing me the picture which wasn't even creepy or NSFW.

I find Pinky Pie/Fluttershy fans the weirdest though.

>>9955129

Nothing to regret here whatsoever. People should have stayed TF out of your way, Katamari cosplay is the best cosplay.

Absolutely gross-ly incandescent.

I went as Saori from Oreimo and nobody recognized me. A friend of mine was supposed to come with me as Kuroneko but she forfeited at the last second because she had to study for an exam, if it wasn't for that someone would have noticed the blue-haired weirdo in a green checkered shirt and funny anime glasses.

>>9952336
>Not rolling them up in a ball

I regret crossplaying Rin Tohsaka. All the creepy dudes catcalling me and trying to hit on me make me want to quit.

>>9967664
Gene Simmons cosplay

>>9955129
That’s rough pal

First cosplay worn to a con was pre-TS Yoko. I wasn’t aware of any of the stereotypes behind that costume, and only chose it because the “bounty hunter” version was way above my skill level at the time. I got way more attention than I wanted, many photos looked like crap because I was bombarded with so many photo requests I didn’t even catch my socks and long glove rolling down. Ever since then I’ve stuck to stuff that’s not popular, or years past it’s height of popularity, and tried to avoid outfits that show a lot of skin.

I retired the costume after one con, but since I put a ton of effort into the gun and it was made with my dad, during the one and only time I got to spend with him before he died of cancer, I now do the suit version from the wedding scene in the final episode, but with the rifle and glasses.

Also maybe not regret, just bitterness. I cosplay Fujiko from the newer Lupin stuff— fiery hair and black and red catsuit and belt from the Jigen movie— and people keep calling me Black Widow. It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have a strong distaste for most of ScarJos acting and the Marvel CU.

>>9951976
The 11th Doctor.
I'm sorry I ever exposed anyone in the Boston area to it, I will go to my grave regretting it.

Cosplayed one time as shirtless Inuyasha...all the girls and guys were getting all touchy feely when taking a picture... -_-

Not sure about regretting, but I cosplayed a hentai character when I was 17 years old (Imari from Bible Black). So I just cringe at myself now. I guess I was trying to be cool. Whenever I see young girls cosplaying Sonico or some other obvious male oriented character I try not to judge them because I used to be as embarrassing as well.

Madoka: spent so much time and effort just to look like total ass. I was very excited about it because I loved the anime and I like cute, frilly designs.

The quality of the costume was great, but my face just didn't fit the character. I was too tall, I have very Caucasian face so with my high cheekbones and plump lips I looked like someone with ageplay fetish.

For a long time after that I thought I'm not cute enough to cosplay since my face can just ruin an entire costume, but I then I realized I just need to stop with the cutesy girl characters. So I guess it was also a teaching experience.

>>9951976
>getting pokeballs thrown at you
unlucky
once i was wearing a kigu at a con and some little kid cosplaying a trainer decided to try to "catch" me so i played along, their mom was all excited and stuff

as for regrets, one time i tried and failed to do armor and i had to hold my shoulders in a stiff position to make it go on
my shoulders were sore for a week

>>9952374

Took a picture of a cosplayer and was unsure enough to ask, they had extensively reworked a Princess Anna costume from Frozen.

Suggested they go as Clementine from Westworld next year, she could pull off that look

>>9971235
My first cosplay was Miku too, anon. But I was 22 and male.

My little sister was Kaito and we had a good time.

I usually go as a boy character at cons cause I don’t think I look very girlish. But I got confident one day and decided to go as demon king maou. The cosplay was kinda bad cause I didn’t get to finish the horns and the dress was a little too short. But guys kept on coming up to me and saying I had the “perfect body”. And after the 3rd guy i was over showing my boobs and changed.

Homestuck

>>9975030

Sounds hot.

>>9952122
>“are you a kid or a squid”
the correct answer is "yes."

>>9952443
yes.

>>9951976
no real regrets here, mainly my only cosplay regret is not doing it more. the last time I was able to cosplay was at Neko-con in 2006, and I did a Junpei (from megatokyo) to it and had a fairly good time, I do kinda regret being such a cringy weeb though.

Four years ago a friend talked me into dressing up as AVGN for a con so his Nostalgia Critic made more sense, the minute we got there he dropped me and went around the confloor fluttering like a social butterfly with his toy gun getting tons of pictures taken.
Only one person recognized me, that was the first and last time I ever did cosplay.

>>9975030
Madoka is supposed to be plain-looking so I'd argue an ultra-cute Madoka is inaccurate. But she also isn't supposed to be tall, so I get you with feeling like you didn't match. I sympathize with wanting to do physically impossible cosplays.

>>9976041
I actually did these two with my girlfriend at a con. She was maou and I was yuusha. Everyone kept me to take pics of them with her, as in me out if the shot. It really ruined my opinion if the average moron at a convention if they want titty cosplay pictures but can't learn enough to know that she's in a group with other people.

>>9974942
The fuck there was an OSCAR at AB this year?!

I met the Solaire before he was a bro. His wife/gf was Gwynevere and they were cute

>>9975030
just cosplay a cute girl with a mask.

>>9977954
Everyone is cute wearing a mask (except fat people).

>>9952400
Honestly, you got lucky.

>>9955089
Fuck yeah.

>>9977955
If I wear a mask does that mean I can talk to girls without them getting grossed out? not fat btw.

all of them because i am hideous

>>9951976
>The amount of people yelling "sit boy!" when I cosplayed inuyasha many years ago still haunts me today.
That's awesome, not regretable.

>>9978281
yea, because you weren't the one experiencing it.

>>9975975
>22 and male
post pics

Cosplayed Saber. Had creeps come up to me with Sigils in sharpie asking if they could be my Master.

Sort of Kakyoin. I’m really happy with the cosplay and I mostly had a great reception but all the donut jokes got real old real fast. Also I posted a pic of myself doing something casual and some dude commented on it bitching about how I wasn’t doing a canon pose.

>>9956410

If you're not blaming yourself then you should.

>>9952713

Fucking autists being offended that they were lied to. If he was well adjusted then he wouldn't had taken any insult at being deceived.

JKMM, immediate regret due to the amount of “your hetalia cosplay is super inaccurate” and “fucking nazi” comments. Fandom was so small that a lot of our group photos are the only ones that come up when you search for cosplay from it.

>>9977967
It depends on if you're gross on the inside. And personal hygiene.

>>9955129
Have you considered eating more and lifting heavy objects?

>>9979156

Harly Quinn, red and black jester-type, seemed like every guy dressed as the Joker took it as an excuse to put their hands on me.

I once cosplayed Carmen Sandiego and people everywhere should yell at me "I found you" Which i knew was gonna happen, but it was nonstop.

>>9979315
i should have!

You showed him one face and then another to someone else. This doesn't sit well with people in general and might earn you enemies. Of course you're not his mum and don't owe caring for his feefees, but what you did was crappy and you should take into consideration how others view you. Anyway, what you should had said was "Nah" (chill) followed by something along the lines of "you're not invoking romantic feelings in me" (telling him it's his fault but in a manner that won't make you look mean). And if he insists or asks you why then tell him "go befriend successful boys and learn from them" (redirect him to someone else and maybe even set him on a path to srlf improvement).
Btw something you and >>9952693 might want to know is that creeps, losers and orbiters are persistent because they are so scared, they only approach girls they are emotionally invested to. Just saying so you'll know how to best navigate around and away from them.

Yuh, it was a pretty huge hit.

>cosplaying Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

>His neck and chest are covered in hickeys

Not a bad experience just kind of. Weird and uncomfortable for me. Good for him though, I guess!

Another time I cosplayed Robert Lutece from Bioshock Infinite and spent the whole con being asked where Rosalind was. In retrospect it was kind of stupid cosplaying solo from a clearly duo deal but, well.

Steven universe. Bullied out of any interest in the hobby for a year by stupid children.

At least I found a better crowd.

cosplayed maid cafe kotori as my first con cosplay, guy who was chaperoning me and my friend (her sisters bf) kept tickling me and grabbing my sides. freaked the fuck out of 14 year old me. don’t think he realized i was a man

>>9955189
I was young and kinda dumb, and my only prior experience with the hetalia fanbase at cons had been at a tiny, quiet local con. Honestly, I’m considering myself lucky that an awkward group hug was all I got from the experience.

>>9980059
Ahhh man! Wish I saw you.
Maybe next year we'll cross paths! :D

>>9955189
>12 or 13
self explanatory

All of them. No one bothers with mine as it's always outshined by other people in my group and I feel more and more like I'm just throwing money away for nothing. Guess I'll stop now.

aw, that actually sounds really sweet. wish my older brother would do something like this with me

Anytime you do a cosplay with an associated catch phrase or meme, you better be prepared to hear it all damn con. No one ever seems to consider that's the millionth time you've heard it that day, you're expected to be amused every time like it's the first.

I don't regret them, but one year I did a Skyrim Whitere guard and an Avatar Dai Li agent and the whole con was sweet rolls, arrows to the knee and no war in Bai Sing Se.

>>9983687
*Whiterun

>>9975030
I'm the absolute opposite anon. I wish I could cosplay Bayonetta, Sailor moon, Yukiko from xxxholic, Jessica rabbit - but I'm so baby faced. I'm trying my first magical girl cosplay for an upcoming con and the amount of new comments and likes telling me how well my round face fits is..flattering but also, why can't I do sexy booby cosplays damn it.

>>9952332
I disagree too. Sure the novels were way better, but the anime wasn't shit enough to warrant being embarrassed cosplaying from it, jeez. It's your fault if you cosplayed from it because it's a currently popular anime and not because you actually love the characters. It's a shame that Shion and Nezumi have cunts like that cosplaying them and then even being embarrassed about it.
And yes, I'm being salty about this.
At least you read the novels afterwards...

Anyone wear a costume that's so hard to take off you just evacuate into it all day and blame the smell on fat people?

>>9952897
Why do you want to cosplay men if you don't want to cosplay men? Genuinely curious, as someone who hates gender bends. Personally if I like a character enough to cosplay them, I at least want to look like them, not some bizarre removed nod to the character design. It doesn't even seem like the same character anymore especially with a sexy element added.

>>9990959
I'm glad that I have no idea what you mean by evacuate

>>9990991
Oh sweetheart. Oh my darling dear. You know.

>>9990908
>you will never be this autistic

>>9983687
This
I know friends who where in Persona 3 cosplays and got quotes from that Hiimdaisy comic yelled at them for the entire con

>>9951976
>I later cosplayed as a pokemon, in which people threw pokeballs at me.

I had this happend to me aswell! except it wasn't a pokeball but an apple that the autist thought was ok to throw at me
Fuck that kid

>>9958344
I actually cosplayed Guzma last year and honestly it was the most fun I've ever had at a con. Had people yell "it's ya boy!" and were super friendly towards me, especially skull grunt cosplayers.

>>9951976
I cosplayed one character that I liked but felt really uncomfortable in it so I changed halfway through the con. A picture of me in that cosplay also got posted on /co/ and of course they said sexual shit. Fuck /co/.

>>9975030
I feel you. I tried hina ichigo from rozen maiden on and felt like an ageplayer straight away. It's not so much my face but I'm 5 foot 9 and have big boobs, wearing a binder helped but I still tower over people.

>>9990902
>sexy booby

how big are they? If they are big enough, they'll make a bigger argument for your case than any baby face.

First (and only) cosplay; tibbers onesie from LOL. Learnt to sew and made it in two days before the OPL finals in Sydney a few years ago. It was horribly put together and mismatched all over the place, I felt like an ass.

I did meet some cool people though, and hearing people call out your
name and come accross to chat/hug was a pretty great feeling. Wore it to ~2 cons and its been sitting in the back of my cupboard ever since.

I figured I would see a lot of homestuck.
No regrets.

>>9992220
Probably because I used to be a homestuck and I don't regret it. Getting good with face paint and making horns and a robot arm were all good skills that I can apply to other cosplay. Also, like I said, I don't regret it, but I also learned a lesson about getting involved with an obnoxious fandom (hence why I won't cosplay Voltron ever even though I love both the new show and the old show and am glad the franchise is doing well outside of selling 80s nostalgia merch).

>>9992223
IM SKINNY GOODBYE

>>9992223
>Getting good with face paint and making horns and a robot arm were all good skills that I can apply to other cosplay

This! As awful as the fandom and cosplays were, there was alot of great tutorials put out for so many of the different designs/characters.
Armsocks are the best things on earth

>>9992223
>>9992228
the fandom is good. change my mind.

>>9992239
Maybe it is now, but at the height of popularity, it was rubbish and full of obnoxious preteens and teens. The amount grey paint that got everywhere alone should be proof for you.

>>9992239
The source is bad so the fandom is bad

>t. homestuck

>>9992244
but it is worth it to pretend to have friends for a while, right?

>>9992239
I use to hate the fandom, but its honestly fine now. They use to be the absolute worst people at conventions, but now there aren't many of them so they aren't grouping up to cause destruction like before.

>>9992393
just wait till next year, anon. 10th anniversary is coming up so there’ll be a temporary resurgence

>>9992393
I didn't think it was particularly bad, same level of degeneracy you could expect elsewhere with that age group, just more public.
I wonder what the next homestuck will be, or if there ever will be one.

>>9952391
you must be really pretty

>>9992585
>same level of degeneracy you could expect elsewhere with that age group, just more public
The problem was the fact they formed massive groups. Individually they aren't bad, but when there are several dozens or hundreds of them in a hall way, they are insufferable.

>>9952347
If it makes you feel any better I had the same experience cosplaying her too.

>>9992621
It sounds like you were just too old to be a part of it.

>>9992397
I really doubt it unless Hussie does something big for the anniversary. Even Hiveswap finally coming out didn't really make many ex-Homestucks crawl out of the woodwork, at least not at my local cons.

>>9992220
I cosplayed from Homestuck at it's height and it still remains one of the best con experiences I've ever had and I remember it very fondly.
It was my first time doing actual "costume work" rather than just buying pieces, and serious wig styling. I got so many compliments, took a ton of dumb shippy photos, had a great time at meetups. It boosted my confidence tenfold and even though by my standards now the costume is immensely simple, and looking back at the fandom as a whole is pretty cringey, I loved every second of it and don't regret it one bit.
I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to do a HS cosplay with me one more time because I think it'd be pretty fun and goofy, we'll see lol

>>9992239
>>9992585
They're known for throwing buckets at people (and purposely vomiting in them too)

>>9992835
I know people always talked about how bad homestuck cosplays were, but I really do have more respect for a kid that makes their own cosplay than one that bought theirs.

>>9992838
ha.
I heard of spitting, but vomiting?
>>9992835
who was it?

>>9992844
I think it was spitting but the way they do it is still gross regardless.

>>9990908
This, I didn't think the anime was a masterpiece but anon was overreacting way too much.

But it's a shit idea to cosplay from an airing anime anyway, I did it once and my character turned out to be a huge fucking asshole everyone hated and I had to listen to shitty comments all day long until I just had to give up and take the costume off. Never, ever doing that again.

>>9954065
my sides

I crossplay ftm and one of my first s was a laughing jack cosplay when i was in high school. It was around Halloween but it was a country ass school and i hadn't been costuming for very long at all. I had, like a fucking dumbass, superglued this long ass paper&tape nose to my face and it kept getting smacked off because i had pe that day. It was a whole ass mess. This was before i even knew about setting the white face paint with baby powder. My face had a rash from the glue and one of my teachers like distanced herself from me a bit, not that we were even close but like dude. Anyway it was horrible and the picture is on insta somewhere. I still kept the nose, it was a pretty decent paint job.

>>9975030
I feel this so much anon. I'd love to cosplay as cute girl characters but I have a complete handsome manface with a shapeless manly body. Putting on kawaii makeup and wearing dresses legitimately makes me look like a goddamn tranny. So I'm just stuck doing bishounen cosplays because my face and body fits them well, but deep inside I'm longing for a cute, frilly costume.

>>9951976
Just did Waluigi. The people shouting "WAH" was funny at first but after a while it got annoying. A drunk guy bought me a beer though

>>9992827
I was the same age as them all at the time.

i took a picture with a little girl though so that up for it even though my costume sucked lol

>>9992967
just thought you were above it all?


sometimes I wish I wasn't such a pretentious fedoralord.

Have you ever cosplayed as a character you hate because you thought it was an easy costume to make?
