So a guy invited me go with his group to a con in Germany. Obviously it has been canceled because of Corona but it still piqued my interest and I hope it'll still be held in September. Not gonna lie my main motivation is to go to meet some girls and party hard with people who actually share my interests instead of randoms in techno clubs. The people I go with will go for a cosplay and I'm thinking about also doing so. But I've never dressed up like that and I'm a bit insecure.

What do you recommend for a first timer? Do I try to make a costume myself or I should I go for a premade one? What are some things I should be aware of concerning picking a cosplay and cons in general.

I'd be really glad if you could point me in some direction since I'm really looking forward to this.

Correction: It hasn't been canceled but is actually just going to be hosted in September.

Why the fuck do you expect to be spoonfeded when cons aren’t even going to happen for a long time?

No reason, just asked because I had a question.

It really depends if you enjoy crafting stuff. If you do, make one, if you don't, buy it.

I have no experience with crafting stuff, I work more with abstract stuff than with my hands but I kind of want to try. I guess I'll just buy a cosplay and visit a workshop at the con.

Why?

They’re making a reference to the horror movie Midsommar, where some grad students got lured to Europe and killed by a cult. It’s a beautiful film, I would recommend it.

I guess you are talking about DoKomi, as it's the only convention left in our country for 2020 and it got postponed to September. I'll join the convention myself and whish you lots of fun. They organised a digital convention last weekend and did a solid job on that. So I'm excited for their show in September!

Buying a Cosplay Is less hassle and nowadays socially accepted, as long as it looks good. You should be fine if you put effort in styling the wig and the proper use of makeup!

Why don't you tell us what series you like?
