Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby

>>10889919>Its called having some self respect.but a lot of them will be rich by 30 and by that time everything would've forgotten about them, then the next generation of cosplayers do the same fucking thing

I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)
my toenail recently came off, it's all purple and shit, is the right thread?
>>10912024Go to a hospital
>>10912086it already healed but do you wanna see the fallen-off purple nail? it looks like it could fit in this decorated nail thread
Foid here,I'm starting to think cosplaying is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10908459>Just don't be fat or greasyI don't even mind if someone's greasy, but I've tried dating a fat girl before and I think she could tell how not interested I was in her.
>>10836914based beatrix merry me
>>10837684The vernacular is uninspired derivation from the original male term femoidMen are familiar with it because you never stop bitching at us but also because foid is the obvious counter-derivation from moid.
Protip:If you're not attractive and into cosplay, make tailored costumes for local Onlyfan Thots. They'll pay huge premium and you don't have to leave your parent's 2nd floor to do so. You get the simp $$$ without having to shake your ass and undergo years of permanent damage. Plus you gain skills.
>>10889536well just blame the nerds who've being bullied through their whole life paying for that stuff, thanks to them all these thots feel entitled enough to say whatever bullshit crosses their minds and people will laugh and call it a day

Taking place April 27th-28th we're just over a month away, are any of you guys planning on going? Anyone returning from last year, or planning on going for their first time this go-around? Cosplay plans? C'mon let's hear 'ya out.
Next touhoufest was announced to be June 13th to 15th
Had a great day today, pretty much was dancing the entire time between the djs on the outside stage and then the eurobeat show. Got to hear China gal and Magical girl live, never thought that day would come.
I had a lot of fun today lads. It was nice meeting people from this site IRL. Can’t wait for tomorrow!>>10912051Interesting change from April to June. Though that gives me more time to save up for next time, so no complaints from me lol.
What a great day one. Didn't do well in the th 19 tournament, but it was all fun regardless
>>10909559Been so busy I forgot to post here. Are you in cosplay? I'll be the bawka in the hapi in the game room with the arcades. Hope to meet up!
Recently I got a crush on slav women, they're fucking goddessesName: ksana stankevich
>>10912012Her nose looks like a chiselled potato. Her brow ridge straddles her eyes like an australopithecus. Nothing wrong with that, but if you think that's pretty you should probably stop cosplaying anime characters, its just not meant for you.
>>10912016You've been brainwashed by photoshop so much you've forgotten how your fellow human beings look. Cosplay isn't about literally looking like the character otherwise you end up as the uncanny aliens you like. It's making characters humans, and Saya is beautiful without filters too

>>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

>>10912082can you guys shut up and dump more
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
Has anyone seen Genshiken?Plot:Genshiken is an anime that’s more about otaku culture similar to Wotakoi. It’s about a group of college students who created their own otaku club known as Genshiken. Kanako Ohno is the main cosplayer of the group and is usually the main attraction for the club at student fairs. Normally, she’s soft-spoken but is extremely passionate when it comes to cosplay and talking about yaoi. She develops a relationship with Souichirou Tanaka, another cosplayer and costume designer in the club.

>>10863278Honestly as someone in the competitive scene this show is like crack to me and my friends. Competitive cosplayers are just /like/ that, the show is spot on with the ridiculousness and how life or death serious people get stressed over it
>>10911577I just finished the first episode and I agree. This is pretty accurate to how intense/emotional some of these people can get with this competition. On that note, the difference between the contestants who are treating the cosplay contest as a life or death situation vs the ones that are having fun with it is night and day. One of the contestant's perfectionism resulted in her completely skipping the competition.
>>10912048Agree, will say it's also super interesting to rewatch the show through the 2024 lens of competitive cosplay, where we have so much more available technology that is the norm in contest cosplays now. Seeing a pre-3d printer competitive scene was great

If this thread is not appropriate for this I apologize. I got invited to a Ren faire what should I wear? I've never been before. I like to cosplay, but don't know what the vibe is at renfairs.
>>10911690A renfair is a vaguely history/fantasy themed costume festival. Don't get too hung up on it. Dress up as an elf. Dress up as a fantasy Viking. Dress up as a princess. Some people wear their LARP outfits, some people wear their reenacting clothing. Do whatever and have fun. Just be sure to eat a giant chicken leg and a churro.
>>10911695>Just be sure to eat a giant chicken leg and a churro.Oh I will!

Previous thread >>10803531 died from a lack of posts. Not all that surprising with how little there was to post about at the time. Personally I'm also somewhat done with /cgl/ and all the pointless con drama and have been focusing on other things. But now that we've got several conventions around the corner, have a new thread!Question of the thread: What convention are you looking forward to the most this year and why?Upcoming major events>22-23 Sep: Elfia Haarzuilens, a large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens.>6-7 May: MIA NL, a popular commercial anime convention in Gorinchem.>21-21 May: Comic Con Brussels, a large commercial geek convention in Brussels.>9-11 June: Animecon, the oldest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Rijswijk.>24-25 June: Heroes DCC, the largest commercial geek convention with a focus on dealers. >30 Jun-2 Jul: Dokomi DE, a large popular anime convention in Dusseldorf.>8-9 July: Atsusacon, Belgium's largest anime convention... I think?>3-6 August: Castlefest, a(nother) large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens with tons of great food.>11-13 August: Abunai!, the second oldest and probably now largest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Veldhoven.>12-13 August: Showmasters Comic Con Amsterdam, a geek convention in Amsterdam.Comment too long.

>>10905933I would say so if you like fantasy fairs. I personally really like Elfia. Nice location, always something to do or see.Unfortunately it's kinda shit if it rains a lot. But that's a risk you have to take.
Facts 2024 spring had too much funko's. Lotsa cute girls though
>book hotel for anime con>think of it I booked right by the event center>check reservation from email>hotel is inside chinatownHow badly did I screw this up? Will train be okay? I do not want to taxi.
>>10910719Chinatown's street leads to Hollands Spoor on one side. If you take Tram 17 towards Wateringen from there and get out at the Volmerlaan stop, you're pretty much there already.Be careful not to miss the last tram back though, I think the last one is around midnight or so.
>>10911895And there is Uber

You're cute...ish. I'd say hi to you at the Ryanair.
Anime North is only a month away, anyone else going but not buying a ticket this year?
>>10912049Who spends money on AN? Just drink and talk to people in the lot.
>>10912050exactly why I'm not buying a ticket
Last year was my first year, had a blast at the truck so I'm planning on coming back. Only reason I'm tempted to buy a pass is there is a DJ on Saturday that played at the truck last year and I enjoy listening to online, but I could just listen outside of the stage cage for free instead. No idea why they set up the outdoor stage that way, it looks absolutely horrible with the giant fence around it.
>>10912049>saving money for OtakIt's $60 lmao how broke are you?
>paying to go to the AN ravekill yourself, not even worth a (You)
