Hugging this girl, cause I cosplayed her fav. character, being nice to her, and starting a conversation with her, cause Im that nice.
Girl is batshit insane, and she stalked me for months after the convention was over, because she thought we were bff's.
I'll never be the same again.

- Thank god she stopped a couple of months ago, so she could stalk some of my other friends. Or so I've heard.

This thread is going to be epic lulz, I can feel it.

There are a few flirting choices I made that I'd forsure like to take back, and some I wish I'd made.
Oh, unbelievably hot PJ Naruto at Otakon '06, why didn't I get any contact info from you even though we talked for about an hour? And I def would have NOT gone into the basement at Otakon '06.

Infact...Otakon '06 was simultaneously the most epic and regrettable convention experience I have ever had.
Something I'm surprised I DON'T regret? The '06 4chan panel. SHIT WAS SO CASH.

inb4 consex

Giving EBK my e-mail address.

Dropping out of a group because I was too lazy to pre-reg tickets and blaming it on my skill level. Fuck you procrastination.

Degrading into the mentality of a 14 year old girl every time I saw 4ng31 at Ohayocon.

My friends and I just screeched, ran, hid, giggled, whispered, then snuck around him for peeks and shit.

I regret it because
1.) It's really embarassing and dumb to act that way
2.) I'm pretty sure my boyfriend caught on
3.) Now that he's dating Soni I feel bad for lusting after her man because I think they're an amazing couple, and I like Soni. I know that Soni says she isn't the "jealous type", and I can't help that I find him attractive, but I still feel bad.
SORRY SONI. D: I won't do it again, promise. <3

Got another one.

Many years ago when I was a super con-n00b, this chubby guy came over to me, saying he was in this lame competition.
The winner is the one who could get the most hugs and kisses from people. - As stupid as I was I gave him a hug and a kiss. He took that kiss very seriously, and started to try to french kiss me.
Several times that day, he came over to me to ask if I wanted to kiss some more, untill I politely told him I had to go home, and that I was very tired and not up for a kiss.

Many years later, I recognize him to every con I go too. Thankfully he doesnt recognize me. But, I really regret it. Even if it was many years ago, it ruined my convention completely.

Not jumping my friend and holding her mouth shut when she tried to call over Gorilla Shino.

WE TOLD YOU NO, DAMN IT. NOW WE HIDE FROM HIM. EVERY CONVENTION. D:

YOU WILL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN.

>>1731948
I highly doubt he was in a competition. Probably just a sex-deprived pervert.

>>1731953
wat?

>>1731959
Naw, I met one of his friends that was also in the "competition."

Now that I think about it, Im pretty sure he actually lurks on /cgl/. Thanks for ruining my weekend, asshole.

>>1731941

THIS.

I think the thing I regret most about cons is bringing certain people.
Because they seem cool, or they're into anime but kind've in the shadows, and you're nice and give them a ride, y'know.
But once you get there, they ditch you or become that annoying person at the con that no one wants to be with. I never noticed that these assholes who scream and squeal and hit people at cons seem to be regular people in the outside world until you take them to a con.
Big mistake.

But specifically... Comicon, ran head-first into my friend's keyblade.
I regret worrying the hell out've everyone even though I insisted I was fine.

Bringing my at-the-time boyfriend to a con. Other guys started flirting and he got very aggressive.

Boy, LITERALLY humping me in public is how ANIMALS show their dominance. There is a REASON I elbowed you in the face to get you off of me. NOT cool.

>>1732020
It's a well known fact that furfags can sometimes cosplay when not in fursuits.

I regret taking my cosplay too seriously.

I regret having sex with a Klan Klein cosplayer, now I have aids

>>1732086
Klan Klien Kosplayer?!

Letting this Creepy Itachi cosplayer who was cockeyed take pictures of me in my MGS cosplay. He picked me up without permission for a picture and I freaked out. Then he put me down, held me firmly and said "Kiss me". I said no, tried to push him off, and feared for my damn anal virginity until a friend saved me.

I love you, Stephanie. Thank you for threatening to deck that guy in the face.

>>1731935
I'm in the process of making one of these. Trust me when I say, it was an easy fix. It might have ruined that convention for him, but I highly doubt it ruined the costume.

My regret is that I'm just now getting to go to a convention. I'm 24 and going to Louisianime and A-Kon in May. These will be my first cons and I'm excited. I'll be the nervous guy cosplaying as the newest Price of Persia.

>>1731959
>I highly doubt he was in a competition. Probably just a sex-deprived pervert.
Wait a minute... that's not the wallet inspector...
(too lazy for pic of homer)

Not looking better for my friend when she was hooking up with this two timing jerk.(Snuck away around midnight)

More like three timing. They started dating when he was dating along girl ans with his random flings.

My friends boyfriend wanted to come a con with us because he didn't want to be alone for a day.(He even tried talking her out of going) We got there he did nothing but bitch and moan about EVERYTHING and constantly fought with my friend (his gf) over the tiniest things. At one point he said something that put her in tears.

>>1732140
You from Cen-La, by any chance?

The only regret I have is not being smarter about tricking my parents into giving me rides and/or learning to use the bus. Before I got my beloved car, I had to miss out on cons that were a mere thirty minutes from my house.

>>1732149
.. Uh.. Wouw anon. Its stories like these that makes me happy to be single.

I have yet another 'story'.

I was 14 years. It was my 2nd con. I cosplayed as Puni Puni Poemi. Costume was okay, but it didnt suit me at all.
I looked like shit cause 'lol makeup and plucking eyebrows? whats that!!!!1one', let alone I used to have the body of an 8 year old. (And Poemi looks like a slut with huge bewbs, so yah.)
I dont regret wearing the costume to the con, cause hey, its just a hobby.
I do however regret entering the cosplay masq with that costume.
It was the worst skit ever, and if that wasnt bad enough, I realized this while I was on the stage, in the middle of the skit.
Lots of drama happened. I should've never entered that masq. <_< It was so damn embarrassing.

My inevitable regret at cons is there's always some friend who gets shafted in terms of getting to see them or do photos or stuff with them. More people than time, sadly.

Giving the Quatre my email thinking he was my age and not, you know, five years my senior and some weird sex-crazed lunatic.

Thank god he was on house arrest the next con. What for? Four counts of sexual harassment. HURRRR

>>1732140
It didn't help that there was a fucking Joker and two counterstrikes cosplayers that were all like... 20+ going off at me and I was about 13 at the time.

Massive guilt trip was massive.

>>1732156
Shreveport

>>1732140
What outfit exactly? Halo related or just armor. I plan on hunting out you if I could at a-kon

>>1732186

You let some idiot in a joker cosplay talk down to you? I put these fags below Narutards.

I'm going for pure enjoyment, I won't be looking for a fight or wanting to start drama, and I sure as hell won't be running around like a sex crazed pervert. I don't know for the life of me why people get so freaking idiotic here. Isn't the point to look cool and be awesome? Why do most of these kids fail so hard?

The very first con I ever went to I brought a friend along. A friend that decided she would stand reeeeeeeeeally close to me at all times. She was also a yaoi-crazed lunatic. If I ever said even the slightest thing to try and get her to stand just a little bit farther away, she'd put on this gross look like a manged puppy that had just gotten kicked into a blender and stand seven or so feet away from me just glaring.

Yeah, about a week later I found out she was a flaming lesbian that was lusting after me something hard. More than a little creepy, since now that I look back every single time she hugged me it DID kinda seem like she was copping a feel.

Needless to say I dropped that like it was hot. Never should have brought her along, either, since her constant bitching about me "Not wanting to hang out with her" basically ruined the con for me.

>>1732191
Actually I'm making a Halo 3 armor, I have the HD set I'm working on, but that won't be done until the end of summer.

I'm dragging my cousin along. He's 19 and this is his first con as well. We'll be going as Gangster Mario and Luigi (1940s gangster). I'm also bringing my Prince of Persia cosplay and he's dressing up as Sexy Squall.

>>1732198
It was mostly the counterstrike guy. He looked like your average serial killer. And I was actually 12, on reflection.

I had to avoid him for ages. Which was fucking annoying, as he was probably the most well-known cosplayer there. This year imma just go up and apologize or something, if he's still pissed then... well, he's a twat.

Giving the catwalk announcer the finger when he called me an idiot.

That guy was actually nice, but still somewhat a douche.

Also, never ever, never ever cosplay when you're bitter and TOTALLY WITNESSING YOUR EX AND HER NEW BOYTOY PLAY AROUND WHILE YOU RAGE.

And that time when I went total emo in front of a couple of people outside the venue, with said ex.

Man, i gotta stop being emotional on events. Geez.

I'm learning alot from this thread, like don't date immature people while attending a con and don't be fat/ annoying.

>>1731945
Its seriously okay, I get reduced to the same 14-year old mentality every time I talk to him. In fact, I think its cute you react that way.

I regret is pretty much letting down a lot of people in the past year, planned costumes, planned events, etc. I can't say I was in a good place after WCS, but I am now and am working hard towards bettering myself as not only a cosplayer, but as a person as well.

>>1732237
actions speak louder than words, I really hope you mean this.

>>1732263
Seriously. Especially after she said she'd quit and never really did.

>>1732237
Good GOD you're lame.

I basically made the worst Agent J cosplay ever, complete with song and dance onstage.

The gentleman pictured here does not hold even a CANDLE to the travesty I committed that day.

I have to agree with another anon on here about too many people, not enough time.

A particular time that comes to mind was Fanime 08. Lots of shit was going down and I locked myself up in a hotel room trying to make things work when I should've given up long ago.

I missed seeing a lot of people and missed hanging out with friends. When I finally DID give up and go out, everyone wanted to hang out at the same time and I felt extremely bad because I couldn't for everyone.

I'm such a hermit, I really need to figure out how to reach out to my friends more, but a lot of times I feel really overwhelmed and like I can't handle more than 3 or 4 people.

I'm working on it.

I'm going to be sharing a hotel room with AT LEAST 16 people for Otakon '09. Some of them have never met and some of them have had problems with eachother in the past.

Thing is, when all the inevitable shit goes down, I'm just going to laugh because I really don't care.

>>1732275

>>1732288
Promise to post your stories later? I sense some lulzy dramu.

>>1732198
Maybe that was a couple years ago before TDK when Joker costumes weren't the plague they are now.

>>1732291
You are a more pathetic whiteknight than Masa

>>1732293
Oh, of course. I wouldn't hold back all that drama from you guys.

>>1732295
It was way before the Dark Knight. :3

>>1732288
LOL.

Stalking this Cloud cosplayer. I mean, he's cute, but geesus, I must've asked for a picture of him at least 5 times. And it was a small con, so I'm sure he remembered.

>>1732297

>>You are a better whiteknight than Masa

fix'd

>>1732319
Nice self-post.

this isn't much of a regret as it happens everywhere for me, but I love to socialize and meet people. Sometimes I hang out with other folks who join in on the things I'm doing or I join in on the things they're doing, but I never get to do the whole "Hi my name's Matt/Maguma, and you are" process. So people come up to me later remembering who I am because of what i did or the things they've heard about and I have no clue who they are.

I meet so many people but I have an issue remembering names and I feel like crap for it. (Though if you told me what they looked like I could pick them out from a line-up)

I regret meeting 4ng3l, Bridget..BRIDGET!

>>1732332

Cons can be so overwhelming. I feel really bad when people come up to me, obviously remembering me from some con, but I don't remember them. At cons you meet so many people in such a short time, it is generally the newer people who I just completely blank on.

Dear god, where do I begin? I regret not chewing out my roomies for making my 13-year-old sister sit in the hotel lobby by herself for half an hour while they bawwwwwed up in the room. Certainly regret being an idiot and not picking up on when people are hitting on me, even after they kissed me. And trying to balance making family happy and being at the con doesn't work. *le sigh* </rant>

Adding onto the list of "too many people, not enough con"! One of the biggest reasons I go to cons is to see people who I can't see due to distance/time constraints, so missing out on the chance to hang out with them is really a kick in the face.

Uh.. otherwise, I really don't regret anything that has happened at past conventions. Awp.

>>1731941

This.

>>1732341
totally. People who I spend like the whole day with or I talk to a lot I'll remember, but one time instances, even if they're awesome, aren't enough.

>>1732288
ROB?

prolly wearing that one loli outfit. i was young at the time, so pretty clueless.. and saw it as cute but everyone else saw it as something more sexual. ehh -__-

>>1732341
>Cons can be so overwhelming. I feel really bad when people come up to me, obviously remembering me from some con, but I don't remember them. At cons you meet so many people in such a short time, it is generally the newer people who I just completely blank on.

Add to that the fact that half the time they're dressed in a different outfit, with a different color hair and other stuff, have a real name and a cosplay name, and you get a lot of "DAMMITWHOARETHEY" going on in your head.

I only regret not having really flirted with this girl that was way into me at AX '06

I regret....

Being 11 at a con.
Being 13 at a con
Going to Katsucon at all.
Half the people I've ever roomed with at cons.

>>1731941

This, also doing goofy poses for the camera, because those always come back and bite you. CURSES!

i went to an anime con before.

;_;

>>1732558

Cheer up, you'll be of ripe age for sex and being taken advantage of soon. Yes this goes for both guys and girls.

>>1732574
i <3 that joke

This isn't something I really regret but I felt kind of bad for the guy afterwards.

Several friends and I were talking shit since we were in biker bouzu costumes (nothing over PG). Well one guy decided that wearing tight shirts was something to fight about so he comes up to the four of us, fists clenched and holding back tears. Mind you we all had weapons and this guy looked like you could snap him in half. Needless to say we apologized and said, "just a joke, calm down" then had a good laugh about it when he left.

Acting like a 12 year old when I got Quinton Flynn's autograph. You could've sworn he was a goddamn Backstreet Boy with the way I was acting. He's not even that hot! After we got the signature we rounded a corner and I like... fell on my knees and dissolved into a mess of giggles and sighs. And it was pretty loud.

:/

>>1732576
.. I.. 'm 20 now. Thanks.

>>1732576
>11
>13
>Not of ripe age

>>1732637
go back to /v/ numbnuts

>>1732646
No :|
You don't own this board and I can browse which ones I want.

>>1732622
>>1732622

>biker bouzu costumes (nothing over PG)

What's that?

>>1732664
biker bouzu are I guess japanese gangster-types.

I worded that horribly but I was referencing the shit-talking, as in what we said was nothing that wouldn't be said in front of a parent.

>>1732625

He actually is pretty hot. Not gonna lie.

Things I've done at cons that I really regret... helped out with a smaller con that took none of my advice and will therefore stay tiny forever.

>>1732625
You should've flirted, he's a pervo and might've done some shit with you. (Unless you're fat/ugly)

I regret fooling myself into thinking a group of people were my friends who I cosplayed with, not cosplay friends.

They dropped me like a hot potato the moment I told them I couldn't make it to a con/wear a certain costume that completed their cosplay group.

Oh well- at least I found out who my real friends are.

ooh. let's just say: someone who was attractive in costume might not be so attractive anymore when you find out he has no car and still lives with his mom.

>>1732714
whats up itachi reznor?

>>1732681 He actually is pretty hot. Not gonna lie.

I saw him at a con last year. He's gained weight.

Going to a con and not being single.

>>1732716

You do realize most of them don't have cars and still live with their parents right?

>>1732720
lolno. I'm female, first of all, and I'm not even from the same country as him.

>>1732726
Any reason you're feeling hostile today? I tell you, if there's something you need to get off your chest then you should let it out instead of bottling it up like a coke.

We're here for you.

>>1732733

Dr. Phil huh? OK, I got one.

>>1732741
Judging from the amount of butthurt I'm seeing, I'd say you're the one who enjoys a throbbing cock up the butt~

I had dinner with Vic Mignogna.

>>1733751
You poor, poor soul...

I wore a bad, overly tight-fitting FMA anime Wrath costume when I was 5'2" and 135 pounds. There are a few pics of it out there and they make me want to hurl.

Thinking Rammy was cool.

>>1732625
Heh. Heh. AWWRRIIIIIGHT.


My regret is not getting into cosplay sooner. I started just 2 years ago and I feel so behind. ;~;
And being antisocial and stuff...

>>1733841
There is a reason this macro was made, ladies.
