i stuff my bra with toast at conventions.

I make lulfaces at photographers because I'm selfconscious about having the 'right expression.

Also, I want to pounce that adorable straight girl that likes pretending to be a gay boy with other girls. A lot. She's really hot.

>>1744824
>I make lulfaces at photographers because I'm selfconscious about having the 'right expression.

SAME, oh god, same.

what a strange thing to do...please continue...

I troll yaoi fangirls by pretending to be one of them.

I unintentionally 'scammed' anywhere from $500 - $1000 from a couple of people who wanted a commission. They all sent payments to the wrong email, and in turn the money off that paypal account was stolen.

I feel so awful, and I don't know what to do.
;_;

I secretly wish to be well known and for people to think Im pretty

>>1744870

You're anonymous and a butterface.

oh dear thats a problem.

I'm a bi girl, and I make a big show of being straight around straight girls so they won't feel threatened when I do yuri poses with them.

>>1744865
Was the wrong email your fault or theirs?

This girl who can't stand me likes to troll-whiteknight me on here to get me in trouble. She doesn't know that I know it's her. Secret because if she knew, it would get a thousand times worse.

I only make original design cosplays because i'm scared of criticism if I did one that already exists.

I'm sick of going to conventions with the same group of people because I don't have fun with them anymore. They are rude to people at the con and it makes everyone have a bad time.

I just suck at making new friends. :C

>>1744908
I don't know.
My contact email isn't my paypal account- they basically sent the money to my contact email without telling me, and that paypal account was shared with my ex who took the money.
Yeah.

I hate humanity and how they treat each other, but then realize that I care because of the same things that make me hate others.

Cons are the only places where I really, really think my girlfriend shouldn't leave me alone with delicious jailbait dressed like sluts.

I once broken a person's costume by stepping on it by accident.

I never felt that bad about a stranger before.

>>1744914
so instead you get criticized for doing Original Costume. Sounds like lose/lose.

>>1744917
Go to bigger cons, strike up conversation with other people from your series. You're not bound to make new friends if you hang out only with the people you don't want to stay with, especially if they're jerks to other people because said other people will bunch you in with them and therefore ignore you.

My boyfriend keeps wasting his money on stupid things and the rent is due soon. I don't know if I can go to conventions anymore if i'm going to have to start putting all my paycheck into the rent..

>>1744931

Welcome to being an adult. Don't fuck up.

>>1744819
"Toast" is a nickname of mine IRL. I find this extremely hilarious.

And hot.

>>1744924
Humans are Human, trying to be anything else is futile, and psychologically unhealthy.

Trying to carry the weight of all the world's suffering will only hurt you, we aren't meant to comprehend anything extending too far past our own lives. This is truth.

Don't hate us for what we are. Love us for what we're not. And don't hold a few bad examples as representatives for the entire species.

>>1744943
seconded.
>>1744955
quite right ,
you've done well.

>>1744910
Why does she troll you? You a better cosplayer or something?

I would post my picture here but I have a friend he frequents here and that would be embarrassing

>>1744824

I want to pounce her too.

>>1744973

1) He isn't here
2) He would probably just lol about it anyways.

>>1744973
FUCK THAT BITCH.
i know him, he sucks!

and also the fact that even if that person is totally cool with me posting a pic, I dont want to get criticized :(

>>1744982
she's the only one I really want </3

>>1744962
No, I don't think that's it. I think it's more personal issues than an issue of talent levels. I'd go into more detail, but I don't want to give myself away and I am honestly not even sure exactly what her deal is, just that she doesn't like me and I can tell from her grammar, knowledge of me, and use of emoticons that it's her posting.

>>1745038
sup acire.

>>1745041
No, wrong coast.

>>1745038
awww shit conan!,what the fuck you gonna do?
i plan i throwing my self to the lions
then use the lions ags gaurds
then i havent gotten that far ,but i will let ya know

>>1745035

It would be really wacky if we were considering the same person.

>>1745063
And you're very obviously not the person I'm talking about.

>>1745066
It would be. Pacific Northwest?

>>1745075
i got that much ,
it is not secret love it or hate it this is entertainment,
at its worst..

>>1745085

Nah. Guess we just share a longing bond.

>>1745038
OP you shouldn't feel sad about anything that that person says about you, and it is true, if you come back at her it might become worse. Maybe this person is jealous of you, it only means that you do good at whatever you do.
If this person is trolling you, then they might even not be paying attention to this thread.

>>1745097
Guess so. I'm glad I'm not the only one though

Im dating a furry and he is hot.

I get cold feet before any conventions so I make excuses not to cosplay/to back out of a group/to not go at all. I get mysteriously ill right before most conventions. I don't believe in my cosplaying ability so the only times I do actually turn up is if my cosplay is something so simple I couldn't have possibly fucked it up. Otherwise I'm "ill".

I act up like a typical cosplay skank now to make up for lost time. I wasn't popular for most of high school, I got bullied for a couple of years and even when I did get popular in my final year guys were intimidated by me then. Now people actually want to get me in bed, I'm compensating for all those boring years. I figure nobody will notice one more low-profile skank in cosplay anyway.

Rubber bright yellow processed cheese like you get at fast food places makes me violently ill.

The only chocolate I like is European white chocolate but I eat other chocolate so I don't seem weird.

My boyfriend doesn't know my parents help me with rent and I tell him rent is higher than it really is so he coughs up more. My parents don't even know I have a boyfriend and I tell them rent is higher too so they also cough up more. In my defense my boyfriend and my parents are all really stupidly rich and I'm completely broke even without having to pay rent.

I always wanted to be a Texas cowgirl living on a ranch with loads of animals but I'm real pale and sunburn easy so I gave that idea up.

When I was 9 I had an imaginary pony called Clip-Clop.

>>1745151
Crazy ass bitch.

>>1745041
LOL not me.

i fell out of favor with the groups responsible for bringing me into the hi drama /cgl/culture and i work hard not for others acceptance,but just to regain favor and show i am not a cos fuck up,kinda ,FAMILY AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?!

>>1745169

No, you are not good enough.

I finally convince a girl I like to stay in my hotel room for Anime Boston this year right before I found out two of my friends didn't book rooms in time :\ Now I dread trying to figure out who stays.

I keep getting upset over stupid cosplay-related things, the biggest thing being people cosplaying from things I love despite being only barely familiar.

I'm normally "the more the merrier", but I guess it's happening so often now that it's kinda frustrating.

>>1745164
Batshit crazy whores? In cosplay? I don't believe it!

I have a group of cosplay friends who are all fun to hang around with, but I don't trust because they love to gossip. So when more then one of them started joking around that it seemed like I liked one of the guys in our group instead of being honest I straight up lied and said I don't see him that way. I felt like they weren't completely buying it though so I distracted them with tidbits of misleading info that there might be feelings between me and one of the other guys in our group that wasn't the guy that I actually have (some) feelings for. After a few weeks nobody was fooled anymore by that lie because of a really obvious reason that there couldn't be anything between us. Luckily I was able to cover my tracks yet again by convincing them there is another guy that I have an interest in outside of our cosplay group. I feel kind of shitty for lying so damn much but I really can't take the risk of the guy I secretly have (very mixed) feelings for finding out. It would fuck everything up, and our group is too fucking awesome to be fucked up because of something as trivial as my on again off again crush.

>>1745176
The girl you're trying to bang, obviously, and who cares about your 'friends, dumbshits should have booked their rooms months ago.

I get really competitive when I find out a well known cosplayer cosplayed or is making the same character as me. I'm not a well known cosplayer or anything, I do whatever I can to outdo them. I feel kind of bad because it seems stupid but at the same time it helps me make the costume as accurate as possible.

I found a way to get to Sakuracon but I found out too late to even BEGIN on a costume and for various reasons I can't wear any of my others.

I feel like I'm not going to have any fun if I don't cosplay.

I only have one friend interested in cosplaying, and every time we go to cons I take beautiful photos of her but her photographs of me are absolutely shitty. I just want one lovely photoshoot in my life but she can't deliver... I spend about half an hour taking awesome photos of her yet when it's my turn I get a few clicks and she's done.

What to do...

>>1745196
Many of my friends are not cosplaying. I always mock them for it, but, you know. Just teasing.

Why can't you just rewear cosplay?

Also, that's a lie. I haven't started one of my costumes yet. Just pick something you already have a wig/boots/whatever for. It takes a week to make a costume because people procrastinate but, unless its really elaborate or requires a prop... you can do it.

>>1745172
>>1745172
you are cruising for a cos bruis'in ,i just typed that.
whaaa why they always say that even with the masive empire,money,ugh

Well shameless bump for the night. I will see if its up in the morning.

>>1745199
1) The photos you take of her are not as good as you think they are.
2) If you want good photos, get a proper photographer. Retard.

I hate it when I see a costume I like and dont know the name of the character. I went to AX last year, and there was a pretty fuckin awesome Dr Stein, Only problem was, at he time the only episode of Soul Eater I saw was episode 1. Feel like an idiot for not knowing my animation.

I also find it impossible to hit on women is costume (well, women in general but thats besides the point.) You'd think the costume would be a good ice breaker,. but goddamn do I feel like a creep, and get parasnoid thinking that they think Im only talking to them because theyre dressed up like a character I like

>>1745199
Your friend kinda sucks. Try doing different poses, and suggesting different angles that she photograph from. If she still can't deliver, hire a photographer, or try to find an amateur photographer that will do it for free for practice. Also, try looking for local cosplay photography events, or setting up one yourself. Cosplay photographers always flock to those, so you should get a number of good shots from there.

i'm secretly a woman

>>1745224
Sup 4ng.

>>1745187 wow,just wow

My secret? I stopped lurking cgl a loooooooong time ago and got a life.

I am only here tonight because I got sent a link to some shitty thread.

Cosplay is not serious business. I don't know ANYTHING about any of the PRIVATE LIVES OF FAMOUS COSPLAYERS anymore, and wow, isn't real life so exciting? Haha.

A friend in my cosplay group has started picking the same characters as me. Every time she brags about how HER way of making something will be better, I want to punch her in the face.

>>1745238
Good for you, but just one question. If you're so "over /cgl," why did you click-through the link??? Obviously, the appeal is still there, or else you wouldn't have bothered.

>>1745238
No one knows about the private lives of cosplayers if they read about it on here.

>>1745243

Because..... my friend sent it to me? I'm not going to say, NO BITCH. I ain't clicking that shit! Omggggggggg. It's called being polite, silly bean. And I figured it was probably important to her, but LOL, here I am explaining myself to some random ass person on 4chan. Going to bed noooow.

>>1745251

Good. Gtfo, faggot.

>>1745151
>>My boyfriend doesn't know my parents help me with rent and I tell him rent is higher than it really is so he coughs up more. My parents don't even know I have a boyfriend and I tell them rent is higher too so they also cough up more. In my defense my boyfriend and my parents are all really stupidly rich and I'm completely broke even without having to pay rent.

You're a lying, manipulative bitch.

>>1745261
Dishonesty? IN THE COSPLAY COMMUNITY!?

I stand infront of the mirror making faces and poses for the people I want to cosplay hoping I can get it right or just somehow tell myself I can look or act enough like the character to pull it off.

I have a crush on someone I met via similar cosplays... but I can never admit it to them or even talk to them on my own outside of small messages here and there on the internet. I just wish them the best and happiness that I probably won't ever be able to offer ♥

was it you number one crush?

I know so much bad shit about a ton of cosplayers because they thought that I was trustworthy enough to not tell anyone else. To this day, I haven't uttered a peep, not even a single word about the ones who hate me now simply because I won't gain a damn thing from doing so. I do, however, feel ridiculously giddy thinking about how at least two of them constantly worry over me knowing all this stuff because it is damaging information.

There's something wrong with me, isn't there?

>>1745286
Power is attractive to all people. Considering you have the integrity to not tell even when you have so little to lose, I'd say there's a lot right with you.

>>1745286
Haha I do the same thing. Don't worry, enjoy your silent power trip.

>>1745275
You should talk to them and get to know them better as a friend, then proceed further if things seem to be going well. But not if they're already in a serious relationship. Don't touch that shit with a ten foot pole.

>>1745318
I'm doing my best to work my way out of my shell and do that. But it's nerve-wracking... I don't want to make them disinterested in me, but when it comes down to it I wouldn't mind leaving it just as a friendship if a relationship isn't something they desire.
...and yeah I could never do that. It's not in my nature... like I said, I just want them to be happy

>>1745332

Lesbian, huh?

>>1745335
surprisingly not!

I make sure to cosplay a character from something that all of the popular cosplayers around my area are doing in hopes of getting them to ask me to take pictures with them. I was finally asked to join their group and I declined out of fear that my costume won't be up to par with theirs. *sigh*

I spend hours in front of the mirror practising faces and poses for an awesome photoshoot, but when I end up going to said photoshoot I HERPDERP and do generic-ish kind of poses.

I'm not sure if I'm just too shy, or I just forget everything I practised in the heat of the moment or whatever.

>>1745392

I've done this too. When practicing, spend time NOT looking at yourself to aquire muscle memory, and then open your eyes to see how you look.

i lika the sex,fatties are cool ,sometimes

>>1744816
>>1744831
>>1744880

who's the artist of these pictures?

>>1744870
>>1744870
>>1744870
>>1744870
Same.

In addition, I wish my few real life friends gave half a shit about my cosplaying so I could do a decent photo shoots and not look like such a loser. Maybe if I had a couple photo shoots done, someone, somewhere would remark on my one really good cosplay and I could feel accomplished.

Each time my friends get posted here on /cgl/ I laugh and help bump the thread and add as much harmful information to it as I possibly can.

I like seeing their unreasonably large egos get taken down a notch or two.

I cosplay Death Note.

You know all that talk of cosplay sex, and random girls grabbing boy cosplayers on the butt?

I kinda wish that'd happen to me...

>>1746522
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

I'm Spartacus.

I hate both of them.

>>1744931
Don't pay his half PERIOD.
I've been there and done that and it's bullshit. Tell him to quit being a dipshit and to get his priorities straight because you're not going to cover him.
>>1745151
a job. Get one and actually learn how to be an independant adult.

>>1745286
haha! I'm in the same boat really. I know a little something about everyone in my area but I've not said anything.

I don't think I'd be all that sad if I never saw any of those drama ridden fucktards from my old con scene ever again.
I've been planning more and more cons where non of them would be at so I don't have to deal with them.

The last time I had sex -and quite a few time before that- it was with someone elses girlfriend ;_;
And the next time I have sex will most likely be with someone elses wife

I enjoy being a well known American cosplayer and the attention it brings, I don't even mind when my pictures are posted on here. As more often than not its in a positive light.

I laugh at people who think they know 'secrets' about me. I laugh because they can't, I don't tell anyone anything. I keep things superficial and friendly with everyone I meet.

In b4 'Your Miyu' etc.

It did show me just how far people will go to cause drama where there is non. Not sure as to the motivation for it.

Cute pic, OP.
I think my costumes always suck BUT I am SO much prettier than the girl I cosplay with most of the time. And she's a total bitch but I'd never tell her.

I want to do skimpy costumes just so he'll tell me not to. And because I want to show him I'm not the little girl he thinks I am and if he's going to ignore me because I'm not innocent enough then I'm going to be the opposite.

Makes NO sense to ANYONE but whatever.

>>1745400
>>1745392
Theses really apply to me. I'm not that bad looking but sometimes unplanned poses come out disastrous

I really worry about how the internet and others would perceive me in costume

>>1746602
And I don't want his attention I just want to see him pissed off because his misery now makes me happy.

>>1746612
Stalker-chan is that you?

>>1746602
Hahaha oh wow, enjoy being a whore because your daddy was never interested in you
