>>1818283
oh god yes I love these

OH EXPLOITABLE

Half-assed but so true for me.

I will participate with one I made a long time ago.

and a new one I made just now.

I've stopped buying things at cons.

>>1818320
OH MY GOD, THIS. FFFFFF

>>1818336
FFFFFFFFFFF AGREED D:< the last time i got anything at a con was sakura con and that was something someone bought for me, and the time before that was probably PMX 07. fuck shopping, I have eBay >:[

>>1818320
HAHA! FUCKING TRUE!

happens all the time.

>>1818336
Ah, shit. Agreed, sorta.

Revoltech shit and awesome hats have never been purchases I regret.

>>1818368
That's why you must train your body to control such bodily functions so that you never sneeze, cough, hiccup, or whatever other odd things you do that'll be caught. About to smile? Train your body to do so in a milisecond, least you look like a retard. Habeeb it.

>>1818385
I live in San Jose, so I have the opportunity to go to Fanime for the first time, but I wonder if when I go, I'll just be really disenchanted with the whole thing. I'm not fanatical about video games or anime. It's probably not even likely that I will get laid, either.

>>1818320
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

V:<

>>1818541
haaahaah

>>1818541
I know this problem!
Often I wear this on my ass or something... lol

>>1818541
Captaiiiinnnnn sad

>>1818562
i try to find inventive ways, stuffing it into my pocket but have it clipped on, for sakuracon i had my badge on the inside of my Ryu Gi and Kamina pants for easy access but still hidden so i wouldn't have to deal with taking it off or moving it constantly

>>1818320
FFFFUUU GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT

>>1818562
>>1818568
OP is wearing the badge on his pocket in the picture though. Con staff said it HAD to be around his neck. How retarded!

>>1818609
we realized that, we're explaining what we do with our badges regardless of staff yellings but yes it is retarded for staff to whine like that

>>1818609
Happened to me at Comic Con. I would just sling it around my neck so it hung down the back for pictures. It worked for a awhile before some jackass got the idea to YANK on it. left a nasty rope burn.

>>1818609
Not in my pocket. At my waist on my side, the way I wear it at all cons, no matter what costume I'm wearing. For CF, I would wrap the lanyard around my belt and it would hang about where my gun holster would be.

But fucking Kumori Con. The staff were seriously fucking badge nazis. You couldn't replace the lanyard with a clip-on badge holder, you HAD to wear the BRIGHT FUCKING BLUE LANYARD they gave you AND it had to be AROUND your fucking neck in full view. They specifically said it could NOT be obstructed by anything, tucked into anything, hid behind things, etc.

AT
ALL
TIMES

Fuck that I said. Fucking kept it on my belt anyway. And scanned it to make a badge for my ladyfriend too. Row row fight da powah.

>>1818635
Ah, I said ON, not in. :) I can see it at your hip in the picture. That's bloody ridiculous that it has to be worn like that at all times. I've worked staff at cons before and we never cared where they were as long as we could see them when we needed to.

(sorry if this shows up a million times, getting errors)

>>1818649


oh my god
I'd be so angry :(
I'm going to AN, I'd love to see a Daicon IV bunnygirl <3

>>1818641
...I can hear the music coming from that image.

>>1818651
I'm planning on getting a proper one made in time, no worries.I'd made the suit a few years earlier, and had forgotten what a travesty it was....

>>1818385

I was gonna repost this, but I might just have to make a new one now

>>1818736

REAL HISTORY

>>1818746
Yes, and that's the sad part.

>>1818738
i had a feeling it'd be yours

>>1818736
Now I feel bad for always cosplaying easy things.

SO.
MANY.
TIMES.

SakuraCon 2009 presented in TECHNICOLOR

>>1818772
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF if that was my Glowing Katana, I'd run after him and kill the fag

>>1818781
He disappeared into a glomp circle. And I'm really bad at recognizing faces. He was gone by the time I had surveyed the damage.

Still angry about it. I'm almost done fixing them.

>>1818368
>>1818336

Hi Derp

>>1818772
D< Hate people who do that.
Same thing - only they were a Kiba - with red paint that smeared on my top. -v-

>>1818789

THIS. Especially when it's a fairly revealing costume. Then I go OH GOD THEY'RE FAPPING TO IT AREN'T THEY

>>1818772

INACCURATE

>>1818772
>>1818796
Fucking people who ruin shit.

I actually let this kid hold a prop, he ended up swinging it and it exploded on impact, in return he got hit with some shrapnel that was inside so he got his just desserts.

>>1818809
I wish you'd give me my just desserts.

>>1818810
I'd fly kick a rapist for an ice cream sandwich, myself.

>>1818810
well first i gotta make dinner!

>>1818810
stalker chan, i missed you!

THIS
it happened to me a bunch of times at one convention

>>1818836
But...no one likes Nia...

>>1818838
I disagree, but whatever.

>>1818819
MAKE SOME FOR ME TOO PLZ

>>1818838

Nia to my kid sister is Barbie to every girl that grew up in the nineties. She's re-watched TTGL six times now, and only for Nia and the giant robot battles.

Aaaaaaah, to be seven years old.

>>1818840

WOAH. SEXY ALERT~

>>1818840
what kind of person would i be if i didn't D:

>>1818847
sup.

>>1818838
I just don't like short haired Nia. She looks weird.

I'm so sick and tired of this happening to me, even when I take extra care to cut out the patterns exactly and use the correct seam allowances and wtf why do I apparently fail so hard at patterns wtfffffff.

not exactly /cgl/ related but true story all the same.
god damn. This was at AX...

>>1818904

I've been known to pin and repin edges four or five times in an attempt to get everything lined up. Last year I made a skirt that consisted of two pattern pieces, each cut out twice and stitched together. Everything lined up perfectly on one side but was out by an inch or two on the other - and yes, I did cut the pieces out through two layers of fabric so they were all identical and I did try swapping the pieces around - same result.

I swear fabric follows its own rules of physics sometimes.

i'll just save you guys the trouble

When you sew something on wrong, then resew it the same way. I do this so much.

>>1818802
Yeah because you were fucking there. whatever i'm roo drunk to even wast time o you righgt now.

prepare for the shitstorm, anon

>>1818836

Proof cosplay = for the attention

>>1818789
It happens to me everytime.

>>1818789
I never publish most of my pictures to the web unless I know the person likes to have them posted or I see them semi-regularly posted to /cgl/ or coscom, otherwise it's just unleashing a lot crap at a fairly innocent person. Additionally you never know what websites they do and don't check.

If you want to see your pictures taken it never hurts to ask a photographer who looks like they know what they're doing (i.e., someone without a cellphone or pocket camera or at least looks fairly handsome) and ask them if they could send the pictures to you, exchange email addresses or such.
Just be sure to make up a junk email to give out just for this purpose and make it simple to write down or remember. "SailormoonOtakon@whatever.com"

>>1819013
What

Truth.

Something I made about my friends irl.

>>1818919
lolwut

>>1818795
go away

>>1818840
nice uh... nail polish??

I'm on a roll

>>1819071
I hate you for thinking you can use your tits and ass to get your way :| I hope your vagina falls out.

>>1819075
Actually it was my friend who did that. Funny thing #2 is that she has a boyfriend who was at the con with her

MOAR

not even 5 feet into the hotel.

>>1819076
Sounds like business as usual for any good looking lady person.

>>1818772
true story.

>>1819089

That's why you bolt that motherfucker onto the harness with a bigass bolt, a couple nuts, a few washers and a whole lot of GAR.

>>1819089
>hot glue
I lol'd.

>>1819113
yeah, you learn the facts of cosplay the hard way when you're 14.

>>1819063
I would've recognized you. ;_;

And this.. This is why Im gonna avoid dealerrooms from now on. Im too nice to say no to all the expensive shit.

>>1818802
It's true, I was there.

>>1818336

Fuck, I remember buying these adorable bunny stickers from an artist alley for like $1 each even though the fucking things were maybe half inch tall and looked like they just printed them all off at once and were cut out by Michael J. Fox. I get home to give them to my mom when she realizes that I didn't buy stickers... they were just fucking cardboard cutouts. $1 for a cum stain of paper, man. Fuck artists.

>>1819142
You know the best thing to do in that situation? Just before you arrive at the con, take some of your cash, and put it in the pocket of something you wont wear 'til the last day, and forget that money ever existed.
Last day comes around.
Suddenly I'm twenty quid richer! And I thought I spent the last of my cash on that Lelouch figma.... :3

>>1819142
>kittan trading figure
FUCK THAT I SHELLED OUT THE $10 FOR IT IT'S SO FRIGGIN HARD TO FIND HGGHJJFGFGHJffffffffff

>>1819147
You've got some fault too, bro. You need to keep an eye out for that shit.

>>1819156

Yeah, I also paid sticker price on the last 2 issues of Pita-Ten I needed. I actually handed the fucker $40 before realizing what I did. I tried my best to bullshit that I needed the money back, but of course he wasn't letting it go. I paid more for that than I did for the rest of the manga. I'm such a fag.

>>1819155
>invlaid

>>1819155
I dont have any trouble finding it D: On eBay and .. Stuff like that. Not to mention that all of the tradingfigures at the con beside the Gurren Lagann ones, costed $5. I didnt expect it to be so expensive. ;_;

>>1819154
Yea I know thats a good idea :< Actually I had told myself I wouldnt buy ANYTHING at the con. But my friends insisted on going to the dealers room. I just couldnt resist. My own fault, I know. But I still raged a bit afterwards.

Tons, fucking tons of times.

>>1819160
fuck my dyslexia ffffffffffffffffff
god I'm just going back to sleep.

>>1819142
I feel the same way sometimes, I've just gotten myself to say something like, "Oh man, I don't have enough," and then I don't feel as bad. It's even worse when it's at an Artist's table, and you can see the hope in their eyes ;_;

>>1819150
Fuck Yaoi fanbrats. Seriously.

;_;

>>1819175
wtf lol
Thats hard!

>>1819075
As a tourneyfag I'd have to say there's nothing wrong with this. She was just using trying to use mindgames to get some better spacing.

>>1819150
HAHAH. I had some girl yell at me when I was cosplaying Nami because she "got in the way of ZoroxSanji".

She was morbidly obese and smelled of old cheddar. <3

>>1819175
Now with friends added.

>>1819175
???

>>1819193
how did it appear in all the photos from behind the photographers?

>>1819196

Despite my best efforts, several photos wound up having it in the background anyway, because pictures were being taken from all angles, all day. :(

>>1819193

That is so true.

I fucking love m.o.v.e
;(

>>1819162
thisthisthisthisthisthisthisthis

It was like they came all at once. If it had just been the girl, I would've asked her to stop screaming.

>>1819193
I hate when that happens. D:

>>1819172
Exactly. ;_; Artist's table's, and dealers that dont get any customers.. I avoid those like the plague. You can just see in their eyes that YOU will be the one who will save their weekend if you buy their expensive crap.

>>1819239
>>1819172
That's why I don't go in that direction. I just can't stand seeing the potential tears in their eyes. I WANT TO HELP YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR WORK BUT DAMNED IF I HAVE THE MONEY TO SHOW APPRECIATION THROUGH MONETARY MEANS.

EVERY GODDAMMED TIME!

I swore from that day on I wouldn't greet random people.

>>1819259
This is why every skit contest needs a fan favorite category. The pussy judges know they'll get lynched if they don't give the popular retarded "performance" an award, even if they can tell it required zero effort.

>>1819272
This.

>>1819259
I HOPE this NEVER happens to me. I'd rage 'til no end.

>>1818919
OMFG KILL IT WITH FIRE

>>1819261
FFFFFFFUUUU I may have thought to stab them if it were me.

>>1819280

I've seen this bullshit happen at least 3 different times.

>>1819280
As a former con judge that had soem idea what the hell he was doing, I say give up. It will happen. You'll invariably come across that one con where the Masq. director doesn't have the good sense to ban dance skits or non canon yaoi, does it because no one else on the staff bothers, or gets guests to judge skits.

Here's another one from me. It happened actually.. Just now.

I raged hard. This is why I should not befriend animefans on Facebook, that I dont know.

>>1819272
One con the Masquerade director told us we HAD to give a certain entry Best of Show because otherwise the audience would riot even though all of us felt their construction was inferior and there were better performances. I have NEVER wished so hard for a fan favorite award to give out.

>>1819337
That's utter bullshit. >:|

I AM CURRENTLY RAGING OVER THIS

RAGE IN REAL TIME

>>1819397

Oh my god.
Oh my godohgodohgod.
that decsribes 90% of my life.
I fucking rage'd.

>>1819410
Well it's 3:43 PM here and we'll be done wrapping up in the next ten or so minutes.

Still worth going? Socal Cosplay goes 'til 6, and I don't know anyone (was hoping to make some connections).

I will be very upset if this happens again.

>>1819433

Punch her in the ovaries.
Do it now.

>>1819439
Ehhhhhhn. I have ways of keeping her in her costume in future. No need to resort to violence.

>>1819441
your way of keeping her in costume can also include kicking or punching her in the ovaries

keep that in mind

>>1819259
Oh man. Something similar happened once at the con I was at. There was a KH sketch where Roxas was frenchkissed by Either Axel or Jack Sparrow(both of them were in the skit).
I knew it was pretty much settled when I almost went deaf from hearing all those fangirls scream.

>>1819065

Never. ILU <3

>>1819462
Someone should do a skit that just totally burns those kind of morons.

>>1819458
Hahaha, noted. Noted. I will keep that in mind.

Probably applies to a lot of people

>>1819433
I'd cuntpunt her so hard. Not only did she have you make her costume, but she chose a hard one? Bitch.

>>1819494
I offered to make her costume, so there should be no cuntpunting for that. Really, the only thing I was truly upset about was her not wearing it for long. All the work would've been worth it if she kept it on for a buncha pictures.

True story, happened to a friend of a friend of mine.

>>1819498
Holy shit I raged

dsiodadiajklcnbeuiwcvhui fuckkkkkkkkkkk

>>1819498
What sort of job would be against having the useful seamstress and posing skills?

>>1819506

I was applying for helping with animation courses run through the City of Ottawa. I knew they were picky with personal history, but I didn't think cosplaying would hurt my reputation THAT badly.

>>1819498
Oh god people actually do that what the fuck

>>1819498
lol

>>1819498
How did they even find out?

>>1819498
This is why you don't put your real name on your cosplay stuff ever. Lots of employers google applicants and don't want anyone that has hobbies that aren't mainstream.

>>1819522

That's the thing, I don't. I didn't even put Noriko on my Cosplay.com account, but they somehow found my other cosplays (which weren't revealing, I was cosplaying guys mostly and Nuriko was my first female cosplay) offensive.

>>1819498

My boss has Master Chief pyjamas. She can't judge me for SHIT.

>>1819498
Google <some assholes> name, reply to e-mail with snarky comment regarding their hobbies. Fair is fair.

>>1819535

My manager wears Wii boxers. He can't judge me either.

>>1819498
My sympathy, for real. That is shitty.
>>18194909
Me and my friend is doing this currently. She works all the time on costumes and is working hard right now, probably. I go visit her on Sundays and Tuesdays to help her as much as I can. It sucks to be the only one doing costumes, so, I am learning to sew to try to help her.

>>1819542
Second one was supposed to be this.
>>1819490

>>1819498
That's awesome.

I just absolutely love that the MySpace/Facebook generation (of which I am a part but in which I do not participate) continue to fuck themselves like this.

Happened to me not 3 hours ago...

Seamripper ahoy...

Awesome thread is awesome.

>>1819498

OMG I've always been so freakin' paranoid about this.

>>1819498
what the CHRIST JESUS. Did you have your real name linked to your cosplay stuff? I just googled my full name + cosplay and nothing came up, so....

I wish I were allowed to reply to things like this with "DON'T BE A FUCKING DOUCHEBAG, DOUCHEBAG"

>>1819588

The sad thing is, I've come across this. Not in this exact form, but some people are just such idiots.

at least the only shitty parts were covered up. Still, it was pretty disappointing for being official army surplus

>>1819507
On the plus side, I think you oughtta be damn pleased with yourself for doing Noriko. Seriously awesome stuff.

>>1819552
That's why my security on Facebook is at an absolute maximum. Even my own cousins can't find me on there.
>>1819588
Are you a moderator or something? Why would someone come to you to ask that?

>>1819307
As a con judge, I take great joy in giving those skits giant 0s for a score, and then moving on. Good dance skits are my favorite, but yeah. Good dance skits are few and far between.

btw 3rd pannel is not what you think it is hahaha

>>1818842
>>Nia to my kid sister is Barbie to every girl that grew up in the nineties.
>>every girl that grew up in the nineties
>>grew up in the nineties
>>nineties

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUU

>>1819635
oh, and god i feel old right now.

>>1818838
I liek Nia she is funny

>>1818651
There was a Daicon IV bunnygirl at Anime North 2003. It wasn't especially good. Hot, but not especially good.

>>1819071
You'd have to be a pretty damn ugly girl to not be able to convince them to let you skip ahead. Smelly video gamer types at cons are pretty desperate. Your friend's BF just didn't have the heart to tell her the truth.

>>1819142
You're a pussy. It's fine to not buy something after asking the price. In fact, you can and should haggle, especially on Sunday.

>>1819535
I totally want Master Chief pyjamas.

So....GROSS

>>1819669
>You'd have to be a pretty damn ugly girl to not be able to convince them to let you skip ahead.

Linda true although some of them are jaded -like me- or socially retarded -like me- and would tell a pretty girl to sling her hook anyway

>>1819678
Damn, it's like having terrible friends is a requirement for posting on this damn board.

>>1819678
If I could draw, I'd do a rage comic about the flipside of this, but I can't so you'll have to settle for a wall of text.

>>1819819
Goddamnit, researching. I'm too damn lazy to change it now, though.

>>1819490
that is me.
5 days from now is the con, and FFFUUU

>>1818952
whats her name again? I'm new to /cgl/

>>1819840
bump

Demanding moar.

>>1819259

Fuck, I hate that shit, too. That always happens when they bring on guest judges.

not mine but lulz

Sumeragi = Tieria????

One of the reasons I hardly ever cosplay Naruto anymore.

>>1819989
Shit, I lol'd hard.

>>1819995
Really?
...
Really?!?! How was that fu...?
...
Really?

That's when you throw the Naruto sub's at their face.

>>1820005
I'm sorry, I know it's terrible. It's just...other people's misfortunes and frustrations are kinda funny.

That is pretty bad, though. I mean, it's the character that was largely responsible for giving everyone the ever-adored Kakashi, and then he gets called an OC.

>>1820006

He's not even in the anime. Well, he's shown in a picture in Kakashi's room, but he looks nothing like he does in the manga.

>>1820010
They never animated Kakashi gaiden? Wow, that's a bummer.

>>1819840
Miyu.

>>1819295

i can't unsee japan as sasuke now.

>>1820007
Yeah, other people's misfortunes and frustrations are funny, but that was a retarded reason to rage to begin with. Plus, it seemed like a bullshit story anyway.

Chances are, you're the moron who posted it.

Fuck this. Where are more REAL rage-worthy comics?

>>1820031
No, no, I really wasn't the one who posted it. Honest.

Just easily amused, I guess.

>>1820031

I'm the one who posted it. I apologize that it wasn't 'rage-worthy' enough. It was a long time ago and at the time, it annoyed me very much. *shrugs*

>>1820031
HELLLLO.

No need to get worked up. Some people have different senses of humor.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, working on a totally friendly non-hateresque one. So keep your panties on.

>>1820024

. . . . Are you SERIOUS?

ITT = samefag pretending to be different people

There was a con where they were selling these shirts. Assholes making money from others meme's.

>>1820050
Them fuckers was brilliant.

>>1820046
YES THIS REALLY HAPPENED.
I kind of slid away with a look of "WTF". Pic related.

Also, this.

>>1820050
make a shirt of this

Over a hundred hours in MS Paint.

The teenager was dressed as a maid. It only looks like a baby bonnet.

AWWW it's autosaging!

but i made a new picture :D

>>1820010
>>1820007
>>1820006
>>1819989
>>1820005
>>1819995
I lol'd pretty hard too, did they really never adapt that into an episode of the anime? that was some of the better naruto chapters ever, which isn't saying alot, but still, even just to show how stone cold the 4th was... anyways, sorry to hear bro, perhaps some sort of two-face styled half crushed zombie Obito is in order?

>>1820106
lol srs? This can't be real.. that's such a random thing to say.. what a conceited bitch though if true.

>>1820114
It's possible that she actually gets those comments a lot from weeaboos if she really resembles that character so much.

>>1818939
>>1818939

>>1819328
Lol i don't think Liuwina is going to be all happy about that.

Aww. I kind of want this thread archived.

>>1820119
omg, yes. I was waiting for someone to post an "Everything turned out better than expected" so I could make this.
