That sounds pretty terrible. Next time, I would just apologize quickly and duck the fuck out of there. Nature's calling>photos

I had a similar experience at Otakon 2011. My roommate hooked up with some girl and she was giving him head in our hotel room bathroom. I went up to our room to take a shit but when I got there, bathroom door was locked. I banged on it and yelled I have to take a huge shit get the fuck outta there. Roommate tells me to hold up, he is busy in there. I tell him if he does not come out right now I will fucking shit in his luggage. He comes out with a girl, girl has semen dripping from her mouth.

I remember having my hotter older sister as my cosplay partner. We did Panty and Stocking with me as Stocking and her as Panty. People kept asking for her pics and never mine....Feels bad.

I heard on /cgl/ that someone got period seepage from another girl on their cosplay at Otakon this year.

>>4845797
I am going to take this as advice never to cosplay with either of my sisters.

I would've ran D:

I totally saw you there too! =P
your costume was awesome ^-^

>>4845835
It depends on your priorities. If it is to get pictures taken of yourself and your sisters are hotter than you, that is sound advice. If you are just there to have fun in your costume, it's alright to cosplay with them.

Once I shat myself right when my photo was being taken.

/cgl/ congoers always strike me as the most genetically feeble people ever based on these threads.

I got attacked by a group of little girls at Anime Matsuri 2011... Yelling that they "Found the Assassin!" They tore my hard worked leather spaulder off and toppled me to the ground, and I coulda swore one was rubbing herself indecently on my arm... Never again, am I keeping my hood up when I cosplay Ezio...

Don't get me wrong. She is a very good friend. It just sucks going to convention with her. It's like she becomes a whole 'nother person if you go with her instead of meeting her there.

Reminds me of Akicon 2010...
Two days after coming out of the hospital. Realized midway through the first day that I did NOT have the energy for that kind of thing. I laid in the arm chairs in the front lobby most of the weekend, weakly making conversation with my friends that stopped by to make sure I didn't die or something.

might as well:
>Fanime 11

>most of the arrangements were done by our president
>get to convention on Day 0 only to find out we have no hotel room
>not enough money on any of us to buy temp room til they got things sorted out
>stay in the gaming hall for over 26 hours
>every few hours we're told that the president is trying to fix it but we get absolutley no results
>president gets to spend that same 26 hours at home resting in his bed while we don't sleep
>i have a nervous breakdown and almost kill everything will crying [and pmsing]
>rest of the convention was less than exciting because everyone either slept to make up for the first night or was extra bitchy because of it

next year, i'm buying my own hotel room. sucks because if he would've just said something a week before, my friend could have covered the difference and we wouldn't have been in that mess. but nooo, he just had to be all prideful and shit...still wanna punch him.

The con was good till about then, but good stuff happened after that. My friend slept and I hung out with friends I met at the con and played ddr and rock band till about six am and slept till nine in the game room then went home.

Now, a few months later, I'm back with my ex girlfriend, and my best friend is back with her ex boyfriend and we're both happy. I'm actually purposing to my girlfriend soon.

HEY. They were hanging with me all day, they should've known too....

ACen 08
I got to the con around 5 maybe. Half an hour this dude I met twice started talking to me and jumped in line behind me. I couldn't think of his name at the time so he turned around and started making friends with people behind us. A few hours in, this "lolita" starts lifting up her skirt, letting guys take panty shots, and kissing some female. My acquaintance grabs me and tries to make me join them. I tell him to piss off. "Aaw~! You're like an angry kitten~." I push him off and try to deal with the lolita's whining and my growing headache. Just my luck that this year was also Linecon. I didn't get out of the badge line until 11, basically missing all of Friday.

>>4846701

Day 2. I told my roommates that the last shuttle to our hotel ends at midnight. Leader of the room tells me his sister agreed to pick us up after the rave. 3AM rolls around and dude tells me and his friend that his sister reneged on that. The hotel isn't far by car, but estimated time to walk is 45 minutes down the highway. I tell them we should just take that way, but they want to take the route the shuttle took since it was a "shortcut"/ We ended up sneaking around random hotels to find the shuttle route. Meanwhile dude's friend is twirling around glowsticks and shouting like a fool, attracting the attention of hotel workers and security. Room leader (who will be RL) suggests we cut through some forest looking area to get to the highway. At 3 something in the morning. I tell them I will walk back on my own, but they decide walking the route I suggested earlier would work. The sun was almost up by the time we got there thanks to us just not heading straight there. The sister got pissy when we walked in like it was our fault she didn't pick us up and told us to sleep. I hadn't slept Friday night so I was dog tired. It didn't matter though since we had to get up in like 3 or 4 hours to pack and checkout. No ACen since has been this absolutely shitty.

Although this didn't happen then, the following Monday, dude I couldn't remember showed up to meet some friends at my school. I remembered his name then and wanted to apologize. His way of accepting was to wrap his hand around my neck and try to choke me.

>>4846794
What the hell was wrong with him? Bad day or not, if he's gonna be a huge raging cunt he shouldn't fucking cosplay and go to cons, seriously.

Being meguca truly is suffering.

But yeah, I experienced something similar, though not quite as dire. When you're cosplaying something popular or you're in a coordinated group (or worse, both) it tends to take a while to get anywhere.

>>4846888

And calling others faggots. I mean...talk about a faggy outfit.

>>4846861
Much less be cosplaying a character with a weenie ponytail wearing a midriff-baring leather vest on top of tight leather pants.

>>4846890
...maybe he was being satirical

seriously though who does that

>>4845797
It's okay, I am the ugly sister. The 18 yearold has amazing facial structure, like cheek bones to die for, full lips, and a very eastern European jaw line. The 11 year old is a mini brown version of Kim Kardashian (booty and all), the 8 year old is a mini version of Rihanna, and he'll even my brother is prettier then me he's a mix of my 18 year old sister and Obama. And Iook like Raven when she was still fat, only lighter.

Though when I did cosplay with my sister more people wanted pictures of me. I think it's because she is 6'4". If she was fit she would be a pretty kickass Samus.

Why the fuck would you only drink a smoothie all day and then go to a concert? That's so intelligent.

Here’s a horror story that doesn’t include bodily fluids except tears, and is far too long.

>Convention 1 week after finishing 10 minute film/dissertation for year 3 of uni
>Dating 2 girls in a poly relationship but things have gotten awkward because one of them’s crazy
>Girlfriend 2 decides to go hang with confriends while everyone else goes back to where we’re staying, but I’m entering the masq so I’ll just pick her up on the way home
>Masq is delayed by an hour, but eventually get out and head over
>Emotional moment as I get her to help me cut of the hip length hair I’ve had since I was five to start my transition to male
>She then decides she doesn’t want to come back. Compromise is drawn – she’ll come back at the end of Eurovision
>I head back to find my friend has two costumes to finish. Again.
(Cont)

>>4847147

>After a while, girfriend 2 isn’t back. We call her, then call around, and eventually find that she’s left confriends (or got them to lie to cover her arse). Wait an hour to check she isn’t on her way, then panic.
>Girlfriend 1 and I go to wait at the bus stop to get out of the sewing panic and so I can talk to her. Basically say it’s her or me, and she picks her.
>Buses have stopped, so we go back and ring the police, thinking she might have run away again
>Ten minutes after that she calls. Somehow ended up on the other end of the city
>At this point I give in and crawl into bed with everyone else to get away from the crazy
>Next day my epilepsy is going haywire because of stress/lack of sleep so I end up changing out of the couple cosplay that I was meant to be doing with girlfriend 1 into a causal but canon Hetalia cosplay
>Suddenly awkwardness everywhere
>The Legend of Tosstria happens

>Drag girlfriends off to a more private place where I can end it then head home for some proper rest.

Ex girlfriend 1 and 2 are a horror story all of their own, really. They’ve continued to make drama for the year since, though they moved away recently which made things a bit better. But that whole convention was awful, and I don’t think I’ve ever been so pleased to get home after one.

I think 'worst con experience' was from early evening Friday of Otakon this year, the Hetalia shoot mainly.
It was fairly miserable outside in my five layers and hardware for Steampunk Austria. This wouldn't be bad, since at the last con shoot I'd gone to had been fairly efficient and had called Austria right after the popular characters. However, my friend running the shoot was a couple of minutes late, and in that time a few girls I vaguely know wrangled power of the shoot. They couldn't project their voices, they were dithering around, and all together nobody wanted to listen to them them apparently, as it took my friend to show up.
So I figured, well, I'm a bit hot, I'll just stay for the character shoot and go back. Then one of the girls pulled out a list and started calling off characters... except... it... took... forever... After they got passed the popular characters, I expected they'd be calling Austria, who incidentally is overdressed even when I'm not making a stupid alt design. But... then they went to Hong Kong and scores of other fairly insignificant, more weather-appropriate characters. Right when they yelled for Taiwan, I realized I was a bit lightheaded. I began to stagger back up the steps to the skywalk to get back to the con center, and stumbled. I was very lucky my friends were nearby and helped me get back to the con, or else I would have honestly fainted out there.
Then there was a brief, obligatory inferiority-complex attack that tend to rise up when I'm around stellar costumers, and this was in conjunction with temporarily losing my Habsburg flag. Thankfully, by the end of the night, pretty much everything was solved, I was not suffering from heatstroke, an I made a friend who let me borrow femme Dave, which was probably the most fun I'd ever had in a costume.

All around, that con sucked.

And for some reason it dropped my name. That's weird.

Anyway, long story short, don't be an idiot and go to outdoor shoots in thick layers with metal against your skin[remind me to pick up black gloves for AUSA], especially for giant, disorganized, fandoms. Because that was incredibly stupid of me.

And I am going to get the godammed Hetalia shoot up to the 4th floor next year. The outdoor fountains are the worst place near the center you could do a shoot, especially a big one, and especially with the construction.

I live 30 minutes outside of Boston, so I drive in to Anime Boston every day. But 2 years ago, my car bailed, so a couple of my carpoolers and I had to get a ride with this other girl. Never again.

>She's beyond butthurt, she couldn't find a plush she wanted, there are no panels from series she likes (She's only watched like 5 anime, I don't even know why she went to the con), and no one wants photos of her closet OC cosplay.
>The rest of us tell to come to dinner, and we'll pay for her, as a way of saying thanks.
>NOPE
>Announces she's leaving then and there because in her words, "the con is crap." (AB is the largest and most popular con for hours around)
>Say fine, we'll just take the T.
>Other friends NOPE. since we're all girls between 16-18 and they don't feel comfortable taking the T in their cosplays after one of them got groped AB 2009.
>End up forced to leave on a Saturday at 5:45.
>Miss every panel, photoshoot, video I wanted to see.
>Not able to come back on Sunday because driving "friend" is religious, apparently, and it's Easter.

Biggest waste of money ever. We also politely declined to give her a ride to the con this year as pay back for the whole fiasco.

No, I was not banned. The chair and I have a horrible past set of relationships with one another. I most likely would not have been kicked out, but in my head I had this childish mentality that if he knew I'd shown up at the event he'd essentially "win".

>>4850811
Yeah, but those big homestuck troll gatherings just seem a bit... odd, borderline creepy. Like I can't shake off the feeling that this many people with facial paint and horns also go to cons with people from obscure MMOs that have deer antlers and hooves and are some kind of modern minotaur.

It's too weird, man. Too weird.

>>4850948
That sounds annoying, I'm surprised you didn't break up with her first.

>>4850843

I know who you are....Fuuuuuuu-

>>4854654
Why would you be crying hysterically just because someone ditched your friend? I don't get it.

Nothing major, just a lot of stress from Otakon this year from hotel shenanigans to roommate angst.

Funny how you can end up at odds with friends after rooming with them.

>>4854757
You...do?

Because I don't think I know you, not from what I found from googling your name, broseph.

>>4854654
so wait

the scariest moment of your life was getting a call that one of your friends had a fight with her boyfriend?

are you shitting me

>>4854758
>>4854800

I was actually concerned for the fact that she was in an unspecified hotel room by herself, crying, and I had no idea where she actually was or whether or not she was all right, and that she was reacting that way to something as simple as her boyfriend ditching her.

Also
>and embarrassing
I think you pricks missed the part where I admitted I was acting foolish.

At a local first year convention in my area just recently

> wearing lolita
> literally can not go anywhere without being stopped for seventeen photos
> no photos of myself ever show up online, even a month afterward

What the fuck even happened here?

>>4855378
I think we all know that feel.

>>4855378
That's pretty normal.

>>4855378
>>4855391
>>4855414
A lot of us just don't post them. I take 3000-odd photos a convention and post maybe 50-100. The rest get marked as "I don't like it (because something went wrong/does not meet my photographic standards/etc)."

Should have puked on the stupid bitch.

Not a super horror story, and in hindsight the irony of it all makes me laugh, but still.

>fucking tired and pissy by the time I get down
>somehow this is all my fault again

I ended up getting crap about how their feet hurt and they were tired of waiting since morning and had to apologize multiple times.

>another friend loses purse, can't stay in her hotel
>offer to let her room with us
>she's close to one of the two that came early
>"Well, I'm tired from walking around all day, so one of you should go instead."
>he forces someone else in our group who isn't all too familiar with the purse girl or LA to walk out to get her

And then the hotel guys figured out we were room stuffing so we needed to pitch in for an extra room. And some people refused to pay the difference. It was dumb. Just going to go with two or three friends next time.

>>4855449
And then ran away while she was confused and puke-covered.
Conveniently she'd still be at the sink to help fix her wig, along with the rest of her clothing!

>Get invited to Anime Expo by a friend
>She can't take half an hour to call the other people driving cross country with her to see if they're still in.

>Over exert or pull something so my legs are in constant pain
>Bitch still won't help
>Pain gets worse
>Meanwhile, the two of them cover the hotel room in roofing tar trying to finish a costume while fussing over others.
>Out of the 8 costumes they brought, only 3 get worn.
>She then tries to charge $300 for my share of the room

Fuck you
Other than that, I had a pretty good time.

FF recently assumed I would carting her ass to a local con, and I did, but only after she actually asked and paid for gas. Never offering for another con.

Should have got some Ice Cold Wutah

Had numerous cons where they've been relatively unpleasant. This year I was supposed to attend Animethon 18 with numerous people. All bailed. I get to go alone (again). Make it to con on friday after dodging the shitload of road construction -constantly- going on in Edmonton. Make it to front desk, had pre-regged, all should be good. They tell me pre-regs get their room keys, etc. at the con venue. I walk all the way over to the con venue. They claim to not have gotten my registration (AGAIN; Same thing happened last year). SO, I have to trek all the way back over to the residence. <cont>

>>4855834

Stand in line for half hour while unbelievable amount of senseless dicking around by receptionists goes on (there were -two- people in front of me). Finally make it to room- they've given me a dibbly room for wheelchair users/midgets. Everything is fucking short. Mirror in bathroom is at chest-level. Perfect for cosplay preparations. Yep. Put on all my excessive layers of costume (cosplaying Zack Fair); all in heavy black knit and cargo material, resin armour, pleather, etc. Go to con. As usual, NO air-conditioning to be had -anywhere-. Sweat like a motherfucking pig. <cont>

>>4855838

Wander con getting pictures taken, have to sit down often. People taking pictures have unreasonable requests; 'POSE MORE DYNAMICALLY' (wasn't able to bring my Buster Sword, not much I can do), 'DO ZACK'S FAMOUS SQUATS' (can't move at the waist; strapped into a number of bindings, what with being a crossplayer) 'DO A BARREL ROLL' (wut?). Etc, etc. Have few people talk to me as people alone at cons are apparently sub-human. Even those cosplaying FF7 as well are on a whole unwilling to meet-and-greet (save a few- thank-you). Last as long as I can but in pain from uncomfortable costume and thus return to the residence. <cont>

>>4855842

Can't fucking sleep because con-goers are shrieking and crashing into paper-thin walls long beyond 5:00 in the morning. Jesus. Day 2 follows the same; back in Zack cosplay, wandering. Happen by chance to find ideal place to lounge and yet be visible for people wanting pictures. Grab the spot. Minutes later, group of 'special' people come by. They sit in places next to me. Fine, whatever. THEY SHRIEK LIKE FUCKING BANSHEES AT EVERYTHING. And are uguu kawaii weeaboo sorts to boot. Endure a half hour of sitting there and then GETTHEFUCKOUT. Rest of con was the usual meh. Looking forward to pictures online- had more than 50 taken. TWO show up. Both are terrible. Great. Nothing ground-breaking, but thought I'd share.

Fathers aren't exactly known for being logical and understanding where their pure, angelic little girls are concerned. It gets even worse if said girl is underage.

And Jesus, this thread. I've thought about getting some friends to go with me to my next con (went to my first one alone), but reading this shit is making me think again. Why do you guys hang out with so many flakes and dickheads?

>Hambeast waited like 45 minutes in her stall, because she expected us to beat the shit out of her.


To be honest...I would have loved to puke everything I had inside of me to her face. She would have looked prettier like this.

>>4859548
As a fellow hater of escalators, you have my deepest sympathies in the wake of your terrible experience.

>>4859548
You are a WAY better person than I am. If that had happened to me, I would have made it my personal mission to make every minute she was in that stall miserable. Would have grabbed a ton of paper napkins, soaked them in the sink then thrown them over the top of the stall at her and give the door a few good kicks.

>>4859580
>Would have grabbed a ton of paper napkins, soaked them in the sink then thrown them over the top of the stall at her

Really? Did you go to the one in the convention centre or did you go to the one beside the Crowne? I went to the one beside the Crowne both Saturday and Sunday morning for breakfast and was fine. It was not busy at all, either.

how's that a bad experience? It's very cute

I was writing alot of shit, but realized it became too wordy and I've got laundry to do. So here's a semi-TL;DR-version:

> UppCon:09 (Swedish con)
> Go to con hoping to normalize relationship with ex I still had feelings for despite her cheating on me.
> Get cockblocked, backstabbed and heartbroken by both her, other friends, other exes etc etc during the whole three days the con lasts.
> Worst being A: said ex getting superclingyfriendly with cockblocking friend who already has a girlfriend of his own.
> And B: Other ex gets together with some other guy right under my nose. Said ex having told me she "could love only other girls" when she broke up with me over IMs while I was studying abroad.

The events at this con would lay the foundations for my opinion on how "love" and relationships are complete bullshit. But that's what I get for dating within the anime con scene. Ugh.

>>4864905
I don't want to post my photo but I had a grey schoolbag with a charm on it. Depending on the time of day I may have had striped cardigan on. I had a very longish Mari wig on.

>At MCM expo
>Rooming with friend and her bf, as well as my best friend
>A few weeks before the couple had started falling out, but make an effort to stay together during the weekend

>Wearing really obscure cosplay, no photos

>That saturday night friend gets hit on by someone, her boyfriend goes berserk

Worked out fine in the end though, got back to the hotel room and got some antiseptic stuff on it. Still sore for a while.
Friend was really sorry and bought me dinner then helped me repair my costume.

Thats the only con I've ever been to, so I guess its both the worst and the best.

>>4865365
Your best friend either;
1. Prioritized other people over you because she can't see them that often and felt guilty about it.
2. Forgot about you because other people were distracting her, felt guilty.
3. Was actually really busy and could not tear herself away from them, felt guilty.

Also...
at least you weren't the only one having a shitty time?

Only at UppCon.
Had a pretty cool time there this year though, mainly because of Versailles (fucking love them). Also I was working with an invited organization, so no lines, free entry and I could use the elevator when the escalators broke down.

Of course now I regret that, but it was a pretty crushing feeling at the time. I'm a pretty low self esteem person, I should have went with someone to avoid this. I know it wasn't that bad compared to others on here, but it is my worst experience.

>>4865510
>when the escalators broke down.
That sucked shit. I missed Genius Party because of that. Oh, and I missed Mind Game because the schedule they handed out on location was off for the entire first day.

>>4865505 He actually stood next to Tunamelt-chan

And I can't even get her to friend me on Facebook. Fuck my life.

>>4865520
Also the reason why I had to sit for a hour was because me and my ride are not from Tampa and are a few cities away.

>>4865535
They rescheduled everything like shit. Damn UppCon, can't do anything right. Though I guess that's nothing compared to NärCon this year, nothing was when they first said it would be.

>>4865360
I just love any and all Mari pics

My worst experience? Let's see.. There are a couple, but this is the worst.

>Still fairly young and in a con at a city I've never been before
>Sunday morning at the hotel, a few hours before checkout we're getting ready with our costumes, I'm stressed as hell
>Take a quick run to the store and come back
>When I return my roomie's leaving and says "OH HI I BORROWED SOME OF YOUR MAKEUP HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, I'M REALLY IN A HURRY FOR OUR PHOTOSHOOT AND I NEED TO GO CAN YOU PLEASE BRING MY STUFF WITH YOU?"
>Half of my foundation is gone, the bottle was almost full before I left
>The room is fucking full of her shit
>Pack in a hurry all the while trying to get my costume on because I have my own TTGL group photoshoot in half an hour
>Everyone's bitching at me for running late while I try to pack my friend's things she left there WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU HELPING ME
>I forget my prop at the hotel after returning the keys
>My shoe breaks while walking to the con
>The group flames and ridicules me for cosplaying Rossiu (this was when TTGL was hot and everyone in 4chan wanted him dead) so I change out of the costume after the photoshoot since I got pissed off
>My friends lost my cloakroom number
>Our train is leaving and I had to get my stuff and explain why I don't have the number
>Mad dash to the railway station
>Make it just in time, the train starts moving after the last one of us gets in

At least my friends didn't do anything on purpose and we were all young, this was a couple of years ago. We still had lots of fun, but that Sunday was worse than hell.

>>4865365
Wow, I'd love to have a Reimu plushie!

Why did you do an obscure cosplay rather than something with your best friend so you could have been part of that group?

>>4865642
*at a con and in blahblah my sentence got mixed

>have a really shy shitter
>hotel bathroom has paper-thin walls
>need to crap like hell but roomies are there
>don't crap at all and just endure the churning stomach and constand need to pass gas
>back home, terrible constipation and spend an hour at the bathroom trying to get that trunk-sized beast out of my ass
>weep

>>4865650
Next time do it while you are "showering". They won't hear it over the water. That's what I do.

>Motaku 2010
>Whole place smelled like shit
>Hope it won't this time around

>>4865642
Urgh, I know that feel. Cosplaying Rossiu apparently gives everyone the right to throw shit at you and actually punch you sometimes.

>>4865644
I'd gotten a Marisa plushie the day before so it was especially cool.

She was cosplaying from Kuroshitsuji (which I dislike) and Yu-Gi-Oh (which I'm not a fan of) and both the fandoms aren't exactly... sane.

We're cosplaying from the same series (Homestuck) next con but not rooming together, so at least we'll get to hang then. Although the fandom isn't any saner.

>>4865684
Oh trust me I know. After that I swore never to cosplay a hated character ever again. It's not funny or acceptable to hit me just because STUPID ROSSIU LOLOLOLO god I'm not Rossiu, I'm just an idiot in his costume. This pissed me off especially since he was my favourite character and I really put effort into my costume and only wore it for like two hours.

>Long-term friend asked me to coordinate get three rooms and badges for her small anime club, and they would reimburse me at-con.
>pay $1200 or so out of pocket, fill out the reg sheets for 24 ish people.
>day of con check in to the fourth room, wait for club to arrive to check in to the other three, thank god.
>Friend shows up with four others and no idea where the rest of the group was--they had all been at the local meet-up area and should be about there.
>Check in to one more room, and since friend's cell was dead, charged it a few minutes and checked messages.
>Turns out almost the ENTIRE CLUB had to bail on the con, because the hot-and-heavy couple that had the two big vans for carpooling were pissed they weren't getting their own room for 'couple time'.
>Cancel two rooms.
>We all had a fabulous time, met great people.
>Anime Club refused to reimburse me for the extra badges since they couldn't go.

Assholes. I've written it off as a learning experience since it was 6 years ago, but fucking hell. Just because they couldn't fuck any time they wanted the couple screwed over the rest of the group. My friend offered to reimburse me out of her own pocket, but since it wasn't her fault I couldn't take the money.

Seriously? They couldn't keep it in their pants for Thursday night through Sunday night? And even at con, they could have found private time throughout the day. ARGH.

>>4865748
You could have probably taken the friend to the cleaners for that. They asked you to do it and you were under the impression you were getting that money back. Small claims court.

>>4856584
I went to the sydney one

>Cosplaying Kamina
>Going with 5 yr-old little bro dressed as younger Simon
>My brother's feet hurt so I carry him
>Suddenly hear some sort of screech and feel this huge weight on me
>I've now got a 200+ lb hambeast on me
>Thankfully I'm strong enough to hold the weight and don't fall onto my little brother
>She wants me to fall over so she starts trying to push me while holding on
>Have now got a huge hambeast humping my back
>I scream for her to get the fuck off me
>She says "I love you Kamina!"
>Hear another screech and am now slide tackled by a friend of hers
>I put one arm out and catch myself with an elbow while still holding brother
>Little brother is now crying and I've got god knows how much weight on me
>Pivot myself to the side and throw off hambeasts

Luckily, security saw the whole thing and escorted them out while I was trying to calm my brother down
Only injuries were sore knees and a sprained elbow

>>4865748
Well, at least you know to get things in writing now.

>Barely any time to eat, eat nothing but lara bars for two days before the con
>Friday morning, massive intestinal cramping, spend an hour on the toilet. Fucking lara bars
>Period comes because I forgot to take my BC for two straight days, have no tampons or anything to deal with it
>Try to make the best of the con anyways

>Finally get to con Friday afternoon, feel like the only person who is alone in the whole damn place
>Get some compliments on outfit but no one talks to me for long
>Getting increasingly depressed, feel like breaking down. Wish my sister was there
>Have social anxiety, so I always misinterpret people and their comments as something negative, ect
>Feel so fucking awkward the whole weekend
>Breakdown Saturday afternoon. Call mother and ask her to pick me up early tomorrow, say I'm feeling ill
>Finish all the food I had brought for the weekend, end up purging in hotel bathroom
>Spend rest of the night sobbing in my hotel room


The only upside to the whole weekend was getting to see Kalafina.

>>4862335
Pic related for you.

My worst con experience was at Ausa 2010 on a cramped elevator and big guy steps in and after the door closes tells his friends he thinks his going to throw up. Door opens on my floor and I'm like the flash getting out of there.

western lolita's your are not special you stuck up bitch's. You think you are Japanese and if you say jelly your so cute well your not here in Japan we hate western lolita's we call you all ita's stop trying you need a good slap across the face.

>>4865821
Am I the only one who notices a huge rise in these "my brother and I were cosplaying as this super hawt yaoi couple and these 500+pound hambeasts almost killed and raped us" stories?

Trying to force people to go along with your OTP is not cool, especially if canonically the characters aren't together or even gay so the cosplayer doesn't necisarily expect to be harassed into yaoi pics. Fucking fangirls have ruined every series I want to cosplay from.

Topping this list? Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji. FUCK those clothes are amazing, I want to try my hand at them but the fangirls scare me.

Not worst experience, but ACen LineCon? People ahead of me started letting people cut. Not friends in their group. Total strangers.

Sent my friend out the the car for our cooler and started making sammich and chip plates to hand out to anyone around me who was hungry, but none for Cutty McCutterson.

Speaking from personal experience, if you're mildly lactose intolerant sometimes your stomach can handle the food and sometimes it can't. It has a weird way of sneaking up on you.

>Have to work on Friday morning, so I come to the con late.
>It's around 3 pm once I finish getting my badge.
>Call friends. Friends say they're out for a late lunch and are just leaving the restaurant. They'll call when they get back to the con hotel.
>Wait.
>Call friends around 5:15. They're back at the con hotel, but they're helping a roommate change into a particularly elaborate costume and will be out shortly.
>Wait.
>Creepy guy starts following me around the hall.
>Text an SOS to friends; they don't respond
>Wait.
>Call at 6:30. Goes straight to voicemail.
>Wait.
>Creepy guy goes away.
>Wait.
>Call friends again. Voicemail.
>Wait.
>Go outside to get better cell phone reception. Wow, it's sure getting dark. And cold.
>Wait out there for a few minutes.
>Go back inside when it gets too cold to be outside.
>Wait.
>Call friend at 8 and leave a really flouncy, angry message.
>Leave in disgust.
>Learn the next morning (from a different person) that my friends had been taking photos near the dealer's hall the whole time and never bothered to pick up the phone. Feels bad, man.

It was such a waste of a perfectly good Friday. I'm still kind of bitter about it, even though it's a dumb reason to be annoyed. Cons are really boring when your friends abandon you.

> AZ06
> First convention ever, parents drive me down on Saturday to attend for a few hours while they go shopping.
> They don't want me wandering around alone.
> Tell them it's fine, three of my friends are there for the whole weekend, I'll meet up with them!
> Spend half of my time searching for them in a crowded hotel, completely overwhelmed and too scared to talk to anyone because I know absolutely no one or any convention etiquette. Could have been a foreign land at that point.
> Call my friends, no answers. Don't see them anywhere, they never even told me what they were supposed to be wearing that day because they assumed I'd know them immediately. (One is super short and loud...wouldn't have been too hard to find.)
> Spend the rest of the afternoon sitting alone in some deserted hallway staring at my mom's camera with the three photos I took creeper across the room/zoom in style because I was too shy to ask for photos and didn't know if it was rude or something to do so.
> Call my parents up early, tell them to come get me.
> Find out later that my friends had up and left the convention that morning without telling me.

>>4866438
Oh, and bonus worst experiences ever.

> Grandmother the previous Halloween makes me a custom Sailor V costume. Looks exactly like the pictures of her, even has the shoulder pads made out of fabric and stuffing. The fabric even has tiny little crescent moons on it!
> So excited, wear it with my normal hair and go out trick or treating with my friends (same from the convention).
> Convention rolls around, they ask to borrow my outfit for a friend because she's tiny. Like Size 00 tiny, I'm Size 02 at that time.
> I'm nice, I agree and tell them to bring it back after the convention.
> Not only do I not see them at the convention, I never see my costume again.
> I have to pester both girls of the group to where it is, both tell me the other girl has it.
> Ask if the tiny girl they borrowed it for has it.
> "Nope, it was too big on her so she couldn't wear it."
> Never see my costume again.
> Still pissed off about it to this day.

And those same friends get mad at me when I refuse to let them borrow my costumes/wigs/clothing/etc.

>>4866441

Why are they still your friends?

That shit was *destroyed*. They were MAD fucking jelly.

>>4866471
>LOL PEARL HARBOR

Augh, Hetalia fans like that are the reason I'm afraid to cosplay from the series. They're such ignorant, insensitive little shits.

>>4866483
I remember there were people a year ago doing 'pearl harbor America and atomic bomb Japan' going around with bloody bandages and shit everywhere.
Also a girl I'm not really friends with any more[who was actually very bitchy and cruel in referring to me as 'an associate', not a friend] who has a New York oc and did a 'test' of 9-11 New York and pretended it was even vaguely ok to do that because 'it's just a makeup test I won't wear this to a con!'
I don't get why, if she wanted to do a 'makeup test' she had to specify it as a 9-11 NY one.

I just don't get it.

>>4866405
I hate it so much when people do this. No offense to you, because it's super rude to not answer your phone if you know it's going off, but I have a friend of a friend who does this.
Like, we always go to cons in big groups, and normally we'll split up and do our own things until dinner time, but there's this one guy who is all over my best friend, and the second they're separated he goes on a quest to find him (not even one of us, just him in particular) or he'll sit by an entrance or go back to the hotel to wait like a little puppy and then bitches about how he's having such a bad time and wasted all this money not doing anything.
It's like, just go enjoy the con. If you wander around you're more likely to see us, we have all the same interests.

>>4866405
Shit like this has happened to me too

>AX 08, Friday
>had been up all night finishing peices of a costume - I couldn't sew at the time, so my friend offered to do it, and insisted we finish it that night so I could wear it tomorrow. Costume in question is like 98% done.
>meet up with friends at the con in the afternoon
>hang out with them for like 30 minutes before they have to go to dinner
>I can't come cause whoever is taking them to dinner is planning on paying for everyone and doesn't know me
>oh no anon! we'll be so fast! Just running out to dinner. It'll only be an hour!
>FOUR HOURS LATER
>sitting in downtown in my car, as the con is over for the day, NOTHING TO DO BUT SIT THERE
>call her and text her multiple times
>she doesn't answer for another two hours
>1 in the morning and she says come to my house and we'll finish your costume!
>annoyed from having to wait so long and wasting my day at the con without friends because they all had to go have dinner with e-famous cosplayers and leave me behind
>so relieved we're finally getting to the sewing part. Costume only needs a few more pieces added before its complete!
>She takes my pieces I had painstakingly hand painted accurate patterns on to and begins to sew
>sometime during the night here her say 'ohh shit' as I'm in the next room dying shit at 4am.
>she's somehow COMPLETELY CUT UP THE PIECES I PAINTED.
>costume ruined. Pieces took somewhere around 5 hrs to paint, impossible to do it over.
>Don't even go the next day because I'm so upset
>wasted the first half of the con trying to finish a costume, and the second half moping about wasting the first half

Thankfully I learned my lesson and I give up on costumes that aren't getting done much earlier now to save myself the con-ruining experience that is trying to throw shit together the night before.

>>4866607
I'll help you round them up. Lilitu and I applied to do a 'History and Hetalia' panel for AUSA, so if they accept it it shall be a start.

>>4866590
Holy shit, I want to know this person just so I can punch them.
I remember seeing the Pearl Harbor one... I remember them being pretty good looking, but yeah, it's still pretty offensive.

>>4866607
I desire to do this as well, Anon...

>Cosplay Karina from Tiger & Bunny
>Spend whole day flirting with an extremely good looking Kotetsu

From now on this is going to be my default assumption.

>>4866738

Fucking hambeasts. I hope you and bro had a good rest of the con.

And as to the people who cosplayed Rossiu. I was a little sad the other week at a small local con because a guy there didn't wear his Rossiu costume. He's not my favorite character by a longshot but the guy did a good job on it and I was looking forward to seeing it.

Ffff I know it isn't a creeper thread, but honestly worst experience. And he looked exactly like the comic book guy from the Simpsons and had a super high pitched voice.

Oh, the other thing that bugged me at the con was that I went to a mecha panel and the guy hosting didn't know shit about mechs. He hadn't even seen any Gundam.

>>4866483
>>4866471
Not gonna lie, I enjoy some horrible jokes that involve sensitive topics like that, but even I know to keep that shit between my friends who know I'm not serious. Some people are so fucking stupid. And why would you throw candy at a stranger? Christ.

>> Fuck yeah

>>4846251
Man, that sounds like every convention in my area and the reason I go to ones in California. Fuck Vegas.

All I've learned from this thread is that Americans vomit a lot.

>>4866768
Yeah, you definitely should! I think we're mainly do a base overview of historical areas with common misconceptions in Hetalia fandom with a little bit about language and Japanese culture -- Teach them some easier stuff. We're thinking of putting together a intro quiz of simple stuff and making an online survey for feedback in case we try it for Katsu, too. We should get on that, AUSA is in three months and we should be prepared.

>>4869108
I can be very tastelessly witty in private but in public I try to be a paragon of manners when presenting myself; I don't want to be seen as a bad example. I do not understand some fans.

The image of you picking up your little brother with you both dressed as Kamina and Simon makes me HNNNGH so hard.

AmeCon 07. First Ever Con!
Go with 3 friends from college,
Meet some ace people.
Got incredibly drunk at noodle bar on the first night.
Ended up in a bush. Covered in scratches.
That I didn't mind as much it was a good night,
But I also ended up stopping the the AMV disco thing they thought I passed out (Didn't know at the time but turns out I'm epileptic)
Later on £180 went missing from my room,
If that wasn't enough 2 of my friends started fighting at the top of the stairs just before the ball,
To the point where I thought they were actually going cause serious bodily harm.
Ended up getting my dad to pick me that evening.
Never been to a Con since.

>>4846294
Rubbing herself indecently you say?
Do they make those costumes in my size?

win

Any stories about Big Dick Mackie Vic?

>>4869499

Because glorifying past actions of a despot dictator and things that Hetalia-fags trivialize is awesome. Sometimes I just want to run up to the fandom and punch them in the face for not knowing historical fact that is offensive to some. Never mind the constant pairings and public displays of retarded fandom.

You have my full support for the panel.

>>4872425
Yeah, really. Or worse, when they attempt to write fanfiction or RPs when they don't have a full understanding of an event and fuck over accuracy in favor of fanservice. I know some folks who I do historical RPs with in this fandom[in part, because we're the sorts of giant geeks who major in history or get excited over reenactments], and usually I'll have read a book on whatever we're talking about before we do any RP. Hopefully with an educational panel we can make some of those batshit fans think and realize, 'Damn, I'm so wrong about that' and shape up there.
I really try to set a 'you don't have to stop having fun to be a sane member of the comm' but...

Thank you so much, hopefully we can pull it off!!
