God I love sweet cosplayers who give out things related to their cosplay. I've gotten mini muffins from a Derpy, rainbow-colored candy from a Rainbow Brite, Dalek cupcakes from a Doctor, and a customized mini Mintberry Crunch cereal box from a Mintberry Crunch.
>I don't know why those examples are all food
Homestuck has a grey mailwoman character too, some of them do mail exchanges where they accept in-character letters from cosplayers and randomly hand them off to people cosplaying the recipient. Gosh why is every fandom so cute.

Feels good, doesn't it?

The Otakon I went as The Bride (in the Bruce Lee jumpsuit), I was waiting in line for angela's handshake and autograph session, and as I got close to the front of the line, Katsu suddenly noticed me and yelled "WHOOOAAAA, Kill Bill! Kill Bill!" so loudly that the girl at the head of the line jumped and dropped her stuff. Once I made it to the table he alternated between excitedly saying "sugeeee" to his staff and trying to come up with something to say to me in English; eventually he just gave me a a thumbs-up and a "Very niiiiice!" I was so happy and flustered I almost forgot to shake Atsuko's hand... d'oh.

Oh man, this feel... I've had a couple young girls come up to me and ask if I'm a real princess when I'm in cosplay as Rapunzel. It surprised me and made my heart hurt with the sweetness, so much so that after the first couple times I went out and bought a bajillion mini crab clips so now all the flowers in my braided wig can be unclipped and given to little girls so I can say "and now you're a princess too!" :)

T-thank you! :)
I don't know what it is, I just feel a real obligation to be nice and not ruin kids' impressions of princesses when in cosplay. I'm just trying to not ruin their dreams by being one of those princess cosplayers who smokes and swears while in cosplay.

Usually Sundays at a con are always the sad day since you're leaving and everything is closing early and it's time to go back to real life for a while, but that was a great day.
>>
At my last con (which was the second one I've been to) I dressed as Quote (from Cave Story). I threw it together the night before the con, so my antennas were crooked and I didn't even have a weapon. I wasn't expecting any attention, but I got my picture taken at least 10 times, and people would walk up to me just to tell me it was awesome I was representing the game.

It felt really good, and next time I'll put more effort into my costumes.

This really isnt a Good CON story since it happened on Halloween but it was cosplay related
I was wearing Luka's Sandplay of the Singing Dragon dress for a halloween ball room dance event and on the way home my mom and I stopped by the store to get some milk. I didnt want to get out of the van but my mom got me out. We walked around getting the things we needed and as we where heading towards the cashier a little girl and her mom asked me for a picture. I said I was happy too and took a picture with the little girl. they really didnt ask me who I was or anything but i was glad to make a little girl smile

At a recent convention, I was working one of the vendor booths (well... Funimation's booth, so I guess it's a vendor booth), and I told a friend I'd go get one of his Gurren Lagann DVD's signed by Kyle Hebert while I was there. I missed my chance to get them signed because I completely forgot about it, and was kind of annoyed.

After the dealers room closed this guy came up to the booth and we were talking for a bit, and somehow Gurren Lagann came up in the conversation, and this guy does the best Kamina impersonation I've ever heard. So I was like "holy shit, that's really goo-" and then I noticed his nametag.

I had been talking to Kyle Hebert without even realizing it. I managed to get the stuff signed, and it was just really fucking cool.

Nope because I'm too busy spilling my spaghetti about it every time I think of it. And again in these threads, where he's read it multiple times.

Gotta clean that stuff up. It's gonna get all over my costume.

I think I have the same one for these threads every time. I proposed marriage to Ikuko Itoh (creator of Princess Tutu) while cosplaying as Neko-sensei. She rejected me and I sulked off with my bouquet. God I wish my friend wouldn't have failed at recording it.

So I was in the dealer's room checking out the BTSSB booth when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and there were two Japanese ladies. I thought they wanted a picture, but one of them introduced the other as Hiro Usuda and said she worked on Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 as a CG illustrator. I thanked for her work on the series and we talked to each other through her translator for a bit. She then took some pictures and after bowing several times they left. She came back a minute later with a business card and gave it to me with both hands and like a proper gentleman I took it with both hands, looked at it for a bit and bowed. It was one of the greatest con experiences of my life as you can tell by the big shit-eating grin I have on my face.

Having the entire F/Z team that came to AX last year sign this poster (and the reactions that followed once they realized what they were signing).

Then shipping it off with a friend to have Jouji Nakata sign it too. Rikiya even signed on his character's crotch??? (he was really sweet, he noticed my cosplay and wrote a cute little note about Sola-Ui on something else he signed). I am so grateful to own such a terrible item. Now I'm looking for something equally awful to have Kazuhiko Inoue sign at this AX.

I always make sure to watch what i do when in costume. From Mario to Salem from army of two when ever i play a good guy ill make sure to be nice to kids and always limit what i say so i dont drop an fbomb. Havent tried cosplaying a bad dude but if i do imma act like the nicest evil dude ever.

It was Sunday around 4:30 pm and I was on the second floor of the Doubletree hotel shooting some pics of my friends' Kuroshitsuji shoot. After it was over, one of my friends told me to take a look at a glass door. I take a peek and see this fat guy on a chair with this fat black lolita (who was wearing a godawful coord btw) bouncing up and down on his lap. I was still in my Naked Snake cosplay at the time and had my cardboard box with me so I did what Snake would do and crouch-walked with the box over me right up to the glass door to take a better look. And that's when I noticed the weirdest fucking thing. There were two more people on fucking desktops surfing the web as if nothing was fucking happening. I also noticed that all the dudes were wearing black shirts so they might have been con staff. At that point I planted my box right outside the glass door and watched for a good 30 seconds. I knew I needed photographic evidence so I called out to my brother for the camera. Unfortunately, it turned out there was some sort of opening in the room since the black lady heard me and turned around. I was like "Oh shit, alert mode activated." I bolted out of there and down the stairs still underneath the cardboard box just like in a Metal Gear Solid game. I found out later that con staff sent patrols out after me, but I managed to escape by going outside. And that's how I probably got a lifetime ban to AnimeNext by catching a possible staff member being dryhumped by a fat black lolita.

My Metal Gear story isn't as awesome, but I'll try.

> doin EVA and Naked Snake with bf
> mybodyisready, literally I spent months beforehand working out so I'd pull it off.
> Spend the whole con hearing cries of "SNNNAAAAAAKE!!" and "TIME PARADOX!!"
> end up hiking up a hill off location from the con site for photos, find an area with lots of tall grass and a creek next to a highway
> photographer wants us to do some romantic photos, we're awkward AF because the traffic is distracting so he starts acting like a 1940's Hollywood film director for the lulz to get us to loosen up.
> "DAMNIT, I WANT TO SEE SOME PASSION."
> bf looks at me, yanks down my coveralls to my waist, and launches forward for face wrestling. Photographer is going to town.
> Cars going by start honking and cheering, people passing by on foot to get to con are clapping and whistling.
> "GET 'EM GIRL." "DUDE YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S HAWT!" "YOU'RE PRETTY GOOOOOOD."
> march back to con with bf, singing Snake Eater at the top of our lungs
> bunch of randoms join in
> we eventually stop singing bc we're tired, hear other people down the road picking it up, then some others down a ways from them.
> mfw people burst into a musical number in real life and it memetically spread a half kilometer radius around the con.

You literally have zero imagination, do you?

Few Snakes do (outside of that one guy who did Ga-Ko camo). Have yet to see a Snake with a cardboard box that was actually from one of the games.

I'm so happy I actually have a recent story for these threads now.

This past Naka-kon, I cosplayed a Gastly gijinka, but due to staff duties going a little long, I only wore it for the dance party. The next day, the temperature was pretty decent so I wore my Phoebe cosplay and walked around with Gastly on my back like a psuedo backpack. As I walk to my room, I hear a girl shout "I love your Gastly!" I say thanks and when I start walking again I hear her say, "I need like 10 of those," and the guy she was with saying she didn't need multiples of everything. It made me chuckle. Moments after that, I get stopped by a Red cosplayer and we have a nice talk and take pictures.

That Sunday, I wear Phoebe for the whole day and attend a Pokemon panel. Coincidentally, the Red from the day before sat behind me and after the panel asked for more pictures. A Professor Elm and Nurse Joy that I ran into in a different cosplay also stopped to chat with us and we stood there for an hour or two geeking out over miscellaneous Pokemon stuff and taking pictures.

Really though, this whole con was made of awesome moments for me. People never recognize Phoebe (probably because she's a random Elite 4 member and not important to the story), but people at Naka were constantly stopping me or calling out "Phoebe." People really loved my Gastly too and I met a lot of people because of it.

I know, right? There are tons of box designs in Sons of Liberty and MGS3, but no one puts them on the box when they cosplay Snake with a box.
