Day 1 cosplays are usually really dumb ones my friends and I do. One time we did some half assed Umineko that was made with some inside jokes and shit, but I look pretty generic anime girl and mostly unrecognizable.

I know it was kind of an asshole move but I'm an asshole so. It was hilarious honestly.

Oh, cute. I was trying to think of someone from Aikatsu! because of your OP, haha. (I could only come up with Kii as an answer)
>>9012183
I used it because she's sipping tea haha. If I was cosplay Aikatsu, then I would have never been recognized in the first place.

Turns out he did that sort of stuff to lots of girls and would nitpick about their bust size or get upset about girls crossplaying. Obvious he had some sort of disability, but fuck it was uncomfortable.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I mean why else would you wear shimapan?
The Sailor Senshi don't even wear panties. They wear leotards.

The spergbabies left the homestuck fandom well over a year ago, where the hell have you been? Everyone flocked to Steven Universe or Undertale.

Dont worry anon, people see yellow with a bit of red and black and instantly assume Pikachu. My other half was cosplaying Ampharos and had everyone shouting "PIKACHU!" at him all day.
Own story of stupidity. I was dressed as Cardcaptor Sakura in her second OP dress (yellow, butt wings) and I had the staff.
I felt someone tap me on the shoulder while talking to a friend and turn around to see a gangly heap of nerves behind me.
"You're fluttershy right? Brohoof!"
"uh no, sorry I'm cosplaying as Cardcaptor Sakura. Brown hair, see?"
He keeps the fist there. Eventually I just comply and he fucks off.
this is stupid on my part

Found her on Instagram and she explained that she was only acting in character. Not sure if bullshit since I wasn't even Stein the first time.

Probably a young/beginner cosplayer. I think only the kids just starting out think it's cool to be in character all the time. Then again I've met some people with some terrible social skills

Because everyone that's been cosplaying for a long time does it. One day, at the end of a long and tiresome day, you'll throw on a wig and random clothes from your suitcase and tell people you're from A Story of a Mouse and Girl or whatever shit you make up and then you get to hear anime snobs pretend like they've heard of it.
For mine, I apparently have a knack for making costumes that attract people who want to tell me what's inaccurate about my costume.

Nope.

Actually, now that I think about it, when people mistake my costumes for something, they frequently think it's Naruto. I was in a thrown-together monster fursuit once (rust colored fur, slender tail with a spike on it, scaled arms, head was like a bird's skull) and several people INSISTED I was Kyuubi. The color was… kinda close and the ears were similar, but otherwise????
>>9040313
>"Yeah, whatever… Are you trying to trick me? You don't need to lie like that…"
I'm sure there's a specific name for this kind of dumb. I often keep a reference pic at hand to show people in case they really don't know.

Do people really just walk up and nitpick stuff to your face like that? Sure I might think it in my head, but all I'm gonna say to them is "cool costume". I mean it's too late to fix it if it's wrong, they're already at the con.

Here's the problem. Though that first girl needed to chill.
>>9044740
I'll go up and ask people where a specific element is if they're spot on. I saw an Aqua cosplayer who looked perfect, except she didn't have the shoes. I said "Aww no shoes?" but I wasn't trying to judge her. It would have just been nice to have the shoes.
>>9045194
I get that you aren't trying to judge or be rude but it always comes across that way. Sort of like, "Oh, your costume would've been good but you have this arbitrary detail wrong. Too bad!"
>>9037260
the only time I act in character is when someone is being annoying/a creep since I typically cosplay characters that are sarcastic assholes. Usually allows me time to leave and the person thinks I'm being funny. Saves me the headache of having to really tell them off
>>9044740
Yes. It rarely happens but when it does it feels surreal. More funny than anything.
I'll add.
>lolita friend of mine pushed me to get something from bodyline

Honestly, I thought all lolitas were like that.
>>9045200
>but you have this arbitrary detail wrong. Too bad!"
I never said anything like that. I even told her how amazing she looked. I don't get upset when people ask where my -insert partner character here- is. If you miss something, then you just miss it.
>>9045206
lolitas will eat you alive for absolutely nothing. they take clothes way too seriously
>>9045212
But why bring it up at all?
>>9045236
other anon. this was kind of my point. why even mention it unless you wanted them to feel bad/you were being nitpicky?
>>9045236
Because it's a conversation topic and I rather enjoy making friends. Believe it or not you can actually use the faults of a cosplay as a way to break ice and have something to chat about.
>>9045212
there's a difference though between "aw you miss that part of your costume", which immediatly comes across as "your outfit is not as it should be" and "aw is your partner not here?" because it's not a comment on your cosplay.
>>9045255
I supposed one had to be there since she wasn't offended in the slightest. Or perhaps gulls are just extremely sensitive.
>>9045241
That's an awful ice breaker. I'd rather have a convo about the show itself rather than how I don't have the right shoes
>friend made a ladybug cosplay
>went to photoshoot for the series
>she cried afterward because there was a better cosplayer than her there
>>9045194
>"Aww no shoes?"
People who do this are so cringey and off-putting. So sorry you were robbed of seeing a perfect Aqua, but what good do you actually think is coming from this comment? It's completely unnecessary negativity to point out what's "wrong" with someone's costume because it's not like the cosplayer can do anything about it now. Hell, even offering a good shoe tutorial "if you ever want to add the shoes" is helpful and a better conversation starter than complaining that "your x is wrong."
>>9044839
>> "Because Howl isn't even in Soul Eater
>> The rest of the people agree
I want to call bullshit on this because I can understand non-Soul Eater people not knowing the character but actual Soul Eater cosplayers, especially a photoshoot full? Either your costume sucked or it's made up.
>>9045476
Mifune doesn't really look anything like Howl either so ???

I am a huge fujoushit who thinks about this stuff all the time, but if someone I didn't know said that kind of shit to me in public I would politely extract myself from the conversation.

This guys was such a fuckboi. The worst part was he bailed on his friend and left her hanging. She is now back at work and finding out this shithead is badmouthing us at his job. Everyone's rolling their eyes at this asshole.

Actually you'd be seriously surprised. A lot of Soul Eater fans don't remember Mifune because they watched rhe show, but mever read the manga.
Howl is more popular anyway and....it's the Florida Comm. They're pretty damn stupid. It was mainly Blackstars, Makas, Souls, DTK, and Steins.
There was a cosplayer of Mifune the year before and no one knew who he was. He's a side character in the series with only a few episodes...yet easily forgotten.
Damn, this wemt from 4chan to Tumblr real fucking quick.

So many red flags right up front but at least the guy and his GF bailed instead of making a scene and giving con staff a bad name.
>>9045808
>I'm wearing 18" stilts
BRO. I'm a staffer who was guarding one of the upstairs ballrooms and you had me nearly shitting myself when I saw you heading for the escalators in those stilts.. unless there were two of you in stilts this year. Either way someone went down the escalator like they were surfing and I literally left my post to run over and make sure they had actually made it down without breaking their neck.
Also if you have people bother you like that again next year, please grab the first staffer you see because we're really cracking down on unwanted touching and stuff like that with the new anti-harassment policy.
Even if you don't want them to get in trouble, just let a staffer know and if they spot the person it's easy enough for them to just flag them over and tell them they got an anonymous complaint and they need to stop doing it because there is a new rule prohibiting unwelcome physical contact.
>>9046739
All the red flags came within an hour of meeting him. When we were communicating through email he seemed fine. Once the whole thing happened I'm pretty sure he overheard my friend talking about staffing and he probably wanted in on the perks. His email was hilarious, though. It was short, but the tone went along the lines of IM NOT FIRED YOU'RE FIRED!
>>9010670
I had a friend do something similar, wanted to dress up for a con but didn't have any cosplay so he just threw some stuff together from his trunk. Told people who asked he was "Dark Coat" from the anime "Trunku no Setsu" (which, of course, translates to Seth's Trunk (it doesn't)). We fooled several people including one of our friends.

As a fellow MGS cosplayer, I feel you. someone mistook my obvious EVA cosplay for The Boss. His reasoning why he mistook the two?

Shut up I know who you're cosplaying better than you do! This thread cracks me up.

Holy shit. This is some next level beta shit. If somebody tried to tell me I was somebody I wasn't I'd laugh in their face and tell them to go bother somebody else.

>>9047824
Different anon but they do. It's either out of some sense to 'ironic' or they think it's funny to 'class up' anime.
>>9037309
Oh boy do I have a similar story:
>Youmacon last year
>Cosplay Nanako from Persona 4
>While getting food, meet an actual little girl cosplaying the same character
>Excited because with the age she was she looked perfect as the character. Plus no one really cosplays Nanako for obvious reasons
>Anyway she notices me too and comes over, asking for a photo. We do and then we start chatting
>Suddenly her older but still young sister comes over in a Haruhi Suzumiya outfit.
>Okay cool, I don't mind chatting
>"DO YOU KNOW (insert stranger's name here)?"
>"WELL IF YOU DO TELL ME"
>"MY BROTHER STAFFS HERE, I CAN'T SEE HIM BECAUSE MY DAD TOLD ME HE TOUCHED ME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER."
>Mom/Caretaker is just looking on. I'm looking at my friends for help. They don't notice how uncomfortable I was.
>The little Nanako begins to speak when her sister walks away.
>"Yeah our parents have been divorced for years. I'm allowed to see my brother but my sister can't, but I can't be alone. I miss my brother."
>Just nodding. Don't wanna be an asshole and just walk away.
>Eventually manage to get back to my friend after the family leaves
Pretty sure I saw the Haruhi at a con recently. Before the family left two other kids and their caretaker appeared. They seemed to know the troubled youths and kind of gravitated toward me. Nothing bad but, I was already feeling nervous that I was gonna hear another story about kiddle diddling.
>>9048090
Oh and of course, these kids were also cosplaying persona. They couldn't have been any older than... 7? Maybe?
>>9046744
Hey thanks man. That new policy is really nice.
I don't think I ever went toward the escalators, just briefly inside the main lobby area. (So it was probably someone else?) I looked like a big creepy grim reaper with a scythe and all.
>>9047813
You have no idea how much I hate people like you just described
Oh man
>Go to con in Ninetales pokemon fursuit partial

Bitch do I look bright orange?
People would sit behind me and loudly count my tails as well.
>>9047900
Post a picture! Someone here will know who the cosplay is of.
>>9047813

>Go as shitty Splatoon Inkling cosplay at colossal con.

I'm a 250 pound male so it sure wasn't because I was hot, unless he's in to chubby penis.
>Waiting in line for pre reg.
>4 ft 90 lbs girl walks by with 400+ lbs male randow dash crawling on all 4s with leash around neck and gag ball in mouth.
Still not sure if they where trolling or just fucking weird.
>>9048143
>People would sit behind me and loudly count my tails as well
That's hilarious though if I imagine if it happened in earshot it'd get old FAST. At least you didn't get approached by [X] Touch Fluffy Tail people.
>>9045269
Was she on her period.
>>9047871
Well, for me, there was a lot of me thinking, "What? Huh?" And after he insisted I was someone else realizing it wasn't that important to me, so whatever. I'm not going to waste my time with them and it's not really offensive, so no need to put them down.
>>9018495
Ah hæhæhæhå.

How often do you go around smelling boys?

>kitacon 2015
Yeah that's the entire story.
I didn't see any of the people who went into the ambulances but I met two separate girls who bragged about one of their friends being one of the 'ambulance people'...fucking morons. Why would you brag about that? Oh right, because you're a hollow slut with literally nothing else interesting about you.
>>9055977
What happened?
>>9056011
20 people went to hospital during the first night of kita 2015 for drinking related issues. The hotel contacted the committee during the night to say thatif one more kita attendee went to hospital that weekend, they were kicking us out.
>>9056020
Daym
I have to go next year
Maybe bring popcorn and sit near the front entrance
>>9052684
I wasn't the anon. I typically go to cons to cosplay, not stand in corners to bitch about someone's brandu
>>9052684
she went to a fucking anime convention... I could understand a meet up or something... but come on
>Afest: friend that's cosplaying Noiz and I are waiting in line for autographs. Kid behind us starts making small talk, introducing himself as 17 and saying that this is only his 2nd con.
>Convo is going well, but he then he turns to my friend and asks her why she would cosplay Noiz. "Don't you know how gays have sex?"
>u-uuh obviously it sort of comes with playing DMMD
>"Haven't you ever heard of when they take a hamster and-" yeah yeah we know, but how is this relev-
>"YOUR BUTTHOLE DOESN'T SNAP BACK WHEN THINGS GO THROUGH IT."
>We just sort of stare in confusion, but friend doesn't want to be mean, and eventually says, "If you do things properly, etc." "NO NUH-UH IT DOESN'T."
>We've moved to be next in line at this point, and I'm tired of people around us looking at us strangely, so right before we get our autographs, I cut him off by asking, "So what happens when you poop? Your butthole just stays open, and you're condemned to a lifetime of diapers??"
>Silence
>We get our autographs, and I drag my friend off quickly so that he can't follow us.
>We see him later when the concert had to be evacuated because a fire alarm went off. He says hi and tries to stay near us while saying nothing else, but we basically sprint back into the concert room as soon as the doors open and lose him in the crowd and dark.
That Afest was the best.
