Post about your local comms, gulls.
Please try to keep vendettas out of the thread and contained within your comm.
My comm is really laid back and chill and I love it for that, but sometimes I just want to bitch about it or people in it on here, but I don't because I don't want to be that person that starts shit. I wonder if anyone else in my comm feels the same.
>post about your local comms
>except don't talk about your comm
How does your comm deal with sissies? My comm is torn in half over a "brolita" even though several members have shown proof to mods that they are wearing lolita as a fetish. One mod is calling us transphobic and is threatening to give bans.

What the hell? I honestly don't know what to say, that's ridiculous. This is far from helpful but damn, anon, you have my sympathy.
OI M8, IT'S THAT BONG AGAIN.
REV UP YOUR KETTLES AND MAKE US A BREW, YOU SLAG.
Curious as to if Ame is going to have any noteworthy guests, everything is a bit quiet. Did they bring anything up at Kita?
>>8958629
I'm just going for the party
>>8958635

Anyone have any really bad cosplay photos like pic related?

Thank you for posting this, I started hearing this song where I work and it was driving me insane because I couldn't place where I'd heard it before.
Awesome, more normalization of lolita fashion please.
Can we get a thread for cosplays that you need to be /fit/ for?
I need motivation to keep me going.
I'll slowly post what I have throughout the day.

Didnt really know where to shove this question but
Where are all the gothic lolitas who are into the actual western gothic subculture? Are there any Goths who just happen to be into lolita?
Why do you think there is such a rift between the western / regular goth scene and gothic lolitas?
Any people you know.of who happen to be apart of both worlds/ subcultures?
I consider myself part of both worlds. Western fashion subcultures often are attached to music subgenres, so that could be why there are many gothic lolitas who don't really care for the western idea of goth.
idk if you put this in the right spot either, hoping it doesnt get deleted. When I wear lolita, I only where black coords and when Im in my 'normie' clothes, I dress western goth. SOmetimes the two intersect a little (adding goth elements to a kuro coord, or making my western goth outfits a little more 'girly' etc) but I don't really think of them as being all that similar, even if the colorscheme is.
I think the rift comes from a difference in attitudes. Lolitas tend to be a little uptight, strict rules followers etc and most western goths Ive met are a lot more lax, almost apathetic about things. They just dont give any fucks, but lolitas seem to give a fuck about everything.
Just my two cents
I'm sure there are still people out there who dabble in both, but as far as I know, most tend to be older Lolitas who got into lolita via Goth music/fashions/sub-culture rather than younger ones who got into it through anime/cons. Older Gothic Lolitas tend to keep to themselves rather than expose themselves frequently on social media, usually as protection from their work life.

Are plastic storage cubes heavier than wire cubes? I was going to buy some plastic because they looked lighter but some artists told me that they are actually quite heavy. Should I just stick with wire cubes?
>>8981888
they are definitely heavier than wire, but imo not obnoxious so. it's up to personal preference, really. if you're just after the 'lightest', stick with wire.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but what are some of you guys' experiences with shipping inventory to cons/hotels ahead of time? In particular plush artists. I'm just reaching my limit of what fits into checked baggage.
Hey /cgl/
Me and the bf have a few cosplay ideas picked out and i'd love if I could get a few more
Any couples would work honestly, as long as its girl x guy or guy x guy, but a couple with a height difference would be perfect. Couples where they arent officially a couple is a-ok as long as they'd be cute together in a way and you can see them kissing
also post couples cosplay pics
AX is only a few months away! What will you be cosplaying?
What are you looking forward to the most?
What are you not looking forward to?
>>8970434
>looking forward to the most
cosplaying, seeing my LA friends, hopefully seeing some panel guests that weren't able to get a room last year
>not looking forward to
the fact that i still dont have a hotel room. i have no idea where to look for roommates since the AX forums gone and I don't know how reliable looking for some on Facebook or (god forbid) tumblr. My friend who i've always gone with doesn't want to go this year which really sucks
>>8970463
you can try the coscom forums too.

I was wondering if anyone liked cute fashion in general or had their own style rather than following a set of rules? My own style in mind is definitely inspired by many jfashions but it's not really anything specific and I don't want people into jfashion to call me a weeb or special snowflake when I really just want to sort of do my own thing, if that makes sense.
>>8961632
Fashion doesn't always have a category. it's fun to wear general cute/fun clothes without needing to give it a name and a particular aesthetic. Just wear what you like. I feel like that's what makes the western Jfash community so weirdly rigid, we're always trying to fit into a set of rules instead of shooting for an aesthetic instead. I also think that's why a lot of people miss the mark no matter how hard they try, because they're going for particulars and not feeling it out. As long as you're cohesive, your clothes have the right "feeling" to them and you're not wearing cheap low quality shit then do what you like.
>inb4 jillian tries to defend her shitty „„„party kei"""
I often wear clothes that are my own style. I've been doing it since I was allowed to pick out my own clothes, long before I knew anything about J-fashion. J-fashion has influenced me to go for more girly and overly-cute elements in my outfits now though.
Anyway, my point is that yeah, you're not the only one who has their own style.
I'm the same, but there are times when I want to wear a specific style but I'm so afraid of accidentally missing a point or something so I always write/say [insert style]-inspired as a cheap-out
although I'm not a cosplayer (seriously considering going as coop from Megas XLR for the next ab) one of my favorite chill con activities is watching average folks bewildered reactions to cosplayers, so hows about a normie reaction/story thread

Old thread saging.
Post your progress, recent con sightings, and things you find in tags. Anyone got some good minor character cosplays?
>>8956695

From around the same time Mettaton has two-toned lips.

Homestuck is the reason why we can't EVER have anything nice
Gothic can be a very wintry substyle, so share coords suitable for spring (in color or in fabric weight). Florals and light-colored releases by gothic brands like Moitie or Boz are underrated!
I love Moitie florals so I am starting with those. I will share blacker but lightweight looks also.
Post about your first cosplay.
>First time ever cosplaying, decide to do Asuka from 3.33. Specifically her when shr has her jacket and hat.
>Go to small time con to try it out.

>Several hours later a girl gives me an un-opened orange gatorade and says
"Anon could I take a pic of you drinking LCL?"
>sure why not
>After taking the picture she smiles and thanks me, then gives me two more then leaves. Pic is a little after the fact.
All in all a nice first time. I had about 7 pics taken out of a crowd of 200 con-attenders. Is this an average amount or do people usually take more/less?
Better than average. Most first time cosplayers arent even recognized as the character theyre dressed as.
Free non-poisoned gatorade is also bretty gud for a first timer
>>8944697
Really? I didn't expect my cosplay to work so well. That's actually really good to hear.
7 out of 200 seems like a pretty good number
if you were an easily recognizable character from the current popular anime of the season you'd probably get a lot of photos
if the evangelion final movie ever comes out you'll probably get more
Old thread is autosaging.
Acen is in a month and a half now.
>Are your cosplays ready?
>what are you looking forward too?

Is it too early to plan a CGL meet up?
>Are your cosplays ready?
Yea.
>what are you looking forward too?
Making noobs mad at the game room, chilling with bros.
>Con stories?
None I can think of right now.
>Is it too early to plan a CGL meet up?
Better early than on time or late.
>>8941944
>Are your cosplays ready?
Ha, nope but I'm on schedule.
>what are you looking forward to?
Seeing my best friends for the first time in 10 months and wearing my cosplay.
How is the Magic:TG scene at Acen? Are there drafts? I'm taking my boyfriend this year and he wants to know what it will be like.
I still don't know what I want to cosplay, so that probably means no cosplay. Was going to re-use a cheapo one from another con last year but I lost most of it in the hotel. Stupid money lacking and shit body.
