/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>10156995
It’s not specifically cultural but privacy concerns surrounding social media are much more prevalent in Japan than in many other countries. Younger people like your students are becoming more comfortable with it, but it’s not unusual for Japanese people in their 20s and above to not want to post their face online. It’s largely the reason why Twitter is much more popular than Facebook with Japanese users

>>10156585
I used to translate a bunch of these articles from GLB, but it had no appreciation or whatsoever, so I stopped. Translations were never popular in my blog / tumblr era, so I felt like it was not needed.

If no one is commenting or sharing on these posts I just feel it's not wanted.

>>10157015
Having a native English speaker proofread your translations will help you immensely.
I can’t tell you how many incredible comics I’ve read that failed to reach English readers and inevitably stopped updating as a result, simply because the translation was complete nonsense.

>>10157015
Where did you post them? I haven't seen any GLB translations since lj days.

>>10157015
I also did a GLB article translation and posted it here and someone reposted it to Tumblr (with my permission) but outside of the oldschool crowd it didn't really get any readership. I got some nice responses on here, and I enjoyed doing it, but it's a ton of work on articles with a decade out of date information.

Plus there's way less actual content in GLBs than people think. Maybe one article per volume is worth translating in full.

>>10155001
She looks like that main lesbo from orange is the new black. That would be a pretty easy cosplay

>>10155064
She’s not pretty, just cute.

Rat face

>>10155001
post in /soc/

>>10155100
i wouldn't say she is particularly attractive, also it's one pic from an angle

>>10156540
Cool mom

>i don't care about sticking out!
>whole post is about sticking out

>>10156854
They openly talk/rant about cgl and use cgl phrases.

>>10156957
Yikes

>>10156876
Fuck off she’s one of the best lolitas out there, she has cancer

>>10154462
Use the help thread and google

>>10154275
Wigs and hair are two different kinds of structure. A wig is synthetic and it's basically like washing plastic. You don't need anything fancier than dish soap or baby shampoo. Then when it's dry, comb it out with a detangler spray that has silicone in it, like Mane n Tail.

For your real hair that depends so much on the kind of hair you have, this isn't really the place to get answers for it.

Also, use the help thread in the future.

>>10154218
I dont see how its different from other reaction images of girls sipping tea but im sorry, I'll delete it from my reaction image folder.
>>10154205
I wanted genuine advice desu.
>>10154214
Yeah, I've been a little pressured to buy more dresses and blouses because I have nowhere near enough to be a lifestyle lolita. It's kind of weird and I cant afford those drycleaning bills.

Sorry again for the doublepost but I found out the reason why.
She and 6 other friends are having their own prom. It's clown themed. She wants to look like a clown. I dont know what I expected. Of course she wasnt genuinely interested in the fashion. I wanna fucking cry lmao. I hate this.

>>10154228
She sounds like such a jerk. Can you just leave her already?

>>10154228
Now we know you’re a lyin foo

Ok, so, first of all, this isn't 7+1chan.

>>10153966
I think that furries would be more of your target demographic than cosplayers, OP

>>10153966
>/cos/
do you know where you are, OP?

>>10154327
I had a feeling this would apply more to fursuiting, so I put a survey on /trash/ also.

>>10154328
This is a thread for a survey, if you do not want to participate in the survey, feel free to leave.

>>10153905
Damn, fucking weeabo couldn't have an hero'd a day earlier? Would have been a true queen amongst Gods like Dylan and Eric.

>>10153905
I'm sad when I hear things like this. I hope that she had some good happy days cosplaying.

Looks like Kipi won after all

What's the lore

There was already an easter thread yesterday

>>10153713

I've got the whole thing modelled out too, although I'm still trying to figure out how to connect the parts. Anybody have any clue?

>>10154641
maybe if there are kids in the family but if you come from a non-religious family who are now all adults easter is just another long weekend

>>10154658
non-sweet here, but i like this! print name svp?

>>10155646
It's AP's Romantic Little Garden! It's so comfy, I would definitely recommend.

>>10154654
The perfect Brolita dress!

>>10154605
A good print for Passover? I love prints that go with Jewish holiday themes.

>>10156773
it seems like the sort of thing that would have made a useful pattern in the GLB

@Jiro_u3 being perfect as usual

>>10156695
Like all other countless funny compilations on youtube

>>10156713
But there aren't many lolitas on tiktok or YouTube and there weren't many on vine. Where will people get their funny clips from? I like the idea but it seems like there will be a lack of content

Why do people always ask "Where's [supporting character]" or "Where's your [prop]?" when they recognize the character you're cosplaying?
I mean, what do you want me to say?

>>10156782
They’re mocking you for being single, you don’t say anything.

>>10156247
theyre using FA to buy burando. probably at SAC and members of asian pop society where the dumbass idols blow their money on usakumyas they cant afford

>>10157023

>>10155225
I seriously think she looks cute, I don't care. She's endearingly round and looks like a cupcake lmao.

>>10157076
Seriously
Why is summer getting longer and longer.

>It’s not a vendetta post to talk about one individual.
You what?

>>10153260
You can talk about someone without it being a vendetta

>>10153272
I think she's too intentionally famous for it to count as a vendetta. If someone chooses to put themself in the public eye they should never be considered exempt from criticism.

Do women still think cosplay is about craftsmanship? It's about sex appeal. Always has been.

>>10153638
Desu, sex sells

Where did you see the news??

I just wish one day AP will release more items with Vanilla-chan and Milky-chan, but AP doesn't really repeat characters as far as I remember...

Fucking newfags

>>10154496
Cosplay used to be seen more of as a conversation starter at cons, and an invitation for those into the same series to come talk to you about it. As someone who has cosplayed from series that I am both familiar and unfamiliar with, it’s infinitely more fun to dress up as a character you love and goof around when you’re approached. Not to mention cosplay is an expensive hobby, so putting a lot of time and effort into something you aren’t a big fan of can be pretty daunting.

I would say it’s more expected for “flavor of the month” type cosplays but it does suck going up to someone cosplaying from a niche series, making a little joke about something the character does and getting a blank stare in return. It also sucks to cosplay from things that are popular and be asked if you have “actually played the game” so I would say this affects people who both like and don’t like the series they’re cosplaying from.

>>10155654
Yaya's construction is still around where it was back in the day: solid but not mind-blowing as more of the community continues to improve around her. I would never consider her one of the top craftspeople today but she's probably the most successful cosplay business owner in the community, deals with more sponsors and corporations than probably anyone, and is a very experienced judge. She brings value as a cosplay guest but it's a specific kind of value.

>>10155688
I'm not saying that her construction skills simply vanished, I'm saying that they played little to no part in why she is famous and "successful". If I asked the average con-goer (or even normies) what Yaya Han is famous for, they will most likely mention cleavage-heavy costumes, not costume construction.

She stated in an interview maybe a decade ago that she makes the majority of her money by selling stuff like gloves, cat ears, etc and used to go to cons specifically to sell her gear. Now, the fake tits are her cash cows. Pathetic, really.

>>10155776
I was a baby cosplayer back in the early 2000s, and everyone I know looked up to Yaya because of her craftsmanship chops (which back then was on another level).

>She stated in an interview maybe a decade ago that she makes the majority of her money by selling stuff like gloves, cat ears, etc and used to go to cons specifically to sell her gear. Now, the fake tits are her cash cows

No? She still sells cat ears and things at her con booth, although I imagine she makes a lot of her money through her fabric line and partnerships with Joann's. Her boob job increased her popularity for sure but she's nowhere near the average thot who makes cash by selling softcore porn lewds.

>>10155798
I'm someone who hate Yaya but I will admit she 's a good business woman. Unlike other costhots, when her boobs finally deflate, she can still at least have a future,

>>10153617
tell me more

Apparently someone was going around putting roofies in peoples drinks at the rave. When will people learn that sitting your drink down UNATTENDED in ANY public space is the dumbest thing you can do.

The old downtown convention center doesn't exist anymore, Opryland would be too expensive for the con, and the new convention center doesn't allow late-night events without charging ridiculous fees, so everything would have to end at 9-10. Of course, MTAC wouldn't be big enough for the new center anyway.

At this point, it's a Nashville problem and less an MTAC problem. Shit sucks.

>>10154309
It's still a problem for mtac. It is WAY to big to be at the Sheraton (and other hotel) . I haven't been in years because u couldn't even move through the hallway last time. Not to mention hour long lines for each panel because the rooms were so small.

Post pictures!
I couldn't take any because of my cosplay

>>10152830
>posting that you're only 15
you must be 18 to use this site. also, we are not your fucking blog.

Continued

oke blah blah, lets just skip to the good bits

>October now
>Talking for around 2 month's now, still pretty chill, finally ask her to go to another con
>Pretty small con and no need for cosplay but she immediately accepts
>Next day we meet up and walk around, i point out a piano (because we have random public pianos on the streets here) and ask her if she want's to play
>She sits down and of course plays nothing other than megalovania
>normie but she's hot so whatever.
>crowd starts to form due to nice sounds coming from piano
>why does a crowd form around her every time she does something i swear to god this is an anime
>She finishes her playing, some people clap and we get on with the day.

>so blah blah blah we go to the con nothing there really except for me acting like a retard for a lovelive show with my lumica
>She's hungry so we decide to get something to eat since there's a ton of food trucks outside
>Go to a truck and order, start to pay for our food, only had my debit
>"You guys take debit?"
>"Nah man Sorry" The guy says
>"Shoot, let me go get some cash from the ATM Soph i'll brb"
>"Nono! It's all cool i got this one"
>"Wait, you sure the atm is ju-?"
>"Anon, it's all good" She said as she gave me a smile
>That moment.
>I'm sure some of you anon's out there can relate. There's not many girls like this and I felt like i had struck gold after a lifetime of mining. Or when you were 8 and you finally beat that boss on Mario Galaxy 2.
>So that's when, I think. I fell in love with this girl.
I know right? Pretty fucking anticlimatic. But this story isn't make believe, i didn't cum on her face or tit's as one of you anon's suggested and that's how this story is gonna go. If it was all sunshine i wouldn't be telling this story, because where's the fun in that? I'll write more tomorrow. or i'll forget and this thread will just drift off in the cesspool of other stories here. Goodnight anons. hope you all get some rest.

>>10152916
Buzz off forever.

Story sounds cute and all, but did you finally?
and of course a court is always around her
she is a girl after all

>>10152916
>Cesspool of other stories
Wow, you obviously don't know shit about /cgl/. We're a slow board. If you had lurked a little you would have noticed, but it's too late now. I hope you've had a good night's sleep and will continue writing.
