/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>all cons in state start going down the drain in the last year
>stop going because they really don't do anything for me anymore
>all friends stop cosplaying or move across the country
>can't travel out of state on holidays due to staggered work week schedule
>live in great area for photo shoots but have no motivation

I just want to have the passion to make things with all the fabric I've horded over the years

Nobody fucking cares, they both fucking suck. Stop making threads about the Belgian cosplay comm, it isn't worth shit and neither are your pathetic attempts to make it seem relevant.

What are some of your cosplay or convention pet peeves, anons? What, if anything, do you do about them?

>People who willingly choose to ghost cons, then beg to borrow badges for main events.

>tfw flakiest friend keeps inviting themself into cosplay groups
>even though someone is usually already cosplaying the character they insist they're doing
>and they probably won't make the con

>depressed for months
>no motivation to do cosplay
>finally starting to feel normal again
>last day of job is in 4 days, moving to another country in the fall
>get inspiration to do ALL THE COSTUMES
>tfw no more income and need to save for new life

She better be wearing prescription inserts in those converse or else my bullshit detector is going ding

Augh I hope this is a place to share stories because lord all might I just finished up the epilogue in my own personal weeb hell.

I'm finishing up my English degree and I've decided I want to do the whole teach English over sea's thing, specifically Hong Kong, Korea, or Japan since they pay better than most places. Chose Japan cause hey I know the culture a little better than the others and my inner weeb wants to go see the place for myself for a while. All fun and good, my roommate wants to do the same thing in Russia so we motivate each other to work on our respective language goals which means a lot of hours in the kitchen helping each other with japanese and russian. It all worked well and good for a while.

Enter a friend from the local BJD comm. I knew her casually through doll stuff and when I found out she needed a place to stay for a week or so while in between moving I offered mine up since I lived close ish to her work and had a spare room (cleared it with my room mate first of course) and oh my mother fucking god worst decision ever.

> "Oh Kawaii nee anon chan you want to go to Japan? I bet you want to go there just for Volks"
volks being a very well known BJD brand.
> "No, I want to go there for work. They pay well, besides I dont buy that brand of dolls."
>"Oh so youre going there for akiabara?"
>"No, I'm going to teach."
>"Oh so then anime?"
>"NO IM GOING THERE FOR THE JOB I WANT"
>"Oh so youre going there for volks?"

which doesnt sound so bad, but every god damn day. She also lied when she said it would only be for a few weeks and stayed for over a month, and since she had no place else to go I felt bad for kicking her ass out to the streets and put up with it longer than I should have.

Everything was going fine up until my items arrived at their place. Now it's like something fishy is going on.

So it's been 2 days now since I heard from my agent. On Friday, they said they were going to ship Saturday.
It's now Sunday and I still haven't gotten an email, or website update saying they did. I sent them ANOTHER email asking them what the fuck is up. I've been told 3 times now that they were going to ship my items, and they haven't. Every time I email them asking if it shipped, they say " oh sorri we ship tomorrow".
