/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've been watching random videos from dragoncon looking for glimpses of the few videographers who caught me in cosplay. Youtube was on autoplay and started up with someone's vlog from the event. I decided to watch it. Just a girl with a few friends, doing group cosplays and fun things in atlanta.

I was busy sewing something and the laptop was across the room, so I didn't bother getting up and righting course when it continued to show more of her vlogs. Finally it got to a Dear younger me, and she talked about being an outcast and how that would change because she would discover cosplay and friends who were into cosplay.

This little seed has been in my head for three days now. I recently moved and I have no friends here besides my sisters, and even then they're both busy with school and work and don't have interest in cosplay.

I just want that. I want a group of friends who are close, and hang out and talk every day. I want a group of friends who will cosplay do silly group cosplays and take a whole bunch of photos with each other. Right now my cosplay group is myself, my boyfriend and a friend of ours. And the two of them are like cats, always wanting to do their own thing. Almost all my group ideas have been shot down because "you'll have to find someone else to fill in, because I don't want to do that"

And I feel bad for asking for more, because my bf is awesome and I love doing cosplays with him, but sometimes I just want other friends in this hobby who I can hangout with on a weekly basis.

Sorry for the rant gulls, this is the only place where I can say anything like this, and it sucks. Have a bad cosplay of a bad cosplay for listening.

When you do a terrible copy of a terrible cosplay, have you created a great cosplay?
