/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Work really hard on costume for recent con
>Series isn't popular, but it runs in Shonen Jump (it even runs in the English version), so it's not an obscure series
>My job gets crazy busy all of a sudden, so I have to start juggling cosplay work time 14 hour job days
>Get costume about 90% done, missing shin guards, boot covers are terrible, and wig could be better, but pretty proud of how the rest turned out.
>Not one person knew who I was
>Well, okay, I'm a bit sad, but oh well
>See tons of super shitty store bought costumes getting tons and tons of photos
>So much petty jealousy

And I'm no mad at myself for being so jealous! I'm the one who chose my costume, I'm the one who made it, so if no one knows who I am and no one wants me picture, the only one I can blame is me. But I just can't help it, I'M SO JEALOUS.

Some friends basically trampled over the shitton of work I had done for a masquerade, leading to a passable but personally embarrassing performance, didn't give a fuck, and then the next day asked if I wanted to be in the group they already had planned out for next year. I politely declined. Now I hope they pull the same shit with their next group because then maybe they'll see how it feels when their actions ruin their own plans and performances and no one else is there to rush around trying to fix their fuckery.

And I feel like an ass because I want them to fail.
