/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hetalia all the way.

I actually don't have any personal horror stories, surprisingly enough, but I have been in Hetalia groups where people are generally just immature and there is unnecessary drama.

And Black Butler. I'm with you OP on the manga arc (though is a school story really any better than zombie!Titanic?) I had some girl glomp me (like a hard, running glomp) when I was Ciel in Wonderland. She apparently mistook me for a friend. I was so angry I left the con after that (it was Sunday, so I wasn't too pissed about missing out).

Also going to have to say FMA. The fandom isn't bad, but the Edward Elric fangirls... I get the most comments and jabs and heckles in that cosplay. So I guess Ed is my guilty pleasure? Even if there are a million bad cosplayers of him running around with their own greasy brown hair and sneakers.

Pic semi-related. The Al posted to the elricest lj com asking for money to go see her Ed. These two were in online ldr and seriously believed themselves to be Ed and Al. I tried giving them some advice because at the time I was in an ldr that had started online and transitioned into real life, but they were just oblivious to reality. I think they've moved on to other fandoms, but the level of delusion... like the Al refused to role play with anyone else because she viewed it as cheating. Their cosplay isn't terrible, but I know Al wore the cosplay in the airport while she flew to go see Ed in Canada.

They also posted my fanart on their FB and didn't credit and I bitched them out because I don't want my fanart on Facebook at all. I had to do this several times and Al always got upset and claimed it was her bipolar that made her... I guess get so upset? Idk, I can't stand when people instantly throw out a medical condition as an excuse.

So that's my elricest horror story for the fandom.
