/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have a several:

-Loose threads or crooked stitching. It just looks lazy and sloppy, like you can't even control a goddamn sewing machine.

-Not blending in prosthetics, or doing a terrible job blending them in. I facepalm every time I see a cosplayer who hasn't blended in their elf ears or other pieces into their skin. It looks like shit and they should be slapped.

-When a costume requires some kind of weaving or a drawstring, I would really love to scold the people who decide to sew it on TOP of the fabric rather than inside it. Bonus points for loose threads.

-Shitty fabric painting. The type that looks like a translucent, smeared mess. (Looking at you, Homestucks).

-Bandwagoners. Cosplaying ONLY flavor of the month things like Rise of the Guardians, Avengers, Homestuck, and the like. I always assume they're just filthy casuals seeking attention and reblogs.

-Quilting cotton for clothing. Bonus points if it is patterned when there isn't supposed to be a pattern.

I'll be back for more later.

No OP, you're not overreacting. I hate this shit so much. I'm fucking sick of everyone telling me I need to eat or that I look sickly, because I do eat and I'm not sick either. I just have an insanely fast metabolism. Just because my body is considered "ideal" doesn't mean I deserve to be insulted. Truth be told, skinny people can be insecure about their bodies too.
