/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Usually my choices in cosplay run a little too obscure for anyone to be interested in duo/group cosplaying with me.

However, there was ONE time...

>five years ago Hetalia was hot shit
>I'm garbage and like it at the time
>other friend likes it too
>duo cosplay!!
>can't wait for this brand new experience
>we plan on photos, cosplay chess, cosplay contest, etc.
>was prepping for and thrilled about it for months, and seemingly she was too

Not even five minutes passed after we arrived at the con and suddenly I'm in a quagmire of bullshit.

>friend doesn't wanna wear her costume
>fucks off almost immediately
>don't see her again until friday night
>we practice for the contest because i still somehow have hope?
>saturday and she barely leaves the hotel room
>seems to lose all interest in the con
>why did you even come then?
>surprise, bails on chess and contest
>i do them anyway, having easily transitioned back to my default mode of doing stuff by myself at a con
>i have fun but wtf?
>sunday ended up being fairly fun too
>except for friend going from brushing me off to outright rude
>car ride home is mostly quiet until different friend tries to tell me something
>i have headphones in, take them out
>"hmm?"
>friend cuts in and YELLS what the other friend said at me
>wew 10/10 what a great friend
>never went to a con with her ass again :^)

>pic related, what could have been but never was

There is hope for me yet, though, gulls. I have a (far superior) friend with some fucking integrity who wants to do a duo cosplay with me eventually. Until then, I'll continue with my singular cosplay life and swerve outta the way of drama.

Btw, if this story sounds familiar, then you might have read the longer version I posted in a con horror story thread last year.
