>Anime Boston last month
>Saturday morning, go to enter "secret" artist alley entrance
>There is a line to the sheraton lobby, figure it's still the shortest indoor line there is
>Boyfriend and I take our place in line, after a few minutes he asks me if he should go find a starbucks and get us some coffee since we'd be there for a while
>So innocently, I say yes, and he takes his leave
>As soon as he's out of site, the group of people behind me start yelling to call everyone's attention
>Are they staff? Did something happen? Do they need help?
>Nope, they're making sure everyone sees their "The Game" sign
>My soul is in hell
>Turn the other way to avoid witnessing this
>But no, it must continue
>Greasy looking Space Dandy cosplayer comes up to me from this side and asks me if I'm some character
>I'm not
>Try to politely tell him so, and say the correct name of my character
>He repeats the name, but not without butchering it, he pulls out his flip phone as he announces that he's "a dandy space hunter"
>Pleaseno
>Staff decides this is the perfect time to rearrange the line (???)
>The gods have smiled upon me, I make my escape
>As soon as the hundreds of people have completed forming this new line, staff completely shuts down said entrance
>I have suffered for nothing

I love cosplaying. For a long time, it's been one of the only things that makes me happy. But lately it's just been a stress-fest and it makes me hate everything.
Part of me wants to take a break because of how badly it's affecting me but I'm young and in my prime for my looks and it's not like it's something I do on a monthly basis anyways.
Has anyone else here experienced this? What do you do?

>con is in two months
>reading that immediately makes me fucking nauseous

100% not ready. Still looking at hotels, which is difficult because I have to picky due to my low budget. I still haven't figured out my cosplay plans either.

New feels thread, let's try to keep this one on topic.

Does anyone else ever have nightmares about getting to the con and their cosplays not being ready/forgetting important things? I always get them after I start working on a cosplay.
