>spiders

Not a common cosplay feel but:

>spraying adhesive glue inside a large mascot costume for the inner lining
>all that fume smell
>even with facial mask, prefer to hold breath during each spray
>get out of the costume to let glue set
>gasp for air
>fumes still linger in the air
>mfw

>Last minute rush to finish costumes
> Develop a serious case of stupid fingers
>Waste expensive materials because exhaustion has rendered cutting straight lines impossible

that cosplay feel when your friends are mad that you can't be part of their pony group because you couldn't find a motherfucking rainbow dash wig in time

that feel when you don't even like bronies that much and just tried to make everyone happy by cosplaying the least loved pony.

that feel when I wanted to be twilight sparkle ; ;

>trying on something embarassing
>delivery guy rings doorbell

>>6343487
>not spraying that shit outside

>5 inches from being finished the last stitch on a huge piece for your cosplay
>needle breaks
>you have no replacements

>gluing delicate details to a costume
>butter fingers
>drop the glue onto your costume
>it squirts EVERYWHERE
>cry for hours

>Cosplay competition
>Supposed to go on stage with partner in 5 minutes
>Wearing ~CLAMP~ wings that I spent more time on than the costume itself
>Walk out door that seperates backstage and the stage
>Some person accidently pushes me into the wall
>Wings break

>tfw a wig company sells the perfect colour for your cosplay and the perfect style for your cosplay, but not the perfect style in the perfect colour

Oh god I know that feel.

>re-wear a cosplay from last year
>ribbon must have caught on something, ends are fraying
>trim off frayed bits
>go over edge with clear nail polish to seal it
>knock over nail polish bottle
>nail polish all over front of costume

>Sewing costume
>Turn around
>Dog and cat are rolling around in your white, gorgeous fabric
>ANIMAL FUR EVERYWHERE

It's only cute for a little while.

>You're at a con
>Super proud of your cosplay you worked hard on
>Feeling good
>See someone in the same cosplay
>They look better than you.

>mfw

>implying it was not a calculated action to erase you from the competition

That gif confirms the only child I want is an asian child.

That sucks, did they at least apologise? I commend your patience, I would've punched them in the face.

That cosplay feel when (with the ONE GROUP COSPLAY you ever wanted) the rest of your group ditches out on your group a week before the con

That cosplay feel when you run into another group who's just happens to be missing your character

That was the best Fanime ever.

I don't think they even noticed what they had done (It was a Naruto cosplayer. Don't wanna judge cause I know not all of them are shitty, but that could explain it). Fortunately a very good friend of mine had been wise enough to bring super glue and tape in all colors, so he fixed up the damage quickly so the wings could hold while we were on stage.
Those 10 minutes, from that incident till the skit was over, sucked major ass though.

>Get on stage, wings are okay and holds fine till the performance is over
>Most of skit depends on complete darkness (Glow in the dark costumes and shit)
>Early afternoon
>Competition planners had covered the windows by the stage with white fabric

>That fucking feel when everyone around you is a fucking idiot holy shit nigga how stupid are you

I was so proud of my first prop and the effort and money I had put into making that dress light up.
I was so proud.

>tfw you spend more time, effort, and money on your cosplay than the rest of your group does with theirs
>tfw your cosplay ends up looking so much better than theirs
>tfw you can see the jealousy in their eyes every time you get stopped for a photo

>Tfw you wipe your make up off at the end of the day
>Tfw you snap your first photo at the con
>Tfw you're still working on your costume a few weeks before the con

And of course, 4chan ate my picture.

OH MAN I HAVE A TOILET FETISH AND THIS IS AMAZING

>that feel when everything that could possibly go wrong with a cosplay does EXACTLY THAT.

You guys are funny

>Go to dutch anime Convention with a fuckload of friends
>Last minute about everyone changes plan and doesnt go.
>Day before con, Everyone has called off.
>Stay home.

>tfw looking forward to a con for months now
>it sucks

>>6347672
similar thing happened to me with a con in the summer.
I know that feel

>is going to perform on stage at convention
>is wearing huge white ballroom dress cosplay and having trouble cause theres so little space and so many people backstage
>accidently have your dress frill over a persons wings on the floor (who lays their expensive props on the floor anyway in such a crowded area?)
>nothing happens, it was just my dress frilling over the wings not my feet so they just get dragged alittle
>girl freaks out completely and tells me to watch my step
>apologizes and explains nothing happened
>girl throws her glass of coca cola on my white dress
>girls get pulled out of competition for harrasment
>my dress is completely ruined. went on stage anyway. everybody pointed it out.

not so much a cosplay feel as a rage tho.. :C
but justice was served so im okay now

>sewing cosplay
>bound chest to make sure garment fits
>anon come out here real quick
>throw on sweater, hope no one notices
>mfw family insists on taking the christmas card photo & i obviously have /no/ tits & crazy hair forever immortalized

This is why I don't go to cons anymore. The only 2 people I know willing to even go just stay in the fucking hotel room on tumblr or walk laps around the convention center not even paying attention to anyone or anything. For all 3 days.

Fuck paying for that shit.

>That feel when people like your closet cosplay
>That feel when you're the only person in your group dressed up
>That feel when someone asks you for a picture for the very first time

>>6348334
>tfw when bound tits
>no one sees a difference

>be pretty flat chested
>see someone selling chest binder in XS because it doesn't fit them
>think it will fit and it's cheap
>get binder, barely can squeeze into it
>turns chest into one giant boob

>>6348416
.....that actually sounds kinda hot.

>>6343635

>Cosplaying Rorschach
>Went through hell and back "painting" the face of the mask with sumi.
>Looks pretty bad-ass. Visibility is high, everything is looking up.
>Allergic to something in the hotel room, as well as the hotel itself. Immediately start having itchy throat, eyes watering, nose running.
>Ink starts running, despite having dried over a month before. Panic attack sets in.
>Remove mask in bathroom to assess damage.
>MFW the mask looks even cooler, because the running ink gives the illusion of a moving pattern.

Thank god I had a back-up mask, though.

>homestuck troll makeup test in bathroom at 3am
>someone knocks on the door needing to pee
