how does /cgl/ feel about casual alternate cosplaying (for fun, not cons)?

>> No.6494120

>>6494115
Do what you want, but don't make a big deal about it? It's cosplay. Should be fun if you're doing it, that's kinda the point. At the same time, casual alternate outfits don't have anything inherently special about them; it's just a thing where conventionally "attractive" people can get some attention, where others are just gonna fall by the wayside with all the rest of the Casual Fodder

hey HSG, planning on cosplaying meenah soon and it looks like there's a lot of people getting worked up over visible piercings and people not taking them out for photos and etc, but what's the consensus on meenah with noncanon visible piercings? i mean, i have a very large diamond nose stud that i can't take out due to complications that happened when i got it pierced (not to mention the thing was expensive as fuck and knowing me i'd probably lose it), so should i bother trying meenah or cos-hop to someone else?

I know that's supposed to be cowboy Dave but honestly it just looks like the generic human Applejack outfit with sunglasses. Her thumb is wrinkly as fuck and it's disgusting me.

Another thing that's bothing me is the fact that cowbody Dave doesn't make any sense. There is no context of Dave's character other than the fact that he's from Texas that would make sense for him to be a cowboy.

There's a reason why cons have set people for photoshoots, especially in Florida. People who do these things take time out of their days beforehand to plan them out, contact the con, organize character lists, etc. Shit, the same thing is happening down in South FL too, a bunch of kids who have no idea how to run events are mucking shit up and now there're like a billion in one weekend all because they want to be ~*populah*~ .

I may not personally like them (cancerously irritates the fuck out of me) but I'm not going to lie and say that their shoots don't run as smooth as they can go. Ive been to Homestuck events run like hell and I just leave, they at least have their shit together, and looking at seerofsarcasm's posts she does bring up that they improve their shoots with every con they go to, which I agree with. I end up going to most of cancerously's because we live in the same area and they've gotten smoother.

Haha if you wanna talk about her she got kicked out of the Homestuck panel at Holiday Matsuri that she was in I heard. Showed up late and the panel runner said that they set everything up without her and she couldn't be in it because it was rude. Also heard she got offered to still be in the audience and get called on a lot but she huffed her way out of the room instead.

Not to mention the whole thing where she refused and still refuses to call her trans ex by proper pronouns even when they were dating, which is the reason they broke up. I saw her blog when it happened she was acting like a child and was generally really disrespectful, especially to someone who she apparently "really loved" and who was already going by "Tyler" for their entire relationship.

easy answer: attention and asspat points

more likely: most of the fandom is really young and probably doesn't fit into the mold of what they think "normal" people (aka kids at their high school and their parents) so they have to adopt a lot of labels to classify the ways they feel different. it's not a new phenomena, I remember in harry potter fandom when everyone was internet-bisexual. they'll grow out of it

Heyitspj on tumblr. There's a lot of drama revolving around him with. He's friends with a lot of popular cosplayers and people in the HS fandom because of his cosplays. He's an alright kid.
Just really shy and what not. He's cute and really seems to be into his cosplays, but I think they're room for a lot of improvement, especially on his John which is his most popular, because 1. no wig (and he has a black wig) and 2. the hood looks rather bad along with the pants (the colors don't even match up). I've seen people who can pull off using their real hair for their cosplay, but I honestly don't think he can do it.
I guess he gets a lot of recognition for his cute face. Doesn't matter if a cosplay shot/WIP taken by a webcam, it gets like 80+ notes.
I heard he hates with when we talk about him, but now I'm curious to hear why he is being called racist and hating gays? Uh?

Yes, Tumblr is encouraging a midset of "you can't tell me that there's anything wrong with what I did because I tried and therefore cannot make a mistake!"

Like, no. In the real world, it doesn't matter how hard you try. It only matters how well you do your job. If an accountant is bad at math and fucks up their job a lot, they're going to get fired because in the real world you need actual skill and talent for your work to be considered good.

I hate tumblr sometimes because it sucks the skill out of everyone. Pic related can get tons of notes because it's a kawaii shipping picture even though the faces are derpy and the anatomy is fucking terrible and a thousand other things. Nobody cares that it's bad because according to tumblr, as long as you try, you did a good job and deserve a pat on the ass.

But if it's half assed and looks like you didn't even try, what fun is that? And I'm talking about people who have cosplayed before and it still looks bad.

It's the same thing though. Hobbyists should want to improve on the thing they do. They should be open to critique because contrary to popular belief, it is more fun to do something well and work hard on it than it is to just throw something together and hope you have fun. Hard work is rewarding. Making something that looks amazing is rewarding. People who do not do this should not be rewarded, because they themselves know that they don't deserve it.

I'm sorry but that is literally the same argument that the WBC uses in defending their actions: "These gays don't realize that they're going to hell by fucking each other in the butt, and so by telling them to stop, we're trying to help them."

At your core I agree with you anon- sometimes when someone is new to something, it's hard to spot one's own mistakes, simply because one is too inexperienced to know- it's just your argument that I politely disagree with, because let's be real, the critiques that go down here on /cgl/ are really not for the sake of "helping" anyone, with the exception of ourselves to a good time (and, I suppose, the exception of those who post selfies straight out asking for critique).

I think it ties into the fact that tumblr is over-accepting, while 4chan is hyper critical for the most part. Not that good advice is never said, but many people tend to focus on the insults.

So when I see people mention they hang around here, it makes me think that have some of that mean nature in them, especially when I see their friends being posted and rather lesser-known details of drama being talked about.

Unless someone is coming to cgl and asks for help, I think the 'CGL IS HELPING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND' argument is falling flat.

It's like being in band and shit-talking your classmates in the bathroom, and they happen to walk in and hear it.

You may be saying things that could get them to improve, but it's so buried beneath cruel comments all they're going to do is either lash out or run home crying and quit band.

They may play the trumpet worse than a coked up bum, but at least they enjoy themselves while they do it. In time, they will improve. It's really rare for someone to regularly cosplay and never strive to get better.

In the meantime, as long as they aren't being loud, obnoxious idiots in ways that aren't simply by existing and not looking good, what harm is there?

There's hardly any drama within us. Sometimes the younger girls throw bitchfits about "drama" in the tag, because they think the...er...segregation at meetups and cons is "bullying". Most of us like Heaven or we put up with her. There are cliques but it's not bullying.

You see the thing about Hanari is she's a give or take. Her Paperman cosplay was really cute and her Taffyeta is the cover of >>6495647 and it's actually really well done and also cute.

This is pretty clearly photoshopped, but I'll admit that it's done quite nicely. I think that the wig could be closer to Karkat's canon hairstyle, but as it is it does not look bad at all. Overall a good cosplay and a good photograph.

the Paperman one was ok. I think it would have been nice if she did some grey paint to make it really look like the film, but from what I know she only wore it for a short time that day anyway because she had to change into Taffyta for a photoshoot soon. so i guess she didn't have time for it?
i agree with your other points too, particularly the hit or miss part, though i think the Taffyta could have been neater. the edges of the dress looked frayed and the paint on the tights was messy, more effort could have been put into the hat as well.
i don't know her that well as a person so i can't say much on that. she seems kind of loud but i've never seen her outwardly rude or mean to anyone.

What would /cgl/ recommend as outfit ideas for a genderflipped Kankri? It needs to be something affectedly modest, librarianish and a little bit religious-fundie, but a long skirt wouldn't work because his longpants are important to his character, so I'm not sure what to do. Maybe a more feminine red knitted cardigan over a grey polo neck? Make the trousers into leggings worn with combat boots? Have her wear a grey headscarf for a nun-ish look?

When your cosplay gets posted on cgl and you receive criticism here's what NOT to do:

- Bitch and whine on twitter
- Bitch and whine on tumblr
- Bitch and whine on facebook
- Bitch and whine anywhere public about how "mean" the anonymous are
- Make a huge public fuss that will dig you deeper into your own grave.

What you SHOULD do:
- Be open for the possibility that your cosplay might have sucked and ask for advice on how to improve if you don't know how.
- Ignore the nasty comments if you have no plans on improving and move on with your life.

Late post but I think this will come up again so um yeah.

If fandoms and nerds in general are like the "outcasts" of the world, then Homestuck is the outcast of the nerds and fandoms.

I think it's kind of a chicken/egg situation because for one thing people feel odd out and thus search for other people who are odd (in general nerdworld have a bigger concentration of HBTQ than most other communities). On the other hand people are in the fandom and because they are odd and may from that also find their oddness in not only interests but also sexuality.

As Homestuck have a high concentration of HBTQ more people will see this, and find identities they didn't even know before. And realize the shirt fits pretty darn well.

Then of course it will always be those who do it for the attention (or because they feel too simple otherwise), but I don't think that's nearly as big as people make it out to be.

Also, the convention world is rather girl-dominated, thus many girls will meet more girls they could potentially be interested in. Even if they are straight 70% of the time outside the convention the girl to boy ratio is much higher at the convention. So while she is still attracted to 70% of the men and 30% of the women there will simply be more girls to be attracted to.

I am trans* myself, although not binary, and many of those who claim a trans* identity are just confused or frustrated by the roles they're stuck in. I call them by their desired pronouns, and if they realize that that isn't their thing before going too far they can explore their identity deeper, and thus we get less who believe they're transgendered when they're just non-binary or fluid.

It may seem silly, but considering they might have grown up being stuck in a very feminine role, and then suddenly they find cosplay and they are a DUDE for one day and it is so nice suddenly being not what you're expected to but something you've chosen ENTIRELY BY YOURSELF. And then going back to an identity you suddenly realize you're not comfortable in because you've seen the alternatives? Of course you'd be confused.
And chances are you believe it's because of the fact that you presented as a guy, and not because you for once CHOSE who to be. Because you always felt like the choices you did was active and all your own when they may have been very affected by the roles thrust upon you.

teeldeer: Cosplay helps people exploring identities, homestuck cosplay is rather simple, thus more identities to explore. Exploring identities is the key to learning more about yourself. I know cosplay is part of the reason to my identification as Non-binary.

If they're not actually trans they will grow out of it, if they're non-binary it's a good idea to still use their preferred pronouns because stated above).

the only problem i really have with hinari other then her shitty cosplays (which mind you is her own problem so it doesn't really matter) but when he goes to meets THAT ARNT EVEN HER OWN she yells at people and gives instrustions. i know your just trying to help but jfc not everybody wants to be in a shit boat photoshoot so let us stay here and talk we dont need to relocate if we dont want to and we dont have to stay in the blue squares we're not 4. it not like the park people were telling us to more she was yelling at us to all herd over else where for better lighting that was 10 ft away. not everybody wants to be in that giant group of people that are waiting for the shoot

she took over the shoot at matsuri and was "entertaining" until the chick hosting it got there, by screaming loudly and singing with her friends. legit half the people left.

What do you guys think of those popular cosplayers but their cosplays aren't good? Like, are they good people in general or just shitheads and are full of themselves?
I've seen people like PJ and Heaven and they seem like ok people, but their cosplays get too much attention. They really aren't that good.
And what about some lesser known cosplayers? That are good, I mean.

Most people in PJ's cosplay group are pretty good. I don't think he really has enough cosplays to show if he's good or bad, yet, though? Just John and Kankri, and they're both relatively simple.

idk i think a big part of it is some cosplayers can't afford to have big fancy private photoshoots at every con, so since they dont have the typical high quality photosets circulating around, they don't get the same amount of attention. but you can have a shit cosplayer with a really nice camera get a shit ton of notes just because the quality of the pic is really nice. i follow a couple "tumblr famous" cosplayers who seem to be talented but a lot of their pictures are from huge group photoshoots or are webcam selfies. but i also see a ton of shit cosplays with 3-5k notes where the person didnt even try.

It was pinned. The Latula was up all night before the con trying to finish it. It was bad and she acknowledged it, she's remaking it. She was at target after dark the night before con trying to get her update cosplay stuff.
I still think it's better than the tumblr update cosplays with the paper symbols.

or the shitty webcam selfies where you can tell the person made the shit out of whatever scrap fabric they had lying around. saw one of rose's update dress where she didnt even use the right color fabric and had loose threads and shit everywhere... but hey shes winking at the camera and trying to look attractive so let's give her a free pass!

Remember the days when Homestuck fans would patiently work on a moderately decent outfit instead of throwing together something awful just to be the first?

she doesn't get a free pass because there's a hundred million better Latulas out there.

That'snot a good costume and she needs to learn time management or pick simpler outfits if she can't handle it.

What are /cgl/'s thoughts on this? I think the Prince outfit looks alright, apart from the symbol.
