Can we make a new rule? If you're REPLYING to a post, you need to post a picture yourself. These threads get so derailed with replies and no cosplay.

Discussion Wise:
I really want to like dreamer cosplays but they always just look weird to me. It's like something is really off and I can never figure out what.

Other than that, does anybody have a "Fandom Favorite"? Other than damaramegido.

Alright, I have a question. I am cosplaying Feferi soon and I have a tight budget. Are lacefront wigs a /must/? Or can I get away with a normal wig with the bangs pushed back using blowdryer & ice pack method? Also, post photos of good cosplayers using normal wigs and that method maybe? And links to appropriate Feferi lacefronts would be awesome, too. The longer the better.

OP learn to link to previous threads.

There aren't many BNFs I dislike in the fandom, but here's my problem. Tumblrs only really been a big thing for roughly the past three years.While it's nice to have a supportive environment it's ridiculous that these cosplayers expect to be showed with nothing with praise and as soon as something negative comes out they or their followers loose their shit.

It's also obnoxious that said BNFs hang out on these boards, and while it was said and agreed in seererofsarcasms post to not come whine and make excuses for yourself when you are posted, it's when these same BNFs come on as anons and get an attitude for people saying anything about their costumes or personality.

We already know that Rel, Vantasticmess, damaramegido, and the-violet-prince, have all openly posted on these threads. And I think it's pretty obvious that a lot more lurk and never identify themselves (Zippy,boxed-hobo, Vintage-Areith); it's clear from even looking at their blogs where you see they mention being posted on /cgl/ and it's extremely amusing when an anon calls out one of them (Violet) for passive aggressively bitching about /cgl/ on their blog and then they go back and delete the post afterwards to try and deny it. The BNFs are repetitive and annoying.

If I had to choose between least favorites it would be the-violet-prince and boxed-hobo. Both because their cosplays are mediocre and they have attitude problems.

Hey, I see what you're saying, and you are of course entitled to your opinions! And to a certain extent I agree with you; it's ridiculous for someone to expect to be coddled or to expect everyone should like them.

The thing that I take issue with is that you think it's obnoxious that people who are posted or discussed here also lurk and/or post on /cgl/. I mean, it's not like this is some sort of secret clubhouse- it's a public board that anyone with an internet connection can see.

I agree in that, if someone is just going to come on here and post attitude, or post excuses when they receive negative feedback, then maybe they're better off staying off of /cgl/, but at the end of the day you can't really ban someone just because they're "popular".

don't dish it if you can't take it. if what you want is a safe space to bitch about popular cosplayers, talk to your friends or whisper in corners, cause man, gossip and drama is fun, but 95% of cgl has attitude problems, and you don't have more leeway than BNFs just because you're unknown.

All bnfs in this fandom piss me off. No matter how friendly they may seem in person, it's apparent that most of them see themselves as being in some kind of exclusive club. I'm "friendly" with a lot of them and have been for months. First name basis, and if we see each other at a con we'll probably at least stop to say hi and chat for a couple minutes, or spend a considerable amount of time hanging out. But once the con's over and it's back to tumblr, no follow-back. If a picture of my cosplay gets a lot of notes, I'll get a like and no reblog, so they clearly know who I am but don't want to give me any promotion. Meanwhile I've seen the same people go from snubbing some of my friends to fawning over them once their follower count hits 1000. I'm not really interested in being popular on the internet, I just want to cosplay and meet cool people. So I'm completely nonplussed by this "I'll start treating you like an actual friend when you're famous" attitude they all seem to have. I don't expect people to want to be friends with me, but if they're going to pretend to like me and my costumes and then ignore me once the con's over, they better not expect any continued friendliness on my part.

>> No.6649206

>>6649189
This is way too true, sadly, especially for a certain select set of cosplayers. And in a lot of cases if you stop cosplaying from the same fandoms as them after they deign to follow then they have a high tendency to drop off the face of the earth and not acknowledge you.

>>6649187
tbh there really isn't any truly "safe" place to bitch about the popular crowd, since people seem to love running along to tell the party in question about the bitching for brownie points and attention. What is this, an elementary-school playground?

Okay, THIS pisses me off. Does it ever occur to you that they don't follow because maybe they don't 100% enjoy what's on your blog? One of my best friends doesn't follow mine because she's allergic to Captors, and I post a ton of them. Or, maybe they like to curate who they follow. Some people I know try to keep the number of blogs they follow at a certain level so their dash isn't flooded.

>don't want to give me any promotion
>I'm not really interested in being popular on the internet

Then why do you care? If you just want to meet and hang out with cool people, then that's what was accomplished. Cons are also a giant clusterfuck of meeting and hanging out with tons of people you only see at the con itself. Of course they'll remain close to people in their area. And if they have a lot of followers/people, then it means they have a million people who think they know them because they follow their blog, coming up to them and being unhappy when they aren't a perfect Tumblr-sempai and they don't become besties and take off into the wind.

I am all about frying someone who is utterly rude for no reason, but people, even BNFs, are under no obligation to be your close friend just because you're friendly to them at a con.

I blog about pretty much the same exact shit that all my other friends do. Anyway, just because I don't care about the result of someone doing something doesn't mean I can't still be bothered that they didn't have the decency to do it. It's just a sign of acknowledgement. I'm not asking them to be my best friend, but don't treat me differently online than you do all of our mutual friends just because I'm not as popular.

I am by no means saying that BNFs aren't allowed on the boards, or should be chased away. I personally like hearing from both you and damaramegido. What bothers me is when they don't present as themselves, but instead come on anon and try to defend themselves or slam down the anon who gave the crit in the first place. It's pretty apparent that boxed-hobo did this when being posted a few blogs back. I just don't like ass covering.

>> No.6649232

>>6649214
Are you SURE it's because you're not popular? If they didn't want to acknowledge you they wouldn't have paid attention to you. Following you isn't a requirement. "Didn't have the decency to do it" means you do care about it.

They recognize you when you come back to cons, they remember you, and you're pissed because they don't click the follow button out of politeness? Maybe they did and did a clean-out of their follow list to just friends.

I follow 416 blogs and I still don't follow everyone I meet at a con. Even if we hung out for a long time! It has nothing to do with fucking decency. It has to do with "hey do I want this feed on my dashboard."

It sounds like you're putting treats out for cats and then getting unhappy when they don't purr on your lap.

>> No.6649236

>>6649204
I agree completely with you. I'm not a BNF, but even IF I did follow every friendly face I met at conventions, I'd be swamped with blogs on my dash. I have a lot of close friends I don't follow, and it's not because they aren't popular, it's solely because I don't have space or their blogs don't interest me. And you'd be surprised, if you ship one thing the other person hates, that may actually be the reason they don't follow. It's probably not because you're a bad person, but the amount of bitching anon is putting into this makes me think otherwise.

I don't expect anyone to follow everyone they meet at a con.

Kind of. And really sorry OP that we're doing what you really didn't want to have happen. Discussions without pictures but this is still a discussion board so, sorry I don't have a picture.

But yeah, I guess I have once. They're insanely popular on tumblr and the only time they ever replied to me was when I was complimenting them. When they would post about movies they liked I would try to reply back and strike up a conversation since I had similar taste but it seemed every time I tried, it would go unanswered and ignored for people who would rather kiss her ass and call her the greatest thing ever.

I thought it was just in my mind so I ignored it for a little while. After some time, they mentioned again, a movie that I particularly liked, asking about it and when I tried to tell them about it, once more I got ignored for people praising her for her amazing skills. I'm not sure if I came off too excited or what.

I saw her at a convention once and it just looked like she had groupies following her around. Kind of like the popular girl at school who had people always walking behind her, never in front of beside her.

I tried to introduce myself but was met with eye rolling and then kind of pushed aside by a horde that came to her table. It could of been me, it could of been her, bad timing, whatever, so many factors. But, it's left a sour taste in my mouth and I just rather ignore her now despite everyone praising her.

different anon here

the more you try to explain yourself the more it feels like you had one bad incident and are generalising to all "bnfs" afterward
other anon is right at no point is someone obligated to follow you, it is not a "courtesy". as much as /cgl/ likes to bash on tumblr for most people its a safe space where they get to dictate exactly what they want to see/who they want to see (and yeah that does ultimately mean its sheltered)
if someone is your con friend they arent obligated to follow you
have you ever talked to them outside of a con? like given them your number/skype? have YOU tried to make the friendship or did you just hit the follow button, sit back, and then bitch when they didnt return the favor?
like, i understand what you're saying bc it does suck when you consider someone a friend and they dont seem to return the same level of interest, but "being a BNF" doesnt automatically make someone like that (and if im being completely honest, being a BNF probably means you have to be even more careful w social media networking since you guys basically treat them like celebrities, its kind of obnoxious)

What am I supposed to think? If I were some obnoxious kid I'd understand, but if that were the case, why hang out with me at all?

You're essentially saying that they're two-faced bitches who don't value your friendship because they won't follow you. I.e., you are demanding people follow you if they want to be friends with you.

You're supposed to think, "Maybe they liked me, but my tumblr is not of particular interest to them."

Then friend them on facebook or text them.

Nah, I've had lots of incidents like this with people from all different circles of the fandom. I've hung out with some people outside cons, talked on skype and all that. One person asked for my phone number at a convention and then never contacted me? But from what I've seen discussed on here the guy's sort of a weirdo anyway. I do make an honest effort to treat people well but not be overbearing about it. Also I don't see anything particularly wrong with me bitching other than that it's clogging the thread (would post cosplays, but there's nothing in the tag right now). I'm over it, I just felt like sharing and then defending myself.

I don't know many BNF that go to Texas cons so i don't know if they're considered a "BNF" but I really like Dirktier. She runs of lot of meetups in Texas, Promstucks and con photoshoots and she's actually one of the nicest people I've ever met. She gave out stickers at Afest and i don't even think she's friends with many bnf except maybe kingtomcat. Sorry I think I've posted her a few times but I just really admire her as a person. I did meet kingtomcat at Ikkicon and she was also really sweet, so maybe you guys are just picking the wrong bnf to hang out with.

Homestuck, I require your assistance. I'm looking for a body paint for a non-HS related costume and figure you guys would be the experts!

I'm looking for something that's safe for the face that won't sweat off in a hot summer convention. I won't have a hotel room so I don't want to be constantly worried about it smudging or running or melting off and having to touch it up every five minutes.

If you guys can recommend a brand or technique, I'd be appreciative! Thanks!

Seconding this. Also, it goes primer, barrier spray, cream makeup, powder like a mofo, dust off extra powder, barrier spray. If you don't mind end of day scrubbing, a lot of HS cosplayers like to use PAX on their bodies and Ben Nye on the face. PAX will not smudge off whatsoever so it's a really good choice for your body/arms/etc, but it can be uncomfortable on your face. I'm on a phone so I can't grab the links, but look up the Homestuck Ben Nye tutorial (how to mix up shades if you can't find quite the right one, contouring, and general application), Hanyaan's Gamzee tutorial video (showing how to powder properly), and any of the PAX overview tutorials out there.

None of the modern trolls are old enough to even know what a sufferer is, and if they do know about him they dont have the attention span or personal motive to follow his teachings.

Its unclear to me how many trolls have actually seen each other in real life. It would be easy to simply lie and say youre one color or any other for that matter.

Facings, my dear anonymous, facings. Trying to just turn curves under and stitch is going to look like shit. By sewing on a facing (or lining the part that isn't the sleeves), you can get seemingly invisible hems.

Alright I know this is late but there's something you just don't get here. I'm not a BNF in the Homestuck fandom but I was really well known in my area back when Hetalia was at it's peak.

Being a BNF is sort of like being a celebrity in that there's about ten times more people fighting for your attention and wanting to be your friend then if you were unknown. And most of the time, they're people who don't actually want to be your friend. There are a lot of people who just want to ride the BNF tail or get in pictures with you so they can get notes on tumblr or be popular too.

The only way to really become friends with someone who's a BNF or who's popular enough that there's a lot of people competing for their attention is to have mutual friends who they trust introduce you. Because these people don't know you, they don't know who you are, and there's no reason for them to pursue a friendship with you when they can't be sure you don't want to use them because they're well known.

Which, frankly, you sound like you do, so I don't blame anyone for not being your friend. You're also a huge brat.

I worked with her recently, and she annoys a lot of people. She's a bit of a con mom, (doesn't drink, doesn't encourage... fun???), and she often guilts people into things. She'll play the 'I'm so sorry, it's fine, you don't have to' card a bunch. A lot of cosplays require a LOT of help from friends, (and I'm not saying mine don't, just like... It's a bit ridiculous). Also she doesn't know when to take a joke? As in, if we're joking around about a 'bad cosplay' she'll be like 'Hey, it's not cool to talk about other people like that'. She takes things very literally. A but off and a bit power hungry, but she is honestly a sweet girl. I mean, I think? She might be trying to guilt me into something...

While I'm sure this is the case for some, I would have to disagree that this is a set rule for befriending people with a lot of followers. Yes, it's hard to strike up a long conversation with every single person you meet at con because there's just so many, but the best way to befriend a "BNF" is the same way you'd befriend anyone - share some interests, hit things off, and maybe talk to them outside of a "oh hey I love your costume" in the hallway setting.

And don't throw a fit on CGL when they don't instant-follow you back on Tumblr.

rose's dress doesn't look like a real dress, it's like a bastardization of a mermaid dress.
I'd love to see her try and walk in it.
The way the seam between the yellow and the orange at her waist just pulls and puckers makes me irrationally annoyed, it's not that hard to do and just looks lazy.
I don't think the dress was made on a dummy her size since the side seam is crooked like mad and the bust part is just stretched instead of tailored for her boobs.
The lining is uneven and the yellow of the hem doens't match any other yellow

Kanaya's dress looks ok but her wig is wrong, I can't see any contouring and her lipstick is Nepeta's green.

Same. I mean, I suppose at its root, the idea of constructing a chart makes sense, because it seems that people keep asking, but I can't help but sit here and laugh a little. I mean, how exactly is BNF being quantified? Follower count? Number of "successful" photoshoots/costumes? Someone whose name you can bring up with a third party and have them know whom you're talking about? At the end of the day, I can't help but roll my eyes a little at this list...

That said, I do think the idea of having a couple of charts stickied for each new thread is a good idea. The fabric guide that someone made a while back, the explanation on how to start a cosplay if you've never cosplayed before, the explanation of What Is Homestuck to people who've not read it, Hanyaan's greying tutorial... these are things I think might actually be useful.

it's actually fairly simple, just go for v-shaped accents or seams on the torso and curving verticals on the hipsn and thighs to avoid that vertical stripes-saddle bag effect. I would pad my waist as well, and go for stiff uniform shoulders instead of shoulder pads, they tend to feminize and can make lifting your arms look silly.

Also wear hidden heeled boots, they slim your hips. And practice posing with your toes pointing out without it being too noticeable, that makes your hips narrower.

good luck!

I like the 2nd one based on the picture of the model wearing it, but if it's gonna look more like the wig head in the stock photo worn, I'd go with the 1st link.

scott talks shit about everyone he calls a friend.

seriously, even if you're one of the people he loves and cosplays with all the time, he's tearing down your costumes and your personal appearance to his inner circle. soooo drama-free doesn't really apply. i'm not sure why that's even a category, considering how good most cosplayers are at being two-faced.

>> No.6650957

y'know, I did too, for the longest time.

But then I thought

they almost seem "too nice" if thats even a good way to describe it.

Maybe "Elite" to the point where to me, they seem like they enjoy taking pictures together and are friends and all that fun shit, but at the same time, they are only friends with one another. Like the popular kids at the lunch table, they soak up all the attention, act all humble like "O THANKS GUYS WE LUV U" but in the end dont really give a shit and just keep posting more shit for notes and fame and i dont know im really fuckin drunk

and y'kno their craftsmanship on costumes is always really good; they are by no means bad at it i dont know where im goin with this anymore i never heard any drama from them so maybe thats a good thing in itself

Which you should be doing in the first place.

>> No.6651231

>>6651217
uhm, it does matter. it has to be long and full enough, if you want to layer it then waves have to be loose enough so you can cut it right so ut doesn't fluff, you have to be careful about the color and shine...

which brings me to
>>6650554
you're gonna have to probably straigten and recurl that for aranea depending on how stiff the curls are when teased open. Also that looks like natural black to me so make sure you get it in proper black or it's gonna look brown with troll make up. Also make sure there's enough hair for the fringe, sometimes swept fronts like that are too thin and if you have to bring hair forward for it it's gonna look really stupid with your horns.

>> No.6651234
