/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

How many of us have Link as their husbando ?

Being honest, I prefer the blond sex predator. Link looks like a scrawny faggot in comparison.

and have my fantasies picked apart by strangers on the internet?

I do that too, especially if I'm really excited for something, but it's not anything romantic. I'm going to Fanime next year, in the morning/night I'll probably browse the halls freely; take photos, talk to people. When it gets busy I'm gonna watch anime in the screening rooms, read manga, or go to an event. That game show seems fun, does anyone know anything about it?
All the while, minimal fixing up of my costume, wig, and makeup. And hopefully if anyone takes pictures of me they'll end up really good.

I'm definitely guilty of idly fantasizing about meeting someone cute in a cosplay that complements mine and getting asked for pictures with them / mistaken for being a couple.

>>7997262
Well, Link is cute but have no personality due to not saying anything in the entire series. He is more like player's avatar with character that player made up for him. I'd feel silly husbandoing myself.

>>7997282

You wouldn't a cute Link cosplayer who was shy and didn't talk much?

>attending first out-of-hometown con for the weekend with friends
>have cosplay plans with friend on Sunday; nothing planned for Saturday
>decide to use leftover fabric to make a puffy cicle skirt to go with a cute frilly button down shirt I already own, just to wear something fancier than normal clothes
>get lots of compliments for my outfit from people at the con
>at one point I notice a girl in a Princess Tutu costume from afar: it looks accurate and she seems cute so I want to ask for a pic, but friends are going in a different direction and it's really crowded, so I decide to give up on her for now and follow them as to avoid getting lost
>at lunch time, sitting on steps outside one of the con buildings, I raise my head while talking to friends and see Tutu walking towards us with this really shy expression
>she stops right in front of me
>HOLY SHIT SHE'S CUTE so I smile at her
>she blushes a bit and smiles back holy shit holy shit
>does little hand wave thing and goes, "Hi, sorry but I saw you earlier and I wanted to tell you that you're really cute and your outfit is adorable"
>I do my best not to freak out right there and then, instead I smile like crazy and thank her, telling her that I love her costume and PT and that she looks absolutely lovely
>Tutu giggles, blushes more, thanks me and explains that she's not wearing her necklace and crown because they weren't ready yet, but they would be tomorrow, so she would totally show me since I was a PT fan too
>"Of course! I absolutely want to see them, everything looks already so accurate they must be great, I can't wait!"
>Tutu does her cute giggle again
>suddenly, her friends are yelling at her to join them to go check out some stuff in a different place
>Tutu smiles apologetically says she'll see me tomorrow if we don't bump into each other again before then
>"I-I'm looking forward to it!"
>"M-Me too!" and leaves
>friends go wow what was that and start teasing me as I hide my face between my hands

cont.

>>7997289
>the next day, Sunday
>it's even more crowded
>I'm dressed up as a Clamp character with wig, contacts and no glasses which I had the day prior, so I'm afraid she might not recognize me and I keep searching the crowd for Tutu everywhere I go
>it's past lunch time and I pretty much lost any hope of finding her again
>get dragged by photographers to court yard for pictures with friends
>after we're done I start looking around and I see another group of photographers
>they're all surrounding Tutu
>BE STILL MY HEART
>I wait for her to be done while my friend - who has noticed - teases me
>the time to approach her finally comes
>we stare at each other for a bit, she's blushing and my heart is about to explode as we exchange a stammered hello
>we burst out laughing after a couple minutes and awkwardly start to talk, finally exchanging names and all
>she's a gorgeous, genuine ballet dancer with the most adorable personality while I'm average at best, on the chubby side even, and the most I can do is write weeby fanfics

>mfw almost 5 years later we're still together and next year I'm moving to her hometown (same city where the con was hosted) to continue with my studies

>>7997289
>>7997311
I'm internally screaming anon. I bet you are the cutest couple.

>>7997289
>>7997311

D-Doki doki!

>>7997284
I would do unthinkable thing to him.

I'm sure Link is a good cosplay to get laid at con as long as you're a decently pretty boy.

>>7997289
>>7997311
oh gosh anon i'm wellin' up here

>meet cute guy at a concert
>both of us just got out of shitty relationships and share mutual friends who are eager for us to try dating again
>friend mentions that I cosplay
>cute guy says he likes anime but hasn't seen a ton
>"Have you seen Ranma 1/2? I grew up with that show!"
>"Me, too!"
>four years later
>living together
>went to con together as Mousse and Shampoo

Nothing super cute or romantic like the previous story, but the excited look on his face when people would come up and talk about the series with us just melted my heart.

>>7997240
>1st time go to vidya convention
>find qt.3.14 cosplaying Carmelita Fox
or
>find qt couple cosplaying Carmelita fox and sly cooper

>Current g/f said she wanted to see me crossplay in person
>Plan out Fanime cosplay plans and figure we would do Jojo. 2 weeks before con.
>She's slightly disappointed I didn't tell her that I wanted to do Rohan x Remi cosplay. She decides to bring Suzie Q instead while I go as Rohan
>Joseph is also her #1 husbando
>Keep solidifying plans of telling her I'm going to be Rohan for Fanime while secretly working on a Tequila Jospeh cosplay
>Show up on our Jojo day and she cracks the biggest smile on her face

Premise: I was basically raised by my seven years older sister for most of my life, as our mother passed away shortly after our youngest sister's birth, due to complications. Dad has since had issues of his own so he doesn't exactly spend most of his time with us, but I love my siblings dearly so I am still fairly happy. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here we go with the main story...

>been watching anime with sisters since forever; we would use it to keep our mind off of the painful things back when everything was harder and played lots of make-believe games playing the part of our favorite characters (still do this to cheer up our youngest)
>discover cosplay several years ago but dad would never help us with the expenses for costumes and badges, sis is the only one old enough to work but, of course, that money is needed for much more important expenses, it would be unfair to even suggest we use it for the con as she barely gets to save up enough to buy herself something nice from time to time
>fastforward to some years later, first Rebuild of Evangelion comes out, sis and I are big Eva fan so we start anticipating each release and our youngest sister begs us to watch the movies together, so we do
>couple of years ago or so, local theater holds an Eva event for 3.0's release, since it's on the same day as youngest sister's birthday, we decide to take her as part of our "present"
>she absolutely adores Kaworu's character because he's "nice just like me" (older sis is Misato instead)
>actually, Kaworu's plugsuit has been my dream cosplay since I learned about the hobby
>fastforward to a few months later, it's now my birthday and we have a small party between us, before I go out with my friends for the evening.
>Big sis, whom I haven't been spending much time with lately because of extra shifts and school, hands me a box: inside I find Kaworu's school uniform from the fucking high tops to what turns out to be a perfectly styled wig

(continued)

>>7997386

Reading intently!

>>7997386
>I'm so grateful and taken aback that I'm crying but she's already apologizing because it's not his plugsuit, says she couldn't afford it because she's already planned a trip to [big con in different city] for the three of us, which she had been saving up for a while now
>I'm seriously bawling here but so happy I pick up my sister and start jumping around as I give little sister the news, she's screaming excitedly too
>some weeks later, at the con, our first con, I get lots of positive attention even though the cosplay is simple compared to many others; little sis is so proud to be walking hand in hand with "Kaworu" and takes lots of pics to show her friends
>overall having the best time of my life with the people I love the most
>meet other Eva cosplayers who invite me to the shoot
>have a blast there as everyone is super nice and we exchange contact info
>sisters are angels as usual and decide to go get something to eat for all three of us and bring it back so I can keep talking to my new friends
>life is good
>suddenly, I hear this loud, distinct noise, like someone had dropped a large rock to the ground, people are yelling and crowding around something
>kid in Gakuen Datenroku Shinji cosplay is having a real bad panic attack, no one knows what to do, two of those I assume are his friends are in tears
>big sis struggles with anxiety which used to be real bad in the past and I often had to help her, so I ask to please let me pass to lend a hand and yell that someone should go call the people in charge of first aid just in case
>thank god I manage to help him calm down after a while, even though he's still visibly shaken; medic arrives, luckily he only had a few scratches from falling down
>eventually things calm down and sisters are back; we end up eating with Shinji and his friends. They explain that this was his first cosplay only after months of years on their part, as he had always refused because of his anxiety+shyiness.

(continued again, sorry)

>>7997284
I'd like huge and take photo with his cute cosplayer. I just said he isn't my husbando.

>>7997332
>I would do unthinkable thing to him.

You have no idea.

>>7997410
*hug
geez... >_<

>At convention about 4 years ago
>Very shy around people I'm not comfortable with, otherwise I'm generally outgoing.
>Shit sux since this makes it really hard for me to make new friends at cons
>Keep seeing this really good Natsu cosplayer around the convention center
>On my way back to hotel room, see him by the elevator
>"I...I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna ask for a picture!"
>Ask for his picture, he poses. Finally just drop my spaghetti "I really like your Natsu cosplay!"
>No really, it's amazing. He's ripped, has contacts, honestly the best Natsu cosplay I've ever seen to this day.
>Guy is so nice. "Thanks! Do you like Fairy Tail?"
>Have a long conversation with him about Fairy Tail. I'm the only one out of my friend group who reads it so it's nice.
>Natsu tells me that they're having a meetup for Fairy Tail cosplayers and such later that night. They were all going to hang out and talk about the manga, maybe order some food. "You should come! I'd really enjoy having you there."
>My face is so red. Tell him "I'll see you later!"
>Meet up with friends in hotel room. "Anon! We're going to the Homestuck meetup come with us!!"
>I have no idea what homestuck is. They drag me there to see.
>Wind up being a wallflower as everyone there is either wasted or underaged, everything's inside jokes and memes.
>It's getting late...
>Spot Fairy Tail meetup across the room.
>It's small, just a circle of cosplayers sitting there seeming to have a good time. They're all mellow.
>Friend sees me looking at them. "Anon! There's that Natsu cosplayer over there! You should go over and hang out with them! I know you're not really having fun with us. Go make some friends!"
>See the Natsu looking around from time to time.
>I'm too shy to go over there.
>Never see him again.

I'd kill to see that guy again he was so nice to me. Misc. Natsu cosplayer, if you are out there, please know that you were the highlight of the last convention I have ever gone to. Thank you for being so nice to me.

>>7997427

>>7997407
>They feel guilty now but say that they just wanted to encourage him, because he's always wanted to cosplay with them in spite of his fears, and that they thought this would probably help him to overcome his anxiety at least a little. He was apparently doing pretty well until the photographers crowded around his group.
>I also have been in a situation where I really wanted to cosplay but couldn't for reasons that weren't up to me, so I can understand at least in part his feelings, plus seeing my sister brought down by her own anxiety and other experiences in the past have made me very sensitive to these things
>end up spending the rest of the day trying to cheer him up without making him uncomfortable
>he has a very hard time talking to me since I'm basically a stranger but still does his best; little sister joins in too and it seems he has an easier time with her, so we often wander on our own, the three of us, to go see stuff together and check out some panels
>we even take silly pictures with the grand piano of the con center
>no, I can't play but he does, and jokes that he could teach me the quatre mains (sp?) from 3.0 with this half awkward, half shy smile that gives me the dokis all of sudden
>I've never felt attracted in any way to anyone so I have no idea what the fuck is happening to me
>we basically spend the rest of the weekend joined at the hip and as he smiles and talks to me more, the dokis only increase

>it's after closing ceremonies, the last night before we go back home, his group+my sisters and I decide to go grab dinner together somewhere and wander a bit around the city
>we end up walking to the docks because why not
>Shinji and I have been talking all this time, I even told him about my family and stuff I went through which is not something I'd tell to anyone I just met as I don't want to burden others; it turns out his life hasn't been exactly easy either

(cont. again! sorry for the delay had to pick up lil sis from friend's house!)

>>7997463
plz tell me you did something for your big sis coz that was a very selfless act she did for you guys

>>7997463
>he confesses that he's dated only once in the past and it was a disaster: dude dumped him after people at school found out they were together and occasionally joined in the bullying to prove that he was n-no homo and the relationship was just an elaborate ruse on his part; this went on until Shinji changed schools and met his current friends there
>I really want to hold him or something but I'm also afraid to scare him off. I decide that telling him about my dumb crush now or in the near future would be bad, given his past experiences and general trouble he has dealing with people.
>I did not tell him anything
>We parted ways the morning after exchanging contact info with everyone
>have been close friends since, now we're planning a big Eva group, he and me will be doing Shinji and Kaworu (finally with plugsuits!) and even my sisters are gonna join in (big sis as Misato, predictably, lil sis as... PenPen, but she wants to be Asuka "when she grows up")
>in the meanwhile stuff has happened that led me to think it might be a good idea to finally confess to him to the con
>I kinda just want to get over with it and move on if I have to but I also don't want to scare him

Please pray for me, anons, and thank you for reading my dumb story.

>>7997289
>>7997311
I am really happy for you, anon. But I'm also super fucking jelly.

>>7997513
>>7997463
>>7997407
This was a let down.

>>7997513

We're all rooting for you! Thank you for posting it all for us!

>>7997490
After the con I got her a big box of her favorite chocolates (since they're from an expensive place she doesn't get them often) and a figure of her husbando. Not that I think it compares to what she did for us, but sadly the gap in our incomes was/is too wide for me to repay her in full. At least, the three of us are constantly looking after each other so even if it's just with a "thank you" and a smile we always make sure to show our gratefulness to each other.

>>7997262
Guilty.

>tfw no link irl

>>7997603
I make a pretty cute boy(?) and cosplaying as my husbando to make others melt is a con-dream of mine.

>be me, archaeology student who does bodybuilding as a hobby
>look like typical jock, no one would ever suspect I'm a weaboo until I tell them

>hear girl yelling, she sounds angry but also obviously distressed
>friend immediately turns towards me like "we can't leave this alone" so we try to follow the voice's direction to see what the fuck is going on
>Two tall dudes and a shorter (but fatter) one have fucking literally cornered this girl who's dressed up as Griffith (Golden Age version, no armor) and are using their bodies as a barrier to keep her from leaving
>one of them shoves her back when she tries pushing him away
>friend and I look at each other again and nod
>we take out our (fake) swords and I swear I still have no idea which one of us started it but we start yelling the chorus from this song http://youtu.be/67gMPl4RBKY which we'd been blasting at full volume on the trip to the hotel that morning
>picture it: a huge ass guy and an angry black woman in fake armor dashing towards those three dudes while yelling WE ARE THE DEATH OF THE BATTLEFIELD WE ARE THE BAND OF THE HAWK
>dudes do what every sane person would have done and run away
>Girl thanks us, explains they'd been harrassing her all morning because they don't like Griffith, cornered her when she got tired and told them to fuck off
>wtf

She later treated us to ice cream and we've all been getting along pretty damn well since then.
>tfw she's a tru qt 3.14 and we want to protect that smile

>>7997664
You can be my Wonder Woman, anon...

>>7997664
ill be your prince anon

>>7997609
That's so sweet of you Anon. I'm sure you'd make a lot of people happy, even if they're like me. I'm way too shy to talk to Link cosplayers.

I remember going to my first con and seeing a Link cosplayer. My friends told me to go ask for a picture, but I chickened out. Troughout the day I kept seeing him, friends kept trying to push me, halfway the con I finally mustered up enough courage. I walked up to him, stood on my toes and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

"C-can we take picture together?"

I turned red faced and had the dorkiest smile. I still have that picture, it makes me happy.

>>7997664
You sound like Kashima from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, so cute! You should totally cosplay her someday.

>>7997289
>>7997311
Holy fuck that is so cute

Ahaha. I'm sorry.

>>7998029
Oh Gosh, I like shorter men too...

Goo to see I'm not a lonely weirdo fetishist.

>>7997978
I do.

Burly men are disgusting to look at, and they are disgusting to be around when they care about acting 'alpha'.

>>7997513
Goodluck anon and thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope everything works out for yourself, your sisters, 'shinji' and your new friends.

I'm a filthy degenerate but I've consistently fantasized about a cute, short person eating me out underneath a huge ball gown while I force them between my legs and carry on conversation with normal people trying to pretend that nothing is happening.

>Want my gf to join me in cosplaying and do couple cosplays

Ahh I'm so happy Anon! I'm sure you'll make a great Link. Don't worry, Link crossplayers are still extremely cute~

>>7997800
Your friends have the right idea haha. You sound like a perfect fit for her, it'll be fun I promise!

>>7997978
The question is, who doesn't?

Man, I expected "Are you an archaeologist? Because I have a bone for you to examine".

purest form of love, happy for you
>>7998045
>>7998947
manlets, when will you learn?

I want a thin attractive friend to cosplay stuff with me, like Rei and Asuka, or Panty and Stocking. A lot of stuff I want to cosplay feels lame if it isn't in pairs.

>Wants to do cute couple cosplays with the bf who's a bigger guy
>He's not very into cosplay and says he's too fat to pull anything off

I don't care how accurate you are bby just let me live the dream.

>>7997652

>Dirty Pair
>Gainax stuff
Anon please my cosplay bff.

>>7997240
Was he seriously too fucking cheap to buy a wig?

>>7997664
I'm gonna brag.
>tfw grill
>tfw taller than most girls, shorter than most guys
>tfw protective, kind nature
>tfw female friends also call me their "prince" and fawn over for being protective
>tfw cosplaying strong female characters always leads to some girl giving me a gift at a con or blushing while complimenting my costume
>tfw male friends treat me like imouto-chan for being "nurturing"
>tfw guys at cons want to treat me like a princess and also randomly present me with gifts or blush while complimenting my costumes
>tfw athletic with hour glass figure
>tfw wouldn't change a damn thing
Honestly, I get insecure about my looks a lot, but this hobby has really helped me overcome that. Thanks, weebs, for helping me gain some confidence.

>>7999669
Link's hair was brown in some of the older games and animations. Also pink, once.

>>7997280
>Tfw I found a Madoka to my Homura
>Everything went so well, she was cute as hell
>We spent the whole day together at the con we met at and tool pictures together
>She gave me her number, but I lost it
>Ever since then I've been beating myself up over it

I'm an Idiot.

>>7999710
If I was you I would search through any facebook groups for that con until I found her, reverse google image pictures of her Madoka, Search "Anime convention name and year' Madoka" check tumblrs etc. until I found her, message her and tell her who I was. But that's just me, probably better than beating myself up over it for months at a time. Or you could try to move on, but fuck that,

>>7999650

>>7999778
Oh god, that's exactly how I imagined it to be

>>7999778
Oh God that is so cringeworthy

>>7999735
Thank you for the pep talk anon, you're right. I shouldn't be such a baby about this.

>>7999657
That's my ultimate cosplay fantasy, tbh. It's so hard to find in shape, attractive female cosplayers who like the same things I do.

>>7999854
Go for it.

Not really a fantasy but before cons I always get really nervous the night before and I end up dreaming about the actual con all the time.In the dream either the con is horribly lackluster or a horrible mess.

When I wake up I feel like the con is over (thankfully it isn't) and I have horrible expectations for the day becuase of the dream.

THE FANTASY

>Hark! A greasy neckbeard fucker harassing, groping and/or terrifying a wonderfully cute girl in Haibane Renmei cosplay!
>Crack my knuckles, stride over there with footfalls that echo like ten tons of RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE
>Loom over neckbeard until he notices the shadow and looks up
>Scampers off shitting bricks as cute cosplayer makes doe eyes at me
>Walk off into the sunset, my unbuttoned shirt blowing around me like a cowboy's duster

THE REALITY

>Hark! A greasy neckbeard fucker harassing, groping and/or terrifying a wonderfully cute girl in some cosplay I don't recognize!
>Halfway there, greasy neckbeard makes eye contact with me
>Neckbeard bugs out like Joseph Hitler is coming to claim his fucking soul
>fade into the crowd before the cosplayer notices me and reacts similarly

Being able to mean-mug shitlords into flight from half a room away can be useful, but even when I'm trying to look innocent, shy girls treat me like a velociraptor.

Kind of sucks.

No idea why anyone would want that, historically it hasn't been all that popular. Pic related, it's the type of guy that women hate.

>>7997240
>fantasy
I meet a con guest, a voice actor or otherwise famous person, sitting alone in a side-room. They look kind of upset and I apologize for bothering them before asking if there's anything wrong. They admit that they don't like going to cons and we spend the next hour laughing and bitching about the autists, teenagers, and freaks that go to conventions.

Then I say that it was nice to meet them, leave, and never see them again.

God that would be satisfying.

Oh. No, I don't really have fantasies like that.

I hope you guys are just saying this because you haven't smelled smegma yet.

It's disgusting, it only looks great in doujins.

>>8001791
I don't really care when it comes to dat dick but I live in the USA so seeing an uncircumcised penis is like a big fantasy/marvel of mine.

>tfw you have a short guy fetish and wants to couple cosplay with them.

>tfw you have a fetish for people from other countries, especially Russians and Brits.

>tfw you haven't had sex in five years or dated and your friends tell you that your pussy is getting sandy.

>>8001832
>tfw Korean
y-you too

>>8001825

If a guy has smegma then he needs to clean his dick better. My first bf didn't have this issue. I think that's why I have a kink for uncut penis now.

My last boyfriend had a circumcised dick and his dick/balls smelt like roasted ass. He wanted me to give him a blowjob too. Refused to wash it because it was 3am and he was lazy.

Just thinking about it gets me excited, but I feel like a weeby shit for it.

>>8001825
I don't do BJ so smegma was never an issue.

When I look at I circ dick, I imagine people doing the same thing to my clit hood and it's a very uncomfortable and painful though. It's a mood killer.

>>8002613
What's happening to you.

>>8002590
Why do you like torturing poor innocent penis, anon ?

I really wanna run into a good cosplayer who is the other half of an OTP of what I'm cosplaying so that we can take pictures. I don't know if I actually want that to happen though because I would not be interested in getting with that person and people at cons can be very bad about separating excitement over a costume from flirting.

Anyway, I doubt it'll ever happen.

>I cosplay mostly boys because dressing as a girl just doesn't feel right.
>listening to motivational music while working on cosplays: I can see myself entering te con confident as hell. I worked hard on this.
>maybe qt 3.14 Cosplayer will notice me.
>reality is I cosplay minor characters specifically so no one will notice me.
>too shy to meet new people

This is really dumb but I have a huge crush on my best friend. We cosplay together constantly so it's always fun. She likes to cosplay girls and I like to cosplay boys so things usually work out fine.
>tfw I keep trying to ask her out but get scared and pretend I'm joking

get over her or ask her out jfc

>>8002638
If she doesn't like dating people that she knows well, I'd say ditch her. She has no idea how long term relationships are supposed to work. I know it'll be difficult, but she's most likely a terrible SO.

>>7997978
Women have tastes for all types of men. Except your type.

Anyway, my con fantasy with a bit of back story:
>had a childhood friend I fell for hard
>tried to convince her to date me, always failed catastrophically
>said friend comes out as FTM
>say a lot of horrible shit (like, shit tumblr would dox and fire you for) because I was raised super religious and couldn't fucking deal
>both of us cut communication in a fit of anger
>years later I realize what I did and how awful a person I was
>can't hold a relationship together, have occasional nightmares about it, even have minor panic attacks from seeing photos or hearing him discussed by mutuals
>fantasize about finding him now at a con and making everything right then never seeing him again so I don't have to live with the guilt anymore

Of course knowing me I'd just end up putting my foot even further down my throat and/or have another panic attack on sight, but its nice to dream about gettong a good ending to this.

>>8002927
Grats anon, hope you're happy

>At a con near my home town two years ago
>Super awkward in large crowds, especially around men due to a bad childhood.
>Just starting to cosplay more, still new to it though.
>Go to game room to play some fighting vidya
>See cute boy (I also have a love of the ladies so thinking a boy was cute was new to me) cosplaying a not commonly cosplayed character.
>Slowly approach, nervous.

>He smiles, aura one of confidence.
"I like yours too."
>Start sweatihg spaghetti-o's, unsure of what to say next. Talk about Blazblue for like five minutes before I nope the fuck out
>See him last day in casual wear. Go to a panel with him before leaving, too nervous to even be his friend or get contact info.

A year later we met at another con. He didn't recognize me but he was in his same cosplay so I knew who he was. We talked a bit and at the time I had more confidence in myself and in social situations so I managed to get his number. We hung out quite a bit there and I actually managed to flirt.
All in all, I'd always dreamed of meeting a gf/bf at a con and it happened.
Been with him a year now and I've never been better. He's a great influence and inspired me to better myself. We even have a few couples cosplays and I've cosplayed a few of his favorite characters.

>>7997240
Most of my convention fantasies I have while working on my cosplays go like this, regardless of famous creator:

>the creator of the character/director/voice actor, doesn't matter which - will be there
>will pull me aside randomly incognito in the hallway and shower me with praise and ask for photos
>will invite me to their after party just to chill, drink, and tell industry/convention stories

>>8002927
Oh gosh anon, that's adorable. Congrats you two.
I have a Kingdom Hearts story too.

Here's some more fuel for your fantasy!!

>>7998031 again, feel like I jinxed myself posting this because last night I get a message from Nonon and our convo goes along the lines of

>Nonon: i don't think this is working
>Me: what
>N: us being girlfriends
>N: idk if i ever even liked you or just liked the idea of being in a relationship
>N: im not even sure you liked me in the first place
>M: nah i really liked you a lot
>M: it cool tho

We're still friends since it'd be fucking stupid if we weren't but still

Feels bad man.

>>8005927
>it cool tho
hahahha
you fucked that up, she wanted you to reassure that the relationship is going to work. She just wanted a shoulder to lean on, hear something like "I've never met someone as kind as you, I'm convinced it will work"
And instead you told her "it cool tho"

>>8005927
Sorry Anon, I agree with >>8005941
She probably wanted some reassurance and some emotion, she sounds like she was feeling really insecure.
>N: im not even sure you liked me in the first place
is the heart of the matter.

>>8005941
>>8005958
The conversation was more than what I wrote here and I did say something along the lines of "I've never met someone as kind as you, I'm convinced it will work", but still she said that being in a relationship wasn't what she expected (read: like in the movies) since it was her first one, plus her depression and self esteem issues were bringing her down and she didn't want it to have a negative impact on me. I don't really mind though, I just want her to be comfortable.

>>8005966
She was nice about it and honest, so that's good

A recurring theme in my dreams has been cons for years. Freaking out, con feels, romances, fantasizing about cons I've never been to, finally meeting my Canadian cosplay friends. Free dream cons are so cash.

Honestly I just want to meet my cosplay friends so much. One of them is my first cosplay friend from deviantart, I was 13 when we became friends.
>We used to chat all the time.
>I had the biggest crush on him but gave up on the idea of a relationship because he lives in another country.
>Have hardly chatted since I gave up/left dA/he became busy with school etc.
>Consistent parts of my dreams involve confessing to him and it somehow being mutual.
>Tfw I have had a bf for a few years now
>Still have a crush on my cosplay friend
>He's still single
>Tell mutual friend I used to have a crush on him and she d'awwws and sort of feels like she's going don't completely rule out him not liking you?
>I kind of feel like I'm settling for something comfortable but not what I really want, and certain parts of my current relationship make me anxious and depressed in regards to the future.

I try to make myself feel better by saying it wouldn't really work out even if we were close because he seems a bit like a male version of myself personality-wise.

I still want to meet him and at least hang out in person someday, maybe do a cute cosplay related activity together.

>>8005970

>go to cosplay as obscure-ish character
>befriend shy/awkward girl based on shared intrest of show
It doesn't seem that crazy but it will never happen.

>>8005927
Dang, dat suck Anon. Five days ago you gave me good second hand feels.

Honestly I'd just like to be picked up for my cosplay or voiceover talent and come back to the convention next year as a guest and pretend I don't know any of my acquaintances.

A few weeks ago /a/ found a massive trove of self-published lesbian con cosplay erotic novellas on Amazon. I can't for the life of me remember what they were called.

This was back in 2008, but I went to a really tiny local convention, like probably no more than 40 people tops. I ran into a friend of mine from college, who introduced me to get friend who was volunteering as a staffer.

It was kind of a last minute con, so I'd thrown together a fugly Medusa cosplay from Soul Eater, and was super self-conscious the whole time. In general I've always hated the way I looked. I've got a lazy eye, horrible posture, you name it.

So anyway this friend of a friend is introduced to me, and he's what I guess you'd consider a pretty boy - slim, blonde hair, blue eyes - and you know what he does? He pulls me into a dip, stares into my eyes and says all husky-like, "Hi, my name's ____." and pulls me back up.

Now it's not to say that I'd never been flirted with, but for reasons I can't explain I've always had really high standards when it comes to guys. The previous boyfriend I had I agreed to go out with after meeting him for a couple days and he just kinda casually asked if I wanted to go out. To my weaboo eyes he was hot and Korean, score! But in that moment it was like there was no one in the world but me. I quickly passed the dip off, because I found out he did this greeting with quite a few people, including a Haruhi cosplayer from Ouran, and then I got inspiration - this guy practically lived and breathed Tamaki from the same series. So I brought it up to him as a future cosplay idea, because apparently we lived not too far away from each other, and he laughed and told me that was his nickname through high school. So the whole rest of the con we basically called him 'Casual Tamaki'.

The last day of the con there was this cosplay chess match that we all decided to join, and he and Haruhi naturally got the king and queen. I can't remember what I was, I got knocked out really early in the game. For what it's worth I was complying Agito/Akito from Air Gear.

>>8006256
Cont.

So as I'm watching the end of the match I'm thinking what a cute couple they'd make, and think nothing else of it. No jealousy, no 'what ifs', and yet at the end of the match it was me he sat next to at the end of the stage, it was me he pulled into another dip as we were all leaving to go back home, me he found at college and invited to chill with him in his 'quiet corner' away from everyone else, and 6 years later it's me he's sharing a bed with. Sorry for the super mega ultra long post, I've never really told anyone this story from my perspective.

>>8005970
Honestly, you should try and meet up with him as soon as possible. That way you can get it out of your system.

Does he live far away?

>>8002636
You want to hang out anon? We are pretty much the same way. But I'm not a qt boi so idk?

>>7997652
Luckily you were all Golden Age era cosplays. Otherwise it would have ended worse.

>>8003274
I've gotten to do this. Nothing sexual or anything, just hanging out in a smaller group. I'm very grateful. :)

Almost got to do it this year but just was not possible because of two events falling on the same exact dates.

Oh anon, I share this fantasy! Luckily I was already able to fullfill it.

>>8002531
>>8008340

Ask your boyfriend. Most guys would be up for some cosplay sex, even if genderbending is involved.

no stories but i have a dream of meeting someone in cosplay that compliments mine. pic related, meeting this guy would be the dream.

I'll share.
I'm in the midst of writing a long and mildly popular fanfction. Sometimes go to cons cosplaying a character from it (not OC).
Sometimes I'll fantasize a cute girl cosplaying in the same fandom comes up and compliments me on my cosplay, we get into a conversation, eventually leads to her bringing up fanfiction and if I've ever heard of "X" fanfic. I get a wry smile and say "Yeah I heard about that one."
The next time I update, I insert a sly reference to the con-girl. This naturally leads to messaging and phone numbers, etc.

>>8005927
>feel like I jinxed myself posting this

I know that feel, that's why I stopped telling people about potential girlfriends; as soon as I do, it seems to magic their interest in me away.

>>8012092

Besides Robin and Lucina, my boyfriend and I are planning a Merrill and Hawke cosplay. Nice to see Da2 get some love.

>>8012181
oh thats really cool. im going to cosplay lucina and female hawke to the same con actually, haha. for my next cosplay.

Well, I'll share my fantasy, too.

I wanna be that adorable cosplay / j-fashion boyfriend next to a cute girl. I want to be accepted not by looking "strong", but looking cute and meet a girl who is into that as well. Kinda like some Yuuta / Rikka pairing in Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai.

I want to wear matching harajuku style outfits and cosplays with her. With that, even my shortness could be some kind of advantage.

But well, usually only guys hit on me. This used to be alright, as I'm bisexual, but I really would love to cosplay with a girlfriend for once. It's one of the few fantasies that have not yet come true.

Picture related. Rin and Len is one of the cutest pairings in the world and I would love to full it off on a convention with an adorable girl.

>>8012509

It would be cool if you could pass as a guy, yes. But fuck that, you can still do a good male cosplay if you put your mind to it. Miss Sinister is pretty tall, has decent-sized boobs and hips, but she still do badass male cosplays. Her Sagat is one of the best I've seen, but it's also very much down to the intensity she can convey through body language.

>>8013391
The helplesness here is huge.

Go on gmail. Cook up a fake gmail, it takes two minutes, top, with the worst connection. If you only get one e-mail from one person, jackpot! Else, you'll just have to figure out which one is the real one.

Once it's done (I trust you'll be able to do it), exchange Skype, video call in 5 days, meeting for next con (or in a few years in case of distance), and then happiness forever.

Jeez.

Hey. Guts anon here. Sorry but I only posted my story here because it seemed the right thread for it. I just did what any decent person would have done albeit in a very weeb fashion, I admit. I wasn't lookin for praise. My friend is a thousand times tougher than me anyways.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

>story started off believable
>dat nose dive into 1000000% fiction

>that feel when almost 30
>All the girls my age and who are into the same oldschool anime stuff are taken.
>All the girls available are too young, or don't even know who Captain Tylor is.

I mean, I've gotten girlfriends by cosplaying before (usually short term, or secret relationships/hookups), but it definitely feels like a window is closing for long term SO's.

My options now are get lucky and find someone my age who was around for the oldschool stuff, steal a girl away from another dude my age, or become the SIlver Fox (no greys yet) and be the dude with a cosplay girlfriend 10 years younger than him. : /

I guess my convention fantasy is now just to meet a girl my age who's still into the weird shit I like, and isn't taken already. I'm tired of doing the hookup shit at conventions. It's fucking empty.

>>8013728
I know that feel. I'm in my mid-30s, and I've noticed that mist of the girls I've dated in the last 5 years have been around 10 years younger than me.

Not from any particular preference on my part - that's just what's available most of my peers are married.

>>8013728

tfw getting into old fandoms that are basically dead so no one is around to cosplay from it anymore

>>8013782

>>8013787
no. i would rather just not be entirely alone in my cosplay.

goes like this

>cosplay pic related
>not fuck it up
>not play video games the whole time
>not spend the night in regret

not having talked to that one adorable stocking cosplayer at setsucon last year still makes me wonder what the hell is going to make me stop being so insecure and talk to strangers once in a while

>>8013782
Extremely relatable.
>mfw I have the most basic bitch fantasy of all
>just want to find somebody cosplaying my husbando reasonably well and screw his brains out
>tfw the fandom is incredibly niche
>he has literally never been cosplayed before as far as I can tell and probably never will be

It's not a good feel.

>>8013728
I'm just gonna throw a couple of my thoughts out there:
>Age ain't nothin' but a number
>As long as you're happy with the other person I don't care what you're age is
>I'm friends with a couple what has a ten year age difference and they've been together for 4 years and are now living together
>No such thing as too young as long as you aren't breaking any laws mfw

I completely understand wanting someone your own age though and where you would be concerned with the age gap and possible difference in interests. But I wouldn't completely rule someone out based solely on their age.

>>8013839
Who's your husbando?

>>8013839
I-I could cosplay your husbando!
As long as it's Daru

>>7997664
And even though you're a self-described 3/10, you still lost your virginity.

I appreciate the interest, anons, but I have friends who lurk this board and they'd definitely know that it's me posting and would never let me live it down. I'll just say he's from something that's come out in the last few years, so it's not even an old IP or anything, just unpopular.

Mh... I'm going to take a wild guess and say SHULK.

>>8014346
Nah. I've never played Xenoblade and I don't know much about him, "really feeling it" aside. He's probably been cosplayed before too, yeah? Unless there's another Shulk I'm unaware of.

Literally confirmed ValleLator.

The only reason a woman would ever go for a sub 6'0" male is if he's
a) a celebrity (RDJ, Tom Cruise, etc.)
b) very rich
c) a drug dealer
d) at least 6 points above her on the looks scale

>>8015052
e) if she looks cute and tiny non threatening husbandos whe would be able to look in the eyes instead of menacing ogres.

t-thanks bro

>>8015095
You people are funny
apparently I'm a menacing ogre for being 6'1

tallzoned again :(((

It's really silly, but I have the biggest crush on my best friend that I do a lot of couple cosplays with. More than half of the cosplays I'm planning are things that we both ship that I'm cosplaying with her, and she's always like "I really ship this can we cosplay it please". I'm 99% sure she has no interest in dating me though. She probably just asks me because I'm the only one who will just automatically say 'yes' to anything she suggests since we have very similar taste (cute girls and weeb-y shit, basically).
I don't want to say anything, because I don't want to make her feel awkward if she doesn't feel the same (which I'm pretty sure she doesn't), but we're travelling to a con together next summer, and doing couple cosplays all four days, and I'm secretly hoping she'll reveal that she has feelings for me before then or something.
I just want a cute gf that's into the same things as me and will cosplay cute things with me.. She's pretty much my dream girl.
>pic related, my face anytime I'm around her

>>8016114
I hate to break it to you, Beta man, but she only has sex with real, confident men.

>>7997240
Sometimes I fantasize about passing out and then waking up to a perfect Gamagoori cosplayer checking to see if I'm alright, and then I try to kiss him because I think I'm in heaven but then we're not in heaven but he still kisses me anyway and holds me in his big strong arms.

But I'm not, like, gay or anything.

>>8013827
Stocking is the perfect woman.

>>8016609
>beta man
Sorry but I'm a girl. Hence why our cosplay taste is 'cute girls and weeb-y shit'

>>8010474
A+ fantasy, will always dream of

I really want to meet a tall q.t. 3.14 bf at a con. Preferably in a costume as the same thing I am.
I want someone to do couples cosplays with, and honestly have slightly kinky sex with roleplaying/wearing our costumes later on lol. I just want someone taller than me because then I can maybe also feel kawaii (I'm not).

>tfw not a cute girl
>tfw you are sort of tall (5'7, most guys seem around my height)

I would have worked it out. Probably.

>>8017293
you nearly exacly described how I first met the girl I fell in love with more than anybody else for nearly three years.
I am still not over the fact that she loves somebody else and every other girl I've been with since I know her has just made me even more aware of the fact that she was perfect for me.

I just wasn't perfect for her

we are still really good friends and sometimes I think that I am on the way of getting over her, though I don't know if this will kill my future relationships and I really don't want to know how I would react if she got together with the guy she likes.

>>8017388

Have some con guest that I think is hot find me attractive. Minus the "I think is hot", this has happened multiple times, so I have hope for myself. I don't even know why I think this would be so great; It's not like anything would come from it. External validation, I guess?

I've given up, I think. At this point I just want reassurance that I pass and people are complimenting me thinking I'm a guy and not a good crossplaying girl.

If I were to have a fantasy about going to a con I think I'd just like to make a really elaborate costume and have people fawn over me.

>>8019552
>guys have issues with trans
You're thinking mtf. If you're ftm you're way more likely to get a guy.

Well. It was my first convention i attended in Cosplay. I was the colossal titan from SNK. Mask and Bodysuit.

I was watching a panel and all of a sudden this grill comes up to me and starts talking to me. I soon find out that one of her friends had dared her to come up to me and kiss me on the cheek. She asked to do so, I agreed to.

We both went our separate ways afterwards. Never to see each other again. Didn't even ask for her name/number

The thirst is real itt

>>8021031
OP did, he said he is mostly interested in guys despite girls hitting on him, but gay men generally like dick and don't go for transmen.

My convention fantasy is to finally get my gf to agree to take home a qt cosplayer to have a threesome with. Last time I tried it was with a Ryuko, girl -lookked- old enough, can't really be sure til you card them nowadays though...

OP here, >>8021612 has it right. I like men but not many gay men like ftm guys (and I don't blame them) and I've yet to meet a bisexual man who didn't think of me as a way to experiment with his sexuality.
Girls are okay as romantic partners but I'm not at all attracted to their bodies. Couldn't have sex with one or do anything with her, so unless she was asexual I doubt that would work out.
