/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Two chunky ugly bitches cosplaying AoT characters at the comic store I play YGO at.

My friends and I were just trying not to gape in absolute disbelief at these girls prancing around the store like they were some really hot shit. They wandered around for like 45 minutes before finally leaving because pretty much no one gave them any attention and we all started cracking up the moment they left.

And the Armin was wearing a flower crown of course, but they both had the run-of-the-mill, just bought from some website cosplays they were just barely squeezing into. I pretty much had my hand over my mouth trying not to giggle too loudly while we just ignored them for the most part, but all cringing in secondhand embarrassment.

I also have an AOT cosplayer that was probably the cringiest I've ever experienced.

He's in my local community, is constantly made fun of, and everyone is pretty sure he has autism. We were at our yearly photoshoot and he came cosplaying pic related, but was only wearing the green cape, a brown button up, jeans, and black sneakers. His hair is to his sholders, and frizzy as fuck. He wore glasses, but they were like ray-ban shaped lenses.

He kept requesting his picture to be taken, so everyone took shots in pity. Our community travels to cons together, so when he came to local con with us, he hooked up with this annorexic gay boy who thought he was lolita for wearing a maid outfit. Autismo told everyone during the car ride back to town their steamy hot hookup story. It was absolutely disgusting.

I would say anyone who cosplays as their OC at cons

So this is a FB friend of a former co-worker, I almost want to friend her so I could post all of her cringey cosplays.

But yeah this is her OC cosplay, it's the main character of her own webcomic which is a Sailor Moon rip-off that's all gothy and about witches.

She's the most pear-shaped person I've ever seen, and I wish I had this picture of her wearing this at a con, but this is all I can get right now. She's honestly a /cgl goldmine, bad makeup pics, bad cosplays, friends with photographers so she has bad glamor shots, is a gender trender tumblrite, and her comic is amazingly cringeworthy. I've only met her once at a town fireworks celebration and she was wearing her OC cosplay.

>>8291833
how are you going to make fun of someone for being cringy when you play ygo in public at a comic shop

>>8292168
Because I'm going to a small local tournament to play a game with my friends for fun and store credit.

>>8291937
What if their OC is really cool?

>>8289689
I don't know about other cities but every con in Montreal has a fuckton of obese/skeltin kirito cosplayers thinking they're hot shit
Haven't been to many cons so that's about it for me

>>8292229
Yeah, no. No one cares about your OC.

>>8292237
> every con in Montreal
How many cons are there in Montreal? Like two?

>>8289689
Probably the neko OCs weebs do. Bonus points if the OC is wearing 'gothic lolita'.

>>8292241
they said "their" not "my" m8

>>8292241
It depends on the community. Where I live it's really common for people to have original Homestuck troll characters that they cosplay and do this sort of larp like role playing stuff. I'm sure there are similar communities around other things like that all over the place.

>>8292244
When I say every con, I mean both cons every year

>>8292171
please stop posting this nightmare fuel face

>>8291963
Ummmmm anon link to comic.

a 15 year old dressed as SeeU

wish I got a picture.

costume was hot glued together, real hair was used, and the buttons were just CDS with sharpie on them.

ears were made of felt.

>>8291963
Please link the comic holy shit

>>8292171
Pretty normal looking. Whats the deal here?

>>8292344
Sounds like a very first cosplay incident.

>>8291963
What's her webcomic called? I need something to cringe at.

>>8292373
>>8292355
>>8292336
I would if I could, but I can't get to it because I'm not FB friends with her and that's the only place she uploads it. My friend is and is the one who showed me all of this crazy shit, so maybe I can get it from him.

It's like the typical 15 year old weeb comic, the baby's first anime style, everyone either works straight forward or in profile, except she's like 23.

Here's one of her 'makeup tests' or whatever she calls it.

>>8292387

At Anime Midwest 2013, a girl did a skit in the masquerade of her OC who was a "Neko (Pronounced Neeko) Ninja." She did things like pretend to seduce this other demon off stage, pick her teeth with her kunai, etc.

I'm really upset that I can't find the video now.

>>8292367

since when are first cosplays "incidents"? just starting out is now a bad thing? my first was literally made the night before with my mom's help because i managed to get a ride to take me to AX06 at the very last minute, and i've learned more and more every year i go.

>>8291833
Just curious what deck do you run?

>>8292366
Horribly photoshopped
She's ugly af without it and is known for completely overshooping everything that she takes
If you search around a bit you'll find the before and after shot of her ass

This is the easiest question I have ever had to answer. It was somehow worse in person

>>8292469
>those faces in the background

>>8292203
... and they're going to look at comics in costumes they like with their friend for fun?

>>8292450
At the time it was Lightsworn Rulers, I've been playing Yosenju's but I'm getting tired of them and will either play Lightsworns or a pet deck for the time being.

>>8292492
Too bad the new LS support is OCG exclusive. I ran them as my main engine in Shaddolls when dolls first came out and loved them since. LS rulers was fun too.
RIP in peace Blaster

>>8292489
Maybe it's just me but cosplaying in public like that is just fucking stupid, and they looked ridiculous.

They basically wandered around the store, loudly proclaiming 'omg we're nerds! Please pay attention to us!' you know, if they saw a game they knew they'd pretty much yell it out loud, it was really pathetic and obvious how desperate they were, and other than an employee asking if the needed something when they paced the store four times, no one have them attention and they left with nothing.

>>8292496
Yeah my heart fucking broke when I realized we weren't getting the new Minerva or Lightsworn Judgement. So no Rulers, and no new fucking support.

I played Mermails for shiggles one week and realized the pain of no Tidal.

>>8292504
A suggestion if I may.
If you don't want to break the bank try out heroes. Its mostly staples that you can slap together from other decks you have, and a few cards from the structure deck. The only expensive card is acid, and he is 15, and if you are in the So Cal area I can even hook you up with one.
They steal games have great match-ups right now so I enjoy them

>>8291937
There's this former friend of mine, 29 years old, who almost cosplayed her OC at a con we were supposed to go to together.
She doesn't write, have a webcomic or anything of the sort, her OC was just this girl who appeared in the background of every piece of fanart she did for other people.
Her drawing style reminded me a lot of neko sugar girls to make it even worse.

I say former friend because she removed herself from the cosplay and convention scene completely, just a few weeks before the con.
Bitch left me hanging, I had no time to find new people to share my room with so that really fucked up my economy for that weekend.

That said, she's far from the most cringy person I've met/seen/known. This was pretty bad though.

>>8292398
>Hey neeko wanna go bowling?

>>8292241
Fan OCs are shit, but I like original design cosplays. Like actual original characters, not fan characters. Unless the design and the character is shit anyway.

>>8292366
This is what's wrong

>>8292873
More details? How cringy?

>>8292469
This is the most cringe worthy I've seen in a while

>>8292489
Anon, w-were you one of those kids?

>>8292171
this isn't that bad. she's at a pool after all

>>8291963
OOOOOOOOH SHIT. She was making out with that overly-hated 11th Doctor at a cosplay picnic last year. She was nuts.

>Duck tape Anastasia

Only on a very rare occasion do duct tape cosplays work. This isn't one of them.

>I know I don't look like Anastasia at all, but I had fun making this pretty dress!

>>8292171
She just looks really annoying.

>>8292469
Oh man, that thing tried to chase me down at AAC last year. It was fucking horrifying. I thought it had to be a joke cosplay, but when I laughed they started galloping down the hall like a /x/ creepypasta.

>>8291963

I am curious to know her cosplay name if she has one or her fb name.

>>8294785
Looks like shes wearing a fucking tarp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDS8hnp9-Jk

Probably this. Apparently he was a really asocial, joyless person backstage.

>>8295218
I couldn't stop laughing but at the same time i just wanted to hide my head and stop watching.

Fucking top kek

>>8294616
No, but I do like doing cosplay in the local store (Though usually in Ms. Marvel or MJ.) and I have a couple people who usually join me (one is my spiderman, and one is a newer cosplayer who DOES like AOT) And it makes me upset knowing people will get pissy when younger cosplayers get excited about stuff they've hear about. My firsr trip I was really similar to them, sans cosplay. I freaked out because I had never been to a shop before. I saw a bunch of games I had wanted to buy but had figured you could only get them online. Comics I wanted to read, etc. Don't shit on people for being excited just because YOU think theyre looking for attention. In all liklihood theyre a new cosplayer or a new attendee of a comic shop.

>>8295370
b-b-but anon, if we acknowledge that we cant make fun of them anymore

>>8295370
Anon, relax, I'm not the OP. Just a joke cause it seemed kinda defensive.

That being said I am not shitting on those who cosplay in stores or are just super excited fans or newbies, I'm shitting on those who are just plain rude and disruptive and use that as an excuse.

>>8291937
What if I'm running a booth in the authors' alley, and I cosplay a character from my book I'm trying to sell?

>>8296465
there's one black guy who does this at toronto cons for some pimp indie comic and oh my god the cringe

>>8293709
Girls look like this without photoshop. Not everyone has perfect skin dude.

>>8296465
As long as you don't look like shit or act cringey people will just think you're dressed up

>>8292171
Is this "Me!MeMe!"?

a dante with a super furry chest

>>8291963
My penis shot back into my body, my asshole clenched up and my face instantly turned into a grimace.

About 4-5 years ago at a small local con. See a 300lb mexican Kagome from Inuyash. A few minutes later I see a young girl probably around 13yo wearing a Gatomon costume with no back, however she had a thick layer of long white hair on her back. It may have been the downy hair that aneorix people grow. I'm not sure the whole thing freaked me out.

About a year ago I went to this con with my friend. There she said we would have to see a friend of hers. So she called them and we waited. Then it happened. This small(probably 13 year old) girl came to us. I think she was cosplaying some character from final fantasy but I couldn't really tell. Her wig looked like it was chewed by a dog as it had spots where you could see her hairnet, she was wearing a leather jacket which looked like a garbage bag and her other clothes were just regular. I would have forgiven her that horrible costume as it was probably her first, but I just couldn't because of the wig. And I usually don't want to be mean to others because of how they look, but for some reason I felt embarrassed for hanging out in the same group with her. It was that bad.

>>8291963
Oh christ she looks so similar to a 'sort of friend' of mine. Who's pretty batshit and also happens to be one of the cringiest cosplayers I've ever seen irl. Idk maybe she just looks like a run of the mill fatty in a shitty half finished Yoko cosplay, but it was made so much worse seeing so many fb updates about it and her constant goading for compliments

>>8301719

is that steph?

>>8302605
The one and only!

>>8302701
LOL she's just disgusting

>>8297596
>Girls look like this without photoshop.
I dont know where the fuck you live, but maybe it's normal in amerifat-land.

>>8292464

>>8304407

This guy again?

>>8304407
He's just salty over how badly he got curb-stomped over being such an inconsolable turd. Must suck to have all your BS catch up to you huh Wayne?

>>8295218
I went to Supanova that year.

I-I'm not sure whether I'm glad or upset that I missed this.

>>8297596

Not everyone's as ugly as you.

>>8292396
Put it back in the box, no one wants to see that.

>>8291833
>at the comic store I play YGO at.
This ruined any credibility you might've had as an individual who possesses any understanding of what is and is not socially acceptable. Like, at least lie and say you were playing Magic or something

>>8291918
>steamy hot hookup story
Come on anon, you can't say it was disgusting without deets

>>8305482
Okay, I'll be fair here and say it may be different where you're from, but in my area the Magic players are all fucking autistic, obese, and scream at the top of their lungs while playing, they're incredibly weird and any interactions with them are usually pretty cringeworthy. The YGO players are usually pretty cool, with a few exceptions obviously, and for the most part its a group of friends playing and shooting the shit.

When my friend I play with went to Maine for school, it was the complete opposite, the Magic players were chill, and the YGO players were embarrassing autists.

>>8294832
my fucking sides, oh my god

The most Cringeworthy costume i had ever seen was at a a one-day free con at a local college (Tigercon) and it was an Eridan Ampora (pic related) cosplayer. And my god, they were so bad.
My memory is fuzzy but iirc they had a black wig with a purple mohawk (like one of those shitty sports/halloween ones) , horrible make up, and the blue stripes on their pants were done in coloured duct tape. I think their body paint was either just plain sloppy (all over their clothes and whatnot) or chalky, at this point i'm kinda glad i can't vivdly remember them. eugh.

>>8292277
This, i think Homestuck is one of the only comics that has actually addressed fan characters/trollsonas in the actual text/panels. Not to mention the author said that all fan-trolls were canon (a horrible mistake there, but some good/interesting ones came from it)

>>8294832
it wasn't a joke. and damn it was terrifying. i was doing AA and remember seeing it and having to turn away when it stopped across from my table. i would not have sold to whoever was wearing it, or anyone with them.

>>8305672
Anything fuckstuck is terrible

>>8292168
>>8305482
>>8305622

>Comic store I play YGO at
What's wrong with doing this? Adding on both YGO and Magic players are assholes. There isn't any better group of card players out there. I was in both scenes and both scenes need to chill out. One YGO guy started a fight with a kid just because he beat him with a Six Sam deck back in the day.

>>8296465
aww i read this in kamiyamas voice lol

>>8297596
nah

>>8306044
>fuckstuck

Why not Homefuck?

>>8294785
Hold the phone is that supposed to be this?

What would possess you to look at this and think "Yeah I think duck tape will do the trick."
