/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>favorite con
San Japan for sure. They just announced their first guest for their December guest announcements. I hope they add more fashion booths and better music guests this year

>con creeps
Besides Jebus, be on the look out for an SJ volunteer by the name James. He ran an ISMD event trying to get young SM cosplayers to 'shoot for a commercial' and after a bad turnout, he called out two events that happened on the same day. One event happened to be for a disabled cosplayer raising money for a charity. He also has had history following younger girls around and using his volunteer status to get away with it.

>>8745263
I can second San Japan, its my favorite con, never had any real problems with harassment and its a pretty calm environment except for the memes.


Con creeps though, I know someone mains DFW usually in a green fursuit. He hangs out with RealTDragon, he has harassed quite a few girls and a male I know.

>>8745233
San Japan is generally the best con in Texas, at least in terms of how well the cosplay show is run/maintained (prize support, staff) and programming reliability/quality for the most part. They might not always have the best guests and they sometimes tend to have reoccurring ones people get tired of seeing, but they're still pretty much the best we've got here.

Second best, I'd probably say either A-Fest or A-Kon, though the latter is still going slightly downhill in some aspects as it continues to grow. If Matsuri ever got their stuff together regarding everything but guest turnouts, maybe it would be on the list (and even then, they obviously have a bad rep with how they treat their guests).

As far as con creepers, I haven't really heard much lately besides the usual Chris Cruz or whatever. I know there's this one dude (read: possibly fakeboi?) that hangs around underage kids and goes by some Homestuck character's name that everyone says to avoid, but other than that I really don't know. Most of the creepers I remember are either out of the con scene, in jail, or cleaned up their act.

>>8745263
Heebie jebus.

>>8745305

I can attest to the creepiness of the green fursuiter. They reached up my friend's skirt and made contact. Their excuse was that it was okay because they are a female now (trans).

>>8745305
OH MY GOD. Is this him? He broke my prop one year.

>>8745379
Not the anon you're replying to, but that's definitely him. He was running around at DCC two years ago without the suit's head on (which is also attached to the chest area, and of course he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath so his chest was exposed) and he ended up bumping into my mom at one point and he left visible sweat stains all over her shirt just from a millisecond of contact. It was disgusting, she bought a new shirt in the dealer's room and threw that one away. It was her first con too, bless her heart.

>>8745363
I hate to be that guy that says "they're making us look bad!"
But god damn, that makes all trans people look like creeps.
Also, I just moved to Texas, so this is useful infromation.

>>8745339
Is it this guy, anon?

Either way, watch out for this one. He will give unwanted hugs and will follow you around until you hug him.. It also doesn't help he is a homefag with unsealed body paint. He ruined my school uniform top and when he noticed he quickly ran off.

>>8745379
That's him. Lately he hasn't been wearing his fursuit (ANT he wasn't) but always carries a bass canon

>>8745390
Fuck. I wish I knew to avoid him. I am from out of state and was visiting with friends... I didn't know.

He came up to me in his suit and was gesturing about my cosplay and was really excited. He wanted to examine my staff (it was a really basic wooden rod, so I wasn't worried), so I let him. He started posing with it and then SLAMMED the end on the ground and bent the foam blade I made.

>>8745411
They all are pretty much the same to me, so I don't recall exactly. (I know absolutely nothing about Homestuck except that the fandom is absolute batshit, so I'd like to remain ignorant.)

I think he at least went by Dirk (or Dave) and his real last name or the character's full name, Dirk (or Dave) Strider on fb. I believe I recall people having posted about him all over tumblr at one point calling him out for saying he was gonna rape some underage girls or something and runs Homestuck panels as well? Not sure if I'm mixing several of them up, but if I recall correctly, this one either attended or ran some pool party at San Japan or A-kon and there were screenshots of him saying he was going to do illegal non-con acts to people.

I'll keep looking around for these posts that I remember people mass posting about this dude, and when I find them, I'll post them on here so people know who to avoid like the plague.

Green fursuiter is named Riku the fox or something, here's his tumblrs.
http://rikufoxwolf.tumblr.com/
http://derping-in-a-kigu.tumblr.com/
He was super excited to see my friend and I in 2014, but he just sat there squeaking at us for 5 minutes while his handler giggled away. No idea what he wanted from us except to dance since he had a little radio with him. IIRC he was at the rave wearing just the head that year dancing with people.

What's the opinion on ikki?
This'll be my first time going

>>8745918
First time going for me too. I'm pretty pumped. I'm a local lolita so pleasantly surprised to see a brand designer guest.

>>8745411
Oh crap I remember that guy. He asked to take a picture with me at a con. He seemed a little nervous and odd. He asked if he could put his arm around me for the picture and I said ok then while he put his arm around me and grabbed my butt for a second. He looked at me really scared so I thought it was an accident. Now I'm questioning it was or not. He did leave some cracked paint on my cosplay after he left.

>>8745941
>>8745918

Ikki is pretty cool, they're having a new years party this year and moving to a bigger hotel. One more for cosplayer friendly and not just panels like the last one.

Thanks for this thread! I'm a Texas native, and I've never been to a con before. I was actually considering both a-kon and San Japan, though matsuri and the one that just happened in Galveston would be a lot closer.

Between akon and sj which one do you guys feel is the most balanced between cosplaying and general anime fandom? I've always wanted to cosplay but being my first time I'd prefer a con that put as much emphasis on panels, art, and musical acts.

>>8746321
I would honestly go with San Japan, I personally haven't attended akon but I been to SJ a few times and they seem very big on panels/VA's and cosplaying and are organized. Plus the dealers room/artist alley is heavenly

>>8746321
A-kon is massive (bloated even) and has been around for almost 27 years but San Japan is frequently praised for being good quality, although it is smaller and fairly new.
I'd pick which ever is closer to you and then branch out if you like it and want to go to other cons. Being new to cons you probably won't see the difference in quality for either one until you get more familiar with the scene.

>>8746356
>>8746359
Thank you both for the replies, San Japan does seem really cool and I love visits to San Antonio. I imagine a-kon to be like the Texas rennaisance festival of fairs where its a classic for good reason, but the sheer size is mostly filler.

Both of these cons are equal distance give or take 15 minutes but a-kon is happening a lot sooner.

Are there any good networking forums or social sites devoted to the Texas con community? I'd like to make a couple friends who can offer advice like this.

>>8746482
You should check out A-Kon and San Japan Facebook groups if your interested in having friends that attend one or both cons. A lot of people from SJ that attend A-Kon

>>8745918
Bland con. I went during tent con though, so maybe things have changed. Still excited to see JHart there

>>8745918
Ikki is fun if you've got good friends and like to party. I love walking down 6th street to get pizza at night.

>>8746281
>moving to a bigger hotel.

They say that but it's actually a smaller hotel. Of course no one will believe me until they see it. It won't be like the tent-con days but it will be packed.

>>8746510
They're not next to 6th street anymore as they moved 10 miles away from downtown. There is hardly anything to do around north Austin.

>>8746321
If you want good guests and guest programing go to Anime fest. This year they had 5? Japanese artists. People who worked with ghibli, on space dandy, manga-ka

Unfortunately their fan submitted panels are all enormous garbage but a lot of cons are.

>>8746622
How bad are we talking here though?

I've only been to Afest once and it wasn't awful as I recall

>>8746578
Fucking shit really??? Damn... At least I have getting shitfaced to look forward to. I'm gonna miss the annual pizza walk though.

>>8746650
Stop avatarfagging.

>>8746664
Relax senpai, it's just something I do in local threads. I don't fag up other threads with my bullshit. There's really not any image content to be sharing ITT anyhow.

>>8746685
isn't being an annoying tripfag enough for you

>>8746685
You sound like you were inspired by Jebus. Who are you so I can avoid you at cons?

>>8746685
You just did it in another thread and it honestly doesn't matter if you only do it in "local" threads, "don't use avatars" is a global rule. Stop. If your replies are of no value without the image then the image certainly isn't adding anything.

>>8746695
Didn't really think I was bothering anyone, but I'm not gonna make things worse trying to speak on my own behalf so I'll just ghost this thread.

>>8746695
Can't stand the guy, to be honest.

>>8746702
Uh oh it's the fun police.

Hey guys, just started a line group for Ikkicon. In case any of you guys want to make some friends beforehand or something. Can't really discuss a meet up for now since the schedule isn't up yet I think.

http://line.me/R/ti/g/LO3XK-hwpX

>>8746482
This line group isn't a forum or something but some of us are friends already and we go to cons all the time like SJ, Akon, Afest, AM, etc. If you want to join to get to know people like that, that's cool. The Facebook groups are useful but some of the people can be really cringey t.b.h.

>>8746771
K cool thank you I'll check it out tomorrow if this threads still up.

I have a question: Has anyone here ever competed in A-Kon's cosplay contest? I've heard it's vaguely shitty but I was thinking of giving it a go.

Is ikkicon having a tea party or what?

>>8747436
Still wondering this myself. I've been waiting for them to announce the ticket sales forever...

>>8745918
It's...not really the best con in the state, by far, but it's pretty decent. As a local that lives North of Austin, I like the Arboretum much better because not only do I not have to drive far, parking isn't a pain in the behind like the 6th street location was. That, and food options are much nicer in that area with the Domain close by.

I agree that it is a sorta smaller hotel, but I don't really think it's going to be too terribly crowded...hopefully. You'll have a ton more outside space than downtown to take photo shoots and hang out if it's not too cold, but inside it's really compact.

With the area, though, you're pretty much at a crossroads for major traffic, since 183, 360, and Mopac tend to get extremely bad in that area around 4-6pm on Friday.

Anyone know that furry that always has a squeaker in their mouth? Its annoying, I got stuck on an elevator with them.

>>8747835
Are there any restaurants in walking distance?

>>8748956
Just look up what restaurants are in the arboretum. They should all be in walking distance. I haven't been in that area in years, but last time I was there was a thundercloud subs, Amy's ice cream, a Mexican place

Who is the most obnoxious cosplayer in Texas?

>>8749010
Amy's ice cream is my shit. Also, uber here is really cheap and there's a ton of stuff in a ~3 mile radius. The domain (other mall) has a lot of restaurants.

Popular j-pop idol group Morning Musume 16' is coming to AM

http://www.helloproject.com/event/detail/f54e3592739c63ca3d6dcbdf6ffc938c6a901fc0

>>8746706
Shouldn't you be pretending you're a popular voice actor or something?

>>8748956
Just a heads up, while there's tons more food options in the area, nothing is really going to be super cheap. The Arboretum is more of an upscale area than Downtown, so we have "fancier" places around there. Anything within immediate walking distance is going to cost you usually anywhere from $12-20+ a plate. Some of these places off the top of my head include: Cheesecake Factory, Blue Baker, Eddie V's, Z'Tejas, Drunk Fish, and Estância Churrascaria.

I'm not sure if they still have a Five Guys there.

A little bit further in the Arboretum, there's a La Madeline, Trader Joe's, Newk's, and P.F. Chang's (although the last two I've never been to so I don't know the prices).

Closer to Braker Lane which is about a mile max down where the HEB is, there's a See's Candies (if you're wanting a Cali candy fix), Mama Fu's Taco Bell, McDonald's, Jimmy John's, and Chick-Fil-A and Wendy's across the highway.

If you're looking for much cheaper sit-down fare ($5-15/person), I suggest driving or getting an Uber/Lyft down the street to Duval Road, where there's a Chuy's, IHOP, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's (might be a Groupon still for it) and Rudy's BBQ.

>>8749038
Pantsu.

>>8749038
Jet. Like I know everyone here always seems to be riding his dick, but seriously:
He's pretentious as fuck. Next time you're at a con, test my theory and hold an extended conversation with him and see if you don't cringe out after about ten minutes. Such a high opinion of himself. Pretty douchey.
I got stuck next to him once in a holding room for a cosplay competition a couple years back and he just kept trying to seem like he knew more than the staff and show off how knowledgeable he was, and he really didn't know better than them and it was kind of embarrassing.

>>8747197
I still want to know about this.

>>8749181
Lol I'm the farthest thing from famous there is. I exclusively voice background characters.

>>8749386
The past several years I was in cosplay contests where we were sharing a holding room, he never really seemed too pretentious? I mean he is a wee bit haughty, but I mean it's sorta merited and easy to brush off because he tends to be a really nice guy and is pretty spot on to the characters he cosplays. I've never really seen him be cringy, but maybe that's because I've never interacted with him for too long. Last time I was in a super huge outfit struggling to open a door, he walked away from his group, opened it and held it open until I managed to get through. Maybe he gets full of himself from time to time when he's excited?

>>8749347
My lack of communication with other people in the community the past year is so obnoxious, for sure!

>>8749347
Seconded. So self-centered and embarrassing.

>>8746771
idk what your standards are but the people in these line groups are pretty damn cringey

>>8749441
Is it fun?

>>8749479
It really is. I sort of get 'stage fright' when I do auditions, but voicing background stuff means there's no pressure because my lines really aren't that important. It's even more fun doing background noise, because then there's two or three other people with me and we just get to sort of improv stuff.
Sage for off topic and talking about myself.

>>8749466
I guess what bothers me is that yeah, he'll do polite and "chivalrous" things (like holding that door for you), but then turn around and use that to be like "see, this is why I'm such a good person and all these kids today just suck."
And yeah he looks good in his costumes, but he doesn't make them. He like to keep that fact on the DL, and I guess that's another thing that bothers me.
I dunno, I used to think he was cool a few years back but after those few hours sitting directly next to him he's just been slowly pissing me off more and more every time I interact with him.

>>8749471
chill f.am :^)

>>8749441
Hopefully you stay that way.

>>8746771
Is it run by the same obnoxious faggots who run the other line groups?

>>8749743
No tripfags/namefags/avatarfags were involved in the creation of the group

>>8749740
Are you someone that I know and did something to make upset or are you just trying to stir up pointless drama for shits and giggles? If it's the former, I apologize, if its the later I can't help you.

>>8749767
So the same people. Gotcha.

>>8749837
I'm sorry that no one likes you Smokey

>>8749837
Is it really that fun being all by yourself?

quit derailing the thread faggots

>favorite con
rtx, but i have fond memories w/ austin wizard world (lots of good merch)

wanna go to a-kon & secretly want to attend AM bc i wanna experience it (i haven't been to many cons and it's not even 40 mins from me :|)

>>8749934
>calling others faggots
>wants to go to AM
>:|

>>8746771
Line link is dead btw.

>>8749710
thanks for proving my point

>>8749934
There's nothing to discuss so of fucking course it's going to get derailed. Besides, you niggas are going to go to AM anyway, don't fucking kid yourselves.

>>8749788
>getting rused on /cgl/
Are you new or just legit retarded?

what happened to the ikkicon line group?

>>8749967
Raided by a fucktard. Anyway, it'll be nice to meet new people at this con.
Would love for a schedule to be released. I've heard it's kinda shitty but I want this year to be good.

>>8745233
>Texas Thread
Texas was in my minesweeper game.

>>8749949
nigga stfu why are you such a cunty 13 year old cool it

>>8745437
I would have killed him either way, you don't handle things that aren't yours like that. Nice Hawke btw

>>8749951
because i honestly don't give a shit whatever the owners have done; buying a ticket won't be sweat off my back and it's still a new experience sooooooo yeah

>>8750022
i guarantee you i am not who you think you are talking to, there are several of us who think you lot are cringey as fuck

>>8751159
Oh no! An anonymous person dubiously claiming to represent a group of people says that people he has never met are cringey!

>>8751159
You must be 18+ to use this site, anon

If another group was made, how many of you would prefer a specific type of app? Like Kik, Line, etc.

Or if anyone knows something better to use, that would be neat too.

I'd be willing to meet up with a few people ahead of time. A good bunch of anons I know are down in San Antonio and will be making the commute on New Year's to get there ahead of time.

So general Texas con question: I just moved here from California and the people there were major cunts about wearing in-progress cosplays and would tell you you shouldn't even wear your costume until it was at least 95% done. Is it like that here at Tx cons? I ask because since the move I haven't had time to finish much but I do have one new one I'd like to wear but it's maybe only 65% done and missing some details. I feel like it shouldn't be a big deal since it's not like I plan on competing or anything.

>>8751348
Hmm, that depends, what sort of details are you missing and how well know is the character?

Obviously, if it is more well know people can more easily notice the issues with the costume. I've observed with more niche series people are just happy to see it cosplayed at all, even poorly/unfinished.

>>8751355
It's one of the travelers from the Journey game. I have the head done, and the red robe and tights, all of that; I just don't have any of the designs sewed onto the robe part or the scarf. I might could add some of the simple lines at the bottom but I doubt I can add the more complex stuff before Ikkicon which is what I'm thinking of wearing it to.

I feel as though there should be one big line group for tx anons...

>>8751348
As long as you are going to finish and eventually wear the finished costume to a con, it's not a big deal. I think people get annoyed at cosplayers who are always wearing their unfinished POS's to cons and then not finishing because they want to do new thing xyz which will get them more attention. As long as you aren't that cosplayer, who cares? Do what you want.

>>8751348
Most likely you won't get asked for many pictures. Texans are generally polite until you actually offend them.

>>8751168
>>8751182
stay upset, kids, sorry one person thinking you're annoying and gross bothers you so much

>>8751949
Does your mommy know you're using her computer?

Is lolita popular at Texas cons? I'm from the east coast, and I feel like you see lolita, but cons are overwhelmingly cosplay in conparison. Is it the same here?

>>8752011
>>8751949
>>8751182
>>8751168
>>8751159
Damn, dude, I've never been in Line or met any other gulls, but judging from this shit, I don't want to if you're all this childish. Could you please stop shitting up this thread?

>>8752049
It's a recent thing. For a while AM was the only con with dedicated lolita programming, but San Japan came out with their own events a couple years ago, and now Ikkicon is following suit. I think it depends on how involved or connected the local comm is.

>>8745233
Going to Matsuri next year.
I was wondering if there was any Local Lolita meet ups until then? I would love to get to know a few of you guys before the day of the con.

>>8749038
Zergling

>>8749038
Ayriath, Bitsy, or that one crazy girl who cosplays Terra (FF6) and did WoW cosplays a few years back

>>8749788
Did you cosplay Orochimaru at one point?

so am i the only one who liked ANT? it felt like old a fest to me... only even smaller.

>>8751843
>>8751892
I do plan to finish it after Ikki and I don't care about getting my picture taken so it sounds pretty good to me, thanks for the advice anons.

>>8752049
Actually we were discussing this and it's apparently not even one of us. Seems like a bitter anon is just dragging out a fight to make us look bad or they're just bored or something. Of course I can't speak for everyone and I can't even prove it myself, but we're all positive people who get along so I sincerely doubt it's one of us acting this childish. We're happy to welcome others into our group but also fine enough with it being just us.

>>8752078
Matsuri as in AM in Houston? Yes the Houston Lolita Community is very active and there is at least one meet a month. It's the holidays so there's been even more meets being made. There's also the Houston Lolita Society that's a smaller, separate comm but still active somewhat. However because of the AM drama, either does not involve itself with AM directly and it will be very difficult to talk about it civilly. There can be a meet up at AM but I'm very sure it wouldn't work out considering the drama and if it does happen, prepare for negative consequences online. Just warning you since AM is a controversial issue.

However you are always free to get to know lolitas in the area! Just join the comm on fb and make a post! Very sure you'll get some responses. I'm a lolita in the area myself and if you're interested in getting to know me, feel free to drop a throwaway email and I'll send you a message. I'm always happy to make new friends.

>>8752152
Shit I think I know who you're talking about when you say the Terra cosplayer. Does she live in north Texas? She's so fucking pretentious.

>>8752078
>matsuri
>local lolita meetups
I assume you mean local as in Houston? Good luck.

>>8752069
I'm glad Ikki and SJ have started to move forward with the lolita themes since A-kon can't get the Steampunk flavored rods out of their assholes. They treat the lolita comm like shit.

>>8752078
kek good luck, the lolita comm out here will gut you for going to matsuri. The way the leighs have harmed the comm is pretty unforgivable, there is a lot of shit that went down that a lot of us haven't even been public about.

>>8752161
Yeah. I usually wear that cosplay at A-kon or AFest. That reminds me, I need to rewire my purple butt bow...

>>8752152
>>8752614

Yeah, I know who you guys are talking about. Sarah Esperkin Cosplay I believe?

>>8752657
Oh my. I had no idea there was controversy.

>>8753090
not sure if new you're here or oblivious.

>>8749347
This all the way

Smug, incompetent, and rude.

He pantsu, is it true that you don't make any of your own cosplays and just have family members do it? I've heard that from quite a few people both on here and irl.

>>8752595
I mean, it was obviously more than one person, so I would guess one in your group was also being petty, judging by how quickly some of you were replying like you were checking the thread, but I genuinely don't care. Just drop it if it's not actually a thing in your positive and mature little group, then.

>>8751813
Horrible idea. This state is too damn big.

>>8752152
bitsy doesn't cosplay anymore and ayriath is really tame.
also that's sarah esperkin and she was dating that erin guy or something

>>8752789
That's her. She's annoying and extremely full of herself. She's nicer in person at times but her online presence is obnoxious.

>>8753350

She used to be much worse. She's still learning how to people correctly. Though the same can be said about most people on this board.

>>8753215
She makes her cosplays then only wears them if she looks prego in it because
>muh married couple
Then gets mad when someone sells cosplays she made for them for more than what she charged.

>>8753310
Not for constant meetups, just for staying in touch in between cons and such. Unless there are just too many people here in general, then that would make sense.

>>8751813
I love this idea! Especially keeping up with who's going where and where the Texas gulls would like to meet, at or outside of cons. Maybe to make it more organized, have specific groups for both North Texas, South Texas, etc or for certant cities.

>>8749441
That's kind of cool though. What were you in?

>>8749347
>>8753215
What? Really? This is strange, every encounter I've had with her was pleasant. We've even compared techniques and it was not at all condescending or smug.

I frequently lurk /cgl/ and this is the first time I've head rumors about her costumes not being self-made.

>>8753466
>gets mad when someone sells cosplays she made for them for more than what she charged
This seems reasonable? I'm not understanding why this wouldn't be a thing to be put off about?

This is coming off as some half-baked vendetta, anon.

>>8753533
I think breaking it down into cities would make the most sense. Those groups would be the most likely to be at the same cons and easiest to meetup outside of cons.
One big group for all of Texas would probably have way too many people.

>>8749038
Silly Little Missy. As long as she is in the spotlight of every con in Texas, she wont throw a bitch fit.

>>8753606

Elaborate?

>>8749038
xWhiterussia

>>8753606
Seconded. Missy is a bitch irl with choppy wigs and crooked smile who had her fans pay for her trip to Dragon Con because she got rear ended and 'didn't want to disappont anyone.'

>>8753606

I'm curious too. Like has she done anything of note?

>>8753711
>>8753750
She pushes her way to get into every single con guest list. She craves attention so much and is an ass to cosplayers who surround her. She trash talks everyone who doesnt kiss her ass and has a big ego. Not only that, she makes up dumb excuses for her HAVING to attend every con like what >>8753741 said.

>>8753782

So she does what most wannabe cosfame cosplayers do by mass emailing cons to be a guest. And a lot of cons are stupid enough to fall for it.

>>8753809
I don't understand why people invite her. She makes half assed cosplays and her makeup style is either atrocious or the same for every character. Not to mention the shoop is ridiculous.

>>8753568
Nothing super well known, though I did get to do some stuff in season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul, which was pretty cool. Toriko, Tenchi Muyo (War on Geminar), and Prison School are the other ones I've done bit roles and background noise for.

>>8753846
No one gives a fuck.

Am I the only one thinking this tripfag is samefagging?

>>8753852
>>8753859
I'm just making conversation. Is that not what this thread is for?

>>8753859
There's a reason she's a tripfag.

>>8753316
Ayriath is tame cosplay wise, but she's annoying as fuck 90% irl by intentionally sparking arguments and debates with her uneducated opinions. Girl needs to get off Facebook every now and then.

Being hounded for no reason aside, has anyone taken a look at Ikkicon's giveaway list this year? I can't escape those goddamn hoverboard scooters if my life depended on it.

http://ikkicon.com/giveaway/

>>8753721
Don't even get me started on her lol

>>8753721
Oh god this chick is ten kinds of crazy with eyes to match

>>8753606
>>8753741
>>8753830
But u guys, she's obviously "Celebrity Cosplay Talent"!!!!!

>>8753846
That's neat! How does one get to be a VA, even bit roles sound like fun!

Honestly, I typically find your post style irritating but this is more intersting that the other mediocre drama fishing going on the thread.

>>8749038
This question seems to be just vendetta answers hoping to bitch, aside from >>8753606 who is pointing out a legitimate blight on the community.

>>8753919
And this is honestly one of her better looking selfies too.

>>8753914
>being hounded for no reason
You think you're tough shit because you're a "voice actor" and having a trip gloating about it just proves that. You're no better than cosplayers who think they should be guests at cons because they have 1000 likes on Facebook.

>>8753914
Honey the reason why your being hounded is because none likes a tripfags or selfposters. Literally none gives a shit your a voice actor and your making yourself look bad by doing these things. If none likes Jebus, (which i might add that your pretty much acting like him aside from the pedophilia) none is gonna like you. Welcome to /cgl/

>>8753922
If you email voiceacting@funimation.com and asked to be placed on the open call list you can get your first audition pretty hassle free! That's how I got lucky lol.

>>8753929
I didn't think I was gloating? It's just something I love, so I enjoy talking about it. I doubt I'm good enough to ever be famous.

>>8753601
Yea that sounds better, i wasn't thinking about the amount of texas gulls...

>>8753830
I heard a lot of small cons that rejected her at first got backlash and some threats from her saying she will spread shit about the chairman's. Of course she won't spread shit about big cons like SJ and A-Kon if she gets rejected cause that's just her ass kissing side showing.

She really is fake and sketchy. If your running a con or just see her, please be weary of her. She's very manipulative and fake so she can get something out of you.

>>8753935
Its mainly lolitas that hate Jebus but lolitas are trash to begin with so yeah lol.

>>8753935
It's actually pretty fitting for someone who's friends with Jebus to act like him. Maybe I should start avoiding her at cons.

>>8753962
Definitely not friends with him. He friended me on Facebook and I ended up blocking him

>>8753998
Facebook friend here. Your posts say otherwise, two faced bitch.

>>8754008
Dis gun b gud

>>8754008
Yeahh not gonna bite this bait. Peace out girlscouts.

>>8754008
You can check the archive too. She's friends with Jebus.

>>8754034
>leaves when called out
Typical tripfags

>>8753721
I hate her more than anything in the world. I've known her for a while and she's always been a real cunt. I don't know how anyone can manage to be around her.

>>8754034
Confirmed for typical efamous cosplay trash.

>>8754040
a REAL tripfag would drop trip and defend themselves while pretending to be a third party a la voldie

>>8754043
She was a huge cunt to my friend and I for cosplaying Naruto and Sasuke. She shits on everyone who doesnt like her ships.

>>8754040
Better than her derailing the thread

>>8754049
Don't give slut any ideas.

>>8753721
I was at a festival with her in October. We both entered the cosplay contest and she made some snooty faces at cosplayers who got awarded higher than her. Of course she tried to hide it but she quickly left after the contest. Also going to note that there was 3 winners out of 15 who signed up and she still managed to win a place with her shitty RWBY cosplay.

>>8754049
Spoke too soon anon >>8754056

>>8754058
Oh god, yes. She has the worst sort of fake-nice persona, but you can always see it in her dead bug eyes that she's fuming inside.

>>8754060
>pulling a Jebus
Can we please ban slutcliff and pantsu now?

Can we get back on topic before the thread gets shitcanned or is it too late for that?

>>8754068
Once a tripfag like Slutcliff enters, there's no going back to a normal thread. RIP Texas thread

>>8754068
>wanting a thread about texasfags
Can it.

>>8754034
Hey slutcliff, hows the alcoholism treating you?

>>8754085
Kek, low hanging fruit

>>8753913
This. Everytime I'm on, my stream is bombarded with like 4 of her walls of text in a single hour.

Her cosplays are fine, her ego is not. She needs to tone it down a few levels.

Ok, change of subject:

Who is the best Texas cosplayer?
(hard mode: no Texas Jet or Overbeck)

>>8754115
>Inb4 a shit load of selfposts

>>8754115
I like a lot of Twinzik's stuff. Too bad one of them (can't remember which) is apparently a total cunt.

>>8754115
I really like Southern Cospitality. Not only are they the sweetest people alive and help represent the Touhou community, but their craftsmanship is beautiful. I was so happy to hear about them winning the SJ Master Division.

>>8754115
Pluto Knights are extremely underrated. They do really good stuff and know perfectly well not to stick themselves in any kind of drama.

My runner up award goes to that guy who did Pre-Timeskip Franky at A-Kon and San Japan. Probably the funniest person I've ever met in my life, really wish I got his name. I think he did a Ness cosplay too but I can't find his page.

>>8754126
Selfpost confirmed

Colony Drop Cosplay is the best in texas. Everything they do is amazing. Lorlei is so beautiful and talented. I haven't seen anyone who has come close to her skill level in Texas.

>>8754129
Seconding Pluto Knights. Funny enough, I was looking something up in a cosplay.com forum and StarlightRose has been a member since 2003. I was surprised.

>>8754126
Their touhou panel was amazing! I wouldn't say much about their meetup since it kinda sucked. I hope it turns out better next year. However, I did meet up with a few gulls there so that was the highlight of it

>>8753830
I think you all are being unfair to Missy! She has worked her way to the top and she is only gonna continue gaining more fame and show everyone that she is better than the rest! Leave her alone before I show her these posts!

>>8754141
Show Ayriath and Esperkins while you're at it. 3 birds with one stone.

>>8754141
Whiteknight alert. Please go and show her and maybe you can help her towards her self realization.

What became of Jet Texas, the Warhammer sisters, The Men Who Stare at Suits, Dezzy Diamond, and Pyramid head girl

>>8754150
I know Dezzy Diamond and PHG still cosplay but I think they do more local cons and events now.

>>8754103
do you have your settings on wrong? I have her added and I almost never see her post anything crazy lengthy lately.

>>8753215
Smug, I can be sometimes. I won't deny that.
Incompetent, in what sense?
Rude...what did I do to you to seem so? I generally try to be nice as possible to anyone I meet/know unless they've been snarky with me or you're making me uncomfortable. I haven't really gotten to talk to many people for maybe the last two-three years at cons because I'm usually always so busy and running off to be somewhere, so if I brushed you off in a rush or if I was tired/irritable and you took it the wrong way, it wasn't intentional.

I sometimes get help through ideas/tips/guidance sometimes from some family members that know tools for props and some sewing techniques better than I and Masao helps me construct things quite a bit for us every now and then. Anything I've ever not made, which is super rare, I'll say so.

>>8753466
That only happened once where the girl re-sold a cosplay for much more, which was a little upsetting. I mean, maybe I shouldn't get ticked off because I still got some money out of it, but when you list something for months only to get offers for crummy eBay costume trades and best offers of half of your listing price, and the person you sold it to ended up selling it for much more, yeah, it's a little unnerving.

Also what? I only have one pregnant cosplay and it's done because it's canon to the (messed up) timeline of the show. What other costumes do I have that I only wear if I look knocked up in?
There's further worse people in the state than I, surely. Sage because this thread is already a sausagefest with other trips.

>>8754136
If you're going to self post, make it a little less obvious. They are definitely not the best in Texas and actually aren't very well liked locally. Bye.

Honestly whoever was the vendetta still lotting me with Sarah after three years way to hold old grudges. Congrats on dragging me out of hermit mode to comment to bad the posts were deleted already.

>>8754201
Fuck off dickshit. Literally no one likes you.

>>8754203
You seem to like me enough to comment on my post, and um ok ya you sure got me there with calling me a dickshit, shitlord

anyone who goes to cons in texas knows to watch out for Chris Cruz

>>8745305
i love san japan, the goers are out going and everything is pretty close.

>>8754230
Him getting arrested right in front of me was sweet sweet justice

Akon has always been my favorite!! My friend is super into pmmm and I go to the photo shoots with her but this dude is always there and always creepy and I'm like why

watch out for Nick strider, or Nicholas Strider. He is a dirk cosplayer in the homestuck community, as far as i know and have witnessed, He's into really underaged girls, he himself recently turned 19 and continues to flirt and have sex with girls as young as 14, We hung out once and he tried to force himself on me as well as break my shit in my room, when he was drunk. This guy has no chill, and I call him a faggot everytime i see him, BEWARE

>>8754241
I heard people were going to make #freecruz shirt's for next years onicon

i also heard he got his ass whooped by an android 18 cosplayer. sweet sweet justice.

>>8754248
That's who I was talking about earlier in the thread here >>8745339 and >>8745411.
I wasn't sure what exactly he went by other than some Strider character on Homestuck, but that's him. Thank you for clarifying!

>>8754248
Oops, tagged the wrong post, so deleting and reposting with correct link.

>>8754248

>>8754263
Oh him and that guy fighting was a long time coming and they both got arrested over it cause they both wanted to press charges. Honestly the guy he fought using an underage girl to bait chris is a bit low but it was effective enough

>>8754246
Congrats you found my page and calling me creepy ok that's cool I guess

>>8754264
No problem at all, He literally preys on younger girls, i see him at cons he is surrounded by young girls, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but he is a definitely chris cruz's level of creep.

but hell at least chris cruz goes for girls his age.

>>8754270
not true and Nick is a creep like high level

>>8754267
Im not surprised that, thats the case with chris, however, he as an adult male, should understand and control his emotions, he should know by now, that no one will ever fucks with him

>>8754275
Chris has issues though and its pretty obvious and his father is to blame for it and do not take this as me defending him but the kid needs help and needs to get away from his reject of a parent

>>8754277
It takes pain for people to realize the good, so he's just going to have to go through what he's going through until he learns to stop holding daddy's hand.

>>8754280
this is true and this was our mentality with that petition all those months ago. He has to learn the hard way but what do I know I'm a dickshit and apparaent creeper myself

>>8754267
bro damn near every female friend i have has literally run at the sight of you at a con like wyd

How much did you pay these girls? Because I honestly can't stand just walking past you in the convention halls.

Texas Cons are always so Damn dramatic

>>8754291
I was actually asked to be part of that shoot, but ok make your assumptions. Are you done with trying to get some sort of reaction out of me?

asked to be a part of that shoot? i'm not buying this with your creepy ass lol

>>8754303
Think what you will I can't change your mind obviously that's your perrogative, sorry you feel that way though

>>8754292
arent they tho?
someone else to watch out for Forresto see if Pfrost or willow forrest

they add people (any one in the texas con scene) if theyre friends with these other (not gonna disclose their names because they dont need the drama) just to stalk them.

they pretend to be buddy buddy with you, eben tell you lies to make you feel sorry for them when they are literally full of shit, DO NOT give them the time of day. They are manipulative and they need to grow up, I have nothing against forrest, I just know a fucking liar when i speak to one.

went from texas con thread to a roast lmao

>>8754307
feel that way? nah i got facts on you harassing girls/making them feel uncomfortable, but ok

>>8754313
Really? That's a new one considering I don't really talk to anyone but the same 4 to 8 people each day. Just trying to drum up shit I guess

nigga you aint gotta talk to people daily to not be considered creepy it's what you say when you talk to someone new that counts like god damn do want receipts?

>>8754316
that's a new one? you know you fucked up. you've heard this before. i know you have. you also obsess over your ex like crazy on top of harassing other girls. i know one of them was underage when you harassed her.

>>8754291
Tip for posing in Mami, I know you're in the middle but close your legs and sit at a 3/4 angle. Not even trolling, you look a lot bigger in comparison to everyone else.

>>8754323
ngl my posing sucks ass appreciate it

Stalking ex's are common in the con community apparently

>>8754328
Ya apparaently cause according to that vendetta chan I obsess over someone that I'm honestly glad is not in my life anymore

>>8754328
doesn't make it okay lol he's been talking about his ex fiancee or some shit for like 3 years straight like nigga move on he probably scared her the fuck away too

>>8754329
NIGGA YOU TALK ABOUT HER ALL THE FUCKING TIME DON'T SAY YOU'RE GLAD SHES OUT OF YOUR LIFE THATS A DEAD ASS LIE

>>8754330
I have? Nigga please you need up update your sources

>>8754334
so are you gonna ignore my comment about you harassing an underage girl/multiple other girls or what??? you know i got ya ass on that one

>8754329

Im sure people only get on CGL To do just that anyway .-. rarely is CGL used for connecting with others in a positive way. lol i love it for the gulls though, cant lie i like seeing the drama because it lets me know who to not talk to, Im SO fucking glad i go to con strictly for merch and tournies

>>8754338
You don't have my ass on anything I have never harassed anyone espically someone underage you can keep thinking that and it's ok, but you need something more in your life than a stupid vendetta towards me. I'm honestly boring and like I said wasting time with all this.

also
>>8754330
>>8754332
Samefagging hard

>>8754292
imho, it's not the cons that are, it's our fucking cgl threads because the same dipshit (or various dipshits) always comes here trying to stir shit by mentioning like, the same five cosplayers that they hate and want to see ridiculed,
If my eyes have to be assaulted with this EXACT POSTING PATTERN >>8754136
>>8754184 ever again I will literally set the entire state on fire. And go down with it. I don't even care.
I never run into this much drama at an actual con. I never even run into any of these cosplayers at an actual con.
Also, in the interest of rerailing this thread, I am still wondering about the A-Kon cosplay show for anyone who has competed.
See >>8747197

>>8754344
the fact is the person you harassed is someone very close to me. idc if you know who i am by this point, but you have harassed a shit ton of my friends. keep on acting innocent tho lmao cons already got a lookout on you since you have a history of being a creep.

>>8754313
He also cornered pantsu against a wall two years ago and tried to kiss her until she pushed him away and rejected him because she was taken.
Mutual and I stopped her down by the tree at ikkicon and took her away from him stalking her when she told us what happened.

He creeps on plenty of other girls especially borderline underage.

>>8754347
Hi justin

>>8754348
see. someone else got facts too.

>>8754355
nope. not justin. idk who that is.

New thread for those who actually want to do discussion

>>8754349

>>8754348
LMAOOOO I LOVE ALL THESE PEOPLE WITH FACTS THESE ARE SOME GOOD ASS RECEIPTS

bruh i dont condone in stalking, if this neck roll is stalking people, jabba needs to chill out and get a hobby other than cosplaying, because apparently this shit is causing them some stress. i do not give a fuck hahaha

>>8754347
Since this isn't Justin. Is this Ed or Casey? Regardless, I agree with you.

>>8754367
nope. neither of those people. i'll be surprised if anyone can figure out my name lol.

did you really start hiding on anon omg

>>8754369
nah not hiding, and I don't stalk people also jabba that's a creative one and good shot anon good shot

that sounds fake but okay

>>8754371
actually.. you do stalk people. nice try trying to play innocent, though. but i don't think its working out for you.

>>8754371
i'd be sharing stories but i don't wanna out anyone who doesn't want to be outed. not to mention you know what i'm talking about.

>>8754377
Nice mudslinging anon but ok you keep thinking what you want like I said earlier nothing I can do to change that just its not healthy to devote your entire being to hating one person

>>8754382
i'm not devoting my entire being to hate someone. i'm just here to out your ass as a creep. i had no clue you were even on this thread.. nor do i even care. you're a creep. you don't know what no means. you force yourself onto underage girls. i have friends who have pretended to be lesbian just to make you leave them alone. not just one friend.. but multiple friends.

you should prolly stop lyin boo it aint good for ya health

that was @ zergling btw >>8754393

>>8754397
you're good, don't worry

>>8754393
my health is fine thanks for the concer I guess?

no one on this damn earth is concerned for that. believe me.

>>8754402
you're still gonna deny shit instead of own up like a man?

This is the type of shit I have to explain to my family.

I volunteer a lot at these conventions, I often hand out water, give advice and distribute badges to con goers, I enjoy the community but when you have older men, harassing, and preying on young girls. There is no chance that they are a pedophile, they are.

>>8754414
Right? I'd gladly be handing out evidence but I'm not about to out these victims for fear this creep would go after them again.. Which I wouldn't put past him as I've had contact with him at cons as well.

>>8754359
Thank you cause this one took dive

>>8754309
I'm surprised this girl was mentioned, but yes absolutely stay away from Forrest. She is psycho, manipulative, stalks people then accuses them of stalking her, and is always filled with nonstop drama. I never knew a 16 year old could be filled with so much negativity.

>>8754436
I added Forrest thinking they were someone I had previously met at Anime matsuri, anyway they messaged me sort of befriending me and i knew something was up because they only added me thinking i would bring up their ex. I told them in the most nicest way that i dont care and to leave them alone. because they know what youre doing, i know what youre doing and everyone else knows you stalk them so chill the fuck out, They still try to be buddy buddy with anyone who knows their ex. since ive told them i dont give a fuck they dont dare bother to ask me about their ex. or get me to talk down about them. Honestly Forrest needs to move the fuck on and grow the fuck up. Its like irritating having to deal with other peoples BULLSHIT.

Lauren Pihl is in Texas these days. Just a heads up, she goes by Aoife Haney.

>>8754136
can you be any more obvious you are self posting? desu your craftsmanship is mediocre af and the only reason you have awards is because you go to all these piss ant tiny cons collecting awards because everyone else is wearing bought shit

>>8754309
forrest chick is confirmed for 10/10 fucking psycho please do yourselves a favour and stay away. she literally stalks people online and at cons and never stops talking shit or talking about how great she is...like okay you're sixteen calm the fuck down and do your homework or something for fucks sake and get off the internet

>>8754528
I really cant stand that girl

>>8754528
I will literally eat my own arm if that's actually Lorelei posting, I almost absolutely guarantee you its a vendetta-chan.
Like I vaguely dislike Colony Drop as much as the next person but literally no one in the world self posts like that on /cgl/, we all know saying shit like that is a surefire way to have ten people jump in and say "NO THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE SHIT."

>Aaron is here
Great, another obnoxious fat turd who uses a name just to make sure people acknowledge him. This thread just hit new lows.

>>8749347
we were going to have a meetup at a con and she made us change the venue, time, date and everything then didn't even bother to show up.

>>8754551
Pretty sure its a vendetta-chan too since that exact word for word statement was posted last time we had a Texas thread.

>>8754611
Which con was this? I don't recall forcing anyone to change the dates and times of meetups; it's done willingly by the organizer of the meetup. If I don't go to a meetup it's because something legitimate came up, which tends to happen as of late. I make sure to at least have one or two people relay the information to people going. (Not like everyone wants to see me at them anyway?)

>>8754246
I was in the AM contest last year and he was pretty cool honestly. Very friendly. Not sure I like his online presence though, but Im not too fond of anyone who trolls too much.

>>8754482
post pics of this girl
>>8754528
post pics of this forrest girl
>>8754248
post pics of this nicholas

Please, I want picture of people I should avoid.

>>8754609
Here's a fucking cool idea

You guys ALSO shit up the thread by responding to him
So stop being such whiny cunt fuckers and talk about worthwhile shit
