2020 con season in a nutshell be like...

Seriously though, how you handling the downtime? Like continuing fixing your cosplays and whatnot?

[Anonymous No.10450750]

It turns out no cons means no motivation to finish or work on cosplays. No point in making something if it will never get shown. Or if I continue to make things, I'll have a glut of them by the time on run normally again and some of the costumes may be outdated.

Right now, I put cosplay together just to deal with the boredom. Even thought there o cons, I still post them to Facebook pages.

Also wanna add that access to materials and supplies are restricted now with physical visits being discouraged (because crafting is not an essential service for most people) and shipping delayed and/or expensive as heck. Why pay more and risk physical contact with randos at this point in time when the hobby will still be there when the world gets its act together in another year or two?

Same. Cons were the literal reason why I even bothered to finish the projects I started.

I've been checking out old con videos and reviews on youtube to hold myself over. It's kind of random, but times like this make me miss (the original) Cosplay.com. I used to live on the forums in between conventions. Now everything's moved to facebook and it just isn't the same, man. Cosplay.com focused on the craftsmanship where as facebook just focuses on pretty pictures. Those are important, too, I guess.

I've been thinking the opposite. Using this down time to build everything up and have a stock for when everything opens. No more working on shit last minute for a long while.

I'm using the downtime as an excuse to get in better shape for some of the other cos I wanna pull off.
Kinda difficult since no gyms means weights aren't as easy but bodyweight routines are still viable enough.

Anime conventions are officially and completely CANCELLED, Baka! Ugh.

[Anonymous No.10452527]

Why do you always use that faggot in a hat pic?

[Anonymous No.10452539]

it's funny because I come from a little isolated rural mid fuck nowhere desert where cons and animu don't exist and I've always been cosplaying nevertheless all my life, even if just to post online

but lately my passion is simply all gone.

it doesn't help that more and more all you see online is onlyfans cheap shooped content and less actual content.

I'm ugly as shit and poorfag, so why sacrifice so much money and time for cosplay only to post it online and get 3 likes when some shooped plastic wannabe model with some aliexpress wig and not even accurate closet clothes (muh CASUAL COSPLAY) will get much more recognition simply for her body?

i just wanna go back to cons and see the smile on people's faces and joy in their hearts recognising my cosplays gulls, it hurts

A spiraling series of gaming, chemical, and porn addictions that are consuming every moment of my life outside of my dead end job.

kids can still be fags
im sorry you had to find out like this LMAO

I've just been making more cosplays. Being furloughed means loads of free time to craft. Self shooting photoshoots etc. I miss events sure, but the actual crafting has always been the most fun part for me
