Someone said they were lenient towards it because 'they were clearly having fun.'

Think of how no one around them was having fun and feeling fucking uncomfortable. This is one of those things that gets Homestuck such a bad reputation.

Don't know who Ders is, but I'm pretty sure the guy holding up Dave is that creepy dude who always tries to pick people up (literally).

I saw him at ALA last year and AX this year. Both times he kept insisting that we (friend and I) should let him pick us up and ride around on his shoulders. Like with out crotches to the back of his head/thighs by his head.

We kept telling him no and he kept insisting we do it. It was fucking skeevy as shit. I don't want a stranger picking me up, if you ask and someone says no, don't keep asking? We eventually walked away since he would stop and went to the con staff desk to let them know about him. They said they'd received complaints about him already.

Homestuck is a shitty webcomic and it has a lot of cosplayers because a lot of the characters have outfits that are very simple and easy to cosplay, and since you can buy shirts with the symbols on them, take literally no effort to make.

A web comic that combines a lot of different medias such as flash, gifs, still images, text, and interactive flash games.

It's at the height of it's popularity. Just like the giant crowds of Naruto and Kingdom Hearts in their days. A lot of people think they can get away with putting very little effort into their costumes and still look good. There are a lot of people who have never cosplayed before who flock to it because it looks easy.

That would be me. Were you at the con they were at? Did you feel uncomfortable? I'm sorry if you did, but did a good job at generally keeping to themselves and other Homestucks. It definitely wasn't hard since most Homestuck fans at that particular con kept to one general area and behaved themselves quite well, which I know comes as a shock to many.

Homestuck fans are gonna do completely inane shit at cons, but that's a given. What are you, new? I can't apologize on behalf of this group or anything, but if this shit seriously rustles your jimmies when things like nudestuck are still alive and strong I don't really know what to say to you other than back out of the fandom for a little bit.

>What are you, new?

I've been cosplaying Homestuck for two years, and I've been on cgl since before Yaya had her boob job.

It was uncomfortable for several con goers, not only me. There's a very, very big difference between their cosplay group and nudestuck. You do not see Homestuck cosplayers walking around in the buff at cons. It is on the internet, and you can avoid it.

Nudestuck participants are also 18+ for the most part (not to say that some younger ones haven't slipped through). A few of the people in that cosplay group were quite young.

I don't go to cons to see scantily dressed barely-teens, no matter the fandom. It is no secret that there are some fucking seedy people at cons, and while that group may be doing it to have fun, no one can deny it's going to attract those scummy people.

I'm gonna call some bullshit on you. These cosplayers have the exact same coverage as a Black Rock Shooter cosplayer, or a Yoko cosplayer, or a ton of other cosplayers. But no one says those cosplayers aren't acting like adults.

If they were running around groping people they didn't know, yeah, that would be shitty. But if they did what >>6486648 said which was stick to their friends and homestucks i'm not seeing a problem with them.

And even if there was a problem, it would be on them, not their very common skin amount coverage for an anime con outfits.

That's not something we have control over, though. I wouldn't say I'm defending them, just pointing out that it's not really something you can stop or discourage. If they aren't aware how how people act at conventions, it's really not anyone's business but their own to recognize those risks and act accordingly.

I have no idea how old they are but assumed they were at least 18 since they all definitely look it. If some of them are underage, that pretty much sucks and it's seedy of them to be acting that way, but like that other anon pointed out, this isn't really anything "new" in any convention-related context, least of all Homestuck, and again, it's not something we can scold them over and actually expect to be taken seriously over.

>>6486765
You mentioned you were lenient toward them in the last thread, which generally means somewhat encouraging. While no one can flat out stop them, it also shouldn't be something they're encouraged to do.

Some of them are 18, some of them are not.

Your posts have been nothing but saying how people shouldn't be upset or unsettled by them when they're just having fun. What fucking part of their age aren't you getting? I see you're backpedaling now, but just admit you fucked up.

Whether or not skimpy outs are new or not (and the post you're referring to says nothing of age or if younger folk in revealing outfits is hunky dory) when it comes to underage cosplays that doesn't make it a-okay.

>it's really not anyone's business but their own to recognize those risks and act accordingly.

Because underage people are entirely capable of making the best decisions ever. I'm at a loss for your logic.

Do you even cosplay or take photographs, or do you just dawdle around threads here acting like you know what you're doing?

no it's a regular wig. He came to our room a few times during that con since he's buddies with one of my roomies.

>>6486621
She's cute, but I suspect a self post. I like the volume of wig, but at same time it looks very un-styled. Also the super long shorts under the skirt really bug me. If they were short swimmer shorts or if the skirt was actually longer than them it would probably look better

>>6486684
I really doubt you were at the con. The only one underage is the Jade and she had people with her most of the time. While I do not like what they cosplayed I'm not gonna bitch about them doing it. For the most part all their goodies are covered up. I've seen rave skanks in see-through skirts and candie bikini walking around sac anime during the day when children are around. I've seen 14 year olds trying to be sexy no jutsu girls at those cons as well. Everyone in that group is covered, so shut up over being offended by skin.
>>6486705 are you out policing the 13 year olds who hang out in malls on the weekends? Today's teens are usually skimpily clad sluts. It's sad but true. I believe the Jade was 14? Which is young, but it was her choice to wear it. Get the fuck over yourself and what you think people should wear.

I posted the Fef, and it's not a self-post. She's a Swedish (or Norwegian??) cosplayer. The one who took the photo of the Sollux and Kanaya grocery shopping ages ago.

I'm not hot on the skirt either, but I do actually like shorts (though I know they're not canon and see why people wouldn't like them).

The wig is my favorite part though, and I'm not sure how it seems unstyled? She's a sea-dweller, so I don't think it's unreasonable to have such a beachy/tousled look.

[Rii No.6486800]

>>6486793
I think you're trying to make it look that way. The one underage girl was with a group of friends who are all avid Sac con and Sac Anime con goers and are popular on tumblr for their costumes at it. If her friends did not prepare her for possible con creeps it is their fault for not just saying "hey beware of pervs" I believe she had pepper spray in a bag, and she was with the Dave and John most of the weekend.

>>6486788
>I really doubt you were at the con.

Except that I was? It was practically Brony con. I think that little corner outside the hall that turns into a nonstop rave party is dumb as fuck too.

I even recall how at SacAnime in January, one girl was dancing in the group and someone was grinding on her. Tasteless, right? Well, then the crowd started chanting, "Rape her, rape her, rape her."

SacAnime is such a fucked up con, I swear to god. Then again, it's Sacramento. The sun-dried meth-head of California.

Also holy shit, the Jade being 14.

A 14 year old doing a stripper outfit, that's something to tell people not to condone, clearly.

Sure is tumblr logic here

Yes, I said I was "lenient," which I admit could've been worded better. I don't want to give people the impression that I'm some sort of authority on what is acceptable in Homestuck fandom or cosplay, because I'm not. If by your definition of "lenient" I'm saying that strippertier is totally okay and that I am totally for it, then I think we might have different definitions. To make it clear, since I obviously didn't do that before, I'm largely ambivalent about strippertier cosplay. I don't actively encourage it, nor do I actively criticize it because regardless of what MY particular stance is, it's gonna happen and the last thing to change that is my opinion of it one way or the other. I'd probably venture that your impassioned thoughts on this probably wouldn't make them change their minds about this particular cosplay either.

Underage people aren't the most responsible people out there, but since when is that my fault? Or yours? Or anyone else's but perhaps their own or their parents'? They have access to endless information regarding this kinda stuff, and if they or their guardians choose not to take advantage of that and act according to what they learn, that is on them. Sorry if you disagree with that.

I feel like you've misconstrued my original post and are dogging me for being some sort of rape-enabler (nice jump in logic there). All I can apologize for is not making my stance clearer and for wording it badly.

Knowing the Dave personally, I can say that he would not have let any harm come to their Jade, period.

Regardless, when I realized who their Jade was (knowing her age beforehand), I had to raise my eyebrows. Even if everyone in the group was watching her like a hawk, I'm still a little doubtful of the decision to allow someone underage as part of the group.

[Anonymous No.6486861]

>>6486851
I'm going to say the same except that I found out about the Jade's age at the con. The Dave is one of the best people in the NorCal Homestuck community, but the Jade was just a bad decision.

I'm a California Homestuck and the best way to find your fellow 20+ Homestuck fans is to look for the ones organizing groups, or the ones running around the shoots and hallways calming the loud underage kids and fixing everybody's wigs and makeup.

Fast forward to SacSummer, I'm hanging out with some friends in the courtyard, along with Alex/Princebeefdirky. Now in person he's a pretty cool guy to hang out with, but Brett calls him over and starts bitching at him over something. Once she leaves we go up and ask what happened. He says something I can't remember but then points to me "And she also yelled at me not to hang out with you."
Now a little background info, this is still when her and Gabbi/Ferocity are still friends, and Gabbi has a little crush on this guy who has a crush on me. A guy who lives in Canada. Fucking Canada.
I ask Alex if it's about ferocity's crush and he said it was. So during the con they not only told him, but other people(which was later learned) not to hang out with me. Because Gabbi's jealous.

Now in the time since she's sent me messages claiming she "doesn't have any beef" with me yet she has me blocked, which I find very amusing. There may be things I'm forgetting, but that's about it.

I honestly cannot remember exactly what I said, since it was a long time ago, and the message had so little an impact in my memory, but knowing myself and how I type on tumblr I probably put some sarcastic emote or some dumb reaction image that indicated a joking tone. I may or may not have said an actual thanks in the tags, but like I said, I don't remember.
Honestly though, for that I wouldn't blame her for bitching, whether I made my joking tone obvious online or not. All I know is that's apparently her reason to start hating me.

If you're looking for norcal peeps I don't know as many, but there's a bunch of cool 20+ folk I can think of in the SoCal realm.

Starting off with scuttlecat, lesser-known in a way but with two cosplays that spread like wildfire: Troll Hussie at AX 2011 and ALA 2012, and Caliborn at AX 2012. Drama-free, kind of shy, but also on a spree with drawing fantrolls.

April and Sam technically don't qualify I think?, but have enough presence and maturity to do so. Excluding the shit that went down with the AX 2012 gathering, fairly clean drama records for both.

Chazostatue/Nicholas (Jack Noir at Fanime 2011 and Summoner at AX 2011) might also be under 20, I'm not sure again. Not much of a partier either, but he's really mature and an absolute sweetheart.

Problem is that'll depend vastly on who you are, who you interact with, and what you do.

Even some of the people who get brought up as assholes or dramaqueens or whatnot have friends who they are quite nice people towards. And I wouldn't take 4chan's word for who's nice or not, because plenty of people I've met who 4chan says are the nicest ever and they're terrible, and plenty of people who 4chan hates I find to be entirely pleasant, and essentially all interactions are subjective.

Gamzee's a better choice than Damara if you're going to be high or drunk at a con. I've seen the drunkest Gamzees not noticed by younger fans as being drunk because they're being "in character", and it's hilarious.

Hey /cgl/- do you think that exact color match is more important, or good fabric choice is more important?

Draw meet is usually on Saturday, yes, and I've vaguely heard about the girl running it already planning it.

Glad you're trying to plan around it though, because if it was on the same day there's a higher chance of obnoxious drunks and a rehash of AUSA's draw party which ended up being like 90% drunk people making out.

That being said, Thursday is a good day if you want a smaller barstuck meet (probably advisable and more tangible too.)

At this point, good fabric choice is what will stand out. It's too easy to just find a standard cotton fabric of the perfect shade, since that's the first thing newbies do for a cosplay.

You can make her piercings out of 16-gauge brass wire (can get at Jo-anns or whatever craft store), spirit gum, and spirit gum remover. Use a pair of pliers and wire cutters to cut them to the size you want, and curve them into the right shape. Apply your troll grey and whatever eyebrow color you use, then apply spirit gum to area and wait for it to get a bit sticky, do the same to the ends of the piercings you made. When the gum is sticky enough, apply them to your skin and press them down lightly for a minute or two to stick to the skin.

As far as the bracelets go, I'd suggest going to your local craft store, as they tend to have plain chunky bangles that would be a good base for her bracelets. Cheap accessory stores would probably also have good stuff. It doesn't matter the color, but the size. Painting is easy.

If you can resin-cast gems, it would probably look amazing, if not, large googley-eyes painted with a glossy/shiny paint on it would suffice. Fake gems always work, but the artwork shows the jewels as being more circular and smooth.

The trident can easily be modded from your standard Halloween pitchfork and look fine.

And as for additional accessories, I'd love to see a Meenah with a clamshell purse, as described in one of the flashes.

I was under the impression that the two girls were (close?) friends with everyone involved with the make out parade, but I could be totally wrong. I do remember a friend of mine getting her portfolio and sketch book tripped over; thankfully nothing was irreparably damaged but it was still really inconsiderate.

I believe it makes the con more open, with the possibility for more to take part. It also means younger children are let away to the con, which means they will learn to be socially appropriate for cons earlier as most are older than them.
We have very little problems with weeaboos.

we have that too but everyone still sneaks shit in. I got a joint into the club at the official of-age after party by hiding in my Gamzee wig and even the organizer at the con site had mini bottles of vodka and shit. As far as I know no one got caught. And childish as it is I have to say the whole fuck da police thing made it all even more fun.

When it comes to drinking at cons, it's not like people are getting smashed at 11 am and bothering kids.

They go to their hotel rooms and drink at night, and usually head out to a draw party. Being tipsy or drunk at midnight really isn't some terrible thing, and little kids shouldn't be at a con around that time, Homestuck or not. That's when all the oily raver weirdos comes out.

Yeah! I'm probably just gonna attend one day but it's a nice low key little con. I'm not surprised there's not a big HS presence--the average attendee is a lot older. I like that, though--you meet some interesting people.

I've heard there's gonna a HS panel actually. Not an RP one though, one that discusses it a bit more seriously. AFAIK, the two people I know involved are really intelligent, older fans--I'm curious to see a more grown up fandom event. One of the people is a cosplayer, but I don't know how well known she is in fandom, I don't stop by here much.

If you're drinking at a hotel con, wouldn't it be legal? (Assuming you're the legal drinking age wherever you are.)

Since you can drink at a private property and not have it fall under intoxicated in public.

[Anonymous No.6488325]

One doesn't have a tumblr, but he's a big HS fan and very involved in the comics scene in Boston, I'm excited for his take. The cosplayer is thighhighs, I think. I hung out a little with her last Arisia--she knows a shitton about comics, so I'm really curious to see her talk about HS. I know her whole friend crowd vaguely--they're all HS fans but not all are in the fandom (I think they know each other from school)--they're a really fun bunch of people. I think what passes for a Homestuck crowd at Arisia will be a group of really fun, laid-back older people--hopefully we'll all have a good time!

I like the acrylic globe idea for a head, but I was hoping to use something that wouldn't cost me $100. I'm considering paper mache, but I've got a feeling it would look relatively bad. Any other (hopefully inexpensive) ideas?

>>6488066
For her glasses, make sure you get good sized oval frames. I've seen too many where Jane cosplayers try to use circle or even square, eep! Red or black seem to be popular colors with her, so pick one of those.

If you use an iron-on for her shirt, buy one that is meant for darker clothing. The color will stand out better than if you bought one for a light shirt. Jane's skirt can be interpreted in different ways, which can let you have some choice in color and length. I'd say a skirt that comes to either your knee, or just above it would be a good length. I've seen people make her skirt white, grey, and blue before, so that's really you're choice. Shoes I'd suggest getting some plain white tennis shoes and adding the black stripes onto them if they don't come with it already.

>>6488371
Doing her teeth, you could do two options. One would be taking some tooth black and the two teeth beside your two front teeth, make a small strip near the bottom of them (not too large though, that might look odd) and it will give the appearance of bucked teeth.
You could also go with the option of taking false nails and painting them white (or if they come in white that's handy!) and using white denture cream to apply them. In my opinion, using the false nails for teeth really only work when you shave the nail down to fit your teeth. Otherwise, you'll look like you have rabbit teeth and not in the good way.

For her hair, I'd say either go with this wig
http://www.animestuffstore.com/wig-11-short-straight-layered-black-c-5542-p-1-pr-21957.html
or this one http://www.animestuffstore.com/wig-11-messy-short-cut-black-c-5542-p-1-pr-21981.html
First link being if you want her hair to be more neat and orderly, second if you want it to be shorter and floofy at the top (which i've seen some people do).
Image is a neat reference someone drew to help with wig styling/drawing, but obviously using it for styling now.

Depends on the con, I believe. In most scenarios, from what I've gathered, people who are seen outside bars or their hotel rooms with alcoholic beverages are sent back to their hotels, due to the fact that most conventions aren't entirely a 21+ environment.
