ITT: We list the types of cosplayers we see online and at conventions

>The Quick Changre
This person has planned way too many photoshoots and quickly gets tired of dressing up as a character after being in outfit for longer than two hours. Only times you really seem them are in your hotel room, frantically trying to sort out all the wigs and clothes they brought as they rush to meet their next photographer or running to their room to change.

>The Close but No Cigar
Some people sew their outfits while others commission items from ebay or their friends. This person rips open their closet and assembles an outfit using common clothes and household items in a manner that would make MaCgyver shake his head. So what if the characters blue pants are replaced by jeans and their neon spiky hair is poorly replicated with spiky hairgel, they demand to be recognized like any other cosplayer despite not putting in the proper time or money into their clothes.

>The One Pose Pony
These people take the term "signature pose" to a whole new level. Doesn't matter if they're in a photoshoot or hall picture they got one pose in their arsenal and they're gonna milk it for all its worth. If you want something else, just ask for a new pose and you can get a great shot of the cosplayer shrugging their shoulders.

>The Lost Puppy
These cosplayers really don't have anyone to turn to and are generally nice people. Beware, if you are cosplaying from the same series as them or give any sort of positive attention they can latch onto you for the rest of the con

>The Planner
These people are hard to spot as they wear regular clothes but that's all going to change soon as they keep talking about their big plan to make this awesome dream cosplay that will knock your socks off. Then you see them at the next con in the same set of casual clothes. Expect to see a lot of characters posted on their Facebook that they want to do.

Tumblr wouldn't be open to non-circlejerk discussions unless it's specifically against a white CIS male.

>The Late to the Party
The cosplayer who decided what they wanted to cosplay too late to finish and spends half their time at the con making their costume. They finally wear the half finished abomination near the end of the con, causing them to ditch their friends, miss the photoshoot, and skip most of the major events.

> The special snowflake
They didn't make the costume, they didn't style the wig, they didn't bother to put on makeup and they weren't even accurate but you better respect their amazing costume and give them asspats

They're cosplaying something. Is it a Pokemon? A Pony? It's probably something but nothing you'll ever be able to figure out without asking, and even once they've informed you, it's still a stretch.

I'm steam punk 1980's Princess Peach. Can't you tell??

This thread is a thinly veiled elitist circlejerk attempting to categorize and stereotype people who don't meet up to their crushingly high standards. Each "trope" reeks of anecdotal experiences, written by one who lives in a mental ivory tower. But they don't make a THAT GUY thread because they want to appear witty.

In non-stimmed to hell and back terms, this shit is tumblr as fuck

>The Fandom Hopper
A cosplayer who jumps between current popular fandoms and quickly throws together cosplays accordingly. Shitty costume bought from a sweatshop rips? No big deal, they have six others to wear throughout the duration of the con, each for a different popular fandom.

>The Extremist
Goes to great lengths to make their costume flawless, including but not limited to: ignoring friends, missing classes, calling in sick for work, finishing details on the way to the con, or at the con itself because they just have to be FLAWLESS. Often seen cosplaying armored or very intricately designed characters, and pour a good deal of money and time into the hobby. May stop several times during a con to do "touchups".

Except that I can personally name a number of people that fit under these types. It's not really elitist. It's just a list of some common types of people you see out there.

I can make a list of seventeen different types of customers I get at work. But that doesn't mean I'm in some elite circle jerking club in the backroom or some shit.

Also might have been me at some point, since I wasn't doing too well my first semester of college, and some of it had to do with cosplay. I've found a balance since though.

>Dealer Room Fiend
You'll know this person when you room with them. The amount of really pointless stuff they've bought in the dealer room is phenomenal. There's a new bag full of total crap every time you go back to the room.

>Too Cool For Anime School
Usually casual groups of teenage bros. Act put off by all the lame, weird nerds around them. Don't see the irony in the fact that they're also spending their money and their weekend at an anime con.

>The Demented Snowflake
Evil twin of special snowflake. Wearing some sort of vampire/guro/neko costume that's probably an OC. Initiates conversations solely to try to shock people about how they "like blood" or "frighten small children." Is generally creepy and awkward, but not in the way they think they are.

>The Determined Scatterbrain
Plans a cosplay but suddenly switches to another one. Happens several times throughout the year. Large amounts of 'i'll use this later' pile up in their room, and they end up having a couple dozen wigs. Blows money left and right regardless of if they make or buy stuff, but somehow pulls off whatever they actually commit to. Very strange people that often have a confused but respectful fanbase, if any.

>Bad Girls (Or Boys) Club Member
Cosplays are varying quality, but they go to cons to meet people and party. They avoid the fandom and act holier-than-thou about it. The least chill partiers you've ever seen, usually have a /cgl/ complex in addition to being drunk off their face. Tend to be interesting people, and probably have an online clique.

>The Drama Bomb
Somehow gets into drama with people they don't know at cons they've never been to in places they've never heard of. Don't talk to them about the drama in the places they usually haunt. Usually mediocre cosplayers, nothing to look twice at but not bad either. Probably uses drama to stand out, but hey, that's one way to go about it.

>The Hoarder
The determined scatterbrain that never actually finishes anything and just puts together a half-assed cosplay day of con, or wears lolita instead, or pulls on a kigu.

>The Designated Con Attendee
Was convinced by their friends that anime cons were fun. Probably friends with a Bad Girls Or Boys Club member or associate of a Drama Bomb. May wear a wig and an anime related tee shirt, very obvious to spot by how confused they are at everything and being pulled around by someone that looks way more in their element. May actually have fun at the convention, but likely will just take care of friends who have involved themselves in drama or got shitfaced.

>The 1000 dollar cosplay.

This person thinks their outfit is only worth it if it is directly endorsed by the company who made the outfit (like SEGA's Ryu Ga Gotoku) or just so high priced it will take you a month's salary without food or rent to pay for it just so you can flaunt it around and impress the opposite sex, until they realized they are too rich for their blood now and too poor for their attention after the con is over.

>The name dropper

This cosplayer who just has to tell you everything about every compliment they have ever received and usually from lots of "important" people according to their stories.

>The Fame Aggregator

This one only wants to know you if you're already known. If they've never heard of your or you didn't already come into their vision with 3K likes then you aren't worth talking to. They only want people as popular as them.

>The Oversharer

Compliment them on their cosplay and they'll tell you about their medications.

>>The Drama Bomb

I have a friend that's this. She's a nice girl if you're her friend, but hooooly shit otherwise. Her Facebook consists of nothing but her 'calling out her haters,' (which she, surprisingly, does have) and passive aggressive posts. Rooming with her at cons is a nightmare, because there will always be some kind of drama going on in our circle, and even if it doesn't involve her, she'll somehow end up in the centre of it.

>The Underage Drinker
Usually college students, but ages range from 16-20. Spends the majority of the day getting shitfaced, and proceeds to need a babysitter for the rest of the night. Tend to think they're a lot more mature than they are, and better than the other kids their age because they drink. Doesn't realise their friends do not appreciate spending their convention taking care of an adult baby who can't hold their alcohol.

>The Raver
Only goes to the con for the rave on Saturday, and is a normalfag for the rest of the weekend. Tends to get high before/during the rave, and tries to pick up con girls before sobering up and realising they've made a terrible mistake.

A sad end result of bad luck, lazy friends and plans blowing up. What was supposed to happen was that you were to see an amazing group cosplay with everyone filling in a certain character with no doubles but instead you get the only person in the group willing to follow through with work and gets sadder by the minute.

>The Road Blockade
It's go big or go home with this person. Big props, big wings, big pieces of armor. They never fail to garner crowds of equals scale but they forget that many standard convention hallways and doors do not accommodate such grand efforts.

>The Plain Jane and Tom
These cosplayers end up taking the bullet and will go as the more average characters of their series. Even if their outfits are 100% accurate, you can't really tell they're in costume until they stand next to one of the more elaborate looking cast members.

Usually cosplays as some incredibly outdated meme or spends the whole con referencing it, such as blasting Rick Astley.

That parent who heavily insists on coming to the con with their child, is very vocal about how everything weirds them out and often demands free admission. Often is an embarrassed older sibling instead.

>The Panhandler
That asshole at every con - usually a teenager - who hangs outside the dealer room/food court/registration and begs money (or badges) off of people.

>The Filmmaker
This fellow goes about claiming to be working on some sort of "Cosplay Documentary" and often is really just a neckbeard attempting to gawk at girls

See above, but wearing V's mask from the V for Vendetta graphic novel series/film (May insist the mask represents 'Anon' or in extreme cases 'EFG') - They often misquote the film or preach their hatred of Scientology

Comes to the convention without a badge and attempts to partake in as much as they can without paying a dime. Either brags about this or complains about the convention "not having a whole lot going on."

>The Empty Threatener
Something at the convention will go not the way they want, typically inconveniencing them slightly (eg not having a certain game in the game room). They react by bashing the convention all over various social media pages, claiming they will never return to the convention ever again, but then be seen the next year.

Cousin to The Ego Tripper, The Attention Hog finds their home in front of a panel. This person craves the spotlight and wants to outshine the rest of the people giving the panel. They feel the need to add their opinion to EVERYTHING said and will sometimes steal the microphone away from the main presenter so they can recite some stupid internet joke/meme or yell about their hott yaoi ships. Often will completely derail the panel and ruin it for everybody by either making it go overtime without achieving the point, or simply getting so off topic that people give up and leave.

>The "Let's Check Out A Clip!"
Will have a panel about any given subject, but the entire event is nothing but Youtube clips from whatever series they're talking about. Sometimes the panelist will even tell you blow-by-blow what happens in said clips, then will play them for you immediately after. 4 minutes or more (per clip) of scenes from anime that came out more than ten years ago. Most come to the panel to learn something new or insightful and are left with pure disappointment.

>The PowerPoint Prince(ss)
Reads directly from the slides robotically, never adding anything else or speaking from experience unless it's written on the slide.

>The "Aren't You A Little Too Old To Be Cosplaying That?"
When somebody who is way too old tries to pull off a cosplay of a little kid. The worst offenders in my experience have been Vanellope cosplayers. I have yet to see someone over the age of 15 pull her off well.

>The Deadpool
Despite the name, many can fit into this category. If a character is canonically loud/crazy/a jerk, then that means they can be like that in the con, right? They're just acting in character lololol!

I was this once but in an interesting light - saw some people cosplaying a pairing I REALLY like so I asked for a picture. Didn't make any mention of me liking the pairing but they immediately asked me "do you want us to make out?" I was a bit startled and said no thats fine (didn't really feel comfortable with it) but they ended up making out anyways....it was interesting

that happened to me too once.

I just saw a couple people cosplaying from a series I liked and when I asked for a pic they were like "Do you ship us?" and I said well I'm fine with it.
Then they kissed for my pic.

I thought it was funny they brought it up long before I would have thought of it.

>Unlicensed Cosplay Guru
A cosplayer who has spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at materials and methods to use them. Reads and watches tons of tutorials and videos. Praised by non-cosplayer or novice cosplayer friends as the one with a shit ton of experience and knowledge... even though they've only done less than 3 cosplays over several years.

>The Victim
Almost always a girl. Something *always* has to go wrong at the convention. Even the most minor thing will be blown way out or proportion. She'll always make it look like she was the sole victim even if the event affected a lot of people. Victims are also very commonly seen crying online (and only online) about the PTSD they developed from the "sexual harassment" of one drunk guy making one lewd comment once over the entire weekend and will never ever be seen again.

>The Furry Bro
Everyone hates furries because they're self-entitled whiny delusional fucks, right? Well this furry is an absolute fucking bro. Sure, they like to RP animals and have wild online sex with other people roleplaying animals, but they're probably the most laid back people you have ever seen, and their fursuit is far more well made than that bitchy, pretentious FotM cosplayer. Loves parties, loves people, and will make you have a good time.

>The Human Klein Bottle
These people are lodged so far up their own ass they're a scientific anomaly. They may either be the bitchy types no one wants to be around, or they may be nice but have an unfortunately large ego. You can bet they'll be making at least one post a month on your con's forums or FB group talking about their plans or other "look at me!" stuff. The bitchy types tend to throw massive shitfits about things the con is doing that they don't like, but their cries for mutiny are met with cricket chirps or loud boo'ing. The nicer types might constantly step on someone else's toes without realizing it and act like con staff, but end up getting praised by idiots.

This is someone in your convention crew who probably rooms with you a lot. They are not your friend, and you just want them to fuck off, but your other friends keep them around for whatever reason. Maybe they're a huge douchebro who happens to have the money for the hotel room. Maybe they're a massive perv with no boundaries, but they give the girls in your con crew free iPhones and burando. Whatever it is, the only way you'll ever get rid of them is pushing them off a bridge or finding another con crew.

>The Gargantuan Fucking Idiot
This person does everything a hyperactive 14-year-old would do... but they're in their twenties or older so they can legally drink. They're commonly responsible for trashing hotels and breaking elevators. They're banned from more hotels or cons than you can count on one hand. If it's past 5 o' clock and they're not drunk or high off their ass and wandering around the con floor, something is terribly wrong.

>The Token Black Guy
Pretty self explanatory. You have to have this guy at every con you go to for his awesome-itude factor.

>Hotel Juggernaut
Why are all the towels all over the bathroom floor and soaked with fruit punch? Why is there a wig in the mini fridge? Why are the couches and blankets assembled into a fort in the middle of the room? Is that paint or dye all over the tub? Better leave a bottle of Scotch with the tip for room service...

>The Flirtatious Special Snowflake
"Yes I'm a girl! Yes I play video games!" This type craves attention and will make sure that EVERYONE knows that they play video games, especially if it's something like League of Legends. Will sometimes dress provocatively and talk shit with males, acting like one of the guys. May cosplay LoL and other popular game franchise characters at cons, but not necessarily out of love for the character. Will flirt like mad with anybody that glances at them, even though they have no intention of hooking up or leaving the con with a significant other. Thrives on attention, but doesn't care about those giving it to them. "Silly boys! I don't need you! You all only want what you can't have, which is me~!! Hehe! ;)"

>The Kids That Don't Know Kinks
Often found in the vendors room at booths selling anything with chains or leather. These types can't understand why booths are selling heavy leather dog collars and leashes, but "Hey!

Alternatively:

Finds out you're cosplaying a certain character and immediately publicly or secretly changes their plans to match up to your character's biggest pairing. Usually in hopes to get makeout or BFF pics with you, then proceeds to think that carries over into real life.

>The Missing Piece
This cosplayer always ends up choosing characters that no one cosplays yet groups need. Quality is good enough to be invited to other's photoshoots. Actual personality depends on the individual so use discretion if you want to have them be a friend friend or just use them when you see them at cons

>The Photo Hoarder
Always shows up without fail to any cosplay event and carrying a camera that's more expensive than the average norm. You've tried using small talk to get photos but after the next few meet ups you given up on seeing them. Now you just ignore the person as you are somewhat afraid of what those photos will be used for,

>The Status Tagger
In an effort to get more people to comment on their status, this individual will tag each and every person that they see. Doesn't matter if you actually held a conversation with them or they saw you walking in the hallway, you will join the 50+ person status update come the convention's end.

>The Photo Hunter
You don't know how they do it or where they get the time but this individual manages to dig up the most uncommon and unseen photos of you during the con and tags your name. Quality depends on blurry hall shot to really good photos so its a real crapshoot. While you love their diligence and are touched with how they're going out of their way to help, you do wish they would be a bit more selective with their findings.

They may only have a few cosplays and will probably either wear one to a convention twice, or just cycle through whatever few cosplays they have. They could just be working on other cosplays in the meantime, or they are either too lazy or lacking the money to make or buy more cosplays.

I have a friend like this and they're the most annoying thing ever. Sometimes my friends and I will get some really excellent cosplay shots, and then we review them later and there's our friend in the background doing something retarded with this stupid grin plastered on their face. They demand to constantly be the center of attention and it's annoying as hell. Luckily they're almost always within decent cropping distance or else we can photoshop them out, but I really wish they'd simply have the decency to not butt in, if only to save editing time. Normal photobombing is bad enough with them; We don't need it in our cosplay photos too.

Because they're terrible at drawing for the most part. There's only a handful of styles that actually allow for enough variation in the face to get away from tubosameface. Protip: if the characters have hardly noticeable noses or if they are just a line or two, it's most likely a shitty artstyle, at least for facial drawings.

They don't. They draw them as pale. Japanese art since the 80s has been becoming much more diverse as far as hair, eyes, height etc. They're not meant to look "white" how many white people do you see with bright pink hair? They have large eyes, pale and smaller, youthful features to reflect Japan's beauty standards. Having diverse hair and eye colors allows for artists to be lazy and give ever character the same facial features, even darker skinned girls look exactly the same as the other girls beside them. It's also much easier to build a color template for peach tones than darker ones(which end up with comical shading unless you really try)

I really hate when people read so much into anime, it's a lazy prepackaged artform. And why would Japan even care about "race representation" it's not important to their culture, society or sales margin in the slightest.

Wooo h pylori! The guy who discovered it was pretty badass too.

However, I think because awareness increased since then, the incidence of ulcers caused by h. pylori has declined from being 80% of the cause of oesophageal ulcers down to around 40%. They still cause a majority of duodenal ulcers though (60%).

It isn't that much of an absurd notion. There are plenty of girls in the community who cosplay as characters that they claim to identify with when they actually don't. Look at all of the Daenerys cosplayers from GoT; A lot of them haven't read the books and go on to insist that they're so much like Daenerys and that's why they chose her. It's p obvious that a lot of the more homely looking girls choose the misunderstood characters in order to feel like the Elphaba of the pair so that the prettier girl gets flack, even if she's a kind person.

Pretty manipulative tactic.

Or maybe they cosplay the homlier characters because - wait wait hear me out - they're homely themselves?
I think people tend to identify with characters they look like even if the personality isn't 100%. It's why I like girlish blondes and why Bella was such an effective protagonist for the billions of average brown-haired girls reading it. It's why Sailor Jupiter is cosplayed by slightly athletic brown-haired chicks and Mercury gets cosplayed by short haired girls with glasses. I think you're reading way too much into this.

Way to completely miss the point of what was written. Yes, they cosplay the homely characters who are misunderstood because they feel homely and misunderstood. And, just because you haven't been in the midst of such a bitch tactic doesn't mean that it doesn't and has not happened. Elphaba is a character that is described in the book as being not nearly as attractive as the rest of the cast, yet maintains a sort of odd beauty about her. Obviously, some dumpy looking girl is going to read that and fancy herself as such when she's not exotic or a different sort of beauty, but unmotivated and homely looking.

Jupiter has also been cosplayed by brown skinned Asians and Mexicans and I've seen plenty of fat Mercury cosplayers.

It isn't "reading too much into it" if you've been within this community long enough to have known of and befriended these types of people. Just because you never experienced it doesn't make it not real. It's as if you've never heard of people like Usagi Kou.

So, because you choose to make "plenty of" translate to "rampant" and "widespread" in your own mind, I'm wrong? Please check your blood pressure.

She isn't homely, but she's a victim complex character due to her painful "moe" nature. And, I have been amongst people (and a former friend) who have used the character's desu shy wah nature and easily manipulated Bronies in order to exploit situations for their own gain. They played that up and milked it to the very end until they vanished from the circle without a trace and, despite leaving a trail of inconsistencies and evidence of their lies, still have people crying about where they went.

Sorry, but no. It was a really shitty situation to have been a part of and it's even shittier when the people involved are so fixated on a character that you're being told that you "killed Flutter".

Aaaaand this is why I accused you of projecting. Calling others narcissistic, but painting random cosplayers with a wide brush based on one personal anecdote. Calling me defensive, as though I'm the one being attacked by multiple people. Nitpicking over how a word is being used. You're too good, anon.
Alright, I'll stop it and just be straight. The crux of your idea that homely girls cosplay ugly, misunderstood characters to make pretty girls look bad is based on.. a girl you don't like who happens to be dumpy cosplaying one of the most popular and beautiful characters in the series that many fans relate to. And actually acting in character, which appeals to a lot of fans and is probably why people were paying attention to a "fat, dumpy mexican" and not you, who I'm guessing is the "pretty girl" in this scenerio.
In reality, probably what actually happened: you're not as pretty as you think you are, your costume looked like shit, and/or you have the personality of a jealous doorknob. That's why fattershy got more attention then you.
Does that hit home at all?

Projecting would be if I were a fat, homely girl myself and getting angry at others for behavior that I actually exhibit. Yet, by my posts, that isn't the case. Again, you really don't seem like you know what projection means or you were misinformed as to what it means.

Explaining my situation is defensive now? You're the one labeling things as something that they aren't in order to fit whatever personal agenda you have against my posts, dude. I made a post, suggesting something and even another person brought it to light. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, yourself and others (or samefagging, for all that I know. Is pretty likely.) became indignant. If you're not homely or my former friend in question, then there's no need for you to carry on with a tantrum like a child in a supermarket. Instead, you're twisting words and trying to play psychic with a stranger on the internet because it sounds as if what I posted hit home for YOU. Otherwise, why would you be trying this hard to pinpoint me as the bad guy?

The jar is waiting and so is Lifetime. Go calm down. I forgive you.

Lolita version!

> Fandom Lolita
Really loves some fandom and lolita. Tries mixing them. Usually has bottom tier sewing skills so it comes out like a closet cosplay meets closet lolita.

> Ebay/Milanoo Lolita
Found a cheap black x white monstrosity that they over paid for and coorded with cat ears and fishnets. Usually has late 1990's anime maid-lolita as their baseline for what lolita is.

> The Frightened Newbie Lolita
Generally thinks that there is a terrifying creature called the brandwhore out there judging them and goes on the defensive if anyone comments on what they are wearing. Awkwardly doesn't realize people wearing solid/lesser known brand pieces are wearing brand and vents their fears of brandwhores to them.

>The Replica-chan lol-ita
Totally missed that lolita is a fashion. Slides up to cute lolita and demands photos with them because they are twins.

> The AP Clone
Full head-to-toe Angelic Pretty Coord with a colorful wig. Happy to point out that everything they are wearing is AP (but probably has on SS shoes.).

Nowadays I'm more of a Hoarder, since I don't actually enjoy cosplaying but I like to take the excuse to wear something fancier than everyday and go in lolita. Plus I got rid of all my fandom T-shirts because they were obnoxious, so it's either go in lolita or go looking like a total casual.

Impossible to tell which series they're cosplaying as, as there are approximately a million SoL moe anime featuring characters with the hairstyle and colour of the wig they're wearing and these people always buy generic seifuku off the Internet rather than trying to actually match theirs to the one in the series they're cosplaying.

>The ''I didn't know my prop was not allowed''
Will bring a quite realistic gun/sword with her, even though the con rules state that you can only bring realistic props into the photoshoot area. Then whines if said prop is taken away by security, because ''It is just a plastic kiddie toy, waaaa''

Fucking Jamal. Last time I heard from him was a couple years ago, he asked me if I'd make meth for him. Haven't heard from him since.
