So WonderCon is this weekend. Anyone going? What are you wearing? Is there going to be a meet up?

[Anonymous No.7495828]

I'm going! I'm cosplaying Emma Frost from Astonishing X-men. Last year was my first year going and I had a great time. I'm excited to be going back.

Wearing Mikasa on Friday, Nonon on Saturday, and possibly lolita on Sunday. Wish I had something more comic oriented, though.

I'm so excited for this con. I had an amazing time last year! It's like a mini, non-stressful SDCC.

I'll be in Lady Amalthea on Saturday, and civvies the rest of the time.

Anon, have you been to SDCC? I'm sure its awesome, but it seems like the crowds would prevent me from going to the panels I want/meeting the people I want to.

Is it worth fighting the crowds over?

Going to Anime Conji instead, yay?

[Anonymous No.7496187]

I'll be wearing Tsukihiko from Kagerou Project on Day 1, and Yasu from Umineko on Day 2. Obscure cosplays go!

>>7496059
Different anon, sdcc is jam packed so if you want to go to one of the bigger panels you'll have to line up 5 hours early. Biggest panels, the night before. Smaller panels, an hour or two early. That said, there's a million other things to do there.

I had a blast. I was Atom Eve on Friday and Valkyrie on Saturday. Got to see a whole bunch of friends I don't get to see very often and spent my birthday evening drunk as a skunk in the Hilton bar. Sadly I had to leave early on Sunday so I only went for Friday and Saturday, but this was one of the chillest and most fun cons I've been to in a while.

I'm very skeptical of these "wolf" claims.
Who was the guy? Was he a professional handler or something? Why was he there? Just why in general, who brings a wolf to a convention?
And lastly,
Are you all sure what you saw wasn't a Tamaskan? Pic related. They're the closest dog breed to looking like actual wolves.

[Anonymous No.7515430]

Didn't mean to get off topic, I'm just really skeptical of this; especially in a convention setting.

That's a dog, probably a Tamaskan like I mentioned. Moreover, its body language suggests it's scared and it looks like it has a chokechain/prong collar on.
I'm disappointed anyone thought this was cool, that dog clearly doesn't want to be there.
Why would you even bring it to a convention to begin with? Do you really need a living prop for your costume?
>inb4 it could be a service dog
That breed is incredibly rare to begin with, let alone in service work. There's no proper harness on it. Service dogs don't use metal chains around their necks.

the only other animal that could be is a coyote because of its size, but id guess its a dog. the guy sounds like he was either lied to about it's species or he's just stupid and using it for attention.

Huh, there it is. I'm baffled by how they got it through the door? Service dogs usually have vests or other tags that identify them as working, and you have to have the paperwork with you at all times.

I'm really pissed off by this photo myself. That dog's body language does suggest it is clearly uncomfortable. I wish someone would of reported this for abuse.

This whole situation makes me angry also because people were dumb enough to actually think it was a wolf. Like jesus y'all dumb as shit.

[Anonymous No.7516006]

>>7516002
The worst thing is that even if it was reported, con staff would probably do nothing about it because they wouldn't view it as abuse.
People who don't know much about animal abuse assume it's strictly hitting/neglecting when in reality forcing scared animals into high stress situations can be just as bad.
And people wonder why dogs bite. Smh.
I want more details though; why did he even have the dog with him? As a prop? I can't imagine another reason because it's definitely not a service dog.

There was a story recently about a Malamute who was shot because some hunter thought it was a wolf. Sage for unrelated but it just goes to show how fucking uneducated people are.

Happened to walk by said animal owner (in some sort of pirate garb?) as he was explaining the dog to a couple of people who seemed concerned. I didn't catch but him saying something along the lines about having to go to events and/or something about making money. The dog did look super uncomfortable in the dealer's hall though. :c

Saarloos wolfhound, Czechoslovakian wolfdog, or a malamute mix or Alaskan husky (which is a sledding dog mix). Not big enough to be a wolf, but likely has a decent amount of wolf blood. Not to mention the face is shaped really wrong, the back is too short and the paws too small for it to be a wolf.

If that asshole thinks it's a full wolf, he was taken for a ride.

See, but the thing is you're still calling it a wolf even if it's supposedly a wolf/malamute mix.
Which I find, in itself, unbelievable. Malamutes and wolves are both large animals, wolves moreso than malamutes.
Both have large heads and bigger bodies than that dog.
Again, he was either lied to about the breed or he's a liar himself.
That thing is a husky/coyote hybrid, tamaskan/coyote hybrid, or tamaskan AT BEST.

"This gal was owned by a woman who loved and took good care of her. Unfortunately, because of several unfortunate life changes, she could no longer care for them.
Being a responsible Wolfdog owner, and loving her, she comes to visit regularly and helps with her care.
She has since become very active in the organization and is helping us grow.
Willow is 2 years old and a High Content Wolfdog."

Notice how there is no clear information whatsoever regarding her breed.
"High content wolfdog" tells me absolutely nothing, and searching the rest of the site gives no more proper information.
They can call her a high content wolfdog all they want, but the fact is that she's a dog. Not a wolf.
She could be a coyote mix, ffs. All the info they have (or, at least, all they present to the public) is that she came from an owner who thought she was a wolfdog, and god knows how many owners actually know what breed their dogs are.

Just checked this out. In the about, it's nearly blank aside from, and I quote, "some film training" and "Obedience school."
Wolves do not fucking go to obedience school. Dogs go to obedience school.

Scrolling through the timeline, there is no decisive evidence that I can see that proves anything other than the fact that she and other "wolves" in the owner's company (which is an exotic animal rental business) are carted around to conventions and events and look stressed out in every single picture.

Also,

The guy's a douchebag for lying to people.

Anyway, we pretty much confirmed the owner was lying and it's not a full wolf. Let's drop it and move on to the rest of the con. I know my friends we're annoyed because some of the industry panels they wanted to go to we're on Friday.

Also I really didn't get many photos. Mostly a rather impromptu AC gathering. Was rather amusing finding out how damn easy the mass produced hidden blades break. At least we got our's free.

AC cosplay more like betas who want to look badass by wearing milanoo costumes and jumping over benches

You're allowed to be skeptical but you're talking like you know for sure what it is or isn't. It is very possible that it is a malamute/wolf but no without testing you don't know for sure. But you also don't know that she isn't.

Did anyone see that girl walking around without a shirt on?

She just had stars on her tits, she also had this massive red hair that was being held up all the time by her and sometimes some dude that was following her around, I have no idea who she was supposed to be.

I didn't, but maybe she was cosplaying Yoko from Gurren Lagan?

She was the Great Fairy from LoZ: Ocarina of Time.

This girl?

Bonus: This is the same girl who supposedly had the $4000 Zelda costume stolen out of her car recently

could be, I think that was the correct hair, but that's a lot more clothes than what she had on, and her nipples just had black stars on them, and I remember her boobs being a lot bigger.

naw the stars were black not yellow

I could see that I guess, but why the stars then? she could have just tapes those little paper water cups to her nipples to give herself those pointy boobs
