I'm thinking because A) it's a children's show, so you're going to get literal children wanting to dress up as the characters and B) it's more readily accessible; you don't have to spend ten thousand episodes catching up to understand and enjoy the fandom, so it's easier for people to flock to.

Was actually there for that gathering.

When lapis got called up she didn't go at first. She was there with I think her mom and you could tell she was nervous about knowing she didn't have the wig or body paint. Her mom told her to go up There. Still didn't want to go. Then a bunch of people in the crowd told her to join too. She did and After time was up you could see it made her day to be up there.

Everyone was there to have a good time. Even the uncle grandpas that showed up, even though it was kind of weird

yeah an airbrush costs much - especially the compressor and paint but it pays off for sure. I started with bodypaint from "Grimas" first too. Not too expensive and nicely to apply with a sponge.
depending on which character you want to cosplay you can get armsocks and stuff anyways and just have to paint your face/neck/cleavage.
I just recommend to practice it first. Especially contouring and that shit.

Gems are not Female. Gems are not Genderfluid. Gems are Gems.
The only exception is Steven, who is Male.

As far as changing what they look like, there are two points to which a gem changes.

When they shape-shift changing physically for a short period of time. Amethyst turning into a masculine form is nothing more than changing shape to serve a goal and doesn't really make her "genderfluid", just like her turning into a baseball bat does not make her into a some kind of club-based otherkin. Changes can be rather dramatic, but are temporary and naturally revert back quickly enough.

And when they are mortally wounded and regenerate, they change their form on a more permanent level. However every time they reform into a shape that generally is very similar to the one they had before. In reformed Amethyst was defeated over and over and hastily regenerated new forms, each of them were basically her normal self with defects, when she wanted to look like pearl, she still looked very much like herself. When she wanted to come back stronger, she still looked very much like a lopsided muscular form of how she looked before. Even these "Permanent" adjustments only allow a small level of deviation from the original base that they lean towards. We're not going to have any dramatic shifts like Pearl return in a male body and demand that everyone use "He/His" pronouns.

Gems are Gems, but I guess people can interpret how ever they want if it makes them happy.

Probably her first time having enough confidence to go and dress up as a character she felt she could relate to. A lot of the chubbier girls in >>8398906 could do with shapewear to sort of squish their body into a more smooth roundness and get rid of weird bulges.

I think the girl on the far right in the back row has potential, though, if she were to use paint, get a bigger/fluffier wig to balance her shape, and get a thicker-strapped tank top. The kneeling girl in front of her is aite, but needs to fluff up and style her wig.

If you have to be barefoot as part of the character, walk around in sandals or flats anyway. If you want to take them off for a picture, do so just long enough for the picture and put them back on.

i legit bought a wig off some girl on tumblr that was made from 2 (or 3?) ebay wigs that where really well washed/treated and curled. i got it for like 55 dollars including shipping.

Spoilers but
I don't know how familiar you are with the show, but there's a concept called fusion in which two gems fuse to become one, in short. Kind of a huge metaphor for sex. It has to be consensual etc.
The gem in the pic is forced fusion, in which their gems are stuck together without their consent (rape). Adding to this is the fact that they were murdered and /buried/ crystal gems in the war.

>> No.8411839

>>8411813
In the picture it shows four bodies trying to escape the core, but can't because the gem fragments(they were dead) were melded together. They were the main characters comrades in the war, the "Homeworld" which is the series antagonist did this as punishment.

The gauntlet woman is the physically and mentally strongest of the group so her breaking down added to the effect

The Gems once had created an army of these drones, but found their obedience waned as the shards over developed inside their uniforms, and turned on their commanders.

The only reason the ears are showing is because hiding them with the wig and visor gave me a headache. This was taken near the end of the day on Sunday.

Cosplay fixes for the future: We're completely remaking the arms and legs from scratch and adding a pivot point in the toes to make it easier to walk around in, along with some padding on the bottom to make them longer. I'm also going to re-dye a new pair of leggings to better match the bodypaint. It's not going to see any action for a couple of months. The fingers are changing for next time too, there's not going to be wires. The gauntlets are going to be held on by magnets and I'm going to have actual hand/finger accessibility.

I'm planning on cosplaying Rose but at this point I'm pretty sure the perfect Rose wig will never exist. I've seen a lot of what not to do but would you guys mind posting some of your favorites that only have maybe one or two things off?

Okay so imo if you want to have a good looking rose wig you should add foam into it and have the wefts wrapping over that. Especially try to get the top and sides to look pretty big (but still make it look good with your proportions). For the back an idea I had is to actually make a separate piece for the lower part and attach it to a harness. Basically if you want to go all the way with this, try to not think of it like a regular wig too much.

Has anyone done any photoshoots that aren't just meetups at conventions or hall shots?

I want to see some pretty pictures.

The extra emphasis on the fusion is the fact that the original parts don't exist anymore.

Garnet is a Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire, when they lose harmony they do split into the two, but while Garnet is formed, Ruby and Sapphire don't exist. Garnet is a whole new person, she is a reflection of the relationship of her parts, but while she is stable there is no part of her that is Ruby, and there is no part of her that is Sapphire, just Garnet. Likewise, when they are split apart, Garnet is gone, she does not exist, she has no consciousness and is merely a metaphor for the love that Ruby and Sapphire share. Split apart that love does still exist, the gem known as Garnet does not.

The Gem-shards of her deceased comrades being physically melded together and forced into a glitchy, painful Frankenstein fusion against their will is generally horrible enough, but has added effect when those involved have formed a new being, whoever they were before is gone forever in the most distressing way.

This is the kind of flak that Steven Universe can drum up, there is no pleasing everyone because everyone has different methods of reading things and different opinions on how things are represented.

A big offender is the scene where Jasper convinces, although with some malice, Lapis Lazuli to fuse with her. Lapis doesn't want to, but Jasper is physically and mentally overbearing and Lapis consents to it.
Many draw abuse and rape parallels to this, not an entirely physically forced encounter, but one of more verbal domination. Jasper abusing Lapis. "C'mon, just say Yes."

Of course, immediately after fusing, Lapis turns on Jasper and uses her powers to trap herself and Jasper while actively forcing Jasper to maintain fusion and preventing her from escaping, taking them both underwater to be sealed away.
Many draw abuse and rape parallels to THIS, once again, while Jasper is the more dominant figure here who initiated the encounter but Lapis still manipulated her and forced her against her will to remain in participation of the fusion. "Stop, What are you doing?!"

Two different ways of looking at it, one where Lapis is the victim, and another where Jasper is the victim.

Who is right? Everyone? No one? There are people who relate to these encounters, there are people who disagree with the notion of these parallels, some people who take great offense at these things and of course there are some who say "Fusion is not a sex metaphor, stop projecting on a kids show".

I think its upsetting because that's actually where the eyes would be irl. One of the design factors I dislike about rainbow quartz, it just looks odd.

See, the problem I have that SU cosplayers have are the fusions.

I get there is obviously the desire to get costumes spot on, but really I think there is a point where perfect just hurts the costume, mostly with the extra arms. I've seen fantastic Opal cosplays, but no matter how well it is done, having a set of Mannequin arms glued onto your armpits just looks stupid, same for Sugilite. I know the character has 4 arms, but honestly of the costume is well made and you look perfect, just do two arms. Even Alexandrite will still look great and iconic without six arms.

Same for Peridot fingers, I get that you want to try to feature her floating tech-digits, but honestly most of the time they look like Nerf-darts suspended on toothpicks. The best solution I've seen was just wearing black gloves with the fingers in the neon green cylinders.

There are some pretty difficult to emulate designs in SU, and some times they just don't translate into real life costume.
