I saw a furry whose head was wrapped in duct tape once. It'd be funny if it was the same dude.

>>8710724
I feel bad the dude's costume broke.

BUT

>ran
>jumped down a small flight of stairs

Don't do this shit at cons people. It's immature, obnoxious, and even if you don't mind busting your own face you're liable to whack someone coming around a corner. This is not a playground.

Bonus points she also did the same with my other friend's armor cosplay

>>8710724
At a masquerade, a girl did a Princess Tutu ballet skit.

Almost as soon as her music started, her shoulder strap broke. She did the whole dance holding it up with one arm while sobbing uncontrollably.

The whole auditorium was dead silent.

She got a judge's award at least...

Maybe not exactly what this thread is about but FUCK, my costume attacked me. Just a half-inch over and I would've gotten stabbed right in the gumdrop. Horrifying.

Thread worth it just for the gumdrop reference, although OW.

he got the armor back eventually but there's no way you can hit someone that hard and not feel it, so I guess she was scared he was going to do something?

>>8710799
I did this at a small park area near a fountain. I wanted to see if I could make a 4 foot jump in flip flops. I cut my toe and had a limp for most of the con.

I regret it.

if she was a real dancer she would've kept chugging along with a big smile like nothing happened, ignored the strap completely, and saved her tears for when she got backstage

I thought the story implied she would have flashed the audience should she have ignored the strap. She seemed to recognized the concept of
>the show must go on
But if she did show skin, I'd be crying too.
Imagine working out a whole routine and then it blows up from the start.

I'm assuming she's referring to her clitoris, as in, she came this close to having a needle pierce it.

Glompy kids are the worst.

A skit I saw recently had all kinds of wardrobe malfunctions going on.
>rough fight scene between to characters
>one falls to the ground, her wig almost slips off but she manages to hold onto it
>her shoe sole comes off
>breaks the other girl's costume grabbing her too hard

On one hand I felt bad for all their shit breaking like that, but on one hand it was pretty hilarious. They kept the skit going like troopers despite everything though, only running to pick up the shoe sole once they were done etc.

>>8713137
that's why I always wear a (second) pair of panties over my tights
I know it sounds fucking retarded but damn it does a good job at keeping tights from sliding down, which is something that really bothers me, the discomfort that comes from that alone is hell to me.
If you don't mind that people will probably think you're a weirdo if you flash your panties accidentally and it's visible that you're wearing panties over your tights.

>>8714319
I've done that but I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me then.. I think I was worried it would bunch up and feel like a diaper??

>>8714319
I guess this is an embarrassing story-
>I did what you described, panties over tights.
>Have a photoshoot, photographer's assistant is her normalfag husband.
>She directs me to sit down in front of them on some steps and use one of my legs to block an upskirt shoot from the side.
>Husband is right in front, I know he didn't see my actual panties/undercarriage, but he didn't know that.
>He turns bright red and doesn't make eye contact with me for the rest of the shoot.
>I wanted to tell him it was fine because he seemed so embarrassed but I didn't want to insinuate that he'd been looking up my skirt.

Oh my god, fuck everything about this.

Was at LFCC a year or two ago, watching the cosplay contest. This guy in huge armour is doing some super serious routine swinging around this giant ass hammer, pretty impressive cos it looks heavy and he's really throwing it around. Starts spinning around in circles.... And spins himself right off the freaking stage. Everyone gasps, people run to get him, but he looked so humiliated. The whole contest was so awkward but that really polished it off

>>8713999

>glomp circle

What the hell is a glomp circle?? I know of lone glompers, but what, do they all glomp each other like a mosh pit? Or are they just a pack of wild beasts that prey on good cosplayers? It sounds horrifying

Why is this even a thing? If it was only at one convention I would care, but it seems like a behavior that transcends state borders, or even national borders. Giving hugs seems like a really arbitrary thing to latch onto.

>>8714319
grab some small spandex shorts! they work just as well, if not better since they have more coverage and they just look like shorts instead of panties :)

>>8715984

>>8716072
Can only speak for "Japantag", Ger, where I saw them last (didn't go to anything japan related last 3 years for reasons) and there are a shitton of people, who do use this kind of....offer. But the majority are of the same kind as those who are running around with their piece of cardboard.

It seems like something that should've died out when yaoi paddles and mentions of "the game" did.
Sometimes when I go to cons while wearing Lolita, groups of around 5 freehuggers ask me for some. I always say no, and thankfully they've listened, but I fear the day they they won't.

>>8715984

The ball pit thing was a tiny inflatable pool that said "in memory of dashcon" on it with balls that look like they were stolen from a kids party store. Not like that

so yeah first of all that she let someone just grab my purse without telling anyone for 20 minutes or so, and secondly she's apparently quite racist and terrified of dark skinned men.

It was actually pretty funny by the time con was over, especially since most of these guys were literally standing with their arms perma extended in a "hug me" position while desperate attendees plastered themselves against the opposite wall as they walked by.

Pretty sure this was at Abunai!, right? If it was, you really did a great job and I'm so sorry about what that gopher did. Your costume was beautiful and I really liked that you used tableweights to balance out the skirt, it's a really clever idea and it earned you some extra points.

>>8722886

Yeah I'm the Godoka from Abunai. I felt really bad about what happened but people kept saying they loved my costume even after what happend which made me feel a lot better. I'm really glad people liked it so much after all the work I've put into it. I was quite sad that I couldn't wear it with the wings anymore on saturday.
And fun to know that the tableweights got me some extra points. They were really neccesiary, with all the lights and batteries in the skirt I would have flashed the entire con without them.

>>8726135

>>Ex gf is already giving me the cold shoulder had been setting myself up for break up after event already anyway.

What the fuck? You planned the breakup? That's disgusting.

>>8713425
Oh my, this reminds me on the finals of the german cosplay championship. In a skit a Godoka was supposed to walk thourgh a pair of curtains that hung on clothing rags. As she walked through one the rags fall, broke her wing and got caught on the dress, but she went on with her skit. I remember the big gasp that went through the audience, it was heartbreaking.

>>8729523
Don't be so naive, anonymous. A lot of break ups are a long time coming, and it's more responsible to wait until after the con so that you don't ruin it for them.

>>8730065

Jesus Christ, how fucked up in your head do you have to be to approve or even accept of that kind of behavior. It's despicable.

>>8730070
yeah, impulsive break ups when you haven't really thought out the consequences or the immediate effects are soooo much better....

Never was a big party princess fan but damn they get my respect just for living possible costume horror stories every day with grubby little hands coming near their $100+ dresses.

>>8729523
Hate to tell you but the majority of relationships breakups are planned. It's either that or you just wake up one morning with a "Breakfast was good, let's split up."

Given that my last relationship my partner would say "I want to break up" impulsively whenever she was upset with me or I wasn't available the second she wanted me, it definitely sucks a lot more if someone does that.. especially if a day to a week later she's changed her mind and wants to get together again. When we split up for good, I was the one who did it and I planned it out for a good week ahead of time trying to think of the least hurtful way to do it and changing passwords on social media because she knew everything and was bitter enough to use it against me if I hadn't.

So yeah, tl;dr, planning a break-up is better than impulsively breaking up.

>>8730070
I think you're looking at it as if he wanted to hurt her. Since people might be sick in the head and want to do so, I guess, but a lot of the time, it isn't a sudden fight that ends a relationship, it's a slow death where one or both people slowly realize that they aren't compatible anymore, they just don't have feelings for them anymore. It's responsible to let them go so you both can find somebody who you can each actually connect with. Planning for the break up is also responsible, you try to find a way and a time to break the news to try and hurt them as little as possible.

Part of growing up is finding out the world isn't always pretty. Part of growing up is finding out that sometimes you have to do ugly things to make the future pretty.

Everybody loves smelling the flowers, but some days it's your turn to put down the manure, y'know.

If you still think it's horrible even after that, than all I can say is that I hope that what I'm saying always sounds like a lie to you. May we all lead such blessed lives.

>So yeah, tl;dr, planning a break-up is better than impulsively breaking up.

Fuck no it's not. "Planning" a breakup is deliberately lying to your partner, it's faking a relationship and affection that isn't there anymore and that's just all kinds of fucked up.
>"I love you"
>Oh gee, what do I say, I still haven't planned my exit for when I break up uhm oh boy oh boy
>-"Lovutoo lol :)"

Jesus Christ you people are the worst.
When you realize that the relationship doesn't work out anymore, you break up. You don't plan shit, you don't keep your partner in a dead relationship until you've found the perfect breakup plan. You break up and that's it.

>>8732783
>when you realize a relationship won't work anymore
That's the "planning" phase.

>>8732785

No, that's the phase where you speak with your partner about the relationship to see if things can change.
And if you don't want to do this and put energy and effort into your relationship, then break up.
There is NO planning anywhere, at least for decent people.

>>8732789
Why talk about if you already realized it won't work?
Plus you'd have to plan a good time to bring up the talk. Impulsively on the spot may not be good.

Also in your previous post, usually once someone realizes it won't work, they stop being all sugary lovey fake. That's also an indicator to the other person that things are about to change.

I think you're thinking planning = hate, and it makes it look like you're saying impulsive is best, when neither situation is true.

>>8732783
Considering that even after I planned the most gentle way to let my partner know I thought we weren't working out because of X reasons but I still cared for her and knew this would be the best for us because of co-dependency issues, she still flipped her shit and threatened to kill herself if I wouldn't stay with her.

If I had just impulsively told her "I don't love you anymore, let's break up" and then never spoken to her again like you seem to think I should have done, I have no doubt it would have been worse than that and she probably would have either killed herself or killed me.

So yeah, don't talk shit about "You don't pretend to still love someone until you've found the perfect breakup plan!!!" unless you've been there.

Hi OP here. Apparently you can't read? I even confronted her saturday because of how poor she was treating me. She denied anything, And before you get your panties any tighter in a twist.
It was a long time in coming. And even after we broke things off she sent her bratty sister to harass me to the point I had to threaten legal action.
And since you want to play holier than thou. I'll let you know that she told me "I never loved you I just thought I needed too. But never could tell you. I'm Aromantic so that's that."
But sure Think i'm the disgusting one. No skin off my back.

>>8738224
Not masq specific, but as a long time staffer for a huge con I can confirm that a lot of gophers/volunteers can be trusted about as far as you can throw them. Some volunteers make a career out of the position and come back year after year, but half the time you're dealing with a weeb who has no idea what they're doing and are just trying to coast through the day for some crash space. Volunteers also have VERY little accountability too.

>>8738312
I'm so sorry that happened to you anon. My first con experience in a weeby seifuku involved only one person asking me for a photo and it was some heavily overweight man at least 40 years old who saw me walking by myself down the near empty hall and beckoned me over to his chair without saying a word and then pulled his 5lb VHS early 90s era video camera out and filmed me while I awkwardly stood there for about 30 seconds before he put it back down and then went back to ignoring me without a word.

I was more baffled than skeeved out at the time because back then I had no idea what was not normal at conventions.

Yeah, it really pumped my nads. I've found a much better group of cosplayers to be with since then, though, so it's all right now.

Not really costume related but it was in preparation for a convention.

>>8757752
If you made your own homemade deodorant and then scented it after popular anime characters and decorated it well I think it would sell because weebs want to smell like their obsessions. The only problem is that it might be expensive to make and homemade deodorants usually are liquid at room temperature unless you make it out of beeswax (which is a pretty $$$ ingredient if you're already taking a gamble on whether or not you can sell them).

>>8758310
you can make liquid deodorants too you know.

>>8758325
What recipe woud you use? All the liquid deodorants I'm seeing online are just fragrance added to water and aren't anything that would prevent BO.

The awkward thing is that I knew my period was going to start that day and I was wearing a pad, and yet the blood still managed to spill everywhere. I was lucky and managed to get it all off and now the petticoat is 100% reusable again. Thank goodness no blood got on my actual costume.

For your sake I hope this is another guy making a EW MUH GROSS PERIOD post.

>>8759166
They didn't say anything about rolling down the thigh but you'd be able to feel it at the very top at least. Do most girls have light periods? This seems like it could easily happen to me.

>>8759166
>>8759183
Not the anon you are answering to but I personally get a really violent stream right on the first day and many times has it happened to soak through both my pad and underwear before I even realize it.. so it seems quite plausible to me for that to have happened to the op.

You sure can read threads, can't ya?

>>8759335
It was definitely awkward for the rest of the time we were there but since we were all paying customers and the fursuiter had left, we didn't get in any trouble. I later got an apology from the fursuiter online but it was more of a "I'm sorry I got upset and had you put on the spot with the facility manager but not sorry that I showed up in my fursuit" sort of thing from what I can remember. It wasn't long after that I stopped going to those meets all together so I don't know if he's still around or not. I tend to avoid fursuiters now.

>>8759355
I fucking hate furries.

>>8759355
Moral of the story:
Never, under any circumstance, ever interact with a furry.

>>8759366

>>8758627
It's so easy to spot the guys

>>8759366
>>8759371
He really did take it personally that the facility manager supposedly thought he was a pedo using his suit to lure children in when in reality the facility manager had an issue with the suit because small children actually were coming over to the fursuiter because "Oh look mommy! There's a big cartoon animal!" and the facility manager didn't want anyone thinking the fursuiter worked for them, like a mascot at Chuck E Cheese or something.
I mean I had made it super clear from the beginning that masks weren't allowed so I don't know why he thought "Well clearly my giant foam head isn't a mask!" and went anyway.

>>8759377
Dont you know furries are special? Its a lift style, after all.

>>8759377
Disgusting perverse scum of the earth

>>8759376

Eh, I really am a girl. I lifted the skirt while in a bathroom, and the first day of my period always means the biggest amount of blood. So yeah, it actually happened, even though I can't make you believe me.

>>8759930
My faith is restored. I know some lolita group had that happen. A furry joined their comm and wanted to show up in their fursuit head with nothing lolita related except a bow on their head because they didn't own anything else and got super upset when people in the comm told them no.

>>8759183
I kind of assumed the rolling part because to down to your thigh it would have to roll down an inch or more /after/ soaking through, which from my experience at least is really weird. Not sure how else blood could possibly get that far down your leg.

>>8732783
Jesus fucking christ how whiny can you get.

Deciding when is and isn't a good time to call it quits with someone doesn't make you a serial killer or anything. Cons can be stressful enough without friends or your partner dumping you in the middle of the weekend. You can still be considerate of someone even if you don't love them. You sound like a tumblrina with no relationship experience trying to be preachy.

> We pull aside ex friend about this.
> "Oh we didn't neuter our cats, we thought it was cruel to them so he must have marked your stuff." completely nonchalant with no apology offered.

Thank God we were able to wash it out and sterilize things at least. I'm not normally controlling of my husband's social life, but I said we weren't talking to that fucking guy again.

>>8764778
I guess most people would feel sorry for someone who gets their items damaged but you can't expect people to apologise for their cats. It's natural behaviour. I understand the being annoyed part but you cut off a relationship because a cat was being a cat. The fact you're getting so aggressive is funny but sad at the same time.

>>8764877
That's a pretty gross thing to happen anon, especially when cat pee is known for being really smelly. The party hosts should have kept everyone's coats in a closed room or kept the cats in a seperated part of the house from the guests.

>>8764877
Yes you can, it's natural to apologise when your cat has done wrong, if my cat threw up on someone yeah it's natural I would apologise, shitting on something is different it shows the cat hasn't been properly trained and is very territorial.
And by the sounds of it the friendship wasn't cut off from the shit but the attitude of the friend after

>>8764879
I know it's a bad thing but they're saying they broke off a relationship because they didn't say sorry for their cat or because their cat did it in the first place. Anon saw the cat around the jacket so they could have asked to keep them separate. They had been around cats but their ex friends probably didn't know that so they can't predict their cats would spray. The whole situation seems silly.

>>8764877
>>8764879
>>8764882
>>8764883
Not neutering your pet is a bad idea in the first place though. It's not cruelty to do it, it's common sense. If he gets outside and breeds it means a litter of homeless hungry kittens so not neutering can actually be worse. Besides if you make that decision you gotta take some responsibility for your pets behavior.

>>8757792
When I was in beauty school we had this one girl who somehow repeatedly got weebs/nerds who wanted ridiculous things, despite her knowing absolutely nothing about them. One guy wanted his hair in a pretty basic crew cut, but brought in a picture of Hal Jordan. Another wanted to have "spiky red anime hair" (again girl doesn't know anime, from her description I'm thinking it was a picture of Reno). This kid wanted it wash and wear, didn't want to flat iron or style it, and was naturally black haired with a jewfro.

>>8771178
ooooh my god, i used to bring in my own horribly drawn anime pictures to my hairdresser why did you have to remind me

>>8764877
If your cat pees on someone's stuff, it's your fault, because you could have trained the cat not to do that, and either way, since the cat can't apologize, you should.

>>8771149

Well, ya gotta learn that somehow. Some people just need to learn the hard way.

>>8764877
Having grown up on a farm/rescue and having over 50 cats through the course of my life, I have never had any of them pee on another person's belongings. We did have one cat who was known for peeing on things (beds and clothes notably) out of revenge for being scolded, but since the solution is as easy as "don't let the bitchy pee cat in that room" it wasn't an issue.

> you can't expect people to apologise for their cats
If someone's toddler came over to your house and broke all your dishes, and then the parents simply went "Well he's just playing", you would get pissed, yes? Because they should know their kid likes to break shit, and should ensure he doesn't go near your stuff. Likewise, if someone knows their cat likes to piss on stuff and they have a room full of other people's belongings, they shouldnt' let their cat in that room.

>>8730120
I remember reading some stuff about that. Depending on whether you work alone, in a small association, or in any structure that has ties to Disney, it might not be a problem.
Since disney is so anal about their IP protection, they sometimes get people who plan events like that under contract and send them costume, just to make sure they use official Disney merch.
That means they don't always look that good since they are often factory made and not very precise when it comes to sizing, but at least you don't need to worry about the money.

>>8732789
Yes, because when you sometimes live with someone, has been doing so for a while and for some reason both can't take it anymore, you can just leave one day. It's gonna be easy.
Have you ever been in any relation ship that wasn't simple "let's meet up this weekend!" dating?

>>8772674
I don't know where you heard that but Disney definitely does NOT ever lend out costumes. They only have employees ("cast members") that have gone through training allowed to be official character actors. The only time you will see an official Disney costume is at the parks or at a specific Disney event.

>>8771425

Jesus Christ, dude. I'm glad you survived.

>>8729523
You must be a relationship virgin. A lot of break ups are premeditated and waiting for a right time to occur.

It'd ruin my whole fucking con if someone broke up with me then and there, I'd much rather prefer after the con to get broken up with.

Break ups require a lot of thought as well. I'm a fucked up person who's thought about impulsively cutting people out of my life for no reason although it's more of an intrusive thought than an action I've gone through with.
