Holiday Matsuri

>>8714405

>>Who to avoid at this con, be it photog or congoer? Travis Photography goes every year. Avoid him.

>>8714464
whats wrong with travis? I always thought he was nice.

>>8714520
Yep, I'd definitely avoid Travis.

>>8714520
He groped my ass at a con one year when I first met him and we hugged. Other than that he was nice enough I guess (he apologized when I told him I was not okay with him touching me in that way) but I would still avoid.

First time as well.

Going in with no expectations.

>>8714405
Holiday Matsuri is in my opinion one of the only good cons in Florida. Staff is nice, owner is nice, overall good guests and not the typical "sexy" florida cosplay girls every con hires, a lot of awesome events for cosplay and lolita, and finally, not so much drama because everyone is in holiday spirit. Seriously, if you decide a Florida con, this is the one to go to.

>>8714960
Though I saw they got NoFlutter, Aloutte (Sp?), Indra, and Leaping Lizard again

Should any of them be avoided too?

>>8714464
I heard of him. Also apparently a guy named Sanchez kept popping up when I looked up Holiday Matsuri. Anything on him?

>>8714960
I think the theme is a cute novelty but it is really only good if you go with friends and low expectations.

>>8715219
It's Florida. Low expectations are the norm.

>>8714991
They aren't hired for every Florida con. I've never had a bad experience with them either. Maybe people are just in good spirits at this time of year.

>>8714405
>Who to avoid at this con

Alychu. Always avoid her. You'll know she's coming by the rumbling ground and loud drunken yelling.

>photogs to avoid
michael iacca and travis scotka or wtf ever his last name is. Iacca is a creepy middle aged guy with a gray beard and wears his hair in a top bun. Travis is a gross, autistic looking titan who touches you inappropriately and pretends to be sorry like nigga no, its common sense not to grope someone.
jonathen sanchez is just a shit looking mongrel who was probably an orphan raised by ants in the dumpsters. He literally has no idea what ''no'' means. Tries to act like he's a know it all, but right away he sounds so retarded that you can't help but ask jesus for strength not to beat his ass on the spot. He probably lives with random neckbeards from craigslist and sleeps with a semen drenched body pillow.

The con itself is insanely fun. At least, I had a blast the past 2 years I went. Everyone was so into the holiday spirit that I felt it was easier to make friends. It's a super chill con with good events. I'm not going this year cause I'll be in South Korea.

>>8715848
Yeah I was at a room party with her last year. I was drunk and I shared some booze with her from my cup and then when I was sober I was scared that i got herpes or something from sharing my cup with her.

>>8716564
Doesn't like, her drinking buddy, Milk Drop, hang with her still?

>>8716626
Doubtful, Aly alienates all of her "friends".

>>8716998
You mean like with Shelbie Savage? She has a new Ciel for her show.

>>8717738
Aly wasn't ever in that garbage.

But, Aly and Shelbie were friends until Aly got jealous of Shelbie's popularity and started shit talking her.

>>8717825
I heard about that. Aly was supposed to be Elizabeth and then got the boot. Then Shelbie and her now ex had a fight and now she has a new Ciel.

But I recommend avoiding her too. Avoid anyone associated with Pleasure Pixels too.

>>8717938
You realize it's been the same (heterosexual) Ciel since day one? Shelbie is engaged now to someone who doesn't cosplay or anything.

Any lolitas going to the tea party or know if it will be worth it? I need to decide asap if I want to ask for work off to go. I'll probably be going alone and I live about 3-4hrs away.

>>8717982
It's hosted by Angelic Pretty, so I'm going to assume so. Expect no less than half of the attendance to be your typical Florida ita trash, though.

>>8717989
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I want the goody bags and the chance to win more stuff but idk if it will be a worthwhile social experience. I am a new lolita so I'm not super snobby but I want to avoid the immature circles.
Ugh if I didn't work on weekends it wouldn't be a big deal

>>8718002
If you're still new to lolita, I would advise against entering any sort of coord contest since there will be a few very good and experienced lolitas there.

>>8718005
Oh, are the contests coord based? i didnt realize that. Thats helpful

>>8717938
Tbh I'm going to their show to see if felin's ass is real. They slutted up that pink gown into some lingerie and her ass is everywhere. I'm assuming it's shopped because she's looks skinny but damn.

>>8718010
Most tea parties have a coord contest, or where the hosts will choose the best coords from the audience for a larger prize.

>>8717974
Whaaa? This is the first I have heard of this. Who she engaged ro?

>>8717989
But they got Chokelate going though, would be fun to see her in person and see how much she shoops in comparison? (Note: she doesn't shoop too much)

>>8718014
What's a "felin"?

>>8718230
A cosplayer anon

>>8718230
a feline felon

>>8718866
Yes, but who is she? Is she popular? What is she known for?

Deets man, deets.

>>8719745
She's a cosplayer who is popular, because she performs in a drag show based around Black Butler with Shelbie Savage.

In reality, she's a drama monger who got where she is by talking shit. Her and Shelbie are cancer in the Florida community, as though there wasn't already enough of that.

>>8715848
Aly is a fucking scam artist. She owed me money from a commission and she never sent me the commission and instead of owning up to her mistake and sending my money back, she sent me a sob story about her being broke and then she blocked me.

All she does now is cosplay for money, I can't wait until that shit finally comes crashing down.

>>8720501
Curious if there aren't more deets about this. From the times I've encountered them they seemed pretty nice but just your average weeb

>>8720501
Fucking Christ, the only drama they ever had was with Alychu and her ex who was wasted off their ass. They left them at the con and since then Alychu tried to set other cosplayers against them. Months later Alychu was caught in her bullshit and had to back down. Besides this, the only shit talking they've done is complain about metrocon, but lets face it, Metrocon was a fucking joke.

Seriously though can we go back to relevant shit like what are the events most looked forward too? The con has a lot more to offer than last year.

>>8720677
Deets?

Has anyone stayed at holmats hotel? First year going and wasn't sure if it's worth it

>>8720691
I was there last year man, good place.

>>8720680
You mean about metrocon? They complained about the director apparently saying some things out of line to them, and being harassed at the con. I'm not suprised though, there were plenty of girls that were harassed at the con. They vow that they won't return to metrocon because of the director. And as for Alychu, she did what she's always done, which be an ass to any friend and then cry wolf when they drop her.

>>8720829
Nah I knew about metro I just didnt know the new drama between alychu and other cosplayers.

>>8720873
Apparently one of them left Aly at a con and she didnt have a ride back and bitched. there. end of story.

>>8720829
Which director was it?

>>8720677
You mean like thier 20 different shitty rwby panels they're gonna have?

>>8716562
I've known Michael Iacca for many years and I have no reason to believe he's anything but a good photographer. If being older than most of the attendees and looking a little scruffy makes him "creepy", guess you can call me that, too.

I attended the first two Matsuris, but haven't gone the last two and am looking forward to going this year and doing my first panel at the event on Friday.

>>8718185
According to her Facebook it's her manager at work, which has almost gotten her fired a number of times. From what I gather, she's also a lot older than Shelby and they've only been together for a few months. I'd be surprised if it lasted through the holidays.

Are there any good prizes for the contests at Holmat? New to Florida and was thinking about going and competing possibly.

>>8721225
So Angelica WASN'T her gf? Whaaat?

Yo, anyone know if Rocky Rivera and her tumblr hoard are showing up?

>>8722075
She's straight and has been with her boyfriend longer than they have been doing their show. For you to know her name, how did you not even see that her profile picture is her and her boyfriend?

>>8722106
I have only heard of her in name.only and from what people had said of her through here. I never checked her fb cause I honestly had no reason too. WhenI saw her with Shelbie, I legit thought the rumor was true that they were a couple and had a nasty breakup after Metrocon.

>>8722075
Literally who is Rocky???

>>8714405
ಠ_ಠ Ahh 4chan, once a source for straight talk, now ever the playground of vengence and complete bullshittery. In the spirit of the old days, here's a little honesty for you OP.

! warning honesty ahead ! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
All Florida cons are all fun if you go for the right reason. Holmat has a cool theme, and chances are if you like anime, lolita, and Christmas, you'll enjoy it.
As far as people to avoid, here's my take on it, if I was told to avoid someone, I'd probably make a point to interact with them just because someone told me not to. Visit every booth and talk to anyone you want, that is the whole point of going. We do have our share of flowing salt and weepy queens, but all that nonsense ain't gonna stop me from having a fun weekend at a con. You won't know if you like something until you just go, so just go.

If you're not going to a con because of a cosplayer's drama with another cosplayer, then you should probably quit the con scene alltogether and see a therapist.

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
-Katt

>>8722318
OP's greentext is not about avoiding the con completely, just about avoiding predators/creeps. Maybe you should put a hold on the typing long enough to actually read.

>>8721009
He stalked one of my friends and showed up at her school/workplace with gifts.

For all the photos he takes, none of them really ever appear online.

If you're implying you also do that, anon, OP should probably avoid you too.

>>8722275
Girl/whatever they identify as nowadays who used to post here, then something happened, denies ever posting here and now she's considered an lolcow. I don't know the details but it's probably just typical con dramu.

I personally hope to make it out to the con. I kept forgetting it existed and never went the past few years, and I recently moved out of FL, but I should be back by then visiting family for the holidays and it might be a fun trip

>>8722114
Yeah I heard Shelbie left Felin for Trash Prince at Metro because a few of my friends saw them kissing and cuddling and holding hands and shit at the con and Felin got jealous

This thread majorly derailed. Let's steer it back! What are we most looking forward to at Holmat? What are your Cosplay plans?

>>8722275
Rocky Rivera

Biggest drama starter in Florida. Has a cult under her/he/it's command, claims to be a transgender lesbian, but backhands even the lgbt community to pressure young teens into transgenderimg and other sordid activities.

Her cult is the cancer of the con scene. The true cancer.

She used to go by Kiwi on CGL

>>8722807
Shirou from Fate/Stay Night
Dotachin from Durarara

I'm keeping it very chill this year.

The judges for the contest look pretty legit this time. Will we see a fair judging seagulls?

>>8721556
They've given cash prizes the last few years.

>>8723267
Well yea, they have that China Cosplay Summit this year.

>>8723267
(crosses fingers) heres hoping anon

>>8723267
>>8723314
Are the entrants at matsuri usually good? I've heard mixed things

>>8723267
you trollin? you trollin.

>>8723386
It's Florida, so Steven Universe, League, and Trash.

Yeah no. Not by a long shot.

>>8723475
>>8723386

The contest is on youtube. The winner last year was Tiana from Princess and the Frog. She sang a song from the movie and her dress was well crafted. There were good entrants last year imo.

>transgendering
It's hard to be mad at the people who hate us, because all of y'all are this level of fucking stupid.

>>8723653
Just saw her performance. My ears are bleeding desu

Anyone looking for a roomie?

I'd rather not drive 25 miles back and forth via I4 every day

>>8723653
You mean Ashe Iverk who never made any of her shit?

>>8723689
us? care to elaborate?

>>8723767
That bad huh?

>>8723951
The girl from last year who was Tiana was Fudgie whom I believe does make her costumes

>>8717982
Definitely going just for the tea party. It should be a good time.

>>8723961
Yeah, i know she does. Good stuff too.

any panels or events anyone is looking forward to? also a little horrified/curious to hear that the pleasure pixels show is JoJo themed this year. hopefully it'll be something funny but oh boy.

>>8724151
Ehhhh it's pleasure pixels. That would be a no.

There's a fuckton of rwby panels ugh

>>8724151
The panels this year look kinda lame desu

>>8717982
I am really considering it... will be a alone if I go though since the people I will room with are primarily cosplayers

first time going as well. Havent been to a con in a year, so hopefully this goes well

Super excited for this year! My friend and I are going to room together, first con she's been to since AFO 2014. Going to have fun and drink all weekend. Treating her to a mini spa day at the hotel Sunday afternoon as a Christmas gift.

We're going to attempt uchuu-kei, hopefully it goes well.

>>8724609
Kinda is an understatement in FL

>>8725537
As am I. Finally gonna be meeting some of my FB friends.

> mostly a drama lama thread
> lame desu

So who is wearing what?
If I have enough time I wanna make a Eli xmas LoveLive cosplay and a Chat Noir cosplay.
I also want to do a snow queen coord for the Winter Wonderland Tea Party

>>8729220
To be fair I've seen a lot of people complaining that desu has been added to the end of their posts
But back on topic probably going as Ariel or rapunzel
>I know I'm lame

>>8723314
Do you think we'll see some outstanding cosplays because of this? Or just the typical central Florida bullshit?

>>8730347
The qualifiers at megacon for it a few years ago wasn't anything special. Just normal florida cosplays. Yaya picked her friend from heroes of Cosplay as the winners but honestly their stuff was much better than most of the other peoples. We might see one stand out but I'm not expecting a lot.

>>8730606
Who's competing?

>>8730874
How should I know? I'm onky guessing based on what I saw at mega.

>>8731531
Only*

>>8729220
Chat Noir? From Ladybug?

> All Florida threads are drama threads
We have some of the worsr

.>>8730347
Typical Central Florida Bullshit

HolMat is only fun if you have a big group of friends, but I guess that's the same with every con. The arcade room is really nice, I liked that taxi game they had last year.
I looked at the panel schedule, shame the panels I'm interested in are all Friday :( but I'm glad they have the schedule up so early, and only 1 (I think) home stuck panel this year, thank god. Used to be cluttered with them.
Their official Magical Girl & Dance Cover contests are not that great. Was in the dance cover contests two years ago, they made us wait for an hour because the judges didn't want to come.
Also, male maid cafe? Interested in seeing how that is.

>>8732604
>Also, male maid cafe? Interested in seeing how that is.
Wish I could see a preview of the guys

that'll determine if it is worth it

>>8733138
Brennen Hill Jr. is prolly in it. Guy thinks he's "hot" enough to be a Cosplay Deviant.

I would stay away.

here y' go bud.

Going as a small Evangelion group as Misato. Come say hi and shotgun some beers with me

I just requested off work and it'll probably take a week or so before I find out if I'm approved. Do you think there will still be tea party tickets available around then? And is the timing of the tea party strict, like if I get there at noon instead of 11 will I look rude, or will people be coming and going? I work till 3am on Saturday and live 3 or so hours away so I'm going to be cutting it close

>>8740783
Since there's a food service it would probably be a bad idea not to show up on time, and last I heard there's less than 10 tickets left, but that was about a week or so ago.

I can only go for one day and their pre-reg price is $45 for Saturday only. The 3 day pass is $50. Are they brain damaged? This is really discouraging for people that haven't been before and don't know what to expect.

>>8741124
Welp...guess I should just buy it and hope for the best. Is there a place to check on how many spots are left?

I requested to get off early Friday night too so now as long as I get the time off I want I can definitely get there in time...

>>8741592
Nvm, I just bought it. I think I'm just being paranoid about not being able to get off work. I guess worse comes to worse I'll try to sell it to someone or something

>>8717938
why avoid the Pleasure Pixels kids? Did they fuck up or something?

>>8740515
I'd be down for that. What day and hopefully this doesn't turn out badly?

I mean...it's Misato after all.

>>8745165
Saturday most likely. My plan is to get as drunk as possible. It probably won't be the worst experience for you, maybe

>>8741446
Fake a pass with construction paper the same band color. Or wait around for someone to give you theirs. This has happened to me numerous times at past cons. Three people willingly gave me their badge at Shado this year.

>>8741446
Last year I walked up to the ticket sales in cosplay and sadly told them that I lost my badge. They let me get a replacement for $15. Probably won't try it again this year since I'm horrible at lying and I'm don't even know how I pulled it off honestly.

>>8745310
Well, I'll prolly either be Shirou or Dotachin....prolly Dotachin. But yeah, I'm down for some drinks. What time Saturday?

>>8745310

>>8748476
ithink anon wanted to know exact time on that Saturday.

Is this the right place to talk about the recent release of megacon prices? God damn they are steep this year. Even Awa had them at 60 or 65 for all four days.

>>8749003
Megacon is a joke. Just like the FL cosplay community amirite?

Meet up this year? Florida meets are always fantastic!

>>8751045
I'm down! If i get to go i'll probably be in lolita though.

>>8751068
I don't think anyone would have it any other way!

>>8751045
Yes please! Usually I'm fine with waiting for our Megacon meetups but... I can't wait six more months to hang with the squad.

This will be my first con in....4 years I think? going mainly for the tea party but if i have time might try to make Tokyo Black Cat Girl.
Pretty excited!

>>8751129
I've never read this before, looks super cute though!

>>8749728
I had more fun wandering around for 3 hours on Saturday night trying to find a party than going to the actual con all weekend.

Mfw all hotels won't let congoers party after midnight for some reason anymore.
Mfw I have no face.

>>8751601
>for some reason
Probably because they're a hotel and the people staying and not attending the con complain when they get stuck on the same floor as 3 room parties.

>>8721009
If you've known Iacca for years, you should know all the wildly inappropriate things he asks girls to do.

Any itabag enthusiasts going? Apparently on Sunday there's a panel. I had planned on bringing mine along that day.

If my package comes in time, I'll be changing into Umaru when I start drinking.

>>8751842
Cool to see itabags catching on. I wore mine to a few local cons and thought about not bringing it to holmat since it was physically 'ita' on my spaghetti arms (ended up carrying tons of other people's belongings in there too). If there's a panel I'm tempted to bring it again. Who is your itabag based on, anon?

>>8751842
Oh gosh is there? I don't have one but I'd love to see some in person

I want to make one but I'm torn between a waifu or rilakkuma...

>>8751999
Aoba from Dramatical Murder. Actually I should have a whole outfit provided things arrive in time.

>>8751824
Rocky is a cancer that needs to be torn out. The Cult of Rivera has gotta go. It is an attention whore on a grand scale, with multiple victims left in its wake.

Brace yourselves at Matsuri.

Well aside from the drama bomba , you've guys convinced me to go. Sounds like fun.

I want to make pudding shots and bring them to the seagull meetup, but would I get in trouble? I'd make sure the people I'm giving them to are 21+, but is there a no alcohol rule for the convention center?

I don't really want to bring people up to the room...

>>8751129
PLEASE DO
THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD

>>8755520
Just don't make it obvious that they're alcoholic?
And try not to give it to obvious minors.

>>8755543
Yeah I think TMM volume 1 was the first manga I ever read so this definitely brings back "feels" for me. I have a little masha plushie that i could carry around too. I just haven't sewn anything serious for a while so I"m a little worried, but her outfit is pretty simple!

>>8751842
I only saw one itabag at shadocon and would lvo to see more even if i dont have the finances to do it right now. please come anon!

>>8755520
When and where is the seagull meetup?

>>8756744
No idea but there's been talk of one, I just assume the details would come out closer to the con lol

>>8751842
>>8756744
I'm actually going to be in Orlando during this con and itabags and seagull meet up might be enough to get me to show up. I don't really want to buy a badge but I'd love to see some other seagulls and itabag enthusiasts.

>>8751129
>fighting against the bakas in tokyo

>>8714464
Yeahhhh definitely avoid, it was a few years ago but he groped my (then) underage friend.

>>8758769
bakus actually but this made me laugh 10/10

>>8758797
No I know but I misread it at first, haha

It just occurred to me that Holmat is next week and not two weeks from now and I'm simultaneously excited and mildly panicked because nothing's done yet.

>tfw im going to be working all of a sudden so I can't go
have fun without me gulls. Going up to orlando on a saturday night just to come back down sunday isn't worth it for me sadly.

>>8759072
Oh god I haven't seen her in months. I thought the asexual liar was gone.

This is gonna be fuuuuuun.

>>8758792
Don't worry, Travis will have his lips glued to Leaping Lizard's ass all weekend.

If someone can give me their badge Saturday night/Sunday Morning or scan me a bootleg one, I'll being you cactus candy from Arizona. Or a scorpion in a lolipop, idk what do you guys want?

Are we having a meet? Has anyone made an event?

>>8759678
Yeah I took a break from /cgl/ for a while because I got nothing but shit here and I decided I wanted to have fun cosplaying again. I'm stoked for Holmat though. Third favourite con right here.

>>8759701
Yet some of us had to leave cons entirely because rumors were started by FL cosplayers such as yourself that assassinated our character and forced us to quit cosplay, cons, and social media.

Let me guess, you got shit on because of Steven Universe? How does it feel t o be part of a fandom that tries to force people to kill themselves and is constantly triggered by EVERYTHING!?

>>8759927
ditto

>>8714405
>Who to avoid at this con, be it photog or congoer?

a guy named Seer Photos is going, avoid him at all costs.

he's roofied two of my friends in the past and is really forcible and allegedly molested girls at other events

can someone at this con please find Ahripop and take photos of her/with her?

>>8760287
Oh yeah and as for togs to avoid, zimperium photography. takes shitty photos and doesn't give you photos without his huge, ugly watermark on the bottom. yeah he returns the photos quickly and iirc his shoots are free, but it's a waste of time for you to shoot with him.

>>8760287
Anyone knows what she's wearing? I'll keep an eye out for her lmao

You know what, I want to fucking fight, i'm going to be cosplaying morty (rick and morty) and just give me a good beating. Bring your best floridafags.

>>8760553
I'll fight you and take your badge
>>8760287
I'll fight her too.

Meet me at HolMats next week if you want an ass kicking.

>>8759927
You sound really upset about that last part. I didn't do any of that shit. Calm down and take a walk or something buddy.

I left because I didn't feel like putting my stuff out there to cater to people who were never going to be impressed. It seemed dumb after a while. I didn't want to think about the negativity. I got shit on because people didn't like me for things that I did but won't tell me what I did so I could fix the problem. It was just an endless cycle of negativity and nothing getting resolved and I just didn't want a part in it.

Like I said, i'm here for Holmat. I'm excited about the con and I can't wait to see my friends. I have a feeling it's going to be a good one.

>>8760553
I'll take you on bro, set a time.

Someone needs to give Ahripoop a dose of reality.

>>8760730
I'll verbally fight you. Or at the very least, sit you down and talk this shit out. Cause I'm tired of all of this bullshit.

>>8760284
Got any proof? Cause that's fucked up.

Anyone know what Rocky will be wearing? The skins of her followers perhaps?

Ehhh, anyone know a Shannon Whalen? If so, is she one to avoid as well?

>>8760299
>>8760569

I'm not too excited about the panels this year. There are only a few I'm actually going out of my way for like MonHun.

The majority of the con for me is chilling with the people who have the holiday spirit and hanging in the dealer room. I had a really good time last year doing those things.

>>8767712
I did the same thing. I went to two panels and the JoJo one was silly but the RWBY one was fucking boring.

tf is with that girl in the group suddenly complaining that she's fat and ugly after posting her lineup and shitty selfies

are you mad because no one commented on your posts before or what

Anyone going to the winter woodland angelic pretty tea party?

It's my first time going alone so I'm pretty nervous.

>>8768195
I'm going with my friend

I'm a little sad because it seems not a lot of girls from the local comm are going?

>>8768077
There's some girl going as Shinji all three days.

You could always beat up on her.

>>8768017
i hear from people the jojo panel might be better this year since there's gonna be trivia and prizes given out.

>>8768195
I'll be going alone too, this will be my first time wearing lolita out in public so I'm pretty nervous too. Do you know if theres gonna be like assigned seating? I really hope so lol I don't want to be like the last person sitting all by herself.

I heard Alychu and her gay ass roommates might start a fight with people. I hope that she gets banned from the con.

I'm pretty sure Travis Faps to all the girls he takes pictures of. I really feel bad for them

>>8768484

You know...... That would explain why he takes so many photos and why the angle are quite awkward

>>8768224
>>8768195
What will you be wearing? My friend and I will sit with you guys if there's no assigned seating, I totally understand that feeling and I love chatting with seagulls

>>8768486
I'll be wearing a blue velveteen jsk in a witch themed coord, that's nice of you!

>>8768202
That's cause they all wasted their money on DFT.

>>8760292
Have you asked him to remove the watermark? I'm confused, usually people don't complain about watermarks.

Uchuu anon from before, I also have bracelets (again bulk order) so squawk/caw at me and I'll give you some, tis the season, join our cuteness mission, etc. (Don't caw at green space girl though she will be scared and confused.)


>>8768553
Of course! <3

>>8768575
I really wanted to go to DFT because I wanted to support the comm, but I ended up going all out for Holmat. There's always Summer ILD, I guess.

>>8770278
>there's always summer ILD

You know, I went to this past summers tea that DFT hosted and it was terrible. I also want to support Florida comms being a Floridian myself, but I'd rather save my money and go to tea at the Grand Floridian for less money and better food and tea than what was at the ILD tea. Most people at these meets clique up anyway so there's little point in being in a large group with people you're probably not going to talk to, especially if literally everything - aside from the even space which you could not take photos in cause the lighting was shit - was lack luster.

Is anyone seeing this girl's posts craving for some fucking attention on the Facebook Group?

>>8771060
Yup. It's killing me.

>>8771060
>>8771064

"So close yet... I'm sad. All these cosplayers are too good.. Then you see that one very awful girl. Me! I'm too fat and ugly... Cons make me scared. No one hangs out with me and I'm just way way way too fat.

HolMat has the people who make me nervous.."

"I appreciate all the kindness that you all gave, I can't reply to all you because it's a bit troublesome todo so. So... Thank you... And to all that said I could hang out with you, I'll be Yui Komori on Saturday from Diabolik lovers~
Really... Thank you."


"Oh god... No, No, no. HolMat your sending me nervous jitters.
I'm still frightened you see, I don't know what todo when I get there. I'm not gonna get a ticket so I'm gonna roam around but I don't know where I'm allowed too and I'm still looking for peeps to be with. My negativity is still there and HolMat is literally tomorrow. (Even though I'm not going Friday.)
SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE, IM IN NEED FOR KINDNESS."

"So... Last try... I guess.
Saturday I will be really lonely and sad. XD I need some people to hang out with and if any cosplayer wants to be with me... Please do.
My Yui Komori will be lonely.. I'm bringing a teddy as well, a teddy bear with a eyepatch. (Still hoping for Diabolik Lovers cosplayers to go) but I guess it can't be helped."

FUCKING DEAD

No idea what Ahripoop is gonna wear but it's probably going to be her ugly, overpriced black fox ears and like 5 bras in an attempt to make it look like she has boobs.
Please take plenty of pics for lolcow.

>>8771065
Wait did she say she's not getting a ticket and is just gonna hang around and expects people to join her

>>8771065

Don't understand how she begs for attention then says it is too troublesome to reply to people who went out of their way to help her. Kinda pisses me off.

More like average/kinda below average. Just seems like a run of the mill attention whore.

good day strong day

really happy that pleasure pixels was condensed into a single show, is that how their friday night shows usually are? I've only ever gone to peppermint parlor in previous years

I found this awesome Booth with Figma, Figuarts and Gunpla and pick up some stuff and I MET MODERATLY OKAY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This con is going great.

To the No Thank You!! Panel host, sorry I had to leave early but I had a wonderful time!

Good shit.

Great time. Sorry I couldn't come to the meetup, got roped into helping set up for the Hottest Men of Anime Panel. Maybe next time, gulls.

Friday Undertale shoot was a hot pile of shit. Babies shouldn't organize shoots. Wish I could have stayed for the next day's. Looked a fuck ton better.

Lolita gulls, did I/we just miss it or was there no tea at the tea party? cant remember if there were tea bags on the table or not. All i know is I didn't drink any tea.

>>8776445
The hotel didn't bring it. They were Spanish and asked everyone of they wanted coffee. : /

>>8776450
I remember waitstaff at my table but didn't get asked about coffee nor tea :( I'll live without it obviously lol, but wish the con would have emphasized this to the hotel staff before hand!

>>8776445
No but honestly I didn't miss it. I love me some orange juice. Also I don't think they came to our table and asked us about coffee.

>>8776440
NEEEEERDS

>>8776374
Should've taken pics, anon.

Also is anyone following the PULL drama where someone tried to provoke a fight with Ahri just so she would get mad at them and they could post out of context caps to make her look bad?

I'm friends with Jonathan Sanchez, Travis (lastname here), and Allychu.

Ya'll seem to love throwing salt and shade. Jon is a shy gay baby who is still learning to flirt properly. If anything said makes you uncomfortable literally address it. Instead of shit-talking. We get along great, and I have already been flirted with.

Travis? I saw and hung around him for at least an hour at the con around hundreds of cute cosplayers of both genders. No disrespect said or done. I can't vouch for his past.

Ally literally opened her room to con goers offering alcohol, and atmosphere. Very few people love conventions enough to do that. Yes, she can get emotional, but anyone can when they're dealing with personal issues.

Nice to see 12 year olds and jealous, weeby, asexuals slutshaming.


Holmat is fun, it was my first year, and I'm a shy babbu. few panels, higher price tag apparently, but giant balls at a sports rave made it an actual fun rave, plenty of sexy night life events (sexiest men of anime panel was so well done despite the judges not really judging properly), the hotel is lovely and keeps congoers in each others company, room parties abound, and every cosplay is xmas themed cuteness.

I made some new friends, am now borderline pansexual from that all male burlesque, and will definitely go next year and try to make a more christmas-themed cosplay.

>>8776713
Hello friend.

I think you accidentally posted this on 4chan instead of tumblr.

>>8775980
I was wearing lolita and missed the opportunity to play pachinko, now I'm sad

>>8775359
The girl with long black hair? I think I know who you're talking about. What happened?

>>8776713
Your writing is incredibly annoying tumblr tier. Either way, a good chunk of people dont like her, doing this only makes it worse.

>>8776713
>friends with Allychu
You mean Alychu right? Because if you were actually friends with her you would probably be able to get her cosplay name right. You must be some troll trying to bring these people up to feed drama. Your bait is bad.

>>8776894

Yes, I was working at a booth in gamer room and we talked for a little bit and 30 minute later as people were getting kicked out she waved at me but I couldnt leave the booth so I wasnt able to give her my contact info

>>8776713
You must be new.

Also you mean Scotka? Friends should know friends' last names.

I went the whole con without experiencing the earthquake that is Fatchu. Praise Santa.

Looking on tumblr at the holmat tag....so much Undertale cosplay. Some good, some bad, but man I'm already so over this. I enjoyed undertale, too, but I never want to see another frisk or sans again.

>>8776844
I played for a little bit Saturday when I was still wearing it, but I sucked.

Sunday I had some time, so I bought a tray and tried again at a different machine. Every time I got another tray I just felt the shame pouring over me but I couldn't stop, shit's addictive

Wish I could have danced to more random music with friends but all in all, good con. Can't wait for next year.

yeah the Undertale cosplays are really starting to pick up
>thats why I really want to cosplay it before it all completely goes to shit

Speaking of contests, who won the holiday themed one and the main one?

Holiday Runway winners were a big borderlands group. They looked amazing, I think it was deserved.

CICAF winners were Clever Disguises.

Cosplay Super Show winners were a group that that had an Alice in it. And another girl with a crazy detailed hoop dress and staff. I don't know their names or what they were from.

>>8774132
I saw her in a crowd walking down to the dealers room but didnt get a picture. Its obvious that its her when you see her.

>>8777835
Craftsmanship counted as well but most important was personality. They judged on personality during personal interviews.

>>8777786
Umm...What are they? Any other shots of their cosplays?

>>8777894
Lurk moar.

>>8777923
Because I don't recognize them from a blurry cellphone pic? I saw they're from Over the Garden Wall but I wanted more pictures. I can't tell if the girl is supposed to be Beatrice or the Woodsman's daughter or what. They don't look like anything.

>>8778010

What a shitty skit

>>8778167
Must not have been that shitty since it won.

>>8778010
I was surprised there were decent quality skits especially for a Florida con, but this one was one of the weakest. They weren't the best performance OR the best costume.

>>8778193
Nah, it was pretty shitty. They had a nice idea with the changing backgrounds but they didn't execute it well and the costumes are just okay. The Woodsman's is the only one that looks remotely good to me. The Beast wasn't impressive at all and I could see exposed skin on his/her neck the whole time. Also what the fuck was that green thing in the front of the stage?

>>8778210
Did anyone else notice they had people holding up their background?

>>8778270
Their video said it broke right before the performance but it broke hours before the show in multiple places. Poorly made

>>8778010
all of this groups skits are cringy as fuck holy shit

Anyone notice Ashe Iverk there? She got invited to be a "cosplay guest" at Omni Con.

>>8778367
Summing up American cosplay. Boy, we're going to make some impression in China with these two.

>>8778796
Sometimes I wonder if they pick the group that is the most cringe because muh America. Can't have anythig decent represent us.

In all fairness though, I haven't seen the other skits yet

>>8774240
Host here, no worries! We didn't get a chance to do anything after you left because security was pushing everyone out of the convention hall but I had a great time with the three of you that showed up haha!

Did anyone else notice GLW using the Holiday Matsuri tag on IG because Lockshop was a guest? Fucking hilarious.

I had a great time! But that's mainly because I was with a pretty great group of friends. I was the lanky fuck cosplaying Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. This is my third time going as him because he's like one of my all-time favorite characters but I think this was one of my best runs. I added a bit more to the costume and got the hair fucking PERFECT this time.

Anyway this was my first time at holmat and I thought the Christmas theme was cute and stupid and fun, I loved it. Yeah it was small but at the end of the day I was able to make this so it was all worth it.

Seems the con is moving next year.

Unrelated note, why do people care about Dancing Kakashi? He seems like he has fun but also kinda doesn't act like Kakashi all that much, if my memory of the character is right.

What's the dealio? What's the history of Dancing Kakashi in the local scene?

>>8780722
He just kind of exists. I heard he's a massive tool.

>>8780722
>>8780896
He got the name because he used to dress up like Kakashi and dance everywhere. Now he doesn't dress up like him and people still call him that. I mean, it sounds a hell of a lot cooler than Chuck so I see why. He's been around the fl scene for awhile and been with a lot of the girls.

>>8780722
>>8780896
>>8780950
Chuck is well...meh. He's fine at a distance , but has a massive ego at times. He fucked up some Kaneki cosplayers' pole at the Hot Man of Animu panel.

>>8780996
That upsets me a lot. I get really mad about people ruining cosplays/props by being irresponsible. I feel really bad for the cosplayers.

>>8781141
THIS WAS STAFF FUCKING UP A COSPLAYERS' PROPS.

YOU DON'T FUCKING DO THAT SHIT TO PEOPLE.

The Kaneki placed second though, so the pole didn't break while he performed.

Anyone go to that Bro Cafe? I wanted to go, but didn't wanna pay 10 bucks extra.
