No, he was in front of the jack, it was similar to a backpack style puppet

>>10683698
Because I am crazy and swear its real this is a quick Photoshop I did using google images of what I remember it looking like.

I believe they were both in darker tones, and it was taken in a hallway of an event.

I will spoon feed you. Rules 1 and 2 refer to the original rules of the internet. 1. Do not talk about /b/. 2. Do not talk about /b/. In the past when 4chan did raids, we would say we're from ebaumsworld to divert the actual source of our raids. These rules extended to not talking about 4chan to others period and those that did publicly speak of the site were shamed. But with the site's growth and trolling for the lulz extending outside the internet, it quickly became well known thanks to celebrities, chatty anons and news. This has been your history lesson of the evening. Enjoy it scrote.

There, it's easy if you're not an autist.

Hell I don't know, I just googled it. Thread needs more topless and ab cosplay

>>10682439
Isn't that cosplayer Taryn? He's really awesome. Also I find the fact that he is shy and introvert cute, because it doesn't fit with his looks.

As long as you're not a sperg about it, just ask.

>>10682245
no need to be mad

do people really think lolita is classy?

>>10682258
some toned down classic than leans vintage-y can be. otherwise, no

>>10682267
a lot of gothic can look very classy too when styled a certain way. maybe some very specific sweet items with careful styling but probably not as most sweet comes off pretty kitschy/ or immature, at least in western countries where being hyper feminine in a way that is not sexually appealing is seen as for kids

3157,

Your form doesn't mention sizing. I would guess based on your social media that you are free-size. But if there are multiple sizes of something available, like IW which has M and L sizes, would you prefer the more snug fit or more room for comfort?

>>10694529
Yeah you did mention you collect indie brands.

I'm really not sure about the difference between old/classic style and what's modern, I don't really know lolita at all. I think I might have noticed some patterns to what you like though.
You don't seem to like full bows, and strongly prefer tied ones? Even when they're not hairbows. You don't want the edges of the fabric in decorative cloth flowers to be open so you can see the frays. You seem to like lace. But even just putting it into words doesn't cover everything. Sometimes it's more of a feel. Like, I saw a skirt, but it felt like it was for energetic movement, which didn't fit the image I have of you. Sometimes I try to close my eyes and imagine an antique doll (helpful description!) with the item I'm looking at, and may reject based on how I feel like that would look. And Victorian Maiden just overall looked too soft and round, if that makes sense, at least on their store.

And for jewelry, I don't even get a feeling. For some AatP, I might get some sort of feeling that it's not quite right, but when it comes to jewelry I can't even pretend to myself that I got any sense.
Like why is this crown bad (aside from the gold) when it looks so similar to the ones you listed?
https://shop.baby-aatp.com/collections/alice-and-the-pirates/products/p17ac023-a-p-vine-rose-crown-pearl-necklace
Is it the "antique-ness"? In that case, doesn't this Baby crown fail for the same reason? You didn't wish it and maybe this is why, but then I don't see the difference between Baby and Alice jewelry anyway since I feel these are so similar.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/133921621763?hash=item1f2e59c703:g:XjEAAOSwJstgRp2C
Even some Moi Meme Moitie jewelry looks like it could be okay to me.

Are there any corrections to make to my assumptions and feelings?

cont. >>10694685

>>10694529
I feel like I shouldn't just leave all the work to you, but it's probably more important that you get something you like, so I think I should say yes to your offer, it would be helpful if you could link some pieces. Time isn't endless either. But even aside from that, just naming some less popular brands and some indie brands could be helpful too. There are some brands that pop up at Wunderwelt, but that might be limited and not your prefered brands.
I've kind of just assumed the defunct indie brands would be impossible to find anything of, but if they really are doable I can try to look a bit better, otherwise it would be helpful if you named some brands.

>I think I also forgot to include in my form that I have a 3DS, which I mostly play Animal Crossing on, but would love to have more DS games for.
DS games, not 3DS games?
And do you have any preferred types of games?

>>10694536
I kind of figured, if you wanted homemade items you'd already've made them yourself.

>>10694424
Hi~ I play in person MTG, I'm really lucky to have a weekly group that isn't stink-lords at the local game store.
I have been trying to get into Commander with some precons, but mainly I play Standard (Orzhov angels).
Archetypes I love are ANGELS (and Ashiok's whole mill dealio). I have an Aurelia angel playmat and RBW are my favorite colors.

>>10686521
Yeah cause blacklitas are inheritly racist. So of course.

>>10686522
Damn, haven't you raged enough on the FB BLM forum today?

Don't you have some buildings to go burn down?

>>10686525
What about my post looks like i support BLM? Being angry that black women want to wear frills in peace is giving you brain rot? You are literally making random things up because you are desperate to push a narrative, stop it.

>>10686113
Same thing happened to me in 2011. It was my first dress and I paid $80 for what originally was like $30 tops. Fucking con scalpers.

If you mean actual steel, all day? It's not that bad, just takes some getting used to

>>10682168
cute

>>10690913
This anon is right, Actual metal will work as a heat sink allowing you to wear chain mail all day without overheating. EVA foam armor (or any thermoplastic for that matter) doesn't breathe and will cause a problem with extended wear. Treat it like a fursuit. 30 mins on your first trial, if you're feeling OK, keep going. I have an armor set that I can wear for 6 hours no problem but another that has a 60 minute time cap before I start sweating like a faucet.

about 2 hrs

>>10682168
Wandered in from the larp thread, but my max is around five hours in plate, fighting, with no water.

At a con? You should be able to wear it until you need to take it off to sleep/shower/ECT. If you can't, something is probably wrong.

I'm somewhat mixed on the writing, but the outcry I've seen on social media feels unjustified. This is an opinion piece on the Comic Con experience written from the POV of an outsider. As such it's not intended to be a positive pat on the back article the greater community only wants to see.from the press.

Reading between the lines the article manages to capture the essence of a comic con just fine. You have fans getting together, enthusiastically celebrating their oddball hobbies, some dedicated enough to wear costumes and enthusiastically presenting themselves. For outsiders such as the author and "mom's who tagged along" this definitely seems weird, but it also explains how for insiders it's a form of positive escapism where they feel safe and accepted in an open community. Some of the quirks with cosplay, photography and use of business cards was added, again something outsiders would consider weird. I also truly respect how the author also didn't pretend it's all roses and unicorns after all the super positive takes and quotes and included the darker side of things such as sexual harrassment.

To me there were only 2 questionable parts in the article. The first was the unnecessary intro on Ukrainian refugees who could be afraid of costumed nerds and usual weapon prop request from the police. The second was how the only POC in the article was described as being black and working at KFC, where everyone else was just another name. But aside from that, it's all fine by me.

>>10747764
That explanation is so much taken out of it's context, it's funny how you keep out the whole discord server harassing Angry Anon, and you let it all slide off as "normal behavior"?
Yah, it's going to be a tough action to ban the whole discord server for violating the "don't harass people" rule...

As for the DDoS, that wasn't even said, you made that up. No threat with DDoS was made, it was a explanation how the Angry Dude got a DDoS of 600gbit on his modem connection, don't try to reverse the whole explanation, that's just sad.

You are allowing your discord group to harass and bully a guy on discord for having a other opinion, which you also seem to put completely out of it's context....

Yah, your discord server is dirty, all I can say.

>>10747764
can I join if I don't speak dutch

>>10747793
Like I've said, everything is still up on the Discord for anyone to read if they want to evaluate the situation themselves. The original DDOS threat, and I quote was "heb je wel eens 600gbit op je bek gehad?" or "Have you ever been hit by 600gbit?" for the English speakers. Pretty clear language, especially under the circumstances. There is nothing else for you gain here. The choice to ban you after going full dick mode and mentioned threats is final and will NOT be reverted as you clearly haven't changed at all during the past 3 years. Have a wonderful day!

>>10747794
The main language of the server is Dutch, but we do occasionally get Non-Dutchies looking for information on specific conventions. They are welcome to join of course, but do know things might be hard to follow once people switch back to Dutch. We use separate joinable ranks and channels for each convention, so if that's your primary goal you could join them and ignore everything else.

>>10747803
>> Like I've said, everything is still up on the Discord for anyone to read if they want to evaluate the situation themselves.

Sure, no problem, I've got also the logs here, and I definitely didn't say any of what you claim, so... ;)

>> The original DDOS threat, and I quote was "heb je wel eens 600gbit op je bek gehad?" or "Have you ever been hit by 600gbit?" for the English speakers. Pretty clear language, especially under the circumstances.

Again, taking out of context, as I said after that pretty much that I received that stuff on my modem. Always fun when you copy/paste single lines... eh...

>The choice to ban you after going full dick mode and mentioned threats is final and will NOT be reverted as you clearly haven't changed at all during the past 3 years.

Yes, because the rest was oh so nice and didn't spam and flooded the whole channel, making personal insults and swearing towards me personally was all okay, and following the rules, right ? Hypocrite... Have a nice day too I guess.

I've got the logs right here, you're taking everything out of it's context as usual. Have fun on your dirty discord with toxic people...

>>10707814
I literally saw that from Kami the other day and was sad it was sold out before I even knew it existed. The creators said they're not planning to rerelease either because of their manufacturer. Maybe I'll find it resold one day.

magical announced they will make a new dress release at the beginning of next year, but also that it will be the last one

Yep, you got it. Just realized I posted right as the thread hit autosage, hopefully everyone who asked saw it. I've only ordered from Lab de Merveilles before myself and pretty much agree with what you had to say. Thanks for adding onto my recommendations!

Thanks friends. I have started the commissioning process and honestly might get two sets made by different people depending on price. Kinda nervous it won’t turn out

There was a lolita in the background of a Parks and Rec episode too. Iirc the girl was a friend of a crew member and told she could wear whatever since it was a Halloween episode.

I couldn't find a better picture of Lemon in her normal clothes, but as far as Pretty series outfits go, Lemon's "gothic lolita" outfit isn't too bad imo?? Plus her character is an absolute gem.

Everybody needs to watch Waccha Primagi.

>>10681684
She's an incredibly annoying character and I hope she doesn't appear in strive

Literally who?

I had to commute home from Penn on Friday night. Thanks to NYCC my train car was shared with a flock of fat fuck zoomer weebs who spent the whole ride getting drunk on twisted tea+limearitas while squealing about anime and making those weird tumblr-ass uwu LGBT jokes at each other

Also got a death stare from some girl wearing AP when I bumped into her. Dude... don't wear burando to a fucking cramped NYC bodega if you're that worried about it.

I feel like I'm posting the obvious but I've met too many lost/unsure photographers thay want to do Con photography but just can't get their foot in the door.
tl;dr - Be neat, be nice, don't be a fucken weirdo. Don't be afraid to ask a cosplayer if you can take their photo and don't be a bitch if they say no. It'll all be okay senpai, we're gonna make it.

I always make my con expenses back from doing shoots, and so can you (hopefully).

Ask for permission to take photos as usual, and then leave business card if you're looking to make a name.

also, as a cosplayer photographer, you should also focus on good -in character posing, portraits and have some nice photoshop skills on top of photography skills.
Be humble, don't be a creep

>>10685692
Not OP but brilliant write up, thank you tripfag.

>>10683709
>Cosplayers aren't professional, are broke and you won't get anything from them
Thats not even remotely true. Plenty of professional cosplayers exist, and plenty of casual cosplayers want high resolution photos of their cosplay.
>>10684748
>All you need is a modern phone and you can do 99.9999999% of what a cosplay photographer can do.
Phone cameras are still nowhere close to professional cameras when it comes to portrait shots. Phone cameras still have terrible fake bokeh.
A photographer will also better understand how to make a photo look good too, and may have more software to create a more unique photo.

>>10683709
You'd be a god if you could. One of the most annoying things is trying to get the right angle when you aren't in control of the camera

>>10685691
lol I wear cargo shorts and look like a weeb and it hasn't affected me any. Just be good at what you do and word will get around. You can run around in a t-rex suit; if people know you do good work they'll be happy to shoot with you. People recognize their friends in photos you've taken and will ask them how you did as a photographer.
