/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I might have to cancel Otakon and not be able to be in one of my dream groups because my mom's finally starting to go off the deep end and there's a CPS report filed against her. I've already made plans to find an apartment with my younger sister (who just turned 18 last week) over the summer, but hours have been cut for me at work (I work two parttime jobs and I'm a student, but I'll be dropping out temporarily so I can save money), and I might have to take in my other little sister, who is a minor that can't work so I'll have to cover for her rent. I'm just really fucking angry. I feel like every time something good starts to happen in my life, my mom has to go and ruin it. I really hope my dad finally leaves her or she gets arrested and admitted to a psych ward like she should have been years ago. I really don't want to have to take care of my sisters and put my life on hold, but I can't stand by and watch them deal with this shit. I've been out of the house for 5 years and I'm still mentally fucked up.

Basically anything of Love Live.

There is a huge variety of costumes, from super simple to very elaborate designs, and thought it might be a good starting point to try cosplaying, but it's probably so done by now that I'd be just "another one of them" - even more since I had to rely on taobao first too.

I really enjoyed the anime series around µ's and had the idea to crossplay as Honk or Maki for a long time already.

Eventhough I didn't really like the Love Live Sunshine anime that much, I also had the idea to go for Hanamaru or Dia since I like their characters and feel like I could pull them off I guess? But with the second season airing in fall, it'll turn out the same. Conventions all over the world flooded with tons of LLS cosplays.
