/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>first con ever (not underage, just live in midfuck nowhere and broke), a local small-ish con
>expecting it to be awful
>my cosplay is sloppy and abhorrent
>soon as i exit public restrooms after changing into cos
>"OMG (CHARACTER NAME)!!!"
>already found people of my series, take pic
>soon as i arrive into con
>literally the best cosplay of another character of a series (both costume and personality wise) greets me, offers me to join their group
>stick with that group for the rest of the day
>they're fucking amazing, funny, talented, and so kind and open minded (didn't mind me being a queer and tarded either, were super nice and understanding about it)
>lots of memes and laughing and blabbering passionately about our characters' series
>sad i couldn't join the cosplay contest and my feet hurt but don't even care about it anymore because how much fun i had with people (and best cosplayer i mentioned won anyway)
>sad i have to go home and won't see these people again/for a long time though
>tfw have the best con experience ever
Holy fuck, now i understand why people do this...
