/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm a crippled severely ill chronically depressed fuck who can count on my hand the things that make me minimally genuinely happy and conventions/cosplay are one of them.
It's unbelievable I made more life experience and bonds in one year in a chinese cartoon dress-up fantasy than anything else.
>nearly getting into a fist fight
>literal cliché romantic moment under the rain
>going to a strip club in cosplay
>going to a gay bar in crossplay
>sharing wax with some cosplayer i don't even know in a nearby mall restroom
>sitting in an alley with some bros slav-squatting in seifuku skirts browsing grindr and gossiping
>going to a con the day before a tough surgery and getting more support from some rando cosplayers than my own family
>having some really famous guest hold me in their arms as i bawl my eyes out feeling the closest feeling of affection I've felt in years
>finally thinking to myself "I'm glad I lived long enough to experience this" for the first time in my life
>tfw
And that's just from one year of local cons in a small poorfag country.
