#GoldCardComment The easiest way to win the heart of a cosplayer is to master sewing and help them handmake their costumes for conventions! 🥰 Need to find a man to cosplay with lol 😌
Now if that ain't a mood (not the cosplay, I still have yet to attempt one, the alone part) Living in a city that has little to no entertainment I missed a lot of famous cons in my country due to them always taking place elsewhere. The only local con we had was very small but I still loved it both times that I visited and despite going alone I'd always bond with some strangers for the day (during the 1st one some of my friends happened to be helpers, so I'd stumble aross them anyway, the 2nd one I spent with 2 girls that I talked to by the anime merch stall and we'd play scavenger hunt for the rest of the con). This year I found especially freeing when I got to attend Genshin Meet in Cracow, which might've been less than 300 people, but I still got to buy a ton of prints and take pictures with some lovely cosplayers. And since my time there was very limited, I got to run through the stalls and finish the Adventurers' Guild quests without feeling restricted. Missed a lot of interesting panels tho, which was a shame.
Smaller cons are nice (as long as they are well organized), not as much to see sometimes, but it makes it less overwhelming. It's often easier to chat with vendors or with artists in artist alley because the crowds aren't so intense as they are at the super big cons. I've gotten to chat with pro comic artists in artist alley a few times, and it was really cool.
The easiest way to win the heart of a cosplayer is to explain how 3D printing works. Seriously my printer’s been sitting in my garage for a year and video tutorials aren’t helpful I’ve had that exact file for Apollo’s bracelet waiting to go how do you make the printing bed level- But seriously, with 10+ years of cons and cosplaying, I’ve found the best way to meet people is to go to specific fandom meetups! I’ve met a lot of lifelong friends that way, and it’s just always good to vibe with people who have common interests. I wouldn’t worry too hard about cosplaying alone either; it’s definitely a good idea when you’re young/just starting to go to cons to at least have one buddy with you for safety reasons, but once you get the hang of the con scene it really becomes second nature (I definitely prefer doing cons by myself these days aha). Your cosplays were great, definitely take pride in them and your channel! ❤️ (Also! If I can give a suggestion for styling a wig for Apollo specifically, what I did for my wig was actually form his horns separate out of wire, felt, and wig wefts. I cut four felt pieces, two for each horn, out to the size I wanted them, formed a wire armature to be sandwiched and glued inside the felt pieces, then slowly covered the felt with wig wefts using Fabri-Tac. Slowly is the keyword for this because Fabri-Tac does show when dry, it’s easy to mess up and I definitely did lol. But after that I just cut a hole near the front of my wig, slid the wire inside, glued it to the top of the wig cap and covered it with felt, and the horns were in! I have no idea if that’ll be helpful to you at all, but cosplay is all about sharing the wealth! ^^)
Ayo this is HIGH QUALITY! As a fellow RU-vid Animator, I reached out to you on the other platform you have! (cough cough, the "gram") We should chat! >:D Talk to ya soon!
The easiest way to get me to click on a videos to put Apollo Justice on the thumbnail. I've only ever been to one small cosplay convention (and unfortunately my cosplay was of a character played by a recently revealed not great person rip 💀) but it was fun! I'd definitely go to it again, I'm also from a pretty small town so seeing so many people with relatively the same interests is great
I went to a community college during 2019-2021 (it's a two year) and I went for Computer Information Systems to basically expand upon what I already knew from trade school from taking Computer Technology. I spent 2 semesters learning nothing I signed up for. Had to take coding when I specifically planned to not take any kind of coding and like you mentioned all of the electives you had to have. I spent my first two semesters doing just electives and a coding class. Once I got to year 2, I got to actually do classes pertaining to my major and about 50% of it was all stuff I already knew from trade school. Luckily my professor talked me out of going to a 4-year school right after cause apparently what I learned from his class in 2 semesters would be the same stuff they teach at the 4-year school. In terms of how it was for dealing with the lockdown, it just made everything so easy to cheese classes. Luckily, I could still show up on campus, but I needed to check in each day saying I'm not sick and get tested at least every 4 weeks. Me being someone who learns better in a learning environment than at home I did this each day I could. But also, because there were labs that my courses, I majored in that required me to be in person for me to meaningfully gain anything from, to the point my professor was suggesting sneaking us on campus for days where we weren't allowed to be there in person due to lockdowns cause it messed with his schedule for our classes, having some days being forced to be remote and others where you can be on campus if you want to. At least I was able to still run the gaming & anime club (yes, they were combined) during the lockdowns once they eased them up a bit. It was basically what I looked forward to everyday once the week was over since we did our events on Fridays after most classes finished. Overall poor timing that the world said lockdown time when I went to college but at least I'm not in student loan debt.
Been cosplaying for 10+ years and the best way to meet friends is to hit up the meetups for the show you are cosplaying from. Everyone there knows where to start and you all have a good base subject to start talking about.
I've yet to go to an anime convention but I've gone to fighting game majors like Combo Breaker and Evo2022-2024 and cosplayed there while I was competing. Even gotten on stream a couple times and gotten the commentators to compliment my cosplay. And despite not cosplaying a fighting game character, I was still getting recognized and people fanboying/fangirling over my cosplay which just always puts a smile on my face. So, eventually I want to cosplay at an anime convention. I'm also in a rural part of the world where people around me don't care about Japanese media so I definitely empathize with you there on being isolated.
The easiest way to win the heart of a cosplayer is to own a 3D printer! Found your channel a couple of days ago and have been enjoying all you videos, keep up the great work!!
Came for the Ace Attorney thumbnail, stayed for the unadulterated joy of early convention experiences I’ve been attending cons for about a decade (??!!????!!!) now & it’s so heartwarming to be reminded of the absolute wonder and awe I felt when I first started going. You captured it so perfectly, with great humor & storytelling to boot 😊😊😊
Meanwhile I plan to cosplay for my first convention either a certain clock head, or a coffee drinker from a certain game franchise... (Or maybe the depressed emo poet mf but with the butterfly pistols from the same set of games.)
this just solidified my will to go to cosplay at a convention! either as hiyori iki from noragami, of phos from land of the lustrous :) i’ve never been to one but this looked like so much fun i think i have to go now
Momocon 2024 was my 7th or 8th convention, and ever since my first con in 2021 as a 13 y/o, I’ve always gone with someone or had a companion while walking around. Monday of Momocon was the only day I had to be by myself, and I was lowkey biting my nails because I had no idea what to do and was expecting the worst 😓(especially because of the cosplay I had on). Thankfully, it ended being a rather mundane but decent experience, as I didn’t attend any panels but rather spent majority of my time in artist alley/dealers hall, along with watching the danganronpa & nearby shoots unfold. The one thing I will admit is that when you’re by yourself, you can go at your own pace, and not be constrained by the people you’re with (in a positive way of course)
The easiest way to win the heart of a cosplayer is to fanboy/girl with them! I love complimenting someone’s cosplay just for them to get equally excited about mine! It’s such a fun moment
White Card Answer: You be their handler for a convention. (Help them travel to and from the con, Protect their costume, fix the costume if it starts to break, and be their eyes/ears. Also remind them to eat, drink, use the bathroom, and take a break.) They'll have too much fun to remember the human basics.
The easiest way to win the heart of a cosplayer is to call them the IRL version of the cosplayed character! I say this with experience, I cosplayed Gallagher from Star Rail last Saturday and even tho it was a casual cosplay I got called the IRL Gallagher multiple times and it made me absolutely melt❤
As a cosplayer, the easiest way to win the heart of a cosplayer is to recognize their obscure cosplay. If anyone recognized my Vivy cosplay there's a good chance I would actually hug them lol #goldcardcomment
I've been to anime conventions before with my sister but never cosplayed before, this year I got a anime friend from my school and hopefully he'll want to cosplay with me next year lol
@SketchesByAidan I have a cosplay partner. But on the first day of the con, when we were going to cosplay Kakegurui students, he had a last minute family obligation, so I went alone. I cosplayed as Kobeni from Chainsaw Man. I was bored and lonely, so I spent all day in Artist Alley, chatting with the artists. I ended up buying way too much art and blowing my budget. I learned I'm not a fan of attending anime cons alone. If you are ever in Seattle, WA, Easter weekend. Check out Sakura-Con. We get celebrities from Japan. There's so much to do and see and lots of cosplayers. Join a Meetup and meet some new American friends.😃😃 I cosplay Giyu, so your Tanjiro cosplaying would fit right in.😊
AAAAHH!! A FELLOW ACE ATTORNEY FAN!!!! When I saw Apollo Justice I had to check it out! And I am not disappointed I really relate to this video. I went to my first anime convention over the summer (and also went broke). I wanted to cosplay but I’m pretty nervous about it. Also! Have you played Miles Edgeworth Investigations? When it was announced I freaked out and preordered it, I’ve been playing it whenever I can and I fan girl whenever I hear his voice lines!!
YUSS Ace Attorney fans unite!! I relate so much to going broke at anime conventions I haven't played Miles Edgeworth Investigations yet, would you recommend??
Most people say the 1st investigations is a little lack luster and the 2nd one is better. So far I’m only on the 2nd case of the first game but so far I really love it. You get your classic edgeworth moments literally dissing people with the upmost formality and new wacky characters. (But some are from made up countries you might recognize since you played AAAJ). In my opinion you should definitely play it (Theres a demo if you wanna try it!). From the sprites animations to the lovable characters you recognize ( petition to give gumshoe a raise) it’s a great Ace Attorney game that deserves the recognition!
So happy I stumbled across your video!! It's so entertaining and I loved your stories. Your art looks so nice as well!! I hope you get to go to more cons and have more fun in the future!
