Anyways…

Another question for yall, not as deep or stupid this time around. Have you ever been to a Con before? What was it like? Any advice to those going to their first Con and not knowing what to expect?

I've been to two cons, one was Madison Comic Con (which was tiny) and the other was Star Wars Celebration. I didn't dress up for either of them though.
If it's a big con like Celebration was, definitely prepare a bag ahead of time! Look for information on what to bring with you, and make sure there's locations nearby that you can go to if you need a break, or get there way too early. Also look into if they have any sort of codes in place about what rights you have as a cosplayer/any rules or restrictions.

Yeah, the Con I'm planning on attending this year is the Sundial Bridge Comic Con (kinda small). I was considering going to SacAnime but it's a ways away and no place to stay with friends over the night (a group I know is going but I don't want to intrude).

Good idea. I'll definitely check up on that more when it gets closer to the date.

Celebration had a lot of rules on what you couldn't include on your costume, but also had a lot of anti-harassment rules and policies to protect cosplayers, it was a good balance.

Well it's good they were able to find that good balance between restriction and protection

I have question. So, I too am relatively new to the Cosplay community and I want to do a Bettlejuice cosplay (My girlfriend is Lydia) And I wigs hurt my head and I won't dye it. Is there any really good, temporary "Hair dye" Or spray out there?

There are some good colored hair sprays, in fact most of them work really well, but I’m definitely not an expert in them so I’d get a second opinion.

Yeah, I'd go with colored hairspray with that. Usually comes out after one wash but it's been so long since I've used it that I've forgotten the brand

There's a few you can use. Arctic Fox, for example.
There are also gels, which I prefer. Manic Panic, Punky.
You don't have to bleach your hair, but the color won't be as vibrant with the gels.

Noted. Thank you

Aight so I've been watching Cells at Work and just
As soon as I laid my eyes on her

Yee, I'm accidentally lucky like that

But also mood

Ahh yes, lack of money. The most unfortunate thing ever.

I've just got one coat that I use for everything lol. So far it's been Tonks, General Hux, and Victor Frankenstein, and I've got plans to do Tina Goldstein (in her dark coat from Crimes of Grindelwald) and Lila Bard eventually!

That's awesome! kinda jelly of the coat

It's a nice coat. I think I got it at a thrift store?

thrift stores are the best for cosplay costumes and cool stuff

ikr?

I went to a con as Todoroki and got surrounded by mha cosplayers singing the All Star parody but anyway how are y’all

That sounds like a riot. Was it Katsucon or something else?

I'm alright today. I'm going to have to power through three cosplays to record enough video for the upcoming week (Frisk, Chara, and Uraraka).

It was Brazcon and that sounds like fun even though you have to do it fast.

Brazcon? That sounds cool!
Yes, it was fun and I was very exhausted afterward.

I got a bit of a surprise this morning. Uh… my cosplay senpai followed me back?! And commented on one of my posts saying it was perfection?! How am I supposed to react to that without SCREECHING LIKE A PTERODACTYL?!?!?!
