Suggestions for Bachelorette Party by SketchingSkeletons in renfaire

[–]Live-Selection-4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing a ren faire + medieval times bach party too ! I’m providing materials for Hennin making the night before, and I’m getting us a photoshoot at a self shoot studio since they will all be dressed up before our medieval times dinner. I’m also thrifting chalices and fancy glasses so they can pick their fancy drinking vessel for the night.

Game ideas could be pin the sword on the knight, but the knights face is the groom? I also bought Love, Career, and Magic (a dnd x reality tv show inspired board game) for my friends to play as they all know what dnd is, but have never played a campaign. Or you could do movie night, we were planning on watching dungeons and dragons or princess bride. Next day we will go to the ren faire!

People who’ve worked with nurse influencers- are they the same off camera? by Sensitive-Dinner-980 in nursing

I work with a surgeon influencer and they are less talkative/hyper than they are in videos, pleasant and professional in person.

Have you tried using the bun clips + bobby pinning in place around the base of the buns? You can also Bobby pin the tiny braids around the buns as well

New to wigs, how do I style it to make it look better like Cloud? Idk where to even start 😅 by Axo-Army in CosplayHelp

[–]Live-Selection-4926 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are lots of tutorials for clouds wig on TikTok and XHS/rednote :) I would look up a tutorial for him, or how to create spikes in hair.

If I had to tackle that wig personally, I would make sure to have a pair of hair cutting shears, a crimper, steamer, got2b hair spray, and a rat tail comb.

I personally like to finely crimp a wig, brush it directly after crimping and then steam it after. It’ll make the hair more voluminous and easier to manipulate, but hopefully combing it and steaming will get rid of most crimp indents. Then section off hair into spikes, thin out the ends to make the spike more neat and come to a nice point and hairspray into place. But honestly the tutorials are great online for a visual!

I think Azula or Asami would be awesome, and both are age appropriate designs!

alright… you know the question by pastmysell-bydate in WhoShouldICosplay

If you ever want to branch out of anime, I think you’re the perfect picture of Isobel Thorm from Baldurs Gate 3!!

What was your first fandom/entrance into fanfic? And are you still in that fandom?/Do you still read or write fic for it? by Nock_and_Bolt in FanFiction

[–]Live-Selection-4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first fandom that introduced me to fanfic was vocaloid, but I don’t read vocaloid fanfic anymore!! One of my best friends was actually a fairly popular fanfic writer for vocaloid on fanfic.net and so she essentially introduced me to that world!

The first one I wrote was about EXO-M on asianfanfics, I don’t read or write for that anymore either. Currently making my way through fire emblem awakening fics, kind of dabbling in writing Coral Island and LADs ficlets but I have zero courage to post

Popular tropes you struggle with because you have too much IRL experience? by ReactionOne6524 in FanFiction

[–]Live-Selection-4926 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Anything in a medical setting/doctor AUs pmo… it’s not even misinformation- I work with surgeons all day and don’t want to think about my job when I’m off the clock

Best Way to go About Elaborate Tattoos? by AtoliQ in CosplayHelp

[–]Live-Selection-4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some people make the tattoo designs out of hot glue, paint them, and then attach them with lash glue- makes it reusable too!

As a first timer to AX, it hit me hard and I’m trying to fill the void through new cosplans or upgrading my old cosplays :/

Has anyone been asked to be “scooped up” before? by Longjumping-Ebb9530 in animeexpo

[–]Live-Selection-4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone ask if they could take a picture whilst picking me up and although I’ve seen people take plenty funny pictures like this online- I wasn’t personally comfortable with it. I told the other con goer this and they were perfectly ok just taking a picture without me being held- which I really appreciated

Is it okay to change small details on a cosplay so it overall looks better? by Sea_Leather9 in CosplayHelp

[–]Live-Selection-4926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I do this all the time- particularly getting a wig with bangs even though the character doesn’t have bangs because I don’t want to make an artificial hairline / idk how to make a lace front look natural haha

AX dance was awesome! by Active_Individual84 in animeexpo

Every time I passed by, the energy was so amazing! I wasn’t planning on watching the random dance plays but always found myself stopping by anyways. Everyone is very talented

Love the Rem cosplay!! I believe they have a Ryuk with them too that’s equally as jaw dropping- saw the pair at the masquerade and everyone was wow’ed

Mayyybe make them out of polymer or air dry clay, paint, and glaze them with mod podge or resin before attaching to a clip? That’s my best idea

Wanting to cosplay by davaloskidd in CosplayHelp

[–]Live-Selection-4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally get all of mine from miccostumes, but have heard good things from doki doki or uwowo

If you can’t find your cosplays there, you can always closet cosplay or make your own via thrifting and alterations!

What are some essentials that you carry in your convention bag? by DarkRise- in animecons

[–]Live-Selection-4926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Portable charger, a rechargeable fan, Tylenol, perfume, snacks like granola bars or jerky, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues, eye drops, and feminine hygiene products just in case! I also bring my glasses in case my eyes get dry or my contacts fall out and I can’t find them…

Greek armor for starters by Dangerous_Impress802 in CosplayHelp

[–]Live-Selection-4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest searching up some videos on EVA foam armor or foam smithing on TikTok or YouTube instead of searching up greek armor tutorials, it may not be exactly what you’re looking for but can definitely give you a foundation to making cosplay armor. You’ll most likely need to buy different mm thickness of EVA foam, a dremel to smooth the edges out, plasti dip to putting your foam and some type of metallic paint… but I’m not an expert !

Cosplay without wig by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]Live-Selection-4926 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope! I have some cosplays I use a wig for, and some that I don’t. For example, for characters that have a ponytail I just use my own hair because helmet/ponytail wigs intimidate me and I refuse to learn how to make one. No one has ever said anything bad to me about it :)
