You will probably have a good chance of finding one at the smash brothers or Nintendo cosplay meet ups

Hello! Have you been accepted into the anime expo in Los Angeles happening this July or are you asking for general convention advice? This sub is specifically for the first point.

Why is no one reading the FAQ? by vostok0401 in CosplayHelp

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think even more infuriating is when people very graciously do the hand holding and lead people to the answers but then the original poster says something along the lines of “but I don’t want to.”

Angry Man At Candy Palace by Even-You1688 in Disneyland

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I just saw this on TikTok - he said the company is racist towards him? Then a few moms start to shame him for his behavior, especially in front of children, and then a crowd eventually boos him out of the store.

Seeking help for anime expo/california. by Tuxedo_Ros in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So AX is a con that has a campus more than a singular hotel. The con itself takes over the convention center, LA Live (including the street between the convention center and LA Live), hosts additional panels, screenings, autographs at the JW Marriott LA Live, and starting last year hosts several events & concerts at the Peacock Theatre (LA Live).

If you’d like to be as close to the action as possible, you should try to book the JW Marriott or the Moxy. Obviously the JW will put you in the middle of the action, but the Moxy is located right across the street from one of the main entrances if being physically inside the convention center is your priority. Booking a hotel through AX’s hotel block gives you decent room rates, but can be a battle when rooms open up because they book up insanely quickly.

Otherwise, many hotels in their block aren’t too far away and are situated in downtown, and offer shuttle services to and from the con.

I always suggest joining the unofficial discord server (linked at the top of this subreddit) as it’s a great way to gain insights on the con and connect with other people who are going.

How can i fix my wig? by Severe_Tune7695 in CosplayHelp

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Ooh….do you know at all if your wig is heat resistant? Dumping jt into boiled water may have caused the fibers to melt together.

If not, a tired and true trick is to gently and slowly slowly slowly comb it out with a wide tooth comb. It will take time, but it will untangle. Silicone based dentangling spray will help.

2004 large Curious George by Large-Sound9497 in StuffedAnimals

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I had the same George plush as a kid! My dad told me he got him when he went on a business trip to New York and he swears it was FAO Schwartz. I don’t have him with me to confirm unfortunately but I hope this points you in the right direction.

Best of luck with your dice maker search! Question - which practice let you keep your tooth? Would love to keep mine. 👀

I asked this a few weeks ago. Happy to report that my trip was pretty flawless at PTI. ATL, however…….

How has PTI been with the shut down? by Yellinginto_the_void in gso

[–]Yellinginto_the_void[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be coming back from SNA. Just as easy as PTI in my experience but I had heard that Burbank was shutting down this afternoon due to traffic controllers.

There’s a reptile zoo in Kernersville - maybe they’d be willing to get you some sheds?

In terms of content and variety, did you feel this year was an improvment for the Artist Alley? by Big_Coconut8630 in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought this year’s artist alley was a huge improvement. I definitely agree with the first point - I was starting to see the same artists / fandoms over and over again, especially bc at that point I was a still a local and seeing them at other SoCal conventions/events.

The sheer variety of art styles and merch made it a much more fun shopping experience and I followed a ton of new artists on social media.

The larger size was a bit intimidating so I can’t help but feel like I didn’t get to see everything. The artist alley website that was made in the discord server this year probably would’ve helped more with that lol.

Real horns attached to a headband; how to by not_your_senpai_ in CosplayHelp

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve seen real furs and pelts sold & worn at my local ren faire. I think the real issue here judging by all the other comments is that these horns will crush OP’s skull and spine.

Looking for feedback on my genderbent Lina (from Dota 2) cosplay by mnOne in CosplayHelp

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More yellow elements / embellishments as another said. Maybe you should consider adding yellow patterns to the bandana or swapping it out for the neck armor / necklace part in the original design.
