What are the common Homestuck convention horror stories?

One horror story was the overcrowding. There were so many people at the Homestuck convention that it was difficult to move around. Lines for panels and autographs were insanely long. It felt like you could barely breathe in the packed hallways. And the noise level was overwhelming, making it hard to have a normal conversation with fellow fans.

One more common horror story is dealing with the accessories. Homestuck cosplays often have a lot of small and detailed accessories. A cosplayer could lose one of these important accessories right before or during the event. It might be a small charm or a unique piece that really completes the look. Without it, the cosplay just doesn't seem right and the cosplayer is left feeling disappointed and a bit self - conscious.

The overzealous theory - fans are also a common type. They can be so pushy with their ideas that it scares off others who just want to enjoy the fandom casually.

One horror story could be about a guest finding a rat in their room. They were just settling in when they saw it scurrying across the floor. It was so disgusting and made them feel very uncomfortable. They immediately asked to change rooms.

There was a time when the air conditioning broke at an anime convention. It was in the middle of summer, and everyone was sweating buckets in their cosplay costumes. The smell was horrible, and it made the whole experience really uncomfortable. Some people even fainted from the heat. Cosplayers had their makeup running, and it was just a mess.

One horror story is when a cosplayer's expensive and carefully made costume got ruined by someone accidentally spilling a drink on it at the convention. The cosplayer had spent months on it, and it was a real heartbreak.

There was a case where a cosplayer had a very expensive prop weapon as part of their costume. The security at the anime convention didn't properly check the prop when the cosplayer entered. Later, during the con, another attendee accidentally bumped into the cosplayer and got hurt by the prop. There was a lot of chaos and the cosplayer was blamed, but it was also the security's fault for not ensuring the prop was safe.

One horror story could be about a cosplayer who spent months making an elaborate Homestuck cosplay. At the convention, someone accidentally spilled a huge drink on it. All that hard work ruined in an instant. It was a nightmare for the cosplayer as they had put so much time, money and effort into it.

One horror story could be about a really intense shipping war within the Homestuck fandom. Fans of different ships were so aggressive towards each other that it created a really toxic environment. People were sending mean messages and threats just because of their preferred character pairings.

There are cases where a new player joins the Homestuck RP and seems normal at first. But as the RP progresses, they start to introduce really disturbing and inappropriate themes that no one was expecting. This can range from really dark and gory descriptions to ideas that are just not in line with the general tone of the Homestuck universe. It makes the other players uncomfortable and can turn the RP into a horror - like situation as they try to deal with this unexpected and unwanted change.
