Yes, I've heard of cosplayers having their wigs fall off in the middle of a busy convention area. It can be really embarrassing as it might be a key part of their cosplay. They suddenly go from looking like their character to having a very strange appearance.
There are times when cosplayers face harassment at these conventions. For example, some people might take inappropriate pictures without permission or make rude comments about the cosplay or the person wearing it. This can make the cosplayer feel really uncomfortable and unsafe in what should be a fun environment.
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.
These stories in cosplay conventions are important for the visibility of the lesbian community. When cosplayers act out these stories, they make it more real and tangible for the audience. It can also encourage more young people who identify as lesbian to get involved in cosplay, feeling that there is a place for them and their stories in this community.
In many cosplay conventions, there is a growing representation of diverse relationships in the stories that cosplayers bring to life. Lesbian relationships can be part of these narratives. For example, some cosplay groups might choose to depict characters from certain anime or video games that have lesbian relationships. This not only adds to the diversity of the cosplay community but also helps in promoting acceptance of different sexual orientations within the fandom.
One horror story was when I was at an anime convention and the line for a popular autograph session was so long. People were pushing and shoving. Some even tried to cut in line. It was chaos and I almost got crushed. I felt really scared and frustrated.
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.
Yes, there are many. For example, there are stories about cosplayers who met their long - time idols at the convention. They got to take pictures together and exchange some valuable tips on costume - making. Another story could be about a group of cosplayers who formed a new friendship during a cosplay competition at the convention and they have been collaborating on cosplay projects ever since.
A common one is overcrowding. You can't move around easily and it gets really hot. Another is when vendors run out of popular items early. For example, a limited - edition anime figure that you've been waiting to buy.
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.
