You know you're a cosplayer when you start thinking of buying a new wardrobe just to shove your cosplays in.

When you plan your bithday and Xmas presents list by checking your sewing kit to see what refills you need, then your to-do list to see if you need anything that someone would buy you, then think seriously about asking for fabric vouchers.

when you will do ANYTHING (literally srsly) just to continue to cosplay even when your parents dont approve

this includes moving out and flatting

....you realise in your Japan trip budget, you have more money set aside for cosplay than food and anime altogether. Oh my god.... and here I was thinking I was going for the food....

By PIe. 07/12/09, 06:00 am

You hear your parents are giving you $800, you immediately decide you're using all that money for your next years cosplays because you can't see anything else that's logical to spend it on and are really glad because you had no idea how you were going to cover the costs without it

everyones giving me ideas to ask my parents to pay for my wigs for christmas~~~~~~~~~

because changing your hair colour/shape etc is a pain in the wallet.

Was thinking I need a house, so I can have an extra room, for said wardrobe, wig shelfs, cutting table, and sewing table.

But who am I kidding, with the amount I spend on cosplay, and other things, I will never have a house. Hey I only need to save another $40,000. And by the time I do that it will be more.

When you say your spending money on clothes.. for next years contest LOL.

I done that and boy was mum mad LOL

By _Yuki. 07/12/09, 04:02 pm

Actually, let me change that.

When you've planned your entire budget so that you will skimp out on food etc for a couple of days so that you can buy more cosplay supplies. Must take weight of suitcase into account. Bring less clothes. You can just wear Clannad cosplay to the school visits etc.

By Father Nightroad. 08/12/09, 01:11 am

Well that is pretty practical but they will probably laugh at you for being otaku LOL

When your laptop is dying but buying a replacment one would mean you couldn't go to an armageddon due to cost, you pick going to geddon

By Father Nightroad. 08/12/09, 04:32 am

NEVER!!!! Computers are meant to be next to worshipped!!!! Plus if you got mates you can get the battery for next to nothing and go to geddon

By PIe. 08/12/09, 04:37 am

Battery? it's the entire laptop that's dying and I really cant afford a decent new laptop if I don't want to choose between Auck and Welly

By Father Nightroad. 08/12/09, 04:45 am

Whats the difference?

By PIe. 08/12/09, 04:52 am

Difference between geddons? location, people, more chances to wear costumes etc

By Father Nightroad. 08/12/09, 04:54 am

I only ever go to the Auckland event..... saves money and I generally have something I want from a seller that was there last year so it doesn't matter for me. You is wasting your money man. Just get you new laptop if you really need it and go to the closest event. Save you heaps

By PIe. 08/12/09, 05:01 am

Nope, going to both NI Geddons and figuring out what to do once my laptop actually dies is more important, if there were any cosplay related events anywhere near me it would be easier but I like being around people, being in costume and making costumes so cosplay>new laptop for me

By Father Nightroad. 08/12/09, 05:03 am

Ok.... whatevs. Just tryna help you save for that next cosplay

Just for future reference guys, please take one on one convos to PMs - it's off topic and spams the thread for those who actually want to read on-topic.

You know you're a cosplayer when you come across a panty shot of a character and your first thought is one of joy because now you can make your costume that much more accurate as you know what her underwear looks like.

By TinTango. 08/12/09, 01:43 pm

YKYACW.... normal clothes shopping just doesn't do it for you anymore. No... you need the bright materials, or the ones that match your fav character, that you always wanted to play!
