Con-going Cosplay Hacks

- Check out of your hotel early Most hotels accept cash payment at any point during your stay. If you are splitting up the payment of your room, head down to the front desk as soon as you have everyone’s share of the money. They will still hold the credit card for any extra incidentals, but this way you don’t have to wait in a long line at the end of your con stay to check out.

- Put bandaids on the back of your uncomfortable shoes You’re wearing a shoe that cuts into your heel, something you only notice after walking around the con for two hours. If you happen to be wearing tights, you can place a fabric bandaid into the heel of the shoe itself and have it be just as effective. This way you won’t have to remove your tights to get the bandaid on your skin!

- BRING FABREEZE AND SHOUT WIPES/TIDE PENS Someone in your group is going to stain their costume. It’s 100% guaranteed to happen. Whether it’s from food, drink, or smudged makeup, Shout Wipes or Tide Pens will save you from the stress of now having a stained costume.

Also, Fabreeze. It will make you feel better about wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row (not just cosplay!), AND it is a good idea to spray your cosplay down before packing it back up for the trip back home.

- Bag up what you can of your cosplays Buy the galleon storage bags for your trip and squeeze what you can of each cosplay into the bag. Label the bags as needed (ex: McCree 1 of 2). This way you have everything you need for that cosplay together in one place, thus saving yourself from tearing apart your entire suitcase every time you want to change cosplays. If parts of your costume don’t fit into bags, that’s okay! At least they’re big enough not to lose track of. Or you can upgrade from a storage bag to trash bags!

Cosplay Tips: Repair Kits!

Let’s face it, at one point in time you’ve experienced a wardrobe malfunction and needed a quick fix. When you’re at a con, your cosplay is subject to lots of abuse at times! Heat, pushy crowds, drunkeness (lol), food accidents, etc. Stuff happens. So here is one way to be one step ahead!

Bring a repair kit with things you may need to permanently or temporarily fix your cosplay. Here are some ideas on what to bring:

A small sewing kit containing thread that matches each of your costumes and a needle or two.

Safety pins are great to have with you when you aren’t in the hotel room in case something pops that needs to be temporarily held!

A small first aid kit with some form of pain killer, band-aids, and hand sanitizer. (Band-aids come in really handy for blisters on your feet!)

Try to bring extra supplies. Hair nets, bobby pins, clips, things of that sort. Small things are easy to lose! This also goes for pieces of your costume that could potentially fall off, like rhinestones or small pieces of trim. Bring extra and the tools you need to reapply those!

Super glue. Just bring it, you’ll use it. Haha. Or a hot glue gun!

Scissors are handy too

Addition: I forgot to add bring a bleach pen or wipes for your clothes in case you spill food or something!

These are just a few things that can make a really big difference when something goes awry! Keep this kit in your hotel room or nearby in your car and everything should be a-okay!

Happy cosplaying!

WHAT IF

but what if every single person in the undertale fandom woke up in undertale. like we all just ended up on the start menu and everyone had the chance to do a pacifist, neutral, or genocide run and we all just split up into 3 groups and went on the adventure in our groups.

and then when we get to a boss we all work together to fight and oh my god would that be perfect or what.

but whenever you get game over in game you wake up back in the real world but you still have whatever you got in the game. like you wake up in the real world with a spider donut and a stick.

but wait.

you also wake up with whoevers phone number you get. so, you can always call them in the real world.

also.

if you end up beating the game, when you reset, it starts your game over. you can keep playing the game, with whoever survives, as long as you don’t die.

nobody in the fandom knows how anybody got there.

but you all love it.
