I don't know if this is considered awkward but I found it interesting:

At a con last year I was Cosplaying Syaoran (Tsubasa Chronicles) and I was in character. I came across a Princess Serenity Cosplayer (Sailor Moon) and asked her in character if she saw Princess Sakura. She responded in character that my princess was in another kingdom. I was crushed crying .

Oh, I like the proposing reply's. I was at Star Trek Cons in the past where people proposed to each other.

I think that's amusing...could be partially because I'm a Princess Sakura cosplayer myself and I can never find Syaoran. The cons I go to need a larger Tsubasa fan-base, it's quite sad actually.


I have gone to both Youmacon and Jafax conventions (Both in Michigan) and have yet to see any other Tsubasa Cosplayers. It would be nice to see some. What cons have you Cosplayed Sakura at?

I usually go to Anime Boston so I'm a little far from you. We actually have a few Fais and Sakuras but I've only seen one Kurogane and NEVER a Syaoran. None of my friends read or watch Tsubasa so I can't really bug them to cosplay it with me either. But I plan on doing various outfits from the art book and series over the next few years.

When I was in the bathroom at Anime Boston this year there was a guy cosplaying as Sakura from CardCaptor Sakura (the pink and black kitty outfit) and he asked one of my friends if they knew who he was. Now mind you this was guy in the girls room.
about half a minute later he asked if his tail was ok and wanted me to help him fix it. sweatdrop

no it is not weird, some people just don't like hugs some just have other reasons, as I am sure you probably have your reasons.
Personally I don't mind random hugs as long as a person ask me before hand, I personally never ask for them never have probably never will. I have had an experience where my cosplay tore from hugs and people playing with the tail and such but I did not mind.

XD Strange things do happen at Tekko!

I was on staff there this year and somehow gained an admirer by doing so. Seriously! Sunday morning I got told by this guy (while I was on duty) that his friend drunkenly confessed that he never thought he'd see me again and told him to give me his business card.

Here's the kicker... I don't know if I actually met my admirer.

Working on staff there is always interesting things you catch. I know I've been hit on multiple times, and gone into evade mode on a few... they were awkward but to hard to describe (it was more of a awkward con conversation).

its not super weird i was just super awkward...
i've had a few i think..
but...
i'll just say a few..
~
My sisters and i went to an anime convention in 2009 ( our first ) we were totally nervous about going cause ( omg! anime convention NERDS OMG ) but we have been going for every year since :> we really love it

ANYWAYS last day we decided to be KAWAII. I KNOW RIGHT>>>??
anyways some gangly kid comes over to me and my other sister "G" and says " omg, can i take a picture of your sister "H"....? i LOVE girls in skirts... "

BTW H is deaf... and im sure she was like " WTF "

idk we were convention noobs :"> JK we did at least months of research before going ;>
~
2ND one:
it was at GENCON 2009? i was 16 and just gotten out of a gaia panel (IKR i got inari's beasds i was pretty stoked )

i walk out and this guy stops me and says " uhm...we didn't talk but i was wondering if i could have your number..."

me being totally oblivious says " uh....mm...why? "

He then asks me how i am and i say " 16... "

HIS FACE WAS PRICELESS ( he was 21 ) dramallama
anyways, i got his gaia.and he ended up being really weird and creepy :<

3rd one

Gencon 2011...
TOTALLY WEARING SUPER CUTE OUTFIT OMGGGGG

older guy comes up to me and is like " omg you are so anime can i take a picture??? "

i personally don't enjoy having pictures taken of me when im NOT in COSPLAY..it really bothers me...but he didn't care and probably captured a picture of a frazzled girl trying to say " no " assertively

uhm...
maybe those aren't TOTALLY weird...they were just awkward moments for me...

I was browsing the dealer's room once as Sasuke, and one of the dealers (I think from the Yaoi booth) asked if I wanted to be smacked by a Yaoi paddle. I agreed.
