[@kianas2680]

this is really true

[@nikkismiley494]

UGH ME

[@starxela]

Me at my first con

[@deceasedcosplays1900]

this is my friend xD

[@Grrimbark]

A helpful but weird thing: sew pockets on the side of your boxers/underwear for your phone and important information. Its hard to get to if someone wants to rob you, and its helpful when you don't have any other pockets. I do this at every convention and I have yet to loose anything.

[@Hunter-vm1or]

holie shit I'm doing this

[@gavm7075]

Ahh the little hair clips. I don't know how many you guys bring to con, but I've since moved from the cardboard piece and have recycled tic tac containers to sort through mine via color! :) it's helpful keeping them off the floor, but this is a very informative video! Loved it! xoxo

[@DizzyJade236]

This video is actually really helpful my friend are going to a con for the entire weekend the first time and staying in the hotel room and I wasn't sure of things that would be helpful to bring so I was a little nervous and watching this video helped my nerves, I love you guys so much you are really sweet and awesome you have helped me through my depression and I just really love you guys, I must say if it wasn't for you guys suggesting a list I would have probably forgotten a few things I needed I usually like to go to con prepared thank you so much again!

[@jadispaul5020]

you guys are so nice and kind and when I'm feeling sad I watch one of your videos you guys make me so happy 😃

[@madison3157]

This is perfect timing, i'm going to A-Kon Dallas this weekend, and this is really helpful

[@picklesandcream13]

Thank you guys so much!! I am going to my second con ever in July. I absolutely had no idea how to pack and what, but I had a form of idea, and this helped so much!! I am going to KuroNekoCon in Spokane, WA. I am so excited!!!!!

[@rockon157789]

This is super helpful and awesome! Thank you!!

[@galaxmousey7403]

AHHHHH this is extremely helpful!!! I'm kinda of studying and gathering up all the knowledge I can on con prep other than getting your cosplay together so stuff like this really helps. I appreciate your advice soooo much. Love your videos!!!

[@CottonKaityHead]

This is actually really helpful to me because this weekend (June 5th and June 6th) I will going to my very first Comic Con and I will also be cosplaying during both days that I'll be there. Even though I'm not staying the night at a hotel and have to do a 2 hour drive there and back so thanks for helping out other Cosplayers whether they are new or not. I love all the videos you guys make and I can't wait to see more of them!

[@darkflamecosplay9508]

Good luck! I'm going to my 3rd and I'm already panicking.

[@CottonKaityHead]

+Dark Flame Cosplay I had a blast. Saw a bunch of awesome artists, got their cards even, I saw a ton of great cosplays, met my very own Dave for my Karkat cosplay (even though I cosplayed as Yukio from Blue Exorcist and America from Hetalia) and a lot of people loved taking pictures of my cosplay (the America one) and my friend Jordan who was wearing a maid cosplay (Jordan is a guy btw). I even got a wall scroll for my bedroom and I can't wait for the next one near me in November. Gonna up my cosplay skills!

[@slowpokegamer4919]

That Nic Cage thing... 😂 You guys are awesome 😄 💚

[@madartyst2124]

God bless you two. I have my first con coming up and I'm freaking a lil bit.

[@RandomPopcultureNewsFreak]

OMG its funny because that video you guys did with that small demonstration that KE did with the dollar store haul .i was literately thinking and hoping that you guys would do an entire separate video on how toos and pro-tips for cosplayers video!the help is so going to help me out a lot next month july when i go out to this small con right around the time SDCC aka San Diego Comicon ouy in califormnia starts up but its in palmdale lol its a smaller gaming convention starting up next month So now i can be prepared!=Dyou guys should do this more oftehn but its cool if you do other sorts of content too lolz

[@cheysplace6]

Thank you so much this video was so helpful !!

[@giveyouthesun5220]

I watch this before every con, even though I've watched it so many times it's always good to refresh my memory!!!

[@maryjohlavanish1783]

This is so helpful thank you guys so much in going to my first ever con soon and I was really nervous trying to figure out what to bring but this helps so much and calms so many nerves I love you guys thank you :)

[@TheMighty_Quinn]

Since haven't watched any of your videos for a while, I was surprised by the sound of KW's voice. XD I LOVE HOW DEEP IT GOT!!!

[@The9yoshi9]

I'm going to a convention this weekend so this was super helpful! And hilarious haha you guys are great! :D

[@mercuryMayhem]

I can't help but hear Tavros- Especially when he said: I have slept on the bread and I have been in trouble many times-

[@AddriBlack]

If you are worried about losing your charger/not finding a plugin, you can always get a portable charger with a spare cable. That way you can carry it so you always have a way to charge your phone, and it won't be stolen/lost because you can leave it in your bag while charging. You can also stay mobile the entire time. They're around $20 at my local gas station, so I'm assuming they can be bought elsewhere cheaper.

[@anerd285]

this is very helpful thank you!

[@crystalqueen3601]

Thank you this has been helpful.

[@olliespillers3952]

y'all two are a couple of angels tbh

[@natashamorang1451]

love KE's new hair color

[@tillmancat]

Um sending this to my friends who are going to a con soon! Unfortunately I can't go, but I will be their con mom ahead of time! And make sure they pack everything! My children will be prepared!!!! Love, Mayo mom

[@shelbylynn7319]

The little commentary is awesome

[@cyberspiritcosplay625]

Can KE be my con mom? Cause she is like the best con mom ever 😂

[@creepynoodle4626]

Yeah KE would be a really good con mom! Can you be my con mom too? :0)

[@animelovingchild]

I'll keep a few of these ideas in my head for when my friend and I go to Sausomecon on the 11th, whatever other cons that we go to in the future. I've actually done a few of the things you've talked about in the past. Although the normal clothes thing, I usually wear my normal clothes to the con and change once i'm in the room.

[@memesteam4240]

You guys should go to ACEN (Anime Central) in Chicago next year!

[@OtakuMagicMusicGamer]

all these videos are doing is reminding me i have a con..../good grief its next week already holy shrimp/ OxO sO yea it's next week and i'm not ready! and it's at a new venue and i'm kinda nervous abt that. but this is very helpful since as a group we are starting to pack and wrap up. Best of luck guys! get plenty of sleep beforehand!!!!!

[@hernandezsonia849]

I'll actually be attending Akon this week. I hope to see you both at the con! I'm so pumped!

[@pringlebingle]

I'm going to akon also

[@skyedeleon5343]

The big convention I go to every year actually has a cosplay repair station somewhere. I've never seen it, but it was on the map.

[@dipperpines8688]

are you going to the con in Eugene? I am going and i'd love to meet you guys at a con cause y'all are so awesome!!!!!

[@voidedmuffin]

super helpful even though i wont be going to con anytime soon lol

[@Aki-Pasquiorra]

Everyone always tells me im crazy for making lists, but it's so helpfull :3

[@chriscaptor3777]

I haven't been to a con yet because I've been kind of nervous so this will be helpful in the future.

[@aceypacey4446]

I would bring straws for when you're covered in some sort of facepaint or makeup. Plus during boring times make straw sculptures!

[@littleststarlit1658]

this is really good advice! my friend and I were heading to a HS photoshoot and I was drinking faygo as Gamzee and they just pull a straw outta nowhere and let me use it to drink the faygo.

[@aceypacey4446]

+Baking Cosplayer its definantly a life saver

[@littleststarlit1658]

+Acey Pacey it really is, even if you aren't in snazaroo, it can help save your clothes from the soda as well.

[@aceypacey4446]

+Baking Cosplayer Yes, plus theres tons of cool designs of straws

[@MsCheapchick]

1 thing am I the only one that thought KE looking hotter then normal and KW super cute , that hairstyle working, also very helpful, I honestly never thought of packing food but that would be so much better especially with picky eaters, also I love that you take into keeping the hotel clean, I can't stand leaving the room a mess just because I have worked in cleaning before

[@cosmocollier7352]

My friends and I are going to con and I just made a huge guide on what to bring to con and how to prepare I think they will like it

[@yoshig5278]

12:29 **Tamaki voice** "That's my teddy bear!" TT^TT

[@ghostlyhonks]

I'm actually going to Tatsu-Con in about 13 days (July 29-31), so this helps. I'm going to be staying at my grandma's place, so I don't NEED to bring all the stuff you guys do for cleaning up after yourself so the hotel maids don't have to, but I will anyway. Gotta be nice for the lady who's paying for me. :3

[@notsohuman40]

I'm going to con in 2 weeks and this is extremely helpful cause this is gonna be my second con

[@destinyallen09]

Might I ask what con and where? As I haven't heard of any cons

[@notsohuman40]

+Trickster Jane anime mid atlantic. It's near Virginia beach. It's June 17-19th

[@destinyallen09]

Not So Human Tyvm i wanted to know as im in North carolina and there arent many homestuckers here that i know of,plus i know no one into homestuck currently. so ty, cx

[@notsohuman40]

+Trickster Jane oh my gosh I know those feels so hard. The one other person I know into cosplay is my moirail and he doesn't cosplay so around here it's just me :'(

[@destinyallen09]

Not So Human i cosplay as female lil cal, im planning on being female dave at a con sometime haha

[@thestaralchemistanimelover2164]

Just in time!! Colossal Con is only a few days away, and I had no idea what to pack or how to pack (per usual. I'm so disorganized). So this was really helpful!

[@littleststarlit1658]

showering once a day is very important, I went to KawaKon this year and the Friday night we went swimming, but I had to get out to go to dinner with a few friends and I needed to get into cosplay quick, so I didn't get a shower. my hair got very yuck in the time being and all curly and bad looking. it was also a pain to brush out once I did.

[@conradowens7300]

I was wondering if any of you would be working on an Undertale cosplay soon?

[@IzumiHanjinozuka]

My best friend/cosplay partner and I have a document we edit regarding things like con costs and distance, overnight items, food, camera, what cosplays we'll do at which cons, etc.

[@33Emi33]

12:00 you guys are too fricken cute!! but yes! i have been thqt person that con-stress through off my cycle and this really sweet cosplayer gave me some and i was so thankful i cried and also, what is a rave? i hear about them all the time but i never get a straight answer only things like "really cool!" "i love them but you wouldn't "

[@conradowens7300]

I might be a bit off, as I have never been to one but, it's a pumped up dance party with strobe lights and glow sticks with what I would imagine more pumped dance music like techno maybe?? That's my take of it at least. Sorry if this is off! Please correct me if I'm wrong!

[@lilylong2015]

Try googling a rave, more importantly, some fandom meetups have races for that certain fandom. Just look up a fandom you're in rave, so I would type in; Homestuck Cosplay Rave. Hope this was helpful.

[@Grrimbark]

A rave is a dimly lit room with flashing lights, and either techno or dubstep blasting full volume through giant speakers. Most of the time, they purposely increase the bass to give it more of a 'heart thumping effect.'. Glowsticks are common, but they are mostly used for decoration. Think of a rave as a loud dance off with glowsticks and sweaty people everywhere.

[@33Emi33]

+SkytheSecretNinja that sounds more unpleasent than anything tbh

[@Grrimbark]

I'm a naturally pessimistic person so I apologize for my negatively connotated words.

[@dragonmuse5336]

Hey, are you guys going to Anime Expo this year?

[@sophirose508]

[@Chimchimsugar]

[@ThisGirlGot2game]

[@kankriapproves]

[@MISTER_R0B0T0]

[@Hunter-vm1or]

[@3raurbxspookin]

My first Anime Boston I made the mistake of buying food at the con I got a Cheeseburger a Hotdog and a Monster...all that was 21.50

[@Alex.Void13]

I'm a paranoid person so I always have a plethora of things to fix any cosplay problem. There's been a couple of times where I've helped people I don't even know fix their cosplay.

[@weewoo7776]

I cut my hair recently and it's to my shoulders should I use a long haired wig cap or a short haired wig cap please let me know

[@oofouchyikes1930]

you forgot the most important thing gum

[@jesscullen8119]

*sudden realisation that I need white Kirby grips* thank god this video

[@dazedcreations9453]

I will definitely make a list the next time I go to a con. Last con I kept forgetting to bring the cigarette for my bestfriend that was cosplaying Cronus. Luckily he didn't mind.

[@loveu435]

What con are y'all going to??

[@kaskydeathspawned4912]

[@gracem363]

The Ouran Reference Killed Me

[@FletcherWolfe]

[@sirspectre9909]

THANK U CON MOM AND CON DAD

[@SpookySenpai666]

Pro tip: If you bring a bag with you, it's not shameful to keep touch-up makeup with you and reapply it regularly! Whether it's lipstick, facepaint, eyeliner, or whatever! People are usually very open-minded if you slip out to fix yourself up.

[@cheesyuser3199]

hang on...I paused the bid for this but....I SPOT A AMPORA SIGN ON YO ARM..... for one, I'm cosplaying as Eridan and two I live the Amporas...lemme go fangurl for a MIN and I'll be right back...

[@pringlebingle]

This is posted before I pack for a con

[@knightofvoid4061]

Hi, everyone! I'm doing a homestuck cosplay, and I was wondering...what is the best way to apply the face powder?

[@Bepismil]

Knight of Void don't use powders, use snazaroo face paint and set it with a transparent powder

[@teethetrash1134]

What do you do when you get to the con and you buy to much stuff and it doesn't fit in your bag?

[@cassandrasummers2423]

You bring a second one with you. Trust me, I got too much stuff and had to bring three bags to the con I went to in March

[@skunkyboiii4869]

Dont worry I have my Nic Cage phone case to keep me company

[@BlackAndRed9]

i have a question, do youbhave any makeup tricks so makeuo stays on for someone who licks their lips alot? i tend to and the makeup tends to come off quicker and i was wondering if you had a trick to make it stay on?

[@Grrimbark]

Hmm. you could try hairspray if it was any area except your lips. You could always apply clear capstick to your lips to add another layer and help keep it on.

[@ramendoodles1680]

"Because we all like to keep our noses" Use deodorant don't drink and drive

[@multifandomtrashh8169]

I was the 1k like.

[@luwitcher5489]

[@LaLobita2011]

[@devyne.3400]

Some big booth take cards but cash makes everything easier! Some cons even have atms if you need it
