The Red Devil’s Chronicles’ March & April 2023 DMC News Updates: PoC, Trend, Merch, And More
Tumblr media
Hey, how’s it going? Here are some more Devil May Cry news updates I’ve collected in the past couple months: 1. The Peak of Combat mobile game has made progress. You can find all of their latest updates and announcements on their Youtube channel.
2. Megaman collabing with Devil May Cry V.
3. Capcom had a spotlight survey that went for 2 weeks, with Devil May Cry being on the list.
4. Prime1Studio making more Devil May Cry V merch. b) Including NabeHands making more Devil May Cry figures. c) And there’s now Devil May Cry Vinyl records.
5. Vergil and Nero trended on Twitter for a bit.
6. Lady's Devil May Cry 3 and 4 voice actress Kari Wahlgren won an award.
7. New CAPCOM artwork featuring Dante and Nero. 8. KFC Spain showed off a Vergil cosplayer ordering some KFC.
My Thoughts On These Updates:
1. It’s not just their Youtube channel you can check out the latest things happening with Peak of Combat, but there’s also their Twitter page which includes polls at times. I saw one poll that baffled me where they asked which gaming device they preferred us to slay demons on. SamSung phones won by a looooong shot compared to the other options which were iPhone, PC, and gaming console. I commented saying that I prefer both PC and gaming console, but chose gaming console since it’s what I grew up with.
2. So many Devil May Cry V collabs. It’s cool but it would be nice if the other Devil May Cry games can have turns collabing as well. I’m aware DMC4 and DMC1 had some collab events before, but DMCV seems to be the only thing that’s getting the most collabs.
3. It sucks that in order to take the survey you had to be a CAPCOM member...I know it’s free and keeps a record on how many fans are interested in their products, but it annoys me when you have to sign up for stuff in order to participate in something that you know you won’t often take part in and your profile just sits there. Not just CAPCOM but other companies as well.
4. It’s cool how Prime1Studio’s going strong and still coming out with new Devil May Cry V merch, 4 years after its release. Then again, Devil May Cry V is still expanding in popularity. I just had my cousin tell me recently that one of her friends is a huge Vergil fan but has never played any of the games, and this friend finally bought all the games and plans to play them whenever he gets the time. b) NabeHands has been doing an amazing job on the figures. Looking forward to more Devil May Cry figure projects from them. c) I wonder what the Devil May Cry tunes would sound like on a record player or jukebox (also huge congrats to the fan artist StelarPidgin for being a part of the project by making the artwork for the records). I’ve heard people argue that they prefer the sound of music on a record player or jukebox compared to a cassette tape or CD player (even speakers from a laptop or phone). I don’t have a jukebox and record player myself but I remember my one grandmother having a record player before it got really old and worn out, and I can kinda remember that the music was nice and clean with the right touch of bass compared to other music playing systems. 
5. Usually it would be just Dante, Devil May Cry, or DMC that would be trending on Twitter. It’s nice to see the other characters from the series taking the trending spotlight.
6. Big congrats to Kari Wahlgren for her award. She is a great voice actress. Speaking of her, I still need to find out why she didn’t get credited for voicing as Lady in DMC3 and 4.
7. With CAPCOM showing off more Devil May Cry in their advertising shows how popular of a series it is, and gives a bit more hope about more future titles coming sooner than later.
8. It’s really cool and interesting to see when restaurant chains recognize certain media and implement them into their advertising, promotions, etc.

Cosplay goals
Shigaraki Tomura x Reader x Amajiki Tamaki
You said it couldn’t be done? Nothing is impossible and so on your birthday I give you this @katsukisprincess   Happy birthday Sky ^.^ 
Warings: Sexy time actions, quirkless gamer au, many gaming puns, Loosely based off of the actual GamerCon in San Diego.  
“N-no leave it on.”
You were ecstatic, basking in the middle of it all. Colorful screens, sounds of bullets being fired, hundreds of people congregated together to play, speak and have fun. You were at GamerCon! One of the most anticipated events by many die hard gamers and cosplayers. You had just received your NPC badge for the event. It didn’t matter that this was your fifth year volunteering, you still felt as excited as you did the first year. 
As a fresh faced noob at the con you were a bit shy but now you greeted all of your ‘Boss Monster’s’ and fellow NPC’s with a grin and a twirl. Why a twirl? Because after asking the head up’s all year you had finally been given permission to cosplay on the job. Everyone told you that you had done a fantastic job and as you continued walking around the Con people had stopped you asking for a picture. 
“Oh my gosh! It’s BaniKuin! Can I take a picture of you!” You couldn't deny the geeks now could you? You were dressed as BaniKuin one of the many playable characters in a new CVG. The FPS game had blown up the first year it came out  and you were a die hard fan of it. You had spent a lot of money trying to perfect the costume you wore and you were extremely proud of it. Hell you looked exactly like the final boss, well post transformation….
You were on cloud nine and the costume wasn’t the only reason why. This year two of your favorite gamer’s were going to attend. And, you had begged to be assigned to the area they would be at. And the golden dragon seemed to smile upon you that day as ‘access was granted’. Shigaraki and Amajiki, both Japanese gamers and both very attractive. But you didn’t fangirl over them only due to their aesthetically pleasing appearance but because they were incredible. 
Shigaraki was the older of the pro-gaming duo. He had a very tragic past and poured his heart into gaming so much so that he was now living off playing games. He was constantly bullied over his skin condition and over the fact that he had only played video games. You admired how he told the world ‘fuck you’ and continued to pursue what had become his passion. 
Amajiki was the younger of the two being just as socially awkward as his senior. He was a cute man who loved fantasy and rpg’s. He was just a normal shy teen when he met Shigaraki. Apparently he was dragged to a gaming event by one of his friends and when a competition broke out his friend shoved him saying “Tamaki could beat him no problem!” Shigaraki wasn’t amused but he was impressed by his skill and soon after reached out to him to play the most popular MOBA game in the world. After that they just started to game together.
You liked to think it was because they both found comfort in having someone just as awkward around. You loved them both they were so real and Incredible. You binged there channel whenever you had free time. You loved watching Shigaraki destroy his enemies and Amajiki’s walkthroughs were a lifesaver when you were stuck in a game. You were the one who anonymously suggested they have the video of the start of their partnership on their front page…. You squealed when they actually did it. 
And as if they couldn’t get even more amazing they both got into ‘Freedom Sky’! They zoomed through the gamemode and quickly rose ranks in the multiplayer part of the game. The game was one they both enjoyed and usually played together. You thought the video of there first time playing it was cute. Shigaraki was vehemently against playing something that sounded so cute but once the disk was in his third eye was wide open. 
The game was utter madness and violence. It was just enough gore to get Shigaraki grinning. That and you had screenshot the part in which Amajiki got competitive his eyebrows furrowing into a glare, his tongue darting out to lick at his dry lips as he crushed monster after monster. Your favorite part was when Shigaraki paused the game and looked over at Amajiki “I didn’t think you’d be into a game like this.” Amajiki’s response was more than enough to heat up your face and make your coochie tingle. “There’s a lot about me you don’t know.” and, he had the sexiest smirk on his face as he noticed his kills were higher than Shigaraki. 
Damn you really loved them. Hell if it wasn’t for you getting tipped off that they were going to attend you would have never cosplayed as their favorite character. Yes BaniKuin was one of the only characters they both liked. Usually their taste differed in characters but when she came out as the final boss in the game play they lost it. Amajiki’s jaw dropped at the incredible graphics the character was gorgeous the long bunny ears perched on her head making her look incredibly fragile and innocent. Hell she even came in a flurry of butterflies. 
Shigaraki wasn’t that impressed thinking that a cute girl as the final boss wasn’t fitting for the gruesome game. Well that was until he had his ass handed to him by the queen. She wrecked them easily dismembering them. The you lost screen flashed across the screen millions of times and Shigaraki became obsessed with defeating her. When he succeeded… “Ha! Take that you bunny bitch! Choke on my fucking cock hoe you just lost! Now release all the BunkinS!” Needless to say this made Amajiki wheeze and soon their gaming room was filled with BaniKuin merch.
Your heart pounded in your chest as you walked to the table where they sat. There they were all in their amazing glory. Shigaraki had a bored look on his face, his head resting on his hand as he looked over the various fans. Whenever someone came up he’d swiftly check them out before signing whatever it was they brought. Amajiki had a permanent blush on his face as people tried flirting with him, his signature shakey. He never got over the fact that they were quite popular. Taking in a deep breath you walked closer to their ‘booth’. 
Shigaraki was speaking with a fan when he stopped mid-sentence. His eyes widened in shock you looked perfect. There wasn’t a single flaw in your costume you looked just like BaniKuin. Without taking his eyes ofs of you ne nudged Amajiki with his elbow. The man quickly jolted removing his hands from his face to glare at the light haired man. When he saw that Shigaraki wasn’t looking at him he turned his head and his jaw dropped. A quiet ‘Oh my gosh’ slipped from his lips his eyes following you as you walked next to one of the NPC’s standing next to the table. 
“Erherm. Hello?” The fan in front of Shigaraki rolled his eyes “Are you gonna sign it or not?”
“Y-Yeah sure.” He flushed turning his attention back to the man. Amajiki also went back to hiding from his fans but their eyes would always wonder to your form. It pissed Shigaraki off he had noticed the NPC badge you had but this had to be staged right? It wasn’t till they announced a break that they got to speak to you. 
“Y-your cosplay i-it’s amazing.” Amajiki stuttered, in awe at the details of your face and body paint. 
“You look just like her.” Shigaraki mused looking at you up and down. “You mind turning around.”
“T-Tomura!” Amajiki squeaked looking at his friend in shock. 
“No it’s fine.” You smiled turning around for him slowly. “Besides as you can guess I’m a really big fan of the game and of yours. So when I heard you guys were gonna be at GamerCon I was like why not?”
“Yeah you should have seen her.” Your fellow NPC snickered. “This is her fifth year volunteering but she was geeking like if it was her first rodeo!’” 
“Was not!” You huffed, turning back to the two men in front of you. “Well if you guys need something me and Joe will be more than happy to get it for you!” You chirped.
“Will you now.” Shigaraki smirked. 
“Yeah man it’s kind of our job.” Joe shrugged cluelessly. 
Once their break was over they went back to signing and talking with fans. Shigaraki was not okay. You had no idea of the lewd dreams he had after beating BaniKuin. How almost every night after he woke up with his sheets soiled by his cum. The way your body looked in those clothes had him spreading his legs. Damn he was so grateful for the table. Amajiki wasn’t fairing any better. Ever since you turned around his mind went straight to the gutter. Your cute bunny tail, he had noticed that it wasn’t attached to the outer wear. There was a hole in your clothing allowing it to poke free. And he wanted nothing more than to remove your costume to see it. 
He felt embarrassed for thinking such things. From his brief interaction with you he could tell you were a sweetheart and you had dressed knowing it was their favorite character in Freedom Sky. It wasn’t your fault, you didn’t know about his horny thought regarding the Bunny boss. You struggled so hard to maintain your composure. You had caught them staring at you more times than you could count. You thought they liked your costume but it was a bit more than that….
You hadn’t caught on and wouldn’t have if you weren’t curious. You had seen both of them shifting about that you had peaked under the table… Shigaraki was the first to notice that you looked and he sent you a shameless smirk his tongue darting out to lick his chapped lips. Once Amajiki noticed the gesture he flushed in humiliation. ‘Great now she’s gonna think I'm nothing but a pervert.’ 
It didn’t take long for you to put two and two together and boy were you aroused. “Hey BaniKuin? Mind staying alone till four? I managed to snag tickets to Lich’s tomb and Rogues den and I don’t wanna miss out.” Joe asked. 
“Yeah no problem.” You smiled. Your eyes then crawled back to the two gamers and your breath caught in your throat. Amajiki’s eyes were practically undressing you his bottom lip caught between his teeth. Shigaraki had slipped a hand underneath the table. ‘Is this really happening’ You thought. Your body was already heating up your panties growing damp as you recalled all the fanfics and fantasies you had of both of them taking you. As the number of people dwindled you decided to tease them. 
Someone had dropped a water bottle on the floor and like the good citizen you were you went to pick it up. The way you bent over had the fabric of your pants stretching over your ass and it pushed your cute bunny tail up higher. Amajiki sputtered as he struggled to speak to the person in front of him. All he could think about was the curve of your ass and how the plush flesh would feel incredible as he slammed into you from behind. Shigaraki let out a groan. This was becoming too much. He had never wanted to fuck someone so badly. 
“Hey! No running you little demon!” You called out as someone had rushed passed you. The authoritative tone in your voice was almost enough to make them cream their pants. You were so fucking hot. Amajiki bounced his leg in impatience as he waited for it to be four. Shigaraki had no more fans and took it as an invitation to rile up his friend. He whispered to him about how they were going to find somewhere private and make a mess out of the queen. 
When the last fan left Amajiki turned to Shigaraki. “W-we can’t.” He whispered. Shigaraki just grabbed his face and turning it towards your form. You were squirming on the spot your legs rubbing together to give you some sense of relief. “That slut wants it look at how she’s trying to get off. We’re just gonna be nice and give it to her.” Shigaraki rasped. 
“I-I don’t know.” He stuttered. Before Shigaraki could answer you came up to them. 
“So it’s four o’clock guys, you must be tired but before you go is there anything I can get for you?” You breathed biting your lip in need. 
Surprisingly it was Amajiki who spoke. “A room! I-I mean if you have some p-place were we could just relax o-or something, D-drink some water o-or-”
“Look let’s not beat around the bush is there a staff room not in use around here?” He asked looking at you with darkened eyes. 
“Y-yeah.” You gulped. 
“Then show us to it Kuin.” Your eyes widened in shock when he stood up, you could easily make out the shape of his cock through the stretched material of his pants. Amajiki fared no better but had at least used his bag to cover himself. Shigaraki had no shame as he pressed his crotch to your ass as you walked him to the nearest staff room. Amajiki had more tack making sure no one noticed the three of you. As soon as you opened the room Shigaraki gripped your hips and ground his hardened cock on the curve of your ass. Amajiki swiftly locked the door. 
“You know what’s going to happen right?” He groaned in to your ear. 
“Mmhm” You hummed in acknowledgement. You didn’t know whose fantasy was being played out more yours or theirs but hell you didn't care. 
“A-are you sure your okay with this?” You heard Amajiki say. As soon as you nodded Shigaraki turned you around pressing his chapped lips against your roughly. His hands fumbled with the lower material of your costume and his quickly slid underneath the fabric of your panties. One hand went to your ass where he squeezed the plump flesh while the other played with your drooling lips. 
You sighed into his mouth when you felt him pinch your clit between his fingers. Amajiki pressed up behind you his cock rutting up against your ass as his hands crawled up your torso to cup your breasts. From a top the fabric he circled your already hardened nipples. This made you arch into Shigaraki’s touch. 
“Hah~” Your pulse quickened as Shigaraki moved his fingers to tease your tight hole. Your head went back on Amajiki’s shoulder allowing him to kiss and nip at the sensitive flesh of your neck. 
“Heh she’s fo fucking wet Tamaki.” Shigaraki grinned pulling away from your lips, his bottom lip glistening with your swapped sliva. “I bet she could take us both in here.”
“Ah!” You didn’t even try to muffle your moans as two of his fingers slipped into your dripping hot cavern. Without warning he removed them pulling them up to show Amajiki how wet you were. You could have came right there and them as the shy man’s lips closed around Shigaraki’s fingers. His tongue rolling between each digit to clean your stingy slick off every inch of them. 
“She tastes just as good.” He moaned releasing the man’s fingers with a pop. “Just as good as I always imagined Bani tasting.” 
Amajiki worked the top part of your costume off of you allowing your bare breasts to grace the blue haired man’s vision. He dipped his head down to lick up the valley between them. He moved Amajiki’s fingers off one of your nipples so that he could wrap his lips around it. Your hand went down to palm his thick length from a top his pants and your other slipped underneath the fabric of Amajiki’s jeans and briefs to wrap around his girth. 
“F-Fuck.” his breath hitched as your thumb ran over his slitt spreading the liquid of his pre-cum along his shaft.  
“Fuck this foreplay shit.” Shigaraki groaned pulling away from your nipple and impatiently began to tug off the bottom part of your costume. Once it was off he reached for the belt attaching your bunny tail to your body. His hand was caught. 
“N-No leave it on.” Amajiki flushed. 
“Nothing wrong with that” Shiagraki grinned undoing his belt. 
“A-are you still sure? I-it’s not too late to stop” Amajiki asked. You only responded by getting on your knees in front of him your fingers popping open the button of his jeans. “O-Okay”
“Fuck this is so hot.” Shigaraki groaned stroking his cock at the sight of you on your knees. 
As soon as Amajiki’s cock sprang free you descended on him your lips kissing the bulbous head, smearing your lips with his pre. Your tongue licked down the length of his shaft to his balls, when you licked a strip bak up you parted your lips and invited him into your hot slick mouth. His hand quickly went to your head  where he gripped the long bunny ears down onto your head firmly. Your took him in deeper and deeper. 
“Mm b-bunny f-fuck thats good~” he groaned as he hit the back of your throat. His grip on your head tightened when he felt his cock slip past into your throat. You took the chance to breath as your nose was pressed against his black curly pubes. When you started to move his head rolled back in a gasp. 
“Gonna leave me out of all the fun?” Shigaraki teased kneeling down on top of you as he parted your thighs to coat his heavy throbbing cock with your gooey slick. You felt him part your folds to rub the head of his thick cock on your clit. The action made you whine. The whine shot through Amajiki’s body and his hips jerked forward making you gag a bit. 
“You dirty queen.” He breathed “Choking on Tamaki’s cock, what would the Bunkins think?” The role played his hand coming down to slap your ass. You yelped against Amajiki and he groaned thrusting into your mouth. 
You could only moan as Shigaraki’s cock stretched your tight hole. You had heard the rumors but fuck he was filling you up so well. He pulled out only to slam back into. The movement jerking your body forward causing you to gag once more. You sputtered against Amajiki’s ween as Shigaraki gripped your hips tightly and began to thrust into you wildly. 
His rough thrusts were making you see stars. Every stroke deep and surprisingly angled to hit the spongy flesh inside your cunt. It had pressure building up in your loins quickly. Your mind spun as shots of pleasure ran up and down your body. By now Amajiki was abusing your throat his thrusts equally as hard as Shigaraki making it difficult for you to breath. The lost of breath had your eyes rolling to the back of our head. 
“Unnghh T-Tomura i-if hah~ You could see her face r-right now~” Amajiki moaned his hips stuttering as he gazed down at your teary face. 
“A-Ahegao?” Shigaraki grunted his balls slapping against your clit with each thrust. 
“Y-yes!” he whimpered as he was nearing his end. “F-fuck Mmm you look so good like this~” 
When Shigaraki’s hand moved down to rub shapes on your clit you were a goner. Your thighs trembling as you squirted on his cock. Your action of being fucked by your favorite gamers being too much for your body. “F-fuck” Shigaraki groaned as your slobbering pussy clenched down around him. 
Amajiki came next his eyes rolling back as his cock stilled in your mouth. Hot spurts of his thick cum sliding down your throat. When he pulled out you coughed some of it trickling down your chin. Shigaraki increased his bruising pace and quickly pulled out. 
“T-turn over.” He panted, you quickly complied and with a few more pumps his load shot onto your body. The white liquid hitting your stomach and chest. Some of it even splattering on your face. You all stayed in silence for a moment to catch your breath. 
“Fuck I’ve always wanted to see BaniKuin covered in my cum.” Shigaraki chuckled. 
You returned the breathless laugh as his fingers rubbed his spermatozoon into your skin. Amajiki tucked himself into his jeans and looked you over with a blush. 
“I-I’m sorry f-for using y-your mouth like that.” He flustered. 
“It’s fine.” You reassured. 
Shigaraki looked to you and Amajiki. “If we didn’t have to be at the rooftop by six I would have suggested another round.” 
“I would have taken that up.” You grinned. 
“I wouldn’t mind g-going again.” Amajiki stuttered. 
“Than that settles it” Shigaraki smirked “Drop by our gaming place sometime.”
“With or without the costume.” You joked. 
“Doesn’t matter you won’t be needing it.” He licked his lips. 
“T-That reminds me…. We never got your name…”

{ Now I’m just. Thinking about Elsa’s parks costumes
Pretty much every look has a BAD wig. Her hair is blonde, not pure white. It’s unflattering on a lot of her friends, it’s inaccurate to the movie, and it looks super fake. Also it seems so much shinier than any other face character wig? I don’t care for the hard front either but I know the park wigs are used too often to be lacefronts, I understand and can overlook that.
Standard Ice Dress
Bodice is weird and bulky. Kinda has a nice sparkle, but still looks weird, IMO
Why is the cape so opaque? With such hard to see snowflakes? booooo.
Why is her skirt lined in dark purple?
Frozen Live At The Hyperion
Sparkles nicely under the stage lights, I’ll give it that, but when you can see the details in photos it’s actually kind of boring.
Kind of looks more like a Spirit Halloween costume than a Disney Park costume (especially sad compared to how gorgeous Jasmine’s Hyperion costume was)
At least the wig is blonde, but it’s kind of sloppy. Half the time when she takes it down during Let It Go the whole thing comes undone.
Disneyland Paris: Magic On Parade
Same problems as the standard ice dress, but also there’s a giant, tacky snowflake on her chest
Shanghai Disney: Golden Fairytale Fanfare
First one. There’s....a lot going on on this dress. I get that they were going for a sharp/icicle look but oof. It looks like they just slapped it together.
Second one. Same sharp, kinda disorganized look as the first one, but this time in gold. I know everyone got gold outfits in this show, but I feel like the colour isn’t the problem, it’s the design of the icicle parts.
Disneyland Paris: Mickey And The Magician
This looks like a poorly-tailored prom dress and I’m so upset by it.
Weird, short sleeves, bad fabric, sparse jewels, seems somewhat ill-fitting, and not even a false bodice/skirt separation. Would it be so hard to put some decoration around the waist to at least create the illusion that they’re separate pieces?
Fifth Spirit Dress
Again, doesn’t fit quite right
There’s a lot of bunching/wrinkling around the midsection. I get that these dresses have to be shared so they can’t be made to exact measurements, but there are ways to make it so the middle isn’t so messy
I don’t dig the bare arm look. The Fifth Spirit dress has white sleeves for most of the arm. This just feels weird, imo
The patterns on it look cheap. They look lazy. I don’t think laser cutting was the way to go, there had to have been a better option
At least the wig got better. Still not quite the right colour but definitely more flattering.
SIDE NOTE CAN WE TALK ABOUT QUEEN ANNA’S PUCKERED HEM BECAUSE I’M SO ANGRY ABOUT IT
Disneyland Paris: Frozen 2 Enchanted Journey
DISCO GIIIIIRL. COMING THROOOUUGH. THAT GIRL IS YOOOOU
Seriously what the fuck
Why the weird superhero-esqu over-the-shoulder cape fixture?
Cape material also looks cheap af
I hate the stiff, sharp lines. Fifth Spirit Elsa is so flowing and free, but these harsh, art deco-looking lines on the dress don’t give that impression
The mermaid style flare is also weird. The whole bottom of the dress is just so indescribably bizarre to me
The nude illusion is such a weird choice!!!! I guess Elsa decided this is a tiddy out look
HOW DARE THEY PUT ELSA IN GLOVES. Gloves are symbolic of her self-loathing and fear and they PUT GLOVES ON HER IN HER FIFTH SPIRIT DRESS. I hate this.
Me: “I wish she didn’t have bare arms in her parks Fifth Spirit look” and a finger curled on the Monkey’s Paw
Hair colour got a little better but the style got worse. We cannot win.
I know she’s also worn her Frozen 2 traveling costume in a parade and at the merch press events, but I can find precious few photos of it, and even fewer of them are good enough to see the details, so I don’t know how good it is. It was on display at D23 and I somehow did not know until after the display was taken down and I am still devastated by this.
I guess the two times she’s worn her coronation dress in the parks (at the Hyperion and in Mickey And The Magician) it’s been alright. But her ice looks are the iconic ones and Disney just....can’t get it right. They have so much money and so many resources, but broke-ass cosplayers do better with the stuff we make in our living rooms.
When Will Disney Do My Girl Justice? }

Lolita in Romania
This could be somewhat viewed as a look into the Lolita trend in Romania from my personal experience.
Being a Harajuku fashion Enthusiast in Romania is hard, especially when you’ve liked Lolita fashion before the early movements around 2008 and usually too shy (& sometimes too comfortable/cheap) to go around in the styles you like & would love to wear.
♪ The community here is pretty slow, but it lives. Always appreciate people here trying Lolita, enjoying it and spreading the word. Especially since it took me a long time to find (in Romania) people interested in Lolita fashion (or any other alternative Japanese styles).
The styles that I am fond of, even since before my teens, are mostly Classic Lolita, Elegant Gothic Aristocrat/Kodona and Wa-Loli. Used to search for pictures and online magazine scans for hours back in the early 2000s.
Went to Fashion Design in University hoping to evolve my love of the style but the teachers were really skeptic and tried to steer me off my path & towards more... academic & “contemporary universal” pursuits.
♪ In December 2007 I decided to join an anime club to nurture my passion for Japan & there I found the magnificent and amazing Shinju ~♪  (knew her then as an anime fan/seamstress) who shared my passion for the Lolita styles and is now a renowned cosplayer~! ♪ Went in (November?) 2008 to a convention for the 1st time. In Bucharest, it’s called Nijikon. Got to see some of Shinju’s full self-made Lolita outfits ❤ ♪ For the next couple of years the interest in Lolita fashion started growing & in 2010 with the fashion show by Shinju being held at a convention called Otaku Festival more and more girls were interested in making a community ❤ ♪ After a few more conventions & a couple of years of trying to organize a Lolita event, in 2012 I tried organizing in my home town a fashion walk & meetup and called it J-Fashion Tea Party. With my pocket money as budget I invited some friends, ordered a chocolate cake & held it at a Tea House. It wasn’t a big event. A short walk away from the central park it was the most people that have gathered for a simple meeting, walk, tea & photos. We had fun & that was what was most important~♪ ♪ Afterward it got harder to gather people and some into more alternative styles asked if we could do more events, whenever time (& my budget) would allow it I organized a few more Alternative Fashion Meetings & Walks.
Sadly, as with many small events here with no free things, stalls and more prepared, it all lasted for 2 more years with less & less people attending.
In Romania now Lolita & Japanese fashion enthusiasts can mostly gather at or around conventions, or just groups of friends into the styles hanging out.
♪ Since 2012 there have been several fashion walks and lolita events held in different cities in Romania with many more attendees than in my home town. The capital, Bucharest, having most of the Lolita community & events, followed closely by Iasi, Cluj, Craiova & Brasov.
♪ The latest event involving Japanese styles, publicly held in Romania, was at Nijikon 2016 by a relatively newly formed group of people, with a passion for alternative Japanese fashion, who want the same thing as I do, which is to spread the word and find more people into the same things to enjoy them together. 
Decided to write this in hopes that someday the girls(and guys) will gather & organize something and keep the lolita flame alive.. Most events are centralized in Bucharest, with people constantly complaining about locations if they are further away then their own towns. Such issues will persist for you cannot satisfy all & as long as there will be no major Lolita event announced with at least 6 months prior, to give people time to prepare & save time & money for transport, accommodation, food & the actual event merch. The community being mostly comprised of teens and university students means their budgets are small and even in the chance that a big event will be held the lack of attendees will decrease any chances of such an event ever being held again.
