>Dress I really love shows up on auction again
>Remind myself cut would be unflattering and it wouldn't fit my bust anyways
>Every time it comes up I have to remind myself this
>Still really want it
>Other cuts exist but I don't love them nearly as much
>halp

>tfw dream dress is up right now but don't get paid until the 1st of July

A cosplay related feel and a not cosplay related feel. I posted these in the old thread but then the camwhore derailing happened. Now with an image because not on mobile.

>Brother's losing the joy of cons because all the cosplays he wants to work on are too hard for his skill level
>Suggest characters for him but he doesn't want to make them because he doesn't like the same series I do
>Raging bitch parent screams and rants if he tries to go to cons not in cosplay

I don't know how to make him happy. He wants to get back into loving cons but it's hard. He is also overweight right now but used to have a severe eating disorder so it's hard for him to try to work on self-improvement without falling back into old unhealthy patterns.

Other feel:

>See speedrunner's videos online, take a look
>Oh no he's a qt and pretty funny most of the time
>Some flaws physically and some off colour humour but nice smile and real nice voice, hella cute accent, seems like a cool guy
>Oh no
>Think of what it would be like to hang with this guy
>It seems so nice
>Never even spoken to this guy, lives across the fucking pond from me so meeting him would be impossible even if I did somehow catch his attention (I won't)
>Still thinking about it
>This is not normal

Just wanted some advice as to how to get rid of this stupid crush. I never crush on people and yet somehow I've become attached to a complete stranger.

>hosting meet tomorrow
>weather that was pleasant all week suddenly turns awful
>period cramps hit like a truck and will probably be worse tomorrow
>don't want to cancel meet but dang

>Friend returns from Japan, I'd asked her to buy me a dress and she fell in love with Baby and AaTP's stuff
>Lend her a coord for a convention because she'd left her cosplays at her parents' small town home hours away
>Loves it
>Her boyfriend (another friend of mine) comes to me in private and asks me to encourage her to get into the fashion because of how happy she'd been wearing the borrowed coord
>Try my best, show her dresses I think she'd like for very good deals
>She talks about how she likes things but never buys anything or takes more steps into the fashion
>You can't force someone but I wonder what the point of my searching was

I guess I should just let go of this pipe dream of getting a friend into lolita but man I thought she wanted to go for it.
