>angry, rage to Loli friend about this

>look at weather forecast
>it's probably going to rain
>mfw that means meet up is probably canceled

I-i just want to go to a meet up and wear pretty clothes and feel cute and make cute lolita friends

>exams in two weeks
>haven't studied yet
>probably going to fail them
>hate myself, but cannot manage to actually study or do anything but lay in my bed feeling sorry for myself
>mfw

>birthday tomorrow
>feel nothing
>only stress because I fucked up Uni this year
>I got my mother to buy me a dress as a present
>one of my dream dresses
>it already arrived
>doesn't fit because of all the weight I gained
>mfw

I just want to sleep through summer and exams and never have to be responsible or grow up and act according my age jfc I fail at becoming an adult.
I want to stop being such a failure at life, Uni, stop my horrible eating habits and being socially awkward and unable to make new friends, but I cannot motivate me to become a better person. All I can do is sit in horror watching me ruin my life without any real reason.

Holy shit we burn through these fast.

>>7662789
Yeah, we do. I was surprised to see the last die so fast!

>have twin who also cosplays
>have a huge tub of scrap-ish fabric in neutral area in house, not in our rooms or anything
>contains ancient fabric from grandma, mom, myself, and twin
>I figure it's mostly up for grabs stuff so I make a crop top out of stretchy fabric that's been in there for ages
>twin comes home to visit from college
>gets mad that I used apparently "her" fabric
>says she was GONNA use it to make a lining for a jacket, which is retarded anyway even if it wasn't a sob excuse

This happened before. Both times the fabric had been in there forever and I'd never seen her make anything out of it, before or after the incidents despite her plans she probably makes up. She took some of the tub with her when she left for summer, so I organized and folded everything left and figured she didn't want the stretchy stuff. I keep all fabric I buy in my room, and put any leftovers I don't want in the tub. I'd think she'd keep anything she wants exclusively to herself in her room as well...

It's super annoying and stupid and I bet if I looked at her tumblr there'd be a long whine about it like last time but I'm a better cosplayer than her and am the good twin so I'd not TOO feely about it.

>she makes everything out of walmart polycotton and...yeah wanted to make a lining out of what is probably spandex

>>7662799
it didn't die, it was deleted for some reason? As far as I can tell.

>tfw anon you were talking to in it will never see your reply
>if nameless poem-wanting anon is still around pls let me know

>Crashed truck earlier this year
>My dad fixed it but I still owe him around $1150
>no air conditioning in my truck and it's summer in Texas so I sweat like a pig every time I go out to run an errand

>preordered anime figurines from Goodsmile company last winter, which don't withdraw your money until figurines is released
>still have 3 more preorders coming out in the next 2 months
>bank account overdrawn $42 because of preorder

>So much money stress

I make poor decisions. The preorders were like "lol future me can deal with this" and now I am.

>>7662758
anon I feel you so much, except that when I didn't study I by some miracle still managed to pass and tbh I'm not sure how I feel about that since I just feel bad for not having studied

>>7662802
Geez, anon. You literally can't even get along with your twin.

>>7662823
I hate the myth that twins should get along better than regular siblings...

It's her fault, it really is. There's a reason she can't keep friends for over a semester.

>started therapy nearly two months ago
>make some progress
>"anon, I think seeing a psychiatrist and going on medication may really help you."
>well fuckin shit, why not
>going to see a psychiatrist in two weeks
>so scared
>but I'm gonna give it my all

>friend wants me to cosplay a sports anime with them
>10-15 lbs overweight
>"anon we'll have so much fun!! I'm so excited!!"
>ah shit
>have 3 months to try and look remotely /fit/
Pray for me.

Have a happy dog to help brighten your day!

>>7662693
5/5 for using d'Eon pic

>>7662823
I have an identical twin sister and she's a huge bitch.
We both have naturally curly hair but she's been hot-ironing it since the 6th grade and always makes shitty comments to me how ugly curly hair is and how i need to invest in a good flat iron like lmao fuck you
>>7662855
I can drink to that Anon.

>tfw your favorite artists on Tumblr ignore you
This hurts a lot more than it probably should

>>7663094
are they a popular artist? Because then they might get a fuckton of messages. Or your message got eaten which happens way too much on that site.

>tfw met a girl on 4chan
>tfw was planning on going to a con together
>tfw she stopped talking to me after a month
>tfw it was a combination of her ldr ex not liking me and me being a shitty friend
>tfw abandonment for being a scumbag
>tfw can't control myself
>tfw drink to make the pain go away

This really cemented the fact that I will never have real friends because I cannot empathize like, at all. Half of me hates myself but the other half could give less of a shit.

>>7663130
How were you a scumbag, anonymous? Did you try and steal her pantsu or something?

>>7663094
Hm... how so?
Depending on how many followers they have, it could be that your messages are getting drowned in their inbox. I'm good at cleaning mine out, but I know others that usually have about 800+ messages just sitting there.

>>Con this weekend
>> Had to go to Vet Today because rabbit has cold
>> tfw 183 vet bill, 225 con weekend and cut hours because im a weekend worker

I'm not extremely tight on cash but man, I semi-wish I could back out of the con now. On the other hand, this si going to be my first vacation in a year.

>>7663161
which con?

>>7663172
Metrocon.

>>7663142
Haha, pantsu. I tried to steal her virginity.

>>7662814
Maybe this is me? My e-mail's in the field. A-are you selling?

>>7663180
Hey, me too. We can feel poor together this weekend!

>>7663196
Haha awesome! I'll be there for all three days, gonna cosplay Fionna on Saturday.
Also that feelw hen you've been attending cons for so long you don't buy anything because the shits the same after awhile.

>>7663211
I'm going to run up to every Fionna cosplayer if they're the poorfag. I'll be mokou on Saturday.

I always find something in the artist ally.

>>7663221
Artists alley can be hit or miss for me, mostly because I'm not into a lot of the super popular stuff. (Sherlock, Dr.Who, Supernatural, Attack on Titan.)
At least there prolly wont be a shortage of cute Sailor Moon shit. I might have to buy some fo that.

I've typed this so many times because no matter how many times i typed it I still feel the angst and still feel how whiney this sounds.
>have two older sisters, 24/28
>both are moving back/have moved back into the house
>i'm forced to move my things into this no-AC/heated/no window storage room
>eldest sister gets her comfortable windowed AC/heated room
>other sister kicks me out of her old room
>literally just throws everything into this storage room with a bed and half of my dead grandfather's things still in it
>this is the fourth time i've been forced to move my things because they keep coming back
Would I rather be here than on the streets? Yes. Am I happy I don't have to pay rent? Fuck yes. But I feel like I'm going crazy not having a space of my own. I can't draw smut, I can't play eroge, right now I'm on this site in the middle of the living room. I fucking hate it.

>>7663004
So nice to meet another fan, I've only met a handful of people who've watched it despite it being such a lovely series!

>>7663227
Yeah, that's the problem. They never have any content of my favorite games/anime. Though sometimes they have adorable Pokemon stuff, which is fine by me.

>tfw you have four days to make something unexpected
>tfw everyone else finished ages ago and has posted photos trying everything on
>tfw you haven't even finished drafting your pattern

i am so fucked

>Want to cosplay

>there's always at least one kind of dessert in the house
>make cookies recently, dozen
>eat maybe 3
>the rest are gone within 2 days
>next day: "Hey anon, I got this cake mix, can you make it?"
And you wonder why you're not losing weight. He pisses me off.

>>7663351
>goes through a gallon ice cream in a week by himself
Not that bad for a fat fuck.

>>7663360
That's included with the usual pilling through cake.

>>7663338
Strip on camera.

>>7663360
Seriously. I'm skinny and I went through a pint in one sitting last night.

I'll just repost mine from the previous thread.

Problem solved.

>Stay home and chill out for the night or go out and party

i think im depressed if this is even this difficult of a decision

>>7663094
this feel tho.
that and cosplayers who answer useless messages but not my legit question.

>>7663397
If you want to save money stop using drugs.

>>7663386
I got N°7's Exceptional Definition Nutrient Enriched Mascara in Brown Black and 3 Que Bella Mud Masks. (1 in Dead Sea Mineral, 1 in Pomegranate Peel Off Mask and the other in Tea Tree & Witch Hazel)

I highly recommend the mascara; it gives your eyelashes a really natural definition but gives them length. I actually like it more than Better Than Sex from Urban Decay.

The masks are also really nice quality and aren't expensive! They're between 2-2.50 per packet.

>Deal with depression for years

>Am literally just a walking, talking, smiling machine that has no purpose to exist
It's been two years and all I do is sit on the internet all day because I have nothing better to do. I have anxiety attacks when I'm in public and can't deal with existing. wat do cgl?

>>7663458

I have a few who say they do, but I am too filled with self hatred to feel it.

>>7663094
>tfw Neil Hainan rebloggednmy Coraline fan art.
>tfw I have no face on my phone.

>>7663425
i agree
which is why i dont buy them anymore. this was a gift from a friend

thats real life advice tho for anyone else that reads this.
since i stopped buying im saving SO SO much more money. its great

>>7662758
Oh hey, I'm pretty positive I know who you are.

Sorry to hear you're going through so much trouble. But if it makes you feel any better I got the dress in the same cut as you and I'm taking it in to get panels added to it because my fat ass can't fit into it either. I'm hearing a lot of bad things about the fit so far, apparently even girls who are within the bust measurements are having issues with it.
Uni will get better too. I had a particularly bad year myself (my first worst year in fact), and the job market is depressing too so I have moments where I ask myself what the fucking point is in all of it. You'll make it, it's just a matter of tolerating a lot of bullshit.

Also happy birthday!

>>7663458
get help

>tfw my 5"4 200lbs roommate has a girlfriend and I don't
>I'm 5"10 145lbs
>He's been with more girls than I have
>Haven't had a real girlfriend since December 2008.
>Spill spaghetti every time I meet a girl

I've come to realize I'm at just the wrong level of attractiveness. Most people tell me I'm a 7 and I get the occasional 8(though I honestly thing they're just being generous) I'm either too good for girls and they seem to think I'm unapproachable(6/10's and lower) and girls 7 and up are never single and I don't seem to be good enough for the girls above 7. I'm consumed by work constantly so I never get a chance to meet new people. I don't know what the fuck to do anymore or how to fix what I'm doing wrong.

>>7663181
you really were a scumbag.

>>7663564
you're a sperg which scares some people.

>>7663564
Stop being such a fucking idiot. Half of your post was about you doing attraction fractions, just fucking stop, it makes you sound like a toolbox.

Also FYI 5'10" 145 is skeleton mode gross bullshit, that's the reason girls don't want you, they look at your nasty stick arms and they get repulsed.

My advice is to start lifting and FIND TIME. Unless your work schedule is literally just the night shift you can easily find time to do stuff with people.

Also, bro, the internet. Use it. I've met girlfriends on fucking 4chan of all places, it's not hard to find people out there.

>tfw no gf

>>7663094
>tfw you're an artist but no one pays attention to you

goes both ways

>ex landlord is a bitch
>fucks me over about moving to a new property even though I already paid because he's a psychotic liar
>claimed it was my responsibility to find him tenants and since I didn't he told me to gtfo
>wait forever for him to refund my check

And don't even get me started about going back to grad next month and how I haven't even started my thesis yet despite it being my final year. It sucks being a mess. I have no self-respect because my existence is supported entirely by parents and student loans at this point.

>>7663602
Hey some chicks dig tall thin guys. Everyone has their preferences. My boyfriend is 6'4" and ~150;bs and I love his body. If he wants to get swole for himself that's fine but I won't make him do it to make me happy. I'm short and fat and he's all over that.

Some people like different body types. Something you find nasty someone else might find sexy as hell.

>>7663564
Maybe because you're beta as fuck? Stop feeling sorry for yourself and gain some confidence. Confidence is sexy as fuck and women are drawn to outgoing, confident men.

Right now, go get naked and stand in front of the mirror and "fuck yeah I'm awesome"

seriously, go do it faggot

>>7663658
I'm a tall skinny guy too, my girlfriend is a tiny 5'1" chubby femlet, I'm just saying if our friend here is having problems then the most likely thing stopping him is being skinny. In the eyes of most women, being skinny is worse than being fat.

My wallet's practically hemorrhaging money because of recent bills/traveling costs and I have stuff I could sell online to make up for it but I'm a huge procrastinator and never get around to it.

Just makes me feel kind of bad because every time I see some overseas clothing on taobao or items I'd like to buy on Rakuten I feel guilt for wanting them.

>>7663672
>being skinny is worse than being fat

I think being a bitter asshole and judging his friends' worth and relationships based on their images is likely his problem here.
>WAAHHH MY FAT FRIEND IS GETTING LAID AND IM NOT, WHY WOMEN, WHY WONT YOU LOVE SUPREME GENTLEMEN LIKE ME?!

>>7663672
I guess. I've always been into tall thin guys, not sure why. I'd personally rather date a scrawny guy than a chubby guy but hey, that's just me. I'm surprised my boyfriend is so into be even though I'm 5'2" and 215lbs. He just really likes fat chicks.

>>7663692
That's a good point.

Got hit with customs for the first time today. I now kind of understand how it feels to be a eurofag.

>mfw I paid way more for my dream dress set than I should have before the customs charges, much less after them

>>7663510
I take medications for in and see a therapist.
I don't think everyone is cut out to live a good life. I am not a lucky one

>no cosplay friends
>no nerdy friends in general
>friends from school live far away

>never even got to do couples cosplay
>going to con alone in august
>tfw lonely af

My boyfriend seems to actually think I'm being a bitch for not wanting to help out my scumbag cousin.

>oh no your cousin says she's having a really rough time and can't even afford food! Maybe we should buy her some groceries!

>she's an alcoholic
>she smokes a pack a day
>she lost her job at one of the easiest fucking locations to work at of a shitty fast food chain
>she's had about eight jobs in the three years I've managed to hold my one job.
>she sleeps around with guys she knows have stds.
>she was sleeping with a heroine addict
>she's covered in shitty tattoos and piercings done in peoples dirty fucking houses.
>she has once again chopped all her hair off and dyed it an array of the worst unnatural colours because she wants to be so punk as fuck.
>she's miscarried two babies because she couldn't stop drinking.

>but I am still heartless for not wanting to help her.

>>7663730
..how is she not dead?

>>7663752
Because life isn't fair and God is an asshole.
>Dem genes bruh. And that tolerance.

Which makes accomplishments in the world for people who put forth dedication and struggle all that more delicious. That being said, I forgive those who look at others with natural talent and become bitterly jealous. I don't necessarily forgive the actions of those people, though...

>>7663752
I wonder that about her and everyone she hangs out with. They used to sit around doing mystery drugs that people left in their house from parties the night before.

>>7662875
You can lose 1-2 pounds a week reasonably.

You can do it anon, believe in the you that believes in yourself

>>7663381
I usually stay at cons for the weekend. Your suggestion is great if you're staying for the day.

>want money to cosplay
>want money for pc upgrades
>no job, so no moneys for any of this
>want to move out by the end of the year, no idea where to move
>trying to finish up online course for school, but I lost motivation within the first week
>have two surgeries coming up within the next month
>feeling inadequate in current relationship for no good reason
>mfw all of this

The list can go on and on, but these have been my major complaints for the last two months.

>>7663730
I'd help by directing her to somewhere she can get help for her addictions.

>>7663752
Only the good die young.
baaaa ba-na-na

>>7663798
Holy shit anon. What are you getting done?

>>7663808
>Billy Joel
>mahnigga.png

>>7663730
Name wouldn't happen to be Brenda, would it?

>>7663803
Family has tried that. She's still young though and doesn't think she needs help. She thinks this is just a "lifestyle" and she just wants to be super cool and hardcore and fuck the system and etc. it's pretty much intervention time and I doubt even that would help. She's so stuck in her mindset.

>>7663724
You can meet people there, I'm sure.

>>7663844
It'll catch up to her once those STDs and years of physical abuse to her body catch up.
It won't be pleasant...

Also it makes me mad that your bf criticizes you for that. WAY to overstep a boundary! And funny how people are so quick to give away money and compassion that isn't theirs...
I'd like to see him live with someone like that.

>>7663724
make internet friends. All my friends are internet friends. Then meet them irl and be irl friends and hang out with them and meet their friends and be friends with them and then you aren't ronery anymore. That's what I did anyway. Hell, I met my boyfriend through an internet friend.

I'm the anon from some threads ago with the annoying destructive family dog I didn't want and can't stand

This just happened
>mom gets upset at me for yelling at the dog to stop drinking out of the toilet "YOU go close the lid then instead of yelling at her"
>"well I'm sorry but simply closing the toilet lid or keeping the trash can out of reach won't teach her anything."
>note the dog still chews up shoes, destroyed a watch that wasn't even on the floor but a table taller than her, gets any stupid small or large thing she can and eats it, runs to the road and doesn't always come back when called for, etc. >"She should be grown out of it by now."
>parents laugh, dad says "....anime"

Yeah cuz that's destructive to other people's property and totally the same thing

>>7663918
Stop disciplining the dog and put everything in your room and keep the door shut. My parents used to yell at me endlessly about disciplining their poor little baby until I went off to college. Now they're stuck with a spoiled brat dog that snaps and won't obey a word they say. They'll figure it out.

>Been secretly working on and carefully planning a cosplay for about 2 months
>Out of nowhere someone starts bragging about doing the same cosplay
>Gets a bunch of attention for that
>The big day; bunch of people talking about her cosplay
>Finally see it, it's some lame closet cosplay, loosely accurate but anyone could buy the pieces.

So catty but I've used it as motivation to make mine all that much better!

>>7663918
You should train her properly. Don't yell, grab her by the back of the neck and hold her down against the ground or flip her over on her back and hold her throat. Looks scary, but it isn't painful and it teaches the dog its place. If your dog is drinking out of the toilet, check if there's enough water and that you're feeding her right, her food pellets should have as high a meat percentage as you can find and less corn, soy and wheat. Tell your parents that talking nicely to the dog won't solve bad behaviour, and don't just yell at the dog because that's useless.

If she's still a big puppy, chewing on things is normal, let's just say I have six gorillion dogs and every single one of them was a puppy at some point. My trainers look like rubbish, and so does some of my underwear.

She might just be bored. Are you taking her for walks enough? Get her one of those dried pig ears or chewy ox hide bone toys.

That's all I can help with off the top of my head, so it is.

>meds help me overcome anxiety and depression
>turns out I'm just lazy as fuck.
>i gotta do something
>eh, whaddayagonnado about it.
>the ride never ends.

I'm incapable of even feeling bad about it. I've got so much ambition but no damn drive.

>>7663672
>In the eyes of most women, being skinny is worse than being fat.
I have literally never met a woman that has thought like this, me included.

>>7663960
I do this and MY stuff has stopped being chewed, thankfully. Really the only thing I "discipline" (just me yelling her name) her about now is drinking from the toilet and barking at literally every mechanical or moving thing because my misophonia can't take it.

>>7663976
Thanks for advice. It's just shitty since I was the only one in the household who opposed getting a dog, and I'm the only one who doesn't want to baby her. I think my mom takes my criticism of the dog and any kind of "discipline" as personal attacks on her. So I honestly don't want to use my time and relationship health on training the dog. And really yeah she IS a big puppy, just a huge dumb 1-yr-old lab, but dammit the past 2 labs have grown out of it all by now.

I would've guessed the yelling was useless but just calling her name from across the house makes it stop and that's all I wanted. She always has water, always has some kind of chew toy or raw hide, and does get daily walks and runs outside. I do feel bad about basically wanting to break her over-energetic nature, but the best solution I think would be to get another dog (plus this would solve the cat chasing problem) and we just can't do that.

I'm never going to own a dog when I get my own place. I greatly dislike them and would be a shit owner anyways.

>>7663968
We've had a few people trying to do secret cosplays and tell people only to have them claim theyre doing it too. Like there's thousands of characters you can do to the same con and leave that project for another.
And I don't see her attention seeking motivating you as a bad thing. Sure the intent of showing her up is there but no one needs to know that.

My own:
>flying out in 12 days for a con
>picked a ridiculous character
>only about an 8th of the way through
>working full time
>currently sitting here browsing instead of working on it
I just lose motivation so quickly with big projects. I really can't understand why

>Made spur of the moment purchase after looking at himekaji style for months
>Bought two liz lisa pieces off of eBay
>Seller has great reviews and seems very sweet and honest about how much the clothes were worn
>Still nervous because this is my first time buying secondhand clothes
>Even more super excited because holy shit jfash
>Can't wait for the clothes to come so I can try them on and see if the quality is really as good as the seller said it would be

>>7664082
Agreed, that doesn't even make sense. The average person, whichever gender, will always pick a skinny minnie over a beached whale if there are no other choices.
Tall lanky guys tend to favor short chubby chicks for whatever reason though.

>>7664111
I pictured you mimicking the movements of the girl on the right and jfc it was so cute.

>>7664128
As a short chubby chick who likes tall lanky guys, I can confirm this is true and fucking awesome.

>>7664137
Hahaha thanks! It's pretty much exactly the movements I made right after I got the confirmation email that my order was placed

>>7664096
Have you considered telling yourself to at minimum sit down for 1-2 hours each day and focus on your costume? Also think about how you'll feel at the con when you don't have a costume ready! :(

>>7664082
I think this. I like bearmodes so I'd prefer my fat guys with an equal amount of muscle but if that's unavailable I'd rather take a bigger guy over a skinny guy. I'm just not attracted to skinny men.

>>7664085
Yeah, you didn't sound like a dog person. Too bad though, they are awesome when trained properly, but yeah, takes lots of time and many pee stains.
To be honest, your parents are kind of shitty for forcing dog responsibility on you even though you didn't want a dog. If my mum did that I'd give her hell for it and refuse to talk to her, a dog is a HUGE responsibility but I'm sure you know that firsthand by now. Also, lots of dog hair unless you have a poodle or a bichon.

Anyway, best of luck finding your own place! Sure seems like the easiest way out of it now.

>Oh hey, I'm pretty positive I know who you are.
A-anon pls

Thanks for the support though. I usually do not have problems with IW but this dress does not have adjustable straps, so I might alter it too. And otherwise, I'll just try for the best. Maybe now that I adjusted mself to Unii life, it will get better.

Thank you very much! <3

I seriously do; so after work (so like 12:30-1am) I at least set up pieces to work on the next morning. I'm currently having trouble waking up so I may do alarms this week. I was smart this time to take 3-4 days off work before flying out to finish last minute pieces. Also; I have my partner in mind to try help me finish because I know I would feel terrible letting her down. I just wish I wasn't so lazy at times like this.
But thanks for the extra motivation; not having a cosplay at an interstate con feels worse than local

This is why I've mostly given up making friends on tumblr. If you aren't gushing compliments and stupid fandom slang, people won't talk to you.
Every time I try to talk to someone about a mutual series or something we have in common I just get an "oh yeah lol same!!" but they'll write paragraphs to people who write things like "you're so cute you're the best ____ cosplayer" or "OMG JEANMARCO MY OTP FEELS he'll come back to life their love is canon!!!"

I'm such a loser. I've only blacked out once before in my life and it wasn't fun then either. mostly i'm just full of a lot of shame and self-hate at the moment and I know it's not going to get better until I forgive myself, but I just...can't do that.

Don't beat yourself up too much about it. We have all been in that situation (and those that haven't will probably experience it at some point in their lives). Just say to yourself that you will do better next time.

>>7664935
Yeah, I'm not letting that happen again. It was a combination of stupid drinking decisions that led to the blackout in the first place. Still sucks though...

>>7664900
As a person who has blacked out more than I can count with the worst outcome being arrested and going to jail, feeling full of shame and self-hate comes with it. You'll get over it and forgive yourself within time, but just be more careful with your drinking 'cause blacking out is the worst shit ever

The anime was pure gold but I've never met any other fans. I've only seen few people cosplaying Lia from d'Eon manga. Her dress in the manga is beautiful but I still hated the manga since it was nothing like the anime. I myself have cosplayed from d'Eon three times already (Lia in red dress, d'Eon in uniform and d'Eon in dress) but I think my life isn't complete until I've cosplayed Maximilien as well even thought I know no one will recognize me.

>birthday gift for gf just arrived

I hope you don't drink alcohol; if you do you're a fucking hypocrite.

If someone can use drugs responsibly (it can be done; get some fucking self control, be educated of what you're ingesting, and keep it in moderation) and without harming anyone else then it's no problem. Obviously it's not a good idea to fuck with opiates or hardcore stimulants.

>>7665046

You're giving me a reason to go rewatch the whole series again for the 3rd time haha! And gosh, Anna as an early cosplay would be a nightmare. I give you props for doing it though!

>>7665031
I'll be honest, I've yet to cosplay anyone from D'Eon. I've been dying to cosplay Robin, maybe I'll finally do it. And I agree, the manga is a piece of shit compared to the anime. It actually annoys me that so many people like to cosplay. But then again I'm a huge history nerd.

D'Eon had a brief phase in cosplay around 2008 or so. There was a good group at Katsucon that year in the masq.

>>7664085
Are you me? I'm in same situation. I just moved in with my step mom and dad and they have 5 dogs. None of them are trained. They're the type of people who see a cute puppy, buy it, and then wonder why it's chewing everything even though they give it no attention.

I even got yelled at when they jumped and chewed up some documents that were on top of our study desk.

>>7665112
Good on you for changing it. My parents flipped the fuck out too when I told them I wanted to change it so I pussied out and didn't

I've got a friend I've known for years who got the mildest bit "cosplay famous" and has done a complete 180 in terms of personality. It's insane.

She is extremely opinionated and will let you know it to the point of violent obnoxiousness (whining about a ship she doesn't like from a movie comes to mine where she said that anyone who liked it was "midless shippers" and "sex-craved horny teenage bimbos". She still whining about it months later) and when told to perhaps not be so mean she deletes people and whines and calls anyone who disagrees with her trolls and "high school drama"

She also enters silly little for fun not serious costume contests online and then bashes on the other contestants do demand more likes.

She hates the word cosplayer and actually thinks people who call themselves that or do anime costumes are somehow beneath her. She's a "costumer" and will write 30 page rants on why people who call themselves cosplayers suck.

If someone else does the same costume and gets more attention she whines and bashes on them claiming they weren't as good as she was or that they over photoshopped themselves or aren't a "real fan" like she is.

She will also take one guy saying something to her and act like she's being attacked constantly by people. She's doing her first male costume where she actually is putting effort into looking like a dude this year, understandably someone asked if the costume was for her boyfriend and she flipped about how she gets "so much shit" for cosplaying men. She threw the biggest diva fit ever about someone asking her for her pattern for something and how it was her "trade secret" and she shouldn't have to and how dare this asshole ask and basically spewed a bunch of insults and profanity and proceeded to call anyone who disagreed with her behavior "trolls" and deleting them.. And just...I get embarrassment from being associated with her now. And I just am so frustrated with her.

>>7665528
Tbh I still feel bad about it. I really wish I didn't have to, I'd be fine with literally any other name than the fugly one I had been given. This way I'm always scared people might find out I was born under a different name and ask questions or make assumptions without knowing the reasons behind it. In my home country people are also very judgmental and it's seen as "weird" and "crazy, so...
But eventually you get used to your new name and forget you were ever named differently. It's a good feel.
pic unrelated

>>7665551
Why don't you tell us your old name?

I dunno if this makes you feel better or worse, but I have a 2nd cousin who's name is Morag (pronounced more-rag), I don't know her well enough to know whether she hated her name or not, but a couple of friends did react a bit WTF when I mentioned the name once.

>>7665549
Tell her the fuck off anon! I believe in you. This is so fucking ridiculous, people do realize that cosplay fame doesn't actually mean anything right? That if stopped producing costumes for a year, she'd be all but forgotten? Then in ten years, she's going to be all but forgotten anyway no matter what she does? That cosplay contributes only slightly more than zero to improve humanity as a whole? That all of this is meaningless anyway because we'll all be dead and forgotten in a hundred years? Bitch needs a reality check.

>>7665566

She didn't used to be this way, she was actually pretty fun to hang around. And she's still not that bad in person but holy crap is her online person just rotten.

All she does is cosplay. She doesn't have a job, lives off her boyfriends money, complains about how she's poor all the time but spends assloads and expensive fabrics and materials.

She literally eats, breathes, and lives cosplay and is so mad she is not Yaya levels of famous. And treats people like dirt, she actually made a friend of ours leave a con party early because she kept shoving her out of pictures and excluding her from group stuff because she wasn't up to par in terms of her costume. She never would've done that before and I want to talk to her about it but at the same time...she'd just blow up at me, call me a troll and delete me. Despite the fact we've known each other OVER a decade. I just needed some place to vent about this because ugh.

>>7665488

>>7665619
Whoops my bad I missed it. My bad

>>7665163
Yeah, it's legit.

I dog-sit my sister's dog. The dog acts shitty because she ignores the poor things so much.
It's basically a pack-dog mentality of dominance, going back to its roots, like dogs would act towards each other in the wild.
When the dog isn't listening or is being shitty, I take him down, pin him down [gently, just so he knows I'm being serious], and look him in the eye, waiting for him to be calm.
When I let go, I don't let him get back up again unless I say "okay", otherwise, I pin him again.

My sister is always elated to get back and find that he actually walks on a leash calmly and will listen to commands.
Of course, he reverts back within a couple weeks, but whatever.

I'm really jealous and bitter of the fact that my friend is a more popular artist than me just because she draws homestuck.

All she draws are gay ships and Her art is pretty meh. She and many people have said that I'm an overall better artist and she's jelly of my skill. Like it gets me really depressed because art is the only thing im really good at, But because i don't really draw fan art im not popular. Like her original work at most gets 0-12 notes (when she has 800+ followers) her homestuck art gets 500-5000.
Its really eating at me on the inside. Im a really horrible person and I want to see her fail and cry. I don't want to see her succeed.

Germany slaughtered Brazil in their game just now.

If they can score 7 goals I can fished this cosplay....

I have an extreme first world problem.
I just broke my favorite ring, and I want to replace it.
I don't want the same one, and I am a one piece of jewelry kind of person when I'm not in lolita.
I can't fucking pick. I want something fandomish related this time I think, all three of these would make me smile, but I only want one.
I could theoretically buy all 3 and switch between them but this is me, I know me, I will put one ring on my finger and never take it off again until it breaks in a few years. It will be a waist of money and I don't need 3.
I'm leaning most toward the rilakkuma one because it is silver and diamonds and will most likely stand up to my abuse best.
But I could be a magical girl.
I really fucking need to pick I use my ring as a fidget toy and without it I am slowly driving myself insane.
So please help.

It's the second time this has happened, I don't mind the date thing so much as how shit my partner gets treated. They asked yesterday for a solo shoot and now there's two more people joining it, which just makes things three times more stressful for the photographer, you don't ask that kind of bullshit at 1AM THE NIGHT BEFORE. I swear to god I'm going to give the next person who asks for a shoot with no notice or some other sort of dumbass bullshit a brand new asshole.

Does he have a website or social media? Tell him he needs to make it clear he's only going to accept shoots a week in advance (or however long it takes) and that he's not going to shoot people that he wasn't told about. He'll need to spam everyone and anyone because people are going to be stupid about it, and he's going to need to put his foot down. Or maybe you could do that for him if you don't think he's going to be able to do that himself.

>>7666292
I've been on at him before about putting that sort of thing up on his social media sites, but he's a bit of a push-over and always worries about scaring people away or pissing people off. I guess I'm just going to have to be the bitch girlfriend and put my foot down for him. Thanks, anon.

Now that I'm older I want to photograph cosplayers- but I have no experience doing so. How do I get experience? I've never taken a good shot of a person before, any tips cgl?

Actually, I kind of like it! I like unusual names, though. And I can definitely see what a pain in the ass this would be, especially with people trying to pronounce it.

My maiden name had a j in it, it's supposed to pronounced like the y in "yes," but no one ever knew to pronounce it this way. My married name is much shorter and easier to pronounce and spell.

Good on you for making the change, and your mom sounds ridiculous.

>>7666351
At what point did I ever say sweet-talking them was the only way to train them out of destructive habits? I only criticized the idea that pulling alpha bullshit on your dog is "legit" and "common fucking knowledge" (common yes but it's based on complete fiction so it's functionally useless). Enjoy abusing your goddamn dog and wondering why the fuck it doesn't listen to you / is afraid of you.

Fellow /an/imal lover, let me tell you it's pointless to try to educate people on this site about proper training methods. Even on /an/.
Also, kind of related, why are so many cosplayers so fucking oblivious to the needs of their pets? I've met more shitty pet owners on the con scene than anywhere else except maybe redneck neighborhoods.

The best way to get a male model on a budget and on the fly is the duct tape method.

Basically, you put a garbage bag on yourself and then litterally have someone duck tape your form over the garbage bag. Once you have a 'mold' persay, the person cuts you out of the form. You tape up the back, fill it with lots of newspaper and voila, a custom mannequin!

To whoever won the auction on LM for Nightmare Rising, good job on stealing my dream dress from me.

And the same shipping option to the US is only $25 ugh. I don't get why the prices are ridiculously high just to ship a little more north, sucks too since I live only an hour away from the border.

Buying dress and bag when on welfare and jobless and no savings for emergencies is not wise.
You likely knew they were overpaying you, did you think you could just keep it?
I don't have sympathy for these things but I'm glad you are seeing a psych, you need to get it together!

Actually I'm really good at saving, from my last job I saved nearly $10,000 in a six month period. I'm studying full time, and sometimes I just need a pick me up so I dip into that savings account and buy myself something.

Honestly had no idea they were over paying me (Apparently they were paying me as a Uni student, instead of as an adult education student the difference is about $5 a week)

>>7662875
I feel this so hard.
I'm only about 10-15 lbs overweight but for some reason its just so gosh darn hard to lose it cuz of my lazy attitude and depression.
Good luck! I'll probably follow in your footsteps anon

I'm too scared to go to comms or even wear lolita in public because I only have one eye.
I'm so worried other lolitas will think I'm an ita weeb for wearing a fancy eye patch.
And I know I would wind up having to explain it because someone would ask if I'm wearing it like for a costume, and it would make them feel terrible for asking when I tell them the truth.
It's so fucking awkward.

as long as the eyepatch suits the outfit, who cares! if it goes with the rest of the coord, and you wear it with confidence, probably no one will call you out on it, and it might generate compliments, if someone does inquire further just say that you need it due to having vision only in one eye, be positive about it and there will be less of a pity filled/awkward environment. You could always go for horror or gothic loli first to try out some eyepatch looks. you can definitely rock it if done right anon!

>>7667027
They will assume a couple things
1. you just made your account
2. you're catfishing.

>>7667036
Thank you kind anon. ;-;

>>7667036
Plus if you wear an eyepatch over the same eyesocket with every single outfit I think people will get the point pretty quickly.

>>7667027
Lots of people keep their friendliest private so no one knows how many friends they have or don't. If I did not have a few good international friends and groups who used FB exclusively, I wouldn't have an account there anymore either.

Smile and say "Well, I don't have vision in that eye so I figured I'd make the best of it with a pretty patch." And I don't think that would be awkward for either party.

Anon I completely relate, I had a friend similar to this who thought she was cosplay and lolita famous because she had 200 likes on Facebook, every part of her personality and social life began to revolve around cosplay and lolita. I tried to her about it around 4 times but every time she'd either throw a pity party or take any criticism as jealousy or me being a 'hater'. I've turned off Facebook chat and skype for her and unfollowed her, haven't made any contact in weeks and I'm a lot happier for it. It's much easier to just slowly drop contact.

>>7667114
>>7667110

>>7667110
Break it off. If he's a NEET and living at home, send a message to his parents saying you think he's suicidal, then cut contact. Your life and happiness come before his in this case. It's not your responsibility to be his lifeline.

>>7667110
I agree with >>7667114

I've been in that scenario two times

If you do decide to break it off with him, my advice is to do it quickly and cut off ALL contact immediately afterwards. Trust me, he WILL try to find a way to communicate later and it will never be pleasant. And don't offer to be his friend either, that never works. In fact it kind of makes things worse.

Stay strong and don't let him try to guilt trip you or put you down.

>>7667197
Restraining order? Dude is a fucking nutcase and the police are already aware of this. Since you legitimately feel unsafe people should understand and you will be able to do something about it.
Also block him on everything if you haven't done so already. Clear things up with mutual friends and dump the ones who side with him because they are fucktards anyway. Especially the one who just dreamed up out of nowhere that you cheated, what the fuck.

>>7667201
I honestly can't stand what it feels like putting one in. I wore one for awhile, and people actually stared at it more than the patch.
I think because it's so uncanny, people stare at to try to figure out if I'm ignoring them or if I have a lazy eye or, oh, it's a creepy fake eye.

>telling a guy who's interested in you how upset you are over breaking up with your bf

To guys this is a warning sign that you can't get over your ex. It was incredibly stupid for you to do that and he had a point in asking why you would be so upset considering how you acted and felt.

Getting drunk and complaining about him to your ex wasn't a smart idea either. Especially since you didn't tell him you were still hanging out with your ex.

So I don't feel sorry for you on that part. You were asking for it honestly.

I don't really believe the police would just leave like that too. Usually they would say that you should keep a record of any calls you get from him and you could file a restraining order against him.

>>7667188
some discipline in that sense is not bad for the dog though, and also won't make the dog afraid of you. Hell we HAVE to do it because our dog stays here to eventually train to be a seeing eye dog.

>>7667207
There are some really, really cool ones.
There not really that expensive either, I just wish I could get over that awful feeling...

>>7667212
>You were asking for it

Did you read the part where he called the police to her house?
Bitch did some stupid shit, but this guy is fucking insane.

>>7667216
Yeah, I didn't mean the entirety of all his butthurt rage.

I meant the part about him not trusting her in the relationship. Otherwise, yeah, the rest of what he did afterwards was awful.

Sadly I read these stories all the time (I study cyber stalking cases) where the stalker will do these terrible things to the victim. I would suggest to the girl to read this book for more info and help if she wants

>>7667212
I fucked up, I know, but I don't think what I did warrants all this shit.
As for the police, yeah, I was surprised by that too. The female officer wanted to examine me in the bathroom, but apparently I assured them well enough that I wasn't hurt. It was pretty obvious I had just been sleeping.
I don't know where you live, but in my state I'm almost positive you actually have to hurt someone before you can get a restraining order.

>>7667203
I've pretty much gotten what friends back that I will, some of them didn't believe me, but I'm not going to push shit, I just want this to all go away.
I would get a restraining order, but I don't think i could, and if I could, I'm scared that would make it even worse.
He's gone away into the wood work, I'm not going to call him back out.

>>7667203
I know my parents are nuts. Already told them some of the shit they pull is illegal. The only response I get is "As long as you live in this house, you have no right for privacy."
They're the kind of people who think parenthood stands above the law.

Don't have the money to get my own place yet. I'll have to put up with it until I finish my studies and find a job. Hopefully I'll be out of this hellhole in 2 years.

>>7667195
Yell no and take whatever it has away and make sure it knows it fucked up through tone

>inb4 "but it dusnt work!"

Jumping straight to physical discipline isn't always the solution

>>7667224
When you finally move out, have them charged with a federal offense (reading your mail). Then show them the international symbol of "fuck you I'm outta here".

>doesn't know how to train dog

You sound like an ita that says "lolita is what you make it there aren't any rules~!"

>>7667230
I still think there's other degrees of discipline to go through before that, though

It all depends on the situation, though, but anon was implying that you go straight to physical discipline which I don't agree with

>>7666621
Fuck Mink.

(Not literally. I hate him though and I judge anyone who likes him SUPER hard.)

>>7667227
I say when it comes go disciplinary dog training do not use the actual word "no". a sharp sound works better, a sharp loud "eh" sound.
You don't have gone mean to the dog, you have to be strict yet fair. Make the dog know you do not accept X behavior and they can't do that. If they do then they get corrected. Don't fold, be consistent. Dogs will test you, so keep bein strict. And you must be the alpha. If dogs do not have a strong leader then they will become their own. But this anon gets it, sweet talking does not work for dogs when they need to be corrected.

>>7667219
Yeah, you're right. I was a little harsh and insensitive in that post so I apologize. I live in AZ so the laws are pretty good when it comes to self defense.

I suggest you read up your own state laws especially castle doctrine laws, and seeing if your state has the stand-your-ground law as well as what you can legally carry for self defense when it comes to weapons if you fear for your safety

Also if the harassment should occur again, you can call the police, inform them about it and ask them what you can do and how you can get a restraining order

>>7667248
Also praising in good times can help the dog stay confident if you're worried about that, and will also help them figure out what is the good behavior

>>7667231
I'm not her, and still nobody cares.
Go cry about it elsewhere.

>>7667252
Yes. And if you notice that you where too harsh and the dog basically breaks down in fear then you have to let the dog know you still love it. Then you use easy sweet talk and slow pets to let know you love it. Positive reinforcement is amazing for teaching acceptable behavior, reward it as soon as it happens. Same goes for corrections. Correct a dog AS SOON as they do the bad behavior. Dogs only live in the moment, they can only relate rewards or corrections to the moment you give them. So punishing a dog after you notice they chewed up your favorite shoes is punishing them for no reason in their mind and it will confuse them and go against trust of you.
Be patient, be fair, be strict and your dog will love you as a leader.

I don't know, I just find him hard to hate for some reason even though he deserves it. pls no bully

>>7667257
>rebuttle

>>7667260
Maybe. He's still kind of a shit in reconnect pulling that Secretary-style ignoring BS though. Idk I see where they were trying to go with the whole "I did what I thought I had to but I regret it now" thing but ehhhhh, I still don't like him.

>>7663436
Haha that's awesome. Actually can't wait for you to post on the feels thread "omg my eyelashes are coming out".
I know the integredients of this low end mascaras. So yeah, great deal you got!

Is it impossible to make friends that just want to hang out and play vidya instead of going bar hopping/clubbing on weekdays or am I just that much of a fag?
I feel bad turning down the one friend I have because I honestly do no have the energy or personality for things like that.

>>7667308
If you're in your early 20s yeah it's impossible

>>7667308
I"ll play vidya with you anon

>>7667317
I'm 21.
So yeah, god damn it.

>>7667326
You might just have to wait until people pass the "i can drink legally wooo let's do it all the time!" phase

>>7662758
I was exactly like this when I had depression. I still managed to get accepted into a fairly good uni and I feel more motivated now. Things will get better, anon! Don't ever give up.

>>7666402
You must not live in the US because you can only be unemployed for a certain amount of time (or have a lot of kids) before they take welfare away. Students do not even qualify for welfare here.

>tfw I'm jealous because I go to school full-time and work but can't afford rent for even the shittiest apartment

>>7667197
Try to get him charged with criminal harassment as well as public mischief for fucking around with the police (not sure what the American equivalents of those charges are, I only know the Canadian names).

>>7667308
make new friends at cons, people with similar interests

>>7667330
this so hard
funny enough I got over the whole drinking every weekend, bars, clubs phase right when I hit 21. have yet to even buy alcohol legally

then I realized the only things I had in common with all my friends were partying, alcohol and drugs so I dropped them

and now I hang with the nerds I met at cons

>>7663436
>better than sex
Urban decay has good product, but what a shitty product name.

>tfw sex sucks to me
>tfw anything is better than that

They should have called it better than food. Would have make more grillz dreaming. but well I forgot we live in a whore society where everyone is supposed to enjoy fucking and do ity like a porn actres and bleach their asshole.

>>7667021
only 1 q for you: why the f aren't you doing guro?

also, eyepatches in lolita exist and are a thing, I actually just bought a white one with roses on it from AatP. Rock your no-eye.

>tfw the janitor cleaned up this thread because of all the dog drama
>tfw not enough time to make or commission a cosplay for the next con so forced to walk around in clothes like a normalfag

do people still talk to you if you're in clothes or are you just another face in the crowd?

>>7667301
Not that person, but what ingredients would cause that?

>>7667301
Your English is piss poor for one thing.
>of this low end mascaras
If you're going to say the 'chemical will make my eyelashes fall out', then do us the favor and state which chemical oh so 'intelligent' McCunty.

Secondly, here's the list of ingredients as according to Boots, the maker of said product.

EXCEPTIONAL DEFINITION MASCARA - ALL SHADES
Aqua (Water), Cera alba (Beeswax), Silica, Paraffi n, Polyurethane-34, Glyceryl stearate, Copernicia cerifera (Carnauba) wax, Butylene glycol, Stearic acid, Palmitic acid, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl acetate, Methylparaben, Aminomethyl propanol, Xanthan gum, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hydrolyzed soy protein, Ethylparaben, Hydrolyzed keratin, Panthenol, Sodium benzoate,
Sorbic acid, [+/- (May contain) CI 77499 (Iron oxides), CI 77492 (Iron oxides), CI 77491 (Iron oxides).]

Now, the chemical I can tell that is most 'controversial' are the two parabens. There is evidence of paraben sensitivity, BUT it was proved by US National Library of Medicine & National Institutes of Health that these Parabens do not have many adverse affects.

>Acute toxicity studies in animals indicate that parabens are not significantly toxic by various routes of administration. Subchronic and chronic oral studies indicate that parabens are practically nontoxic.

If you'd like read up on my source, which is a proper source and not just some shitty beauty site, feel free to.

Now, you got any 'smart' retort, cunt? Or are you gonna fuck that up too?

>>7667652
Holy shit the blowup

>>7664921
Fuck you.

>>7667033
Congrats anon!

>I wish I could do the same.

>new comm pops up in my area
>join
>tfw everyone in the comm save for a handful of people is a ita or super new and inexperienced
>tfw only like two or three of the girls going to an upcoming meetup aren't itas
>lots of special snowflakes

I can't decide if I should leave the group or go to the meetup, try to dress as well as I can, and attempt to lead by example. I don't really want people to consider me an ita by association, but one of my friends is in the group and I don't wanna abandon her. Wat do?

>>7664921
>offered money
>reject money
>sad I didn't take money

go brag somewhere else

>>7667733
if there's super new and inexperienced people, then stay and lead by example and help people work out the problems, or find some other experienced people to help make the comm better

>>7667699
>>7667739
You have no clue what pride is, do you? Accepting money from other people usually means something in any sort of relationship. I think rejecting the money was a very good choice.

>>7667759
fuck pride take the money

>>7667759

I agree it is an issue of pride but doesn't change it from being a problem most people wish they had.

>>7667759
It's their Grandpa

what the fuck is there to be prideful about

and why in the hell would they reject money and then whine about it like people will sympathize

>>7667778

Doesn't matter who it is from. Some people want to succeed on their own.

You can smash your face against a game and take hundreds of hours to beat or cheat and finish in 10 mins.

>>7667792
>want to succeed on their own
then maybe they shouldn't whine-brag to a board that's full of people who want shit tons of money

>implying gifted money is cheating
I don't feel bad for your whiny "i'm too rich :'C" feels

>>7667778
It's hard to resist that kind of thing, she's right to feel proud that she valued her independence over accepting the handout.

>>7667798
It's not their fault there are so many jelly little poorfags. Family money and the control that comes with it is sometimes really hard to bust out of. I think she did well.

>>7667798
idk, I just think being steadfast like that makes you question yourself sometimes - it is a lot of money and of course you might wonder/regret. I think namefag's feels are justified, even if they don't gather much sympathy.

>>7667803
>continues whiny "i'm too rich :'C" feels

>>7667803
> oh no I'm rich do you know how hard that is

fuck off

inb4 janitor cleans up this thread again cause of new grandpa money drama

>>7666316
Go anyway. You will likely make some friends there and then you can cosplay with them in the future.

>>7666289
Look at pix to decide which styles you like, then buy magazines and find forums/posting places by searching tags.

>>7667803

This is probably bait but... As someone who grew up poor with extraordinarily controlling and neurotic parents, I would like to say fuck you.

>>7667823
So her problems are different from your problems, but they aren't less valid. Money solves a lot less than you think it does sometimes and families who use the $$ to control can be a nightmare.

>>7667807
But that's the funny part, she refused the money so she's NOT rich.

>>7667829
>still whiny "I'm too rich :'C" feels

>>7667817

What if everyone I try to talk to turns and walks away?

>>7667839
cgl meet ups at the con

>>7667833
>wealthy family
>confident in ability to easily pay off student loans
>whines about gifted money

how does that not sound like a rich person

>>7667839
It's a possibility but unlikely. Go to the panels or games in the gaming room that interest you. Likely there will be others sharing the interest and you may make new friends. It may take a con or 2 to get in with a gaming or cosplay crowd but that's how lone people usually get into it, by going out to meet those who share the interests.

>>7667843
She refused the family money.
Since when does the validity of someone's feels depend on their financial status, that's nonsense.

>>7667652

>>7662802
Wow fuck your twin.
I have a brother who does this shit with my art supplies.
As soon as I make something he gets angry at me for "wasting" it yet he never buys his own shit and never even makes anything.

I should buy some more staple pieces and save up, but I keep getting distracted by other shit I want that has nothing to do with the hobby, like fast-food, books, clothing I don't need, ect.

Also I feel pretty clueless when it comes to accessorizing coords
I feel shit out of luck since I feel uncomfortable going "CROSSES. CROSSES AND ROSARIE" for all my gothic coords. I'm worried if I do simple but elegant jewlery, I won't be a tru goff and I'll just be a bland bitch

Do you guys think people would get tired of me posting basic coords in the help thread and asking other people to help me accessorize? I feel like it's cheating or something

>tfw brolita
>tfw I tell anyone they just think I'm a creeper
Can't I just like cute clothes :'(

>>7663692
>supreme gentleman
10/10 lol'd

>>7665503
Exactly! I considered making a separate fb for my cosplay, but it seems like way too much work, honestly. Plus, since she'll be rooming with me, it's not like I can hide my weeb tendencies for long. Just hope I don't scare the girl too badly, haha.

>>7665516
They're actually eating, haha. Aren't they so cute though? Miorin's face is priceless. Sayaka's face is pretty great, too.

>>7667033
congrats!!

>just getting into lolita
>bjd want coming back to punch me in the face
>will never be baby starts will never shine bright unless I buy shitty resinsouls and leave them naked forever or leave bjds
>will be stuck in bodyline for life if I continue working on my dolls
>mfw I'm 18 and a college student with little cash and this is all my own fault

>>7667799
>>7667856
I really doubt their idea of "making their own way"/lifestyle of independence is anything like that of someone who truly is only relying on themselves.

>>7668745

It isn't, but at the very least, it is better then taking the handouts.

>>7668768
nahh

I'm getting so tired of tumblr emphasizing shitty fandoms and all the ooc fan stuff they make

It's like people only see the pictures, and then decide to make entire stories and jokes that don't make sense if you actually know who the characters are

>want to have a huge, nice wardrobe
>have enough money to get decent stuff
>live with family still
>5 younger siblings that ruin everything
>thieving older sister that sells everything nice she gets her fat hands on
>older brother that smokes weed in our room all the time
>only have one coord that I have to keep hidden in a locker in the closet
I'd rent a tiny storage space, but I don't really want to have to drive halfway across town every time before getting dressed up

>>7668768
They already accepted like $12,000, and they're worried about accepting more? This is why I say fuck them.

>made a costume with french darts
>thick fabric
>tfw flash photography makes really unfortunate nipple-like shadows on most of the photos

I didn't notice it was so god awful until after the con :<
