shit like this happens all the time, I'm just refusing to go to cons with him at all at this point. I used to hang out with him at them but he spends half the time going out to his car to get high. I like smoking weed sure, but what's the point of paying to be there and not even enjoying anything? this wasn't even all the details, and I used to room with him at cons and had to stop that too because he's an even shittier roommate. I'm thinking about just dropping him as a friend at this point, I was so pissed off. thanks for letting me rant.

When I was younger I could eat whatever I wanted and still maintain my weight with ease, these days I have zero control and I feel like everything makes me balloon up. I don't know if it's age, stress or my birth contol (3 years on the injection) but I just feel disgusting all the time and I hate it so much. I hate the feeling of my clothes getting tighter and my burando is getting to the point of not fitting as well. It's hard watching what I eat because my household shares cooking responsibilities and it's impossible to work out in my apartment because it's so small. I've joined a gym but it's hard when my bf promised to go with me but never does and the people in the weights room are super intimidating...it's hard to get motivated when you feel like everyone is laughing at you...I'm going on a diet this week as my co-worker lost about 10kg on it...please don't let me become a chubby-chan

>>8198421
Sharing your feels.

This basically happened to me. I could eat a ton of shit when I was in high school and then when I turned maybe 20, I started gaining weight. It was weird for me to watch what I was eating.

I ended up losing maybe 25? lbs. over a two year period, off and on. I didn't do it the healthiest way -- most of it is attributed to some meds I'm on, not eating a lot, etc. I did do some small things like cut out soda, beer, stopped eating a fuck ton of pasta.

I still feel like whatever I do is not enough, though. I want to keep losing weight.

That's how I felt in the beginning, anon-chan. Clothes actually make up 50% of my anxiety. If I work out in a t-shirt and shorts, I feel better. If I work out in a tight shirt mean for the gym and yoga pants, I see every imperfection in my body and feel like everyone's judging me. Maybe try wearing something different?

Also, please do try to get your bf to come along, even if you have to spring a surprise work out day on him.

>>8198421
>All these excuses

Nothing good ever came easy

So I somehow managed to lose a decent amount of weight this past week (probably due to stress and not entirely healthily but), only to gain half of it back between going to a friend's party and eating an unnecessarily large brunch. It's annoying because I thought I'd finally break the 10-pound mark, but I guess it's not meant to be. Maybe I can hope that the next two weeks will be similarly stressful so I can re-lose that weight.

If you guys want to lose a lot of weight, just go on a low carb diet like Atkins. Your body doesn't need a ton of sugar and carbs to function, just give it other things instead. I lost 20lbs in 3 months or roughly that amount on Atkins. You don't have to have a lot of space to exercise either. Just follow instagram fitness pages, preferably mommy fitness ones, and they post in-room exercises all the time.

I'm not sure if youre set on some particular dress, but if you are strapped for cash and want to by brand, sufficient stalking of the comm sales, closet child and egl should get you a good deal.

I don't want to sound condescending, I just have been where you are and I'm the type of person who is willing to put the work in for brand quality. I've bought several IW skirts for less than 40 and several brand dresses for less than 70. just watch and be patient (and wait for after lucky packs are shipped/opened)

>>8198421
>I've joined a gym but it's hard when my bf promised to go with me but never does and the people in the weights room are super intimidating...it's hard to get motivated when you feel like everyone is laughing at you
As someone who goes to the gym and has for quite a while >>8194032 , you're really over thinking it, and that's normal
This might sound harsh but no one there actually cares about you as much as you think. I certainly don't. I might take a glance for one second but that quickly disappears before I reflect on my form and go through my mental prep for the next set.
The people who care most and are the most self-conscious/judgmental are very often the ones who are new or out of shape themselves.

Ironically I've found it's the biggest and strongest looking folks you come across who are the least likely to judge you, because they've been there so long, seen so many people just like you, and know firsthand how hard it is because we've all been there.

At the very least, nothing will change if you do nothing about it. No one said it would be easy, they said it would be worth it.

How the fuck does this shit hole expect people to live there lives?
Making doctors appointments? I'm that person you hate because I always fucking cancel/postpone. I'm trying to get a new GP right now and I am having no luck because nowhere is excepting appointments for new patient that are not made a month in advance and my upper managers are dickheads.
Don't get me started on fucking real vacations. Last min jacked up prices plane tickets? Not on what you fucking pay me, assholes.

I want to whine about how sad I am on facebook but I can't because it's really out of character for me and I'll just delete it tomorrow and I'll be embarrassed.
Shit even that sounds satirical but it's not.
I am just really really sad. I hate my life and I want to die and I want somebody to talk to about it god damnit.

Yeah, I fucking do and I'm just trying to say she shouldn't feel bad for something she can't help.
Or do you want me to start shitting on her and telling her she'll never look good in frills too?
Because that's what you're doing.

>>8199362
She wasn't shitting on her at all, anon. As a 5'11 former lolita, they're both right, tall girls look odd in lolita, barring a few brands/pieces, because torsos and loooong legs. It's just a fact, and has nothing to do with tall girls not being kawaii or 'the shit' or something like that.
>getting this mad over someone mocking you
>getting this mad at all
You need to calm down.

>>8199362
Its hard to find a dress where the skirt is covering the knees. Anything above it makes it seem like ageplay or trying to "sexy" up a fashion which isn't supposed to. Tall girls have it hard and saying thins like we shouldn't feel bad just makes us want to cut our legs off

>>8199369
>>8199370
What the fuck do you even want me to say at this point.
That tall girls look bad in Lolita and be rude?
That they don't and lie?
Would it please you if I just deleted my posts?

>saying thins like we shouldn't feel bad just makes us want to cut our legs off
Okay, then you look stupid in frills and shouldn't even bother because you'll never be kawaii.
That make you feel any better?
It fucking shouldn't.

>>8199387
Facts are facts, get over it.

It sounds like you need to hang out with mature people who can deal with stuff that's not sugar coated to hell.

>>8199370
Sympathies. I don't Lolita, and I'm not what people would call "tall". But my proportions are wonky. I'm too thin for my height, so finding *anything* that fits decently is a nightmare.

It's either too wide, or too short. So, I can just imagine the difficulties of a genuinely tall girl trying to wear fashion designed with a shorter demographic in mind.

Best of luck

>>8199389
All I said was
>tall girls are the shit yo
I didn't reference frills because I understood this you bitch.
I was referring to how being tall isn't something to be ashamed of.

A more accurate statement would be that most Lolita looks odd on tall girls, not the other way around. The style itself is fine so long as you scale it properly.

I know I should just tell her to fuck off if she bothers me at the next event, but I'm afraid she'll go crying to some of the SJW comm members about it. Shit will go down no matter what I do.

>>8199779
If it were me, I would tell every friend you have in the comm that your non-lolita stalker joined and to watch out for her. Send proof of messages if you think they need convincing (and hopefully they'll tell other people too). You want to get the word out early so that she can't perma-root herself in and/or spread lies about you before you have the chance to tell the truth. Don't let her shame you out of going to meets; worst case scenario you can just post a huge compilation of her emails/messages as proof.

Not exactly /cgl/ related but it has to do with money.
I hate the south so much. I feel like you get stuck here also because of the shitty pay rates so it's hard to move.
Just because I'm still in college doesn't mean I deserve to be paid less that federal minimum wage Khols.
I'd rather stay at my $8/hr job and work ungodly hours into the night than get paid $7.20/hr and deal with shit customers all day. Like you couldn't even afford to pay at least 5 cents more to make it federal minimum wage.
Ugh I want to finish college asap.

Oh jesus christ thankfully not that bad. The barber just went really scissor happy on the sides and then jelled the top up into some awful little...thing on his head. It's probably not even that bad on some people maybe but his face shape and eyebrows/facial hair made it look full creeper.

He had sent me a pic first thing in the morning right after he'd gotten it cut and hadn't yet shaved any facial hair or anything, and left me to stew over it all day wondering how to bring it up or not. Turns out he knew it was terrible and was just trying to mess with me, didn't think i'd actually get that wound up over it. Thankfully it looks a lot more decent now that he's shaved and washed out all the product too

>in hindsight i probably should have realised when he captioned the picture "so this just happened"

>>8199825
Learn from all us canadian anons, when you list something, incorporate a bit of the shipping cost into the main price when you list it. People are often willing to pay $10 more on the price of the dress, but if they have to pay $10 more on shipping they think it's just unreasonable and get cold feet

The :/ was because I was expecting her to be really mad but she wasn't, not because I'm unhappy with the amount of money she gave me.

>>8200317
Don't you people ever check your bank account before buying something? Takes only a minute to find out if you actually have the money for the things you want. Thinking you have the money without verifying it first will come back to bite you in the ass.

Anyway, if you're not going to play those games, why not sell them? If you can get back most of that 150$, it'll already be a big help.

Looking at the amount of money next to your ID isn't enough. Checking your bank account also means looking at your latest transactions. If Buyee had charged you, it would've shown up on your account activity.

No no it was some really shitty one called "the hitch hiker" definitely western made. Everything about it was such poor quality. All things considered, I just have to assume he has bad taste with his porn, or 3d model porn is mostly shit.

Not out of dislike for the person, but I don't act the same way at cons as I do outside. I don't see the point of giving out my contact info when it would be like hanging out with a different (more boring) person.

The anon that posted that story here and honestly, it wasn't me that was mad at Vic, it was the voice actor guests. I just found it hilarious and shocking to hear them talking so openly about it. It's not about what the attendees think about Vic, it's more or less what the staffers and guests feel about Vic. They notice his ego and they hate it. Attendees don't see the shit that Vic does. Staffers do and it's coming back to haunt him. It's pretty sad when fellow voice actors even go "Vic needs to take a step back from ego and examine his life. The guy has some issues."

During Akon I was like 170 something. It's the same cosplay. I've been slacking off hard on my diet since I went on vacation but I'm back now so I'm starting it again.

>>8200866
Just a bunch of 90's ToyBiz X-Men. They've been out of production forever now so I wouldn't have been able to get them from Amazon or /toy/ BST.

your new best friend

I feel like shit. I've been adjusting the antenna / building upper-body strength / calling down for more mayo / dating Rosie Palm and her five sisters / fondling my flagpole too much over the weekend and now the skin on my head is dry and torn in a few places. Can't even pull it down without hurting.

Times like these I wish I were Jewish.

>>8201161
start telling her you're buying more and more cringeworthy shit and see how far she'll go with it. post pics

>Make ultimatum for myself: If you don't do cosplay stuff today, you work out, and vice versa
>Tell myself this everyday
>Workin' out and feeling great, choose exercising because I'm afraid of messing up cutting or sewing
>.. none of my cosplays are going to get done
I know I have to get them done, but as a chronic fuck-up I'm always terrified of cutting pieces in case I do, in fact, mess up majorly.

>>8201194
>"..more and more cringeworthy shit"
i..is the stuff i'm buying already cringeworthy?
i would love to do that but i'd rather just spend the money on accessories and stuff tbh

>>8201332
>>8201194

lol i'm tired and i realized too late that you said to tell her im buying stuff, not to actually buy it. i would do it if i were evil enough but unfortunately i feel guilty just thinking about it

>>8201332
I know you said your reasons for hanging out with her are complicated but it's just like why don't you just ditch her? Or at least ask her about it? Maybe I'm just too aggressive or easily annoyed but that shit's aggravating as fuck. Too middle school-y. And creepy.

>>8201332
Nah, you've got good taste anon, I was mostly joking anyways but meant like gradually getting (or pretend to get) slightly things one by one until you just happen to tell her "oh my god i'm so excited for my mr.yan body pillow i'm gonna make it into a skirt" or something equally horrific and see if she does it, you feel me? You don't even need to buy the things, just have some fun and see how far she'll go with it; when she catches on it'll be the perfect opportunity to discuss that it was weirding you out

>>8201342

Don't let them bother you, at this point if they're actively trying to make fun of your happiness than their opinions are irrelevant, there's no reason to listen to someone who's a fan of baseball when your passion is football, as shitty as that analogy is.

I feel like I'm finally putting together the pieces that I may have a Grandma Seagull.

I have this friend I've known for like 12 years. She's been slowly turning into a cunt ever since she became Mormon though. Like ugh I can't stand being around her any more.

Plus, I've noticed a trend in her boyfriends. The past 5 have literally been dude versions of me. They've all been cosplayers and gamers and fellow gulls. I think I got along with them better than she did since she hates nerdy shit. It's weird. Creepily, two of them even looked like me, and her new one cosplays some of the same characters I do. A couple of our friends joke that she has hidden lesbian feelings for me or something.

>>8201338
yeah i'm pretty annoyed with her too. as said before it's really complicated and i wish i could just ditch her but i cant, i'd have to tell you guys a whole backstory haha but i hope you can understand that i really cant get rid of her for a lot of reasons.

>receive a bunch of fairy kei clothes I ordered for summer

>lol yeah sure whatever
>they won't quite fit and she's forcing the zipper

>try to tell her that maybe it's because she's twenty pounds heavier and a little wider than me
>"DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT WEIGHT!!! YoU'RE SO AWFUL!!!"
>mfw she storms off because of this
I wouldn't be pissed if it weren't for the fact that I paid for the clothes myself and since she's under 18 she's going to receive around 2k from my mother's disability claim. Plus she's been pulling the "you're fatshaming me for not being able to fit into your clothes" thing a lot lately and I don't need this right now.

>>8201553
If my sibling did shit like that to me, I would make them pay you back fully, including an estimated shipping.

I pay for my own clothes too and that would deeply upset me because I don't walk into their room and put clothes on my body that obviously won't fit.

Also, your sister needs to learn from looking at something it won't go. It's one thing if it looks like it could and the cut is just wrong but if it seriously looks too small, don't even try.

>>8201553
If you know she wouldn't fit in your clothing you shouldn't have let her try to squeeze into them.
> anon can I try this on?
>oh sorry no that needs to be washed (ect)

No need to flat out call her a fatty just make something up and keep your clothes in your closet.

Side note she probably feels embarrassed for ripping your shorts and that's why she's being unreasonable. You should talk to her about it.

>>8201574
Yeah I'm planning on catching her when she's in a better mood for her to pay me back. In her defense, we wore the same clothes for years but I've been steadily losing weight while she's gaining it. Still no excuse to force the zipper like that though, especially since it was edging on too small for me.

>>8201582
Like I stated earlier I'm not used to clothes not fitting the both of us which is why I initially let her try them on but when it was evident it didn't fit I asked her to take them off. You are right though, I tend to be abrasive sometimes, and I'll talk to her about it later when she calms down (it takes her a while). I just get very exhausted by the almost constant 180s in her attitude towards my clothes ("jfash is ugly" "please let me try on your clothes" "these are cheap garbage you didn't need them anyways")

>>8201619
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you didn't get super into wearing j fashion until you started loosing weight. She probably thinks the clothes you have are cute but 1) resents you for getting fit and by comparison making her feel like the ugly duck 2) admires the clothes but feels that it's for "skinny girls", which was in her mind proven when she ripped your shorts. She forced them on in an attempt to prove to herself the gap between you guys weight wasn't so big and is upset because that just isn't true. She'syounger right? I don't know about her but I idolized my big sister I wanted to look just like her. If she feels you are "fat shaming" her then she's probably feeling super vulnerable about her looks, regardless if you put her down or not. Let her cool off and then try and build her up a little. Maybe go shopping together for clothes her size that flatter her.

>>8201664

Whoa, we got a psychologist in here?

tldr Your sister is a cunt, go break her stuff so she knows how it feels.

>>8201664
Well dude u guessed mostly wrong. I didn't get into jfash until I got a job, which was well before I lost my weight. Doesn't really matter either way since we're both in the lower 100's and 5'7", and I'm pretty sure she's just heavier than me because she has the time to eat during the day and I usually just dick around on my phone during my lunch break so I'm in no way fit, I just wasted away a bit. I do understand the looking up to me bit though in a way, my mother said that's probably the reason for her surly attitude. Anyways, we'll probably go shopping in a few days since it's spring break at the moment, it's her favorite thing in the world to do, and we both need retail therapy dearly.
>>8201675
She can't take what she dishes out, ever. I'll just wait till she pays me back or take the money myself.
Pic is unrelated, I just like to keep a chill vibe.

Vic FiletMignon is the biggest asshole in anime, hands down.

Put my first coord together today and I looked horrible. I invested so much time and money into this first coord to make sure that it was perfect for my first meet and I end up looking like ita trash. Theoretically it'd look good but everything just fits so....poorly. I didn't realize that my shoulders would look so unreasonably broad in a puffy blouse and that the waist of the jsk would sit on my ribcage also making me look bigger...Maybe I should just give up on my kawaii lolita dreams and go back to 50s vintage because this morning...I felt so ugly and bitter that I tried and failed so badly...I love the style so much but for now I think I might look at things that are not sweet, maybe sell the blouse and jsk for something more in my comfort zone like classic. Has anyone got their dream dress before and it just...sucked? I feel so upset that my dreams have been crushed after so much

>>8202149

i just wanted to be cute...

>>8202170
How big a ribcage are we talking, here? I have some baby jsks that could accommodate a 34" ribcage. That aside, you can still be kawaii.. just kawaii in custom sizing! Take heart knowing that you won't be one of those women looking like a stuffed sausage in their precious burando.

I feel like absolute shit. I'm really into special effects makeup and want to make a career out of it. I know it's really hard and not much will come out of it, but besides cosplay, it's my passion.

And fucking stupid me forgot that Monsterpooloza was coming up. I was looking forward to going and maybe try to get some networking and connections going. Plus Michael fucking Gross is going to be there. But because I forgot, I can't go. It's this weekend, and while I have the money for a ticket, I have no ride. I can just suck it up and wait for Son of Monsterpooloza but it's not the same. Ugh.

>>8202170
oh no anon that's so terrible! maybe if I tried to make my own dresses I might have better luck. After hearing that I can't give up!!

Nah, before pic was a badly fitted push-up bra because I was ashamed of my saggy fatty boobs. I'm in a proper bra now but don't worry anon, I'll get them back for you

>>8202149
It's only your first coord. Expecting it to be perfect when you are a beginner is really unrealistic.

No matter how much you study up before, this is why practice trumps theory. No matter how much people sit on the sidelines and 'learn' before jumping in, actually doing it is different.

I think your situation is far more common than you realize, most people just don't admit it. Lolita is harder than it looks or the ita threads would be shorter. Keep at it, try again, replacing the things that don't fit, double check measurements, read reviews more closely, etc.

>>8201190
I feel your pain.

>overdrew my account because I put 150 000Y instead of 15 000Y into my deposit for FJ

>worried it will reach the end of the month before the money is back in my bank so they'll charge me overdrawn fees
How could I be so dumb.

>>8202149
Don't worry, it happened to me too. I checked measurements 20 times, ordered the same dress and blouse the model was wearing and it looked disgusting on me, like a fat kid trying to fit baby clothes. It turns out the cut of the JSK and the neckline of the blouse didn't work with my body shape, so it was a total loss. I felt fat and ugly and cried over that coord for two days because I didn't understand why I looked so horrible. Recently I bought a new dress that compliments my body shape much more, and I ddin't feel so devistated about lolita. You just gotta keep an eye out for the cut of the dress, find what works best for you and stick with it! Instead of puffy blouses, look for ones with a simple collar or cut that you know works best with other fashion you wear (square collar, stuff like that) and work with your body, not against it trying to look like what you think you need.

>tfw trying to diet so i can cosplay

Mexico and Australia have both surpassed America for fatness, and britain is tied.

I wonder how long it will take this "Americans are the ONLY fat people in the world" meme to catch up.

>>8202524
Cravings aren't actions nor portion sizes. And there is plenty of sources of fat and sugar that are still better than kfc.

>>8202539
The only Mexican girl who posted on çgl/ was the cute and pure Lobitah, who was also white.

There's also only one Australian girl on /cgl/ I know and she's cute too.

>>8202537
Nah, I haven't had takeaway in ages before this, and I'm not American anyway.
I've burnt 150 cals on my bike and am taking a small break before another lap, aiming for 300/350 cals. I didn't mean to cause such a drama though, I'm just disappointed in myself since I want to cosplay cute slim characters.

Anything and everything I qualify for pretty much

I just finished 50% of a leather armor made of six pieces after hours of work and a dozen needles in my fingers. Then noticed that it looks like shit.
The whole thing doesn't fit snugly to my waist anymore because the leather I used is too stiff. Thought I could save it, but nope.

That was about 3 weeks - month ago, haven't made contact since, she's been irregular with actually showing up. Any advice on how to initiate further conversation? I've thought about asking what she thinks she'll go to at Momo but the schedule's not out yet, or how the projects are coming along.

You people are literally too stupid. I said nothing about her not being on the show. My comment was about how I dislike cosplays of her in general and how the usual people who cosplay the gender swapped characters are usually insufferable.

>>8204278
thankfully it turned out not to be so bad once he washed and brushed it out better + shaved (see >>8200136), so problem solved thankfully!

>Renji from Bleach or Shikamaru as pineapple haircut
I think i would've just burst out laughing and accepted it completely
when he first got home it just honestly looked like that awkward pointy (pic related) Mii hairstyle. But with a wide forehead, bushy eyebrows, lots of facial hair? oh lordy not flattering.

>>8204337

Man, I know I did.
Fuck, there were things about her that were far from perfect. I just don't give a shit, cause I can put up with a lot.

I'm really fuckin annoyed though, cause we got along damn well, and had damn similar interests.
Am I supposed to shy away from thinking about her? There's a lot of things she had/did that I love. But am I supposed to say it, or just repress every thing I remember about her?

>>8204332
>won't let her date a "not christian enough" boy

This seems very strange to me.

>>8204182
Or not, because I would do the same thing for my bf and he clearly does not have a vagina.

>>8204498
It's really not tbh. That's how my parents were when I was growing up. So long as I looked modest in the characters I played they didn't care.

This, I don't understand how people can think that cosplaying is haram or whatever. Especially if you aren't dressing like a thunder slag and it's clearly a costume.

My parents let me wear all kinds of crap as long as it covered the shoulders, had no cleavage and wasn't above the knees, and they're more backwards than Mormons.

I do the exact same thing eh. Cross-dressing at cons. And I think there's a sort of double standard. Which is why it's harder as a boy to find someone okay with it.

That Christian thing is bullshit though. I told her I was brought to church growing up. I suspect it's a crappy excuse.

i've been self conscious about my face for, basically forever, and this year i scheduled two photoshoots. it's the right kind of push that i need to overcome my issues but i'm so scared that i'll get photos back and undo whatever progress i've made on tolerating my appearance.

>>8205133
I wouldn't really consider myself giant but my proportions, voice and whatnot are all unmistakably male.

I feel the same way and constantly worry about not matching my bf financially or in terms of maturity. I'm 22 but had a strict upbringing, so only just starting to do 'teenage things' like stay out late. He's 26 and far more independent than me. I worry he'll get bored or see me as a liability/burden like a child.

>>8206432
>>8206477
Thanks anons. You're all awesome.

>>8199370
You could look so cute in otome and gyaru though. I think lolita dresses look the cutest when they hit mid-thigh on tall girls, even though at that point it's not lolita it's still kawaii as fuck. Don't feel bad about not looking good in lolita because you're tall because that tallness will make you look amazing in nearly every other fashion. Long legs are the ultimate elegance.

>tote with wigs I had stored outside got rain water inside. All the wigs now smell gross.

I'm hoping I can save the wigs. None of them had mold or anything on them. They just stunk. Thankfully none of them were restyled or for specific costumes.

One of my best cosplay friends who I rarely ever get to do projects with due to distance and varying schedules wants me to cosplay this with her. I'm pretty pear shaped and even though I've lost weight I still have a belly and I think even reasonably skinny girls would struggle with this costume. She has already made a lot of progress with her May's Pokemon show outfit so I can't talk her into something else. What do anons? I'm still losing weight but I don't think enough will be gone in two months.

>>8206910
This character is also pear shaped. What about a spandex skin-colored unitard underneath for coverage and support? Depending on how much you really need to lose, a low-carb diet could peel off 10 or so pounds in 2 months without being unhealthy. But will your cosplay still fit?

>>8206946
If we are indeed talking about the same person then yeah, she doesn't really care much about body types, just how well you make it. It's my own confidence issues I need to get over.

>>8206969
So make it and work it, anon! I feel self conscious when I'm cosplaying with confident friends, too, but best friends love you and want to have fun with you in costume!

>>8207025
'Aromantic' sounds like she's trying to find a gentle way to let you go, Anon. If you aren't physically with her and she can't feel romantic attraction, what else besides friendly companionship is left?
But if you are facing poverty and an army tour, you probably should focus on these rather than cosplay? Everyone changes in 2 years, you'll just have to wait and see what you become.

>>8207031
I think (or hope) she's legit, because she's always been against the whole tumblr SJW/transtrender bullshit.
>>8207047
I hope not. She was the one that initiated the relationship in the first place.
Thank you for your kind words, though. I kinda need to get my shit together.

>>8207025


Hey gull, former Army guy here. You need to move past that girl. It doesn't matter what she claims is the reason she is distant. It is bad for you. You already are going to be gone 50-70% of the time in the field or deployed or something stupid in garrison. Having a mental drain like that will bring you down to shitbag levels and your Army life will suffer horribly from it.

Good luck gull.

>>8202837
Don't worry so much, just go with the flow. As a former 20 year old, I can say being 25 is really not as different as it had seemed it would be.

>>8207121
this, and the army's full of sluts so you'll cheat anyway if you stay with her
this is why I'd never date an army guy

>>8207025

Oh, and there is a massive amount of weeaboos in the army. So you'll have plenty of friends to weeb out with.

>>8205112

>>8207362
Sorry Anon. That whole crash is utterly awful.

>>8207362
It's an international tragedy, you have every right to feel upset.

Take a few days off from cosplay and other stuff and just do things that relax you. Maybe go watch a movie or grab a coffee with some friends you trust and talk it out.

Spent all day and night working on a jsk in the hopes of having it ready by tomorrow so that I could wear it on a date.

Well, it's ready. It also looks like'a high-quality little girl's Disney princess costume. It was either design error or miscalculated measurements.. Because it's just too short and too puffy and ugh.

I'm going to pull it apart and just completely remake the skirt.

Pear shaped skinny and pear shaped fat are very different looks. I think anon i saying she has big thighs and doesn't want them so exposed. I know I'd be weird about doing an exposed midriff cosplay where there's no chance for body shapers.

But in all seriousness, I'm sorry to hear that. Is there any possible way for the con to roll over the admission for next year?

Haha in my rage I'm even getting months wrong....
If they do e-fucking-ventually say no I'm going to try that, I guess it is worth a shot, and will be at least $100 I did not throw to the wind, with the rest of my dreams.
At this point I just want a yes or no answer so I can stop being so anxious about it. It is Thursday and we don't fucking know who will be working Sunday? How much longer are they going to drag this on?

>>8208110
Well honestly, I make the schedule and I have submitted it without me on it, we have plenty of coverage, any shift I would have to work is taken care of.
If my request is denied, my request is denied. I will be asked to re-do the schedule with myself on it, and only off on days they say are OK.
Any changes to the schedule have to be approved by upper management and they won't just let me switch with someone else so I can be off.
Because this system fucking sucks and I need a new job.

>>8208892
Is your problem with sewing the actual sewing itself or the patterning?
If it's sewing:
>get thee a basic sewing starter kit: hand needle, black thread, scissors
>look up tutorials on "how to hand sew"
If it's patterning:
>very carefully cut off one of the messed-up sleeves at the seam (where it's connected to the shirt's body)
>keep as close to the seam as possible when you're cutting - you want to preserve the sleeve's shape
>take the cut-off sleeve cuff and cut along the underside seam
>voila, sleeve pattern
>trace the pattern onto a piece of stretchy black fabric - perhaps from another black shirt
>sew that shit on

Alternately, you can get matte black fabric paint. After you paint the sleeve, flip it inside-out, stick a piece of scrap paper between the painted side and the ironing board, and iron the reverse (the unpainted side) on a low heat. Ironing the paint softens it a little so it doesn't look as tacky and stiff.

>>8208910
The problem is that I can't sew. But the fabric paint idea sounds interesting. Any more links in doing that?

>>8199865
these parents sound really jewish.

>>8208917
Look up "heat set fabric paint" and there are some instructions. I kind of bullshitted parts of my heat setting instructions, soooo definitely check those links out.

>>8208930
Good stuff anon, thanks.

Boyfriend as of yesterday cheated on me with one of my friends (pressured her into it and a day after it happened she told me). He only told me earlier part of the story and not the whole thing. So of course I broke up with him

I'm really sad of course but there's no way I can forgive him, even though I really didn't want to break up... it's for the best I guess

>CGL related
when i heard the news I had scratched into my arm with the pen I had on hand. I got this really gross lopsided hashtag on my arm now lol. Im hoping it fades soon since I'll be at a con next week. Does anyone know any tips to get rid of it faster? Otherwise I'll just wear like 10 wristcuffs since I don't have any long sleeved blouses haha

>>8209436
Not to put salt in the wound, but it's highly unlikely that she was 'pressured' into it. You need to have a serious talk with her now because in 3 months when she needs to tell you that they've been 'secretly dating for a while' you're going to feel really shitty.

>>8209441
This is getting really personal but I can assure you I definitely know that she was taken advantage of. I don't want to go into details about how it happen because its too painful for me to share but he definitely did take advantage of her.

After what he did to her, I seriously doubt she'd date him. She was unavailable to be with him in the first place.

I understand though, since I know that kind of situation happens a lot.

>>8209452
what could have possibly happened`?

>>8209452
Unless your friend is a drunk retard, the chances of her being taken advantage of really slim. Congrats on being duped by them both tho.

>>8209454
>>8209456
To keep it short, he forced/manipulated her to strip for him, but that was the farthest it gotten, but he was sending her messages that gradually got more sexual before it lead to this. She's way younger than both of us and very prone to panic attacks and sick so I understand that she was too scared to tell me first. But once it got that far, there was no way to keep quiet.

It wasn't really the cheating but the fact that he was doing that to my friend and trying to use her that bothers me the most.
I think this is the most I can say about it. But he's become a really weak, gross, pathetic person so I honestly doubt she'd really want to date him. Secondly, its not that I believe she's innocent in this because she did take her time to tell me. But it's more his fault than anyone else's.

>>8209468
It sounds like you have very little experience with people and relationships, anon. It also sounds like you need to rethink your stance on relationships in general if you're going to make excuses for the other party.

>>8209468
While it's possible that she only caved in because she's young, I'd still keep my distance from now on. To be sure.

>>8209468
>But he's become a really weak, gross, pathetic person so I honestly doubt she'd really want to date him.

Bro, that's your opinion now, you can never know what others are thinking, you know. How can you be sure? Also, how old are you anyways?

>>8209474
Yeah I will definitely. She was like a little sister to me but... When i talked to her I just really couldn't handle it and I probably be distant. We might drift apart so oh well.

>>8209470
This is true. He's been the first serious relationship I had since high school (high school doesn't really count much anyways). And this is the first time I've been cheated on, so I'm not sure on what to do. But i've known her for years and if she didn't speak up, he would've kept lying to me. But yeah i think the best thing to do is separate myself from these people even though I'm not that emotionally strong enough, but I'll do my best.

>>8209478
It's my opinion but all the people in our social group that know are equally disgusted. We're in college and in our twenties and she barely became an adult this year.

>>8209468
So you were dating him but he was too gross for her? Come on now, panic attacks have very little to do with fucking stripping for a guy. I understand you want to protect your friendship and apparently hate him anyway but I think you might be taking too much free will from your friend. Unless she is diagnosed mentally challenged.

>>8208578
Great now i'm scared of driving. Thanks for nothing.

>>8209505
>We're in college and in our twenties and she barely became an adult this year.
>This was the first serious relationship I've had since becoming an 'adult'
>thinks she and her friends are adults simply due to age.

You're still in college, have had no other real relationships and are putting yourself on a pedestal over her due to her age? I feel for you, I really do, but you've got a lot of growing up to do and a lot of preconceptions to change.

Someone 2 or 3 years younger than you is not a child based solely on age, and nor are you an adult based on age, it's about experiences.

>>8209515
If you die, you die.

>>8208910
Any other tips for sewing stretch fabric?

>>8209513
>>8209456

I get that you're trying to make the BF's behavior seem less shitty by dragging the girl down with him, but this is really reaching. Especially:

>Come on now, panic attacks have very little to do with fucking stripping for a guy.

A lot of women clam up and have no idea how to react when someone tries to goad them into something sexual. Especially if they haven't participated in anything like that before and/or they think they know the other person. Cool story bro: there was a spat of harassment at my college where a guy would call random girls on the university line and pretend to be someone they knew who had to give a survey for a psych class. The questions started normal and then turned into demands to describe sex fantasies. A lot of girls fell victim to it and stayed on the line because they had no idea how to react.

>>8209586
Your story has absolutely nothing to do with stripping for a guy you know. That's not passively not knowing what to do, that's not a panic attack.

The point is that a pushover or the kind of person who panics/clams up over everything can blindly go along with the guy's suggestions even if she's uncomfortable with it or doesn't really want to. Basically I'm agreeing with OP's point that she's guilty but was taken advantage of. "She 100% wanted to and is now lying to cover her ass" isn't the only possible option.

OH FUCK YES THEY FINALLY SAID YES FUCCCK YESSSSS

I now have a new and exciting problem though.
>Have to work the day I am going up
>Have to move my train
>Train wants 200 for new ticket
>Check bank account
>The last check from my insurance company bounced.
>Check mailbox. They apparently sent me one to many? so they recalled the last check
>Call them, turns out because I was cleared to go back to work one week, even though I did not start work till the next week they still should have not sent me the last check
>Because of bounced check fees and missing an entire paycheck I am now 250 short for the hotel
>Don't get paid till next Friday
Fuck me up the ass can anything go smoothly I ate my savings while I was out of work.

>tfw all I want is to wear fairy kei and sweet lolita and be small and dainty
>tfw 176 cm tall and busty
>tfw I see all these girls wanting bigger boobs and to be taller
>tfw I would do anything to not be so fucking tall and have smaller boobs so I could wear more cute clothes

A-at least my proportions are good for cosplay, I guess

Two people I know are removing loved ones from life support this weekend.

They don't know one another, but I met them both through cosplay/lolita. The first's mother is dying of cancer (which was misdiagnosed until just recently, so she went through two years of the wrong goddamn treatments, and might have survived if they hadn't misdiagnosed).

The other is much younger and something of a freak occurrence. My friend's sister suffered brain damage after a clot went from her leg to her lungs to her heart to her brain. They're not sure what caused it, since she's only 25, and shouldn't be suffering from DVT at so early an age.

Both situations are giving me horrible memories of when we took my gramps off assisted support a few years ago. He lingered on for almost a week without the breathing machine, so everybody thought he might wake up one last time. We broke the ICU's two-at-a-time rule (with permission), because no one wanted to leave, in case he did wake up. I just hope like hell that their loved ones pass quickly and with as little pain as possible after they're removed from support, because that week was agonising, hoping he'd open his eyes and say something before dying.

I just realized my parents never loved me.

>Stopped drinking soda a week ago
>already lost 4kg

>>8209620
I don't agree with either of you, because even a push over would have told her much more quickly.

>visiting family
>they offer to wash my clothes
>chilling in living room
>mom comes in looking really apologetic
>tells me there was a problem in the wash
>shows two of my favourite pieces of clothing, a pair of printed toile canvas pants and vintage 50s style summer dress
>both are completely covered in brown splotches for some reason
>can't seem to wash out

I'm so disappointed. They weren't anything too expensive but I loved wearing them and they were so original and fun to wear. I don't even understand what happened everything else was fine.

Yo anon, on second thought i'm going to Frankenstein 2 shirts together. Take the sleeves off a black one and handstitch them onto a sleeveless one. Any thoughts?

Parents loving you is a joke. You're better off learning to love yourself anon.

>have big american burg fingers
> uncoordinated as balls
> just want to sew things
> don't have a sewing machine, just a pack of hand needles from local store and a lot of free time
My fingers are trypophobia incarnate, specifically the left index.

Nah anon, I've got a tiny fucking ribcage and the zip gets stuck. Turns out when they sewd it in it was sewn too close to the join between skirt and bodice, and it a shit to zip up even when hung up. It's not just you.

No I have.
I'm just saying like, how do I put this, they've always acted like they cared about me and I always saw through it.
But it just dawned on me just how much they never cared about me ever since I was born. And I can't help but feel
a little betrayed that the only people to really give a shit about me are the friends I've chosen to hang out with.
I mean that's natural since you can't choose your parents, but they chose to have me.
Like, it's not that I've felt hated or unloved, because those would involve an acknowledgement beyond my just existing.
Or not even that I am nothing to them, it's that I've always been nothing to them.

fucking go shower so i'm not a piece of shit and end up missing the end of an auction on an item i really wanted. would've dropped a further $100 on it but nooooope other bid was just $10 higher than mine fffffffff

>got offered an amazing new job last week
>within walking distance of my house
>salary was within my desired range
>everyone was extremely friendly
>was supposed to start monday
>find out I was lied to during the interview process
>job is 100% commission, not even hourly+ commission
>no benefits(which I believe is illegal in my state)
>3 week unpaid training program
>entirely different job in than the advertisement stated
>probably going to retract my acceptance formally on monday

I feel like shit. I'm not stupid, but I was blatantly lied to. And I am extremely uncomfortable with the idea of cold-call direct sales to people at their houses, if it was telemarketing, fine, but that's too much physical labor and for no base pay. Fuck that. I have a con next weekend and was really excited about getting a new job so quickly. I applied to a ton of other jobs but I'll have to wait till offices open on Monday to hear back from them. I am not sure what I should tell the company I'm bowing out of, I'm really pissed off and hurt.

Ah, I see you've suffered the same fate I did not too long ago.
Trust me, you're dodging a bullet by avoiding that, pay by commission jobs are the fucking worst.
Because if you have even any shred of integrity, than you'll always feel like a piece of shit for trying to sell all this crap to people.
If you make a sale you know you just lied to someone and suckered them out of their money, if you don't make a sale then you ain't getting paid.
Still, nobody's got it as bad as gamestop employees.
