Are there any good Taobao stores for gurokawa?

>>8973491
I have a few:

http://love-with-me.taobao.com/
http://xindy.taobao.com/
http://manapalace.taobao.com/
http://thepinksavior.taobao.com/
You may get results searching things like "原宿恐怖" (Harajuku Horror) and similar.

How would prints look with like, unicorns and mermaids? Obviously with menhera elements.

>>8973639
no reason it couldn't work . Decapitated unicorn heads and gutted mermaid could be neat

>>8973761

The gutted mermaid look reminds me of this image. I forget the artist but its some asian guy that everyone on /ic/ has a huge boner for.

Anyways cool image. Would be neat to have menhera style mermaids that are being prepped for food or maybe being caught by a fishing rod

>>8973787
Haha I was about to ask who the artist was but from your description, I think the name is Kim Jung gi?

>>8973787
>>8973761
But that would be Gurokawa, I don't see any sickness in that for it to be Menhera.

Hypercore seems to be the new hot shit in the japanese alt-scene, they have lots of Gurokawa prints.

>>8974538
Their upcoming rings seem cute.

>>8973454
the art on this is so terribly done i don't know if I should be offended or sad

>>8974630
That's just the drawing style of the series.

Most of menhera art is quite minimalistic in the first place.

Found this on TB:
https://world.taobao.com/item/529242899349.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-10481543171.26.oj97cw

>>8974634
While it may be stylized a certain way, the proportions don't make sense(it looks like they started from the bottom up which always turns out abysmal.) The middle is the worst offender of this, where she looks like the upper half is 2x the size of the lower. Not to mention the train wreck of the lineart. I don't mind quirky stylized artwork, but effort needs to be put into it.

>>8971856
take your made up rules and shove them up your ass

>>8974639
I don't see any problem with it besides the wide armpit part, that's just how the series's style is (minus the quality loss that was made by enlarging the image but that's OP's fault).

>>8973629
>get called gross in last thread for buying guro stuff from taobao
I'm tempted, but what's the quality like on these?
Last time I used a taobao link I regretted it.

>>8974886
just dont buy anything tacky looking
or flesh colored
that was your issue last
those skeleton clips are very 2012

>>8974848
>rules
I didn't say you can't, just that you shouldn't
You're free to do whatever you like, I just think that they should be aware that cgl is not a hugbox like tumblr, and unless you post something decent you're going to get a bit of rude comments
Which to me is good. Either you learn from those comments, and get better, or you go back to crying on tumblr or facebook and cgl doesn't get flowed with shitty snowflakes

>>8974864
Well that's fine if you don't personally see anything wrong with it, but I do. I could redline a bunch of the errors if you'd like so you can see what is wrong with the proportions of it. I'm not trying to pass unfair judgement on it, but it is questionable quality. I work on stuff like this as a job, and I can see where people could notice the odd proportions and line art that the piece is composed of.

Some quick examples without doing any line art being the left girls front leg being in the wrong position, the center girl having arms as wide as her thighs, and the width of the rights leg that is supposed to be farther back is larger than the one intended to be closer to us. Not to mention the length of the arms should end half way to the knee, and these seem to go well beyond that.

>>8974888
You don't think it's okay to wear older stuff?

>>8974896
>cgl doesn't get flowed with shitty snowflakes
it is though.

>>8974957
There is a proper way to wear accessories. The skeletion clips were so oddly place just because someone didn't want to cut the bangs on a wig properly and used the clips to hold the fringe.

Taobao isn't a bad place to buy, hell a lot of gulls buy from there in huge amounts but you have to check if something is quality and doesn't look that you bought it off the 99 cents rack from the halloween store that is on clearence.

>>8975001
What is a better way to wear them?

>>8974922
no1curr

>>8975114
If you didn't care why explain it? I was pointing out why an anon said it was bad, to someone said they thought it was fine.

I understand you like menhera-chan but that doesn't make it good art quality.

>>8975067
They should not hold not hold together an uncut fringe first off. Just cut the fringe or get someone professional to do it because uncut bangs look lazy and horrible.
The clips should be treated like bows in a way. I will post some examples I found with a simple google search, it's not hard to find pictures of which way they look good and which way the look horrible. You can use them to pull hair away from your face like a bobby pin but there is a way to make it look decent.

>>8975648
>>8975067

A cute idea but the buns should be more even and less sloppy.

With just these two examples, I am sure you can figure out what to do.

>>8973454
Reminds me of ME!ME!ME!

>>8975918
Yeah no shit

>>8974922
It's just a webcomic, and people seem to like it despite the questionable quality. Chill, anon, at least it's not Moon Over June.

What are the differences between Gurokawa and Menhera? Is it just that the latter uses pills, band-aids, syringes and maybe crosses/religious symbols as motifs, while the former focuses on, well, guro, or is it more than that?
Though the two both fall into an overarching "girly macabre" theme and might overlap at times, from the way people talk, I'm guessing they're not interchangeable.
Also, does the "baby art" scene (eg artists like Mark Ryden and Trevor Brown) fall into it?

>>8976138
You pretty much answered your own question
Descriptions from last thread

>>8976138
>>8976144
Gurokawa vs Menhera is:
psychological horror (fears, negativity) vs physical horror (slaughter, monsters)
making gore appear cute vs cute characters doing scary things

Some article about Menhera's aesthetics (that woman always calls everything subculture, it's annoying but it's a nice article outside of that):
http://www.tokyofashiondiaries.com/yami-kawaii-subculture/

>>8976138
Menhera is actually fashion inspired by the unspoken mental illness/depression/suicide rates in Japan. Not in a good way, but as a coping mechanism. So it has themes based off of that stuff.
It's not necessarily horror or anything like that. That's more Gurokawa. As the word guro suggests, lots of gore.

I'm almost finished translating chapter 3 of Menhera-Chan, would you guys prefer a dump or an imgur link?

>>8976239
>coping mechanism
Kek, sounds like Tumblr bullshit.

>>8976251
imgur please and thank you

I keep becoming more fascinated with menhera because >>8976239 basically is me and lately shit has been bad so I'm getting drawn to this more and more. I've actually been making things with a "cute but sick" theme for a long time, so I guess it's kinda cool to see that's actually a "thing."

>>8976259
Tumblr actually hates menhera because it's "making fun of/appropriating the mentally ill"

>>8976259
Not the same anon but it actually kind of got its origin in Tumblr considering that 90% of the japanese artists and brands are on there due to Tumblr's popularity steady increasing in Japan.

(Menhera-chan's artists talks about it in some interview too, how the whole sickcute thing got coined inspired by Tumblr > http://jagzzi.xyz/interview/bisko/ )

i love you translator anon

>>8976288
Woah, I didn't know the creator was a guy.

>>8976891
It was mentioned a couple of times in the Menhera threads tho but he is mentally a girl anyways, being a gay BL artist that collects Powerpuff Girls stuff since he was tiny.

Preorders anon here for an update to all who don't follow my social media. They sent me the remakes which were terrible. Pic related. The bleeding is even worse. The boss told me he would supervise for quality on these ones. And yet these ones are worse than the previous bad batch. I sent them an email. I'm very furious bc I know you guys are waiting. I haven't heard back from them yet though. I just wanted to apologize and thank you guys again for being patient and understanding. This process with them has been a nightmare and I'm in disbelief at how it's been playing out. If you guys have questions feel free to ask.

>>8977071
Closeups? These look fine but it could just be my display

>>8977074
That bleed you see on the front side, where you can see the back design, that's not just the transparency of the socks, the actual print is bleeding onto each side of the sock designs.

Close ups. The print bleeds into each side.

>>8977112
Oh I didn't realise, I thought it was transparency. That's really bad on their part.

>>8977121
I put my hand inside this one to show how the bleed affects the look when worn.

>>8977071
Thanks for keeping us updated. I really appreciate your commitment to quality control, even it means I'm probably not getting my order until summer (I'm the one who pm'd you on etsy about maybe having to change my shipping address due to delays)

>>8977130
Hey preorder anon, can I buy one of these? I know they are ugly but I am willing to buy them at a lower price just to get to have them.

>>8976134
I'm unsure why I would need to chill. I was explaining why it is bad quality to someone who said they didn't see why. If anything the original anon who commented on the quality of it would be the one that needs to calm down, or the people who keep acting like I am shitting on menhera-chan. I in fact like it as a series, but objectively as someone who is well versed in proportions and line art I can with confidence say based on the proportions and lack of consistency the series displays it has poor quality illustrations. Doesn't mean it's not cute and enjoyable.

>>8977173
No prob! I will update again once I get a reply back from them.
>>8977280
I need to figure out what I'm doing with these ones first. No selling as of right now.

>>8977280
Seconding this, if you have any leftovers that are bad, I'd be willing to buy them! I'm super sad because I missed the preorders, so if you're just gonna toss them, I'd be really happy if you'd consider selling them instead

>>8976354
>>8976389
Glad you like it! I'll get on with chapter 4 this week.
>>8977280
Same, I'd buy a pair of the stripy ones.

>>8977300
Chill.

>>8977071
I know loads of people are going to ask to buy these but from someone who preordered back in March please just send these out with the hair clips or coupon thing like you posted before. I'm not mad at you I just think it's time to lay down your sword and shield with this manufacturer .

>>8977470
I disagree. Yes, I'm frustrated that I have over $100 of merchandise in the mail that's been delayed due to quality issues, especially when some people have already received their preorders, but I rather wait a little longer for better quality

>>8977501
I completely respect your opinion but I can feel cheezy's frustration with the manufacturer. If getting this thigh High fiasco done helps her get on with producing more projects then I'll take a product with slight issue. But I do understand wanting a well made product.

>>8977363
Stop projecting.

>>8977470
I feel the same as you anon. It sucks that the socks keeps getting fucked up during the printing process but I am getting frustrated that I won't get my socks for another good while but we aren't entitled for the perorder anon to give us something for waiting, sometimes an apology is enough. However I do feel like this waiting game is getting pretty frustrating

>>8977560
Dont get me wrong, I only brought up the hair clip thing because the artist posted that as an idea ( it was since removed I think) . I don't think anyone is entitled to anything beyond what they paid for here.

>>8977470
>>8977501
>>8977515
>>8977560
>>8977574
Oh wow! I'm really sorry everyone, the reason why I've been trying to sort this out with the manufacturer is because I figured you guys would rather a good product with a longer wait than a bad one. I really didn't want to give you guys something that wasn't up to standard. But I just want to do what you gulls want me to. If I didn't receive a response by tomorrow from my manufacturer I was just going to send the products out with a coupon plus free hair clips and handwritten apologies. I'm really sorry again guys I know it sucks, I'm trying my best. If you guys want me to send them tomorrow please let me know and I will send them all out in the morning. Thank you again everyone!

>>8977613
Dont worry cheezy, I think everyone here supports you and I don't think anyone is upset with you, just frustrated at your side. Do what you think is best / will allow you to continue making awesome stuff for this small community.

>>8977613
I support you with it. It's not your fault, just unfortunate.

>>8977613
I actually don't think that the manufacturer is neccessary at fault but the color considering how often people complain on here about red-tone prints bleeding all the time (strawberry print dresses seem to be the most mentioned).

>>8977613
So I know some people already received their preorders, did the first batch of tights nor have issues?

>>8977628
>>8977634
>>8977712
>>8977727
Thanks gulls! You guys helped me make these things come to life, I appreciate the support! See my frustration with the socks was I ordered the 1st big batch of all the designs. And for the most part they were fine but for 2 designs about %25-75 of the socks were bled on both sides like pics posted above. So I did receive in the initial order, some socks that looked fine no problems that were those 2 designs.So I don't get why they can't make them all consistently good. Like I could understand if a couple turned out bad that's why I order extra. But when I received the remakes that were supposedly overlooked for quality and they ALL had bleeding on both sides, more than last time. I'm thinking....what? Idk how the printing process works. But I don't understand why I received a few good ones initially and the rest were bad? I also placed an order 3 weeks ago for the rest of the 1st edition designs. (the people who ordered at the end of march) But they still haven't processed let alone printed those yet. I'm assuming if it's like last time, they don't buy the socks until I've placed the order. Then they wait 2 weeks to get their sock shipment then they take a week to print mine. Then it takes a week to get to me. So I'm assuming I should be getting those in 2 weeks. Every time I ask about how things are going, they'll massively underestimate to me about how long something takes. It's really annoying.

>>8977727
Mine were okay, and held up in the wash.

>>8977747
Just want to say thank you for at least trying to do this. It's a shame you can't make it work out and that they are such a shit company. I hope you can find another way to put out clothing as I'd really like to purchase more from you in the future as I love your art!
I really enjoyed the shirt and socks I got as well as the cute little drawing you included!

>>8977867
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your order. I'm trying to find some local print shops to perhaps take my business of custom socks and tights to. I'm going to make some call this week, so we will see where that goes.

>>8976313
thank you!!!

>>8977305
If you do sell the damaged ones i would also buy

>>8977953
Good luck!!

>>8977280
Seconding this! I'll buy a bad pair for a low price!

Cherry, do you have an estimate for the ship dates of the second edition of the pretty + sick thigh highs? I know you're still having printer issues with the first batch

>>8978343
Probably another 2-3 weeks before I receive them to send out.
>>8977967
>>8978325
Hi guys! Like I said above I'm not selling any as of right now. If I do it's after all the orders have been sent out! Thanks!

>>8976313
Thank you so much! Did you post Chapter 2? I checked the archives but I couldn't find it

What kind of shoes.do you gulls think are OK for menhera?

>>8979763
Quite a lot, I guess? But obviously not high heels considering the theme is sickness and I doubt somebody sick would wear uncomfortable shoes. Most common seem to be sneakers and heelless/solid platform shoes (likely because they make the legs appear thinner), sometimes with plush added.

Got the new pretty medicine tops in stock and ready to ship. Black/red colorway for all who were requesting non pastel shirts.

>>8979904

I need that shirt omg

>>8980221
i just missed ordering a pastel shirt i'm so upset, please report back when they're back in stock

>>8980293
Which pastel shirt are you referring to?

Finally got a notification that my preorder shipped, I'm.excited

>>8980228
Comes as tee, sweater and hoodie but the later two never made it outside of Listen Flavor's own onlineshop.

>>8980468
the one i quoted, but in purple/pink

AkaTako is selling a few bondage thigh highs/tights by Hajime Kinoko. Little on the expensive side though

http://www.akatako.net/

>>8981330
Oh, gotcha. I'll keep it in mind then for the future. Thanks!

>>8981392
Thanks for the update. So if we want the thicker socks, we just don't contact you? (But I may need to since now I need to change my shipping address from my college one to my home one)

>>8981425
Yes please. I just sent you a pm on etsy actually. Don't worry though I will contact you to make sure to send it to the correct address when I am ready to ship the socks out. I'm so sorry for the trouble. Thank you again!

>>8981392
When do you think you'll reopen shirt preorders? I missed out the first time around and just got socks.

>>8976313
>wrist cutting to transform
literally what the fuck.

>>8981433
Here soon actually, look out on Friday afternoon I will have them relisted.

Order arrived today, injury socks have no bleed, striped pill ones have some bleed (my hand is in it)
Was sent hair clips and a coupon as well
Also the mailer it came in was pink and it came with a note and drawing

>>8981392
Hey anon, if you already sent our package, does that mean we got the thinner socks? Mines just got shipped out like two days ago and if I knew about this, I would of rather have gotten the new thicker socks. If you open preorders again, I would buy the newer ones but dang, it sucks since I would have waited a few more weeks for thicker socks.

>>8981460
Omg thank you for reminding me! I completely forgot to mention that they were going to remake all the ones I sent out on monday. The remake ones will be using the thicker socks, I will send them out free no cost to shipping when I get them. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that since I had so many things I had to write in the update.

>>8981471
Anon you are an angel, truly.

It's you anons who are angels. This whole back and forth with the manufacturer has been stressful to say the least and I know playing the waiting game is no fun for you guys. I cannot go on enough for thanking you guys for your patience and understanding. I really want to make sure everyone is satisfied.

>>8981497
Oops missed for >>8981506

>>8981471
Aww man anon, you are the best. This is why I think many of us want to support you in this business since you are pretty good at doing updates, keeping us informed, and try to satisfy us all.

>>8981450
Menhera thread newfag detected.

The whole point of Menhera-chan is that it critizes japanese society for the pressure it puts on people to keep the system going (which drives people into self-harm and suicide), you can also read about the background on its wikipedia page, it's the same way as it is with Zetsubou-sensei.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%98%E3%83%A9%E3%83%81%E3%83%A3%E3%83%B3

I just got my socks and they are lovely! The design does look cute in person though now I see the bleeding due to printing more clearly than the picture that was posted here. They are thin, idk if they will snag on something if it happens but I like them. I love the small gift of the two hairclips and the drawing (planning to frame it somewhere since it's cute and simple).

Anyone has tips on how to prevent the socks from rolling down where the band on top is? I made sure I was am able to wear the socks from the sizing listed so they fit me well. Idk if I am pulling them too high which causes the rolling or if I just have tree trunk legs. Would sock glue help make the socks stay up?

>>8981803
I just wear mine with a garterbelt that got silicone clips.

>>8981803
I wish I could of ordered the magical girl ones but my boyfriend is Jewish and might have thought the hexagram was weird

>>8981803
Same. I was gonna buy some sock glue since ive heard good things and probably a garter belt as well. Socks always roll on me

>>8981803
>>8982000
sock glue is love, sock glue is life.

>>8982054
Will it stain the socks? I'd like to use it with my light colored socks but I'm worried about staining

>>8982604
Nope, it's water soluble!

>>8982607
So even though it's water soluble, sweat and skin moisture won't cause it to slide off? As we're heading into summer, that's my main concern

>>8982623
I've personally never had problems with my socks falling even when doing lots of activity in the summer.

>>8981908
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagome_crest

>>8982701
I know what it is, it's just a shame most people see it and associate it with the Star of David

What SSs will buy from thebase.in ? I see a lot of menhera shops on there

>>8982623
I can also say that sock glue holds up in summer, and I live in a place where summer can get up to 48 C.
Sometimes, after like 4-5 hours I might have to re-apply though

>>8982734
>48 C

How the fuck are you still alive?
it it hits 40 here, im essentially dead. i've had to go to the hospital for heat stroke.

>>8982734
jesus fuck you wear socks in that weather?
I'd probably be crawling around on the ground in a linen tunic and nothing else.

>>8982832
If you crawl around on the cement, you could scrape yourself up and make for a nice menhera aesthetic, so thats something.

>>8982701
The symbols look exactly the same... where I live it'd be unlikely for people to know or accept the difference.

>>8982728
Sauce on this?

Have any of you gulls planned any coords with your Cherrycheezy socks?
I'm getting some, but I haven't decided on which ones, and I'm thinking about what to wear with them, so I was just curious what you gulls have thought up

>>8984122
Sort of. I got some in the mail recently and have a bunch more still in the mail (for a total of 4 pairs of thigh highs and one pair of tights) but I'm not sure how to coord it. I also have one of Cherry's medicine girl shirts and syringe necklaces in the mail. My main issue right now is not having matching shoes. I put in a small taobao order recently for a pair of simple Mary Janes and those winged creepers
Basically, I bought a lot of socks on impulse and didn't really think about coording them

>>8984136
Haha, yeah it's pretty much the same for me
I'll probably try to get something cheap to match to begin with, because I don't really have that much money to spend, and I had other things that I planned to buy... So we'll see!

>>8984122
I'm waiting on some stuff. Bought a pair of comfy red/pink/white shorts I found thrifted. Now I'm just trying to figure out accesories and my hair.

>>8984341
link to shoes, mask and bunny? that shit's adorable

>>8984353
Maybe their bunny came that way but you can easily get one of those bunny backpacks (they're everywhere) and just put a bloody wrap on it.

>initially think Menhera is edgy bullshit
>lurk threads
>months later
>"I wonder where I'll order from first"

You got me. I'm sorry I doubted and maybe posted neutral to negatively in the early threads. I'm also seeing the appeal as someone who is somewhat mentally ill and that it isn't just edgy "omg drawin fake cuts on me!! so randum" crap. Thanks for keeping the threads quality so I could realise I like this stuff.

>>8984360
I'm glad to see comments like this. Gives me hope for this board and all the usual dumb comments.
These threads were so hard to get going and now we have an original content creator for them - we've come a long way!

>>8984360
I felt the same way anon. And here I am now with a ton of menhera shit in the mail

Does anyone know if http://karenim.thebase.in/ ships overseas? I recently realized they were the ones who made my dream tights

Listen Flavor putting out new releases like all two weeks starts to become tiring.

>>8984377
if they don't you could always use a forwarding service

>>8982718
Pretty much all.

>>8984353
OP here
Yeah that bunny pick was from fymenhera tumblr. "Bunny backpack" on ebay pulls it up.
Shoes: http://r.ebay.com/GYPh9G
Mask: http://r.ebay.com/RFEHbA

I was also thinking these shoes because it would show off any socks. They come with Different colors too.

>>8984583
>>8984594
I'm new to Japanese FS and SS. Anyone got recommendations?

>>8984620
I have shoes like this and they're sweaty as hell, especially with thin socks like cherry's, just a warning

>>8984672
someone suggested zenmarket to me and i just completed my first order last night. it should arrive at their warehouse soon and i'm pretty excited. otherwise i'm also a newbie so i don't have any other suggestions.

>>8984672
I like Japonica Market, personally.

>>8984673
I still want some anons pls link

>>8984620
>>8984704
in retrospect nm. I have tights that show dripped blood in the front of my ankle so the laces on the shoes will still just cover it up.

Are there any other shoe recommendations that won't cover up tights so much? I'm thinking mary jane styled shoes would work but other suggestions would be great in general, since all of these tights are too cute to not show off

>>8984607
calm down, salty sally. i just want the basic bunny.

>>8984620
thanks! and defs go for the shoes. they're super cute.

>>8984581
I'm worried that they'll run out of steam

This is probably going to sound silly, but I'm really unsure of how to put together a menhera coord. I'm really tempted to preorder some sweet thighhighs from cherrycheezyshop but I don't know what I'd pair them with (I'll probably get them anyway though).

Could I build such a look around a longsleeve sailor uniform, maybe? Sorry if I'm being vague, I'm really new to menhera as a whole and feeling a little lost. I'm used to fashion that's a little formulaic but I'm slowly breaking out of that. Also I feel like wearing one menhera thing with something that's too normie might look really bad.

Alternatively, if there's like an outfit sharing place anywhere, that'd be a really big help. Sorry for the long post!

Remember, this is a casual fashion. What you mostly need is just elements that show the menhera aspect. A school uniform is used a lot and just adding some thigh highs or socks that show the menhera aspect, a necklace like the syringes or a pill, etc is enough to be menhera.

I think the difficult part of this fashion is that many here are coming from other fsshions that are more ott and have a set of rules while menhera is just casual that only needs the elements to be menhera.

That's exactly me! I'm coming in from Lolita so I've still got that rules mentality going on.

Thank you so much for the advice, I'm definitely going to just dive in and give it a go!

I love the bottom row. Sauce? Also translation maybe lol

>want to wear menhera theme OTK socks with short skirt/shorts
>need to wear skin-color opaque tights to hide self-harm scars on thigh
the irony

So i found this place when i went to barcelona years ago. Its a candy shop themed as a pharmacy. All the gummies and stuff come in different medicine containers. I just found out you can order online

Happy Pills http://www.happypills.es/en/

Damnit they dont deliver to the US.

I want to get something commissioned for a shirt print but how should I go about with the resolution of the image? Should I let the commissioner know that the image will be for a shirt so they know to make the resolution high enough?

Sorry if I sound stupid, I don't know jack shit about stuff like this and just want to know before I get some commissions done.

>>8986059
For sites like Spreadshirt, yoou need 4000x3000px for a print that covers the whole body and I doubt it is different for other sites.

>>8985740
From left to right:
Girl Power, Human Scum, Ease, Magical Girl, Menhera,, Human Scum, Good Night, Magical Girl

Sauce is http://sakura1tama.shop-pro.jp/ but the text sweaters can be easy done yourself on shirt printing sites.

>>8985745
Why even bother?

Are any of omocat's designs menhera? i've been looking for a new sweater

>>8986118
Eh, they're pretty bad looking and I don't like people seeing them. I get a bit of extra warmth with the tights, so I guess it's not all bad.

>>8985801
reminds me of happy lab a bit.

>>8986653
Some are, yes. You can generally tell which ones will fit menhera or gurokawa but looking at it. Their winter line had some nice stuff that could work

>>8986817
okay cause i was thinking of their demonboy hoodie.

>>8984581
sauce on socks or similar looking ones?

>>8975846
I just got this in yesterday. It's pretty nice~

>>8986693
As someone who has really obvious ones on my arms (there are some on my legs too) I guess I'm just used to not worrying about it because what's done has been done.

Anyone had fleashop/auction luck buying menhera listen flavour stuff?

>>8976259
It's an actual medical term used in the field for years, but you're right, those damn esjaydubyas makin up words

>>8986873
I hope that once they fade I'll be less worried about it. They're big thick nasty ones so they'll take a while to fade to white, but someday hopefully! Gotta get my thigh high game on

>>8987024
Honestly I just wouldn't worry about them. It'll look and feel worse to wear two layers of tights. If you're really concerned, cherry makes tights as well you could wear instead of thigh highs

How is the stretch on cherry's socks?
I've got pretty big legs because i did track in highschool so i've got big legs.

>>8988181
ok its obviously 3am with that redundancy. i apologize

>>8987024
Maybe mine are worse than yours but I've still got some from when I was like 22? And I'm almost 29 now...

>>8988027
I'm probably overreacting, but yeah, I might bite the bullet and just go without the tights. I'd rarely wear a really short skirt or whatever anyway, so I'd be covered. The way my self control is though I'll probably end up getting socks and tights, weh.

>>8988229
I'm 22 and mine range from age 16 to last year, so the oldest of those suckers are only just gone. Just gotta be patient and keep rubbing that bio oil, for any good it does!

>>8988181
I have big legs due to being a giant and they stretch up to 46cm circumference for me.

>>8988333
Eh, most people won't comment on self harm scars if they see them. And you may be able to cover them with the hemp of your skirt/top of your socks

>>8988643
Or use a good foundation.

>>8988867
Yeah you can try that too. I don't have any self harm scars but I'd imagine an issue would be foundation rubbing off on your socks

>>8988867
even with foundation you can see clearly the lumps. Also what >>8988990 said

>>8988333
Literally dont worry.
I'm covered in scars (both surgical, accident related, and self harm) and i dont give a shit, and neither should you.
Shit happens, and you shouldnt end up physically uncomfortable because of it.

So I bought some syringes and I just noticed that they are opaque. While filling one with some beads, I realized that they aren't clear. If I fill it with resin, will it result the same? I wish I noticed earlier that they weren't clearly see through since I don't want to spend money to look for new ones..

>>8977363
Learn to read, idiot.

>>8989173
I literally have no idea what you're trying to say. if it's opaque, that means you can't see through it
>>8989191
>responding to a week old post to argue
anon plz

>>8986745
I got really excited for a second because I thought the pills were a transparent sock and they looked really cool..

>>8989252
I think anon means translucent instead of opaque.

>>8989252
Sorry I meant what >>8989525 said! I just realized opaque wasn't the correct word but the syringes I got are translucent which sucks and Idk when I fill it up with resin, would it look a bit more clear or will it still be transclucent.

>>8986829
pics?

>>8989595

You're really stupid, huh?

>>8973454
is it true they dont have stimulants in japan? if so there's not even fun pills for menhera chan to use... just benzos and antipsychotics

>>8990085
They do, they even had epidemics where everyone and their mom was taking some.

>>8990235
You have no idea what you are talking about. Sure they may have been popular among certain scenes, but drug use is very taboo in Japan. Saying "everybody and their mom" was on them is a flat out lie.

>>8990457
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=japan+stimulants

>>8990085
They were widely used until ~1950 when they were all outlawed, near the defeat of Japan in WW2. The reason is because the Japanese government gave them to soldiers as methamphetamine pills and they were taking off in public spaces and with japan's workaholic culture they would quickly lead to social devastation, supposedly.

Right now there are some efforts to get weaker stimulants such as Ritalin rescheduled for people with ADD. Its interesting history but right now stims are very taboo in japan, though i'm sure ice (shabu) is very plentiful there through non-medicinal channels.

More importantly, for menhera-chan it simply means she's crazy enough that she needs pills to reign in her psychosis, i'm sure japanese society is stimulating enough lol

>>8990924
Wait, does this mean I can't bring my medication to Japan with me if I visit? I need my ADD meds to function like a normal human

>>8991142
Unfortunately yes it does, same for me
dreading japan trip

>>8991172
Yikes. Guess I won't be traveling to Japan any time soon.
Back on the topic of menhera, I'm wondering what color I should do byojaku with since that seems to be the most common makeup to wear with style (and it's cute as fuck). I'm white but my skin has a strong orange undertone, do you think a true red would be too intense? (I can't seem to get a good photo of my skin, sorry) I currently have sugarpill's love+ in the mail because I've been meaning to check out their stuff for a while

>>8991142
You might be able to bring them in depending on what exactly you need to take.

I friend of mine needed to bring prescription medication with a high level of codeine with her to Japan so she filled out one of these forms and they gave her the OK.
