Start using hiruscar on it anon. Also derma rolling does wonders. You can also get laser treatment for it. Apply a lot of vitamin E oil while it's healing too, don't wait for it to completely heal or it'll be worse. Put hydrocolloid bandages on it while it's healing, and get those silicone anti-scarring patches afterwards.

Lolitas can act like there is no discrimination against handmade and offbrand all day long but we know it's not the truth.
If it's trendy or normative it gets a pass. If you do something a little more creative it's all pitchforks and torches. At the same time brands do stuff like cute biker jackets, open shoulders, bare legs, shorter skirts, longer skirts, frills everywhere, no frills, radioactive color prints etc. and it's okay.
Just tired of this hypocrisy. I don't want to think like "do I look lolita enough" when I'm dressing up, I just love lolita aesthetic and I want to look good. Meh.

Sounds like you made something ugly. I have yet to see a genuinely good handmade piece get torn to shreds, and my own feel is I get so annoyed by people like you that say the lolita community goes all 'pitchforks' when in reality we're just laughing at you because you look stupid. Is it easier being an ita when you think of yourself as going against the normal standards of the fashion like a crusader versus just being laughed at by both normies and lolitas because you're dressed like a moron?
There is no hypocrisy. When brands do weird shit people point it out and laugh, or it's a fond piece from the past (looking at you, Meta), just because a brand puts out an ugly dress doesn't automatically mean it's a good lolita dress, and what you see in a fucking ADVERTISEMENT isn't indicative of the fashion either. If you want to dress up and look good in lolita then obviously you have to wonder if your outfit is actually lolita. You just sound butthurt and new.

Brands have an entire body of work as a background in the aesthetic so if they make some more 'creative' (or questionable) pieces it's a different context than someone trying to shoehorn their personal fashion 'creativity' into lolita. If you ever have to ask yourself 'do I look lolita enough', chances are that your coordinate isn't that grounded in the lolita aesthetic.

It's no secret that brand is liked better than off-brand or handmade. But people have a tendency to get butthurt when their handmade or creative coordinating of not-lolita items don't conform well enough to the lolita aesthetic to get praise or approval or get a harsh critique. I wouldn't call it 'pitchforks and torches' but there often IS a pushback when people try to bring things into lolita that they like but not everyone does. Fandom mashups with lolita, X other style I like combined with lolita, le edgy piece that doesn't really belong shoehorned into the coord, stuff like that comes to mind. Especially if you aren't already an established lolita who has proven that you do know how to coordinate with mainstream pieces, and who does traditional coordinates too.

If your piece was well made and your coordinate worked well and followed the rules, I can't imagine it getting told anything.

Yes, see one person's 'creative use' is someone else's 'not lolita'. The CoF mods aren't infallible but they generally aren't known for being exclusionary either. It's not really discrimination against handmade or offbrsnd because other posts containing either or both are not deleted, you don't see a ton of handmade but you do see lots of offbrand. Your coord sounds like a little too much of both and a motif t-shirt that isn't a brand cutsew might not look great.
Either get another opinion with concrit or try again with another coord. Beyond that, not much else to do, I think?

/fa/ggot here, no clue where to ask this so this thread will have to do.

I've recently begun dating a lolita and she invited me to her comm tea party which happens in a week, and I'm not sure what I should wear. I know nothing about jfashion so that's out of the question, but I was thinking maybe I should wear something victorian inspired. I posted this fit back in october, maybe if I swap the shoes for black oxford lows and the jeans for a non ripped pair I'll look presentable, idk.

"Just wear whatever" was her response, but that won't do. Any opinions are appreciated. This is technically a feel, right?

the help thread might have been better- but I'll still bite. I would change out the shoes to something a little less ragged- if you have access to a pair of black oxfords, maybe give it a go and see how they look.

If you take a small/medium dose of steroids itll help out your metabolism/fat burning and muscle building.

If you just go anorexia mode as a male you'll end up losing muscle and just turning into a flabby piece of shit with 11 inch arms yet still have lovehandles/mantits and a pudgey tummy.

With steroids you'll keep an above average amount of muscle while losing all the fat, to a certain extent.

the reason those "cleanse" diets work is because you shit out all the undigested solid food in your system and don't take in anything else to replace it, so you lose about 10 pounds of partially digested food.
but, the minute you eat solid food again, you're going to gain it back because it wasn't fat

This person isn't asking if they, as a morbidly obese person, should follow the liquid diet prescribed by their doctor, they're asking if it'll help them lose weight fast for cosplay. The answer to that is that any reduction in calories will help you lose weight, but you are more likely to stick to a diet if you're still eating foods that you enjoy eating. Liquid diets aren't significantly more effective for people who are normal weight/mildly overweight than any other form of calorie reduction. There's your full answer, since apparently it needed to be spelled out.

Not just that, but if HE gets into the baby talk too early, that's also a big red flag, imo. I noticed before I got married, the guys I'd go on dates with who would bring up wanting kids on the first date were the ones with the worst self-esteem issues. They were really, really needy and child-like themselves, and seemed to think that having kids would solve all their problems.

Hint: it won't. Kids aren't some kind of cure for loneliness, and if you think having a kid will somehow make you a better/healthier/happier person like some miracle cure, you probably shouldn't even be considering a family yet.

For that matter, neither is marriage. Don't rush into that shit. Make sure you know what you're committing to, and that the other party is equally committed.

What was it you were saying about reading comprehension?

People have offered suggestions but unless you are willing to post the coord, nothing here will help. If you are a regular lolita who wears brand then don't you have some friends or a comm or another lolita group that you can go to to receive a reality che--- er, some concrit on this? Obviously something is not going right in the coord. If you continue to cry here of course people will continue to bait you. Either way you don't seem like a very nice person in general starting with pitchforks and torches and ending with something like 'no shit Sherlock' when it's your coord that got the boot and a couple of people actually try to help you.
Either way, you've spilled your feels so let it go.

Ask those friends to critique your coord then and ask them to be very honest because you are bothered that it was removed from CoF. Then listen to what they say and take it to heart. Simple. It's one coord, it's not a really huge deal like you are blowing it up to be.
Most good lolitas old and new who want to improve and grow their coordinating skills seek out some avenue to receive concrit. It's a very common part of the fashion culture to get your coords critiqued, learn to accept critique gracefully and to not be rude about the whole thing in general.

I have nothing against sushi but holy shit you'd think that if they ate non-Japanese food while wearing lolita they'd die or something. The only time we deviate from Japanese shit is when we're doing Korean shit. For reference, there's not even a real Asian community in our area and not a single one of my comm members is Asian so sticking exclusively to kawaii azn activities takes way more effort than just going to Little Tokyo.

If you go by the Japanese meme, being over 25 and unmarried is like being a Christmas cake after December 26th.

the truth is that dating is a lot easier for women in the teens/early twenties because they look pretty and have boobs. After mid-late twenties, they don't look as good and things start to sag, so they can't rely on that anymore. If a woman has more than her looks, it doesn't matter, but the shallow Instagram girls who just go from party to party and never really get hobbies or a personality outside of that fall hard.

I don't think it's even because of weebiness so much as just because it sort of pleases everyone by catering to a few dietary requirements.

Staying at home, raising a child instead of sending them off to daycare is insanely taxing. You have to put yourself 2nd place, put the kid first always, your days will hours of cleaning, cooking, making sure the money is being well spent, making sure you're taking care of your husband as well, maintaining the house, running errrands etc

I'm not dense, but I don't see the purpose in marrying a guy and worrying about how much he makes, or whether you can leave your job unless you;re a gold digger. Why would you quit your job if you agreed with your husband to be dual income? Do you have any idea how he feels about having the pressure put on him to be the sole earner. Locking yoursekf into taht basically prevents him from leaving his job and he won't see his kids very often because he'll have to be hunting promotions. It's a shit life

I guess I wouldn't expect /cgl/ to care about guys though, to them guys are walking atms and dildos. they have no feelings, no wants, no desires, just exist to give you what you want,

I'm actually pretty happy because I've got an ok job right now and I'm making a decent amount, but the catch is it's a temp-to-hire deal so I'm not sure if I'm going to have a steady income in a few weeks. This would be alright if I wasn't planning on using that extra cash on padding my wardrobe with all the nice second hand burando I've been keeping tabs on. I've seen over half of the dresses I wanted sell while the restocks have mostly been ugly or bad colorways, and while I'm probably going to stay strong it's going to be hell on my nerves until I know for sure whether I can get it or not.

I was in a relationship when I met most of my current con friends, and consequently most of my social circles are groups of couples.

Being the third wheel is bad enough on its own, but what's really bad is that I keep getting advances from taken girls in my groups. I had two separate girls from different circles do it at the last con, and they're far from the only ones, it keeps happening over the last few years. It's one thing after another, from "I wish I'd met you before my husband" and lewd comments to excessive touching and physical contact (lots of gratuitous boob hugs and a few crotch grabs among other things) to "accidental" but obviously intentional wardrobe malfunctions. Sometimes it's out of sight, but it's often done right in front of these girls' partners, too.

I don't fucking get it, it's driving me crazy and it's forcing me to distance myself from a lot of my social groups, especially because I'm honestly worried that if they give me too much of an opportunity I'm going to do something bad.

I don't know that that's what it is, though. I mean, these girls might just be trying to make their guys jealous. (Although that doesn't account for the ones who say/do stuff privately.) One friend's husband seems to not care, and I keep wondering if he's an actual cuck fetishist or something.

The thing that ups the weirdness is that I'm not particularly attractive or successful, so it's not like that's the reason for things, and I can't get the time of day out of single women, but it's like 50% of the taken girls I know come onto me. It makes me want to tear my hair out.

Either way it's not your responsibility to keep a fox out of their henhouse you know? Obviously the girls are gonna be disappointed when they both lose you as a friend and their relationship explodes but that's their choice to make.

It's when you buy a small toy, packaged in a way that you don't know which character you got until you open it.

It's.... frustrating, if you just want a specific character.

They probably get hit on a lot or deal with a bunch of creeps as it is... so I leave them be, but damn if I don't like what I see. Still, I do wonder. If, say, a girl is cosplaying something revealing, like a swimsuit or something, or something that accentuates their curves like a body suit, and the character she's cosplaying is say, one that's pretty fanservicey... I would then wonder if it's even acceptable to ask for them to do a pose that really emphasizes their... assets. Like, I don't know, asking a Tracer cosplayer to pose with their butt to the camera. Like if you ask this, wouldn't they know that you'd want the picture to just jack it to? Wouldn't you just be seen as a perv... or well, a creep?

I also wonder if cosplayers who sell prints have this in mind. Say if a cosplayer willingly poses sexily and did a photoshoot and then sells prints of those photos... wouldn't they know full well that guys would enjoy those kind of pictures and would probably jack it to those photos?

She said have you considered. And why the assumption she'd just quit or something, and not talk to her partner about it? I don't think guys are walking atms and love my partner, and desu I make more money than him and if we had kids I'd probably want him to be a stay at home dad though he already said never to that. But I can see why you shouldn't date if you have such one dimensional ideas about women, and instantly jump to conclusions.

Literally Lolita is my one of my only saving graces that helps with my depression and anxiety. Without meds dressing in the fashion make it easier to leave home if i have to and is my only way i can socialize with other people. If i lose this i'll be isolated and cling/be needy even more to my partner and i know i'm already a hand full.

I hate that my confidence has been the lowest it has ever been. I hate that I have what I perceive to be anxiety and I become a stuttering, blithering mess when trying to talk to people. I want to befriend people but I am so fucking terrible at it and I hate that I have such a defeatist view about this.

I'm going to another con soon and I'm terrified I'm gonna mess up when I want to talk to people and maybe befriend people because in the back of my mind I'm always going to think "they hate me, I'm a creep, why am I even trying, why am I not just content with loneliness?" I go to these things to try and meet people who also share my interests but I don't want to hurt anyone.

Get screened asap. If you've been using protection you should be okay. If not it can at least be caught early and when treated appropriately can be manageable. Just make sure he stays on top of his medicine. It comes back with a vengeance if you don't. Take care and I hope you at least get some good news.
