Didnt someone make a doc of youtubers?

emii chan

plz respond, I want to doodle some gulls

Pardon my plebeian traditional drawings, my laptop committed seppeku and I can no longer do digital drawings.

Shopping service sent my parcel out for free for some reason.

Only they shipped it to my old house where the people there just open up anything and lie about receiving things.

Bye bye my goods.

I have one that's not resolved yet.

>order cardigan and a ring through japonica for the 100th time
>the usual, they buy it and ship it via airmail

>say he will try again tomorrow
>check tracking
>"package on it's way pack to sender"
>what the f
>call post office and ask what's the matter
>"The package doesn't meet the dispatch conditions, maybe the sender didn't pay enough for the size. I can't be delivered and the sender will have to ship it properly again."
>it's just a used cardigan and a ring what the fuck

Package with my jewel marine full set got sent to the wrong continent, it's supposed to be coming to BC Canada, they sent it to the UK

At least it's being resolved, but I'm pissed that they can't do their job right.

For me, I know magazine photos are unrealistic because no one would put an imperfect close-up to sell you cosmetics, yet I still treated them as goals (that could not be achieved)

This photo made me realise even the perfect looking models, with make-up done by professionals (well, not as professional as high-end magazines of course), they are not porcelain dolls. They're just girls with make-up.

Mini blog over, will post the rest of the images.

No.

You can get taller by wearing heels or stilts. Even if you're 'too tall' for a character, you can create the illusion of the correct anatomy (Hobbit/Dwarf/bishojo characters)
You can tan or you can use whitening products (even though it's not as effective, it's a thing)
You can lose and gain weight. Or even pad, if you want.

If you really are all about accuracy. There's lots you can do. You just gotta put more hours in your preparation of your costume.

If you just wanna have fun and dress up like your beloved characters, I won't judge you. Not even if you don't go for accuracy. If you cosplay for fun it's supposed to be fun, don't care about what others say

"Fun" is not a legitimate reason to be cosplaying, you fucking autists.

>>9389562
I don't really keep the two separate but I haven't really cosplayed anything that's incriminating to me. Usually when I go out of state (I started a new job at a hospital) I would say I was going to a concert or visiting friends. It was until recently that I was talking with my manager and he revealed some knowledge of con stuff (due to his son going to them) and I told him about the ones I do. It actually went pretty damn well.

I mean it could vary on occupation, I don't really flaunt that I cosplay but if my co-workers find out they usually think it's pretty cool.

>>9389562
I don't separate the two because I don't see the need. All of my coworkers know that I cosplay as do most of my family members. I'm pretty lucky, I guess, to have most of the people in my life be supportive of my hobbies.

>>9389562
I keep my lolita on my main account. I know some people have a separate fb page for their cosplay, which works out well when you get credited in a cosplay video or someone takes your photo.

I know another friend who has a separate facebook account for lolita and work/family. This person doesn't use the work/family one at all, which I find amusing.

I'll start by posting with some different games.

Start with cheaper lolita brands??? If you can find stuff from Taobao brands, you can get dresses for pretty cheap (at least cheaper than burando prices) - and you could still satisfy your desires.

As for making money at home, if you can draw you can make quite a bit of money through online sales/commissions and Patreon. Lower tier artists I know are able to get several hundred per month from Patreon while the more popular artists make thousands. I just sell my art on Etsy and bring in around $2k per month $3-4k on busier months.

You can also learn coding and take freelance jobs over the internet.

I mean the "get money fast" things you can do online (like taking surveys, fiverr, etc) are not gonna get you a lot of money. You need to have some sort of marketable skill.

>>9387457
You could always try camming. It's easy money.

Ngl it sounds like you're just making excuses. I have terrible social anxiety and depression but I still go out and work.
I know I sound callous, but I do know how you feel anon. It's really hard, the hardest part is doing that first day on the job. Medication really helped me, I've been on SSRIs for over 2 years now (probably shouldn't still be on them oops). Are you taking any medication currently? It's good that you're getting medical help though.
The thing is, social anxiety can be worked through with counselling and meds, it's not a permanent condition. The more you go out into social situations, like a job, the easier it gets.
I wish you the best of luck anon

Tsundere Weiss so cute!

What exactly do you mean in terms of scene? Number of people? There's a lot of cosplayers out here. You'll be fine.

>>9387038
Yeah but it seemed like all the cons happen in socal...

>>9387043
The main one up here is Fanime. Smaller cons include AOD (next weekend in Santa Clara), Silicon Valley Comic Con, and Krakencon. Other not-really-a-con events where everyone goes to are the Cherry Blossom Festival (April 8-9 and the weekend after that) and J-Pop Summit (Sept 9-10). There's also the Norcal Cosplay Gatherings which involve a shitload of people hanging out and as many photos as people bother to take. The next one is at Lake Cunningham in San Jose on March 25.

For the immediate future I'd suggest going to the Norcal Cosplay Gathering because it's cheap and there's no distractions. You'll probably run into a bunch of people you know already because a lot of the people up here go to socal cons like ALA and AX.
