I-I just want that stupid dress too.

One of my childhood friends has become extremely competitive and salty when it comes to cosplay. It's long and complicated but basic rundown

>trashes my cosplay choices

>mimics my cosplans and finishing it 'first' (despite not watching/liking them)

>bails on group plans even after affirming they're doing it

But when they see me they act all friendly and buddy buddy. Cosplay is a way for me to unwind and have fun so I try ignoring it but it's becoming so frustrating to me. What can you even do with someone like that?

>>8957020
Oh Jesus. Not a good day for you, huh? Hope things get better!

I want to post a girl from my comm on /cgl/ but I know she'll just shlick to it, make a passive aggressive facebook post about how #notbothered she is, then go on a witch hunt to find out who posted it.
I wish someone else would call her out on her shit

Iktf. Every time my dream dress popped up secondhand in Japan it sold before I could get it, and the only ones I've seen here were twice the price.

Now all I have left is being salty when I see worn photos. That and a new dream dress which I can fit into and fatties can't, so it is cheaper when it does pop up

I feel like being into lolita took a lot of the excitement out of planning and anticipating my wedding. Yeah my dress is cute but it's only a little fuller than my lolita dresses. My venue and decorations are nice but they'll never be as adorable as a tea house. Plus most wedding supplies are tacky as hell, it's killing me. There's more burlap than lace. It's like I'm missing a lot of how I should be feeling and that's making me feel guilty.

>>8957262
You do know there's the no singling out rule, so you can't post her anyway. And if it's a coord photo, who cares

Thanks anons. I'm not going to lie, her cosplays are pretty...rough in construction despite her boasts of how experienced she is in sewing. It's just hard because they're everywhere (she pretty popular in my comm) and she talks to me like nothing is wrong. I'm also afraid of her saying anything else about me to others.

But I think dissociation will be my best answer, I'll start distancing myself from her and be able to completely cut ties.

It's not just pornstars either. I hate anyone who brings the fashion into disrepute in even a minor manner. Like by donning the fashion people need to align their personality with a more ladylike persona and grace out of duty to their comm and the fashion itself. I even get slightly peeved at people who don't speak formally in lolita.

Does anyone get this feel?

I should probably have said I don't mean to speak in ye olde English. I mean no swearing, no conjunctions in words, etc etc. Essay style writing (if it was talking) without the academic pomposity.

Even then I'm not that fussed about it and I mostly do it out of concern for what people think of the fashion. Still pretty full on though.

She's so full of herself. Every day she flip flops between spouting her pious opinions in five paragraph status updates, or insecure about her appearance and fishing for compliments while humblebragging about her ~*~Barbizon~*~ auditions.
Then she writes shit like pic related where she acts like the most enlightened creature on the whole damn planet. She thinks she knows more than she does yet acts like an ignorant jerk to me, she can't even grasp concepts like why my reptiles can't just eat tofu.

Heyyy I know you! This girl sounds like a major wreck, I couldn't even read all that.

>>8957484
Shit man, yeah. I'm pretty much stuck going to this con myself without any friends I know going. Sucks man.

I used to be best friends with this girl but then she moved away to college and started playing WoW and now her whole life's online. She won't go to cons with me, she never wants to talk to me, we haven't seen each other in forever but she always keeps making excuses to avoid having a proper conversation. I used to message me and every time she'd give me half-assed responses and then go 'um sorry honey but I'm sooooper busy and I gotta study'... Then I see her pictures from a college party that same evening. I told her to message me when she's free but she never does.

I finally unfriended her, I know she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore but it still hurts. We used to go to cons together and weeb out all the time.

>>8958170
Hey, that sucks. Friendships change and evolve over time. It sounds like you guys don't have as much in common anymore. That's okay! You guys had some great times and you'll make new friends in the future who will share your love of cons and weeb-i-ness.

>>8958052
I know who you're talking about anon, just checked her facebook. She certainly seems like the type of person who can take a father daughter project and turn it into a pissing contest about who's got the bigger wardrobe.

I recently found out that I'll probably get in to the university program I wanted to attend and that I'm eligible for a prioritised apartment in that city, which in turn means that I can actually continue to attend conventions. Not the large, expansive ones but at least some of them which is much better than none of them. The weeb lives on.

>>8956982
I really wish I wasn't a lone lolita. Whenever I find a new dress to add to my wishlist or think up a neat coord idea or whatever I just want to talk about it. But I have no one to talk to.

I try talking to my mum but she can't even muster up the energy to pretend to be interested. She just brushes me off with "that's nice" and either ignores me or proceeds to talk about her headache/backache/whatever other ache she has today. It's like this with all my hobbies, even the ones we share. She wonders why we aren't close, but can't hold a conversation with me unless it is about her.

I'm planning on going to the next meet my local com is holding, hopefully that helps.

I really want my boyfriend to do at least one cosplay with me so badly. He's very supportive of my hobby but he turns down a lot of the ideas that I offer up for us to do as a couple. I wish he would be on board to do at least one couple cosplay and that would be enough for me.

The janitor should just have deleted your posts, not the entire fucking thread. Besides, the other anon was a fucking idiot for not knowing to include the search term for what they were actually looking for.

>>8958962
at least someone else acknowledges the other poster was completely retarded

I think I actually came across the profile of a cosplayer I met, but it was a total missed connection at the time, and it feels awkward to reach out to them given the circumstance. Not only that, but I'm just lost about how to get to know someone over the internet like this (I've never used the medium their profile is on either).
Honestly it feels like it would be easier to approach this if we were complete strangers to each other - not to say that's far off here, but the difference, no matter how small it is, is being a huge pain for me.

I just woke up a bit ago and went on youtube before getting up for breakfast, i found some old venus angelic videos posted by a fan from 2010 when she was around 14 like i was.

And it made me so so sad.

At 14 i was so excited about things like cons,lolita,trying to be a bit famous on the internet,looking cute,watching old youtube,dreaming to be kooter or venus back then...even though in school my life was awful i was still enjoying life and had many projects and not too much to worry about. Now i am turning 20

See, i was heavily bullied at school and suicidal/depressed and all that shit... so i think i never got to fully live my teenage years. I wish i could go back to being 14 sometimes you know?...

Though i am wearing lolita and sometimes i get the same excitment i had when i was 14. I even have pretty brand now! And blonde hair. Just like my 14yo self dreamed of.

I am kinda scared of getting old. But i know deep down, things will go ok in a way or another..right?

Why do so many of them have to be such fucking cheapos?? We don't go to expensive restaurants or a theme park that requires a $50 entrance fee. And if you are too dumb to manage your money and can't manage to save $10 a month to attend a meet, then just don't come. We all struggle sometimes, but don't try to force everyone else to cater to your needs.

>>8960353
Not necessarily. I don't mean to freak you out, but people can be surprisingly normal online and be psycho irl. Then again, most people are relatively sane and harmless, but it's difficult to gauge who might be which.

>I'll be rooming with a bunch of dudes for this con that's a long ways away from home
Kind of sounds like you're setting yourself up for a bad situation though. Not only are you completely dependent on people you've never met, but it sounds like you're not giving yourself a way out if it turns out that 1+ of them turn out to be nuts/rapey/killy/whatever.

If it's not too late and you're THAT concerned, I'd ask a trusted friend to come with you or something, and stay with that friend in a different room. You could also have additional funds set aside for an emergency plane ticket if things go south.

Reaching out to /cgl/ specifically wasn't a bad idea though. Chances are that other gulls will be at the con you plan on attending, and might be willing to extend a bail out if you end up needing it. Couldn't hurt to ask, anyway. (That's also the whole kind of "trusting the internet" issue, though...)

I'm talking myself in circles. Tl;dr: I'd personally bet you'll be fine alone, but having one or multiple backup plans is certainly not a bad idea.

>>8959682
I know. It was just very sudden so it still pretty fresh.

In the bright side, a friend is getting a new pup and I gave them some of my dog's old stuff. So at least I know her stuff is going to good use.

>>8957502
I'm so sorry anon, I know how hard it is to lose a pet. It'll get better with time, I promise.

>>8960353
No, you're being perfectly reasonable given that you're staying with a bunch of people who you've never met IRL and you're ages away from your usual support networks.
As horrible and mistrusting of the world that this sounds, >>8960435 is right about needing a plan B/C just in case they are all a bit psycho or have no idea of appropriate social norms. If I go meet strangers, I always make sure I tell someone where I'm going/when I'm expected to be back/where to look for my body if shit hits the fan, and I do the same for them, even if it's just a lolita meetup with totally new people.

>>8960353
I understand why you're worried, you probably shouldn't trust much in people you've met on the Internet. I mean if there was only one guy I would think it isn't that risky but with a bunch of guys you never know what could happen, specially since, I assume, they're all webs.

>>8960703

I'll never understand people who constantly attend out of state/country conventions and then cry to their tumblr followers that they can't afford food for the week. Straighten out your fucking priorities.

I'm in a strange point in my life where I wished I would go out more and be more sociable but also no one seems interesting enough to make want to hang out with them.

Well I don't know you so I can't say for sure, but I have known people who sound a lot like you.

They're really boring people, but are usually too egotistical to realize it. They expect other people to always take the lead and provide them with entertainment, never doing or being anything interesting or entertaining themselves. And when the people around them get sick of being a jester for this stuck-up stick in the mud, they stop bothering out of annoyance. But the egotistical stick just gets mad and cries it's everybody elses fault they're bored, it couldn't possibly be their own.

>>8957479
Anon, what are you doing?
It's really making me embarrassed for you that you had to explain what 'ye' means.

>>8960920
Not that anon, but to be fair it's really hard to tell apart actual boring people (who have no hobbies, don't watch the news, just sit at home and watch TV all day), the Caspar Milquetoasts of the world (ie timid lifestylers who like picking flowers in the forest, taking pictures of their herbariums, reading and baking) and people like the OP of the post. Any of those people can have friends (most of my classmates do fuck all in their spare time yet still manage to be popular), and what's boring to one person may not be to another. I for example find parties and hookups boring but someone else probably sees me as boring for sitting at home and knitting all day. So it's mostly a matter of perspective and shared interests.

>>8960972
I said I can't know for sure, but the way she immediately tries to blame her boredom on everyone around her, saying how THEY'RE all boring and uninteresting and it's all their fault makes me feel like I can guess what kind of person she is pretty easily.

She's probably the type that can't stand being by themselves. They need constant company and stimulation from outside sources, because they have nothing going on inside themselves, they're just an empty husk. The idea of curing her boredom with a hobby never even occurs to her, because she has no real interests of her own. She just expects everyone else to make her life fulfilling for her, and when they can't she gets upset and blames them and looks for new people, never realizing this will never actually work, and she'll never be happy until she can be happy with herself.

>>8959470

I dunno, i can tolerate myself not taking a shower for 3 days (weekend) if all i do is sleep and play vidya or something like that.

But as soon as i have to put in some physical effort im disgusted with myself if i dont shower. So i guess her bf is just a fucking autist.

>>8959733

Here is the thing. I might not be a cute loli, and im more on the cosplay side of the things. But as much as i know about lolita fashion, it can be pricy. I guess it could be cosidered sort of a hobby. And if you cant afford meet ups, then fucking don't go there.

Seriously, as you said, picknicks are a good alternative, but if you have the cash to dress up in whats probably worth around 300$ total sometimes more, you should have the ability to save up 10$ or more a month.

The best you could do is i guess get a cheaper place to hold a meet, but i can almost smell the drama that would come off that. >muh shitty place for meet

It wasn't a law per se, I think they were just honoring their own store policy, really admirable.

>>8961508
Thanks

It's fine. I just wish I'd discovered the con scene before I was 23.

Gulls, how do I stop caring about what people think of me?
Usually I can go for a day or two but then I relapse back into my shy spaghetti ways. I wanna befriend girls from my comm but as soon as one of them looks even the slightest bit bored/anything other than smiley and happy, I relapse and start thinking I'm bothering them and then stop talking to people altogether. Some of them can be very talkative and sometimes even arrogant but they don't seem to have any problems making friends at all nor do they care if they're bothering anyone. How do I become more confident for good?

>>8960997
Well you got one or two right but it's mostly wrong:
>She's probably the type that can't stand being by themselves.
Actually quite the opposite, I like better being by myself than with others
>The idea of curing her boredom with a hobby never even occurs to her
I have a lot of hobbies like cooking, reading, writing, play videogames, play the violin, watch series an anime, collect bjd, among others. But I'm still bored.
>She just expects everyone else to make her life fulfilling for her
Not really, it just occurred to me that it wouldn't be the worse thing to make friends, since I'm mostly by myself maybe that's what's missing

Anyway I just wrote that here to kill some time, like I said I'm really bored.

>>8961509
>you sound lovely

anon thank you, hearing people support me in this even if they are strangers means a lot

I'm the kind of person who if I love someone in any way (romantic/friendship/whatever) it's really hard for me to not give someone more chances

but this person has already left me behind before when I was sick, and they are doing it again now that things are getting rough for me at home

she even claimed I was making her look like a "bad guy" for asking her not to call me ugly

sorry for blogging again, but I really appreciate people recognizing that I'm not the one in the wrong and seeing that is helping me stay strong in not letting her back into my life

Either you just don't even look like a woman, or you're just rejecting every guy because you think you deserve someone way out of your league.

>>8961583
>>8961536
Can I join? Discovered cons at 19, but never had the money, skill, or time to devote to cosplay. Now I'll be 27 in August, and really just want to see well-crafted things be shown off by people who can do so, and quietly sneer at those who can't.

>>8961563
Not that anon, but sounds like a toxic friendship in general. Yeah, fuck them, and put more time into yourself and those with a proven track record. I hope your home life and health improve soon!

>>8961665
>Either you just don't even look like a woman, or you're just rejecting every guy because you think you deserve someone way out of your league.
I think you're oversimplifying things. After all, even ugly women can still manage to get dates and boyfriends.

Personally, I find men very intimidating. I grew up with a father who constantly verbally abused my mother and who cheated on her numerous times before they finally got divorced. I also had an aunt who was in a very abusive relationship, my uncle having gone so far as to brake her arm, and then later tried to get her to crash her car by chasing after her in his truck. Thankfully, she has since left him, but growing up around these kinds of men has caused me to develop an anxiety around men. I don't hate men and am well aware that not all of them are like that, but I am very easily intimidated by them so that makes it difficult to be in an intimate relationship.

I'm working out my problems and hope one day to be able to be in a healthy relationship and get a bf, but at the present moment that's not a possibility.

>>8961713
We should get jackets.

Personally I'm into comic conventions, which has an older crowd, so I don't feel quite as much of an outsider as older anime fans seem to. But I just don't understand how teenagers can afford to do conventions and cosplays with such a limited income. I'm so glad I came into this scene when I was older and had more disposable income.

>>8961544
I have the same problem, would really like some advice on this. I hate being so timid, it makes people forget I exist most of the time.

>>8961423
Then you are not bidding enough.

>>8957433
I feel this way about myself but I do not expect others to. I speak, walk, sit more formally in lolita and since I have started wearing lolita more often, this formality has become a pleasant habit. I would not feel anyone else has to do it because everyone enjoys the fashion in their own way but I do enjoy it this way.

>>8960739
If you only love someone when they do things for you and not at any other time then you just like the benefits of what they're doing, not them as a person. Love is a two way street, you both want to do things for each other.

>>8961798
Then it's basically just the other reason I gave.
You can't complain about not having something if you refuse every offer and actively work to avoid getting it.

>>8961900
She didn't say she was a stuck up bitch who thought every guy was below her standards, she said because of her own problems she knows she wouldn't do well in a relationship at the moment, and she just wishes she could because it's normal for people to want companionship. Don't be an ass.

>>8961544
Everyone is usually at a meet to socialize and get to know people. If someone is talking to you then chances are everything is fine. We have a few very quiet girls too and we like them just fine even if they do not talk as much. Just be yourself and your good qualities will come through gradually. Participate online between meets and let people know you had fun at the last meet and look forward to the next. Ask questions, ask for opinions, give genuine compliments.

>>8961920
I said basically. Sorry if anyone had any bad experiences before in their life, but I just don't see it as a valid complaint if the only thing standing in your way is saying "yes" instead of "no".

>>8961934
Not all relationships are equal. Just about any girl can get a bf one way or another, but what would be the point of saying yes if you know it'll be a shit relationship? I think it's pretty reasonable.

>>8961934
That's your problem then.

>>8961927
What if they're not? I always have to approach people first because nobody ever talks to me.

>>8961943
>oh woe is me, how I wish I had $20
>here is can give you $15
>sorry no thanks
>oh the tragedy of having no money!

>>8961969
I never understand people who act like a relationship is a commodity you get at a store. It's a really personal and individual thing. I think no relationship is better than a bad one but that's just me.

>>8961950
Keep trying and post in the group between meets on topics of interest. Maybe ask a comm mod or meet hostess to play a 'getting to know you' game either online or at a meet. Ask advice, try posting on lolita topics that interest you so you are a bit more visible? Maybe opinions on improving your coords? Anything to show your interest in the group and hobby should be ok if your comm posts discussions and opinion posts between meets. Know that 1/2 the stuff you read here on this board is either gossip, hearsay or crap posted by people who aren't even RL lolitas.

>>8961199
That's the point, they DO have the money for both their dresses and cons but they are being too cheap to pony up some dollars for comm meet-ups. Then what happens are the girls who DO like/want nice meets get tired of that decide to get together and go and the cheap crybabies cause drama, call 'elitist', private meet, so sad I was not invited, my comm sux.

>>8961994
What? I'm not even OP, and I'm not saying men are shit what the hell. Have you ever been in a relationship? Bad relationships aren't fun, and from what I can tell OP is saying the relationship would be bad because of her, not the other person. Stop projecting.

>>8962040
Women basically only see men as tools to be used for their own benefit. Think of yourself as a swiss army knife, and everything you own or can do as an attachment. A car is a very useful attachment to a woman because you can basically be her personal private driver who works for free and takes care of all the car related bills and maintenance by themselves. Whether you need a car is irrelevant, mens needs thoughts and feelings mean less than week old dog shit to women. It's all about HER, and what SHE wants.

Not having a car also generally indicates not having lots of money, which women hate because it means you can't buy HER as many expensive things as she wants.

It might sound harsh and unpleasant but just look at this threads reaction for proof.

kek I was joking, thought I don't know about the others, calm down m8

>>8962063
No, your country is plenty shitty. You just live in a small crowded city where everyone and everything is crammed close together. People who lives in crowded American cities often don't own cars either, there just a lot more to America than whatever speck of a country you live in.

And just because you don't own the car or public transportation vehicle you're traveling in doesn't magically mean it isn't polluting or that you'll never get in an accident. And even if you're saying you never ride in cars or any vehicles, it still doesn't mean you don't pollute or are never in danger.

Maybe you should be less concerned with your pride in which country your mother was in at the time she squeezed you out of her vagina, and more time being concerned with how stupid you are.

Can you actually explain how anything I said was wrong, or just get upset and cry like a child?
That's a rhetorical question of course

I keep seeing this posted but its pretty true. to get/maintain a relationship (outside of HS) you need to have at least 2/3 things

>Money
as in having a nice job, or just having money
>Personality
a good personality, which if you frequent /r9k/ you probably don't have.
>Looks


If you dont have at least 2/3 of these things, you're fucked.

and I understand its hard to admit your own personality is shit.

remember these three next time you're whining about "tfw no gf/bf"

*am resorting to
*making him a cosplay***

But seriously, I just lost my fucking job today, and this guy who knew I was working 50hrs a week in a different state makes that shitty of a comment to me over it? Sorry I'm not going to make you a costume for free, dude; if it's that fucking important to you then learn to sew and do it yourself. The fuck probably thinks I was making shit up to get out of doing work for him, since he deserves free work cuz "established" or whatever.

>>8962150
desu I'd just respond
"you must be 18+ to commission a cosplay from me"

>>8962168
I think that might be the best (worst?) part, this guy is like 40. Wayyy too old to be responding in passive-aggressive emoji because he didn't get his way.

>>8962172
Its kind of funny, when taking commissions, I've found that men age 40+ but usually 50+ are the most entitled. I wonder why?

>>8956982

>>8962147
Nah, men need all 3, and can just compensate for a bit of weakness in 1 with an overwhelming strength in another.

All women need is vagina, and to not be so fat that the vagina becomes inaccessible. But even that's too much in most women's eyes, hence the growing popularity of the fat acceptance movement.

>>8961205

Shit, my dad is the same way with my cosplay, from across the country. I feel for you Anon.

>>8962185
The type of guy that has standards that low probably isn't much of a catch himself.

>>8962185
judging by this post you have none of the three, so I can understand why you are bitter.

oh man...
bad feels:
>bought a cute pair of shoes from wunderwelt
>realized the next day, after I've already paid, they're actually about a size too small

I'm hoping that once they get here they actually fit semi ok, even if they're a little tight.

also some good feels
>find top tier dream dress on wunderwelt
>the day after I bought the shoes, but whatever
>it's pretty cheap and it even comes with the matching headbow
>buy that shit immediately

I'm pretty excited about the dress cause it was really hard to find and whenever I did it was super over priced, so I'm so glad I held out!

>>8962206
Yeah I'm sure you like to assume lots of bad things about anyone you disagree with so you don't have to acknowledge anything they say

>>8962185
I wouldn't take less than all 3 and a better attitude than you have because if you had all three you'd be considering more than just 'vagina' as a standard.
But I agree about the fat part for either sex, it's a sure sign someone isn't taking care of themselves. In before 'muh medical condition' yea that means managing your condition.

>>8962211
if someone disagrees with me, I don't necessarily assume negative things about them. If someone is clearly harboring a lot of salt, then I'm going to assume something made them salty.

I assumed based on your post of
"all women need is a vagina and to not be fat" that you are salty that fat chicks can find someone to date (seemingly with ease) while you are still single.

It is clear from your post that you are lacking in the personality department. It is also safe to say, that based on that special level of /r9k/ brand salt, you spend a lot of time on 4chan, which people who spend a lot of their time in that specific part of 4chan, are more likely to be unemployed. I went on a little bit of a stretch to say that you were unattractive as well, because if you were attractive, you'd at least attract some female attention (who would later be scared off by your lack of money and personality) but, lets face it, if you could attract women, you wouldn't be desperately trolling for their attention on an anonymous image board known for its female inhabitants.

ugh.

>>8962218
I have a job, in fact I'm at it right now. It doesn't require constant attention so I can pull out and use my phone regularly and type posts out bit by bit. I won't deny it used to go on /r9k/, but it's been like 4 years since I was last on it. Stopped browsing because it started becoming such a shitty unfunny place.
I'm sure my personality is deeper than you could fathom, and the things I think about for fun are more complicated than anything you've ever done, but there's no real way to measure or compare something like that so no point spending too much time on that.
Rating your own physical attractiveness is a pretty iffy topic due to how subjective it all is, but a few resolute facts are that I'm underweight, last shaved 3 days ago, and have no acne. In high school a girl was the one who asked me to go to prom with her. It sucked and I wish I hadn't gone but my parents forced me.

Believe whatever you want about me or my motivations, it won't change anything about either of us. I just enjoy telling people truths they don't like to hear. And women have lots of those.

>>8961437
>>8961443
Not bait lol wish it was. After weeks and weeks of passive aggressive comments about how much my hobby sucks his refusal to believe that it was totally different from adult baby pushed me over the edge. I've been feeling like shit lately because I'm not very good at most of my other hobbies but lolita is different, I do it for fun and I love the process of coording and...just knowing that he thinks it's stupid and that he doesn't want me to do it feels terrible. I explained this to him and he said nothing except "I don't hate you" which wasn't the problem....he doesn't respect me or my interests. So yeah I had a crying fit and called out of work. Haven't had a spell like that in months so I'm realizing I'm in a pretty bad place right now. Time to get back to therapy

>>8962264
He sounds like an asshole, stop getting upset over what he says to you and dump him already.

>>8962264
How long have you been with him, and how long has he been disrespecting you and your hobbies?

Cause you need to sit him down and tell him he's being disrespectful, and needs to cut it out and actually fucking listen to you.

If he isn't willing to listen or try to be respectful, then you need to break up with him because you deserve better then being with somebody who isn't going to listen to you, throw a bunch of passive aggressive comments at you like a little bitch, and doesn't respect you or your interests.

>>8962264
Well you certainly do sound like a baby.

>>8962267
Agreed. She should leave him so he can date a real adult. The longer he spends with this spastic womanchild the more at risk he is of her suddenly exploding and ruining his life.

>>8962273
I've been with him for about 3.5 years. I've only been into lolita for about 8 months but sinec the beginning he hasnt been silent about how much he dislikes it. Prior to this he never insulted my hobbies.

We had that talk and he listened for a while but the comments are coming back, right when I thought he was getting to be okay with it.

It's also not 100% him, I'm just stressed and feeling down in general lately. But I know you're right.

>>8962276
Honestly they both sound pretty terrible.

>>8962278
This.

We don't even know if she's a good lolita; if she's ita, I could totally support him in his opinion and not wanting to be seen with someone dressed both strangely and shittily. He sounds like a normie, and if he's not able to give her concrit on her coords, the only way he may know how to approach it is by saying outright rude things like that in an attempt to get his viewpoint through to her.

Still, if he's incapable of respecting the hobbies and things his girlfriend enjoys, he's a shit person too.

So that sounds like a fun situation.

What would be the perfect /cgl/ friend, gulls? I was thinking how great all my friend groups are (they are saving me from being overwhelmed by work right now), but I sometimes wish I could find someone who shared *all* my hobbies like the greedy bitch I am.

>tfw no friend who is weeb trash that roleplays with me on Google Docs and makes shitty inside jokes, turns up for cosplay, dresses in j-fash/Lolita, and goes on adventures ranging from midnight walks to clubbing to cross country trips

I'm really craving a j-fash best friend because I have best friends who I adore but won't let me dress them up.

I'm aware there is a friend thread but as I'm not actually looking for this famed person with my moving plans uncertain, this will stay a feel.

>>8962375
Is this pasta or did you put it in another thread, I'm getting major deja vu.

>>8962365
I don't ever wear my outfits around him, just to meets. So he doesnt have to worry about being seen with me. But at the same time he gives me shit about that too though, saying im wasting money on things I barely wear. So idk what he wants.
I'm not the best but I'm definitely not ita.
I've gotten a fair amount compliments on here and from girls at meets.
He's not a normie, we both have fringe interests. But he's very judgmental of pretty much anyone and anything, especially anything that is getting to be popular. He recently has been on both a "fashion is stupid, for people who are bad at art" and "Japan is stupid, they are so " quirky"" kick so it makes sense to me that he doesn't like lolita.
He also does not hold back so if something looked terrible about a coord he would say something, whether or not he knew the specifics of the fashion. So I don't think it's my particular take on lolita he hates. I think he just finds the whole concept of it embarrassing. Which is fair but, as I've told him, he doesn't have to express that to me any chance he gets.

>>8962377
There's just no other way to get across how stupid you are.

Why are you so triggered by such a simple truth anyways? All you need is your vagina and you're guaranteed to succeed in life. It's why women are always so boring, shallow and stupid, because they don't need a brain. I don't get why you don't just try to brag about it. Is it because you want to actually feel proud of your life?

>>8962378
Neither, but someone might've asked a similar question on another thread.

See look. They're completely incapable of even coming up with original insults. Because why would they need the ability to come up with original things? They have a vagina, they don't need to be original.

I didn't think I would live to 24
But I have
It feels so wrong
I can even commit to cosplays anymore. Nothing brings me joy.

>>8962415
But one of the reasons I have so much lolita is because my boyfriend is the opposite, he encouraged me to wear it when I said I liked it and he has bought me lots of my pieces. And I'm not immature, I just like pretty clothes over plainer ones, I always have. Before I wore lolita, I wore romantic gothic skirts and gypsy style blouses, more like Strega, dark-looking but still feminine. There's nothing inherently red-flag about lolita. Any girl who is fashionable will like nice things of one kind or another.

>>8962470
Nah.

Like 95% of lolitas are insane, and best avoided.

I'm 99% sure this guy just trawls every thread looking for an opportunity to try and start shit. He's commented on stuff before because he has literally nothing else to do with his life than go on 4chan and yell at women for being 'entitled', because obviously he got turned down by a woman (or multiple) because he's a fucking creeper living in his mum's basement, furiously brushing the crumbs off his keyboard every time he sees a chance to tell those meanie-pie women what he thinks of them.

I really want a cosplay friend that sews their own cosplay. Most of my friends don't sew their cosplays, which is fine but it's hard to have little cosplay making seshes when they have their moms sew their cosplays or they thrift their cosplay. I'm basically the only one in the group who makes my own cosplays. I was friends with one chick that also sews all of her cosplays as well, but she has become so busy with life that she doesn't even cosplay anymore.

She sounds like she has daddy issues and will end up marrying a 2intelligent4you athiest that beats her.

I've gotten to the point where I don't know if my boyfriend is slowly becoming mentally abusive or if it's just stress from the Japanese job hunting system plus lack of common sense. Last weekend we had a huge fight (or rather my bf was hugely mad at me & seemed to want to break up) for me not answering my phone. He wanted me to bring him something he forgot home and I didn't answer because I had forgotten my phone on silent mode and was cleaning the house. We have been dating for over 3 years. At the same time last week, his foot were really hurting from some running we had done some days earlier. He claims that that running broke some muscle from his foot even though the pain only started several days after the running. He claims it will most likely never heal and was blaming me for it because I was the one that had suggested running.

We made peace last week and his feet have been fine this week but now he just messaged me again to tell that his feet hurt because he had to walk so much last weekend (to go back home and fetch his stuff by himself). Meaning he still blames me for the feet even though he denied it when I straight out asked about it.

There have been several fights like this (cases when he gets overly mad for small things/blames me for stuff that I really have no control on) over the past half a year since I moved to live with him in Japan. We have lived together for a year in my country before but these things never happened there or during our long-distance. On the other hand, his job hunting started around the time I moved in with him so there is the stress factor. (as if I am not suffering from stress from moving to and living in a foreign country but meh)

There. Had to get it out of my chest. Cgl related because I'm a cosplayer living in Japan with Japanese husbando so every weeaboos day dream on the outside I guess. Be careful about what you daydream about fellow younger weeaboos.

Can he walk or stand without pain? If so then he's probably lying about his foot. If he thinks that he's never going to run again and it's all your fault he should probably go to a doctor or something first.

Second, Yes people can be stressed out and you should try to be supportive (but there is a limit). If he's blaming you for everything that's wrong then he's an ass and you should probably break up with him.

I think they mean that they wanted a pack but couldn't get one not that they got one and everything in it sucked.

>buys artist booth, first time doing a bigger con so putting all motivation into doing prints for months and months with friend, total hype ensues
>con is in the beginning of July, wedding is at the end of July
>inform work that I would like to request time off, work says that I'm more than welcome to for the wedding (three weeks off) but tells me that they can't confirm the con time due to it falling on the fourth of July (four days off)
>how they run things is that no one can request time off during holidays, they want everyone available during that time, heck might not even work that one day
>I've been working there for 5+ years , haven't gone on vacation for a year, always come in during my days off for them

All of my rage.

I think OP meant that it costs over 500$ which is a bit ridiculous to which anon suggested selling some of the items they get to make back the costs, and you're the only person misunderstanding anything here

Tfw my girlfriend of over a year dumped me. She was into lolita and cute stuff and she got me hooked. I'm starting to get really into lolita and making pastries and just general cute stuff, but sometimes I see some lolita things and it reminds me of her, and then I feel terrible. I want to be in a relationship again, so I can talk about cute things and just have that feeling again, not like my affection is disposable or anything, its just I feel empty.

I can't stop looking at lolita things and getting into lolita in general without thinking about her, I hate how she was the one that got me into it.

Good thing all the material I got was 50% off.

>>8963262
A lot of jobs. Maybe you should get one and find out.

>>8963262
The only holiday that doesn't count is Christmas, but other than that you can't request other holidays. I've even had to fight them a couple times to get Easter weekend off because my local con is around then...

I'm getting to the point where if I don't get the time off (hell I spent over 300+ dollars on the damn table), I'm probably going to be looking for another job.

>>8963267
I have one, but it's a corporate-type job. I've never worked in retail or anything.

>>8962245
Make this the new copypasta

>tfw dog died the day before con

Don't even wanna go anymore

>>8963264
What sort of pattern did you try for the onigiri? I've made a few balls using the baseball pattern, but they turned out similarly mongoloid.

>>8963503
What do you mean by pattern (sorry I'm new to sewing in general)? If you mean material I just used black and white fleece. I also followed this tutorial

>>8963230
What's bait about anything I said? No mature functional adult should cry and miss work over something so trivial. And the only reason so many people here are sympathetic is because they're just as immature and unstable.

>>8963539
pattern is how you cut the fabric out, most people download and print one or sketch one themselves. I'm not watching the video but already from the thumb I have high doubts on the quality of this tutorial.

>>8963063
Insist on taking him to a doctor. I'm not sure how they are over there but I'd you can tell them exactly what he told you.
I want this fuck to feel some shame

>>8963441
Oh that's really sad. I'm sorry anon. I think you should go to the con though because seeing friends is a good thing to do when you're grieving and they can support you.

As stupid as this might sound, I wish I could just once be at the top of a tag when I search for cosplay on IG or get a ton of notes on one of my cosplays on tumblr. It doesn't matter where it is actually, I'd just really like to get some appreciation and exposure, just once. I think it would help my self esteem tremendously but I was always too shy or too afraid to put myself out there. It's easier to be self-deprecating.

Did the newer feels thread get deleted? What happened?

>>8967452
Too much talk of boobs and dicks I guess.

I don't mind posting here because its autosaging anyway.

>Take a hardcore course of antibiotics for inner ear infection.
>Immediate yeast infection as a side effect.
>Okay whatever, I'll go get that 3-dose cream when the course is finished.
>Pharmacy offers me their own brand of it, exactly the same stuff just $5 cheaper! Alright!
>So the tube of cream and 3 plunger-type syringes.

These things might as well have been fucking McDonald's straws. I immediately cut myself on the OUTSIDE with the razor-sharp edge and bled everywhere.
I wouldn't have been able to get it in at the best of times, let alone while it's all swollen and raw.

I have to go back and get the 'real' version (which has a soft rounded tip), but I'm considering taking this one back and making them refund it.

Fucking awful.
