Post your favourite jfashion/cosplay instagrams, share tips to grow your audience, selfpost etc.
>>9106958
lol everyone is too scared to post to these now
>>9106958
Why not.
@i_live_in_tokyo
I don't necessarily post about Jfash related things, but I post pictures of living in Tokyo.
In college I was super into Jfash but now I work for a major Japanese corporation which has limited my ability to dress up fun (Cute OL style for life)
Still, I like exploring fashion neighborhoods and while I don't have those pictures up yet, I hope to post them soon. If you're interested in Japan beyond just fashion, please do follow!
My Instagram for cosplay progress is @rip.tire
I'm doing a really bad Junkrat.
Has anyone else had an influx of those spammy "click on link for sexy pics bby xox" accounts following them lately?
I've had about 20 in the last week or two. I just report them, but god, I usually only get one or two every few weeks. The fuck is up?
>>9111787
Oh i've been getting those too! and the ones that have [I'm in [city] for one night! Message me!!]
>>9109407
What happened? People used to post in these all the time
https://www.instagram.com/jelly_ultra/
I post my craft updates and occasionally cute toy pictures.
I'm new to insta, what are the tags in Japanese for lolita/lolita fashion?
probably a social justic ewarrior lol!!!
https://www.instagram.com/diecisscum/
>>9113819
lolitafashion, eglcommunity, classiclolita (or sweet/ gothic/ oldschool/ broad theme like country etc), and brand names like angelicpretty
>>9113880
If I use google translate for those terms would that be accurate enough, then?
>>9113859
so do you just do this because any attention is good attention or what
>>9113819
ロリータファッション
>>9113892
Oh shit I read that wrong! Try #ロリータ
#ロリィタ #ゴスロリ (the last of which mainly comes up with gothic stuff)
>>9113910
Why do I have an Instagram? Probably for the same reason you have an Instagram.
Why did I post it in this thread? Because it's an Instagram share thread.
I really don't see the issue.
>>9111797
people are jelly? or just plain salty/vendetta and rip on the people who post, cute or not.
Since people are too scared to post their inatagrams why not talk about filter apps?
What apps do you all like to use?
I personally like to use picute and rakuga cute.
>>9111787
yup, I get tons of annoying s4s and f4f shit all the time too. And local businesses like some of my photos?
fuck facebook.
>>9113910
I've seen some pretty sad insta trolls. It's like watching a normie attempt trolling for the first time.
There was one where the girl was named "whitewashedazn" or some dumb shit and she was doing like an oldschool freakout on some jap idol's instagram because they were doing a throwback to ganguro and was arguing with every single person who commented and then changed their username when called out on it so they could continue arguing.
>>9114150
Yup, it's no fun allowed here now.
>>9113859
A+ taste in dolls, fampai.
>>9113859
>https://www.instagram.com/diecisscum/
I gotta ask what's with that name, though. Even if it's ironic, you're going to attract the worst people to your instagram.
Will some cosplaying Seagulls post their instas? I need to follow more fellow cosplaying Chan posters!
I'll bite, I just made a separate Instagram for cosplay the other day, right now it's just ur basic comic book babe outfits and then some progress on a prosthetic I'm working on
>>9115011
Instagram has become so full of babby's first troll and drama mongering. I am also so annoyed at all the unsolicited advice that I get from people who don't even do whatever they're critiquing (drawing, prop making, weightlifting, etc). It seems like a lot of hate IGs have been popping up too.
selfposting no1curr
open to concrit tho
instagram.com/bishojoxo
>>9115014
Thank you my friend.
>>9115027
Only my irl friends follow me mostly. I don't get any tumblrinas and I've had it for 3 years or so.
If anything, people avoid me.
I picked it as a joke and I would change it now because people I meet irl wont follow me back. Maybe that's because my posts are terrible idklol. I just can't give up such an awful name and let some tumblrina take it.
Either way it doesn't matter to me. It's just a name and the only reactions I get are on cgl and only in the last few months.
>>9115085
I saw your prosthetic in the Undertale thread; it's looking pretty cool so far!
>>9115112
Good taste in figures too btw. You're cute as well.
>>9115218
thank you!! i've made the bottom lip fishier and eye scar gnarlier since then, but idk if i should update my ig since thats all ive been posting lately....
>>9115101
I'm glad I haven't gotten that yet, but the span followers are fucking annoying. There's got to be a way to block that shit, right?
Also I follow some lolcow's to see ridiculous amounts of back peddling, baby's first troll can be pretty entertaining.
instagram.com/tiffdawgg
self posting and looking for other cosplay gulls to follow. i love cosplayers who post WIP pics. seeing the process is so interesting.
What's the consensus on tagging casual outfits that are lolita-ish but not entirely lolita? I don't want to tag something #lolitafashion and end up in the ita thread for wearing a plain top and normie shoes with an IW skirt. I don't want to enrage the otome-chans by misusing their tag, either. Should I just stick to brand names?
>>9117730
If you tag lolita but wear less than full coords, you'll likely get posted.
I'm having a laughably difficult time finding instagrams to follow; I'm mostly interested in personal/anime people in particular. I like to see other people's merch and rooms and stuff, but also want to see cute selfies or just stuff from their daily cute lives as well. Sadly most accounts seem to be all merch pics (very impersonal) or all selfies, if anyone has any recommended accounts I would love to know about them!
wonder why this thread is so dead? I feel like lots of people always share their instas in here. Did something happen in the last thread to put people off or something
>>9118018
Cgl has been infiltrated by a bunch of whiney nitpickers recently. Even the 10/10 cosplay thread has people ripping apart really great cosplay for no reason.
Usually I would post my insta in a minute but I'm pretty uncomfortable with rn
>>9118018
yep, the same thing that's been happening in self post threads. Too much vendetta, too many people shitting on girls who look fine, nitpicking, etc.
>>9118058
So it's not usually this bad? Thank god
>>9118092
Its just summer. People are bored and have nothing to do. So nitpicking on something perfectly fine is what they resort to.
>>9118146
It's not this bad during the winter but there are still trolls year round. The summer meme is like only 60% of the problem.
/tv/ got so bad but managed to get better after enough people complained. /cgl/ shouldn't be any different.
what's the deal with people who like all your stuff but won't follow back
>>9120579
pity likes?
>>9120579
I do this to people sometimes and its so I can look at nice coords but if they post a lot of stuff I'm not interested in then I don't want it randomly showing up on my feed.
>>9120579
People do this every so often and disappear, it's usually someone just desperately looking for a follow. It's really annoying because I get really excited seeing a notification for like 100 likes just after posting a coord, but it's just someone going through my photos and liking them all. It's a bit weird.
>>9120679
mintkismet or bububun? They've done that with my photos a lot but don't follow me.
>>9120725
Yea it's mintkismet
>>9120738
I just don't expect e-famous lolitas to follow me back even if they like my photos. Still waiting to get noticed by lovelylor and kammiepomeranian.
>>9120722
I'm more annoyed by people who constantly follow/unfollow you in an attempt to grow their numbers
Does anyone else get followed by a bunch of DDLG instagrams :(
>>9120753
Yeah exactly. Lor for example has tens of thousands of followers, why would she want to follow me?
>>9120768
Wtf what are you doing to get so many of them? If you post anything ageplay related they are going to find you.
>>9120770
Lor followed me on other social media sites and I'm about as nobody as it gets.
>>9120772
Share your secrets!
>>9120768
If you can't beat em, join em
Sorry it's not very cgl related, but I'm trying to get back into art and would love it if some fellow artists would maybe follow and give concrit?
@rayenae
>>9120768
I'm a little and don't understand why lolita accounts keep blocking me? I just want to show my daddy the pretty dresses?
>>9120781
Because there's a huge stigma with people thinking Lolita=ageplay and a lot of Lolita's are uncomfortable being associated with the fetish
Who the fuck is this rubanchat that keeps spamming everyone in the mistysky tag about her crap giveaway?
Does anyone have Instagram shops they like to follow? Like more cute Lolita accessories like these? xx
>>9120785
don't fall for the goddamn bait, jesus
I'm instagram.com/magicalgirlfab
I post Lolita, cosplay, videogames and other geeky stuff
>>9120786
She's that Shiri girl who uses her bf's money to buy ~rare~ dresses, wears them once in a shit coord on cof then sells them for profit.
>>9120786
She's the one who always poses with her hand on her neck like she needs to apply pressure to a wound
>>9120785
But a lot of Lolita clothes are used in ageplay? I don't get why people have to discriminate :(
>>9120799
Does she really immediately sell them?
>>9120786
She posts so many fucking photos in a row. We get it, you have a lot of dresses.
>>9120804
gtfo ageplayer
>>9114921
this please, i need new filter/sticker apps, was using decopic but that's going sooo
>>9113859
You have cute dolls and good taste and I wish I was your friend.
>>9114921
InstaBeauty is really nice. It even puts makeup on you and you can make it really subtle
>>9120804
No they aren't. Very few age players post wearing lolita, they just reblog it. Back to your playpen, baby troll.
>>9120786
Isn't she the one who got banned from APUSA for the Holy Lantern fiasco?
>>9120768
>>9120771
I get a lot of ageplay followers. I post tame moeblob drawings, G rated anime figures, and plushies. I have no idea why there are so many ddlg accounts following me, really. In my rare selfie or ootd post (maybe 5 out of 60 posts), I am always wearing plain clothes like jeans. I get really pissed when they tag me in their ddlg questionnaires -- I think that's when my hatred for them really started.
The only hashtags I use are things like #drawing or #sketch and the name of the anime that my figures are from. Most of my posts don't have tags at all. I think it's because 2-3 of my friends are into ddlg (although their actual content is never ddlg), so they find me in their comments or I end up in their feed that way. I made my account private, but I still keep getting requests from ddlg accounts.
>>9121052
I've had more and more try to request me too. And I barely post jfashion anymore. I guess they're leaking in from tumblr.
Is there no way to stop this other than blocking them?
>>9114921
I love BeautyCam, especially their filters. But it kinda brings down the quality though that seems to be the case of a lot of filter apps.
>>9121058
I don't think there's really any way to stop them, sadly. I had an artist acquaintance of mine post in her bio that she would block all underage bdsm accounts since a lot kept following her, and she felt uncomfortable being followed by 13 year old "littles." They ended up not only continuing to request to follow but getting ANGRY at her for not allowing her own fucking IG to be a "safe place."
>>9120768
I block them. Better less followers than these. It's not as bad as on tumblr but it's still a thing.
>>9120781
go on brand websites then and stop dragging other people into your fetish. dd/lg trash always go on about how they "keep it in the bedroom" but they're constantly exposing people who want nothing to do with it to their nasty kink and that's why everyone hates you
>>9111808
Followed you. Your stuff is so cute!
I just started up one for my craft stuff. It's a bit empty atm.
https://www.instagram.com/battyandcatty/
>>9120781
Why? It's not like he's going to buy you any.
>>9121014
That's her. Too bad all that money can't fit her face and her shitty fried asf hair.
>>9121320
She bought HL during the rerelease and her bf also got her a dress, and she was bragging everywhere that she cheated AP USA and got two and was basically just going to scalp one.
>>9121320
Rubanchat/Shiri tried to circumvent the rules at APSF to get two Wine HL. Then when she was caught she whined and cried all over the internet because she didn't get them. She then bought them from secondhand scalpers since she's banned from AP.
She also is one of those Lolitas that buys status dresses, takes pictures in a photo shoot of them and then sells them. She whined and cried about the navy HL then got it. Took photos of it and then turned to sell it for mark up.
It's on lolcow and the archives. Just search rubanchat and Shiri holy lantern you will find the whole story.
>>9120773
Guess I'm not the only one that finds her annoying.
>>9121334
And she couldn't stand the fact that there was a british bear mto, and put up a URGENT WTB!!! for any cut/colour of british bear just so she can take pics of it, claiming that she couldn't wait till July for it. Too bad all that money can't fix her shitty shopped face and lack of style.
>>9121295
Can confirm. When I first started coming to this board it was because I meant to click on /ck/ and instead I got this and just started shitposting.
But now I actually wear lolita....
>>9121320
? Chill out I've never seen her here before. You sound so vindictive and bitter that no one gives you attention.
>>9121449
my instagram isn't in this thread but nice try
>>9121498
Then stop being a cunt that someone gets attention and you don't when you don't even post.
>>9121505
is she even getting attention
>>9121346
That's funny, anon. "I just came for some recipes and food talk and boom, next thing I know I'm a shit-posting fashionista".
/cgl/ claims another victim!
>>9121521
Enough to make you bitch about it. You don't have to be so jealous lol
>>9121597
Die cis scum
>>9121533
/ck/ has a lot of funposting compared to this place.
Also they had a successful self post thread once. /cgl/ can barely do that.
>>9120796
your side pony tail with that btssb dress is rockin' girl.
>>9120966
feel free to try i guess
i may or may not follow you back depending on how interested i am in your posts but its nothing personal
Selfposting
@cristy_ella
>>9122255
I like /ck/. If I posted recognizably on the chan, I'd probably post there befor any other board.
>>9121341
Did she get British Bear? That's funny. I'm someone who doesn't sell that much so I'm the opposite, slow to buy.
Instagram is going to offer a way to filter comments and/or disable them. Thoughts? I'll be happy to screen out the ageplayers
>>9122472
I know some people are looking forward to disabling the comments of the really creepy guys.
>>9122471
So what? That's the point of these threads in the first place. Are you mad you aren't getting followers?
>>9122475
I would love to be able to stop the same few guys from commenting "Beautiful!", "Gorgeous!" whenever I randomly decide to post a selfie. No matter how many times you say it, I'm still not going to talk to you.
>>9111394
Following just for the OL style anon, myself am becoming a corporate drone in a few years so I need inspo
Everyone, I am being stalked by someone placing mean stuff on my posts. Please like, follow me and comment on my pictures so the mean stuff won't be noticeable anymore! I don't deserve the negative attention :(
how come people do that thing where they add tags into a separate comment? Less clutter?
>>9123183
Sometimes I do so if I share to another site there aren't a bunch of dumb tags in the post
>>9123112
just delete the comments
>>9122838
Can't you just block those persons? I do this since it's annoying and a little creepy
>>9123234
I would but I guess I'm just too nice. One of them is another artist and I really do like his work. The other two are cosplayers that liked my page from a Facebook group so I thought they were just nice but clearly they just think I'm cute or something. They haven't said anything really gross/inappropriate or I would've blocked them a long time ago
>>9122305
Thank you!
>>9123112
Is this your first time to cgl or....?
>>9114921
Beautycam for their sparkle and geometric shapes (PlayStation buttons lol) filters
RakugaCute bc it's the only solid purikura app on iOS and Android now
Snapeee bc I downloaded and bought stickers while it was still around
>>9122460
I self posted there with zero issues. It's literally the chillest board, but probably because it's mostly drunks now.
>>9106958
Requesting larme related IGs
@slowpokecosplay
I mostly focus on posting my Lolita coords, reposts of stuff I've put on my cosplay page, and just general stuff that I find cute or interesting.
>>9123112
Are you guys who are replying to this complete idiots? Someone is pretending to be her, so people will hate her too. Jesus
I'll post.
Food, jfashion, cute stuff. I follow back lolitas and similar.

I post exclusively outfit shots and selfies, trying to balance it more towards outfits though. @nefferinthia
>>9125995
well i for one am replying to the poster and not the owner of the account
I post Liz Lisa and cute things
Its a work in progress. I'm open to crit and saving up for a better camera phone, I post mostly natural kei, jfash and occasional nerd things.
>>9126619
good for you, you're so smart
>>9124323
same. I used to not enjoy the fashion but honestly if you leave those stupid heart shaped sunglasses out of things it's all fine.
>>9126993
But if you don't wear the Lolita sunglasses how will daddies know you're dtf?
>>9126991
thank you i do my homework every night for just for this kind of situation
>>9126996
Because without them it's like dressing how Madonna did in the 80s.
I will now hesitently self post, and hope for the best. I post mostly vk stuff as well as other j fashions.
>>9106958
Vallelated
I use insta for my cosplay social media since I don't have the titties to make a Facebook one,
>>9113923
I looked up this tag and they're were so many weeby westerners in it

>>9127646
I think your stuff is cool, don't worry.
Just started using insta, looking to follow other gulls and cosplayers!
>>9128262

>Just started using insta
Are you dumb?
>>9128468
>bumping a saged post

>>9128262
It only took you 4 posts to start posing for strangers in your underwear. A+ intagram whoring, girlfriend!
Requesting classic/gothic instas to follow! I feel like I'm already following the more popular ones, but it's hard to tell since they don't really get as big as sweet lolita instas.
>>9128632
Ew
>>9128803
She looked like an oversensitive tumblrina, probably for the best desu
Not 100% cgl related atm however hopefully soon I'll be able to make space for more ootd photos but in the meantime, if people like flowers/nature/animals then I've started uploading some of my photography work
Sure
@syaokitty
I'm trying a schedule ontop of normal posting.
Drawings monday
Con tbt are tuesday
Videogame stuff is wed
Figure pics are thursday
Cosplay is friday
Cat pics are saturday
And selfies are sunday.
Hey guuuyss!!! I'm trying to get sponsored by kawaii shops but need more followers :( so please follow mee! Thanks!!! <3

Can't even tell if b8 or serious
>>9130267
Thank (You), too
@jubinkle is my semi personal/lolita acc. would be delighted to follow back similar!!
>>9130482
Homegirl needs some bangs to cover up her 5head. Her flat hair is unflattering as fuck too.
>>9130134
At least take a recent screenshot of her account, fuck.
>>9130305
This thread needs to die. It's just vendetta and spam.
>>9130134
Vendetta. I follow her and she doesn't talk like that
>>9131109
good to know you follow an overshooped alien wannabe
>>9131113
What's so wrong about Pineberry? She's cute. Almost all the girls photoshop. You need to chill
>>9131116
dude gtfo. no one cares if you want to lick her cunt.
>>9131116
>she's cute
Which face is your favorite?
>>9131154
I follow her too. Looks like she might use a beauty cam or something. I've seen other gulls asking about them lately so uh... not sure what the issue is here.
Can we please get over "weh you edited a photo of yourself!!"
Maybe it's just the old timey part of me that remembers editing photos relentlessly to blog on livejournal and make those god awful fandom type gifs with all kinds of filters.
I know how to use photoshop pretty well because of the hundreds of tutorials I used to go through.
Photo editing and creating filters was fun and using them on my phone is fun and I'm sure other girls feel the same way.
Why is this a fucking problem?
>>9131154
>top left
>>9131185
It's the same as the posts further up complaining about girls having successful instagrams. Cgl is forever bitter jelly about people appearing to be better off than them--nevermind I'm sure everyone ITT uses selfie apps like that, no! She must be a fake bitch! That's the only conclusion!
>>9131189
Pretty sure that's as close as we'll ever get to seeing her unshooped.
>>9131185
Good to see she's sending over her whiteknights. Lemme guess she posted something like "wah teh 4chan is bullying me and is going to hack my account! Please defend me and I'll show you my Asian pussy in return! :(((("
>>9131199
I'm pretty sure this is the same anon that complains about Zekia "shooping" her face.
>>9131211
Robestpierre on Instagram and Zekia Cosplay on Facebook. She posts in the self-post thread pretty often and every time she does people will post something like REEEEE SHOOPED ASIAN BITCH without fail.
>>9131215
>looks them up
Not the same anon, but...she's definitely shooped. Whatever makes her happy but I'd personally tone it down. Everyone shops themselves but that seems like a lot imo
>>9131211
Yup, typical broken record responses it looks like. Any crutch they can use, ya know?
@classicalkawaii
I post lifestyle pictures, ootd, and jfash pictures. I'd love to follow back similar!
summer be damned, I'll bite.
I pretty much only post lolita and food. I may post pictures of my figures in the future, but I haven't decided if I should on this account or not. I don't post very often, outfit shots on most weekends and random lolita related stuff in between.
Bordeaux.eulalia
>>9131322
>eulalia
Nice.
>>9131202
Do you have any proof she gives away her "Asian pussy"?
>>9131225
I think she shoops her jaw thinner/less round, but I've seen her in person and her facial structure and features are pretty similar to what it is in her selfies.
>>9131300
This, A really needs to tone down her vendetta. It's so obvious, especially when she bitches about Zekia to other people.
>>9131367
Anon, are you dense?
>>9131516
Generally people who post vendetta don't realize how blatant it is.
>>9131116
>Almost all the girls Photoshop
Oh anon...
Can someone tell me what app this is? I've seen some people use it but I can't figure out where or won't tell me
>>9131623
Linecam but the stickers aren't Linecam's in-app ones. They're transparent images/vectors overlayed on the picture through the app.
To add the images/vectors, go to the heart in the menu (the one that leads you to stickers) and tap on "crop". It'll open up your photos and then you can pick what to put on your picture and resize the vector, etc.
>>9131367
>proof
what is this? PULL?
>>9113859
>https://www.instagram.com/diecisscum/
holy shit you are SO cute! love your im@s collection too.
>>9131632
Oh!!! I never knew that. Thanks! I'm gonna save a bunch of transparent images now
>>9131154
you look asleep in every one. I would learn how to liven up your eyes.
>>9131759
d-do you realize you're replying to vendetta anon, not the girl in the pics?
>>9122844
oh sorry, I don't post any picutres of outfits. just photos of japan since I like taking pictures and need motvation to get out of the apartment on weekends.
hopeful bump for some new accounts instead of salt and vendetta.
I started an insta for cosplay but I haven't found a nice aesthetic I like yet ? I have just been experimenting. Should I stop posting as often till I find something I like ?
>>9130057
I like how organized your posting schedule is.
My instagram is only occasionally cgl
>>9127646
ohhhhh youre that hot guy from that con. sorry but I want you to know you have an admirer!
>>9133461
fat
>>9131202
I wish she'd show me her pussy but she has yet to even speak to me dude.
>>9133231
You should stop posting period.
>>9133797
lmao
>>9133842
That's disgusting. I hope she figures out which one of her stans you are and blocks you.
>>9133842
>I'm not her white knight!
>I'm totally thirsty for her
Ok, white knight. Ok.
>>9114921
I just use line camera.
The app lets you crop in your own photos, so I just download a bunch of pngs to use as custom stickers.
>>9133842
>>9134400
>>9111739
Are you solely doing junkrat? Cuz your username says a lot.
>>9134846
I'm not even troll anon but what the fuck. Keep your thirst to yourself and it's also super weird because that girl's shooped face makes her look like she's 10.
>>9135063
>keep it to yourself
I was being accused of whiteknighting her because apparently she shows her vag to people who will.
I was merely saying she's never shown it to me and that if she did, I wouldn't be mad.
>>9133797
> you're that hot guy
> guy is basically made up in drag
Why do women these days like faggots?
>>9135548
At this point I'm pretty convinced that you're either
>vendetta anon
>someone who hates her and is trying to make her look bad
or
>Pineberry herself
Who else would put in so much effort to "defend" someone with less than 200 followers and is a nobody?
>>9113859
I just want to let you know that I think you're super cute!
Is there any program you can like, login to and it automatically archives all the photos in the accounts you follow?
>>9135704
This guy is a ftm trans who is also into cosplay, Gothic culture, as well as visual kei. I don't see many guys not wearing into those things not doing the same. If that makes me a faggot whatever. I like being a faggot then.
Looking for more Lolita Instas to follow, particularly Classic & Gothic. Any suggestions?
Also Makeup Instas that do cosplay, too!
I really want to get into setting a theme. Id love to see some of your favorite themes or what you guys do.
Also heres my selfpost.
>>9137550
>not any of the anons you replied too
Multiple replies in one post have always been a thing. It's far easier to reply to multiple posts at once than to type out individual posts for each. Don't know what it's like on your home board though.
>>9137542
Knife chin shoop face so kawaii
>>9137555
And you guys thought that girl up-thread was bad...
>>9137555
I will agree the 3rd one is sucks alot
>>9137562
Imo top left is the worst. Top right makes her look like a damn Eikkibunny wannabe.
>pic is Eikkibunny
>>9137572
Oh god, thats terrible. She looks like a pizza alien demon. I will not to do that again. Sometimes its hard to see how awful things look until its pointed out.
>>9137315
I am the guy.
Many of you post themselves on instagram but I wouldn't dare posting any photos of myself personally. I kind of want to create an acount to post my photos of things I see in cons and vidya things though, wouldn't it be weird?
>>9137172
Maybe you can set up something on IFTTT?
>>9137542
You've already set a theme: bad photoshop.
>>9137860
You seem pretty new; people only complain about multiple replies when it's one person giving their opinion about basically every single photo in a thread, since it's obnoxious as hell.
>>9135704
That's a girl trying to be a guy who looks like a girl.
>>9137806
lol
On the subject of apps used for selfie editing, I can't for the life of me figure out what Beautycam's "Satin" option is supposed to do. Pictures I take with and without that setting enabled look identical. Am I missing something here?
>>9137542
If you wear those black panties while rubbing one out I will buy them afterwards.
>>9137806
Thats weak anon.

your weevil cosplay makes me so happy. im following you just because of that. thank you.
>>9138269
Not you again. Can't you just keep your shit on r/kappa instead of shitting up cgl?
>>9131154
These all look the same. It's one thing to photoshop features of your face to look like a different person but these all look distinctly like her. Just looks like typical Asian eye enlargement and skin brightening which is totally innocuous so chill out.
>>9138330
Anon are you fucking blind? Top left looks like a completely different person from bottom right.
>>9138333
You are absolutely fucking retarded. It's obviously photoshop but if I were to see two different people in real life that looked like that, I'd assume they're twins and one has less jaw and is wearing falsies. Fuck off with your dumb vendetta.
>>9127646
You don't look even close to a guy. You look and dress like an edgy tumblr transtrender and will probably grow out of your 'guy' phase in a few years.
Seek help.
>>9137910
No, that's not the only time that it happens. I've seen it in lolita gen a few times and those threads are almost always mostly text replies.
>>9138269
Did you really enjoy the ironing board thread?
>>9137315
>scary
this is so overused as a way of saying "I don't like that you enjoy someone"
>>9138907
It's the same thing; those times people are just giving meaningless opinions on every single thing said in the thread. If you're actually contributing something to the discussion it's fine, putting them in different posts just gets called for samefagging.
Please like and coment on my new Lolita outfit! :D
>>9141627
would you knock it off with the vendetta
How do people keep up an aesthetic? I just post cosplay pictures with no filter. Most of them are nice quality from my photographers. Some people have nice synergy between photos and I am not sure how they keep it up or decide on that.
I look at all these nice themed inatagrams and sit here looking at the mess that is mine. I don't know how you all do it but I applaud you for making cute inatagrams. Just wish I could figure it out and get my shit together with it.
I'm thinking of getting another platform besides tumblr to post my coords. Is instagram worth of try?
>>9142094
Instagram is worth it, just beware the weirdos sending you DMs
>>9142051
there are tons of fashion tumblrs that operate on nothing but stolen, unaccredited photos. what are you talking about.
>>9141975
>>9142007
I had an older instagram where I kept up a theme/aesthetic. Sometimes if I really wanted to post a photo that didn't fit, I would keep it up for only a day or two then deleted it. I didn't use filters but tried to use photos that had mostly white or light backgrounds and put a little bit of meitu sparkles in the corner. It helps to not post a lot of selfies and ootds and post more things like drawings or items laid out on your bed.
A few months ago, I gave up and just use my IG as a gym log. It makes my IG look so ugly since almost everything is a video taken inside a gym. I'm thinking of only posting gym videos once a week/every two weeks now and doing a posting schedule like >>9130057 said.
>>9142118
Fashion tumblrs only repost instaho fashion though.
>>9114921
I use VSCO if I really need to white balance my photos.
>>9120772
Lor follows me on Snapchat but doesn't view my snap stories very often. Then again, I followed her back when she first made her Snapchat account, so I guess that's why she followed me back.
>>9142946
Not always but yea it's rare
bump!
does anyone know any cosplayers that do really detailed cosplays that post closeups of their details?
If you block someone in instagram does it stop them from seeing your stuff or does it only prevent them from commenting/liking? I just got an account and I'm trying to figure out what I can do about the dd/lg blogs that just follwed me.
>>9145619
It blocks them completely from viewing your profile. I also block any ddlg accounts that follow me, it does the trick.
How many followers do you gulls consider to be "too many" followers on Instagram before the vendettas start happening? Like at what point do people start disliking you just because of that number? I feel like cgl gets salty over people with no drama but they have a lot of followers. I'm just worried because I just recently hit 1k on my cosplay account and I don't want it to happen to me.
Anyone used a tool like Instagress or Archie for automated liking?
>>9147989
>25,000 followers and not a word here
If you're not a bitch, people won't hate you. Might get a vendetta here and there, but again, if you're not a bitch, people won't agree with them.
>>9148634
Yeah it helps not to be a bitch, but even the nicest of people get unnecessary hate. Especially if they're good looking or have lots of brand. Jealousy is a nasty emotion.
>>9147989
I notice that cgl tends to unnecessarily hate on Asian girls (majority on cgl are white, from the consensus survey thing a while back), deeming them as "overly shooped". If cgl perceives that you're "popular for no reason", they'll hate on you. It's just stuff that makes people jealous desu, or if you're just a raging bitch
>>9148634
What's your secret? I've been trying to market my account better but somehow I just can't compete with teenagers posting blurry photos of their bad cosplay makeup. Is it really just about quantity over quality and doing whatever is popular for as long as it's popular?
>>9148661
Honestly, I got lucky. Got mentioned a few times by someone with a shitton of followers, and got her attention by posting nice photos.
Just keep chugging along and doing that steady incline. The spikes'll happen eventually. The trick is not to give up.
>>9148647
Unnecessary hate dies down though. The only ones who are hated consistently are doing consistent facepalmy shit. Even /cgl/ hates obnoxious vendettas.
>>9148661
it really is about quantity over quality, but you can tell how quality a person's posts are by how many likes per photo they get. Around 10% if your followers is a good like ratio. But if you post selfies or pictures of yourself every day and tag accordingly (assuming you're at least somewhat cute), you'll get followers
>>9144474
I mean I have no idea how anyone isn't following them yet, but CowbuttCrunchies.
Lots of high quality detail work, lots of tutorials, lots of very nice photography.
>>9148669
I've got about a 6% engagement rate it looks like. It used to be closer to 8-9%, but I think Instagram's new feed algorithm really started limiting my exposure.
>>9148666
It's pretty discouraging right now. I like the positive feedback when I make something that other people enjoy, but it's starting to feel like a rat race. It makes me want to bandwagon something hyperpopular or cosplay something revealing just to be able to compete with accounts that post lower quality material but gain followers at twice the rate.
>>9148669
3-6% is considered a good engagement rate on Instagram
>>9148696
that's average, not good; if you use tags and only get 3-6%, that's pretty sad.
>>9148683
how much has instagrams new algorithm changed things? my engagement doesn't seem to have changed much because of it, but i might not have noticed since my follower count has been growing
>>9148750
I can't speak for anyone else, but since they stopped presenting images in chronological order I've noticed my posts get on average 200-300 fewer likes than before. My tagging style and content are still consistent so I'm not sure what else explains the dip in activity.
>>9148745
You can expect 2.3% at least on Instagram. 3% is average and if you're closer to 6% that's good. Higher than that is really good.
>>9147989
I keep mine on private. I only allow legit accounts and friends (that care about cosplay) to follow.
>>9149524
Instagram people, I was bored and started putting up cosplay photos (and tagging!) people and my instagram is exploding. How do you handle the sheer amount of activity (of all my social media my instagram has the most, twitter is second and my facebook is smallest)
>>9126700
I follow you, you're so cute!
Has anyone gotten an influx of normie accounts following them lately? I've gotten almost 100 in the past two weeks. I don't know if they're just fascinated or if they actually give a shit about cosplay.
>>9155786
Being underage is not kawaii
>>9155786
how old are you, 14?
>>9155829
Since when? Everyone craves youth.
>>9155840
since 4chan is 18+ you newfag
>>9155836
She's 15.
>>9155786
Enjoy your ban!
>>9155786
try again in 3 years
>>9147989
>How many followers do you gulls consider to be "too many" followers on Instagram before the vendettas start happening?
Any ammount beyond like 100 is "too many". I've seen girls with just above 100 get shit on and I've seen girls with thousands of followers get shit on. Just look up thread. That girl with the shoop face only has 170-ish followers and Zekia (robestpierre) has nearly 7k.
>>9148649
I don't think it has anything to do with race, but rather the shoop is what's causing the hate and a lot of Asian girls shoop. Overshooping and gaining followers for your fake face is pretty much being popular for no reason though. Like even Eikkibunny gets shit on for her fake shooped face and being popular because she gets tons of free costumes for taking selfies all day long.
>>9155856
most mods wont ban unless she says her age in a post here.
enjoy your new child tripfag.
>>9155786
Kek she deleted the photo. How long until she posts about how "4chan posted my picture and ~bullied~ me! I'm scared guys. I might get hacked! DX"
>>9155862
I think the extreme hate about shoop is mostly a /cgl/ thing though. It's obvious that both pineberry/zekia are recognizable in real life (i.e. they don't shoop enough to look completely different irl), and I've never seen them get hate for it outside of /cgl/. Eikkibunny is a different story imo, even though she's been pretty open about shooping, I don't think I'd recognize her irl.

the cutest
>>9155943
Man, the type of people who spam five of the same pictures in a row...
>>9155952
i'm not really a fan of that either, but it's a somewhat minor thing imo.
>>9155863
That's actually not true. I got a ban simply for quoting someone who said they were under aged.
>>9155909
I could probably recognize Zekia since it doesn't seem like she shoops much (just eye enlargening) but pineberry on the other hand looks different in each picture. In some her nose is super small, other her jaws smaller than other pics, sometimes her cheek are rounder etc. It makes me think that she doesn't really look like her pics.
>>9155943
Definitely shooped
can anyone actually answer the question as to why cgl hates shooping so much or is it just a bunch of stupid gulls who have the same opinion that need to post about it anytime there is so much of a pixel blurred in a photo?
>>9156174
Can't give you a concrete answer but I've heard it's "lying" to people. Like people who think that women who wear makeup are lying to men or whatever. Basically just very petty reasons.
>>9156174
Imo this is like asking why artists frown upon tracing. Because it's not authentic. To me there's a difference between standard retouching for makeup or wig flyaways or a blemish you couldn't conceal and wholly altering your features into a dorito chinned uguu mess with the physique of a concentration camp survivor.
>>9156174
I don't mind natural looking shoop, clearing up acne and all that, but if it gets to the point where you look like a cross between a moe animu girl and an alien it looks fairly uncanny valley. I'm not sure why people want to do that to themselves even in photos. It's their prerogative but I don't have to like it.
>>9156192
I don't feel like makeup is "lying" to people. However, over-shooping makes me uncomfortable because it's not even realistic. There are some people that consistently shoop themselves to have faces and bodies that are not really physically possible (and other races as well, which is even more uncomfortable to me) and it just makes me feel bad because it kind of shows an unhealthy view about how people should look and their own self image.
>>9156249
>>9156203
>>9156195
I agree with these, although I did see a girl who was able to shoop her photos into looking like really well done video game character (like final fantasy maybe?). I thought her selfies were amazing drawings at first , but I realized she was doing it with photos of objects too. She DIDN'T make herself look like a pore-less, bug-eyed alien, but she did do a lot of enhancement with lighting in her eyes and in the background. It was honestly pretty cool.
>>9148750
I'm not sure if IG's new algorithm has changed things for my follower engagement, because I happened to decrease my posting around the same time due to studies.
Now with my sporadic posting I'm at about 20% engagement rate. This used to be higher, around 35-40%, but I feel thats because I was posting regularly at the time and not fault of the algorithm. I'm suprised only ~6% is considered good, unless I'm calculating my % wrong? Or just because I have a small following. (600followers, 120 current like average)
On the other hand, I have really noticed it effecting my feed. It's frustrating when I refresh my feed only to see a post at the top that I had already seen hours previously.
>>9156249
I don't feel like makeup is lying either, but rather hiding what you normally look like.
>>9157631
It might be because you just have 600 followers. I have a terrible engagement rate, but I also have 24k+ followers (gained in 6~ months but I think a lot of them are inactive accounts or people's multiple accounts).
So does anyone have a good IG for street snaps? I mostly follow specific models or people but want a more general street jfash IG.
Thanks.

stop self-posting hilary.
literally no one has any reason to ever talk about you and even when you try to shoehorn pity posts about yourself, it's still not engaging enough to garner you proper white-knights. you're right, you suck, no one cares, figure your shit out.
