I'm fucking fuming because some random cowardly ass no-dick cocksucker gave my kid sister a wedgie at OMGcon. Then he disappeared into the crowd.

If anybody saw it, he was wearing dinosaur pee-jays and she was dressed as the blue haired man from draMAGICal Murder.

She's only 12 and she had her underwear almost ripped clean off. If anyone knows who I may be talking about, PLEASE comment. The piss-shit-and-cum-cocktail-guzzling con security did JACK SHIT.

>>9517566
Call the police. I'm pretty sure a grown man touching a 12 year olds underwear is something they should handle.

I've been a lone lolita for 4-ish years and I just recently got the courage to join the facebook group for the local comm. There's a meet coming up soon (on the 24th) and I'm really, really freaking out about it. I'm scared to death of going but I also don't want to be a lone lolita for the rest of forever. It's stressing me out way more than it should.

Security said they would find him and went hunting, but never heard back from them. I think he got a way.

He did more than grab, it broke a strap on her thong.

Sorry for the picture, it's all I have on my phone.

>>9517582
You'll be very happy if you go there and make a friend! I hope it works out. Just do your best to be social.

>>9517597
So... they DID help?

>>9517591
I think the first thing you need to do is stop making excuses. Understand that you have control over what you buy to eat and, if the only food being presented to you is overly fatty, you can control how much of it you eat. Don't turn into an obsessive calorie counter but do maybe ask to use a smaller plate and when buying food for yourself spend a little longer finding a healthier option.

>>9517597
Why was your 12 year old sister wearing a thong that was readily accessible to grab

>>9517638
Not that anon, but it's not super uncommon for girls to wear thongs at that age? It might seem young to us oldfags but I still remember hearing girls when I was that age that had just gotten their first thong. It's one of those "you're a woman now" things like a period is.

Also, shit happens. She could've leaned down to grab something and it have rode up. But based off what anon said originally, I'm guessing he grabbed both her pants and underwear and that caused it to rip when he pulled.

Had a friend who dated a guy that young when she was in her late 20s and it was a disaster. She was only with him so she could mooch a place to live off his parents.

We didn't know he was that young until he came to a friend's housewarming. Dude got completely blind-as-fuck plastered because he was 18 and thought that's what you do at parties. No one else paid attention to how much he was drinking, because none of us realised he was only 18, or that he was guzzling drinks as quickly as he could get his hands on them. Someone eventually clued in to the fact that he had alcohol poisoning when he disappeared for about an hour, because he had basically passed out in the spare toilet, covered in his own puke.

His girlfriend was off somewhere else having a catch-up and got mad that we didn't babysit his ass. We eventually did a rough count, based on what other people saw him drink, and estimated he downed a good 15-20 drinks in about three hours, before he ended up chain-puking in the bathroom.

They stayed together a few more years until she finished her masters. He proposed to her at one point, and she said yes (because otherwise she'd be homeless....). As soon as she got a new job, she dumped him, and found a new boyfriend. All in about the same week. It was kind of mind-blowing how fast it ended, but it was hardly surprising.

I have finally lost some weight. Let it be only 6 pounds/3 kg it feels good. I already fit a bit better in some dresses. It's not much but made me feel so much better and more motivated to loose the remaining 5kg to hit my goal weight. Hopefully I will then fit into some of my dresses with my arms.

>>9517842
>>9517905
At the same time, panels and guests are better. I remember travelling long distances to see guests at conventions in 2004, thinking that it'd be my only shot to see [band/actor/producer from Japan] ever. Now, overseas guests do circuits and hit tiny local cons whose biggest guests used to be local authors and shit.

>>9517905
Not only that, it was easier to make friends back in the day. Nowadays, everyone has their group and rarely socialise outside of it.
Last many times I've tried to make new friends, I've either only received facebook page information (to go and like it) or be told that they only give their contact info out to their nearest friends.

I just want to go back to the old days, no social media, noone striving to become famous, people actually caring about the source material of their cosplay, people/cosplayers/photographers actually being there because they love popculture, etc.
I never thought I'd say this but.. I actually miss obnoxious cosplay teens. My last straw back in the day was 5 teenage girls shrieking "YAOI" and nearly deafening me, but I miss that. I want that back. I don't care about partying, fucking or sitting around with the same people all weekend, I want to meet new people and be a stupid nerd with fellow fans again.

>>9517929
I'd get slapped with yaoi paddles and get glomped just to go back to those times.

>see ouran HS group
>one guy in the group (mori)

I'd take THAT again.

>>9517929
I miss the yaoi crowd too. They still exist but they're not quite the norm and suddenly you're either a moral ruler or you're disgusting trash because fiction = reality kek
I do AAs and I always get anxious people will throw a shitfit at the mxm ships I draw being teens from whatever show, because apparently some folk think you're a pedo for liking cartoons fucking if they're not 18 (the magical age where everyone turns into a mature adult after the midnight of their 18th bday, makes me think these people were never
teens at all, or didn't know many teens. Anywho). This shit feels like it went full circle because I remember in the late 90's/early 2000s everyone going into hysteria about hentai and thinking all anime was weird japanese porn. Then we had peace and lj groups and whatever wank happened, everyone kept to themselves or on fandom wank and encyclopedia dramatica or here. Now we have blue hell.

Tfw E3 this week and Anime Expo at the end of this month after i just move and spent a lot of my money on a quite fair bit of furniture.

I feel like I'm not going to make it to AX, but we will see. Not too bummed since I picked up my pass during the black Friday sale.

>>9517654
People wear thongs for non sexual reasons, like the fact that they are comfy and/or don't show lines. How sheltered are you? The first thong thing is pretty common, and is generally a joke by the mom. Better to curb it by having a parent joke about it/buy it than have them sneaking off to try and buy a thong by themselves to "act sexy".

As if my relationship with food wasn't already unhealthy. One of my main fears in life is getting fat which really impacts how I eat. I wouldn't say it's an eating disorder because I eat but not nearly as much as I should (usually only one decent meal a day, sometimes two on a good day). I've been working on a meal plan but now I just feel like I'm gross and shouldn't do anything but workout more.

I know a guy like that. He's always saying that the teenagers he dates are mature for their age, but they're really the opposite. It doesn't take long for them to wise up to what a loser he is and dump him. Women his age won't touch him with a ten foot pole. His best chance is to date someone who's as much of a loser as he is, but his standards are higher than they have any right to be.

I guess I have a hard time classifying it as that. I had a shitty diet for years and now I eat healthier but I still don't eat as much as I should (I don't get near enough calories in a day). I'm rarely very hungry so it's a matter of training myself to eat at certain times which is hard for me.

I used to live with someone who was obese and seeing the way they ate disgusted me so much that I never want to be that way. It's definitely something that I'm trying to work on but I worry so much about my body. It's stupid but those photos really ruined my day

My abusive ex proposed to his new girlfriend at the con I went to last weekend. Nobody knew about our relationship so it's not something I could talk openly about. Now all my friends are happy for them and I feel totally empty inside.

Boy, that was wild from start from finish. Oh my god.
I'm sorry for you anon, at least you got some money so it's not completely lost. But he gave you money to make up for it so it's not all lost. I hope it wasn't a dress you were emotionally attached to or something.

>>9518269
I'm so sorry, anon, that's awful! What dress was it? Maybe post it in the dream dress thread (or here) so people can help you find another one to replace it? I'll gladly help you look if you want.

And is it just my bad luck or is it normal on there to say you want to buy an item but completely ignore the seller after that? It literally happened for the 6th time today in the last two weeks.

Posted feel last thread about friend turned classmate holding my hand. I can't stop thinking about him but I know there's no future together. I've been trying to drown out my thoughts by throwing myself at my boyfriend, but it's not working.

>>9519145
I can't, we're kind of in it for the long haul...he doesn't mind that I wear it, but he's literally told me "I don't fucking care about lolita" when we got into an argument. I just wanted him to ask how an important tea party went...

>best fucking cosplay ever, so excite
>finally finish our costumes, looking cute as hell

I mean my character works alone too so Ill probably still wear it but its going to be sad and lonely as hell without her. Im desperately hoping she will get better in time for the con but its 2 days from now so the chances are kinda slim.
We even had a photoshoot scheduled together and everything. Obviously her health is more important than cosplay, but ive been looking forward to this for months so i feel really bummed.

>>9519094
Omg still analyzing over here. When we were hanging out, I made him an origami heart out of an old receipt paper. I threw it at him as a joke about leaving trash in his car and he put it on his dash. He also dropped me off last even though our mutual friend lives closer to him than I do.
>I just drew a picture of him and am going to hide it in his car on friday, is this wrong?

I started in 1999 and man do I miss it. I've gotten somewhat used to not hanging out anymore but I miss making new friends.
I also miss when everyone made their own stuff. Not for the obvious reason though...
I'm fairly talented at sewing, meaning my stuff looks properly finished and all that. As a result no one cares anymore. If it's too good looking (unless it's armor or something equally un-buyable) everyone assumes you bought it.

Clean looking knife pleats? Taobao
Proper bangs? Ebay
Topstiching? You had it commissioned

No one thinks you made it yourself anymore.

You'll either be able to fix it or you'll break up but getting this friend involved in any way is going to be trouble

This sound really unhealthy, anon. If you're daydreaming about other guys and he's picking fights about hating your hobbies, you know that'll probably lead to a break up eventually, right? If you want to stay together because you love him that's one thing, but if it's just because you're betting marriage will fix all your problems, you'll probably just end up losing money in a divorce.

>>9519098
>can't
This is a red flag to me. Usually one would say "my (SO) is great and I love them" not "I can't leave them." This coupled with everything else you've said seems to indicate you'd probably be better off ending the relationship. It's scary but you'll be happier in the long run.

I'm 170 and fit into half shirred AP with plenty of room. Had a baby and still fat, my doctor discouraged me from losing weight for a couple more weeks, which is really irritating. Being fat is so gross. But normally I'm 145-155 and have well defined abs and fit into unshirred old AATP (65 cm waist). That's probably the smallest big brand, obviously MM is small, too, but harder to get and I prefer prints anyway

Hopefully that is helpful if you're not trolling, I don't see how you could be fat at your weight unless you have a strange build, no muscle, or are really short (in which case you will have other fit issues like sleeves and should lose weight before buying burando)

>>9519572
Welp, I guess I should just die then. I'll never "fit in".

You'll fit in with like minded people, anon. Being "weird" doesn't mean you have to be socially inept. Disregard what your mom said to you, maybe she doesn't know you well and simply remembers your old weeby behaviors so she was trying to help you, even if in actuality it wasn't helpful.

I know she didn't mean any offense though.

Is there any other fellow aspies around here anyway?

True, take your advice kid. No matter how hard you try you'll always be a weeb and eventually you'll be some weebs waifu or youll marry a normie and have to hide it for the rest of your life. Weeb.

Yeah, but I never toned down and speak an unfortunate mix of six languages. Thankfully I work from home and write useless stuff, so no one has to listen to me speaking freakish mix of phrases. I also wear everything weeby at home, because I can.

I still have hard time fitting because muh autism and have never really talked to other female aspies, but I guess it wouldn't change anything. Though I had two long discussions about being aspie with a fellow aspie man last week and I think I understand myself better now.

Sometimes nothing makes sense. I'm always sort of waging war in my my mind and I don't want to drag anyone into it. I'm lonely and I don't want to be, but I don't want to burden, bother, or hurt other people.

>>9519807
I'm sorry, anon, that's a very unpleasant cycle to be in. Have you considered therapy? I'm serious, I think that talking to a professional about this might help you quite a bit.

>>9519812
I've thought about it, but I'd have to get myself in the right mindset. Like... I'd be terrified that I'd be wasting their time, especially if I can't fix myself right away. I know that's LITERALLY their job, they're supposed to help you but in the back of my mind that immense dread will be there thinking "they could be helping other patients right now, my problems aren't that bad anyway right, i'm just wasting their time".

I often have to stay stimulated to distract myself from these thoughts. But they're just distractions to what could ultimately be a bit of a problem.

>>9519817
Oh god, are you me? It's gotten better than before but I was at your level at some point. But consider therapy, really. Your problem IS bad. It's something that can grow worse and worse.

>>9518077
I really love the lolita fashion and even have a few dresses, but feel way too awkward in drag and feel like all of the real lolitas would judge me too much for being in guy in their frills.

>>9519822
Worse and worse... how so?

>>9519825
It's a process but you'll get used to it. Eventually you won't even notice the stares.

>>9519827
>in their frills
You own those dresses, they're yours. If you put an effort into your appearance and don't make it a sexual thing no one is going to judge you.

>>9519807
>>9519817
This is far too relatable.

I'm sure there are plenty of aspie seagulls, me included. I'm also worried about fitting in at my future workplace. I usually manage to get along with everyone and be friendly, but always remain kind of an outsider, even with my powerlevel repressed to almost nothing. I'm starting to suspect that other people can smell the autism on me.
My mom is fortunately very supportive but she also sometimes brings up weeb stuff from more than a decade ago. She recently told a family friend that I'm really into Naruto. I haven't watched/read Naruto since I was 13. I'm 25 now...

>>9519828
Nayrt but it's a vicious cycle. The more you avoid people because you think they won't like you or you're wasting their time, the less people will make any effort to talk to you, the more you'll feel justified in thinking nobody wants you around, etc. It gets progressively harder to dig yourself out of that pit by yourself and the longer you stay there, the deeper it will be.
I have the same problem and in my experience, I'm often misjudged as aloof, arrogant or even rude when in reality I'm freaking out over the idea that my presence is bothering other people. That obviously doesn't help.

>>9519837

As long as you style it like lolita and not a drag costume no one will care if you're a guy. Drag queens never seem to get j-fashion right.

I really REALLY don't want to stand next to their shitty cosplay in group photos (their character is a different variant from our orignal outfits so they would already stand out)
And I keep making suggestions but they shrug it off and say "its the best I can do" but they clearly don't care or want to put effort in making it looks better
I have no idea why our bro thought it would be a good idea to add this rando into our closed friend group, Jimmies are rustled and I can already tell they're going to cause problems at the con.

>>9520210
Talk to the rest of the group about booting them out, why put up with a pain in the ass if everyone seems to be on the same page?

I think I'm getting to boring for memes guys. A friend sent me one today and I didn't even crack a smile. No chuckle. No nothing. I can't tell whether or not they're just not funny anymore or if I have a stick up my ass.

In cgl news; I'm finally starting to get my room to look the way I want and be frilly and comfortable. Which I guess will be good since I won't have any friends left once they realize I don't find their memes funny anymore.

>>9520215

My comm just passed a "no vaping" rule, and this one bitch is so mad she hid an egg in the comm president's car. We don't know for sure it was her, but she's done shit like this before. I personally got my thong stolen by her in February.

>>9520279
But why pass that rule in the first place? I know a lot of people who vape aren't courteous enough to not do it around those who do not, but couldn't that just be implemented instead?

Life is hard and then you die, /cgl/.

>>9519234
This.

I don't think you need to date the friend (chances are, he's flirty with you because you're in a relationship and "safe" practice), either, but you're clearly not into your boyfriend if you're contemplating fooling around with this other guy.

>>9520334
Stop getting wasted at cons then, you dingus.

>>9520334
Don't get wasted/don't drink at all if you can't control yourself. I get the self loathing, trust me, but you will lose your friends if you treat them like caregivers. And I don't mean a taking advantage of them, I mean the fact that they do in fact care about you because you ARE a good person, but people have their limits and they can't drop everything and ruin their own good times to make sure you don't hurt yourself. If you really cared about your friends, you'd stop pulling that crap.

At least you know now, friends and businesses together are a no-no

>>9520356

Honestly that's my plan: no more booze at cons. Forgot to mention that I guess. This really ties back to pre existing self worth issue that I've never properly dealt with that are just being exacerbated by my actions. Mostly I'm just so mortified over what I did that I'm not sure how to face them and don't think they'll want to see me again.
Thank you for letting me vent, /cgl/ it's been a rough couple of days.

My comm proposed a no-dabbing rule but it never passed.

>>9520423
its perfectly normal for young adults to explore their sexuality.

>>9520455
Fuuuck. I think I've seen a grand total of two people dab in lolita, and one of them was someone's 13-year-old sister dressed up at a con.

You have my pity if it's popular enough to need a rule about it.

>>9519267
That's a great way to have zero (0) boyfriends very rapidly.

>>9520295
Nayrt but my comm has a no smoking in the middle of the group rule (aka common decency) but coincidentally all the smokers in my community are huge assholes who think that standing two meters upwind of everyone else is good enough, and throw a fit when someone asks them to move farther away because "I'm talking to my friends here! YOU move!" and I'm ashamed to say, most of the time I do. I honestly would love if my comm implemented a no smoking ever rule because the smokers would throw a tantrum and probably flounce, and nothing of value would be lost.

>>9520471
Nayrt but then you've clearly not seen my comm's group photos.

there can be hurt feelings

you can keep being friends, but be a grown adult and have cognitive control. It is normal to have feelings and sexual attraction to others-than-your-couple, but that is just nature
at the end, only real love and support remains

you could end up dumping a good bf, who actually cares about you, and ending up with a superfluous feeling.

or Just break up and asume the consequences.

I live in a small town - a few 'local' Lolitas have a little comm, but there's not many of us, and there's not much to do for meets around here except go for coffee or ice-cream, and it gets a bit same-y after a while. I started seeing posts up from the big city comm for my region, and it's like a 4hr drive, but in the end, last summer ILD I went all the way to the city for a big meet up. While I was there, I met this Goth/Gothic Lolita who seemed really cool. I'm the only Gothic Lolita and one of few Goths in my small comm, and most of the Goths here are edgelord dudes 10 years younger than me trying to troll the local Christians (which is most people around where I live.) :/ I was really excited to make friends with her, but then as I got to know her, it turned out she was this special snow-flake, drama-stirring "my life is so hard! UwU" type who liked having stupid arguments over the internet, acting morally superior to everyone (while being really horrible to a lot of people) and now we're definitely not friends any more. She's active in her comm (but not popular, apparently she nearly split her comm a couple years back) and has been telling the big city comm lies about me, so now I don't know if I'll be unwelcome if I go back there. There's one other comm that I know of in my state, and it's even further away, and driving's expensive.

It's not that I don't like the people in my own comm, it's more that we're just limited in options here of stuff to actually do, so I was hoping to once in a while go up to the bigger comm where there's decent museums, a reasonable size art gallery and other interesting stuff, and now I don't feel like I can go back.

>>9520904
I'm the only Gothic Lolita in my comm, no other Goths in my comm, I meant town - my writing was shit there, sorry.

>>9520904
You shouldn't let one girl ruin your opportunity in that city, even if she successfully turned the entire comm against you (unlikely), you should still be able to enjoy the art gallery and museums without them.

>tfw lesbian lolita
>gf likes me wearing lolita but puts 0 effort into her own appearance and wears jeans and loose T-shirts erryday
>I love her and think she's cute but I'm lowkey disappointed we'll never twin
>kind of wish she was more muscular and boyish because then at least the contrast would look cool
>feel bad for thinking it because she's a person and not a fashion accessory

On the plus side, I'm really happy to be with someone who isn't embarrassed to be out with me in lolita like my past partners were. I actually used to prefer to be single before just because otherwise I always felt like I was inconveniencing friends by wearing lolita around them but like I was ditching them if I went out alone.

>>9520904
If she's that bad I'm sure her fellow comm members are aware she's full of shit when she says whatever she says about you.

>>9520921
I think part of it is that I feel like I need an excuse to go there? Like... just driving 4hrs to go to the city seems like a waste of fuel money, but driving 4hrs to hang out with the Lolita comm there and go on a meet with them to the art gallery or whatever... not such a waste.

I'm dreading both seeing her in person and maybe making it worse for myself by worrying too much about what she might have said to other people. It's probably not realistic that she'll have turned the rest of the comm against me, but I just don't know how awkward it will be, and I don't know exactly what she's said to the others, or how many people believe her (I know another girl from the city who has told me that the one I fell out with is known for being argumentative, opinionated, rude and for deliberately stirring drama, so I'm sure people there know not to listen to her running her mouth)

>see well-dressed lolita looking slightly uncomfortable in public bathroom at the sink
>don't wear lolita/dressed in normie clothes
>tell her i like her coord
>her face lights up

>>9520945
The logic part of my brain says that's reasonable, and that whether or not she organises stuff there, she's done enough stuff to piss people off for them to know she's shit stirring...

The anxious part of my brain says that there's got to be at least some people who believe her and like her otherwise she would have been booted from the comm and wouldn't get to organise stuff, so what if they DO believe her?

My bf is cheating on meh with a non-loli.

I've gained a lot of weight recently due to stress and switching medications. I'm not a fatty-chan but I've gone from semi-skeletor to pretty chunky.

I tried on some of my clothes and got really sad because a lot of stuff that was really loose on me is now tight. I feel like I can't wear anything cute anymore because I'll look like a balloon.

I'm trying to make it better by exercising every day and curbing my sweet tooth/eating healthier. It's hard because I'm upset and all I wanna do is eat carbs and sweets but I know I'll feel worse if I do.

>>9521038
I think taking some friends would probably be the best idea. We can split the gas money! And maybe even stay the night, get more out of the day that way (otherwise 8hrs on the road for like... 3hrs of meet time is a bit much).

I know the ideas were probably a joke, but we straight up went to Dairy Queen for a meet once. It wasn't a proper one, like just a few of us meeting up, but I see other comms having afternoon tea in fancy hotels and going to Japanese gardens and stuff...

That sounds rough anon, I hope you're alright. I nearly got fired for chronic nausea/vomiting at a previous job and my superiors were trying to say I was faking it, even though I had literally thrown up in front of them before, so I think some people just won't be understanding no matter what. Maybe their superiors are nagging them about productivity and they're taking it out on you or something. Since then I've found a wonderful job with very understanding supervisors, though, so hopefully things'll get better for you too.
