/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I wish I could change my friend circle. The ones I love seeing are too far away for us to meet regularly and I work all the time, to make things worse. We'd hang around and talk about lolita, go out whenever, and have a ton of fun.

Meanwhile, the friends that are closer to me have been annoying the shit out of me because of their childish ways (passive aggressive to the max, flaky, and overall immature for their age). I don't feel like I can connect with them at all anymore, and it's shitty because I still like them to a degree, but I've begun to turn into a recluse. I just want more chill friends that I can go out in lolita / talk about whatever with that I can see more often.

Okay, I'm not going to argue with you since that seems like what you're fishing for but I will reiterate what I said:
Forcing your body to carry around excess weight (barring pregnancy because the female body IS made to handle that) is something the body just is not made for. Putting that strain on yourself is going to cause a world of health issues and in turn most likely shorten your life.

>Cousin who is a year younger than me. (20) >Extreme levels of weeb.
>She tries to convince people around her that she is Japanese (despite being whiter than wonder bread)
>The only Japanese she actually knows is "baka" "kawaii" and "sugoi"
>One day, because of mixed up scheduling on my aunt's part, I end up having to take her along with me to visit my bf (it was that or leave her in the house by herself...I don't trust her enough to do that)
>Bf is Japanese
>Pure dread at the thought of how cousin is going to react to this fact.
>As expected, she has a weeb breakdown.
>"Oh My God, Anon! You didn't tell me you were practically dating an anime character!"
>Proceeds to fawn all over my bf who is extremely uncomfortable.
>Even tries to speak (pseudo) Japanese to him
>The amount of times my bf and I had to redirect the conversation to something non-anime related was mind numbing
>Have to cut visit short because she's starting to get too handsy and I was scared she was going to full on molest him.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that there are actually people who cosplay characters that they know nothing about.
It bothers me how frequently I'll go up to a cosplayer and try to strike up a conversation based on what their cosplaying only to hear them say...
"Oh, I've never read/watched the series, I just thought the character was so kawaii! XD"
