Wouldn't put it past him with how quick everyone bought up those $5-10 shoes.

>mfw when did it just to make us love those shoes and be willing to pay $50+ to replace them when he finally restocks them

>tiny CardCaptor Sakura dust plug is bought
>reaches New York customs the 14th
>it's now the 22nd
>hasn't left customs

Another item I bought that hit the same customs on the 16th is now out for delivery so I'm really think they lost it. I just want my CCS merch..

>working on outfit for convention
>can't really justify spending more on accessories I wanted
>see friend I talked about outfit with posting
>friend is doing exact same themed outfit
>using exact same ideas I had told them about for mine
>friend posts daily updates on outfit progress
>feel really petty and low
>cave and spend money on accessories to out do them
>post pictures of outfit on social media
>get a lot of compliments
>friend asks me where I got accessories from
>nope so hard

On one hand, I feel like shit because I dropped $75 on stuff I didn't need out of petty jealousy that someone "dare to take muh ideas" but on the other hand, if I hadn't felt that way then I wouldn't have ended up making such a nice outfit. Even though now I'm really wary about who I tell my cosplay plans to because now I'm afraid that I'll have more "Oh, you're cosplaying that person? I love that, I'm gonna do that too!" problems in the future.
