/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

i told her she looked cute in lolita but seeing those socks stretch out on her legs was painful

My machine can't handle thick fabric, so I just glue it

I purposely messed up her sizing because she said she decided not to be a lesbian anymore.

She thinks she just gained weight.

I kissed my friend on the cheek in our couple cosplay which was written off as being a cute in character thing, but meant it as a real kiss on the cheek.

I hate fat people and believe no fat girl can ever look good in lolita or anything else for that matter.

I purposely ruined his costume after he dumped the fabric in my room and told me to make it look good.

I have thousands of dollars worth of brand lolita jsks and OPs that I am too fat to wear. Including 5 different Twinkle Mermaids, Rose Toilette, Yumimeru Macaron, Puppet Circus (in that dusty rose color no on likes), AP's old Cinderella Print, BTSSB's Mother goose and many more.

I dont even attempt to try them on... I just hoard them.

I used to have them all lined up in my closet by color and I would go and lightly touch at the fabric at night before sleeping, or after coming back from the gym. The original goal was to eventually fit into all of them, but since I had to put them in storage after moving into a new place with less space.. I gained all the weight back.

Whoever started saying that lolita has "loose rules" needs to be fucking shot. Lolita has rules. Nothing loose about them. It's a fashion about being weird and unsexy and in your face, and if you want to water that down just do otome instead.

>>6699764
amen. A-fucking-men.

>>6699748
I'm becoming this way, too. But only fat people who are either "proud" of being fat or people who constantly talk about how they hate they are fat but never do anything about it. Shit like Lane Bryant's "Real Women Dollars" campaign where fat people would get vouchers for money off pisses me off to no end. I'm a real woman, too, damnit. Or people who point to the fertility idol as an "example of how fat women used to be worshiped". Bitch, that idol is supposed to be pregnant with like, all of the babies. Nobody thought it was supposed to be beautiful.

I once wore sneakers with lolita when I was 15 thinking I was cool.
I was definitely not.
I shudder remembering that omg.

>>6699775
The 'Real women have curves' crowd pisses me off most, fat rolls are not curves ffs. And their pseudo science bollocks, just, ugh.

I stole her skirt. She was a spoilt bitch and stabbed me in the back repeatedly, so I took that skirt when I had finally had enough and left. So far as I know, she never even noticed.

>>6699748

Same.

And this is awkward because I work at a huge Forever 21, and it has both a men's and plus size section right next to each other. It's nice because both guys and plus girls are severely underrepresented in my mall despite it being pretty big and high-end.

But as much as I like helping the bigger girls, and as much as I like getting customer compliments from them saying how helpful I am, I always think in the back of my head, "You know, you would have so much more and better options for yourself if you just lost the weight."

I hope this doesn't make me a bad person, because I want them to look nice. But they would look SOOOO much nicer if they just lost the damn weight.

I save terrible (in my opinion) cosplays for characters I plan to do just to show me what to not do.

I once had a fat girl ask to take a picture with me at a con, and I just pretended I didn't hear her and walked off. I don't want my picture taken with fat people. I think they're terrible looking (and often terrible smelling) and I'm not sorry. If you can't take care of yourself, I really don't want to associate with you.

>>6699748
>>6699775
>>6699781
>>6699780
I love you guys. The thing I hate most is that fat people think they can comment on my diet, body, clothes, lifestyle in a negative sense and that I should just take it because I'm the 'ideal' woman and 'thin isn't an insult' while at the same time I'm nothing but a stick or not a 'real woman'. On top of that they rant and rave if you make even a tiny suggestion to them because you're 'shaming' them.

>>6699775
>>6699781

Yeah. I also hate how people accuse skinny models of being representative of beauty.

No bitch, they're not. They are meant to be natural canvases for the clothes. Hell, plenty of them aren't even attractive facially because that's not the point. If some woman walking down the runway had amazing tits, you wouldn't be paying attention to her clothes, now would you?

Same thing with the whole plus size models thing. People don't actually care about the clothes. They just want to circlejerk over how "brave" these women are for being chubby on a runway.

>>6699784
It pisses me off to no end that they can insult normal sized people and think it's okay but if someone insults them it's the biggest deal in the world

>>6699780
I hate when fatties complain about clothes never being in their size because they can work and change that, I happen to be tall which is something I can't change to get clothes to fit me

>>6699781
I helped a couple of friends with their booth once at a convention (married couple, sells Bodyline and TaoBao lolita goods at cons). They had just come back from honeymooning Japan and while they were there, they'd bought a bunch of things at various brand shops to sell at the booth. A girl showed up to browse and went straight for an AatP dress which is pretty notoriously small (one of their corseted JSKs). She, on the other hand, was massive.

I'm about a US6-8, my friend is about an US4-6 and this woman was at least a US16-18. She started complaining that there are "no good Japanese designs for anyone other than anorexic size zeros". We were both in IW and Baby from our own personal collections. We both looked at each other and were completely at a loss for words. She actually thought that we were both "too skinny", based on her bitching and she had absolutely no compunctions about making that evident. She also didn't end up buying anything, even after we showed her several pieces from TaoBao shops that would have fit her (albeit badly).

I'm a lolita interested in ageplay and planning to have sex in my brand.

>>6699759
And adding a picture, because why the hell not.
If you are wondering why the pink OP on the right looks different it's because it was the one made for the advertisement.

>>6699794
I'm the anon who posted >>6699775

Totally agree. No one should be holding fashion models as "standards of beauty". It seems like only fat people do that, too. Everyone else seems to come to the totally logical conclusion that clothing shows off better on thin people who all look basically the same.

I hate the idea of "plus sized models" for that exact reason. It's great if you need someone to fill out your silhouettes, but nobody is "brave" or "strong" for wearing clothing and having pictures taken of them. I remember this one season of America's Next Top Model where they had the "different" girls and one of them was plus-sized. She eventually got kicked off because she was losing weight and "losing what made her special". Wat.

>>6699812
I hate you ;_;

>>6699812
either lose the weight, or sell. because I want to fucking punch you.

He's fat and fat-faced and his attempts at being a greaser are never going to work out

He wants to lose weight but he relentlessly talks about food and posts about the food intakes of athletes but he isn't an athlete and needs no where near that caloric intake and none of my passive-aggressive bullshit is getting through his stupid thick skull AAAAGJASKLJADFJLADFDF

>>6699781
I'm not skinny, and I'm not fat, but I definitely have curves (from being a pear shape, with pretty large tits). I'm not going to lie, I get a kick out of knowing that they can't tell me I'm not a real woman, nor can they tell me to go eat a cheeseburger.

>>6699819
I can't stand ANTM when they try to do that "different things!" stuff.
Like that one season dedicated to short girls (ie. 5'6" and smaller).
Pretty much all of the girls were 5'3"-5'6".
Woman don't you dare go on about not finding pants that fit. You're average.

Sage for a tangent.

>>6699831
>tfw you have to shorten all your pants because you're only 5'0"

>>6699820
Why hate me? I worked a full time job and collected them over 6 years.

>>6699825
I am never selling... the weight loss thing is a work in progress. I gained all the weight back after a really messy divorce. Go ahead and punch me though.

>>6699806

I'm a lolita who likes to wear diapers under my dresses and cosplays. It's both sexually gratifying and it's just very convenient.

>>6699831
I'm 5'4, and I have to roll all my cuffs.

I have finished farming.

I secretly hope for my ex-friend to get posted on /cgl/ because I can't stand her and I want to see people tear into her cosplay or for her being such a bitch online.

I'm too much of a wuss to actually post her myself because my vendetta would obviously show.

I think trans people are sick, mentally and should go for psychological help, rather then....physical, I guess you'd say. Also, whether it is your preference or not, its my prerogative to call you by whatever gender I want, especially if you just look like a fucking dude in a dress

>>6699865
>implying transgenders don't have mandatory therapist sessions before they can have a sex change

Also you're a douchebag. I think it's stupid when some chick with her boobs hanging out of a tubetop tells me "Call me he/him!" but if someone's actually trying to present themselves as the gender they want to be, don't be a cunt just to spite them. That's like me calling you a cow and ignoring you when you try to explain you're a human and dressed like a human and saying "Well I can call you by whatever species I want and I'm calling you a cow."

I hate how everyone keeps praising that freaking Muses cosplay from Hercules, just because the girls are all black.

I really dislike this one person because she gets popular on all the crappy closet cosplays she makes, but she can't even pull off a good male make up. She just takes good pictures with her girlfriend making out, that's why she's fucking popular, I pretend I'm her friend only because I don't wanna deal with the pile of whiteknights of hers.

I cursed everything for having a crush on a guy who had a girlfriend, now he recently broke up with her, and I don't want him anymore.

Wow, I'm a bitch

I'm fucking my coworker. Significant other doesn't know.

>>6699878
Butting in-- but that simile you gave is actually the opposite.

Trans is like someone demanding they're a cow. >>6699865 is saying, "Well, you look human, so I'm calling you human anyway."

>>6699830
>pear shape
>with large tits
You seem utterly confused about how body shapes work.
And probably fat.

can we keep it /cgl/ relevant here

I used to run a social justice blog yet I really fucking hate mexicans.
I just haven't met one that was nice to me.
every mexican I ever met bullied me.
one kid even bit me out of the blue
I want something to come slap me and change my mind,
but for now,
I really fucking hate mexicans

>>6699759
>>6699812
you're cute. i hope you eventually fit into your dresses because you seem to have a pretty god-tier closet and it'd be a waste to never wear anything.

>>6699893
No, you've got it the opposite. My example was for someone who's actually trying to present themselves as the opposite gender. If there's someone that looks masculine and they're wearing a dress and put effort into looking female, don't be a douche and go "Well I'm going to call you him/he because I can and I know it'll upset you because I don't agree with your life choices."

If it's someone like JasonTerror who's not doing shit to present themselves as the opposite gender, you'll still be an ass but other people will probably agree with you.

>>6699896
Then why did you run a SJ blog? Those things seem fucking horrible to run, they basically revolve around getting offended. What's the point in blogging about how angry you are unless you actually believe it all?

>>6699910
Hm, I guess.

Then I agree.

>>6699898
Yeah, yeah, sorry.

>>6699905
Thanks :)
Originally, I was going to let girls in my local comm borrow my dresses until I could fit into them myself... but I kind of got the cold shoulder the few times I showed up in a fully shirred jsk so I never brought it up.

I don't want them to hate my because of what I own, but I dont want them to want me around because of it either.

>>6699896
I used to hate mexicans because I lived in Northern Virginia. Ever been to Manassas? My aunt calls it mini-mexico
Now I live in Hampton and I fucking can't stand the niggers. I don't mean just black people. The straight up niggers living on welfare who don't have a GED.
At least Mexicans worked. But these fucking niggers man. They have all these excuses as to why they can't do shit. Like because of the white man keeping them down. No, it's not the white devils, it's because you dropped out of school at 13 to have your crack dealer's baby.

We have this goth group in town that has decided that lolita is the newest best thing...

I joined their comm in secret to laugh at the ita and then sell them stuff covered in the cheapest posible lace. i should feel guilty but after watching them talk about how the real comm is full of elitists (pro tip: real comm is awesome) i really don't regret anything.

>>6699878
I know trans have manditory therapy, my point was it should be treated entirely with therapy, and they should be taught how to be comfortable in their own body. And your simile is all backward, its more like me trying to pass as a cow and you saying 'well you look human, so I'm gonna call you human' simple as, really.

>>6699964
>>6699964
>>6699964
I agree with this so much. It's the same as the people who believe they should be amputees, you don't treat that by cutting their legs off. Transexuality is a disease and enabling people to think that their minds' perception means enough to warrant altering their bodies is really scary to me, especially since a good number of them never change their perception(which can cause bad depression waaay after surgery)

>>6699964
>they should be taught how to be comfortable in their own body
That's really flawed logic. No one is entirely comfortable with their body and they do everything from dyeing their hair to getting plastic surgery. Why is it socially acceptable for people to get 50% of their face changed, increase their breast size by 4 cups and have their penis surgically lengthened but someone can't medically alter their reproductive organs to the other gender's without being labeled as someone who has a mental disease and should be 'fixed' with therapy?

>>6700006
> enabling people to think that their minds' perception means enough to warrant altering their bodies is really scary to me
What is cosmetic surgery?

>>Living in another city 'cause school
>>Friend is from wealthy family.
>>Doesn't have to pay shit for her housing/meals/expenses, daddy pays everything (her parents are divorced, I guess that's why he spoils her?)
>>Buys brand brand brand and even buys stuff she doesn't like, but hey, money is to throw in the air right!
>> I work 2 jobs to kind of afford what she has, and I still have to pay rent, bills, food, etc.
>>All of my jelly

I wish I had been born in a wealthy family :[

And it's a confession because she is a really nice girl to be around.

I personally think cosmetic surgery should be banned as well. As far as thing like hair dying, it's impermanent. I feel like we if we keep these kinds of things why not allow people who are suicidal to kill themselves, why try to make them specifically taught to be comfortable in their own body? What about anorexic or bulemic people? It's not physically hurting other people, what's the problem?

>>6700070
Because there have been studies found showing that trans people's brains actually match the gender they identify with in chemistry/activity. Teaching them to think differently won't change their basic neurology.

I find it funny whenever girls on behind the bows are disgusted at people who like 2D lolicon/shotacon. I am a proud lolita and proud lover of the 2D little boys. Shota isn't even the worst porn I masturbate to though, it's actually kind of vanilla to me. I am sure if any of the lolitas I know ever looked at my internet history and certain folders they will probably be completely disgusted. It's all 2D but what I understand is that a lot of people can't separate the idea of 2D porn being completely different to 3D in terms of how it arouses me. Real life kids are gross.

Wearing lolita doesn't come from any kind of fetish for me but I do sometimes judge ita dresses in trap porn.

>>6700070
>why not allow people who are suicidal to kill themselves
Last time I checked, suicidal people often do kill themselves. No one allows them, they do it themselves.

>What about anorexic or bulemic people?
Once again, much like suicidal people or alcoholics, it's their body and you can't force them to get help. My older brother smokes and he's had health issues and has been hospitalized for smoking related health issues. I don't agree with him putting his health at risk but he doesn't want to quit and I can't force him against his will to quit because it's legal to smoke.

There is this girl in my class I would pay money for letting me dress her up. She's just too cute and fits lolita perfectly.

>>6700099
>it's their body and you can't force them to get help
Actually if they're minors...

>>6700099
actually if someone is psychiatrically 'a danger to themselves' you can get them locked up against their will

sage because this is two levels of off topic now

>>6700098
ARE YOU ME

Just... everything in that post, exactly, yes

Also more generally when lolitas hate on weeaboos/otaku at me, I just want to roll on my daki and laugh 5ever.

>>6699894
>30DD, 35 inch bust
>28 inch waist
>38 inch hips
Okay, keep telling me how my body works.

>>6700120
I have a daki too. I'm going to Japan this year and to most of my lolita friends they all think it's gonna be an all out lolita affair but really I am going for the butler cafes and second hand doujinshi shops and the nitro+ cafe.

>>6700112
But if they're not then you're shit out of luck.

I have a homemade sex doll

>>6699896

I feel the same way but with Brazilians.

But as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I work in a mall. Ask any of the employees at the Hollister, A&F, H&M, or Express, and they'll tell you all the same kinds of horror stories you typically hear about online games. Every time they walk into our stores, what could have been a nice and pleasant day at work suddenly turns into a game of Space Invaders.

This is equally frustrating because my cousins are Brazilian.

>>6700125
...that's more hourglass.

pear shapes, like my self have very small busts.

34, 28, 40.

The difference in your bust and hip measurements isn't large enough. Also a 30DD doesn't have a 35in bust, that is the underbreast measurement, your morelikely to have a 40inch bust.

My noob loli friend was gonna thrown down $1000 she saved up for Puppet Circus, I persuaded her to her to buy $1000 worth of milanoo instead saying she'll com3 out with more dresses. She took me up on my "advice". I only did it cause she knew that was my dream dress. No regrets.

>>6700142
>shit out of luck
>implying it's my problem
Nope and I am certain I will lose no sleep over it. I was just pointing out it is entirely possible to force people into rehab institutions if they're minors or prove to be a danger to themselves. Different anon btw.

>>6700148

Wow, fucking evil indeed

>>6700125
Different anon here but I think you're actually still in hourglass realm, even with a three inch difference in hips. Which is still nice and shapely, just not a pear shape?

Dropping in to say that Gender Identity Disorder (now Gender Dysphoria) is still recognized in the DSM V, but they're changing the name because stigma (see also: Aspergers/Autism Spectrum Disorder).
It's much more common in men (1 in 30,000 seek reassignment surgery) than women (only 1 in 100,000). I also believe that it's more common in areas with stricter gender roles but I could be wrong on that one.
Like most psych disorders, there's no one "cause" behind it and it's possible that it could be a variety of things.

saging for being an annoying off-topic dork.
Here, have a picture of a beautiful transman.

My confession: I almost never finish the inside of anything, probably because I'm really really bad at procrastinating. But my hems, seams, etc are almost never finished and rarely lined. The insides of my costumes are a complete mess. Awful.

>>6700155
sorry I mean here a picture of my homemade sex doll

>>6700148
I probably would have done the same, especially since she's fairly new I assume. But to talk someone into to buying Milanno over AP is just bat-shit crazy. Your friend in indeed an idiot.

>>6700049
Then does all of the talk about hating fatties actually belong on /fit/?
We have brolitas and transgenders that wear lolita or cosplay and it's a fact. It's not irrelevant to talk about it just because you don't like to hear those opinions.

>>6700149
>>6700153
This. Your fake measurements are hourglass, not pear.

>>6700148
Well at least you'd admit you're a jealous piece of shit that would steer your friend to blow a grand on junk items.
She sounds like an enemy though, not a friend.

>>6700148
What a devious fucked up bitch you are.

>>6700148
Wait?....what? This sounds like a obvious troll confession. No way can you persuade even a new lolita, to buy milanoo over brand. No one is THAT stupid and gullible!

i troll people at cons becuase i don't want them to take advantage of my kindess or the sweet caring side of me.

>>6700137
>tfw no rori shotacon friend to go to akihabara with

Why not direct her to taobao? She could have got a whole closet of nicer things for someone starting out.

I can understand wanting to talk someone out of something you want too... but making a friend get complete junk? Why?

I like to post the drama and bad coords from my community just to knock some of those girls down a peg. I'm actually more interested in exposing them for being immature, attention whoring, spoiled, SJW twats than I am improving their fashion choices.

Kind of a secret because really if I didn't post then a lot of their bullshit would just go ignored since they all circlejerk each other. I feel like a mole.

>>6700148

>>6700159
You weren't discussing brolitas or trans people cosplaying you were just discussing transgenderism. You're right, I don't like to hear those opinions because they're not board relevant and they derail an otherwise good thread.

Save up money and go during late May and early June and maybe you will see me crying on the floor drowning in BL and shota in all AATP.

I'm really fucking frustrated, I have been looking for a job for a while and I can't find anything.
I've been getting so desperate to get money for lolita and cosplay that I have considered stripping, being a sugar baby or just plain whoring my self out for it.
I'm ashamed of those thoughts but glad that I'll more likely never go through with any of them.

>>6700213
There's a difference between simply posting a secret and it spiraling off into its own conversation.

>>6700218
I know an actual ex-escort in my comm. Not worth it. she was drugged and raped. Since then she stopped. No brand was worth it after that. I feel kinda bad for her, but onemust pay the some sort of price for such things.

>>6700176
Yes you can. Even some stupid lolitas who are older buy milanoo over brand.

>>6700222
But if she was really your friend, wouldn't you not want to burn that bridge irreperably once she opens the box and it's three lumps of satin and raschel lace?

>>6700218
I also have had a hard time getting a job. Good luck to you anon.

And if you do decide to do one of your three choices... please be safe. Stripping honestly sounds like the safest of those three, least likely to catch a disease, stripclubs usually have pretty good security and rules as well. You also can't get arrested for it vs whoring.

I always enjoy myself more when I'm cosplaying as someone popular than when I'm dressed as a character I genuinely like. Most of the series I watch are kind of obscure, so I don't get many photos taken. Now and then I cosplay as something popular and watch just enough of it to know how to be in-character so that more people talk to me about my costume.
I hate people who don't understand how to use shapewear. Like fat people who squeeze themselves into those spandex leotards and everything gets lumpy from being squished together, or people who wear corsets upside-down. Or small-chested girls who try to fill bras with cups three sizes larger and end up with torpedo boobs because they don't know what they're doing.
Also, I judge people who recommend broadcloth for entire garments. They need to fuck right off. I've seen people on here recommending broadcloth for everything from seifukus to ballgowns. I can spot that cheap shit a mile away and it's never as good as using the right fabric for a costume. Unless you're quilting or patterning with leftovers, don't use broadcloth. There's a million kinds of woven fabrics that suck less. And when you wear it, you look like an idiot.

I have this friend I met at summer camp years ago. We used to be really REALLY close, but I haven't seen her since Otakon 2011. We've grown apart since then and our lives have gone in different directions. Last year she sent me a fb message when I was busy working on something. Naturally, I was unable to reply right away, and when I didn't she sent me something really passive aggressive about not wanting to "bother " me. So, I turned off chat for her on fb because I just don't want to deal with her. I don't feel bad about it.

I have a crush on frankie

>>6700226
>Stripping the safest out of the three

Being a sugar baby is the safest but not the easiest. Planning to do that, but I live with my folks might have to wait til I move out. I'm in the same place as op. My friends are getting jobs or come from better off families. Only one who has regular money troubles. I like get no money, the few bucks I do, get my mom and sister beg for and call me selfish when I say no. All I have to my name is a hundred dollars right now.
I trying to convince my dad to help me invest my money in mutual funds or turn it into something. I hate being poor, don't listen to ppl when they say the military gives you alot of money. I wish my dad did. He could have been a multi million dollor football player. My mom could have been a basketball player, but shewas knocked up with me.
>poor fag

I dislike a popular cosplayer for no legitimate reason. I want to make the same costumes she does but do a better job.

>>6700241
Why would that message have bothered you if you were legitimately busy? It's a one-liner explanation you could have easily sent. Sounds to me that you just needed a reason to validate ignoring her, since it obviously doesn't bother you and you have no interest to speak with her again. I feel sorry for the girl.

>>6700106
Aw shit, that feel man.
Except mine's for cosplay, but same thing.

>>6700241
>>6700252
summer camp friendships are not normally meant to be lifelong friendships. it's okay to drift apart from people.

>>6700250
I am really in the same boat. I dont ever have more than $40 in my name at a time.

But being a sugar baby might not be as safe as you think it is. Most places where you can go to try and find a sugar daddy are sketchy... and Im not sure about you, but not being allowed to be touched at all or have to be in close quarters with just one person sounds safer to me. Or if you live in a state where cannabis is legal- become a budtender for a legal shop. If you are cute enough to strip you would easily get a job being a delivery girl or in a dispensary. The pay is good and so are the tips.

>>6700256
>it's okay to drift apart from people
Okay but it's pretty rude not to respond to the girl. It's not hard to be polite even if you're not super close.

I dont know who frankie is so I thought of Francis.

You made my night.

I am not particularly intelligent, but I can be clever. Unfortunately, the only way I tend to use any cleverness I display is to manipulate, lie, cheat, or otherwise hustle people. I can and have talked my way out of being arrested a couple times, and other various similar shit.

I feel bad about it, I really do. Sometimes. Mostly I feel bad about it while I'm doing it, and then never think about it again. Shit kind of sucks, but at the same time I'm not going to stop doing it anytime soon since changing any situation to your favor is too big a thing to lose.

tl;dr I am an underhanded fast-talking fuck.

>>6700252
I did explain. I actually just went and looked up our last exchange. It took me six minutes to respond to what she said, and then she said "That's good, sorry I bothered you," at which point I explained that no, she wasn't bothering me, I was just distracted filling out applications.
What DID bother me was that I wasn't ignoring her in the first place, and if she had only sent the first message, I would gladly have struck up a conversation when I was less busy.

>>6700261
Hey butt trumpet, read this.
>>6700267

>>6700260
wow rude

I had a few acquaintances that I had made from previous conventions added on my facebook. One day they were looking for an extra person to split the hotel and travel costs for a major convention, and all I had to do was agree to pay a certain amount and the condition that I would be a character for their cosplay group.

So I agreed but it just feels like they don't include me a lot in their conversations. And it makes me feel bad because I'm doing a character from a series that I'm really not interested in. I'm putting in a lot of money and effort into mine, and when I check on their cosplay "progress" photos they look like shit and they're recycled from previous years. One hasn't even begun hers yet and the con is in a matter of a couple months. A part of my conscience tells me not to go through with this because I'll be excluded when the time comes for the convention, but another part of me says to go through with it anyway because it's a major convention I've never been to before. And even if they don't wind up hanging out with me I suppose I could try to entertain myself.
It just feels awkward, and I'm a little jealous of their friendship with each other.

>>6700267
Sorry, you just didn't say that in your original post.

>>6700273
>butt trumpet
What's it like being 16?

>>6700258
oh I have done my research into sugaring, and just feel safer with it. I know my limits what I will do and what I won't. I only go to legit sugarbaby sites and have spoken/speak to former or current sugar babies.
I might fake an illness too as well, heard of one girl doing that. >sounded like a straight bitch
But really what are they gonna do with all that money anyways.
I thought about stripping and I have been calked cute/pretty been hit on by complete and mostly older strangers but I have shit esteem from a lifetime of bullying. And plus I feeling like I let my parents down, I was the smart one, the college bound one. But I don't have the motivation to go to college. I mean really I'm that fucking scared I don't go outside the military base we live on.

I'm working on it by myself since no one in my family is a fucking help. But money issues are keeping me back for everything including college.

>>6700281
What's it like not having seen A Very Potter Musical, you philistine?

>>6700267
Honestly, I'd have done the same thing if I were you. You can't just not talk to someone for months and then suddenly demand their attention at the drop of a hat. You two hadn't talked in a while, so she had no way of knowing what was going on with you while you were not responding, you could've been anywhere, doing anything.

I've long since decided to weed those types of people out of my life, and I don't regret it one bit. If that means any of you would consider me rude for it, then so be it.

>>6700284
>A Very Potter Musical
I rest my case.

I fucking hate my skin color(tan) and I'd give anything to be pale because I think pale girls look 10x better in most cosplays and lolita.

People think I am 6-7 years younger then my actual age, and I just go along with it. I know there is the chance that I will hit the wall at some point, but until then, I am going to enjoy this as much as possible.

I only come here to look at big-breasted cosplayers in revealing outfits.

I don't cosplay, and I don't care about cosplay, I just want to see titties.

>>6700307
/s/ or /gif/ might suit you better..?

>>6700318

There's nothing special about titties being shown wilfully.

I'd take regular girl tits over porn tits any day.

>>6700323
There's a lot of that on /s/, but alright.

>>6700323
Dude, just scroll the first page of /s/

I secretly put MSG in my roommates' food as often as I can and have witnessed them gain 20 lbs over the course of three months.

I outed an ageplayer(who happened to be my bestfriend at the time, so she told me this in confidence) in my local comm. Needless to say she got booted.

>>6700366
No shame there. Did you let yourself be known that it was you?

>>6700368
No, I found her ageplay/ADBL tumblr, and made a fake FB account and posted it on the group. She thought it was some random person. Keep in mind she told 2 other girls.

>>6700370
She posted pictures of herself like that?

>>6700374
Yes, in her diaper and and everything.

>>6700375
What did she do to make you put her out?

>>6700377
She started talking about me. Other girls kept showing me texts she sent saying I was a "brand-whore" and other menial bullshit. So instead, I outed her. I didn't have a problem with her being an ageplayer. but being phony is not cool. hurt me, I hurt you.

I used to get drunk, party hard, and chase skirts at cons. I believed myself to be a pimp and a gangster when I really wasn't bout that life. I wasn't above using intimidation and threats of violence and death to get my way. I had some serious boundary issues and am no stranger to the "creeper" brand. Worst of all, I couldn't do anything more than closet cosplays, I had no other real skills nor talents, I was horribly unfunny, and I really brought nothing to the table when it came to the con scene. I am really just another stereotypical fat otaku nerd who thought he was anything better than he really was.

I just want a fuck buddy with similar interests.

>>6700379
Wow; okay yeah. The bitch started it...

>>6700379
I know this is quite stupid of me to ask, but still friends with her?

>>6700381
How long ago did you change and what was the catalyst?

>>6700384
Not really, I don't talk to her anymore. It's quite funny to see her bitch about how the Lolita community is discriminative towards others and their lifestyles. How unfair my comm is. What bitches we are. Blah blah blah. last I heard, she was gonna start her own comm up.

>>6700388

It was a change that took over ten years, many humiliations (some more severe than most), a long exile, a few medical adjustments, and lots of introspection.

>>6700392
LOL! ageplay comm perhaps?

>>6700380
Same here, anon

Most of my gal friends are fat. Like not even chubby, just fat. I'm chubby, but nowhere near as bad as them. They're always talking about losing weight and we all go to the gym together. But then they had a pie potlock on Pi Day and I had to make some bullshit excuse for why I couldn't come. I'm actually making progress in losing weight and you're all seriously going to stuff your faces with pie?

>>6699835

fat people that blame their weight on everything but their own actions & choices.

>>6700401

Asl?!?!?!?

I put alot more effort into crossplaying to get more attention than actual females just to watch them jelly. Also, it is almost orgasmically delicious when a guy who has been checking you out realizes you are male and his boner wilts.

>>6700426
I never put the blame on anything. I was emotional and stopped caring about my weight, among other things and got lazy.

I did however, say it was a work in progress-which means that I have been back at it and going to the gym again.

I FUCKING H.A.T.E Chinese cosplayers, doesn't matter if American, or actually chinese. They look like uglier Japanese cosplayers, end up looking like one of their many shody knock-offs

>>6700454
You sound crazy...and racist, don't forget racist.

>>6699865
>especially if you just look like a fucking dude in a dress

I think I feel the same way. When you are trying to be the opposite gender there is a babby's first time in a dress and you help them out. It's tough knowing what to do when you haven't been raised knowing things you would have found out if you were born the way you feel you should be.

But when I see a dude in a too short dress, unshaven monster legs, bright red lipstick outside the lipline and a wig askew I don't even think they are trying to be called she and so I don't.

I know a girl who feels she is a guy and he really really tries for it. All her clothing, haircut, words, personal care products all say MALE. So I call her a he like he wants.

>>6699759
Not only is your closet a huge waste, but so are you.

>>6700465
Haha, wow. Hate on.

>>6700472
I'm pretty sure evreyone here hates that girl, if you look at the other replies.

>>6700475
I don't hate that girl.
Disregarding that she's fat, what's wrong with collecting things? Tons of people collect really expensive shit that they either don't wind up using, or never intended to use to begin with.

If she loses the weight eventually then good for her. She can wear her brand. If not then she just has a really enviable wardrobe that you ladies get a lust boner for.

>>6699839
Yeah. Seems like most companies don't take into account that if you have wider hips, you don't necessarily have longer legs. At least men's pants have waist and inseam.

I think the best way I saw it described for woman's clothing was that it was all labeled by voodoo. You could walk into three different stores, and walk out with three different sizes. Case in point. This image that's floating around on tumblr. Same girl, three different stores.

Im going to go to Japan for school for a year and im not really talking about it so i can post it everywhere that im there and rub it in an exfriends face.

Any one interested in sugar cookie baby headbow?
It has some yellowing and a black scuff looking mark inside the headband but not seen when worn.. Maybe 45+shipping or so?

>>6700487
That's vanity sizing though. I'm an xxs at a place like walmart but a m or l at a place like abercrombie, though most places I'm medium

I want to lose weight for cosplay (I've gained a bit of weight in the past year after finally losing some) so I can make my dream cosplays look good, but now I can't even bring myself to wanting to cosplay anything in general. I just find it really hard to know how to eat healthy and getting exercise in can be hard cause I'm out doing life for most of the day (course and work), I want to join the gym again, but the time would be hard to find. I just don't know what to do.

>>6700276
My advice is to do your cosplay REALLY well. Make theirs look like an afterthought. Be the best looking one by miles.
Make other friends at the con too. If you can see if anyone else is going from the same anime you are from. Meet up with them too. That way you have a fall back meet if your original group flakes out.

It's fun to go to a new big con. Go talk on the coscom boards about it and you'll make friends there that will want to meet up. You don't have to tie your con experiance to the people in your room, especially if they are being snots.

The best revenge really is living well.

>>6700508
not so much vanity as a reflection of the target demographic - if the clientele is generally fatter then the sizes are larger as stores order a bell shaped spread of clothing with the most S, M, and L sizes and less of XS and XL with the theory being that most of their customers will fit in the middle three sizes. This ordering system hasn't changed despite people being significantly fatter, so clothes are now sized larger.

>>6700512

I'm looking for meaningful work outs so I feel you.
It feels like a total waste of energy and time to walk in circles, bike on a stationary bike, lift disc of weights, ect.

I want to walk and run to go places. I want to chop wood to work out my arms. I want to lift heavy sacks of something because it has to be taken somewhere.

>>6700522
this, vanity sizing isn't really real, it's just that people are getting bigger so the minimum size gets bigger, but it;s still called the same thing.

>>6700537
Yeah, I have an exercise bike, but I feel like it does nothing. I lost around 10lbs (converting from kg, so i think 10 is right) by eating no carbs and going to the gym for an hour and a half every day. But now I can't survive on no carbs cause I do a course eight hours a day, five days a week, work eight hours after my course one of those days, and then eight hours one weekend day too. So even getting an hour cycling in can be hard cause I have no free time to do my back log of stuff (like cosplay making). I need someone to make me a diet and work out plan.

It's so fucking stupid how black and chubbier cosplayers are treated.
Like this
http://cosplayingwhileblack.tumblr.com/post/44892082460/sourcedumal-marvelwomenkickingass
If she hadn't been black, it would have had like 3 notes. This isn't a good cosplay. She's really pretty, but the costume just... Bad.
I'm a pretty mediocre cosplayer, just starting out doing stuff more seriously, but if I would have been black (or fat or even both) I could be "tumblr famous" at this point.

I also hate the word "coloured"
Uhm hi last time I checked white was a colour too?
I really don't want to be racist. I just think people should be treated equally regardless of skintone.

>>6700543
it's just because of this new SJW culture. it's like everything that's the 'norm' is considered bad but everything else is unique and therefore amazing. it's like the whole of western world became a bunch of rebellious teen girls.

> I'll be slutty ANYWHERE, don't tell me what to do! I'm FINE with wearing shirts with writing directly on my tits, it's not for you it's for meeee!!111 Fuck everyone,

>I'm black and beautiful, even though no one said otherwise, i'm a strong independant woman, fuck white men!

>Omg fuck skinny bitches, they're oppressing me by not being REAL CURVY WOMEN.

This shit goes on and on.

The western world is turning into a bunch of brainless sex driven morons.

My agoraphobia has gotten so bad that now, even though I've made two costumes for an upcoming con, I've told everyone whose asked if I'm going that I'm busy that weekend when really, I can barely work up the courage to walk 100 meters from the house. I'm too poor for the counselling sessions that are over $270 a visit.

>>6700549

I cured my agoraphobia I had since the age of 7 (I'm 29 now) over a year ago with something called EMDR therapy.
I really recommend that, but unfortunately I just saw you are not insured and cannot afford therapy.

I know that it'll sound immature but I really have to get this off my chest, I'll use soda names

I don't want to be a bitch and tell her that Coca-cola doesn't really suit her but ..

I also proposed that I could go as an Alt!Coca-cola but she doesn't budge
Help

>>6700558
....This will be a sort of bitchy thing to do but here is my suggestion- Cosplay the character YOU want to be and do your best. Tell your friend that it's what you are going to do and how much fun it will be to be twins!

Then just look better than her since you suit the character and she doesnt.

>>6700558

Tell her to fuck off and cosplay what you want. How the fuck did she become the one in charge of what you cosplay?

>>6700564
well.. we were going to work on the characters together as they wear the same uniform so in the end if we do cosplay the same character it will end up being a competition for who has the best face for it and I really don't want us to fight.
>Then just look better than her since you suit the character and she doesnt.
I was thinking about going as 7-up or Dr.Pepper (as she really has her mind set that I SHOULD cosplay as her despite the fact that she was insisting on Coca-cola just a few months ago) with her as Coca-cola, then at the next Con, she'll wear a different costume while I'l going as Coca-cola, that way hopefully we won't fight.
Now the real problem is if she just doesn't want me to do this character at all or just doesn't want to cosplay her with me.
The thing that really bugged me tho is that she hasn't even finished the series yet (or hasn't started), until recently she was calling Dr. Pepper with another name and was confusing Coca-cola with another character.
I feel really wishy washy now, I've told her that she should cosplay the character she likes best as I didn't want to force her do a character she hates, so I said that I'm fine with doing other characters as long as we're cosplaying together but.. I somewhat regret saying this, I don't want us to waste money on characters that we're not going to look good as, but at the same time if we cosplayed as Pepsi and Coca-cola (as I originally planned) I'd be the only one happy with their character (even tho we'd look fantastic) and I'd feel terrible.
Anyway, thank you for the advice! I'll have to decide what do soon as she wants to order a Dr Pepper wig for me as soon as possible

>>6700578
See, that makes you sound like a pushover. And your friend will keep treating you like one. You don't have to fight with her,but you should at least talk to her about why she doesn't want you to cosplay Coca-cola. Stand up for yourself a bit.

I really want to get into classic lolita, but a good friend of mine had an awful experience with other lolitas and ended up never speaking to them again. I don't want to lose her, but when I tried on her skirts once, I looked damn good.

I want to get back to my lowest weight, but everyone rags on me for being "ill-looking and anorexic".

>>6700558
just tell her the character doesn't suit her well, or that she would look way better as pepsi; I mean wtf, why is she deciding what you cosplay

>>6700581

height an lowest weight?

>>6700576
>How the fuck did she become the one in charge of what you cosplay?
because she's already cosplayed before so she knows how to order from internet (I'm useless with computers) and she lives closer to places where we could easily get our materials from while I live in Nowhere, so I'm in debt with her in a way.
The reason why I'm making a big deal out of this is because this is going to be my first cosplay and I at least want to do a character that I like..

>>6700578
>while I'll be going
derp

>>6700580
>See, that makes you sound like a pushover. And your friend will keep treating you like one

I've always been like that unfortunatly
I'm afraid that If I stand up I'll end up hurting her feelings in a way and if we actually fight or something I don't want to be left alone.

>>6700582
>or that she would look way better as pepsi
I've told her that she would make a great Pepsi, and so have others but she just doesn't seem to like her, I can understand if it's because it's a secondary character but imo if I wouldn't suit a character then I wouldn't cosplay it at all, heck I would cosplay as this character if I looked good as her but I probably wouldn't.
In fact when I told her "what about Pepsi?" she said: why don't YOU cosplay as her?

anyway thanks for the advice guys, I'll talk to her tomorrow and I'll update on what will happen.

Go do some muay thai or TKD or something. lots of cardio involved in those excercises

Every time I talk to a black Lolita or Gyaru they lie about their ethnicity constantly. 10% of African Americans in the US actually do have 12.5% of Native blood in them. Another one I come across is, "I'm blasian".....no, please just stop. You make genuinely mixed-race girls look like liars. I actually have to show a picture of my mom and dad for people to take me serious now.

You know what really rustles my jimmies, those same girls will pick on actual mixed-race girls out of jealously. Then go around and lie to people about being mixed themselves. Can't you just be happy to be black and stop self hating?

>>6700537
>>6700541

You could try martial arts. High cardio, fast types and not the hurrr durrr i got 120kg of muscle mass and I'm going to put it into you kind.

5'7 and 110 lbs.

>>6699780
>>6699781
I just get embarrassed reading all these comments about obese women thinking they have curves. I'm a big girl myself and I just see lumps. I'm assuming half these girls just raise themselves on pedestals, when in reality they feel like shit. I'm currently in the process of losing weight and have only lost 30 pounds so far, but I cannot wait to be able to wear clothes that look kawaii as fuck. Nothing looks good on me right now.

If there's a small detail in a costume that no one will notice anyway I'll most likely leave it out. I feel bad about it, because it feels like I'm half-assing, but even so if it's not noticeable then I just won't bother with it. Even worse is when someone cosplays the same character as I do and has that detail, but no one can tell. During that situation I feel like the worst kind of cosplayer because people see us the same way even though the other obviously put more effort and thought in the costume.

>>6700592
your first cosplay shouldn't be of a character you're not comfortable with, explain this to your friend and maybe she'll understand

I am rather annoyed when people flip their shit because I'm black and i cosplay. Oh wow, I don't act like a hood nigga and omg i'm one of the few black cosplayers that aint cosplaying from Naruto or Bleach some other mainsteam series.

>>6699855
lol I've got a similar problem. Although with me it's my current roommate. :/

>>6700809

I feel ya. I was the only black cosplayer here for a few years back in the late 90s.

It's a sad state of affairs when everyone expects whatever comes out of your mouth to be Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, weaves, ect.

I just took it in stride. At the very least it made me stick out as a good cosplayer in a sea of other cosplayers. People look at the brown expecting to see shitty Naruto cosplay but nod their head in acceptance when they see a fitted bodice, french seams, good wig, and make up. It makes you look every better in their eyes.

>>6700488
Are you me?? I'm headed to Japan in the fall for a year and can't wait to post pictures all over while I'm there.

They're making a Madoka Magica joke maybe?

I have two really close friends - a really pretty, thin, super pale girl and a kinda fat girl. I brought the kinda fat girl to a meetup and introduced her to the fashion because I knew she'd never look good in brand, whereas my other friend would have looked amazing in it.

>>6699784
>I once had a fat girl ask to take a picture with me at a con, and I just pretended I didn't hear her and walked off. I don't want my picture taken with fat people. I think they're terrible looking (and often terrible smelling) and I'm not sorry. If you can't take care of yourself, I really don't want to associate with you.

You sound like a massive bitch. Not even a fat girl here, but it's just a fucking photo. She didn't ask to be your best friend or roommate.

Late 90s huh? You seasoned old head.

Its like, I don't get why some folks put black cosplayers at a higher standard higher if they don't cosplay anything mainstream. It' like an inverted special snowflake sydrome disorder.

Ohwell.

What the fuck am I even doing here?
I don't like the circlejerks
I'm not woman so I am not into Lolita Fashion
I don't go here to look at scantily clad women.
And I only go to conventions a couple times a year.

>>6700077
No, there actually haven't it's a load of bullshit.

Years ago, I secretly sprinkled weightloss powder on the food of one the girls in my old comm because she desperately need to lose weight and wasn't putting in any of the effort. I still feel bad.

>>6700548
I agree with your entire post except
>I'm black and beautiful, even though no one said otherwise
>even though no one said otherwise
No. Just no.

>>6700999
>weightloss powder

So snake oil?

>>6700206
You and me both
I've gained weight that puts me into the male "skinnyfat" area, and it's making me so depressed, I'm hoping with the summer coming I'll be out and about more to lose it, but going to the gym honestly frightens me because it's such a testosterone fueled place, and even though I'm a guy I get uncomfortable by it, and I feel like I'm too feminine. Which leads into cosplay because I always cosplay girly guys or evil bishounen and gays don't like that.
So yeah, my confession is just self-loathing.

>>6700999

Did she died? Why do you feel bad?

>>6700999
Uh I've heard of weight-gain powder, but weight-loss powder? All I can think of is an emetic or laxative.

I have a problem with

>fat lolitas
>fat loitas in denial
>fat lolitas that think its ok
>fat lolitas using diet pills that dont work
>fat lolitas who use BB cream which doesnt work
>fat lolitas with useless losing weight ideas
>fat lolitas who wear too much makeup which makes up 99.99% of the community
>fat lolitas who hate the idea of working out
>fat lolitas who are too naive
>fat lolitas who think they have large breasts even though its mostly fat
>fat lolitas who wear dresses that are fitted for small framed asian women


It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat

>>6701021
Snake oil that does absolutely nothing besides wasting money

I am trans. I am embarrassed to cosplay, between the bs tumblr 'trans*' kids, and the way /cgl/ nitpicks to figure out peoples sexes... I am ashamed of myself.

>>6701005
I don't remember. It was this powder you were supposed to sprinkle on food that made your appetite less.

>>6701018
Lolno she didn't die.

I hate seeing bad/mediocre black cosplayers presented as good. It's extremely patronizing and presents very low standards for cosplayers that happen to be black. This bullshit SJ Tumblr coddling where you get 10,000 notes because "w0w ur blaq and u like anime!!1!!!!1" is a constant reminder that this is what everyone sees when people mention "black people" and "cosplay" in the same context.
Being black doesn't mean it's okay to be a hambeast for fuck's sake.

I love lolita and cosplay, but since I'm a landwhale I don't participate in either. I just lurk /cgl/ for drama and wish I could fit into pretty dresses. But even if I lost all the weight I'd still be laughed at for being an ita because I'm 5'11" and everything would be second-hand/off-brand. So I spend my time being a shut-in.

Also I think sweet is overdone.

I think people who are obsessed with fatties are even more pathetic than the "we are REAL WOMEN" whales. They are both clear insecure and maybe even mentally ill, but at least the fatties try to make themselves feel better by elevating themselves rather than tearing down others. They don't even make me angry, I just feel sad for them. I can't imagine being so obsessed and furious over a stranger's body, lying saying you are angry because they are unhealthy and should look after themselves.

Also I hate bonnets in lolita, I think they look ridiculous. You are not Miss Muffet, you look like an over-grown baby.

A friend asked me to do a character so she would have someone to cosplay with. Her costume was ambitious and I knew she didn't have the skills to do it but I didn't say anything. I made mine as promised but never asked how her's was going and the day before the con she was still half assing bits together for it. When we wore them I was asked for my picture and she was right next to me but no one wanted to photograph her because she looked such a state they either didn't recognise her or didn't want a her shitty costume in the picture. She changed out of it after only an hour. I was so happy.

>I can't imagine being so obsessed and furious over a stranger's body, lying saying you are angry because they are unhealthy and should look after themselves.

This.

I don't give a shit if you're fat or skinny. It's your body, not mine. I won't pull any concern-trolling bullshit about how you're ~unhealthy~ on either end of the scale. Why? Because it's none of my fucking business. I have control over how I look. I have no control over how other people look. Being a dick to them isn't a productive use of time.

>>6700357
There is no actual evidence between MSG and weight-gain or any other dumb side affect (asthma, diabetes, depression, etc), it's all anecdotal hearsay spread but "natural food" wackos. You're just making their food more salty.

Not when obesity is a problem and lolitas having a huge percentage of them

I always wanted to be dominated by a smaller girl in cosplay. I don't know why but I find it hot if a girl would dominated me while she dressed up as an yandere character.

My friend did a photoshot with just an point and shoot camera and no post production editing. I want to laugh at her so bad.

>>6700672

Hey! Those are my measurements atm.

I don't get the "are you anorexic" stuff as much as I did when I was 100lbs, but I still get it occasionally. As long as you're healthy (active, not starving yourself) it's fine and haters gonna hate.

People used to accuse me of being anorexic and they'd tell me to prove that I wasn't by eating something in front of them. For some reason people would just buy me lunch and ice cream and shit and they never figured out that I wasn't lying and I really didn't have an eating problem.

Oh high school.

I know that feel, bbcakes <3
All of my friends still even get allowances, and their parents are paying for their cars/gas/schooling/first month's rent & security/etc.
They're awesome and I love them to death, but I see them buying really expensive things with their little debit cards and then either treating them like dirt or ruining them entirely, it just hurts my frugal, jew-y heart.
But I never wanna say anything because I've known them since elementary school and they're not like other people like that who feel entitled to everything and can't stand being told no.

But I'd never wish to be born into a wealthy family, cause I feel like I wouldn't appreciate things as much I do.

I didn't hem my fiances scarf for his keroro cosplay..

Have a friend who believes he's cleve like that. (Not insulting you, just your post reminded me of a friend) he thinks he's more clever and under handed than anyone in our group. He thinks he's a jerk and he thinks he gets away with it. He was laughing while telling me a story about how he was being a jerk to this girl and he apologized for it. She said he didn't cause any trouble but he said he laughed and said "I caused more trouble than you realize". He's not clever, he's not under handed, and the only reason he "gets away" with everything is because everyone thinks he's autistic or something. No one wants to upset him because he doesn't let shit go.
Hell bring it up everytime he sees you.
Hell try to "cause trouble" for you (when really he just has a knack for making people feel uncomfortable)

You're not clever friend..everyone thinks you have a mental disability so were all extra nice to you. (But not nice enjough that we treat him super different. We just dismiss his "insults" an his "being a dick" moods)

>>6701285

I know, right? Sorta sad when that gravy train stopped.

>>6701318
I don't think that's what he's talking about... I just say this because I'm pretty good at conning people myself, and it really has a lot less to do with the "master ruseman" type thing you're talking about than legit illegal/con-artistry shit.

Anyway, I know that feel too. There's nothing quite like pulling off a great con; it's bittersweet, because the better it is, the fewer people you can ever brag to.

I am in love with one of the tripfags here, but my hopes were crushed when I found out they had a girlfriend. It hasn't stopped me from dreaming about them though. I just pretend their girlfriend doesn't exist.

>>6700537
It's really easy to find those, depending on where you live. Try looking where you wouldn't think to look.
I used to go to a local park with a 5 mile long creek behind it. Water went over my head for about half a mile of it, so I had to climb up rocks and even swing from a few tree branches at some parts. It was quite the full body workout and I got really fit. Not to mention it was fun and didn't really feel like I was working until I got home and sat down.

But I moved to a city and now I'm skinnyfat again.

>>6700487
so she's a size 9, then.

I hate when cosplayers leave out small easy to do details. A good example is Sailor Neptune or Sailor Venus shoe straps. It's just a very 'why?' moment especially when you can see all the hard work put into everything else.

I also hate body paint cosplays, where the entire outfit is painted on. This is usually because most the ones I've seen appear to have the least amount of effort put into it. I don't doubt it's time consuming, expensive, and takes a lot of skill but it just looks like blatant attention whoring when it's done poorly and non painted details are missing (hair clips, jewerly, ect.)

>>6701405

as opposed to the eastern world, which forces women to cover their heads/shoulders/arms/legs/faces/feet/hands (pick at least two depending on country) for reasons that have nooooothing to do with sex whatsoever, right?

I allow myself to skip out on some details as long as I have an array of excuses. I can't tell you how often I say "close enough" or "I'm going to use this for another cosplay too so I can't change it" or "it's just for Kumoricon so it doesn't really matter".

My level of interest and degree of participation in a fandom varies depending on how weeb-infested it is. If it's a major weeb favorite, then I stay away from it. It's often my only excuse for not watching otherwise decent anime like Black Butler, Soul Eater, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Whenever I try to watch one, I always get uncomfortable because I start thinking of how I'm going to be lumped in that atrocious fandom.

I think I'm starting to enjoy going to conventions more when I'm by myself than with friends. It's less complicated, there's no drama, and I don't have to pick which friends to go with. But I feel bad about it because I feel like I'm turning into an elitist loner.

Whenever I look up people who have cosplayed as someone that I plan to cosplay as, I find myself nitpicking their costume over simple things (wig color, construction) rather than complimenting them.

I love it when fit guys dress up as Bro Strider.

I want to round up all the Rainbow Dash cosplayers and set them all on fire. I hate Rainbow Dash so much. She's an absolute cunt. I can handle annoying Pinkie Pies and Apple Jacks with fake accents and daisy dukes, but all Rainbow Dashes should burn. I'm not even a brony. I just hate her.

I have a fetish for guys in hoodies. Especially when they tilt their heads just right so you can't see their eyes.

>>6701473

Of all the 1001 problems the western has at the moment, fatties a fucking dumb and petty thing to obsess over. We know they're fat, they know they're fat, they know the risks of being fat and how to stop being fat. Other people who put their health at risk don't get half the perfectly acceptable hate that obese people do.

>>6701478
Seconded anon.
It always makes me feel really awkward in the fandom to hear them talk about how characters like Rarity are bitchy when I think RD acts like a major bitch at least once in every episode.

One of my friends is very young (15/16) and she makes me laugh.
>I say that I couldn't straighten my hair properly today
>"oh anon why do you do this? your hair is so ugly and it will break off! it's like straw and it's dead, I'm lucky because my hair is naturally straight so I don't need to straighten it"
>she says this while flaunting her greasy short hair that was dyed way too often
>I say that I'll have to keep my braces for another bit
>"Haha my teeth are naturally perfect and straight!"
>I hear her talking about thigh gaps
>"only anorexics have thigh gaps, they're unnatural"
>mfw I have a thigh gap
and her other positive remarks continue like her beautiful green-hazel eyes, how she is a genius, how once she thought she was a bisexual because she "fell in love" with an RPer, her love for "gothic" clothing and heavy metal guys with long hair (quickly replaced with plastic korean boy-band members), how she reads huge books in just a couple of hours and just how edgy and deep she is.
Oh god she is a constant source of amusement for me, her material never gets old.

I don't really care about fat people, but I do feel bad when I see girls (it's always girls) getting sucked into that whole "I can't lose weight because genetics/food additives/disease/it's my natural body size/feminism/the diet industry/not susceptible to laws of thermodynamics" thing. I used to be ~50 pounds heavier than I am now, and for a long time I thought that was how I was supposed to be, and it was just impossible to lose weight. Then I actually started seriously trying- exercising, cut out sugar and white flour and drank water all the time, etc.- and I finally got to a point where I feel amazing. I don't get winded walking up stairs, I'm not always overheated, I don't sweat all over my body any more, I'm not nearly so greasy, and I don't smell like ham. Those were the real consequences of fatness, and I can't stand when certain people spread the lie that you have to suffer them because there's nothing that can be done to help you.

I don't like people who are into fandoms like Homestuck whom go from being perfectly reasonable people into arrogant attention whores just because they got a little taste of tumblr popularity.
And then on their Facebooks they always flaunt how many "likes" they get as some sort of barometer to measure "success" when they have upwards of 500+ 'friends' added on there.
Oh gee, 30 people liked your picture out of the 500 friends you have? So you're happy that only 6% of your 'friends' can tolerate your shit and pay attention to you? Fuck.

>>6701500
>I don't get winded walking up stairs, I'm not always overheated, I don't sweat all over my body any more, I'm not nearly so greasy, and I don't smell like ham

I think that's a reflection of your fitness level and not how much one weighs necessarily.
As being a fatass myself I've never uncontrollably sweat, got winded after a few flights of stairs, nor smelled like...ham? Yikes.
Then again I've always managed to exercise a few times a week. I'm very guilty of overeating though (hence I don't have the proper calorie deficit to lose weight even though I exercise). I really don't lose any weight until the summer when I get serious about my eating habits. It's just too bad I regain all my losses in the winter months.

I hate the Homestuck fandom period. Even if there are sweet people who seal their body paint and don't hump each other in the hallway, I still see them as lower beings than I for even cosplaying from it in the first place.

Homestuck is a fandom that you should keep secret. Always.

Original anon here. I am healthy, I jog and go to the gym regularly and eat well! I just prefer my weight at 110lbs rather than my current 120lbs.

I got the same accusations and the exact same treatment, but at university. It's so ridiculous, no? Because you can't possibly be happy being on the lower end of the weight scale.

Having a dessert everyone once in a while isn't going to ruin your diet...

>>6701159
Oh god same. People still do that, especially family.
The fun part is that I have pretty bad social anxiety and can't eat in front of people I'm not comfortable with, so when they start pushing food at my face I freak out and cry. Cue "Oh look anon's upset this proves she has anorexia let's make a huge fuss every time she tries to eat something and then take her hesitation as another sign of anorexia huehuehuehue"
And then people wonder why I hate family dinners. Does making me cry make them feel thinner? I don't even know.

Sage because this isn't really a confession, except I guess that I hate my family? Not really /cgl/-related.

>>6701529

Man, even in university? I thankfully stopped getting accused to being anorexic, but people would pick me up quite a bit.

As a Kurshitsuji fan, no. Stay far away from the anime, it's nothing like the manga.

I don't consider simple "costumes" like Monkey
D. Luffy, and other various plain clothes characters as real cosplay. If you want my appreciation, make something that takes half an effort and is somewhat elaborate. Don't do something bullshitty like an Akatsuki cloak and a Naruto headband.

Also, I hate lolita costumes. There are too damn many of them and many of them unmemorable, no matter how decked out it looks.

Uh yeah, for you. Plenty of fatasses, like myself, out there actually know how to wash.

we'd share women if we have to haha..

I hate the fact that people have invented ~*drama*~ about me, one is supposed to be comfortable while on the internet instead I have the constant fear that everyone will laugh at me and call me names, and the best thing is that if you try to avoid it or put it behind you there will always be someone to remind you of something you didn't do.

None of my friends are skinny.
None of my friends work out to try to lose serious weight. They either do some bullshit cardio then go to chipotle or diet/not eat.
It irritates the fuck out of me how my friend will cry how her clothes don't fit. Que her trying to exercise for 30 minutes (which is good. Just...all she does is cardio half assed like) then shell say how thin she is and how her clothes barely fit and how petite she is (which is a lie shell lose maybe a pound if she's lucky). I wanna help, I do. (Not tryna say I'm some martyr I can be annoying with health and exercise)but she gets all annoyed when I try to suggest things for her.
>hey, instead of eating that frozen pot pie why not have a nice turkey salad?
>hey why don't we go to subway instead of chipotle?
>hey you should lift weights
Then she gets mad. In the mean time I've dropped 60 lbs (lost a lot of fat, gained some muscle) and she weights more than me. Which is bad because I'm much taller than her.

I've always been Just a little overweight. Always, since I was a kid, being just a little overweight got me bullied all through highschool (even though there were a lot of girls bigger than me). Now I'm actually trying to loose weight, I've dropped 20 pounds, another 15 and I've reached my goal but I'm scared, cause even though now I'm in the healthy weight range for my height I still feel huge and its really stressing me out.

>>6699636
i can't poop at conventions because if someone hears me and sees me come out of the stall it will ruin the kawaii illusion. so i just stay constipated for like 3 days.

You would never know with all the tattoos I have, and slutty/scantily dressed characters I cosplay.

I guess I'm ugly.

I'm considering suicide but before I do I either want to kill the people who ruined my life or write in a suicide note that they told me to do this and such get them in trouble with the law

I met up with some cosplayers at the mall today and it turns out they went to high school with a girl who I believe a lot of people here hate (not quite sure because it's a homestuck cosplayer and there's a lot of drama involving them?)
I had met the girl a few times so it's always weird to see stuff about her on here but turns out she really is a huge bitch and they just shit talked her for an hour and I really enjoyed it.

Worst part of that situation was when he leaned in I couldn't think of anything so I just screamed "MERRRPPPAAADEERRR" in his face. It shocked him out of it pretty fast.

What's her #? :D

I feel like an asshat for admitting that I'm a bit relieved that a friend of mine is quitting cosplay after the next con, or so he says. For this upcoming con, he wants everyone in my cosplay circle to do a masquerade skit of a swordfighting reenactment that he is hellbent upon achieving perfection with.

Everyone was okay with the idea at first, but he's been recently becoming so demanding about everything, and I don't even know if half of his ideas are even okay with con rules. Yesterday I told some members of my group how they felt, and they agreed. They also are equally upset that we usually go for letting everyone have something to do on stage instead of turning into someone's time to shine shit that he's trying to do.

I'm just really mad that he went from being a genuinely good friend into seeing my just his vessel to sew his costume and to make everyone else's. He only needs me standing on stage like a fucking idiot on stage doing nothing, and I'm contemplating on just not doing it. I know he'll make it yet another victim shit about himself and why life doesn't ever go his way. The costume he wants me to make for that bit costs way more than other cosplays I do and I like the character, just not that much for the price. I was initially in the skit since it was among friends, but why now with this attitude?

He keeps making it seem like this is his masterpiece and his swan song, and I wanna burst his bubble out of hatred for his ego but I know I will regret it. Eventually I may have to.

>>6700896
I still don't get it and I've watched it a few times.

I'm a brolita and into kink and I always feel like I'm on edge when I go to comm meetups. I'm already kind of an outsider because I'm not a girl, and I'm always thinking about how the lolita community turns on anyone who might see a sexual element in the style (For Reference: I'm not an ageplayer).

But, seriously? There's absolutely no sexual element to lolita? You've got to be fucking kidding me! There's a major sexual element to all fashion, especially alternative ones, lolita isn't magically different. Is it wrong that I want to wear frilly dresses and fuck a girl who wears the same thing? Instead we all just stand around and awkwardly talk about deserts.

Every time I see that fucking Homestuck general in /cgl/ I want to punch a small child. Maybe several small children. I see a gray person and I want to paint them red.

>>6702146
It's not like you're going to a meetup for a comm that's about lolita fetishing, it's a meetup for the fashion aspect. It just isn't the right time and place at most comm meetups to let everyone know that you're into it for the sex too, not only the fashion. It's perfectly fine to have a lolita kink, but people are usually only really annoyed if someone keeps on pushing the sexual aspect, which makes lots of people uncomfortable regardless of what kink it is.

>>6701813
me too anon <3

Someone who I use to be really close with has become this sort of entity that is hard to forget. I think it mainly stems from how jealous I am of her in that she is so easy to talk to, but after having to deal with her she is really a horrible person who uses people. It hurts that not many people seem to see how manipulative she can really be. It has taken me almost 2 years now to try to get over her, but it's hard because she lives so close to me and we know pretty much the same people. I met my current boyfriend through her.

I'm glad though she likes Homestuck because fuck that fandom, she can become even more of a cancer I never want to partake in.

I'm an ageplayer and I can't stand when people on this forum say "oh, hurr, it looks like ageplay!!" instead of "That looks stupid and like you are someone's retarded sister dressed up in ugly, badly made clothing." which is, in my opinion, what they actually mean.

You'd be surprised how many LJ lolitas are in ageplay groups on fetlife. No, I'm not going to name names.

I'm sick of people being offended by ageplay, like it's pedophilia's closeted cousin or something. I'm not even a sexual ageplayer, I just have a lot of stress in my life and I like to get it out by wearing frilly dresses, making someone else bring me cookies and tell me I'm cute, watching kid's movies with happy endings, and coloring. This doesn't mean I can't also have good taste in clothes. It doesn't mean I don't know the difference between people who fetishize adults behaving like children and people who fetishize actual kids who get taken advantage of and hurt.

And I don't like cheap shitty looking satin. But come on! These clothes are inspired by nightmare visions of child-dolls and psychedelic versions of nursery wallpaper.

Also, it's sort of disturbing when someone thinks they "look like an ageplayer" because they think they look "too old" to wear sweet loli. It seems to be implying that you think you should look like an actual child instead of an adult who is wearing something that looks sort of like something that would appeal to a child.

I hate seeing Smegma's (whatever her name is) anorexic crack whore looking cosplays pop up on Tumblr. She never looks good for any of the character's she's done because her thinness makes her look manly and weird, not cute or young.

>>6699898
Wah. baby don't wanna have a conversation??

I hate that we can't talk about anything the least bit off topic here anymore.

I only still talk to her because I think she's hot. Otherwise she's a stupid, whiny, attention whore idiot with all kinds of mental problems. I pretend to care about her problems despite them all being artificial or selfish just because she occasionally cheats on her dickhead boyfriend by sending me sexy pictures.

>>6702146

> There's a major sexual element to all fashion, especially alternative ones.

No there isnt. Protip: women dress for themselves and so even if they dress in a way that is considered attractive by others, doesnt mean that they are doing it for sexual attention. Even more so when it is a fashion that doesnt inherently read sexual like lolita which focuses not on the tight clothes and showing skin thought of what is 'hot'. This is probably why you are an outsider more than your gender, since no one wants to talk to the creepy guy who only sees you as a sex object.

With that logic anything can have sexual elements to it. Lolita is about non-sexualizing of the body through clothing, modesty, and femininity. There's nothing inherently sexual about it, however people can find sexuality elements in everything. I'm sure there are people and groups who find lolita a turn on, but the majority of us do not.

Although I agree that anon in question is an hourglass, do you actually even know how bra sizes work? 30 is the under bust, 5 inches extra around the full bust makes a DD cup.

Where the hell did you get 40 from?

I really want to hear this E true Hollywood story. I am srs.

>>6702105
I have previously yes but it was suggested that i should attend a group session... It made me feel much worse, like i wasn't sick enough and i stopped going.

The truth is that while professional help may ease the tension i feel about food i still don't feel as though there is much for me outside my disorder ie: my terror regarding money, interacting with people on a day to day basis ect...

>>6699636
Most girls today have no waist (even thin ones) or broad floating ribs and should go back to wearing corsets or girdles.

As much as I like the ideas of lolita, any skirt or dress wider than A-line look downright silly on most grown women, and thats coming from an former lolita enthusiast. Think how you must look to everyone else.

>inb4 I don't care what people think.

>>6701631
Have you read the manga recently? It's pretty awful

>>6702178
This!
I don't really see lolita as being very ageplay but that could also be due to the fact im not a sweet.

>>6702229

>I am anorexic: it is killing me and i need to actually try to get better.


I wonder why people develop anorexia. I feel so bad for them. A lot of them have thought of suicide. I wonder what could drive someone to do such a thing.

Probably not things like this

granted a LOT of larger people don't look good in cosplay/lolita, it doesn't mean that its BECAUSE they're big.
larger people just need to be more conscious about their outfits in relation to their size in order to pull things off
or lose weight.

Sometimes if I see a cosplayer cosplaying from the same series as me I will ignore or evade them to avoid conversation

>>6702239
The amount of hatred for fat people on this board is probably more than most other boards combined. Even /fit/. At least people on /fit/ will try to be helpful and get people motivated. Here we just shame anyone and everyone for not being exactly who we want them to be.

>>6702230
Well, I'm also a goth, have been since HS, and my BF is about 5 years older than me and a goth as well, so we do a lot of watching children's halloween movies and I have all the monster high dolls and vampire coloring books, but yeah... Sorry for TMI

>>6700433

What happens when it doesn't? #nohomo

I love every dress I own, but I feel so guilty for spending so much money on it.

I want to be tumblr famous lolita

>>6702278
I get it, that's part of the whole board culture since they assume that no one's going to know who is posting their large friend.

I have to admit, maybe I work better with tough love (not as extreme as some stuff here) but /cgl/ has inspired me to join the gym and actually use cosplay as a goal to feel better about what I work hard at making. It's so far been good, but I get where some of these comments are extreme.

It sadly is mostly working through and filtering what you should hear versus people just exaggerating their shit here in the security of this anonymous site.

>>6702278
I've been anonymously shaming a friend through tumblr, lately. She's been working hard on losing weight and has actually lost quite a bit, but deep down I want her to stay fat so I don't have any competition nor have to put in much effort on things like cosplay, dressing, or even personality. My friend would be pretty if she lost the weight and it's just so frustrating she won't give up and just get whale mode again. I know I'm a huge bitch to her but I don't give a fuck. I'm even making her style my wig for a group we want to do.

>>6702339
Wow. You're the worst human being I've ever ran into. Look at your life. You're the ugly one.

I'm fucking done.

>>6702377

>doesn't want competition

She already knows she's the ugly one. ;_;

>>6702377
Personality wise, yes.

>>6702423

No, I mean she doesn't think she's pretty in a very literal sense.

>>6702229
I stopped a little bit into the private school. Now I'm afraid to pick it up again.

>>6699780
It's hard for some girls to lose weight easily, despite their constant efforts, or they're lazy as fuck like me. But yeah, larger girls have to learn how to dress themselves by finding flattering clothing in the current style.

I saw a fat guy this weekend with ambiguous clothing and haircut but I couldn't separate between whether it was an ugly girl or a effeminate looking guy with man boobs. Then they said his name and I was like, ohhhhhhhh.

>>6700677
Late reply and whatever, but 30 pounds is really amazing

I got so nervous when a cute seagull asked for my picture at a con, that I think I said thanks when he asked if I come here. Forever alone.

While I love the enthusiasm of youth I do find so many socially stunted kids like the one you speak of.

I think we all go through a stage of trying to distinguish ourselves from others and some people don't realize that talking about the lottery that is genetics isn't how you do it. You have absolutely nothing to do with what genes lined up to make you. But at that stage in life you are so young you have absolutely nothing to your credit. Nothing you have made, no good job, no discoveries, nothing. So they go to the only thing that is directly them...

Most people grow out of it. But it's difficult being friends with them while they do.

You can only listen so much to how someone's eye change color with their mood, their super awesome curly hair, how many medications they take.

I'm slowly growing to hate tumblr due to the people on it. Unfortunately, it's one of the only places to really talk and interact with other fans of a series I like.

However, there's always stupid ass drama.
Like "It's insulting to transmen that so-and-so called his male friend a girl on twitter!" Or even better: "It's okay that one of the creators is being a dick to the fans because he doesn't like their fan fiction. It's called a fight or flight response."

I really want to keep meeting fellow fans and seeing cool fan art, but I can't stand the immaturity and the pervasive social justice bullshit. I'm paranoid that I'm going to get called out even though I'm pretty unoffensive and liberal because I don't know all the social justice rules. Either that, or that creator is going to seize on the fact that I've posted about him being rude and is going to make a scene.

>>6702239
Im the anorexic who posted before. I developed this disorder when i was about 13. As far as i can tell it has very little to do with weight. The truth of the matter is that when i get stressed i look for things i can control and the thing that i can control most easily is food. When i lose weight i feel like i have controlled food and i get satisfaction from that.

I think the reason a lot of people who suffer from this disorder contemplate suicide is that the daily grind that having a mental illness puts you under: Isolation, fear; hunger, and self resentment really wears you down. I hate living with myself but because i don't know how to live any other way i can't see a way out.

>>6699782
I noticed and I know who you are

I've had countless sexual relations with staff members of conventions. They give me the juicy details and inside information that other attendees do not know about.

>>6703193
Wow. Those must be extremely important privileged information.
Next time just say you like to fuck strangers at cons.

>>6702182
Oh my!

I'd like to know more details.

>>6702466
It's cricket and more cricket and Yana basically pandering to fangirls of the anime
and it's pretty much all SJWs and weebs in the fandom

There's a girl in my cosplay community that I would love to see put on blast and uttery ruined on /cgl/. She's a horrible person and an egoistical little bitch with socipathic issues. She also like to harass and mock other people, even if she doesn't even know them. This bitch is the only woman I would honestly beat the shit out of just because of her ego.

I am a firm believer that body size and type doesn't matter in cosplay but sometimes, I really wish I was muscular and had a six pack.

As much as I love my hometown convention scene, it's honestly lacking. Tend to have the same cosplayers/cosplays every year, three out of the four known conventions are always in the same building, and there's no passion anymore.

If I knew cosplay and conventions existed back when I was a child, I would had gotten into fitness, prop making, and sewing when I was younger. Granted, liking anime in the 90s was a bit of stimga so...

>>6702177
I relate to this so hard.

I need to stop going on /cgl/ but I can't bring myself to it
How can you stop going on /cgl/? This place is so interesting yet depressing

>>6703593
You get busy with real life.
I only visit 4chan between jobs and when my depression kicks in.

>>6701864
That's weirdly cute, anon. But I don't think anyone notices what going on in bathrooms, or even who's in what stall.
