/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

FFX-2 somehow ended up being my first Final Fantasy game, and I was enthralled (and confused) by the story that I attempted to cut my hair like Yuna's.
You can imagine how it ended up and I dearly wish I had pictures because it looked godawful but as expected my teenage self thought I looked the shit.

i wore a crushed velvet "coat" from a cosplay to school one time that i'd made myself. it was pretty bad, some little shithead asked me why i was wearing a bathrobe.

>>7023102
I still want this....

or just a long ass extension wrapped in fabric like that. It makes me wonder why she was designed like that anyways?

holy shit
I knew a girl who cosplayed to school because she was too sad/depressed to be herself.
now how the fuck you tryna make sephiroth your real self huh

>>7023112
I didn't even realize that was her hair.
How fugly
ew
rat tail
ughhh

I... I gave myself a hime cut when I was 18 and I thought it looked really good.

/thug lyfe

>mfw I still wear a cat bell

>>7023128
well.
lets see it.

>mfw I still wear a cat bell on a collar

I cut my hair so I had that one little bang thing that Lenne from X-2 has when I was in middle school. People told me it was cute.

>>7023133

I would but I don't feel like derailing the thread so I'll pass.

I remember I once fashioned a single dice on the end of a chain earring and I thought it looked totally original and J-rawk.

>>7023089
This...actually doesn't look bad...can use some help, but still.

I was in year 6 and I was in the prime of my weeaboo stage... I was a pretty hardcore Narutard and I used to put my hair up (literally just with hairbands and stuff, no styling at all - I was 10 though so lets cut me some slack) like Temari's.
I parted my hair into four bits and put them up with hairbands - all mismatched and different sizes too.
I also used to try to make my hair like Ino's, where I would basically pull most of the hair on one side of my head to the front over my eye and wear the rest up in a ponytail.
I also used to wear my ninja headband that I got at my very first ever convention almost everyday.

I had a Sakura (Tsubasa) haircut just in time for senior prom and graduation. It was geeky as fuck but I thought it was cute.

I used to wear a shippuden leaf village headband to school a couple of times a week and would do the ninja run with my friends.

The only time I've ever seen a hime cut look mildly okay, but that may just be due to the girl being a cutie.

>>7023145
we wanna see it.
lets see if you can actually pull it off

>>7023118
Business in the front, party in the back.

>>7023135
>>7023135
Just looking at her hair style.
All those beads would be sooo heavy, fuck.

I wanted to, but the smart in me fought the urge.
Although, in elementary or middle school, I wore a dog collar for a while. An actual dog collar.

What a shame, the girl in OP is pretty. I know this one girl, her last year of high school cut her hair like that, like she did it herself, but did not even bother to manage it. It was frizzy and gross. Her natural face is kind of wreckish, some make up would do her wonders. So much wasted potential. I had the misfortune of finding out she also attends the college I go to and has not changed a bit when she greeted me with a squee and that supah kawaii forced high pitched voice, hair still the same. Her fashion sense has also evolved from Mom-buys-my-clothes-from-Walmart to I-buy-my-clothes-from-Walmart-with-a-Nihongo-twist-desu.
Her anime art was great, though.

>>7023167
Are you sure that isn't a guy? I'm not saying she's ugly, but there are certain masculine features...

>>7023170
I sometimes did the beads as well and they were kinda annoying.

>>7023159

>have to Google Ino and Temari
>oh god

Hey, I guess it could have been worse, picture related.

>>7023168

If I do that this thread will literally go to shit in less than 5 minutes.
I probably don't pull it off and look like a spaz, but it makes me happy so why not haha

>>7023180

Eh, it could be, but either way they have really beautiful hair.

>>7023182
Yes, it's pretty.

>>7023176

Now that's dedication.

>>7023175
oh my god my friends and I wore dog collars. we thought we were so cool.

>>7023210

No my friend, you WERE cool.

>>7023179
it will NOT.
Exactly so I just wanna see what this looks like in like causally pulling it off kinda way

>>7023210

Did you look like this?

>>7023215

It's only a small one really.
I don't think there is a particular way to pull one off, you just either wear one or you don't I guess.
People should just do what makes them happy.

>>7023089
that would be so fucking kawaii if she curled the leftover hair in the front into bouncy curls

>>7023266

I think what would be cute is if she took the short pieces of hair and curled the the front pieces so they eclipse her face slightly, and then styled the long pieces into waves.

>>7023263
it looks cuuute
totally not weird or anything

>>7023278

Hurrah! tbh I don't think there's anything wrong with a small one. It's the massive fuck-off ones that look a little weird outside of cosplay/sex play.

>>7023089
I actually think this looks really cute!

wore cat ears to anime club, check.
cat bell on a ribbon around my neck, check.
studded collar, check.
arm warmers, check.

I wanted to buy a dog collar so bad but I was too embarrassed to try one on in the store...maybe it's a good thing. I guess the fact that I had to wear a uniform (catholic school) prevented me from having such a high clothing budget and doing horrible fashion experiments. It might also help that we didn't have a Hot Topic in the country at the time and the anime store in town did not carry tees either.

I have since graduated to stuff like pleated skirts and zettai ryouiki. I guess I'm incorrigible, but hey, I feel happy and I might even manage to look kind of cute sometimes.

>>7023283

It is cute but she's gonna be sol when it comes to styling. I mean, she has like what,3 options? She can wear the hair as is, pin the long pieces back or plait them.

I wore cat ears every day of my sophomore of high school, among other things. I went to an arts and sciences high school where no one gave a shit so it was cool. I honestly regret nothing, it played itself out the healthy way.

I got this cut in highschool, deep parted bangs and layers, it's shorter in the back than it is in the front. In college now but I still love the style.

No idea if its considered weaboo or not but I'm sure it's more anime than some haircuts.

my first email address ever was "sandii.chan" (my name is Sandy). I was cool as fuck.

>>7023282
yeah agreed. but yours totally works. I would probably wear that.
although if it jingled it would drive me nuts

>>7023294

It does jingle but it's a very soft, barely noticable jingle and it won't really do it unless you're shaking yourself around like crazy. But thank you lady x

I went through my weaboo phase during my freshman/sophomore year of college. Yeah, awesome. I don't even have the luxury of claiming it was those silly high school or middle school years.
I actually went through a phase where I would try to incorporate one piece of a costume with each outfit I would put together. As a costume design/construction student, I thought it would make me seem quirky, edgy, creative, whatever else...
This was also before I learned the joys of using wigs, so I styled my own hair for certain costumes, and therefore lived with it the rest of the time. Sometimes it worked, other times it did not.
Goodness it was so bad. So bad. I'm still getting tagged in photos from my department in school, and I just weep to see what I was wearing.
I looked like a crazy person, and I am surprised anyone ever talked to me at all.

One quick story too: My friend and I once went to a '70s themed free skate night dressed in closet cosplay of Roxas and Sora. We spent a good hour and a half styling our actual hair into Square Enix spikes, and thought we looked pretty darn awesome. (Spoiler alert, we looked terrible.) We did have an awesome time, though, and plot twist, the DJ was actually impressed with our crazy hair and we even won a gift certificate in the costume contest. Maybe they took pity on our delusional selves?

Does anybody have issues wearing accessories like pictured out in public?
I own this same hairband and whilst I think it's adorable as fuck, it only took a single comment from my boyfriend about it being a bit weeboo for me to retire it to my accessory drawer.

I also own those Kreepsville 666 hair horns which I think are fucking cute as fuck but I get so worried about people thinking I'm wearing cow horns or some shit.

>>7023305

Maybe you really did do a good job haha

>>7023308
Anon you must be beta for feeling weeaboo over nothing. I have the hair horns though, I don't know if it's the clips or my hair but they wouldn't stay in my hair properly, I'd have to constantly readjust them every 10 minutes.

>>7023315

Oh I actually had the same problem, and that they kept on ripping my hair out, so I removed the clips and replaced them with hair slides which is a lot better and no longer tugs at my hair.

>>7023308
It's one of those things that only really pretty people could pull off without any neigh-sayers.

>>7023294
I imagine a louder noise would give you a lot of unwanted attention.

>>7023308
You won't get more than a couple of strange stares from people you aren't going to remember.

>>7023317
I planned to do that after the glue caused one of the clips to come off into my hair, however I haven't managed to rip off the other clip yet and replace it.

>>7023329

Er, gluing them to a hairband I mean.

>>7023290
there was an art high school across the street from my high school of which I heard stories that completely surpassed our little weaboo club.

There was a girl who wore hakama to class every. single. day. She did kendo or something.

At least she was comfy I guess?

>>7023326

Well when you manage to get it off another alternative is a hairband.

>>7023313
I can guarantee you, we did not.

>>7023305
normalfags are impressed with any hair that isn't lazily piled in a topknot

A couple of years back in high school I almost got one of those short A-line haircuts to look like Liechtenstein from Hetalia.

My stylist informed me that it probably wouldn't fit my face well since my hair is so thin and frizzy, so I scrapped the idea.

Worked out in the end since I didn't even end up cosplaying her.

Other than that, I have a few fandom tees and a couple accessories. Nothing I'd consider embarrassing though.

>>7023308
I wore my horns
I got a couple comments, they were positive/curious though

>>7023089
I tried the reverse mullet look like this, kind of the party in the front look, right before this picture it was blonde and I wanted a look like this.

>>7023339
Even if it looks like a greasy, spiked mess...

>>7023368
That style doesn't look bad.

A friend and I cosplayed Mulder and Scully at school back in like 05. That counts. We were a particular brand of weeaboo.
I even found a picture.

>>7023377
My hair used to be like that too, it's like an over-exaggerated bob with layers

>>7023089
I had exactly this haircut except my long bits were at the nape of the neck, for the Yuna X-2 look. I wore them in two tiny braids.

I'm sure I looked a little weaby, but no regrets, loved that haircut.

I also had one of the higher quality village-hidden-in-sand plates with the larger navy fabric that I totally wore as a belt. People seemed to like it, though I did get called out for being a narutard.

I will also wear my Chopper (post timeskip) hat out and about - shopping, bank, etc. Reactions are usually pretty nice though.

>>7023368
I had hair kind of like this, except it was shaved above the ears and frizzy. I was inspired by Ryouhei from Megamasso. I also thought decora was a good idea about the same time. I was older than I dare mention. I think this is the worst because I was old enough to know better.

>>7023323
.....Crawford?

>>7023368
Ah~ I had that haircut for awhile.

>>7023266
>>7023277

>>7023263
>tfw Spoony

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
I actually didn't know cosplay was a thing until the end of my senior year in high school, but I never had a compelling interest to look like an anime character either because I knew I most definitely did not. Didn't stop me from being a disgusting mall goth as a freshman, a scummy looking icp fag as a sophomore, and a cheap looking prostitute with platinum hair extensions the rest of the time.
>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
Nope. For me it was bondage pants and armwarmers. Also had this stupid fantasy of dying the ends of my hair green or blue. Good thing my parents didn't allow me to do that. Gag me with a spoon.
>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
I wanted to, but again I knew I couldn't pull it off. My senior year I put these awful pink streaks in my hair though.
>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
Yes, and they were usually asshole elitists who thought they knew better about ~*~nippon~*~ and ~*~anime~*~ and ~*~kawaii~*~ than everyone else. I didn't like these people.
Our anime club president thought she was the embodiment of Yuna from Final Fantasy. To this day she's a massive weeb and started to date some ugly fat asian because her 10/10 jpop idolru never came for her.

>>7023176
Hey, better than thinking they're "earrings" like this one girl I know. She wore these heavy as fuck earrings when she cosplayed her because she was convinced that's what they were WTF...

I remember trying to incorporate anime hair styles when I was younger (like grade school). I tried to make my hair like Kari's from Digimon (Season 2). It was shoulder length at the time so I would tie it up in a weird ponytail/bun where I wouldn't pull it all the way through and it would lay a bit spiky against my head and I would put my bangs to the side with a pink clip. It probably looked really dumb.
I use to wear goggles and naruto headbands like hairbands and I don't think many people noticed the naruto headbands unless they knew the show. Wore a cat collar as a necklace a couple times. Dropped all this by second year of high school, still have headbands as a reminder.

I used to try and dress to resemble Edward Elric in 6th grade since I wanted to not only ~*~totally marry him omg~*~ but I wanted to meet Vic Mignogngnagna.
I also spoke in broken japanese.
Constantly.

Honestly, I pretty much pretend that middle school didn't happen.

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
I did not.

>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
I'm actually in the market for one, something subtle. Something that could pass as a choker, I guess. The pic related ones are nice. Simple buckles, no d-rings, a nice color. I'd probably wear the buckle in the back. Or maybe I'll get a thick velvet ribbon choker with a small bell (like this size >>7023263).

>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
I wanted straight bangs and sidelocks just like my kawaii japanese animes and lolita wigs.
Everyone told me that I shouldn't risk bangs (my hair is curly), I gave myself straight bangs and sidelocks anyway. Ended up looking great, it always stay flat and straight. I get lots of compliments on it, at least.

>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
We had a couple of girls at my high school who would cosplay their poorly sewn to school. I didn't talk to them much, though. I don't know anything about their personalities.

>>7023701
> in the market for a collar now

Sophomore year of high school, I cut my hair into a layered bob and would spike up the back like visual kei hair. Except I didn't even know it was visual kei, it just struck me as ~Japanese~ so I did it. And this proceeded my scene phase during freshman year, where I covered 87% of my face with hairsprayed bangs, teased my hair like crazy, and made myself a Gir hoodie.

I fizzled out of phases after the spiked hair, though, and became the normal and boring adult I am today.

>>7023701

So you're basically still in your weeaboo stage.

That, or are you either a furfag wanting a collar for casualwear or one of those bondage people?

>>7023697
I did the same thing, except I cut mine into a bob like hers. I had butt length hair at that point.

6th grade was the high point of my weaboo phase just thinking about it makes me have to cringe omg i wore fingerless gloves and cat ears to school like every day I told people about yaoi and how hot ichigo is from bleach and i have to stop i'm going to throw up i'm so happy i left that school before I was known for that holy fuck

I was really lucky that my weebness was not that bad. I only took some manga to school to read in the breaks. I was more of a horrid metalhead, because of my now ex-boyfriend. I had dyed my hair black, it was all greasy and I wore this way to big bandshirts with a spiked collar and jeans. Got I am still ashamed that I was such a freakshow.

>>7023713
I feel your pain so majorly, Anon.
The saddest part is that I look back at my friends from that stage, and they are STILL weeaboos.
We're in college now.

>>7023704
>Not sure if actually scornful or have just been waiting to use that reaction image
I will fully admit that my love for collars has clouded my view on what is socially acceptable. What would be doing it right, and how far is too far gone? Big obnoxious bells? O-rings?

I'm not planning to trounce around with my hands curled up, saying 'nya', purring, nuzzling people, wearing ears, tails, nor drawing on whiskers, if that changes anything.

Pic related is what I meant by a velvet choker

>>7023717
That's hot.

>>7023708
>one of those bondage people
Unfortunately, yeah. I feel much more comfortable with a collar on. It makes me feel secure. I guess you could compare it to a security blanket. Or maybe when you forget to wear your watch for a day? And you keep grabbing your wrist to adjust it or to check the time, and it isn't there? The lack of weight on your arm making you feel like your hand'll just shoot off into space?
Sort of like that. But I don't want to be an obnoxious wad about it. So that's why I'd do something subtle and would never combine leather + bell, only go for one or the other.

Pic is another idea. Bell is much too big for my tastes, though.

>>7023717
>>7023708 brings up a pretty good point
People are going to assume you are into bondage if it looks too much like a collar.
Anyone I have seen with a collar has a "master" (since they are a "slave"/"sub")
Usually these are the collars with the O-rings on them and stuff.
Meanwhile I know a few furries who wear the collars with the big bells on them.

There is a reason you can buy collars like those from sex shops, bondage websites, and websites that sell furry tails and ears. (i.e. Pawstar)

> If it looks like a collar, and you do NOT want to be associated with either of these groups, then you are going the wrong direction.
>If you don't mind being mistaken for, like mentioned, a furry or a sub, you might want to rethink this desire of yours.

>>7023717
Oh, but the choker you posted an image of would be fine.
Just be careful.

>>7023729
So if there's a bell or if there's a buckle or if there's leather, it's a no go, period?

Damn. I guess I'll just stick to plain, no-frills ribbon chokers then.

>>7023734
If you do not mind that people may recognize it as being from a sex shop, or if you do not mind being mistaken for a sub or furry, then it is fine.
Google 'fetish collar' if you are worried. A lot of the leather collars you see, though, WILL be easily found in sex shops like Castle however.
Especially ever since 50 Shades of Gray made bondage "cool"

>>7023731
That looks awful.
Just get a thin choker

>>7023717
The choker in this pic is fine. I have a black velvet choker with a silver and sapphire pendant that I like to wear.

>>7023738
What about leather collars that don't have rings or hell even buckles or anything on them?
Like this one- No rings, no buckles, no locks, no nothing, it's secured with snaps.

>>7023740
Yeah, I know the lace is shit and the bell is too big, but if it was a pink ribbon choker, good lace, the bow, and a tiny bell like in >>7023717 >>7023263 would it be any better? How about if you take out the bell?

Guys I don't know where the line lies anymore. Where does this >>7023717 be okay but >>7023731 not be?
What makes >>7023701 this one bad?

Is it the buckle, is it the size of the ornament, is it the thickness of the band and what size would you need to bring it down to to be acceptable?
If it is the thickness of the band, is there a material that would make it better? I'm guessing a thick ribbon choker is better than a thick leather choker, but I don't know

Please don't let me be like >>7023231 because I would if I could

I don't expect to get an honest response out of anyone but you guys.

>>7023756
If it looks like it should be on an animal, then it's a no-go.

Those two lace ones are fine, anon just thinks the bigger ribbon is ugly.

Small bells are best, though all bells are rather obnoxious. So at least make it so it won't make noise.

A leather choker like in the image you just posted is fine, since it does not look like it would be on a dog's neck.
Adding any rings, bells, or buckles, however, would make it look 'dog-like.'

Giant bells, o-rings, giant buckles = all bad, always.

Ribbon chokers are just... well, chokers, so whatever.
Small bells on those are best only.

If it looks like it could or should be on an animal, basically, then it's a no-go.

>>7023756
Yes take out the bell. If you feel like you need 'something' do a heart locket.
The ribbon in the photo is also cheap and looks like it would rip in the rain.

>>7023160
The fucking ninja run.
I remember doing that shit all the time in the 4th/5th grade. Jesus Christ.
I remember when some wierd black kid thought he was a vampire-ninja in the akatsuki had a crush on me. He used to steal my beanie (I used to put a beanie on my head all the time because it was cold+too fucking lazy to comb my hair) and say he woud give it back if I gave him sasuke's severed head.

Shit was so cray.

>>7023784
You just reminded me of something I wish I had forgotten - that stupid fucking ninja run.
I convinced so many people it made you run faster, too.

Coincidentally, I do run fast, so it didn't help because I actually believed the ninja thing helped.
Which made me do it more.
And made kids fucking believe me.

Oh god why cant i erase the past

>>7023794
Your post is like looking into a fucking mirror, anon. I used to do that shit in PE thinking I was more "aerodynamic".

>>7023800
I used to say it made me more aerodynamic, too.

Also, I knew a kid (who wasn't black) that had a crush on me that thought he was a vampire-kitsune-werewolf-ninja-demon (and would act like it, too.)
Actually... he's still like that. He also makes up crazy-ass stories to make his life sound like an anime, and occasionally pretends to cough up blood or weaken or some other shit because he 'isn't human'.

I think he and your black kid need to meet.

>>7023802
OH. MY. GOD.

I remember I lied to him saying I was a ninja and I went to ~Nippon~ to train to scare him away. He he made up a shit-ton of stories about going to dojos and killing the entire ~Uchiha Clan~.
Oh lord they DO need to meet!

>>7023717
This just popped up on my dashboard. Maybe you can consider chokers like this as well? I just thought it was cute(sans bad lace).

>>7023808

My guy has killed off his parents about 15 times now with his lies, it gets ridiculous.
We need to get these two in contact somehow.

>>7023764
>>7023765
>>7023809
Okay, alright. I think I can be not an obnoxious dunce. At least I'll do my best. Thank you guys so much!

>>7023811
Yeah. no kidding.

My elementary to middleschool life was fucking crazy with weebs.

6th grade - a crazy midget Jehovah's witness who sounded like he breathed helium 24/7 who was obsessed with yu-gi-oh and SPREADING THE LORD TO MY HART (thats not even the beginning of it)
7th grade-typical weeb shit
8th grade- ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE. Emo chicks everywhere who LIVE off of starting drama with eachother. Pictures of self-harm on dA and facebook 24/7. This girl I used to know fucked another girl with her mom's dildo while drunk at a party ( I SHIT YOU NOT). I got some weebs expelled for drinking vodka (These fuckers were chugging down BOTTLES of this shit) while wearing their shitty attempts of Russia cosplay.

THIS LIST IS ENDLESS

>>7023824

Ever wish you could delete middleschool from your memorybank?

My hair is currently in the style of Brief from PSG. Orange and low bangs and everything. But then again I don't style it and it is thick enough to look good.

Had a week during my weeb phase when I decided I was going to do naruto makeups. I think I did Gaara, Oroshimaru, that pierced akatsuki guy and I can't remember. Straightened my hair and did Misa Amane ponytails.
I tried to be visual kei, my hair was just frizzy and long though. Wore skirts over grey jeans and layered different shirts matched with armwarmers and palestina scarfs. Thankfully I never did the eyeswirls and for only havig three different eyeliners, black white and red eyeshadow and a terribad mascara I did pretty decently. Though it was still bad. Oh well.
I remember once drawing a diamond on my cheekbone. It looked decent it was just stupid and out of place.
Once wore my terrible chopper had made out of cardboard to school.
Had a old studded belt that I wrapped twice around my neck and used as necklace, collar thing.

I never really got around to buy any embarassing clothing or anything as I for one thing hated buying clothes and for another was to nervous to go into our local alternative fashion shops.

I then went on to black hair with red extensions and blond coontail fringe. It didn't actually look half bad. I have to admit I miss it at times.

Fun fact most of my cosplays incorperate street fashion, so certain pieces I wear as casual wear.

>>7023829
Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't because THOSE STORIES ARE JUST. SO. RARE.

Luckily I never did anything fucking crazy in middleschool. I was trained from the very moment I was born that if I broke any rules, my ass would get beaten. Not spanked. Beaten.

I don't like things by my neck so I thankfully bypassed the collar stuff. I wore cosplay to school only on halloween. Though, I did let my hair do whatever it wanted to in attempt to look like Severus Snape because I loved him or something idk. I stopped trying to understand my high school self long ago.

Though my hair right now looks like a bad attempt at a VK style but that's because my ex hair colorist messed up my hair.

I have a friend thats convinced he is the reincarnation of goofy but nothing anime wise...

I used to have a hime cut. I thought I looked good. I didn't. At all.
I reaaally wanted a cat bell collar, but the ones for actual cats were too small and I wasn't at the weeb level of wearing dog collars. I had (and still have) a steampunk-looking choker, but it's never been "kawaii" enough for me.
I'd also sometimes put beads in my hair and tie it up to look like Rikku. I never really got any flak for it because I'm ethnic and everyone just sort of assumed it was normal.

>>7023701
do you have a link to where to buy those collars?
sage for off topic

>>7023089
Wore a cat bell sometimes, one of those kinds you get from the Dealer's Room with the shitty lace, and had an Akatsuki jacket that I wore all of once to school. I think I wore it in my ID photo for that year, ugh.
The bell's in a dresser somewhere, and I sold the jacket to some sucker for just as much as I bought it for.

>>7023701
>>7023717

Well I'm the girl who posted with the collar and funnily enough, I bought my small black one from the exact same seller who makes the pink one.

Her eBay name is penny_soo_twirly and you can find her at this link:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/penny_soo_twirly

Her shop is closed right now due to her recieving a large number of orders, but she also has an Etsy, so here's the link to the pink one you were looking at:

Just as a note, the one I'm wearing in my picture has a different bell on it to the one advertised in the original listing. I didn't like the bell she coupled it with (a bit too square) and wanted a more anime-looking bell so I sent her a message and she swapped it for a bell she uses with other collars so if you plan to buy from her then just make sure you do this before you buy. They're all handmade anyway so it's not an issue for her :)

erm right, 4chan is being a cock and thinks this post is spam, but you can find this girls Etsy if you google "etsy twirly trinkets".

>>7023618

Was this post really necessary?

>>7023899
Why even respond?

When I was in primary school, I used to wear my Starfleet uniform every non-uniform day. On days where I had to wear my uniform, I pinned my com badge to my sweater and wore pips in the collar of my shirt. I also, a little later, had some stick on Borg implants like Seven of Nine's and I used to wear those.

I'm glad I stopped doing that in high school.

Here are some of my coveted lolita coords from when I was in middle school.

1. This was like, my first one. I was so proud of that cat ear hat. I guess kinda thought it was a more classic gothic style.

2. Gosh, this was a Naruto themed coord I made, mainly because I had an orange sweatshirt and was desperate to scrounge together as many coords as I could. lol flipflops with fishnets, cuz that's what ninjas wore rite?

3. Sweet lolita. This wasn't horrible as just an outfit, but i wore at least 15 of those shitty rainbow hair extensions. But I wore them to like..make my hair longer, so they were all clipped in one row on the bottom of my hair. So frizzy brown hair, and scene kid extensions to make them longer. I just...fuck.

4. A more elegant gothic style lolita. Those 'arm warmers' were tights i cut and put finger holes in. That dress was so short you could prob see my ass.

5. Oh God, I was so proud of this coord..this was like, the final ita lolita coord I put together before I realized I was a fucking idiot. I stole those minnie mouse ears from my baby cousin. I was out of control.

Thank God my mom never bought me any of the 100's of Milanoo dresses I begged her for. I also didn't know about conventions or lolita comms back then, thankfully. I did wear this shit to school all the time, but at least I didn't make an idiot out of myself and show up at meets.


I would also love to see people in this thread make Polyvore collages, considering a lot of people don't have photos/bravery to post said photos of their past mistakes.

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
I never did, but I did wear cat ears and a Naruto headband a lot. My friend wore vampire fangs, Naruto's jacket, and a headband all throughout middleschool and was dubbed "vampire girl".

>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
I was really close to buying and wearing one from a con but so glad I didn't.

>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
Yeah, the pic is before I cut it but it was supposed to be Greece from Hetalia's hairstyle. I went to a cheap barber shop so ofc it looked nothing like it and looked like crap anyways.

>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
Ugh, yeah, I had this friend in freshman year who'd always want to LARP as Alucard or Grell, among the many others cringe worthy things she did.

I wore a Naruto headband all through sixth grade, I stopped wearing it early-ish in seventh, but around then I also bought a BTSSB cardigan, not the plain kind with just the logo embroidery, but instead this OTT mess with detachable sleeves and crochet flowers on the collar and hem. I wore it to school a couple times with a plain pink long sleeve shirt, a barely ruffly white skirt (with this black tulle skirt from some v-kei shop on ebay underneath, as if it made a difference), black and pink striped thigh highs, platform mary janes, and a poorly sewn pink hairbow I made myself.

>>7023902

Because I get sick of seeing her fat fucking face all over this board.

>>7023923
#3 isn't bad, but I agree with the extentions.

Thankfully when I was in middle school, I was just a total dork and wore terrible things, but anime was virtually not that well known outside maybe Sailor Moon, which I wasn't into. I was just a huge Disney nerd. I did have some terrible outfits:

Horrible spandex leotard with long sleeves that had a tacky colorful coin print on it with a hot pink net shawl sorta thing, and hot pink tight pants (sort of like skinny jeans but they sat closer to the waist), and pastel colored flat sneakers. Oh and I had a really bad outdated 80's haircut that looked horrible with my hair texture. And giant purple and teal plastic-framed glasses (everyone called them Barney glasses), I thought it was a cute outfit...

Though when I was in college I had a really minor weeb stage, granted I was older. But I did have little cat ear hairclips from Hot Topic that I wore out in public a lot. Thankfully that was it.

More Britaboo than weeaboo but still funny.

I was always wondering why the fuck this guy I saw around campus was always wearing a scarf, even in oppressively hot weather. He would wear the same scarf, hat, and vest every single day.

Then one day I stumbled upon some Doctors on tumblr and realized he was cosplaying from Dr. Who every fucking day. I knew what Dr. Who was, but I'd never seen an episode. It was a startling realization for me.

Most of the pictures from these times have been deleted off of facebook by now, but there remains this one where you can slightly see my collar (Im on the left). This was in like, middle school, and I'd wear them ALL the time. I had a ton of collars (red, black, lavender/green/pink leapord print etc), in fact my mom would even buy them for me sometimes, she totally supported my use of them. Sometimes I just stop and wonder of what people must have thought of me... oh god. Funny thing is, now I'm actually into wearing collars as a fetish.
Kill me.

>>7023940
Niggawat, she rarely even posts her face anymore, unless I'm just not on /cgl/ at the right times.

The pic speaks for itself. I also bleached my hair to cosplay Deidara. At least I had the sense to buy a good costume and not a piece of shit cosplaymagic or milanoo thing.

>>7023965
Who is Spoony?
I'm on here so often that I have a shortcut to /CGL/ on my phone, and I only know Spoony by name.
So yeah, she's never posted.

Who exactly is Spoony?
I've only heard her name.

Well.

>>7024037

I am.
I'm on oldfag retired camwhore who used to shit up multiple boards on 4chan to pass the time. The alias spoony is now infamous due to a time where I was having my image spammed across multiple threads on /cgl/ and this lasted a good few months; which to be fair was mostly my fault. Like you literally couldn't come to /cgl/ without seeing a thread about me/that featured me, to the extent where even I got sick of it. Occasionally the alias is still mentioned.
I stopped tripfagging over a year ago and I now browse casually, but I prefer to stay generally unnoticed hence why I blanked out my face earlier.

That's pretty much it. Lets put it to bed now and not shit up an amusing thread.

>>7023089

A guy at my college wears a full suit to college and he includes a fedora in his masterfully created monstrosity. It's cringy.

Another girl dresses as a lolita all the time and dyes her hair a different colour every week or so, plus she started wearing cat ears to college and acting as a cat and other people are copying her...

>>7024056
Oh. Nice to meet you, Spoony.
I have 100% nothing against you.

There was this one Filipino girl who threatened to kill me because I called her a weeaboo for constantly obsessing over anime and speaking in Japanese when she isn't Japanese.

She said that since she is Filipino, that automatically makes her Japanese because she is Asian.

>>7024062

Cheers brah'.

Contributing to the thread, I used to try to style my hair like Yuna from FFX-2, but it didn't really work the way I expected and I ended up having a few greasy strands of braided hair hanging at the back of my scalp.

Final Fantasy destroyed an entire generations grand hair expectations.

>>7024037

The hair is supposed to be Mei/Rosa from pokemon. Never wore it out, but I did love the style.
Oh god, I used to wear a cat bell, I was inspired by Ichigo from Tokyo mew mew, just thinking about it makes me cringe!

>>7024085

That is actually fucking kawaii, you should totally wear it out casually. You make it look really fashionable in that picture.

>>7024085
Reminds me of the plant girl from Sky High

> cringe

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
I didn't usually cosplay to school, unless it was "spirit week" when everyone dressed weird. I did wear my old Allen Walker coat from D. Gray-Man a couple times, but it was professionally made by someone else, so at least it wasn't a hot mess. More than costumes, I wore kogal in my junior and senior years and in college, but I'm tiny and know how to match skirts, blazers, ties, etc. (no sailor style), so I'm not forever cringing.

>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
I did this a little a long time ago, but I stopped pretty quickly. I just wore regular chokers instead.

>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
I didn't cut it to resemble any particular character, but I cut it so that I had some chin length hair that I left down when I put up the rest into a ponytail or other hairstyle. It was animu inspired but didn't look too bad.

I had a friend who bleached her hair for Misa from Death Note though. She styled it exactly like Misa's hair (not every day though). She usually used wigs, but I guess she just got really into her Misa cosplay. The color looked good on her, so I don't think she stares at her old pictures in horror.

>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
Fuck yes. I had a guy friend who just adopted the personality of whatever anime character he really liked at the time. It was really annoying. The three I can remember are Kyo from Fruits Basket, Edward Elric from FMA, and Ayumu Narumi from Spiral. Ayumu was the worst, since he started just acting like a dick. (He didn't dress like the characters all the time, but he took their personalities and mannerisms.)

There wasn't a question for this, but I had a friend in college who cosplayed almost daily for the first two years that I knew her. She went to class and everything like that.

i actually think collars look really hot on girls

>>7023947
That's actually pretty adorable. I can just imagine a mini fourth doctor running around.

>>7023089

Honestly, that hair cut is kinda cute. I've seen worse in high school. Terrible dye jobs and shitty emo and scene hair cuts.

My weeb phase wasn't terrible, but a lot of it unfortunately shown in my haircuts.
I wanted a new hairstyle and wanted to go shorter and maybe try to pull off the wispy shorthair look of Sasuke or something. Needless to say, the duckbutt style looked terribad on me. Also long dramatic strands of hair in the front with a very short back, sort of A-frame looked terrible on me, also inspired by animu girls.
Eventually everything grew out, but eugh. What a terrible time in my life for hairstyles.

I also tried to dye my hair blue once for a convention. "Well the character has blue hair, and I think it'd be cool to have blue hair, so I can go ahead and do this." Leaving an 8th grader alone to dye her hair with kool-aid is one of the worst things my mother could have done. Luckily my friend came in and tried to salvage the project midway, but it was no good. I ended up with a weird gradient because all of the dye and conditioner was concentrated on the top of my head and faded back into blonde at the tips.
What's worse is that I had a terrible haircut to already match the terrible dye job, and the blue ended up turning out more like a Sailor Neptune green. And of course, it lasted for 6 months.

Glad that's over with. Never again. Luckily this was pre-the Facebook boom, so even though I have photos, no one will ever have to see.

>>7023089
I actually had this type of hair cut before. And I think it suits the girl in OP's pic really nicely.

If you gave it the time of day, it was really cute style to have. I used to curl the ends of the long strands or just wear them straight. I also used to wear them at braids sometimes. I used to get compliments on it. But there was a limit on how you can style it.

Needless to say, I got tired of it really quickly. And now, when I think back on it, I feel really weeby knowing I had that haircut.

The things I did were actually never really noticed by anyone else other than friends. I "cosplayed" Kai Hiwatari to school but it was just me wearing jeans and a black shirt with a long white scarf.

I did have a kind of hideous shirt I used to wear when I was 14 though, which just had an enormous badly-drawn anime girl face on it. I thought it was amazing and used to wear it everywhere...

yeah this girl's hair looks way better than most white chicks who try to get anime cuts, I'm sure it requires a lot of upkeep to keep the edges flared right but it looks goo. i can't with frizzy haired lolitas tryna get a princess cut

>>7023102
oh GOD are you me? I did the EXACT same thing when I was like 16. I had them try to give me 3 distinct layers (mind you this is USA hair stylists) and of course it look so awful I actually had to cut off the bottom layer just so that it looked normal.

Then I had short short hair after trying to grow it out.

>>7023296
That is my haricut now...It actually has a name: Angled Bob

>>7024122

Fuck I want to isolate her scalp and pour gasoline on the hair. There is no redeeming that.

>>7024216

Maybe... I am you.

>>7023809
This one is nice

obviously I was misao from lucky star

Was a bitch to get even hair again after that

I used to wear mini pigtails like Misa Amane and a ponytail like Deidara and sometimes I even wore my headband to go with it... then I switched to just wearing a bell on a red ribbon as a collar. I still think those are cute but I'd never wear one now ;_;
I also had a hime cut for a while before realizing it looked retarded as fuck.

>>7024122
>>7024222
goes nicely with the stache.

I once tried to cut my bangs like Yui's from K-On! Needless to say, I messed up. Even put yellow hairclips in my hair. I know that photo's exist..

>>7024278
Kawaii as fuck, mah nigga. Kawaii as fuck.

> Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?

Yes, Medusa of Soul Eater, Chrona of Soul Eater and The Sawyer of Black Lagoon

I wear in a convention nekomimis, and until this days I have a lot of buttons on my clothes/bags/etc

>>7024358
I forget... my classmate thinks that she can do the emoticons :3 with her face... and she look so awful when she tried...

>>7024278
Ha, I first second thought that it was Mayumi from Shuffle! (it has been ~9 years since I watched it). But a Misao is fine too (both were best side charas).
Really damn cute. Would talk to, if not to damn young.

>>7024397
I was like 15 there though, I'm 19 now

>Kawaii, which translates as 'adorable', is a Japanese sub-culture which places emphasis on being as cute as possible.
Although the best known aspect of Kawaii is the kitsch fashion, Kawaii girls and boys also apply the concept to the way they live and behave.
>While it looks similar to other Japanese cultural phenomena such as Hara Juku, Kawaii girls have a more doll-like appearance, with big doe-eyes, pastel-coloured make-up and colourful hair.
Kawaii fashion is based on Victorian fashion, with wearers intent on looking cute, innocent and pretty courtesy of lace, ribbons, bows, ruffles and aprons.
>The most common form of Kawaii is the Classic Lolita, which has subsets, including the Sweet Lolita, which has even more ribbons, bows, and lace, and Fairy Kei, which often includes giant bow headdresses or bonnets.
>Because Kawaii is a lifestyle rather than a purely fashion phenomenon, certain behaviour such as high pitched voices and girly giggles are expected of those who embrace it.

I'll look for them in a bit, I'm currently packing my bags for a vacation.

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
No but I had some laughably bad "gothic lolita" outfits I got off ebay that either looked like square dancing outfits or were glued together because I refused to spend more than $30 on anything.I'm glad I had that limit or else I'd be up to m eyes in ita Bodyline outfits by now. (I was obsessed with them in high school)
>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
My friend bought me a collar and sometimes I put this massive bell on it. Thankfully some time after high school I lost the collar.
>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
I had a hime-cut for a while in high school.
>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
One upperclassman would dress up as Witch Hunter Robin all the time, and this one girl I knew looked like she stepped out a Hot Topic photoshoot. I'm just glad I left high school before Hetalia, Vocaloid, and Homestuck hit.

I had to dig up photobucket to find these. I wanted short hair, but due to my family's religious ass cult (not really a cult, just southern pentecostal) I couldn't really cut my hair so I TRIED to give myself a hime cut.

Unfortunately because my hair is wavy and frizzy as fuck. It never looked right.

Also look me me working that tiny half ass wanna be choker, lololol.

>>7024482
I think it's actually impossible to write an article about lolitas for a major paper that gets any of the facts straight and doesn't make us look like freaks or paedophiles.

>>7024423
I can't seem to find our old camera, sorry anon!

when i was in sixth grade i wanted a haircut like OP's pic, and i wanted to dye the front parts blue because i was SUPER ORIGINAL AND COOL but my mom wouldn't let me. then a girl a few years younger to me did it and i was mega jelly because she did the exact same thing, i used to give her the stink eye all the time and when the blue dye faded to a gross greenbrown color i used to joke that she looked like she had seaweed hanging off her face. then she started coming to school in cosplay and "lolita" and shit that girl was everything i very nearly became had my parents let me run free
middle school was not a great time for me

>>7023089
I had my hair cut similar a year and a half ago. I didn't look that bad, but the long bits were kinda akward. I was trying to go for a Megpoid look.
Around 2009 I had my hair similar to Misa Amane (jeez) I used to wear pigtails and all, but luckily iy was my natural hair color and not some cheap blonde.
Sometimes I'd wear a bell and my backpack was full of anime pin-buttons.
I still have the pictures *cringes*

I cosplayed in high school. Mainly for Halloween or homecoming week theme days, but I did it. I was such an obnoxious weeaboo back then. I look back and wonder what the fuck I was thinking.

I used to wear my red NERV clips quite often. It's only recently that I've stopped putting my hair into two half ponytails on a regular basis.
Still get urges to dye my hair pale pink so it looks *kawaii*

>>7024605
But half ponytails are a normal style.
And pink hair IS cute? Even in mainstream fashion right now.

Girl, let loose.

>>7024488
Oh my God I want that hair

>>7024088

Thank you! I finally found a use for my incredibly think hair. Not too sure what I could do with my fringe though...

I had the j-rock mullet when I was in college. Looked awful and really weabooish.

>tfw people ask you why you stopped getting that hairstyle as they think it looked great on you...

Heheh, I actually have a story I can share in this thread.
When I was in grade 5, I was a huge narutard, and I was obsessed with Hinata Hyuga specifically. I asked a hairdresser to cut my hair like hers, but she ended up doing it like pic related instead, so when I got home I cut (horribly and straight-across) around the front pieces myself so it looked like Hinata's hair. I have naturally straight dark brown hair and light eyes, so I was really content with that fortunately. I can't imagine how terrible it'd be if I'd tried to wash-out dye my hair blue-black or some ugly shit that wouldn't of suited me and wouldv'e looked shitty once my roots grew in. I had a few friends who were also narutards, but two of them were boys and they didn't adjust their looks or anything like I did. I also used to only wear (literally almost every single day) a light beige hoodie, black yoga capri pants, and blue sandals (like a closet cosplay of Hinata's outfit). It was disgusting. Oh, and my friend and I used to draw Naruto's cheek lines, Sasuke's weird black marks on his neck, and Gaara's eyeliner on ourselves in black sharpie. We were horrible kids, haha. Looking back on it, I'm not even embarrassed, I just feel like laughing.

>>7024701
>black sharpie eyeliner
that's just retarded and dangerous. Why wouldn't you just get cheap shit from the dollar store?

Ugh. I never want to remember early high school. I deleted a lot of my photos but I dug up one from my facebook. I dyed my hair half and half when I went through the Jrock phase because I wanted to be like Waka from Danger Gang. When I cut it, I did what OP's photo looks like, and spiked the back like Sasuke's hair. I was dubbed Duckbutt for a week and I kept it up until I ran out of hairspray.
Thank god, I never wore cosplay to school but I wore the dumbest hats.

>>7023952
What the actual fuck in that on the trees in the background

>>7024488
It's funny, because it is hipster bitches and scene chicks who do this, not weebs

I'm really lucky that my mom never allowed me to get my hair cut crazy.
I would have done some atrocious things to it to look like anime characters.

I just hope I don't hate myself in a few years after whatever my current thing is.
I pretty much go around dressed like a 1950s housewife or (clothedlol) pin-up, hair and all.

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?

Luckily, being home schooled I never had the chance to embarrass myself like that. One time though, literally one time, I tried for a FRUiTS look and put on...
>camo pants with holes in the knees
>a fullmetal alchemist shirt
>big old work boots
>black and white striped arm warmers
>my crazy long hair (past my ass) my in twin tails
>A fuck-ton of rainbow bracelets and shit.

As soon as my ass hit the backseat of my mothers car I knew I looked retarded and begged her to let me out to change. She said we were running late and I was stuck in that ugly shit all day. Lucky for me, she had a jacket in the back that managed to cover most of the disaster I was calling clothing. I also let down my hair and removed the bracelets and arm-warmers.

>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
I own a few collars but being home schooled made me very shy and I never really wanted to stick out much so I never wear anything like that out. I wear them around my house alone, or maybe at a rave sometimes but that's it. I find them very sexy so wearing them out makes me uncomfortable.

>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
I used to style (again my stupid love hair my dad didn't want me to cut except my bangs) like Naru's from Love Hina (My first manga at the age of 12) but that's it.

I was kinda inspired by anime characters though, like watching a lot of Kuroshitsuji made me want to power clean my house and cook big fancy meals for my family, reading Hikaru no Go made me want to study, watching Dragon Ball made me positive like Goku. But like, I never RPd IRL or said, "Enjoy your food masters and madams." Dude that would be gay.

>>7024997

Do you still have your long hair

My friend got these homestuck tattoos while I was gone in Japan (backpacking).

Her roman catholic mom doesn't know about them, she's going to community college, and we left highschool....3 months ago?

I guess it's hard for me to accept that she has these permanently etched on her body, but she's happy with them and that's all that matters. The only thing I'm grateful for is the fact that the artist refused to do them on her chest like she originally wanted, so they're on her thigh/hip area that are covered by even short shorts.

>>7025710
I hope that is at least her actual fucking zodiac symbol.

>>7025710
Is her astrological sign cancer? Or someone she is very close to? If so, then she can get away with the one on the right, since that's what it is.
And the one on the left could be a simple vortex thing.
These are considering she starts to regret the tatoos and really needs an excuse to love them again.

>>7025710
The thing about the Homestuck symbols is that some are actually really cool. I'd probably get my zodiac done but ew imagine the Hamsteaks freaking out about it.

>>7025713
or does she like to 69?

Yes her sign is a cancer, coincidentally it's also her favorite character's sign as well.

I'm not sure where the spiral is from, I think it's Jade's? Or something.

I'm not a big fan of fandom/brand tattoos, but I do appreciate the fact that they are not totally obvious to homestuck.

Well, the good news is that you got the uniform pretty accurate. I mean, not all schools require we wear a tie which sucks because I really wanted to wear one in highschool but our uniform requirement was just a baggy old jumper with a polo shirt underneath.

>>7025727
Ahh UK and your different types of uniforms.
The thing is this was originally my outfit for my presentation on school uniforms

... also that tie cost me €60/£51/$80

>>7025684
>selfpost
>on cgl
nah man i'm good

>>7025739

>shirty

Uh, shirt*

>>7025735

omg, why would you ever pay that much for a tie!

The uniform of my old school in Scotland was really nice. Because it was a Scottish school you could wear a tartan tie and skirt with your ancestors clan colours (if you could find one) with just a plain, crisp white shirty and a blazer in Winter.

Do many schools in America have a uniform policy?

>>7025739
You what? Since when could we wear tartan ties at school? I take it you're in the highlands.
My school had the school tie (ours was various blues with a red stripe) and if you wore a skirt that wasn't black or grey you got sent home. Only prefects were allowed to wear blazers.

>>7025746

Nope, I was fairly close to the borders actually, in Langholm.

>>7025739
>Do many schools in America have a uniform policy?

I think a little less than half, depending on the type of school. I've gone to two schools that required uniforms. One was in the ghetto where I lived in second grade, the other was in sixth (not in the ghetto). It just depends on the people in charge, I guess. I like having uniforms, but when I mentioned that, my classmates would freak out, so it's not a common sentiment.
Our uniforms are just a solid colour, button-up shirt, of any sleeve length, are long as they're there, and navy/khaki pants, usually.

>>7025761
I'm just jealous now since I'm further north than you and never got to wear tartan (I'm the anon you're replying to).

>>7025765

Well to be honest, from what I could see whilst living there we were the only school within hundreds of miles that were allowed to do it. All the other schools nearby like Hawick all had the standard red tie/blue tie with white/gold stripes with a jumper and polo uniform.

You'd think more schools in Scotland would be doing it, I mean, you know how proud the Scottish are about their heritage haha

>>7023383
This is actually adorable, anon.

>>7025694
Somewhat, it is now down to my lower back now because I really hated sitting on my hair. That and people thinking it's cute to come up and pull it really hard, then just laugh when I look hurt and say "awww you're adorable"
I don't why but a lot of people did this... People I didn't even know like my mothers coworkers, relatives, friends. It hurts like a bitch, why would you do that?

>>7025769
I know right!
Actually, just remembered, we did wear tartan sashes when we went to Scottish Country dance festivals but that was only once a year for the first 3 years of primary.

Polite sage as I've just realised this is quite a tangent we've gone on.

>>7025814

This might sound weird, but are your initials by any chance R.N? It's just I think I have you on Facebook :)

I don't know many Scottish cosplayers or people who're interested in weeaboo stuff since I live in England now.. apart from that crazy Scottish cosplay society thing, the one where the people from it filmed themselves dancing on graves in Edinburgh...

>>7025737
Scared to get ripped apart by Seagulls? You could just pixelate / blacken your face. You wouldn't be the first one.

>just wanting to see some nice hime cuts

>>7025851
>>7025737

Yeah, just did what I did and draw a totemo kawaii face over your real face haha >>7023263

>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
Nope, but I did use one of my Naruto headbands as a belt one day in 6th grade. I would also wear my Naruto and Death Notes shirts publicly and still do (actually wearing one right now xD). In 7th and part of 8th I was invited into an anime club at the local library crowded with weaboos and there was some fat white chick in a really bad quality akatski cloak and an Asian boy who use to dress as a cowboy and had a squeaky voice.

>Be honest, fess up, who used to wear a cat bell or a collar casually?
Not casually, but I did from time to time.

>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
8th grade.. Mint from Tokyo Mew Mew. Everyone thought it was from Bleach though and would call me that persons name (can't remember at the moment)

>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
There was this fat Mexican guy in my sophomore English class. Short hair and glasses with a lazy eye that always drifted to the outer side so you never really knew what he was looking at.. He use to call me princess Kairi (KH) and would also call me Tsubaki (Soul Eater) and Shakira for some fucking reason I don't know. He was in love with me and managed to get my number from one of my friends in the same class. He would text me calling me beautiful and dressing me as "Hun" saying that if he was my boyfriend, he would do anything and everything for me. I told my boyfriend about it was was really sick at the thought because that same guy was trying to befriend him and was really annoying. This guy would copy lines from anime as if he came up with them himself and everyday would put on a persona of a different anime character.. one day in the computer lab I had asked to see his phone, ofc he said yes. I deleted my number so fast it was funny. He would get pissy and mellow dramatic when I would ignore him. Glad to finally have him out of my life

>>7025851
G3 is love <3

I used to do this thing with my hair every once in a while where I'd spike up the back of my hair and leave my bangs hanging over one side of my face because I was trying to look like Hizumi from D'espa or some J-Rocker or something and I thought it looked cool and then one day I did it during my senior year in high school and this one weeaboo girl came up to me and said "heeeeey your hair looks like Sasuke from Naruto!!!!!"

That was the last day I ever wore my hair like that.

Also one time in seventh grade I bought a naruto headband from target and wore it as a belt like Rock Lee.

>>7023308
I have these, I've only worn them out once and I got
>AYYYYYY LOOK AT THAT BITCH WEARIN' FUCKIN' KITTY EARS
yelled at me by a couple of white trash teens.

>>7025985
>an Asian boy who use to dress as a cowboy and had a squeaky voice.

Was his name Kenichi Smith?

>>7024708
Are you actually asking why a 10-year-old narutard weeaboo wouldn't use sharpie? When I was 10, I didn't even know what eyeliner was.

>>7026669
Probably Rawhide Kobayashi

I want to wear high pigtails to the bar. (like Harley Quinn or Lollipop Chainsaw bitch)
But feel like that would be a bad idea.

I'll admit, I have a hime cut. Most people I've seen with hime cuts look good, but I have seen some terrible ones as well.

>>7026683
Because it is a very, very bad idea.

>>7026683
>>7026692
Man, I wish pigtails weren't seen as a slutty thing.
I just want to run around in a suspender skirt and pigtails and embrace my inner loli.

>>7023907
that's seriously adorable

>>7026692
so tempted.
what would be the consequences of this action?
I can't tell if I will be made fun of horrifically or just raped or something

>>7026717
You'll just get laughed at mainly. It doesn't translate to real life very well. At all.

>>7026720
:/ Mannn.....
So sick of gettin laughed at....
well thanks gulls, you saved me from the embarassment

>>7026720
Unless you're an adoraburu asian girl. But then the possibility of sexual harassment rises as the mocking lowers.

>>7026728
What the fuck? There's nothing wrong with wearing pigtails. Just wear them really low down. If your hair is the right length it actually looks rather stylish. Don't wear them super high up unless you're asian, otherwise you just look like a smacked ass.
Why the fuck would anyone laugh at you? It's a normal hairsyle jesus christ

>>7026683
I feel like high pig tails look just too fetishy on me...just because I already look young for my age and putting my hair up like that makes me look even younger. With kawaii jfash outfits added to that, it'd be just way, way too much.

>>7023308
>tfw no qt korean gf

>>7026728
Man pigtails are cute. If you like it, do it.

If you do them so that they stick out the sides of your head, they're usually called Handlebars (not explaining why) and those are the slutty fetish ones.
If you put them a little further back, it looks good from any height.

>>7023308
I have these, I wore them and this guy walked past me and meowed.. Honestly, who cares what other people think, they're kawaii as fuck.

>>7026783
>>7026742
Okay. :3
Good advice.

>>7023308
>>7026813
I get meowed at so often when I wear these I don't even listen anymore.

Bit annoying when people think I dress so weird I'm a sort of public, walking freakshow and they are allowed to stare and touch and push and yell and try to make conversation when I'm QUITE obviously late/running somewhere. I don't even dress too weeaboo, I just happen to live in Brazil. On a big city, but still - huehue. And all of that considering that 1- brazilians love foreigners 2- I'm mistook for a foreigner almost everyday. Must be such a pain to actually look like you live here.

Sage for long, un-asked for, rant.

My friends and I actually managed to get "No cat ears" and "No capes" into our dress code at school. The cat ears part was because we wore them to protest the new uniform policy, the capes was because we threatened to make ones in school colors and wear them every day when they took out "Kawaiiiii nekomimi desu~" away. I also dressed up like Mana for heroes day freshmen year of high school. I mostly just used it as an excuse to wear ita clothes.

God we were disgusting.

>>7023308
Not those, but one time I wore a black version of pic related to my campus. You'd think it was the first time anyone saw a hairband with a bow-like knot at the top.

I was friends with this girl in one of my classes. She was super smart, but insanely obese. I'm talking 300+ pounds. And usually I'm not biased against overweight people, but I felt pretty put off by her when she mocked me for wearing "bunny ears." She was always super sensitive about her image too (like being paranoid that the 'skinny bitches' were talking shit about her when I'd drag her to the pool to swim) and I was just surprised that she'd openly mock someone else when she'd freak out at the slightest whisper.

>>7026898
If I can defend some of the people who are meowing, they might not be mocking you, but seeing a cat thing = meow
I know that whenever I see I cat, I meow at it, so I might slip up and meow at someone (trying to be friendly but I guess in a terrible way) with cat ears

>>7023308
I have the hairband in your picture. A lot of the time I have the same fear about looking like a raging weeb for wearing cat ears, but I try to tell myself I'm just being oversensitive because I'm already immersed in weeb culture.
I think it helps to put them together with an outfit that already has some kind of feline theme throughout, like leopard-print fabric or cat tattoo tights, so it doesn't look like you're just adding the ears randomly to be totally kawaii desu. picture related, I thought this was ok.

>Be me, 5th grade

I like it! The headband is simple and cute. It's a adorable touch your cat themed outfit.

>>7027086
Cute as fuck, would wear.
Or rater swap the skirt for a pair of harem pants and then wear but w/e.

>>7026679
thank you so much for posting this

Wore cat bell collar made of a cheap bell and a strip of velvet.
Wore black fingerless gloves religiously.
Wore cosworx ears to school (the ones with the bell on the ear nonetheless)
Wore parts of cosplays religiously
Had numerous amounts of anime drawings and printouts up in my locker

I grew out of it in college, sophomore year. Took me a bit, but I'm level now. My weeb lives only in small ways.

>>7027141
I also cut my hair like Sasuke's and tried to spike it in the back all the time during 6th grade.
I wore an Akatsuki cloak to my Elementary fair.

Dear god, I tried to forget these memories. It's.. just interesting to remember my weeb days now. I'm almost at the point where I can look back and laugh instead of cringe.

>>7024361
My boyfriend said I do the :3 randomly sometimes. I don't try to.. I'm just smiling at him! I have yet to see for myself and recreate it...
It's not hardcore and he thinks it cute; however, I do hope I'm not awfully looking after reading about your classmate!

>>7027141
>bitch ISS lady
your friend was the one who got in ISS in the first place

>>7024090
Of course they do, but that's also why they're more appropriate in the bedroom! If you have the neck for it.. Some girls DON'T.

>>7023116
There was a guy back in high school who came in one day with his long greasy hair covered in silver spray paint. Not the spray hair stuff, actual Krylon spray paint. He would only answer to Sephiroth that day.

>>7023089
>How many of you used to cosplay to school?
In 6th grade I went to the halloween dance as my 'original character' cat demon girl I created for the sole purpose of Yu Yu Hakusho fan fiction. Actually in 5th grade I used her in my book for my schools Young Authors thing they did every year, it was sort of a contest but everyone wrote a short story and put it in a bound book with their own drawings. We had groups where we read excepts out loud and I just... eeugh

Just for perspective, from 4th-7th grade I loved the shit out of Quizilla, especially its rampant you-fiction. (In 7th grade I hated anime but it was alll about Guns N Roses. Yeah I know, what the ever living fuck went on in my head back then is even a mystery to me)

Oh yeah and part of the costume was a velvet cat collar, that pointed down in the very front, with a plastic blue jewel glued on. Complete with white halloween store wig with two strips in the front color hair-sprayed black.

>Did you ever cut your hair to resemble an anime characters?
No but I soooo wanted to do OP's haircut in elementary school.
I had an angled bob, and dyed my hair a super coppery color early my senior year. Every week this girl I knew would come up to me, point, and say "hey it's Ramona Flowers!!!" like clockwork, although I had zero idea what Scott Pilgrim was at the time.

>>7027344

>Ever witnessed a classmate take it that little bit further to the point where they'd attempt to completely embody a character in every way?
In 5th grade, a new girl moved in, who was a full blown weeaboo at such a tender age. She loved YuGiOh and slave catgirls - the kind that tried to "please their master"- with a passion.

One day on the playground she was acting especially weird so me and my best friend physically dragged her into the guidance counselor's office, with her screeching "MOSHI MOSHI" the entire time. She moved away then came back in 8th grade, and wore Misa pigtails contantly and had a Deathnote messenger bag and wore terribad ita stuff from Hot Topic. She moved away again when she got in a fight and *bit* a senior cheerleader, who actually kicked her ass and had her in a headlock.

>>7023113
lol'd

>>7023896
Thank you for posting this! I bought one just after your post and I received it today. It's lovely!

>>7027363

Oh wow, I'm so glad I could help! Did you get the exact one I posted?

More of an emo/edgy phase than a weeaboo phase. I think this was just after I watched Cabaret for the first time. I'm the one on the table with the hat.

This would've been... year 10? So I was 14 - 15.

ok here we go. i'll admit, i was a GIANT weeaboo in middle school. but i never wore anything weebish in public thanks to being friends with the "popular girls", my mom and not liking to be stared at.
but this one girl, holy shit. now that i look back on it, she wore cosplay to school because she didn't want to be herself because of her shitty home life. but she would (and i have no idea how since our uniforms were strict):
>wear akatsuki jacket to school
>closet cosplay of ed from fma to school
>wear her hinata cosplay to school-which was held together by fucking staples (full except for her pants, which she wore uniform pants)
>cut her hair short like hinata and would use elmer's glue to style it. in her REAL hair.
>mall in full cosplay with her equally weebish friends
now she's a furry and you never see her out of suit. and she steals money (up to hundreds of dollars) from her handicapped father so she can go to cons. and we're both 21 now. i feel so bad for her since she's just getting worse.

>>7027050
Ohhhh man this happened to me once too. Except I regularly wear a bow headband thing from Urban Outfitters, it's nothing new for me. Some fat ghetto bitch was openly mocking me for it. I guess I had a mad bitch face or something on because she shut up. Plus it doesn't hurt that my friends came over and we just sat there and laughed at her.

I didn't wear anything really too Weeaboo other than the occasional anime shirt here and there.
I did, however, run with my arms straight behind me with my body low to the ground "like a ninja".

I played baseball. I ran bases like that.
I want to go back in time and punch myself in the face for that.

>>7027344
c-could you please post an excerpt from your story with your YYH OC?

I don't have any pic atm, but I painted cherry blossoms, dragons and kanjis on my jeans.

>>7028331
I just went through my closet and bins since I'm at my parents house, but no dice. Past me decided most of this stuff would be better off burned or shredded, went on delete fucking everything sprees, and so on. I kind of regret it because I had a comic version or two and I actually wasn't that awful at drawing.

But I found some of my more weeby childhood items to hopefully it's a good enough consolation. Bonus hair crimper because I thought it was funny

>>7024940
Wow you're really really cute. That haircut suits you very well.
Sage because I'm responding to a post from a while ago

>>7028397
that is the most kawaii dildo ever

I was not white/pale and had super curly hair that i had no idea what to do with so I never cosplayed. Also didn't buy anything other than a couple of manga here and there because my family was dirt poor. Was probably for the best, looking back on it, because I knew a few super weebs who did that shit and it was honestly just awful.

>cat collars
>leashes even
>tripp pants and skirts everywhere

had a few friends cosplay to school but they really weren't too bad.

>>7028397
Give me them YYH trading cards :I

>>7025138
ahahaaa I'm so glad I was homeschooled until high school
my weeb phase wasnt long, 10 to 13, but it makes me cringe in pain to look back myself spouting "baka" and "yaoi" every second
I wore one of those horrible Al Elric fleece hats and messenger bags absolutely everywhere for 3 years, wore a veil of bangs straight down my entire face to the point that I wouldn't ever see myself or let anyone see me for 4 years (probably just the depression/self hatred though), and had over 600 anime magazine clippings and wall scrolls covering my room

I was a really sad lonely kid

>>7027084
That's cute, to be honest, and I tend to do the same (never happened to people, though). But really, they say it mockingly, usually with a "what the fuck is that weirdo wearing" smirk on their faces.

>>7028353
>mfw i did that but with "uke" and "seme" and "yaoi love 4evah" and loveless characters kissing

>>7028632
>>7028353
I drew shitty anime on the back of my sister's awesome jacket (she was having people sign it before she graduated and I felt like being funny).
She doesn't wear it anymore and I don't blame her.

absolutely disgusting

I'm in the fandom, so trust that I've seen fucking horrible tattoos. Those aren't bad in the least, they're pretty cool. I might actually get a cancer symbol somewhere inconpicuous someday.

>>7025723
Yeah, the spiral (the Space symbol) is the symbol for Jade, Kanaya, Porrim, Calliope and Hussie if you want to include that.

I'd feel less ashamed if I wasn't 19-20 in this picture. I used to dress pretty ridiculously in general. I've toned myself down and I do feel a bit boring sometimes, but I think it's just because I've created a really awful basis for comparison.

>>7023089
There was a period of time where I looked like spock...
yahhhh.....

>>7028656
I'm so glad I didn't, but I almost stole my sister's favorite jacked and embroidered "I live for my little sister" on the back like Ayame did to his brother in Fruits Basket. I was in the 7th grade so there's no excuse for that shit.

>>7030370
That's pretty awful sis, those clothes look like they're no more than $5 worth of quality

>>7023089
You don't look asian, get over it weaboo.

>>7024609
I had to google what a half ponytail was. I didn't realize that was a name for it, I've just always referred to it/heard it referred to as pulling the sides back.

>>7025689
Dude... how does someone actually manage to pull off that ridiculous cowlick? Is she magic or something?

>>7035975
I do ahoges for cosplay and get something very close to that. All you do is put gel in your hair and then use a flat iron on the wet gel and curve the flat iron while pulling it up with the hair. Fries your hair, for sure, but it gets awesome results.

>>7035737
>did not read a single thing in the OP

>>7032198
not going to lie, that looks cute as fuck. Oh god, tell me you did the eyebrows too!

>>7036013
I meant that it actually looks almost natural in that picture and not super obviously anime related. I've seen the CCS kota vid so I know it's possible but, well, there's a very clear difference

I used to have hair down to my ass and I'd wear it in odango. But that was the extent of it. I'm old, though.

>>7036050
Haha nah I only have so much talent,
thanks for the complament though,
I liked it because I didn't have to blow dry it.

>>7036275
I have hair like this and I've been tempted to do that for years but I don't want to deal with the associations with Sailor Moon and such things. I sort of just want to say "fuck it" and do it anyway but seeing how often young rude weebs grab at my phone charms without asking me, I'd rather they didn't do it to something that's actually part of my body.
