Ugh what didn't I do as a weeb? Back when myspace was the place to hang my page was covered head to toe in ridiculous "OMGZ SO RANDOMZ XDXDXD" icon shit. I was "married" to my friend, my anime twu wuv changed every week I found a new show and I roleplayed as various oc's for hours. They were all obviously from Japan and had sad tragic backstories. I ran up my mothers phone bill ($200+ charges) by buying all those clothes and elementals and shit for your avatar on Gaia. Around the same time my parents went through a rough patch and separated which allowed me to develop my own uber tragic backstory and start dressing like the cool kids which meant going emo/scenester. I was totally edgy cutting my hair super short and listening to My Chemical Romance while teeheeing at teh yaoiz because omg boys having sex omg I'm reading something meant for the 18+ crowd!

My (now) friend and I have done email and have really liked doing so through face book because we know when each other has seen or is just taking their time writing... its really heaven compared, no more having to be late to a promised time and being able to do so with phones is just soooo convenient. As for starting, I have a few saved because I would type them up in word. Basically you're putting a character in a situation that would allow others to join. I enjoy the tavern setting because it allows for a lot of different characters to interact at first and wouldn't seem out of the norm for two different walks of life to meet.

Also, cross dressing as a boy on vampirefreaks so so girls could tell me how hawt I was and shit just because my females friends were doing it.

Lolita shoes (Mary Janes).

[Anon] also got something else she has wanted for ever so long...
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde.
It is thoroughly fun to read, because Oscar Wilde is way too gay for anyone to handle, and you can totally tell just by reading his work.

Yeah, I'm a closet weeb too. Never let it out into public past middle school because I started hanging out with normal people. It wasn't until I starting dating my husband that it became a thing for me again. But again, only in private.

>> No.7377863

I was always really shy, so even in my weeb phase in high school, I was never obnoxious and loud. I was still pretty weird, though.
I think I started drawing anime with pokemon and then digimon, I can't quite remember, but I did quite well, since I'd been drawing other types of cartoons already. My drawing caught the attention of people who liked anime. This one girl, though, I think she might have been a bad influence because I noticed my behavior changing little by little. Maybe I just admired her bold and outgoing behavior, as I thought it was back then. She was one of those weebs who would act like an obnoxious squeaky anime character. She'd whine and make cat sounds and she was aggressive and spoke random japanese. She'd push her yaoi onto me and it made me uncomfortable.
I picked up some of these habits, though. Not to the extreme she did. That just wasn't in my nature. But I did some really weebish things like wear cat ears to my afterschool club. I wasn't the only one doing it, though, but I'm still a little embarrassed. I guess my weeb phase was just a phase I went through where I thought my friends were interesting and i wanted to fit in. I also thought I was cool to shout japanese insults at people who I thought were picking on me, and doing that anime thing where you stick your tongue out and pull your eyelid down. That was pretty stupid. Also, I did the lol so random XD thing online, too.
Oh, those were dark times.
I'm pretty sure my nonweeb friends still talk about me and the embarrassing things I did in high school.

I was 13 when I drew this.

I'm incorrigible. I still have this OC and still use the nickname I share with this character (because she'll always be my kawaii catgirl fantasy self). But it feels really comforting and I try to keep this side of me on the downlow when dealing with people in real life. Close friends know and share some interests with me so I know they won't judge me, but I really don't want to be seen as an obnoxious snowflake by anyone else.

My husband also doesn't mind and even thinks it's kinda cute.

>>7379119
Most programs have quoted me about $3,000 a month, that's on top of free housing and flight reimbursement though, and considering rent prices in japan that's pretty dang good. If you are certified to teach ESL you can get higher wages, (It's oddly not required by a good chunk of schools... but its a good perk that gives you a step up in getting hired) and I've heard of some teachers also taking up tutoring for some extra dough.

It's by no means a job that will get you rich, but you get to live in an exotic country for decent pay plus free rent, and most other countries will only quote you about 1.5k to 2k a month and not offer help with housing.

Hong Kong and South Korea also are really good for ESL teaching. They pay about the same or higher than Japan and from what I hear also help with rent and hat not.

If you don't go through a program like JET for instance (the most popular choice) you have better say in where you get placed and can maybe negotiate a better salary. I'm not as much an expert in it as I want to be yet, I only recently made the decision to go for it and I still have like a year and a half till I'm done with uni.

>>7379190
A former classmate of mine at uni was paid $45k per year to work 25hr/wk at a private English school in Seoul, and he received a good stipend for housing/living expenses on top of that.
If JET wouldn't look so good on my resume/CV, I would apply to other places. I might still have to considering how competitive it is. Like you, however, I have another year of school before I have to worry.

>> No.7379503

>>7379468
Yeah I was nervous about the price quote because it does really depend on your school. I'm going to apply directly to the private schools hopefully, since they pay a lot more.

And yeah it goes up and down in competitiveness, I'm taking a year off before I go straight there so I can get as certified as I can to teach and do everything to give me an edge over the competition. Thankfully I've got a pretty good resume building up behind me.

I also really laugh when people tell me you don't need to know japanese. Like I've heard you can get by with out it but I'd rather air on the side of caution and learn it.

My current plan, if I can, is to teach for a bit in Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan since they all pay well and I don't do good being stuck in one country for too long.

I think the one thing I'm really concerned with is I wouldn't be able to go home for christmas or back to the states at all much. Their holidays and times off are so different, not to mention teachers are often expected to work on holidays over there. I still have a pretty strong attachment to where I grew up and I know its going to be hard moving so far away for so long.

I never understood this even in full weeb mode. I thought it was really weird that there were people who did that. Tumblr nonsense makes me cringe incredibly hard.

People mistake me for being a halfer(always Chinese Korean or Japanese. Though more often Korean) and it just kind of annoys me, even in my weeb phase when people asked I informed them I was quite white.

Literally get asked 2-10 times a year, even my chinese boyfriend I was at least 1/4. My ex's friends apparently made a bet with him that I was at least a little bit. I think they're just retarded and see pasty olive skin+round face+brown eyes+dark hair=AZN

I think the worst I got was some Korean kid pointing to his korean basketball shirt during some kind of conversation about it and saying "You know what I'm talking about" or this Chinese girl's relative ((during her birthday party)suddenly speaking to me in Chinese and then a giant OHHHH when she explained why I was confused.

Low self-esteem, feuding parents and an alcoholic dad. Seriously, it made me embarrassed to be their child and always made fun for not having a dad who's a lawyer or a doctor, as if I can help it.
So, being 14, I made shit up. Suddenly my dad was successful and I was happy for the time being. Then I moved away to college and away from them, so I didn't need the schtick anymore.

Really. People actually accuse those weebs of being the living embodiment of Satan for making up dumb shit no one should care about, but the answer is really that simple.

I confess that I fear I might be going crazy because I could have sworn there was a new ita/bad J-fashion thread up with posts in it, but there doesn't seem to be one actually up.

I'm half serious and half joking here. I'm thinking the janitor deleted it, although I'm not sure why, since the old ita thread is in auto sage.
But occasionally I space out so badly where I'm half asleep and half awake and I mistake something I imaged as something that happened.
Like for example, I'll be sleeping and my alarm goes off and I wake up and just lie there and imagine I turn off my alarm, but minutes later I'll go "what is that sound?" and realize that I actually didn't shut it off.

I have low self esteem and probably some mild form of social anxiety. I mostly got into cosplay and cosplay photography for the social aspect, to try to mingle with people in a social setting without spilling my spaghetti everywhere. When I first started, usually I'd limit my interactions with shittier cosplayers and mostly guys, because the thought of approach an attractive female cosplayer still terrified me to my very core. Nowadays I feel a lot more comfortable around people at conventions. It's still pretty obvious I'm trying not to spill my spaghetti, but it's a lot awful than it used to be.

It's a thing in diaper fetish circles mostly. Funny as a dare or something, too, I guess. A lot of people turn it into a game to see how long they can hold it before unloading into their diaper.

I mostly started the weaboo phase in late 7th grade because I liked this guy who liked Death Note. He dressed as Near almost every day at school. Eventually he noticed me and we became good friends, but then he suddenly started going out with this girl and I stopped liking him. I liked vocaloid, death note, shugo chara, bleach, and some other things I can't think of. I brought boxes of pocky to school once. I remember always wanting to go to this con but my parents never let me because I was too young.

I have friends (older than me) that dated in high school, then broke up during college, the guy even married another woman and they had a child, my friend had a long time relationship with another person. Then they just stumbled upon each other after years and did fall in love over again, they married each other last year.

I've always dated men older than me because I know what kind of relationship I want. I know the one I had was a really great one, we don't loved each other anymore so we broke, period. I had only a few other relationships, right, but I've friends that are my age and older than me, I listen to their story because I know their is no 'best way' to have a long lasting relation with someone and I want to know how people live it. And from what I've gathered, the only person that discribe relationships like the one I had are my way older, married friends.
It was so great I've actually trouble finding someone I get along with half as good as it was with my former boyfriend. I know I'll find someone one day, but my age doesn't lessen my capacity of having a mature relation with someone I love, period.

These are kawaii as fuck.

I wasn't a drawing weeb, I was a roleplay weeb. I saved all of the roleplays I've ever participated in, and they number more than 300. I keep them mostly to see how I've progressed with characters, comparing the ones I have now to my old mary sues. I also keep them for cringe factor because every one of them was a yaoi roleplay, and we would always move onto a new plot once our characters had sex in the current one.

I did all the other weeby things though. We would give each other nicknames. For each anime that we watched, we picked a character that we were and I was always the strongest, and wouldnt allow anyone to be stronger than me. For example, I was Lord Aizen from Bleach and no one could be Ichigo, and I was Giratina and no one could be a legendary Pokemon. I tried to be edgy and dark, always talking about horror movies, ghosts, and demons and shit.

I thank the Lord that I never went on 4chan during my weeb phase, and I never had a Gaia either. I was on Neopets, though, and made them my own Naruto squad. I also had a Deviantart where I posted my shitty writing since I couldnt draw.

a fucking pedophile. I'm smart enough to not do anything in real life, because damn that would be fucked up-I can seperate fantasy from reality, and I know the law. but doesn't help me from being attracted to them (age 10 minimum age, anything else is gross to me)

I found a square dancing skirt in a thrift store. It's perfect, black with a ruffle trim, soft black lace, but it came with this hideous blouse I cut up and made into a bow. I thought it was a lolita skirt that someone abandoned but the tag said Malco Modes.

I think this is more for /ic/, but since everybody is talking about their (weaboo) past, why not.

I'm not pretty confident for drawing atm. You can say its an art block, but I feel like no matter how much I show progress, my art still is unnoticed even for my close friends. I love to draw to myself and the few people that does notice it, but still feel its not enough and I really envy when someone does a quick sketch and gets hundred of comments and favs while a pretty ass watercolored pic of mine doesn't. I remember a topic about envy here, so I think I'll apply it too. (Pic related, the last pic I'm working in).

For the trees it was supposed to be on 30 minutes (speed painting purposed), but I saw it will take me a little more, so I dropped that and I'll put more details on the trees for sure. In general I spend 2-3 hours (traditionally) and 3-4 hours (digitally).

>> No.7388467

>>7388441
That's a shit amount of time for a finished digital piece, and even shittier with traditional media. If all you do is speed painting then slow down a bit.
Try to work out where the lights are coming from, and spend your time working and reworking the details, refining them as much as possible. Especially those trees.

Don't be afraid to use a reference to recreate the textures convincingly, mess around with brushes more, use bigger brushes, etc.

It would also be more appealing to the viewer if there was some composition, instead of just a flat background covered with the same color, and an interesting color palette (think saturation, values, all that color wheel nonsense that you can fuck with in digital)

Anyway that's my two cents, you can probably go to the /ic/ board on one of their stylization threads to get proper verbal abuse.

I started dating my husband at 17 as well. It's 16 years later now and we're still very much best friends and in love. I don't regret not dating more. Sage for off topic, just sharing.

This is hilarious, I'm white and I find white guys the least attractive too. It's pretty common, considering more of them act like >>7388927 than you'd expect.

Maybe it's just that where I live that there are so fucking many so I see uncute white guys everywhere I look.

I have wondered about that too. All my friends who come from a predominantly white area either prefer white guys or a man of color for exotic reasons (whut). Does the area you were raised somewhat affect your tastes? I would say so.

For myself, I am Asian and while I agree that there are attractive men in any race, I prefer white since I love Scandinavians or the brown hair, pale skin, blue eyes combo.

dark hair, pale skin, blue eyes are the most attractive white people ever.

I think it's probably normal to actually be chemically attracted to other races, dat delicious genetic diversity. Whereas it's probably socially easier to find people within your own racial group. My old housemate did teach me to distinguish between white chicks who date white guys cause they think they're cute, and people who date them because they're fucking racists though.

This. I have a soft spot for blue eyes dark hair or really pale blond hair and pale skin.

I'm flirting with this wonderful beauty these days. Blue-eyed, black long-hair, fit, pierced and tatooed perfect metalhead man. God I don't even know why does he seems interested in me. He really is top tier.

My worst cosplay was of a blue-skinned character. This was when I was first starting out and didn't know anything about more advanced makeup, so I just used cheap Halloween face paint and no sealer. Unfortunately, the lighting in my hotel bathroom was way different than just average lighting, and I didn't realize how dark the makeup looked - I looked like I was wearing blackface, and people kept glaring at me and I didn't realize why until I passed a mirror and screamed, I was so mortified. To top it off, my costume was ruined with little blue finger prints everywhere I touched. Lesson absolutely learned.

To the girl in Walla Walla Washington who I accidentally sent an orange peel to and who's dress got moldy, sorry.

>Terrified of getting bad feedback
>Pack it carefully using what I THINK are clean plastic walmart bags to keep it from getting messed up in shipping
>Turns out there is an orange peel in there
>Since item is still damp, arrives moldy
>FREAK OUT, Panic attack, handle badly, you can look for yourself
Basically I didn't know that paypal can refund money without overdrawing your bank account and you can just make payments on the amount. If I HAD known that I would have just refunded the money and worried about it later. But I'd never sold anything online before, and basically I was off the internet for over a year and came back to find the lolita comms a much bitchier snarkier place than I'd left them and I was pretty much sure that no matter what I did if I wasn't absolutely perfect as a seller that I'd get screwed over somehow.

Yeah, closing this thread now because I know I'll get an ocean of hate.

I finally snapped out of it once I was in 9th grade and joined the highschool anime club. I saw a lot of seniors, and the occasional visiting alumn, there acting like my friends and that woke us up to how embarrassing all of us were, so we started putting an effort to change so we didn't grow up like that.

Australia has a national firewall, and as long as you don't run into blocked sites a certain amount of times there's very little chance of police ever discovering what you're up to (they can't wiretap without probable cause). If you do get a message telling you a site is blocked, you're still not in trouble if you stop right there. A few times is considered an honest mistake, but do it many times and your ISP will tattle on you. When you know for a fact that even shota is being blocked, consider whether you're addicted to such a degree you're willing to pay for a speedy encrypted proxy.

BTW if it's your own personal AV suite/firewall saying a site is blocked, then it just means there's probably a virus at the other end. Apart from the heart attack it's nothing to worry about.

It's your fault for lack of communication with her, you could have just told her than you washed it and were air drying it for her, she would have probably been very happy. Also it doesn't take more than 5 seconds to actually look in the bag. This was definitely your fault because you seem really really stupid.

I browse /ic/, anon.. and I can tell you that your composition is way off. If you're really upset about quick sketches getting noticed, then why not do your own? Are you sure you're not suffering from turd polish..? Sometimes, it is better to practice a bunch of sketches and studies instead of making every single picture/painting/drawing/model/wtfever you do a damn huuuge event. Marry your hobby/skill/career, not your the drawing.

Nope but I'm not badly off either. I have a reasonable budget for my Lolita clothes, same as most people should.
You can dress well and at reasonable cost without replicas or Bodyline. It's just a bit more work.
I'm not the Bodyline hater but I know there are lots of them.
