/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Thanks cunt, my birthday is around the corner and this just makes me feel great

I hope nothing but stillborns come out of your womb

>>7393551
Uhhh

If you post something like this you realize everyone's gonna want the story behind it, right?

>>7393559
speak for yourself, i don't give a shit if they have a crap birthday

> want to cosplay character who has a bit of skimpy outfit
> show best friend and they laugh and tell me they don't want me to get molested
> start having second thoughts about the cosplay but I really like the character
> why cant I just be cute loli

>>7393561
I just want to know what's bad enough to make anon say
>I hope nothing but stillborns come out of your womb

That seems a little harsh.

>>7393559

There's no story she-who-womb-is-death, I'm the same as the dog in either pic

But I am not a dog

>>7393551
Someone got up on the wrong side of the cave this morning, didn't they?

>>7393551
Aw, I care about you, anon. Happy early birthday!

>>7393562
They probably thought you were too innocent for it, so you probably don't come off as sexual.

That or they want to bang.

>>7393562

It is that dragon girl from Fire Emblem Awakening?

I bet 10 bucks

Planning to complete one low-key but nice cosplay this year to wear to several cons. Ordered gorgeous Lolita fabric plus found out my clothing budget should be a bit bigger this year.
My comm is fun.
Have coordinates for both AP and Btssb tea parties 90% together. Cleaned up my diet and easily dropped a bit of weight I'd been holding.
Life is good

>finally following through with cutting meals down or skipping breakfast
>losing bulk from my overall frame
>geting more hourglass-y, belly sinking in
>last night found out otks no longer dig into my skin
>actually excited to work out today
>tfw getting fit for cosplay is actually working

>>7393551
Well, now you deserve a horrible birthday.

I don't feel like I have the face for cosplay. It's not a BAD face...it's quite nice on its own. The second I wear a wig though, it just looks like me wearing a wig, not kawaii character wearing a wig.

>started a lolita blog
>blog wont last a month
>no followers
>shit writing style and content quality

dem sad feels.

>>7393646
Keep at it, even if just for the writing practice and to document your Lolita experience, maybe?

>>7393651
i shall. not sure how to get blog exposure? i think EGL should have a monthly blog theme like lolita blog carnival does. it'll encourage other lolitas to start blogging, a chance to share blogs, and create more lolita content in general.

>want to cosplay shit
>have no time for it
> mfw i actually have a costume that's in progress
> haven't gotten back to the tailor to pick it up in a year
> fml

excuse me for not doing my own cosplays but thats how shit rolls here in this third world that aside, I was working on the wig that was going to go with the cosplay but I also stopped half way and the wig looks fucking horrible

>>7393576
You owe me 10 bucks then

>>7393670

I will never pay

You'll never find me

>see someone selling a dress I want
>too bad it's the JSK and not the OP
>shipping from... my hometown?
>there's another lolita at my tiny school
>holy shit
>too beta to say anything

>>7393653
Suggest it to the mods or just apply to join the Carnival when you meet the requirements. Idk about followers and exposure much because I blog more as a journal and don't seek out followers.

>>7393706
Does anyone have recommendations for blog layouts/know people who design them? I don't know why this is so hard for me anymore; I used to pimp out my myspace and neopets profiles like crazy but can't even make a decent looking blogspot anymore.

> I am not well.

>>7393796
when I moved in with him, I was NEET and he was working his ass off while I rolled around on the computer all day. and once he lost his job and I got one, he just sees me as a source of money, and any time I'm not working my in-home hours doing computer shit a waste of money.
he's even gone as far to help me with coding and such. so its just me that's being lazy.

I understand that me being lazy is an issue, but I wish we didn't get in a fight over it every single day. esp on days when my health is shit and I'm not doing anything because I really can't.
(woo health conditions)

I was hoping he would be celebrating with me, but when I looked over to him showing him the "bought" status on this purchase, he got really upset saying "I don't think we can afford this again""

please tell me you're joking.

and why the hell did you delete your tumblr. is this even real?

>>7393852
I deleted it because I started feeling like shit after getting wave upon wave of messages telling me to kill myself.

>>7393551
This is about the worst thing you can wish on a woman.

Think about how much most of /cgl/ wants kids but will never have anything even approaching a decent guy who wants to marry them.

>>7393830
Whaaat, where do you live where you can support two people on one salary while still being able to afford lolita? Both mine and my bf's paychecks get sucked up by rent, utilities, etc. bills and food and it takes months of saving for a dream dress because the extra is so little. God we need to move.

>tfw dropping qt3.14 bf off at the airport yesterday
I'm glad we've figured out who will move to where the other one lives (he wants to move here) but I wish it could happen sooner. Haven't had a proper long-term bf in nearly 4 years and I love him so much.

>>7393866
EU probably.
When we were po' students my husband and I lived off of student allowance no problem.

>>7393870
Where does he live?

>>7393862
>wants kids
>only wants to fuck decent guys who want to marry them
Well aren't you the fucking queen of England.

>>7393873

>>7393859
turn off anon? or if you were a /cgl/ at the time you could of invoked the cgl army lol.

bonus points in members of the cgl army are also black lol

>>7393866
no, I live in a semi-expensive city in murrica, but I just rent a room.

my country's slowly turning into Sweden and I don't like it.

>tfw you pay $440 a month for metro

I could buy at least 2 brand dresses a month with that kind of money.

>>7394002
Smart people just consume more deductible luxuries if the taxes stay high, it's not the rich that all these free services are gouging, it's the middle and upper middle class. Maybe they are tired of paying your way?

>>7394002
>my country's slowly turning into Sweden and I don't like it.

Your country is becoming an Islamic State?

>>7394028
No, a SJW haven and US 2.0
>>7394023
They went to the same college with the same system and back then they praised it. They also think immigrants are stealing tax money, so you get the picture.

>>7394002
>>"why don't we make these student allowances into loans so we make more money off of poor people?"
I come from a country that does that. It's a disaster, we are running low of professionals, specially in costly careers like medicine, so we import foreign people to fill those places. They leave and the cycle begins again. Not only that, there's no public education, so you can study only through loans that you must pay for at least 10 years. And since most positions are occupied by either rich incompetent kids or foreigners, you must break your back working on services.

>>7394002
This is exactly what happened in the UK in the 90s. Trust me when I say it can only go badly.

>>7394039
I thought Sweden's education was pretty good/cheap? Doesn't Pastelbat get money from the government just for going to school?
Fuck, my bf has 24k in student loans and went to an in-state school in the US. It's awful, and I feel bad buying lolita when he is kind of strapped for cash.

>>7394059
Most our schools are public and free, our education is among the best in the world and we have incredibly strict immigration laws set after Swedes got into the shit they're in. All of that is made possible by tax money and I know a lot of well-to-do people who willingly pay more than required to keep healthcare running smoothly and streets empty of beggars and pickpockets. Not only that, but corruption here is incredibly rare.

It wasn't always like this, we were poor as fuck back in the 80s, with an oversaturated job market and a massive inflation. There was a lack of food and we have a shit climate for growing anything so a lot of people went hungry.
Now some selfish fucks want to roll the whole country back into that state. It's sad.

Anyway, where are you from?

>>7394002
where your country is I want to go

Sweden too cold for my taste and Lebanon is getting danger because Syria bashar motherfucker is reason

I have cousin in Philadelphia in USA but USA is shittest country in entire world

we can hang out and be friends:-)

>>7394086
It is... for now.
i said that because their parliament is already considering turning them into loans and QQing about the immigrants. We only have one latent Neonazi party that does that, but for some reason this picked up and they're gonna have it up for discussion soon. I really hope it gets dismissed and people stop comparing our country to "filthy commies".

>>7394028
also btw it's not like Islam is not improvement to any Country in Europe & in The West

Islam is Religion of Peace & Love & Tolerance

>>7394088
>It wasn't always like this, we were poor as fuck back in the 80s, with an oversaturated job market and a massive inflation
>There was a lack of food and we have a shit climate for growing anything

Finland?
Pic related, my country.

>>7394100
Well, any country where religion and politics are mixed isn't a great country. All religions are very important from a historical aspect if nothing else (Islam especially, if it weren't for Arabs translating Galen's book from Latin it would have been lost - thanks to overly religious idiots, ironically) but you always have some idiot going tl;dr and taking it too far.

>>7394128
Well, Islam is the only religion that is above feminazis / libruls / the PC brigade, so it does kind of give Europe what they need.

>>7394117
Yep!

>>7394153
It's your fault for being so beta about it. Next time, don't wait and just tell her? If you are friends with her for a year she's going to assume you're not interested. Even a month is pushing it.

>>7394002
Fuuuuck you. For derailing the thread and being a total asshat. So happy that I moved to Sweden away from all Sannfinländare.

>>7394136
No. Just, no.

>>7394156
Go cry into your burqa, Pekka.

>>7394157
She doesn't like girls, anon. I knew I didn't have a chance, and I was just going to tell her to try and get over it (knowing I was gonna get rejected), but actually seeing her get into a relationship hurts.

It was gonna hurt no matter what though, I guess.

>>7394153
>We can always be friends!
You should try to move on and never look back.

C-can you suddenly become gay after years of never liking girls?

My cat died recently. He was young, only 7 years old. It may sound stupid, but I thought of him as something like my child. I loved him so much and it's like there's a hole in my heart.

The day he died I bought a Royal Kitten JSK on the comm sales. One of the cats on it looks like him, and I want to wear it so I never forget him. To me it'll be like a walking memorial to him.

This is an incredibly lame feel, I know. Just wanted to share.

>>7394166
>She doesn't like girls, anon. I knew I didn't have a chance
I kind of feel you. I (boy btw) used to like a lesbian girl. It was impossible, but in the end I got over it and we became good friends and watched our backs.

>>7394174
Daaaaww, anon, that's so sad.
I have a puppy I love just as much. He's a little Cavalier and the most adorable thing in the world.
I hope you get a new kitten and bond with it just as well! Your old one will be watching and be happy that you're letting another kitten have just as awesome a life as he had.

>>7394100
Hahahahaha
Oh you~

>>7394174
Not lame at all, I think it's really cool that there's something in your hobby that you can relate to him like that. Hope you love your dress when you get it, and best wishes.

>>7394204

it was a mutual agreement, for mostly distance related reasons. We're both cool with it for the most part.

>>7394204
Unrelated, but I love Mary Pickford.

>>7394197
Are you me, anon? I'm feeling all of that, the relying on one person for support because my other friends don't care, stressing over school, feeling stupid, buying things I shouldn't be as a stress relief. I don't know what else to say but shit sucks and I wish you the best of luck.

>>7394220
She was a qt.

>>7394233
Intelligence training?
If he's army he'll be going to Huachuca then, Arizona.
Last I heard the ait there was on lockdown yet again.
What MOS is he going in for?
I know all about 35T and 35F training if either of you had questions.

Oh, and BCT is just a couple months, it's not that long, it'll pass before you know it. Only two courses in intel are around a year long, and you'd be able to visit. Plus, he'd get christmas off, and as a student would be able to take leave pretty much whenever, or at least holidays, if his command is cool.
If it makes you feel better, there aren't many females in the tango and fox courses.

Source: I was in intel.

>>7394278
I appreciate it. I don't know very much about exactly what he's doing, though. The intelligence training for Linguist stuff is apparently in California. From what he was told, they rack up vacation time but can't spend any of it because of classes, which they said would be two years long.

>>7394287
>Linguist
Oh shit.
Well, if he fails to learn his randomly assigned language he'll be going to arizona.
We had a few would-be linguists.
Yeah, their classes are hardcore, don't know much about the female ratio over there, but I know they're in their own little compound.
Classes are fuckhard though.
You should be able to skype and call though.

>>7394309
That's good to know, although I still feel pretty awful. Thank you for your help.

>>7394233
sad?

>>7394327
I probably should have mentioned that I support his decisions and want him to have freedom with his life, so I'm not stopping him. I don't think it will break us up, but it hurts to think about.

If you're a guy then I wonder why they even bothered telling you that no dating thing. It was not like you were going to get some anyway.

Do it anyway fag. Plenty of ugly guys who crossplay for humorous effect. At least you won't look utterly disgusting.

>>7394153

just do it man

>>7394552
My city has cosplay group meet ups several times a year in addition to gatherings at conventions. Check your local costume group's FB, maybe?

>>7394174
i love this and every other anons reply to it
it will be ok

>>7394554
JoJo have a lot of characters that aren't "stoic huge guys".

Similar to this anon: >>7393562

>Group of friends who all match the characters perfectly are doing Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda group cosplay because of my suggestion.

>Am shy in real life and have never done anything like this cosplay before. (I usually stick to cosplays that are in armor or are covered up.)

Even with having the right body and looks for her, is this going to be too much? I'm feeling all sorts of anxiety about it.

>>7394604
i think this is alot more advisable for a private photoshoot than a conhall tbh

>>7394604
Natasha has other outfits if you really feel unsure about that costume. Her usual labcoat one is still skimpy but it's less naked. She recently now has a school uniform look.

>>7394257

Agh, I'm so sorry (sorry meaning empathetic sorry) you have to go through this as well. I've been near tears myself every day lately - the stress just restarted last week when I got new subjects. My thoughts are with you - hopefully we can both get through this and things will get better in the long run.

>tfw no gf who will cosplay as your waifu and other cute characters for you
They all just want sugar daddies. Shit sucks.

>>7394640
>>7394257
>>7394197
Glad/sad we're all in the same boat.
I've cried almost every day for the last week due to school/family stress and a pretty bad bout of depression. I feel like nothing's going right.

I don't know your story, but fuck that noise.

>>7394664
Why did you "date" him in the first place? Are you extremely ugly / obese?

Also what the fuck that .gif

what the fuck

the fuck

>>7394616
>>7394631
Problem is it's too late to back out of the group without making people upset, specially since I'm the one who suggested the series. I considered doing lab coat natasha but since everyone's doing the Zveda outfits it might be weird (Plus I like that the mask hides my identity lol.),

I was thinking of fixing it up to be a tad more modest for conhalls though, like wearing her bra, closing the cloak a bit more, etc. Even considering wearing a nude zetai suit without the head mask for cons. Thanks for the feedback as an fyi it really helps.

I need some advice /cgl/
So after the longest time of being broke ass students my BF finally gets a real job making real money and he really wants a new motorcycle (its his only form of transport to his new job). He is saving up for it and its not exactly slow going...

Fast forward a few months and im still a broke ass student until i get offered a job in a strip club. Being a stripper is actually pretty great and in only a week or so the money is rolling in... in only one night i make enough for two brand new dresses and shipping, in 3 and 1/2 nights i have made well over $1000 I haven't actually spent any of the cash yet but i sure would like to...

But before i get the chance to even think about spending any of it my BF drops the bomb that he would like to borrow ALL of it to buy his new bike. Im not all that happy about this as i have been broke forever and it feels really nice to have cash... id be more than willing to lend him some of it, even half of it or more but waving good bye to all the money in one go seems kinda sucky?

What does /cgl/ think? Am i being too stingy, i would have happily bought him stuff for the bike... but i just don't really want to give over all my money?

>>7394664
WTF is that gif even?

>>7394757
He has a real job; why does he need your money? You're not being stingy at all.

>>7394757
I'm surprised your boyfriend would still stay with you after becoming a stripper. Maybe he's just in it for the money, because I sure as hell wouldn't wanna date a slut.

>>7393551
No wonder you're alone.

>>7394711
I think with the headless zentai it would be find for your own issues and public skimpiness issues. A good solution.

>>7394173
I wouldn't put it that way, but yeah. Why is it such a big deal to like a different sex than you used to?
Its like freaking out over liking a blonde when you only dated brunettes before.
>Just the opinion of a mostly lesbian who used to like dudes

>>7394764
Thanks anon, thats kinda how i feel about the whole thing? Im likely being too beta.
>>7394771
He actually kinda enjoys the fact that other people have to spend money to spend time with me, also i don't fuck people: i just dance.

>>7394450
Your parents sound like douchebags. If my parents ever pressure me like that I would be super pissed off. I'll marry whenever I want and I don't want to squeeze some screaming lump of smelly flesh out my vagina which will take all my money.

>TFW when your qt3.14 cosupray gf breaks up with you after a con

>>7394604
You could wear a black sports bra and small, spandex shorts for a con, and then go full panties for a shoot. Also make the hand-tails cover you up a bit more or something. The mask and cape make the whole outfit less scandalous than it could be.

Well, altought I recognize there are major tendecies to one sex, I like to think humans are simply -sexual-. Some people develope romantic feelings for a sex that doesn't fit their specific sexuality; doesn't necesarily means you've become gay, you just fell for a person and that person happens to be a boy...To quote a bisexual character in Martin Hache (movie): I don't make love with bodies, but with minds, therefore I can be attracted to a woman as much as a man. Idk, I'm just trying to answer your question.

Seriously though, these people fucking suck. Guy tries to order two sides with a meal for the same price, tell him no, "You must be new here, lady." Guy orders a meal, I ask him what he wants to drink, "whoa, hold on, you didn't ask what I wanted for my side or nothin'." Unless someone specifies we just go with fries by default, that's the rule, and it's not like I would need to ask in some specific order or anything, but whatever, dickwad. I ask him what he wants. "Fries."

I just get myself rustled pretty easily since starting this job. But life. But cosplay.

No, no you can't.

There's three types of lesbians:

a) Bulldyke lesbians. The kind that probably actually wants women. Would probably have been born as a male if it weren't for some accident.

b) Attractive "lesbians". They are not actual lesbians, maybe bi-curious at best - so sexually active that they got bored of being the fuck toy to men, so they want to try something new. If they do it with a woman, they only will do it with one who also belongs in this group of fakes. They are fake lesbians mostly because they are still attracted to men and will fuck the occassional Alpha every now and then. Basically, for them saying you're a lesbian is an automatic friendzone / refusal of the ugly Beta males. Plus, it's used to reap the benefits of being "oppressed" and/or as a career move. As a very fresh example, see Ellen Page. She has had sex with more men than the entire male populace of 4chan had with women. But now she's a "lesbian". Oh and right after she announces it there's also news about a movie where she gets fingered by Julianne Moore. What a coincidence!

c) Fugly lesbians. Had to go with it because they couldn't get any better. The female equivalent to the typical "gay poster" on 4chan (normal guys who were too ugly to get the girls; real gays have "the gay face" at least).

Before someone starts calling me names and shit because they can't handle the truth and redirects me to >>>/r9k/ or something like that, I'll have you know that I am actually a girl myself and I've been a /cgl/ regular probably about thrice to 10 times as longer as you.

What if we have the government take your money to give it to people who aren't useless to the human species?

>>7394787
It is a big deal because real homosexuality is genetic

If you "like a different sex now because XD" then you're the problem with modern society

>worry that I'm the only one in my comm that smokes weed and don't want to make things weird by bringing it up

>>7395120
anon, I would totally smoke a bowl with you in my burando.

>>7395120
It isn't relative to liking the fashion so don't bring it up at meets. If you become friends with some comm members sure bring it up casually. My friend smokes weed but she leaves it out the comm and just smokes with her stoner friends

>>7395128
That makes sense. It seems kind of inappropriate to bring up at meetups so I never have. All of the girls in my comm live about 2 hours away anyway, so I guess it's whatever.

>>7395121
This. That's why real gays have the gay face (it's actually a thing) that the cute & cool oldfag femanon above was talking about (I want to marry her).

>>7395112
Are you a time traveller from 2008?

>>7395120
>>worry that I'm the only one in my comm that smokes weed and don't want to make things weird by bringing it up

Sounds like a cool thing to do. Of course that depends on how open your mates are. If they are christian fundamentalist puritan type, then no.

>>7395141
We live in a relatively rural area, but in my town its a very open thing. I don't want to encroach and be like "..hey, you guys smoke weed?" and sound like a total creep to them, as another of my worries is that secretly the girls in my comm think I'm weird. Bringing edibles to a tea meetup would be cool, but that seems to be asking for trouble, haha.

>>7395143
I think that study was geared exclusively towards gay and straight men. So it's not really comparable to women. Also, there are plenty of flaws in the study that weaken the argument.

Though there are studies that suggest that gay women have a different scent/pheromone. Another one suggests finger length may be tied to sexuality in women (make the joke yourself).

That being said, none of these things are markers of a 'real' homosexual.There are plenty of people without all or any of these traits that are genuinely gay/bisexual/what have you.

In other words, stop being a whiny little bitch and let other people live their lives.

Also, if you want to marry the 'old fag anon', which of the three lesbians does that make you?

>>7395175
Nice try, but I'm a guy. I always wanted to have a gf who doesn't afraid of anything, like her.

I'm sick and tired of the the fact that 99% of women are PC, librul, feminist and always decide based on their emotions.

>>7394174
I think it's really great that you have something to remember him by, and that even though he was really young, I'm sure he had a great life because you loved him and took care of him.

>>7395115
Yeah, because we all know that the world needs even more people. It's not like overpopulation is a problem, right?

>>7395121
>because XD
I like people because I am attracted to them, not because XD
Not saying that there aren't people who are just attentionwhoring. Maybe I was just confused when I liked boys when I was a middle schooler.

Well then you aren't gay, you're bisexual with a preference for women.

>>7394787
It's a big deal because it can't happen.

>>7395674
This, actual gay people are born gay. You can't suddenly be infected with the gay virus, miraculously change teams, pray the gay away or just choose to date men over women. It doesn't work like that. If you like women TOO, that's another story, but you can't be gay after 20 years of chasing dick, what did they teach you in school jesus christ.

>>7394174
That's not a lame feel at all, anon. I'm tearing up.

last one doesn't sound like bullying, though.

tfw you're not in love with your bf, but can't bring yourself to break up. we've been together for five years, and he barely have any friends expect me and a few mutual ones we have. i don't want him to be all alone. but also, he's moving abroad in July, so maybe I just ought to wait and then let it end naturally. Idk man, just hate myself for being beta and emotional

>>7395822
You mean you don't love him? Being in love literally ends after 4 or so months of being together. It's not the same thing.
And don't feel bad for being emotional, it's a good thing. I'm sickened by all these edgy teens thinking it's so cool to be a sarcastic asshole with no empathy.

>>7395815
Last one was more my social anxiety.

>someone cosplays as your waifu

I hate these fucking feels mang. If ever see her again, would it be weird if I confessed that I had a huge crush on her? Or would that be crossing into weeaboo creeper horror story territory?

>>7395827
oh, I guess you're right. I can't even bring myself to write it out properly.

This is so untrue. The high and honeymoon love ends after 2-4 months but, not love itself..

>>7395830
As you said, she won't be like the character. But hey, she likes the same anime as you do? If you were to see her, maybe just say that you adored her cosplay, and idk, that she's cute. Ask her out for coffee in a non-creepy way?

>>7394173
... No. Either it's there, or it's not. You could later in life discover that it's there, but you don't just wake up gay one day.

>tfw you eat a whole box of Chinese food fried chicken by yourself in one sitting

Buy oatmeal and healthy stuff instead is what I meant. You won't gorge on a box of fried chicken if it isn't there!

>>7395286
>Nobody delivered.

My rat is getting really old, about 2 years now, and starting to slow down. I know it's not gonna be long before she goes.
My other rat went a few months a go, and I was pretty sad about her but I was able to deal, but this rat's different. I got her not long after I moved here, and I had moved across the country so I didn't have any friends or family here. She's very adventurous and friendly and she'll just follow me around, she comes when called, etc. (The other rat wasn't nearly as adventurous.)
A rat following you around on your walk is a pretty good conversation starter and I probably wouldn't have made any of the wonderful friends I've made here without her, among those being a big group of cosplay buddies.
I knew when I got my rats that they were going to live a couple years tops, and with my other rats I've been prepared for that, but with her it's different. I'd probably still be very alone if I never got her.
This weekend a couple of my cosplay friends and I are gonna go take her to her favorite park to run around and climb the trees one last time.
I'm going to miss her so much.

I'm always scared I look fat. I know I'm not really a fatty-chan (I just have huge tits), but when I get dressed in Lolita or Cosplay I'm always kinda scared what people think. It doesn't help I don't really take photos well.

I'm exercising to try and calm my mind, but idk. I'm just in the dumps about body image I guess.

>>7396093
Anon, I know how tough it is. My rat lived 3 years and died last summer. She was my best friend. As long as you keep her memory alive and know you provided nothing but love for her , that will help you not be as sad. I still cry from time to time, but I'm happy to see another person who also has an affection for rats. They're amazing pets and great companions.

I hate the I'm not photogenic in the least. I like how I look in videos, and people do compliment my looks fairly often, but I look like ass in pretty much every photo. This makes me so self-conscious about cosplaying and having my picture taken, and feeling bad about it just makes me tense up and look even more awkward. Fuck. I'm starting to learn my angles better, but I still don't think I look good in photos at all, and that really sucks.

>>7396097
>great companions
Not them but I totally agree, after all the pets I've had my rat Pinky was truly my best friend and I'll never forget him. It's nice to see more people here who've had awesome rats, somewhere out there they're trying to take over the world.
Never forget.

So now I have to pay not only for the dress but taxes for fucking shipping costs even though I can proof I did not lie about them, they just count to the value of the dress even though this does not make any fucking sense at all. I hate this country so much sometimes

>>7394257
>because my other friends don't care
I feel you.
I just gave up on a friend. She's straight up said before that she doesn't want to hear me talking about my depression. She can't handle it.
>tfw suicidal at 4am and no one to talk to
She doesn't really have me on priority. I shouldn't be upset about that, since she's a really busy person, and it's fine for your friends to have other friends. But it just hurts when weeks and sometimes months go by, I hear about her spending time with her other friends twice a week, and I never hear anything from her.
It's okay to be busy, but is it too much to ask for a text every so often that asks how I'm doing? I'm always the one who initiates an invitation, and she's often busy with legitimate things.She's got a lot going on and I get that, but I still get lonely. I only have one other friend besides her.

If I was reading this, it'd sound like she was someone who just wasn't interested. But when we do spend time together, she's always gushing about how much she likes me and she always speaks highly of me when someone brings me up in other conversations (or so I've heard).

Maybe it's her ADD? Maybe she just has the habit of "Oh, I have free time. Better call up this friend and that friend." Since they are closer to her, one has known her since they were kids.

I've always thought of her as very nice and I don't think she's trying to do anything to spite me. I'm just tired of waiting. I'm tired of being forgotten.

>>7396250
Same. I guess it's the fact that I KNOW I'm gonna look like an autistic hunchback so I start to expect it and become uncomfortable in front of the camera, and it shows.
The only time I look okayish is when my bf takes candids and even then my jew nose ruins it and my lips do a disappearing act. The only kind of lighting flattering on me is a dark room.

>notice how my tights slip down my hips
What's going on here with the construction of the tights/your body that makes this happen? This has never happened to me and I've noticed some tights retailers that advertise how they don't slip down.
The most I've gotten is the crotch getting a little baggy, but nothing noticeable or uncomfortable, and certainly never with the waist band going over my butt. And that only happens to me on tights that have an inseam that's a little too short.
Is it an inseam problem? If it's really super short is that what makes it come down?

>>7395192
nice b8 m8

>>7396320
May I ask what this fantasy was?

>>7396314
I'm very tall and skinny so most of the tights I buy in small sizes will be too short, so I have to buy bigger ones instead. They usually end up being a bit loose around the waist area but I never had problems with them sliding down as well. Well until this thing happened. Now I always wear bloomers over my tights, as a preventive measure.

>>7396320
Aw I'm sure it's not that bad. What's your cosplay fantasy?

>>7396327
>>7396330
Just you know, her going to cons with me as different characters i like and her well, getting a little friendly with others. I may take pictures or something too. I don't even have to go with her and she can tell me about it later, or even text or call while she's there. It could even be just her going out with other guys and cosplaying for them as their favorite character. It's a weird jealously thing, my enjoyment comes from her taboo enjoyment i guess.

>>7395192
>I'm sick and tired of the the fact that 99% of women are PC, librul, feminist and always decide based on their emotions.

then fuck dudes?

>>7396332
Ah ok, not sure really what her reaction was about. Personally it's not something I would want to do, and it wouldn't be easy to have it fulfilled but I mean she sounds a little immature unless you worded it badly or tried to force her into it. She could have said 'nah it's not something I'd want to do'

>>7396335
Someone like this sounds like they're never had real human contact.

>>7396335

You say this in the very thread where /cgl/ points out that you cannot just become homosexual.

Plus, 99% of gays are just like that.

>>7396342
I wouldn't have even bothered if she had said that but i guess she was mostly closed minded and stubborn was hoping she could do a tsundere character. Plus she only liked anime and games a bit.

Tbh I'm sick of hearing people saying "well I have a life too, I have a right to my own time, it's not my job to listen to your problems" and people who call those that need help whiny and tell them to 'suck it up'. My own dad was like this, and he was a nasty piece of kike shit that sued his own daughter for alimony money.
I don't understand how someone can be so selfish to say "well it's not my business so I don't care" and then qq when they have some inconvenience happen to them.
Sorry to hear about your depression, anon. I never had anything major myself so I can't relate, but you can call a crisis hotline if you need someone to talk to. I hope you recover, young adult years are known for being depressing, but it'll get better.

>>7396320
>>7396332
I personally have no problem with the whole cuckold deal. Maybe they thought you were trying to do a "if you sleep around then I can sleep around" thing? Or maybe they're really into monogamy, and think that you wanting other dudes to bang her meant that you didn't care about your relationship.

Think of the crazy cheater girls, right? The ones who do it just to make their boyfriend jealous? Since when their boyfriend is jealous they think that means their boyfriend must love them.
Maybe they think that you aren't really feeling jealous about it, even if you say you'd be, since you're asking them to do it.

Maybe they really like it when guys are possessive and protective and are disappointed when you (seemingly) aren't doing that. Maybe they think about how angry and jealous they'd be if you slept around, and are mad that you "don't have" that same feeling with them.

I think if you were ever going to try to find a girl who was into cuckolding, you shouldn't start off with talking about cuckolding. Talk about polyamory first. Don't even say "I'm interested in polyamory" because some girls will take that to mean "He wants to fuck other girls and is going to cheat." Chat about other people in polyamorous relationships. Find a positive article or a blog post, say "Hey I just read this. It's interesting how many different ways people decide to go about things!" Keep it neutral and be just mildly interested in a "Huh, look at that" kind of way. See how she reacts to it. If it's positive or neutral, you could talk more about it. If she's negative ("How could anyone ever do that!") let it go.

Maybe do the same thing with masochism? Since if they can grasp the concept of masochism, maybe they can understand that you'd LIKE the jealousy you'd feel and be able to better believe that you actually feel the jealousy.

More studies confirmed that that's a fat myth and women aren't more 'susceptible' to being bi-curious, bisexual or gay than men, they're just more open about it.

>>7396367
Good on you, anon. I hope you don't get flack for it too much, I have friends who are loaded with cash and the shit they get told is disgusting, I guess thanks to that myth that rich people = eeeevilll.

>>7396314
I'm not sure why that happens, but I have a a few pairs of tights that do that all the time.

>>7396332
Damn, I'd be okay with it. I'm just a fan of honesty and it doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. Where do you live, anon?

>>7396385
It's probably because of social conditioning....
Being bi or a lesbian woman is more acceptable in a male dominated society. Seriously, there isn't as much of a huge stigma like gay men. It's all kind of bullshit.

>>7396400
Yeah, exactly.
The result of the study summed up:
Both women and men are equally gay, men are just taught that it's shameful and unmanly and sick. Women aren't because it's 'hot', so women don't feel as much pressure to refrain from experimenting. So women aren't "naturally bi" or anything, men are just closet faggots.
Pardon my French and everything.

>>7396397
Good old bongland.

>>7396373
Well, it's less "It's not my own business so I don't care" and more "I empathy so hard that I emotionally cannot handle it."
I haven't told many people about my suicidal ideation. It came up a while ago when I had more friends. I got way too high and was really giddy and smiled at one of my friends saying, "If I hadn't met you guys, I'd probably have killed myself by now! I love you guys so much." This friend whipped her head around at me, started bawling, threw her arms around me and started crying about "No! Don't ever kill yourself! No no nono Don't!" I had to hold her until she calmed down.
I chalked it up to the fact that she was also incredibly high and didn't seem to process that I was talking about how I had found a reason to live.

A year or two later, I didn't have any of those other friends anymore, and those thoughts had come back. I asked her, "Remember that night? When you were crying? Was that a "I'm really high thing" or...? Would you ever feel comfortable talking about those types of things?" Her eyes already started welling up. She kind of circled around saying that it's a lot to handle and she's not very good at dealing with it. I can't remember how she said it, but it was certainly polite and emphasized how much she cared.

I'm glad she was honest, cause I wouldn't want to get stuck in a situation like pic related. It's no fun comforting someone else about the thing that you needed comfort for.

>>7396411
Oh crap, I went through a similar thing myself! Lost about 6 of my best friends (we were in a big group) and ended up alone wrecked with anxiety and popping xanax every day.
It's a very sad thing indeed, when they seem almost like family and then you feel like a fool for ever saying you care for them.
I hope you get a bunch of new friends that'll stick around!

I am mighty perturbed right now.

Oh, also I don't think I'd ever call a hotline. What I'd need is someone who knew me telling me about my worth as a person, how I'm capable by bringing up past achievements and reminding me of old dreams I had about the future and how exciting that would be.
I'd know that the person on the other line was just saying what they normally say. The only personal thing they could do is guilt me about my friends and family. I know that there are people out there who would cry over me. Doesn't mean they're doing much now. It kind of sucks to feel dead-walking and without a reasonable way to get out of it. I get that losing a friend, a daughter, a sister to suicide is something you never really recover from. So that means I just kind of keep living this half-life until I keel over naturally.
Hotlines seem more of a last resort to stop people from taking their lives that moment, whatever the cost. Adding more guilt to the person is preferable to them dead, so that's what they do.
I want to be able to wake up in the morning, actually take a shower, appreciate the sunshine, eat a proper meal, enjoy the good parts of my day and be determined through the bad parts, have a nice evening with actual hobbies, and get a good night's rest. They can't give me that with one phone conversation.

I've been in treatment for 2-4 years now, off and on, trying different things. We'll see how the most recent experiment goes.

>>7396416
I hope the same for you! Good luck out there.

>>7396433
I'm jelly. How long have you two been together?

>>7396439
A year. I'm conflicted between feeling very uncomfortable about it and feeling like a massive dick because I've mentioned to him multiple times about how I find most aspects of dd/lg unpleasant.

>>7396448
Any good BDSMer knows that when your partner is vanilla, there isn't anything you can do to turn them kinky. If he is any sort of sane person, this sexual preference isn't going to make him rape you or something. If he does anything freaky, that's all him. He'll probably let it go, especially considering he hasn't even brought it up in the past year, since he knows your opinion on it.

Ageplay is a weird thing. When looking at it in a literal setting, the combination of pedophilia and incest is downright disgusting.

Maybe it'd help if you thought about the separation between sexual fantasies and his opinions on reality? A weird example: I like some sex-in-public porn. But I can only enjoy it if I can kind of tell that it's staged. If it feels too real or if I know it's real, it makes me really uncomfortable for everyone involved. If it's staged, I know everyone wants to be there and is probably enjoying themselves.

Some people like ageplay for the caring aspect of it. I heard in another thread from an ageplayer that the community is trying to make 'caregiver' more common rather than using 'Daddy' or 'Mommy'.
The idea of having something that's small that you need to take care of, protect, and looks up to you is a very warm feeling to have. The parent/child role is more of an overly simplified way to describe the idea of this kind of interaction between two people. Maybe your boyfriend wants you to call him 'Daddy' because for him, that means you look up to him, trust him, love him unconditionally, respect him, and know that he'll always be there to take care of you.

Maybe he likes to go more the dominant control side, 'bad girl', that sort of thing. Which is a rush of power, but the best part is knowing how much your submissive trusts you. And any good dom would know how important it is to keep that trust, and would never break it. Maybe this kind of goes back into that 'if it's staged it's enjoyable' thing?

I hope things go well for you two.

>>7396477
I am actually into a fair amount of BDSM-related stuff, it's just that that particular kink just rubs me the wrong way a bit, I guess. The caring side of it I totally understand because that's kind of how we are anyway, but I just... couldn't be a little. I'd feel wrong.

I just hope I haven't made him feel like too much of a dick, ahahah.

>>7396433
>ageplay
I'd literally drop him with the speed of light if I were you. Fucking pathetic. That's even worse than coming out as a brony.

>>7396325
aaand checking back on it forgot image

>tfw 4chan wont let me delete my post and start over because "its too old"

>>7396504
>worse than coming out as a brony
no, I have way more respect for ageplayers, but after

>when we first met he "jokingly" said I could call him Daddy if I liked
>it wasn't a joke
>IT WASN'T A JOKE
I'd dump him, because that means when he started talking to you, his creepy intents were clear. thats the only reason he kept talking to you, because he thought you were in fetishwear, and were perfect for his fetishes

despite how much I cared about my BF, I'd feel mighty unsettled and this would leave me to break up with him.

>>7396502
Because everyone wants others to do their dirty work for them. It always works out like that when people decide to gang up against someone, there's always a few that go "well shucks I ain't done nothin', look at me I'm a good girl! :3" and gets out smelling like a bed of roses while everyone else is called a cocksucking buttstabber and has their burando torn up.

>>7396326
>guys liking girls that are different must be b8

>>7396512
this is the reason why I seriously look at the "lolcows" who don't have much evidence against them and think they are good people.
what did they do? speak up against something wrong?
you KNOW someone that had an issue with that posted them there, and the rest blindly follow with a hunger for drama.

its horrible.
reminds me of when I was a kid and I proposed a boys vs girls snowball fight, and all the girls were cheering, and when I went outside, I was the only girl there, and instead of snowballs, they threw hunks of ice. and despite me being bruised up with a bloody nose, my fellow female classmates all looked at me, without saying a word. its like living an adult version of that.

>>7395192

You should come to my old town. Around 80% are crazy christian conservatives who think dinosaurs lived with Adam and Eve and a woman's rightful place is in the kitchen. They're different at least.

>>7396496
You are into a fair amount of BDSM and you didn't snap to the ageplay aspect when he said you can call him Daddy? I'm not sure how you didn't get it and just say something at the time.

>going out to play vidya with boyfriend's guy friends
>in a good mood that day, decide to wear casual lolita

>give him the death glare
>"I'm dating you, I'm not trying to impress your fucking friends, lolita is goddamn dick repellent to most guys, I'm just trying to wear what I like."

>>7396323
I wear dance trunks over my tights. Even with a tight skirt it gives a smooth line. I hate creeping tights!

>>7396598
He's insecure and thinks his friends are going to hit on you/you're going to hit on his friends, so he's trying to dissuade you by putting you down. He sounds like a bit of a prick to be honest.

>>7396598
Dump him he sounds like an arsehole, you can dress however you want, does he get annoyed every time you happen to wear a skirt or dress when seeing his friends together who are male?

>>7396598
Honey..
You need to have a talk with this boy, he sounds like no good.

>>7396325
It sounds like they threw you under the bus to get rid of you, honestly. Did they stay in the comm like nothing happened afterwards and never say anything?

>>7396559
Likewise, it's just sad that a lot of people will trust rumors over evidence just because it's fun to hate and they don't care.

>>7396559
I hate that so much, it always happened to me. They were always the ones who stirred shit up themselves and shit talked like champions but when it was time to be honest with the opposite side they would stand aside and pretend to be nice caring people. Some would even gasp and go "oh my god anon, what are you saying! We never said that!" acting dumb.

>>7396622
no, they left, as well as at least 15 others.
so I did something at least.
>>7396634
>"oh my god anon, what are you saying! We never said that!" acting dumb.
oh yeah, I got this too.

>>7396598
Are you that same girl that was talking about her racist boyfriend a while back?

>>7396314
This was never an issue for me until i bought a pair of really nice, very pretty, tights from a taobao reseller. The waist just kinda stopped being elastic after like one wear? Suddenly they were slipping down like no ones clue and i had to duck into public bathrooms all the time to pull the fuckers up. I still wore the tights until recently but i, like the other anon, just wore them with bloomers.

I feel like there is no way to win over the "fake geek" girl claims

only if your really ugly and or fat or even plain/average looking you can be a geek
like its some special club
ironically these people worship anime abut attractive female otaku and shit..it makes no sense to give so much shit to attractive girls irl and only give it to the circus ugly, i feel like even those girls sill get the "i only want male attention" label because its the only way they can apparently because they cant get it with their looks

inb4 bait
you know its fucking true

>>7396639
Then they were probably too scared they would get shit-talked too. I'm sorry you are still getting trouble years later. Is it the NY comm people talk badly about? If so, you are still probably better off away from them.

>>7396587
Like I said, he said it like a joke. Plus he's always seemed to see it the same way as me up until the other day.

>>7395822
I was in a similar situation, anon. I say end it now, it only gets worse if you wait

>>7396103
I know that feel anon. We had a wacky day for spirit week and I felt really awkward turning down photos from the photographer chick, but I just really hate pictures...

>>7396669
Everyone judges everyone else. If you're a moderately attractive girl into cosplay, you will be judged as a fake nerd girl and this probably won't change in your lifetime. 'Nerd culture' for kids growing up in the 90s was a drastically different climate. Everyone had the 'grow up fast' attitude where admitting you enjoy nerdy things like comic books and video games will forever brand you a loser. You just never saw the super attractive popular girls in school hanging out with a bunch of pimply faced pre-neckbeard kids and gushing over your favorite anime together. It just didn't happen because even if you were super attractive and into nerdy shit like that in middle school in the 90s, you would most likely lack the mental maturity to openly admit you're into nerdy shit and just not care about what people thought about you. If today being labeled as a fake nerd girl bothers you, then you probably still lack the mental maturity to not care about what other people thinks about you. So yeah, with the sudden change in culture and all the attractive girls now proudly claiming to be a 'nerd', you can't blame us for doubting your sincerity when we literally did not know you existed until a few years ago when it became socially acceptable for you to be into this kind of shit. Maybe if a few of you took the time to befriend some nerdy losers in middle school we wouldn't have a problem believing you've existed all along. But you didn't.

>inb4generalizations

>>7396314
Not that anon, but this ALWAYS happens to me... I'm tall and thin and tights are impossible. Also jeans are shit to find, anything tall enough is for people with more ass than me.

>>7396598
>dating someone who talks to you like that
You got a real winner

>>7396747
But the people who complain about "fake nerd girls" obviously care about what other people think of them as well. It's why they're so bitter about the world today.

>>7396660
ah, not NY, but liked it. unfortunately unlike the NY comm this one didn't get a lot of attention and I was just blown off as a "crazy vendetta"

>>7396651
ah, no, different anon.
ever since we had that convo I posted he stopped hassling me about it.

that was the one and only time. still pissed me the fuck off he'd say such a thing

Put one of my dresses up on lacemarket but I'm having second thoughts. I really need to let it go but there's still an important memory attached to it and I think I lowballed the starting price by about $40...

I think I'd feel better about it if I got more bids.

I'm really scared of my exam next week. If I fail it, I will have to quit my course of studies (I'm just short of graduating as well). I think I should easily be able to pass it, but I have this bad foreboding...

>>7394964
Wow, that sucks, anon. People say fast food service is one of the easiest jobs, but it's actually pretty draining stuff.
I've found that food service employees usually genuinely find it refreshing to see someone smiling and such, and I guess it makes doing the job a bit more enjoyable.

>tfw I get special treatment for being a pleasant regular customer
Sucks to be a jerk customer.

>>7395115
Oh yeah, because this planet obviously needs more fucking people.

>>7394197
It's hard but you need to stop talking to him entirely. You won't heal unless you do.

My feels:
>came back from con super excited about future cosplay plans and ready to get to work on more stuff
>can't go to any cons until early june after qualifying exams are over
>need to stop thinking about/working on cosplay so I can get prepared and not sound like a total idiot when my committee is grilling me on my research
>all this motivation going to waste...

>>7396782
Is it the bodyline op? I was looking at that, but I'm about to buy and have bought so many jsks and ops that I'm not sure about it

>>7393841
Jesus Anon that fucking sucks. I bet you looked gorgeous. Man I hate those retarded SJW tumblr kids.

>have black bodyline JSK, want it in white
>see a girl has it in white and wants it in black
>message her about it

"I'd have to charge extra for mine, I wore mine at prom and everything, so it means a lot to me, I don't think your dress is really worth the trade. I'll be willing to trade you this dress if you pay $15 extra for mine"

bitch, my dress is NWT, your dress is white and has fucking armpit stains from you sweating in it at prom.
keep your damn dress.

>>7397000
Bet you it's this anon >>7396782.

>>7394757
>what are taxes

>>7397047
... What do taxes have to do with it?

>>7396846
Exactly. If someone comes in with even a half-way decent attitude, if they're friendly and offer a smile or two, it makes things so much nicer. Bonus points if they're up for pleasant chit-chat while I'm fixing their drinks.

>>7397015
no, it was several years back. and the dress was $60
I was thinking about making a joke about it though

>>7397063
Do stripers not have to claim taxes on their income?
Spending all the money you make is unwise if it's taxed.

>>7394757
Not stingy at all, especially if his current bike is still functioning. Surely he could get a payment plan, so I don't see why he would need $1000 for anything except a down payment. But if he can't come up with $1000 on his own, he won't be able to make the monthlies and it will get repoed anyway.

>>7397105
yes, they do have to pay taxes.

>>7397105
As far as I know, they do. At least in California anyway. My husband has an ex-girlfriend who was a stripper and he used to help her with her taxes.

>first lolita dress
>fits like a glove
>god it's so beautiful
>so fucking happy oh my god

>>7397658
Update:
>have been wearing it in my room for the past two hours
>prances around feeling like a princess
>it's past midnight already, ohshit.jpg
>don't want to take it off and return to peasant pajamas

>>7397658
Congrats anon! Which dress?

>>7393841
Well you really shouldn't fucking cosplay a black princess when you're white.

You had it coming.

>>7396613
>Dump him he sounds like an arsehole
She would, but black girls don't often get to date white guys. Has to hold on to him like a pup to a tit.

>>7397682
R-Series Odette Maison.
I have another R-Series dress in the mail and am also waiting on an invoice for the KL Jellyfish JSK reservation.
So excited to start building up my lolita wardrobe. Hopefully I'll be getting some brand pieces soon too!

>>7397687
>Well you really shouldn't fucking cosplay a white character when you're black. You had it coming.

Top kek, anon.

>>7397687
By your color, no white person should ever cosplay anyone from sailor moon because they're all japanese.
Or Agni from Kuroshitsuji from he's Indian, etc etc

Seriously, shut it.

>>7397695
Stop putting words in my mouth.

It doesn't work the other way because 90% of characters in fiction are white or Asian (usually Japanese).

>>7397700
If a black person or a mexican or any dark skinned person can cosplay WHOEVER THEY WANT!!!, so can a fucking white person you racist piece of shit.

Taking things away from white people to make black people feel speshul is fucking stupid.

"Look, black-kun! Everyone is equal, you cosplay whoever you want! But not you, whitey, fuck off, it doesn't MATTER if you like the character, your skin color doesn't match."

>>7397697
It's about fucking looking like the character, you moron.

While those are Japanese characters, they're appearance is still open to interpretation (big eyes, white skin, etc. -- all this stems from the fact that anime was stolen from Disney).

A black princess is not open to interpretation. She is black. Only black people can cosplay her then. End of story.

Korra, on the other hand, is more ambiguous, so anyone can cosplay her.

>>7397703
So then you're saying a black person shouldn't cosplay non-dark characters too, because clearly they're supposed to be white as hell.

Right?

>>7397702
Oh boy, looks like I agitated some shitlord from /pol/.

Look, this is not about racism. It is about privilege. I bet you also get butthurt about the fact that you can't say the n-word in real life, oh boo fucking hoo, biggest fucking injustice in the world.

>>7397706
Actually I'm so fucking white I /can/ say the n-word in real life, and black people think it's the funniest shit.

You're creating this huge double standard, and I can't fucking believe how stupid you sound.

If black people can cosplay white people, why can't white people cosplay black people?

You sound like the race equivalent of a tumblr feminist.

>EVERYTHING SHOULD BE EQUAL, THIS GROUP IS OPPRESSED
>EXCEPT THINGS SHOULD BE BETTER FOR THE OPPRESSED GROUP AND NOT ACTUALLY EQUAL AT ALL.

>>7397705
No, black people can cosplay whatever they want, because otherwise they could cosplay less than hundred characters altogether.

Why is it so hard to understand.

>>7397713
Yep, definitely a /pol/ shitlord slash fedora neckbeard. Ignored.

>>7397717
Ahah. No. I don't go on /pol/ at all. You're just being a stupid, inconsistent cunt.

If a black person can cosplay a white person because they really love the character, a white person ought to be able to cosplay a black person because they really love the character.

If a black person can cosplay anyone, the white person isn't "taking a character away" from black people. They're just cosplaying someone.

I don't know why you can't seem to grasp that at all.

If you open up white characters to black people (which, no, I don't have a problem with. Cosplay whoever) it's really fucking hypocritical to then say, "Oh, but white people can still only cosplay white people lol because reasons."

>>7393841
Unfortunately, this is why I'll never cosplay either of my favorite Disney characters (Tiana and Mulan).

>>7397743
Mulan could easily be done with makeup though.

>>7397743
This. Mulan was my idol growing up, but I don't want to deal with a bunch of rabid SJWs with too much time on their hands.

>>7397743
>>7397750
You're the ones letting sjw dictate who you cosplay. That's sad.

>>7393841
Shoulda black faced.

>>7396782
Are you the rose birdcage dress? If so, the only bid on it so far is me. Contact admin@lacemarket.net if you want to raise the starting price.

As a general trend, I notice that a lot of bids come in on the last day. If you don't want to run that risk, just contact me and I will help you change the price since the only bid so far is just mine :)

>>7397952
Yeah, that's me. Sorry and thank you, I'll send you an email now

Dang dollar/pound price conversion.

>>7397801
That would be like pouring gasoline on the angry SJW flame.

"Awww I like your cosp- Wait a second, you're white!!!! BLACKFACE!!!! DISCRIMINATION!!! RACISM!!!"

>>7393788
this just in! while I was asleep he apparently bought a laptop that was over $1,000 with the money I earned, and It came today!

he's been bugging me about working so much I actually puked from anxiety, and now I know why he's been bugging me!

I'm so fucking done

>words he says while he's playing on his new laptop
"I feel like I'm going to throw up, I'm anxious that you aren't working when you said you would today"

when he goes for his walk tomorrow, I am seriously going to pack up my shit and get ready to move out, new laptop included.

>>7398083
Holy shit anon, do it. That is beyond fucked up. Fucked up exes can get crazy though to move anything worth money out as fast as you can before he can try to take them/destroy them.

>>7398089
well, the room is just really messy, so I'll play it off as "cleaning up"
he's always gotten really clingy about me leaving him as I posted here as well >>7396598
and he says he's just ready for it to happen at any time, "because I love flirting with other guys anyway" and he'll even help me find a place when I need to.

I'm just upset because its been a very long time (many years) since I cared about someone like this. but if the other person is just going to be an asshole, its unhealthy for me to stay.

these problems only arose once we started living together. sigh.

>>7396301
Can I say something as someone's who's been on both spectrums?

You're being a little shit.

She's your friend, not your therapist, not the buoy in your life. She has your own problems and her own life and she's living it however SHE wants. You're accusing her and blaming her for your issues when she's not the cure and if this is how you treat people, I can see why you don't have friends.

You're the only person who can pick yourself up. It's okay to reach out for help when you're ill and let people know that, but turning helpful hearts into crutches makes you a manipulative and irritable human being to be around.

I'm not gonna cut you any slack for it. I learned it the hard way and it kicked my ass into gear onto recovery. Can you kick yours?

>>7396332
I'm sorry people were so rude to you anon, I've dated people in the past with fetishes I wasn't okay with doing but I never shamed them for liking it... I'm sure you will find someone. Maybe not a cosplayer but someone. It's something that I would wait for a bit to tell people rather than off the bat, human sexuality is a strange thing.

>>7398083
take that laptop and go, he bought it with YOUR money anyway so now it's now laptop I'd say.

>>7396301
I had a friend pull similar crap to this last year. We were really close, she was the person who got me into cosplaying in the first place, encouraged me to try it out and gave me strength to put an outfit together and wear it, and she just.. never seemed to have time for me even though we saw each other at school every day.
I finally, finally after like a whole year of her doing this crap called her on it. She called me manipulative for telling her I was depressed and blocked me, then started a smear campaign in my town, lost like 15 fair weather friends. You know, it doesn't seem like much but this is a small area and I'd rather have someone who is 'meh' about me to hang out with than NOBODY. Keeps the depression at bay. I'm sorry this isn't a very good story for consoling someone I just feel it a lot. People SUCK, especially when they don't emotionally know how to handle something.

>>7396301
>>7398129
I was in the opposite situation with someone for a long time, she really liked me and our friendship and always wanted to tell me about her problems, etc, but I could never feel comfortable with her, she was kind of judgmental tbh, I ended the friendship kind of badly and reconciled but then drifted apart I guess. I feel bad for being a bad friend but I should have just stopped talking to her earlier.

>>7398111
W O W
You sound almost exactly like my friend!
>>7398129
She isn't blaming anyone for it, but seriously asking someone to be a friend when you've been their friend is too much? You can live your life all you want but the second you need help you are going to be out in the cold, because that's the shitty friend you're making yourself out to be.
I just find it so funny that you're using the same words my friend used to excuse herself from having any equality in the friendship.

>>7398136
See, thing is this friend of mine would talk to me about her problems as well. Like she told me a SHIT ton of personal stuff and, as a good friend I just talked her through it and let her know she wasn't alone. I went to a lot of lengths to try and help her and it was obvious she trusted me, but before we met she ended up dating a really abusive person, and... she slowly fell back into their arms and were lost to me. That's what really ticked her off, when I asked if she was hanging out with "____" instead of me all the time. Apparently they were, insults were hurled as soon as she saw that I was onto her. It hurt a lot since my trust is so hard to earn, but I can't save her from herself.

>>7397952
I almost bid on that in the same cut and colour on Mbok in December, it only went for 9000 yen. The resale value isn't really very high.

>>7398111
Rough, but it's true. I was in the same spot, and I had the exact same line of thinking. It's almost creepy how close your post is to my former life.

Find other people to talk to. Join chats, streams, etc. That's all. I spent years depressed, lamenting over friends not keeping in contact anymore before I realized I could make new friends online. I came to terms with the fact that people change, and relationships change. My friend and I didn't quit on bad terms, we just don't talk that often anymore.

And please find a therapist or doctor to talk to. Try to find one that won't push pills, but will give them if deemed necessary. Friends can support you in times of need, but they can't help if you're in legitimate need of therapy or pills.

>>7398141
I'm sorry, I actually want anon to recover and grow up and move past this phase. Telling her her friend is shit isn't going to help her at all.

A healthy friendship means the exchange goes both ways. If you're unloading more than your share without some kind of understanding then the other party's going to be fed up with it. Anon sounds so unhealthy and accusing and I didn't think it was helpful to coddle the issue.

Ever had that friend that always moans about the same issue, over and over again? The kind that always brings their problems over the time you're SUPPOSE to be enjoying together? You can be helpful and as friendly as you want to be but if nothing changes than it's a dead end. And don't give me that bullshit about change takes time, we've seen plenty of examples where time doesn't do shit. Think Pixyteri.

Anyways, being a friend doesn't mean you can save someone from their own demons. There's a point in life when you have to grow up and tackle those demons on your own, not burden the people you know with them (especially when people aren't good with them).

>>7398145
Yeah, I really don't have a problem being supportive in the crazy times, and I tried to be a lot because she seemed to need it a lot but I was always so uncomfortable around her I couldn't get past it, usually I am when I first meet people but I just couldn't. For example we were swimming in a pool in our underwear and I mentioned my bra wasn't fitting, and she goes, "what, it's too small?" and I'm like, "umm no it's too big" and she's just like *annoyed noise* and goes under the water. Like she has 'body image issues' so I can't talk about my body at all. GR8. Also I'm kind of 'awkward around people and hide in my house all the time' kind of person and can come off somewhat nonfunctional or like 'oh god I'm sorry I'm trying to figure out what to order' and she would get this kind of "anon you are being immature and I'm annoyed you should just get over it/I am embarrassed because I think you are being weird in public/why are you being difficult" which I get, but
>1) I'm not that bad, and I am pretty understanding of when other people are being slight retards and
>2) It's not like I suddenly became a shy awkward idiot like if everyone in the group decides they are being pissy and don't want to decide where to eat and I should for some reason it's not going to just work out immediately haha!

Now she's becoming an sjw. She's not a bad person but I just always felt judged I guess? I know I'm weird but other people seem to be able to deal with it and like me.

btw before I come across looking like an asshole her body image issues were like 'i hate how my eyes are brown like mud' and 'i hate how my nose is big' and she used to have acne but bitch control fixed it and used to run a lot and be skinnier but she stopped working out so much and I think has a better relationship with her body, I think she just has a lot of random jelly

Not sure if this counts as a feel but still.

Basically I"m angry about tumblr SJW and the fact they're absolutely everywhere and you can't avoid them no matter where you are. The worst part is seeing people you known believing all that bullshit because one random tumblr user says it offends them and how that means everyone must agree with them because they got their little feelings hurt. They also touch upon fandoms more and more which makes it even harder to get away from them.

Also I feel bad seeing people get 10k notes on their cosplay because they're a "PoC" because you just know that's why they get so many notes, not because of their actual cosplay but because people reblog it to show how great they are and how much the accept other people.

But the thing is anon is making it sound like her friend literally does not give two shit even if she's about ready to kill herself.

That makes her a piece of shit friend, because friends are supposed to be there when you need them.

I don't have problems nearly as bad as anon, but I have anxiety and ADD, and I simply commented to a "friend" of mine that I was going to go to a psychologist to see what they could do to help, and she went off on a tangent saying that mental disorders were bullshit and they were excuses for people to act like assholes and be lazy.

She's a fucking NURSING student. I wasn't asking for her help or support, wasn't asking her to do anything for me, just talking to her about how things were going lately, and that's the kind of shitty response I got. I can't imagine dealing with someone so dismissive if I was depressed or even suicidal.

>>7398145
Yeah, that sounds exactly like my friend >>7398319 , except my friend is a fucking cunt too, not just dismissive.

We've been friends since 7th grade. I was always sort of the awkward socially inept kid, and in my friend group I was the "ugly" one. She always bases her happiness off of how much better she is than other people, so when I grew out of my awkward phase, got a bitching boyfriend, and was just generally happier than her, she turned into a fucking cunt. She would still come to me with problems (her and her BF have a terrible relationship) but as soon as I had a small problem that I just wanted to talk about, she'd flip out and come up with some reason why she couldn't listen to it, or she'd tell me why it was a bullshit problem.

I've finally decided I'm fucking finished with her. THe other day I was sick and couldn't go in to work, so I asked another girl to cover my shift. She didn't show the fuck up and apparently they were really busy, so my "friend" decided to blame me and hasn't spoken to me since. That was sort of just the last straw because holy shit what a petty bitch. She told me I should have come in to work while I was sick, and I told he how stupid and dangerous it was, and she didn't say anything else after that. Apparently she'd gone to work with the stomach flu, and surprise! it started to spread around to other employees.

She's just such a worthless piece of shit and doesn't care about her actions or how they may affect others, but expects supreme sympathy from everyone else as soon as anything goes wrong for her. She's also hypocritical as hell and a super judgmental piece of shit.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Do you have to actual physically pay your taxes in the US? Here, it just comes straight out of your paycheck unless you're self-employed.

>>7398847
Income tax is taken directly from paychecks. You can avoid paying them by working off the records, or under the table.

Every January/Febuary you have to file your taxes, because the government pretty much always takes way too much money away. I got $1000 back making $10,000 last year.

Anyways, women have a lot more sexual cues than men do, as they have to determine whether or not their mate is capable of providing for children, protecting the family, the best possible pregnancy and child rearing investment, etc. Men only have to determine whether or not a woman has a body suitable for child rearing (physical attraction), as they are wired to impregnate as many women as reasonably possible. Therefore, women are more fluid in their sexualities and can find many people, including those of the same gender, attractive, while men have a more static, simple template for sexual attraction.
