>>9205294
it's alright, i switch hobbies a lot too. sometimes its best to just take a break when you've been saturating your brain with it too much. you can always return to it later

>>9205310
You're probably fine, and even if you're not nobody will say shit to you IRL. You can always make up an excuse for not wanting to be included in pics of the event if you're really worried.

>>9205316
I think I should be fine on the outfit too....but i dunno. It's just unnerving to think that the same people who say some of this cruel stuff will be the same people at these events.

>>9205318
If you're talking about cruel stuff on /cgl/, it's probably not even the same people. Hundreds of lolitas browse here and only a handful are serious salty vendetta-chans or very bitchy. Most lolitas don't go on 4chan at all. If your comm is just one with a lot of drama, that's a real pity - try to stay out of it and make some nice friends anyway.

>Order a Makoto Nanaya cosplay from cosplayhouse.com
>looked amazing in the pictures, costs me around $230 bucks
>oh well looks super nice
>meanwhile commission a tail from a fur suiter and the tail looks amazing, ears are a little too big and dog like though, not a huge deal
>waiting on the cosplay now
>three and a half months go by, nothing from them
>ask what's the status of my order, they said they're just waiting to make the props
Three months??
>ask if they could send just the outfit atleast, the only props the outfit has are her metal tonfas
>package comes
>looks NOTHING like pictured, this looks like a Halloween costume teir
>gloves are supposed to be fingerless and long, they send me random regular sized gloves with fingers
>thigh high socks are calve socks
>super pissed but motivated to try and make my own Makoto Nanaya Cosplay

(Cont. the next part almost makes me tear up)

>>9205332
>looking for a sewing machine on Craigslist
>also simontainously (feel like I spelt that wrong) watch YouTube videos on how to use a sewing machine
>one really good video chick is using a singer traditional 2250
>that looks like a basic good model
>not too expensive, says like $100 retail
>check Craigslist and find the exact model new in box $75
>they live about forty five minutes away and I check to see if they'll take $65 for it
>they say yes and we agree to meet today after work (I originally contacted them Wednesday)
>girl who's selling it calls me, asks when I could meet up today, and I just had gotten off work five minutes ago so good timing
>tell her anytime now, she asks if an hour from now works, I agree
Some info, I'm in the military stationed in Florida and I had just gotten off work meaning I was still in uniform
>don't want to waste her time waiting on me or choosing a later time because it's Friday and she probably has plans like the rest of the normies in the world
>it's hot as hell today and I want to change, but again don't want to waste her time
More info, I'm not a huge fan of the military and hate how everyone treats people in the military like a damn war hero and thanks them for their service.
This bullshit is too easy and I have too many benefits to name, no one should thank me for shit
>also everytime I see someone in uniform outside of a base region I think they're just an attentionwhore
>I'm going against my usual ways but I don't think it matters too much, I hope they don't mind
>drive the forty five minutes and finally get to the meeting place
>it's a older woman with her husband, probably around forty-fifty
She gets out of the car and I do as well and first thing she says is "Aww!! You looks so cute!!" (I get this a lot I have a baby face and I'm young military-wise) and I shake her and her husbands hand and I mention I just got off work that's why I was still in uniform
(Cont.)

>>9205341
>I know nothing about sewing machines, she's real excited saying she couldn't figure it out so that's why she was selling it
>she shows me it in its box and some of the stuff it comes with, again I know nothing and I just think "yep this is a sewing machine"
>everything looks good I hand her the money and ask her to make sure it's all there
>she counts it, then hands some of it back to me and says "Here."
>immediately think "huh?? Did I over count??"
>"it's okay!" She says, I'm confused but she starts to close the trunk like everything's good
>I freak out and try to hand her the money back asking her to take it
>she says "No, I already took a little. I can't take money from a little baby like you!!"
>I'm almost speechless
>"and you're in the military!"
>I urge her to atleast take another twenty so she could atleast get $40 for this good condition machine.
>she politely rejects, I thank her a lot and tell her how much I appreciated this and I'm so thankful
>head to my car and wave good bye and the husband thanks me for my service and they drive away
>can't believe what just happened.

I spent $20 on a new sewing machine today, and I'll keep this machine forever. This is one of the nicest things someone has done for me.
Now I definitely can't give up on this cosplay no matter how much I want to.
And man I feel like tomorrow when I try it out I will definitely want to.

>Draw patterns for hours
>Get them done
>Looks little off
>Then realize I have used wrong measurement at the beginning
>I have to draw almost everything again

Fucked up. Didn't get the job. After 3 years of working every fucking day that I can and multiple jobs so I would have the experience I got told I have 'insufficient knowledge' anyway cause I fucked up the interview.

There goes my dream of financial stability and weekends with my comm. Being able to wear nice clothes to work again, rather than a uniform. There goes my chance of a fulfilling job that actually uses my qualifications instead of going 'hehe I know you have a masters degree but the most important thing about you to us is that you clean the toilets, even though that's not in your job role at all'.

>>9205400
I know that feel so hard. I didn't disclose an important part of my history to a company (didn't think it was relevant, dumb dumb mistake) and now I'm banned from applying to the main organization in my field for a year...this was after I had already aced the interview and the skills tests. I posted in the last feels thread about this, but I'm taking it as a sign to fulfill some of my goals/dreams that I won't be able to do once I'm settled into a career. I like to think that shitty things like this happen for a reason, even if it isn't true it helps me make the most of a bad situation. Maybe an even better job will come your way, or maybe this will motivate you to work on your public speaking skills/self confidence and thus ace all your interviews in the future!

>>9205407
>I didn't disclose an important part of my history to a company

If that somehow got you banned, then what the hell did you leave out?

>>9205423
I was involuntarily committed to a mental institution for a few days back in 2012 due to a suicide attempt. Dumb as hell to leave it out but it didnt fit under the "have you ever committed a crime" section because it wasnt a crime, so I didn't really know where else to put it, and figured it was a private mental health thing anyways...failed to take into consideration that there was a police report filed. I feel so stupid about it, because I wouldve 100% gotten the job if it weren't for my oversight/wanting to leave that embarrassing moment in the past (It's not the fact I was committed, but moreso the fact they felt that I was trying to hide it). But yeah. Gonna use this year to travel to Japan, work on crafting, and have as much fun as I can on a shitty budget. Sage for me being psycho.

>have some money to go into a new Jfashion wardrobe for school
>have to budget it carefully for weight
>open my order folder full of links
>nearing 50 listings if not slightly over

At least I have a whole month to sift through everything..

>>9205407
You situation sounds a lot more shit than than mine- you made a genuine mistake for a very understandable reason. I'mean glad you are using the year off to do positive things though.

I just spent all my prep time for the interview focusing on the wrong thing- I was worried my 6 months of very relevant experience wouldn't be long enough so focused on all the training I did during and since and talked about that in the interview. Instead it seems I should have been showcasing my knowledge relating to the topic of this particular project - which I thought was less of an issue because it's a research project- and I can research as I go because that's what I usually do.

Everything will turn out for the best in the end for both of us though I hope.

>Abusive ex distanced me heavily from all of my friends while we were together years ago

>Don't like going to cons and feel like I'm trying too hard when I do, but worry and stress about the fact that I'll likely lose my friends for good if I stop
>Would like to do more group cosplays with friends so I at least don't have to worry about being a massive bother when I hang with them

Fuck food poisoning.

>>9205561
ur gross

>>9205436
Somehow I don't buy your story anon. This seems like it would be considered discrimination(not the tumblr kind, the actual kind) You didn't commit a crime and unless your job requires a mental health check(in which you would have known this would be an issue) you could file a complaint.

>>9205592
The job I'm applying for is at a state law enforcement agency (desk job, not a cop). Like I said as far as I know it isnt because of the commitment but because I didn't disclose it so it's not like they aren't hiring suicidal people but rather they aren't hiring people who arent totally open about their past. I would like for it to be something I could fight but I don't think it is.
The attempt also included alcohol and I was underage which was noted in the police report but I wasnt charged with anything so I'm not sure if that is part of it or not.
Overall they never gave me a concrete reason why I wasn't hired but allowed me to place a public records request and the only thing on my public records request was a crime I was a victim of and the commitment.
If you have any resources/info that says otherwise though I would be happy to read it.

>>9205597
Ah, well you should have known and it's your own fault. Anything for the state will be strict on stuff like that. GJ fucking yourself over.

>>9205599
Lol i know that already! Lesson learned!
Anyway I'm excited for Halloween and even if I don't have enough money for a totally new coord I have some pieces I haven't worn yet that I am starting to think could be a good base. Love the fall!

>Mother finds out about my interest in cosplay
>She doesn't understand the appeal
>Is still supportive
>Wants to help me make my first cosplay

I can't stop smiling because she never really does this kind of stuff and it'll be my last chance to do these things with her.

>meetup this weekend
>looking forward to it since I haven't been able to go to any in almost a year for various reasons
>super causal meet so it'd be a nice way to ease back into the comm
>wake up today and notice my face is a little itchy in spots
>think nothing of it
>finally look in a mirror about an hour later
>I've got a lovely, blotchy, itchy rash on parts of my face
>can't cover it up with makeup because it's so irritated and it would look like shit
>realize I somehow got fucking poison ivy/oak on my face
>mfw it's not going to clear up for about a week

I feel like the universe is telling me to just stop trying to interact with my comm, because every time there's a meet something happens that makes it so I can't go. Like last week there was a meet I'd been looking forward to for weeks and then 2 day before I got a fucking sinus infection.

Guess I'll just be a lone lolita forever.

I'm coming to the realization that, though I am overweight and should continue to work on it (and my overall health), my view of myself is very distorted
>get into lolita a few years ago, but avoid letting myself spend any money because "I'm too fat, it won't fit anyway"
>grudgingly buy some Bodyline hoping that'll satisfy my desire for frills. It doesn't. Also, nothing fits well.
>Buy a Haenuli dress in 2015 because they offer sizes. It's quite big on me when it arrives.
>Buy some Baby and AP over the next year
>Some of them are tight, or don't suit my bodyshape, but for the most part, they fit just fine
>staring dumbfounded at myself in a mirror
>looking at the cgl threads full of people way bigger than me
>am I... not actually that fat?
It feels kind of good to have proof that I'm not really as bad off as I had convinced myself.

>>9205700
>I feel like the universe is telling me to just stop trying to interact with my comm, because every time there's a meet something happens that makes it so I can't go.
such things are often stress related. if that is the case, working on stress management techniques could help.

>>9205526
was your ex a guy or a girl?

Anyone else feeling like being online is an increasing drag?

I just want to have fun and be an embarrassing fujoshit but wherever I go I always end up being dragged into some sort of discussion on how everything is problematic and how dare one enjoy things.
It feels like even not caring is seen is a horrible crime.

>tfw no irl friends to be salty with and watch shitty anime together
>tfw going to cons to find these people feels impossible
>tfw I just want to have shameless fun

>crash dieting for CCNY
>I can feel my soul escaping every day
Just 8 more days brehs....

>tfw no /cgl/ gf

>>9205750
>embarrassing fujoshit
>don't want to be involved with problematic discussions
>salty
>shitty anime

Oh anon, I know that feeling. Aside from here/lolcow I've got really no where else to discuss fujo stuff and be salty. Since my internet is slow I can't use Tumblr as much either so aside from shopping, I've got nothing much else to do aside from play Steam single player games and homework.

At least I've got my 11.11 cart filled and I'm two weeks ahead of my homework?

I'm moving away from home tomorrow to live closer to my uni, which also means that I'm going to have to stop cosplaying because of money stuff. Kind of makes me sad but it's also a bit relieving because cosplaying has felt more like a chore than an interest lately.

>>9205702
Sounds like you're complacent as well as possibly overweight. Maybe you should try lifting or at least doing some cardio. A good diet (not "dieting" but a good diet) being the most important thing of course.

>>9205859
Yeah it really sucks, and I avoid using lolcow because I noticed it just makes me even more bitter then is probably good for me. It can be fun for certain topics but often it's too much of the other side of the argument for me.

>tfw no real middle other then /cgl/
>tfw technically talking about that stuff here isn't even allowed

It's so weird tho, several years ago I could have seen these "problematic discussions" and probably be on the opposite side. But I'm bitter and jaded now, so I'd just rather avoid all of it till I stop being so reactionary.

And that's nice, I should really start using my time to be more productive instead of being angry.

>>9205904
It's alright anon, for me lolcow is a good motivator. I look at people like Marge and think "Well at least I'm not sleeping in a 7-11" but shit like social justice and stuff? Just leave me out of it, I got my own shit to worry about and i just wanna have fun.

We could always have a fujoshit general though and post fanservice photos and just talk to other fujos. The otome cosplay topic is basically just that and it'll be nice to talk to others.

>>9205909
I would love a fujoshit general, the otome thread was really fun and I'm glad the mods didn't delete it.

In all seriousness though, I miss how fandoms etc. were several years ago. There was petty fighting but everyone knew it was petty and nobody was being send CP (Voltron fandom is a mess and I'm glad I'm not part of it)

>>9205915
Let me get on it and I'll make one! Just need to load up on some suitable pics first to make it on topic.

>New violin set goes up for reservation on Innocent World
>Perfect, I love music themed pieces\
>Reserve 2 different colors of socks, pic related
>Get the auto confirmation email, wait for them to invoice me
>Invoice never comes
>Check the site today
>Socks are on sale normally and one of the colors I ordered is sold out
>What the fuck IW

I'm pretty pissed. I emailed them, so hopefully they get back to me soon. Makes me not want to order from their site anymore.

>>9205885
I'm happy to know that I'm not at as bad of a weight as I thought, but I'm certainly not complacent to stay where I am. I've been lifting for a couple of months now, but can't do as much cardio as I'd like because of asmtha and joint problems (though it's slowly getting better, as long as I respect my limits and don't try to overdo it). Eating is definitely the part I need the most work put into,and you're right, it's the most important! I got down to 145 over the summer, but considering how short I am, I'd like to lose at least another 10 before I feel like I'm moving away from being a pile of flab.
I don't want to turn into someone who's content being mildly overweight just because they're not severely overweight; I know way too many people who do that and it drives me crazy.

>>9205332
>>9205341
>>9205346
Really sorry about the crappy cosplay, Anon. Did they say it was made to order or something? I would be really mad and probably demand a refund, but by 3 months it'd be pretty hard since even credit card companies usually are long past that by then.

Glad you got a sewing machine for cheap though. Hope your cosplay goes well, and I admire your dedication!

>Realize my birthday is coming up
>Forget what the fuck my age even is
>Do the quick mental math
>Panic and do the math again several times
>I'm really turning 25 this year
>It feels like it wasn't even that long ago that I turned 21
>Realize that while I'm in a decent spot in life, that's all it is, just decent

Working my best on some self improvement but I guess it's hard to be motivated when you're just "comfortable" with your current life.

>>9205985
It's always good to set little goals, like working out or staying tidy or learning a new hobby you've always wanted to try. Volunteer work can often be really fulfilling. But remember there's nothing wrong with just being comfortable, don't let movies and TV tell you otherwise.

>tried to bench 280
>could only bench 270

feels bad man

>>9202341 is me.

>had a little bit saved in a cosplay fund that I was contemplating on what to work on for
>had pretty much decided a couple days ago
>Just need to move the money from my Acorns account to my bank account!
>Last night, have a dream about my friends from before I moved to the middle of nowhere
>Wake up and immediately start sobbing.
>Text one
>"You're still coming to visit us this month, right anon?"
>Explain I have no job still
>Look at Acorns cosplay savings
>Welp, looks like I'm spending that.

I think overall, it'll be good for me to go visit them again. I don't make friends very easily or feel really emotionally attached to the ones I do make, so the fact that I made a few of those is really important to me. I can also go see my nephew and his mom who I used to see nearly every day since I lived three blocks from them.

>inb4 you should be using that money for rent/food/whatever

I do have enough money to last me a while with that. It's everything else I can't really afford to budget in.

>>9206051
Seasonal hiring time is coming up soon anon, you should try to apply everywhere you can for the holiday season. I'm sure you already are, but I just wanted to encourage you and wish you well. I dont have that great of a job either (I just work at Target) but seasonal hiring is a great way to join the team and even stay on after the holiday. One of our front end managers joined as a seasonal hire more than 5 years ago, so anything can happen! Dress well for the interview and give it your all if you get hired--they're likely to keep you on after the holidays if youre eager to work!

>Now a full time grad student and had to severely cut back on lolita purchases
>budget, budget, budget
>Just got an unexpected check from old job on old pay

I want to treat myself to some second hand brand but it's been so long since I've had money with no responsibilities attached to it that I'm nervous to even look at it!

>>9206070
Thanks! I actually just found a couple seasonal positions that just opened since I posted my first feels, so I submitted a few applications! It's nothing fancy-- one's actually Target, haha. Thanks for the positive words!

>>9206100
Thats great! If they dont call you within a week, call them and ask for HR. Tell them your name and ask if theyre looking to do interviews soon. That's how I got my interview! Job hunting and interviewing gives me bad anxiety, so I know it can be hard to make such a forward move, but they'll appreciate it. (and youll appreciate that first paycheck ayyy)

>>9205708
Well it's not just things like getting sick or being stressed out, since my closest comm is an hour away. Sometimes the weather is bad for driving, there's major construction somewhere along the route that makes my drive twice as long, horrible traffic, getting lost in the city, etc...The more I think about it the more I'm remembering what all has made me extremely late or has stopped me from going all together.

>>9205332
What did you pay by? If paypal you should definitely be able to get your money back, not sure about credit card companies but you should try.

>>9206147
Credit card, but they wanted to remake it and I was like "no way lol" but they kept insisting over and over they make it again, but then the offered for me to pick any cosplay in their store and they "use their best team to make it" and I was don't dealing with them at this point so I just picked something and maybe that one will actually turn out okay?

>>9205735
A guy

>>9205944
Good. Sounds like you might still make it.

I know too many people who never will and they would never be even at that level. They literally don't even answer if the topic comes up which drives me nuts.

Do your best.

>too afraid to stand out
>dress up super girly for once

I can't wait to order my lolita wardrobe and feel like a goddamn magical being among peasants. What was I ever afraid of in the first place?

Next month starts a new con when I live. I'm gonna go but some people I don't want near to me are gonna go too.

I really want to go but I know I'm gonna feel really bad about that...

>>9206241
I'd watch out if I were you; a lot of chinese sellers use that to try and extend the time so you can't make a claim anymore, and then they'll just ignore you.

lmao

>>9206878
i live in a part of town where its pretty much like this, junkies everywhere etc.
i drive to a train station 30 minutes away when i go to the city because i'm genuinely afraid my dresses will be spat on/tugged/touched, or i'll be harrassed

>>9207074
Headphones are a lifesaver. That and never looking up from your phone and (in the case of one story) having a parasol was a weapon in case someone tries to steal your purse.

>>9206878
it's a great feeling. i'd much rather be overdressed than anything

my feels:
>tfw getting ~4 new sets every month + gifts from friends
>moving up in career=more money for burando
>hit 90 lbs (not ana-chan, barely 5 ft)
>thinking of starting a blog because the lolita blogging community is stagnant

it's been a nice couple of months

>>9206983
Stay strong anon, I have the same shit at my uni but the girl is a raver-hippie drama student who's been trying to friend me after seeing me in some JM at the library. Talked with her and tells me her idol is Hello Batty so i have been staying far, FAR away. Thankfully I won't have anymore subjects with her after this semester.

Maybe you could add more cardigans, tights and hair accessories to get that bit of extra lolita in your life

Was driving home from a con and totally pooped myself. (Luckily NOT wearing my dress!)

I felt so pretty all weekend, and this was a real call back to reality.

>>9207206
damn

>>9207206

I saw so many cute lolitas this year, and now I'm wondering which one dumped her drawers on the way home.

>>9207954
Did they tell you that? You could say you need to keep your business PG-13 because a large portion of your customer base is young.

>>9207955
Yes. The only issue is I'm extremely active in the local LGBT community and thus must tread carefully.

>>9207954
>looking for dress for dollification
Did they really say that? Who contacts a seamstress (or anyone who doesn't specifically work with fetish gear for that matter) and just straight up says that the dress they want is going to be used for fetish? Why even mention this at all?
This oversharing trend baffles me.

>>9207960
mtfs are known for being autistic as fuck

>>9207958
Adults acting inappropriately within a LGBT space that also includes minors is a huge issue though.

I keep buying super sweet prints and hate that I have shit taste but I just love fluffy pink sweet. Someone help

This. The issue is, which I've already done a load of to fix locally is more than half of the LGBT events are fetish based and posted to the public page.
I've contacted the main moderator to report this individuals lack of filter and just have them issue a warning.
The post for commissions was on my personal Facebook.

>>9208060
make it clear you aren't comfortable with making fetish gear. it has absolutely nothing to do with gender or physical sex, so if people choose to make it like that it's their fault for being dumb. really press that you're in it as a fashion, not as a kink, so that there's no misunderstanding.

>Thought it would be awesome to get into cosplay
>Mainly dress as cool knights and shit in armor
>Imagine myself clad in knight regalia with a bitchin ass sword
>Just shrug it off and continue to play video games

Feels nothing.

>want to do literally anything /cgl/
>still have student loans
._.

Only /cgl/ related because I'm making something. But my mom and I have been wedding dress shopping since my fiance proposed a little over a year ago. Didn't want to make my dress because I figure I'll be too stressed with other things.So I try so hard to find one I like. Can't find anything and it doesn't help I don't want a white dress. I get so frustrated for a lot of reasons. Mostly for letting my mom down each time we go because she's so excited. Finally tell her I'll have to make it because I'm at a loss. She stops by today with 500 dollars for materials as here contribution. I'm in tears. My mom is just so wonderful you guys.

what the fuck haha

I've wanted this dress for years and....

>>9208330
Whew, you need to be a member of the itty bitty titty committee.

>Only received one WIP so far and that was near the beginning

I'm mostly upset that they keep claiming that they feel bad and guilty for the wait when I've been told on several occasions that the cosplay is in the box ready to be shipped only for some sort of delay or mishap to occur.

>Now I'm heartbroken

I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes but I've been dealing with a lot this year. I just got out of a 3 year relationship in April (my first major relationship) and month before my last semester of undergrad started my "best" friend basically ghosted me after I asked her if we could talk about our dynamic and she said yes and we even set a time. My heart's pretty much decimated at this point, but I hate being alone so I guess I'll keep trying.

>>9208519
Him seeing someone else and getting serious with them while going out with you is shady as fuck. I know it hurts to hear, but maybe it's for the best. There will be other guys, anon, I believe in you!

I never thought this would happen, I've bought so many things from her. We semi-know each other. What do, anons?

>>9208594
Do you have her contact info? Email her about it. If you saw a WIP of it, I think that she probably lost your contact info rather than not finish it.

>>9208191
That's just so sweet! Your mom sounds like an amazing person. I wish my mom was like that, when I got married I wanted a short dress, but my mom talked me out of it since she didn't like it, I ended up buying a long dress that was way more expensive...

>>9208354
Flat is justice.

>>9208330
i feel bad about not understanding this

>>9208330
get a corset that will let you wear your titats as a necklace. like in ye olden days?

>>9208709
laughing right now because I'm listing to misheard english and I was reading something entirely different than what you were saying.

ye olde question, Edwardian or hourglass for maximum lift?

I know crying about money is nothing new but it fuckin sucks. I've got it better than a lot of other people I guess but I'm sad I can't afford fabric and wigs right now. Thankful we found a house we can afford even without me being employed right at this moment, even our dog has a yard to run in. My artistic outlet has always been cosplay, and not having some kind of project there to keep me busy at the end of the day is lame. Wish me luck on the job hunt... Hopefully I start getting called back soon.

>>9208442
With 3 semesters left of college...

>tfw you are extremely fat
if I only had a cute gf that would motivate me to work out, instead the world is full of girls with super high standard which just doesn't give me a chance. And so I shall keep gaining weight until i find a princess that gives me a kiss so I may shed my fat which is my prison and become her prince.
>tfw no gf

>>9208779
Alphonse pls. That's not how it works. Lose weight first.

>normie friend got into anime I like
>we decide to do a pair cosplay from it

>every little thing needs to be argued over
>I love her to bits but Im never cosplaying with her again

>>9208781
I hope my money speaks louder then looks hehe....

i want to just give up weight lifting and start doing cardio 4-5x a week instead because i know that will help me lose weight/fat quickly especially with me diet, but i really like weight lifting even though i don't have time or the appetite to see any real results from it...i just want a few inches off my waist so i can fit in MM and VM no problem...

>>9206878
I wish I could feel like this. For some reason, getting sneered at by yoga-pants-and-swearshirt girls really gets to me. I honestly don't understand why but whenever I leave the house feeling great, all it takes is a few nasty looks from teenagers in Kylie Jenner drag and I feel like shit.
>beacon of sin.jpg
I mean goddamn I am an adult woman why am I more self-conscious now than when I was a teen myself?

>>9208191
Same boat here! I've never seen a wedding dress that I completely, 100% like. There's always something about it that makes me not want to wear it. People keep telling me to make my own but I don't think they realise how difficult and stressful that can be.
Your mom sounds so sweet, though. I'm sure she just wants you to be happy!

>>9208779
>admits to being extremely fat
>wants a cute gf
>wehh girls have too high standards
It's not girls, it's you. Why don't you just date an ugly girl? There are plenty of those out there.

>>9208705
The bust of the dress is awkwardly short. Shorter than a US dollar bill.

>>9208779
>tfw same but girl myself

I'm at a point where I don't want to leave the house anymore because I"m convinced everyone hates me. All the girls at my college are so pretty and cute and I look like a monster compared to them.

>>9208893
how much weight/height?
also always easy to find desperate guys at anime club at college

>>9208895
6tf tall and in the 'low' end of obesity so I'm basically a walking freak of nature.

I'd like a relationship but just going out with someone who's desperate seems like not fun. Not that we have clubs on my college anyway.

>>9208898
I'm assuming you're not an American then since that seems to be a fairly standard height/weight for them, sounds like you're being extra hard on yourself though.
Do you know what led to your weight situation? stress eating, low activity, bad diet, health reasons?

Also sometimes you just have to ask out guys and be willing to be rejected, or go the online dating route and deal with that

>>9208901
I'm not indeed, and I'm aware my self-esteem is non-existent. It's probably a very bad sign that whenever I go outside I can't help but look at other girls and think of how much better they all are.

And I basically tried to eat away all my anxiety since I was a teen,and I had a lot of anxiety. I would just eat until I felt sick so I didn't have to feel anxious. At this point it's a flat out addiction and it scares me that I can't seem to stop.

>>9208769
Why the heck did you move?

>>9208875
Because as teens we were generally unaware of how we looked.. case in point, teens regularly not showering and rewearing dirty clothes.
Now we'really super aware of how we look, especially those with anxiety, and it's hard to just shut that off and not give a fuck.
I gotta tell you though once you get in the habit of dressing how you want it becomes easier to tune everyone out because you're more confident in yourself.

>>9208875
i know this feel so bad, happens to me just in my normie/otome inspired clothes
heck, even when I'm at work wearing plain black I get little kylie jenners being snooty - probably because I have bangs, don't wear super tight clothes or have a full face of makeup

>looking forward to Japanese festival, First two years my friends all bailed on me, third years the charm
>Buy a Yukata, I'm fucking ready
>turns out the website for the festival fucked up the date and it was actually held the weekend before

>we go into weeb shops, shop keepers trying to push their weeb shit at me when I care the least about their merch
>guy follows me around telling me I should buy a samurai sword to match my outfit, tell him what happened and he still didn't fuck off
>friend buys $400 worth of merch and they still somehow ended up bugging me the most

I ended up being so embarrassed I bought myself a spare change of clothes and changed in the car.

Hopefully next year I don't miss the festival again.

god.. 3 years of missing it. I look forward to this shit every year and something always happens

Empire waists were actually a staple of the regency era, for maximum lift go with an overbust that doesn't have built-in cups (preferably a straight bustline as opposed to a sweetheart for maximum flattening/lift). Orchard corsets is usually a decent low-cost option.
Also fun fact Edwardian-era corsetry was actually focused on accentuating the bust and often left the breasts hanging free with a partial underbust. What most people call "Edwardian" was actually a staple of the late-Victorian era.

Incoming feels:
>Get nasal surgery back in March w/ top surgeon

>At the point where nose is basically healed, looks exactly like old nose aka not good.
>tfw paid an extra ~8000 (not covered by insurance) for nose to still not fit my face
>tfw last haircut (now former) stylist gave me an extremely unflattering haircut, including very unflattering bangs.
>have to wait to fix both things
>have no motivation to attend NYCC this weekend or dress up in lolita because I feel super ugly

I just want to be kawaii

>>9208885
Honestly I did try dating old ugly girls, but people keep staring at me. And everyone i know keeps telling me I can do better.... fuck why does everyone judge me...

>>9209041
Any before and after pics, let us be your judges can't be that bad.

>>9209043
>dating old ugly girls
>everyone i know keeps telling me I can do better
>why does everyone judge me
They aren't judging you, they're judging the girl you're with. You sound self-centered as fuck. Maybe work on that personality of yours as well as your waistline.

>>9209061
i just lurked a lot

lolcow is dead too

>>9208709
Clevage in Lolita? Prepare to be posted in the ita thread.

>>9209077
this, the actual threads on lolcows and special snowflakes are just 90% "I don't like how she looks" anyway and it's the most mind numbing stupid shit

>>9209152
That's exactly what the old drama on /cgl/ was though?

>>9209152
Not to mention new mods on lolcow are fucking crazy paranoid ever since r9k and pol shitposters admitted to lurking there and they hand out bans for stupid reasons.

>>9209162
Yeah but at least the actual drama wouldn't be milked out for so long (with a few exceptions). On lolcow you have threads spanning 1000+ posts where the absolute majority of them are the most petty shit ever.
You'd have several threads but they were moving faster and for the most part at least tried to bring in new material.

>>9209165
I've never been a huge fan of the modding on lolcow. Overall it's a site I might visit sometimes if I need to kill time but I always leave with a bad feeling.

>>9209171
But it's exactly the fucking same content. Just because you don't like the way it's formatted doesn't mean it's different drama. Fuck off

>>9209072
But what if the skinnier I get the douchier I become?!

>>9209065
Would have been better with a side view pic, but I don't see a problem would date you either way. Love girls with thin lips.

Don't worry, you can't become much douchier than you are now.

>>9209203
Thanks seagull for always watching over me.

>>9209199
Listening to your mindset now, you'll never become fit or skinny.
>I need someone who puts effort in their body to accept me and my fat lazy body and only then can I attempt to put in effort!!

>>9209282
You should have look cuter. Maybe take some hormones.

>>9208906
talk to a therapist.

You should have yelled something like "don't make me fuck your dick off!" that would have made him feel scared that you were trying to gay him too

If it's anywhere law enforcement related they will shred your ass for the littlest thing. Well, you know that already. They are purposefully looking for reasons to disqualify you. Even if you had told then they may well have passed over you because oh she did it once she'll do it again. The background investigators are pretty much the biggest assholes in any department you can find and it's their job. The joke is "yes" means your employment stops and "no" is no objection. Unfortunately for you it's on a record.

Sincerely, someine who's had to go through the shit show too. Not sure it was worth it because you basically become a dog of the state and are now in a bunch of databases. They do pay a lot though

>>9209320
Yeah I probably should, this isn't a good state of mind.

>>9209171
I do remember asherbee (whatever her name was), kooter, and pt getting milked for all they were worth here. It's the same shit. Maybe because you actually have a dedicated board it feels stale

>>9209365
I just miss all the trips calling each other out - I know some ex trips personally and they never left the drama behind so I'm mostly mourning the call out threads and shit smearing that was so pure here on 4chan.
There's good shit going on and I want to post about it.

>>9209383
Go jack off or punch a wall or something, you'll feel better.

>>9209402
Why not both? Why not combine the two and when he's jacking off use the same hand to hit the wall in one fluid motion?

>>9209451
Better yet, why not punch the wall with his dick?

>>9209274
Go lose weight first. I personally have a deep hatred for fat people, and many girls find it really unattractive as well. If you actually wanted to lose weight and get a qt gf, you would do it now. You're making excuses. Physical attraction is a huuuge part of relationships. Plus, if a girl was blind enough to want you now while you're a fattie-chan, why would they waste their energy motivating you?

If you're serious, go visit /fit/. Read the sticky, lurk the fat hate threads, and change. You prick. You sound like some nice-guy fedora tipper.

>>9209476

I don't mind chub if his personality makes up for it. But dude sounds like a pathetic "woe is me" person, which is more unattractive than a BMI over 25.

>live in costal southern town

I live on the 6th floor of my dorm, if I put everything above the ground I'll be fine, right?

>>9209338
Ugh. Thanks for empathizing with me at least. I've gotten hired at lower level places (a police department at an airport lol) and had a few other leads at city level law enforcement agencies but somehow ever since the state agency denied me it feels like everything has dried up, and I'm thinking it might be related:( I feel so lost right now.

>tfw you got a thread deleted

>>9209644
HWC please give it a rest.

>>9209644
lol they really deleted the thread just because I don't agree with the sjw trolls out there.

Mod rage at it's finest.

Btw if you are HWC thank you for being candid with me. I did have one more question for you: were you dressed in your lolita clothing when you met your guy, or were you dressed 'normie' ?

>>9209563
you need to buy a 'hope chest' sized one of those 'fire proof' safes, they're usually watertight as well and should keep any clothing from being damaged even by a hurricane.

>>9209648
I was wearing Lolita

he actually really likes Lolita and will look at releases with me!

mods hate me because the posters here rage at me and it creates more work for them

(sorry mods

maybe not pander to fat girls throwing hissy fits tho)

>>9209563
Florida?

>>9209648
She does this all the fucking time. She'll call someone fat, people react, and mods have to delete the thread.

Her husband needs to slap her and tell her to stop it.

>>9209654
hey now

to be fair

if they weren't fat they wouldn't get so upset over being called fat

>>9209650
>maybe not pander to fat girls throwing hissy fits tho
pic related

>>9209654
maybe if they weren't so used to this place being a hugbox for tumblrtier jerks there would be a bit more open discussion

>>9209654
also
>Her husband needs to slap her
advocating violence? how nonfeminist and patriarchal of you!

I'm sure he gives her all the spankings she wants :^)

>>9209661
they are tho

I get called anorexic here all the time and while I may technically be underweight it's not like that automatically makes me anorexic

I'm a picky eater but if you're not pushing a BMI of 25 /cgl/ will call you anorexic

>dat feel when u actually post community relevant and culturally interesting content
>then u get nermahammed even mentioning ur name gets other anons hammed
>shitposters allowed everywhere
???

>>9209668

You admitted previously though that you probably achieve that by unhealthy means (throwing up because you're anxious). So I see where they're coming from, even though everyone is just as quick to call ana as to call fat.

>>9209672
>I actually like throwing up due to anxiety

it's not like it happens every day
its not how I maintain my weight

>>9209668
>bmi of 25
>anorexic
it's the crab bucket mentality HWC, that combined with the fat acceptance bullshit that most western media is trying to force men to accept. You're a shining example of the way a woman should be, so don't worry about it. I'm sure your husbando thinks you're the most beautiful woman in the world, and wouldn't trade you for all the rolls and folds of /cgl/ combined.

All my recent cosplays have masks so my therapist thinks I hate myself

>>9209677
just because they don't like me they try and shit on my relationship, say that my husband doesn't love me, stuff like that

it's really hilarious that they have to try so hard to hurt me because they don't like me

>>9209680
We aren't saying it because we want to hurt you, we're saying it because he's 37 years old. 14 years older than you. Do you REALLY think he loves you? No. You're a pretty, submissive girl who's virginity he took. That's why he keeps you around.

>tfw you're a guy but really think Lolita is beautiful.
>tfw you want to be part of one of the community get togethers/tea parties, but you don't know how you'd ever fit in and not look weird.
>tfw you wouldn't mind dressing up as a butler or something and serving, but you're short and fat.

It's a painful kind of feel because I'd love to be like Haji from Blood+ or Wilhelm from RE:Zero but I just don't have the body for it. Do you think I could get away with it even though I'm overweight, if I act the part? Or would I just be laughed at/shunned.

>>9209682
>We aren't saying it because we want to hurt you

Speak for yourself anon, she's a bitch and I'm glad that she's stuck with a life so shitty that she has nothing better to do than puke and shitpost all day.

>>9209682
lol at this shit that keeps popping up. My husband is 24 years older than me and is the only person I've ever had sex with. He loves me to fucking bits and we've been together 6 years. People constantly ask me how we do it, can I get them one of the same, does he have a brother. Older men at GOAT, no fucking 20 year old dudebros and niceguys for me thanks. When a man already has money and personal achievements, he's so much more supporting and less insecure.

>>9209690

you can find a qt wife who likes to cook for you and who draws little comics of you two together doing silly stuff

It doesn't look bad, anon. I can kind of see the difference, and those are terrible pics. Maybe just wait a little longer to see the changes?

I got rhinoplasty in January, and my nose is still slowly deswelling and changing. Some days it is smaller, and the tip isn't as curved as it was during the first few months post op. I believe they tell you to wait at least one year for results. You've probably just gotten used to the subtle changing. The bangs might also be throwing you off since you're unhappy about them?

>>9209694
Thanks for giving me hope, for a girl that isn't a gold digger.

>>9209696
no

>>9209698
You shoulda awarded her the title of Big Mac.

>>9209695
Eh he's not going to turn to jello or something. He's bearmode fit and is aging pretty well. We started dating when I was 16 (legal in my country) and there's still a long way before we have to start thinking about this shit. Either way a nurse is no issue, we already have a maid anyway. Plus I'd be happy to take care of my bae.

Trying to save money for many overseas trips next year. It's so hard not to spend money on lolita.

>>9209709
That's what people say if they haven't been in the situation yet.

Haha. Keep up the lord's work, anon.

>>9209716
Bars work too. I'm only considering a host club because of that 2000y all-you-can-drink umeshu, to be desu.

Watching you talk about your husband is like watching a kid talk about their all time toy. And that's creepy.

Some random dude cosplaying an anime butler to a meet would be weird and cringey no matter what you look like anon. We do not want to play act butlers and princesses, we want to hang out in nice clothes.

>>9209799
maybe if you didn't fall for the SJW/feminism/cultural marxism meme and realized that traditionalism is the way to go you'd be happier and like both men, and yourself, more. Degeneracy only leads to sadness and self hatred/destruction.

just saying.

How's it feel knowing your hateful race will be extinct soon?

>>9209817
I'm not sure I'm familiar with that meme but 4chan just makes me depressed, I'm not consciously subscribing to anything
I think I still believe in the ideal, but it's getting harder to picture myself achieving it

>>9209836

and yet you were the one that posted>>9209799
all I did is suggest >>9209817

since then all you've posted is insults about my race and call me an MRA

yet somehow 'I' am the one irrationally angry.

This is your brain on cultural marxism folks. I'm sorry that your brain has been so damaged by the cognitive dissonance that you've had to subject it to just to keep your corrupt worldview intact. Hopefully you'll find the mental health help you so desperately need. There are help lines out there friendo.

The question you have to ask yourself is if "the ideal" is your ideal.
Though if 4chan is making you depressed, cut out the parts of it that do. R9K had me fucked up for a while, so I stopped going to it.

>>9209705

No, I'm a different anon that finds feminists deplorable. However, the fact that there was another guy on here breaking into this SJW hugbox means the mods must be slipping. Imagine what it's going to be like if they ever disband /pol/...

Talk about having no sense of perspective, your way of thinking is literally a microcosm in the entire expanse of human history. If anyone is going to be on the wrong side of history, it's you and those who think like you, you shill.

keep on being triggered that you are too dumb to understand love

I was 16 when I met my husband who was 30

I turned out fine

>>9209854
Started dating at 16, been together 6 years, 22 now. Honestly age is just a number. Mentally we're really close. Enjoy the same hobbies, world view, etc.

>>9209864
Double standard. We get this a lot. People get creeped out thinking it's a weird pedo thing. If I was 40 and he was 16 it would be very different.

>>9209866
I just wish I didn't have to respond to such obvious cultural marxist propaganda.

>>9209870
Thank you for injecting some wisdom into their bullshit. I doubt it will sink in though, granite skulls tend not to be very porous.

>>9209871
I don't think it would be weird if a 40 year old woman were dating a 16 year old guy at all. If anything she must have something going on for him to be interested!

>>9209871
But you're right it's definitely a double standard, feminism is great at that sort of thing.

>>9209871
Fun fact, the only reason people act like its so terrible is because of older women losing value!

There's literally nothing wrong with my husband and I having 14 years between us, but the west will tell you that there is to keep the value of old hags up

>>9209874

>>9209872
That's what I mean. If I was the older one we'd get so much less shit. When I was 17 we went on vacation and booked a hotel room. The bitchy receptionist was judging us and refused to let us check in. She said it was because of hotel policy that all minors had to be with an adult, and my bf (at the time) was definitely an adult. But she turned us away just the same because of stupid judgmental reasons.Had to wander around town at 11 pm trying to find a hotel room. I was so fucking happy when I got to a legal age. Also I have to hide my age from his colleagues, when they come over I host and it's great we all chat like regular adults. But as soon as the age issue comes up and they figure out how old I am, suddenly they look at me differently and second guess everything I say.

This is far fucking worse with white people, most Asians are a lot better about it. But then judgmental Indians.

t. mentally ill child with daddy issues

>>9209864
>>entire world up to this point had no problem with 16 year olds being married to older guys

Are you implying that history is always right? because literally the reason early marriages were supported was so that families had time to shit out as much children as possible in the likely scenario that most of them died.

>>9209883
I don't have daddy issues

if anything I have mommy issues but you don't see me going off and marrying an older chick

ur fkn dumb senpai

>>9209884
not always, but there's literally nothing wrong with a 16 year old being involved with an older (30+) man?

>>9209879
>>9209881
idgi what is christmas cake

>>9209884
Using history as an argument isn't good, I mean historically retarded babies were thrown off cliffs or drowned in rivers. Still there is nothing wrong with it, whether it is legal is only decided by the government. Ages of consent go down to 12 in some places.

>>9209883
>2k16
>still believing in Freudian theories
???

>>9209888
Christmas cake is a woman after he age of 25 who hasn't gotten married

The name comes from nobody wants a Christmas cake after the 25th of December

just like nobody wants a woman after 25

>>9209889
Damn even in China leftover women don't happen until 27-28. This shit is getting stricter by the minute.

Also we're discussing young girls marrying men with large age gaps? So calling christmas cake is like going into a gay thread and saying no homo?

>>9209891
anon was just an idiot who thought they would make us feel bad when in reality both of us are married and younger than 25

in Japan it's pretty common by 25 to be married and it's just neets who push it as "anyone older than 25 is worthless!"

>>9209884
history isn't ALWAYS right, but the stuff that works tends to stick. It's only recently that the idea of 'eww creepy old dudes marrying poor young girls' has reared it's ugly head. And that's feminism's fault. Why? Because an older guy will teach his younger wife the right way to go before she is tainted by the poison of feminism, and cultural marxists hate that. Cultural marxism (feminism SJW, etc) is all about DESTROYING the family, not unifying it against all outside forces. Because for the government to be surpreme, they must be the head of the household, not the father/husband.

>>9209883
t. shitposter shill

>>9209879
I'm a dude bro. Though I am in my 30's so I guess that makes me a male christmas cake somehow?

for those girls/cakes out there that aren't taken yet for whatever reason (overweight, mental illness, failure to submit to male authority, etc) it's not too late for you. Slim down, dye your hair back to a color found in nature, change that god awful attitude and submit to a mans God given authority as head of the household and maybe you too will find a husbando who will love and cherish you.

A man doesn't want a 'partner' or an 'equal', not an uncucked man anyway, he wants a wife. That doesn't mean you're a slave, but in the hierarchy of the family you are below him and he makes the decisions. I know it isn't popular but it's the best way that family works, and women were much happier when they lived that way.

>>9209817
>>9209842
Why does it always seem like anti-SJWs get triggered easier and harder than "SJWs"?

>>9209898

Well, at least your rants are getting more interesting

>>9209899
>he's triggered because he's explaining his position.

I think you need to look up the definition of 'triggered' t.shitposter shill

>>9209901
The truth is far more interesting than shill fiction anon! Careful though, listen to me too much and I might actually change your mind.

The truth has a way of making sense.

>>9209888
>Using history as an argument isn't good, I mean historically retarded babies were thrown off cliffs or drowned in rivers. Still there is nothing wrong with it, whether it is legal is only decided by the government. Ages of consent go down to 12 in some places.

Listen man, I don't give a damn when people decide to fuck, but it really riles me up when people go "(historical period) used to support (practice I do) but then (thing I don't like) happened" because it's always used by people with no actual historical knowledge and/or who only like certain parts of the culture that practiced it.

>>9209898
> stuff that works tend to stick

by your own logic, pre-feminist ideals didn't stick because they didn't work.

If you want to go back to that time so badly, go have ten children and die in a war, please.

>>9209898
You had me until the feminism poison. Both me and my husband are feminists. I've opened his eyes to the everyday sexism that happens, and he's really receptive now.
>he can't watch old movies like top gun and saturday night fever anymore because the portrayals of women are so shit and it makes him mad
Also he makes the money but I call the shots. Sorry to ruin your younger/submissive/lolita/Asian/weeb wife fantasy.

None of that shitty machismo bullshit. Where I'm from the 'manliest' men make the money, do the housework, do the cooking, and spoil their wives to high heaven. Wives just go shopping, have girl dates, do spas, and entertain themselves. Sure you can have a fulfilling hobby or career, but it's not expected for you to work.

>Sexist double standards again

I was just thinking this. I tend to avoid these threads, because they devolve into the petty catfights that tend to plague the lolita community so frequently.

When I'm browsing late at night and I see this thread keep getting bumped, I know before even clicking on it that someone's yelling at somebody else, over the dumbest shit.

Case in point.

>>9209937
Yeah, you're ugly and delusional. Sorry about your... everything.

>>9209942
stop projecting any day now

>>9209937
Who or what is HWC is it a phone?

>>9209937
Lol at your best attempt to deflect how badly you are trying to believe your Mary Sue fantasy could be real is saying I'm fat when I am medically underweight. I thought I had self esteem issues, but damn you have a lot of baggage.

>>9209946
Housewife-chan

>>9209947
I mean, you can try and say it's not real all you want but that doesn't make it true

you don't KNOW it's not

but I do

that's why I keep coming back

no amount of people trying to say it isn't real will impact me because it is real

>>9209946
Are you trolling? House wife chan is some sad anon who pretends to be their Mary sue character and comes here to brag all the time because she is so totally happy with her life that she looks for validation here. Isn't she apparently filipino or some other shitty third world Asian?

>>9209947
>not having a loving hubby who always tells you you're beautiful

damn bitch I got self esteem issues out the wazoo but it doesn't mean my man doesn't think I'm 11/10

>>9209952
So you keep coming back because posting here makes your fantasy about being pretty and rich seem real? Glad you admitted it. It's the first step to getting a life.

>>9209953
>mary sue

is this true HWC? Is that why you won't email me? I just want to be kawaii rorita housewife age-gap friends.

There is nothing wrong about finding a kind and beautiful woman. Don't be salty that I have hope and you just salty behind you screen.

My bf said I "didn't look my hottest" today so I sent him to bed without supper. Was that the right thing to do?

>>9209955
The thing with low self esteem rather than attention seeking is that even though my boyfriend showers me with compliments I don't believe it. Big difference between the two.

>>9209957
I'm not saying it's fake, because it isn't

no matter how much you want it to be fake, that won't make it fake

no matter how much you don't like me it won't take away my life

>>9209964
It's not that people want your fantasy to be fake at all. Generally gulls want good things for their fellow gulls. It's that it is obvious that you are really sad and looking for validation because you post here bragging all the time to make yourself feel better about what isn't so. Aka escapism. If you were really the things you want to be you wouldn't seek attention from 4chan every single day, especially negative.

>>9209969
just checked the email didn't show up in the field? idk not ur fault.

Have you actually watched the third season of Digimon though? Up until recently Pokemon had far better games but even considering the first two seasons which were riddled with errors, the Digimon anime was far better than Pokemon's.

>>9210080
>unironically watching the ashnime

>>9210086
You're really bad at reading comprehension.

>>9210099
I was going off the last line

it implies they watched the Pokemon ashnime

>>9210102
As a 10-year-old child, for maybe half a dozen episodes when it first started airing in the 90s, yeah, but then I dropped that shit for Digimon as soon as it started.

I probably couldn't watch the Ashnime as an adult even if I was drunk off my ass and tied to a chair.

>>9210124
Anyone who can recognize a good thing would drop the pokemon anime for digimon.
Never really touched a digimon game though

>>9209971
yeah it's pretty weird. She talks like she's the only person that's in a relationship here because she wants people to think she's great, and gets unusually fiercely defensive when people say otherwise. Her lack of social awareness is kinda sad...but she doesn't really have any friends so I wouldn't blame her for having no one else to talk to about her husband except the internet.

>>9210143
I don't think she's as awkward as she lets on. She's incredibly good at instigating things, so she has to have some insight as to social norms.
