Anons, this is a silly thing to be bothered by, but I need direction.

I really like this, but I remember hearing (and seeing) all sorts of things about the designer back in the archives. That was so long ago and I haven't heard drama recently. Would it reflect badly if I bought this/supported her? Should I look for something else/ similar and go for that? Or should I not care and just buy the fucking skirt because I like it.

Anyway, you're saying the millennial generation should have been aborted, implying you're older than 31- aren't you just a bit too old and crusty to be wearing lolita? (To anyone else- I'm a cosplayer, and from what I've seen older people are frowned upon from wearing lolita, so forgive me if it's the opposite and they're actually accepted) Or do you just like browsing /cgl/ to shit on millennials, which most of the board isn't made up of, because you have nothing better to do other than deny that you fucked up this generation?

I'm trying to view cosplay as something fun and for fun only, but all I can think about is how much better my friends are at it. I've never cosplayed before, and the character I want to do most has already been cosplayed by a girl I know who's cuter and thinner than me.

Con season is coming up and I'm trying to budget, but my roommates are so fucking slow with cashing in my rent check so I'm always having to subtract my rent from what I have and then by the time they decide to cash in my check, next month is due and I go through the whole thing all over again.

>"I prefer check over cash because I can just scan it on my phone!"
THEN FUCKING DO THAT. Also, I physically handed it to them this time because apparently leaving it on the kitchen counter next to where they put their keys is "hiding it" and I'm lectured about "withholding rent." I want to move, but I'd be paying more for rent, and as I said, it's con season.

I think I'm starting to develope a social anxiety. I have always been a bit anxious when meeting people but now it has kinda gotten to the new levels. It's sucking out the fun of lolita, I used to wear it daily which made me super happy but now I'm afraid I will look absolutely ridiculous. Meets and events are so hard to enjoy because I'm so stressed especially if there is no lolita buddy to stick to. The worst affects are on my other life though. Sometimes I'm too afraid to go to a library and I'm currently too scared to go to take a bloodtest. I feel like the most worthless been on this planet. I'm currently unemployed and probably will stay as one because I can't sell myself and what I will do if I got into an interwiev. However, I'm seriously trying. My life has become a slow circle of anxiety. I wish I had even one friend, lolita ones live so far away and abusive ex kinda made me cut contact with my school ones. I just wanna crawl to bed and never come out again.

this isnt cgl related so I am saging, and I would prefer that no one replies to me. I have my email at the bottom.

but idk what is going to happen. I honestly wish we had done something with n. korea instead of going into the middle east again. (that would piss off China more than Russia tho I believe. But would China do anything serious? We are interwoven in many aspects and have many of their foreign exchange students and they have many of our ESL teachers. Meanwhile Russia has burned many bridges with us and we've always been hate-fucking each other since the cold war.)

Trump tries to be buddy buddy with Putin so maybe something will not happen, but Russia has recognized it as an act of aggression.
If this doesn't start it, shit might happen with Japan/China and them fighting over territory. Russia will flock to China and we will flock to Japan.

Please US government do not try to overthrow the Syrian government, lordy it has never worked in the middle east. I have wanted us out of the middle east since the early 2000s.

I am pro-Obama, but his presidency was not perfect like all are, and I am disappointed that he did not get all of our troops out of the middle east like he said he would. I don't think he realized how difficult it is to do that and he assumed he could bite off more than he could chew.

Draft wont happen. Russia wont do anything either. This was a power play to show that Trump will not be doing Obama foreign politics IE "strongly worded messages". Assad used chemical weapons and America responded accordingly, despite how you feel about Trump it was the right thing to do, to bomb the airfield that delivered the chemical attach to high hell.

Sent a strong message to China, North Korea and Russia while gaining the respect of pretty much every other middle eastern government. Bonus points to squashing the allegations of Russian collaboration.

In short, her opinion doesn't really matter. She can either resent you for her own shortcomings or she could use you as inspiration to do better.

The only "source" for alleged attacks carried out by Assad against civilians is a guy living in the UK. He collects claims by local sources in Syria. These have time and time again be proven to be completely wrong.
There are no U.N. teams in Syria reporting on "crimes against the civilian populace".

I keep trying to wear Lolita regularly but never seem to be able to stick with it. I'm really worried that maybe the fashion isn't for me. Been involved for something like 8 years and can't stand the thought of "leaving." Yes I know I don't have to leave and can just wear Lolita the rare times I feel up to it, but I'm still sad that it doesn't and probably never will have a bigger place in my life.

Also, I'm starting to worry that I might have a personality disorder or something. My other friends have personality disorders and I recently realized I see some of the same traits in myself. One of my friends told me I'm a horrible friend but when I asked them to tell me why they went silent so I don't know if they are just having an episode or if I legitimately need to get my shit together.

It's not so much a, 'they aren't doing things to turn me on, as much as a, 'I just don't get turned on, and don't feel like ever having sex of any kind or flavor.'

It's true that in a relationship that one kind of has to have sex. It's given not because they 'want' it, it's given because even if one doesn't enjoy it themselves, it's good to make the other person happy. People like to give things that make others happy, and in a relationship, one of those things is sex.

I'm not kidding. Literally close the window right now and don't come back until you've been making costumes and bettering yourself for a couple years. All the "cosplayers" on here do is nitpick, bully, and bitch. 99% convention goers aren't that critical, and won't give a shit if someone's cosplay isn't perfect or if someone skinnier is cosplaying the same character. This board gives such a skewed sense of what the cosplay/convention community is really like, making it look like catty drama is the norm. Had I been a regulator here before I was cosplaying, I would have never started and never gotten to where I am now.

The more time goes on, the more people seem to want to just dismiss anything they don't like and throw a fit until anything they don't want to see is removed from their presence.

You might be on the internet now so it's okay to filter your content and the people you're in contact with, but reality does not work like this. Everyone has problems and if you don't want to go through life having a fucking spasm over every little thing, you need to learn how to cope with yours, so you're not "l iterally shaknig om g" every time there is a mention of something you don't want in your vision.

It's surprisingly hard to coordinate unless you have more old-school styled pieces to go with it, and the bow are not removable.

This piece is starting to become a buyer's remorse piece in spite of hunting down for it for ages. I'm still determined to wear it often. For now I'm going to set it aside until the weather gets cold again (it's surprisingly heavy).

I'd say you've met my cousin but she only has boys and they're slightly older. Too morbidly obese to walk around much let alone run after two extremely badly behaved kids, so she just sits there and yells while other people have to deal with the little terrors. One time in a restaurant the oldest ran up to her, yanked on her hair as hard as he could, then ran away again before she could even turn her head to see what was happening. She screamed a bunch of expletives at the top of her lungs but later just said "boys will be boys" and that there's nothing she can do because all kids are like that. Hell no. Some people shouldn't have children.

First, I hope you appreciate how many pancake asses and half flaccid dicks I had to stare at to get this photo. Don't know why but the Google image results for 'regular thong' are fucking atrocious.

I have different thongs for different occasions. Generally you want a little less fabric than this in the back or else it might bunch up and get itchy. I don't like G strings because they tend to...creep...and it feels unhygienic. Also avoid cheap lace and seamless microfiber unless you like swamp ass. If you're having fit issues you can find thongs they sell by pant size rather than by the generic small/medium/large. You can also try dept store thongs on OVER your regular underwear but pant size should really help you find ones that fit.

I mean, behavior like that is sadly pretty normal for a lot of college students, but with your boyfriend I think you could probably fix it by doing little things like refusing to get intimate if he smells like garbo. Another good strat is to buy like half a dozen plain t-shirts on sale for him. One big reason most college kids are so dirty is that they don't have time/want to do laundry. More clothes = more time before a wash.

Don't get him Febreeze spray or else he'll think he can substitute that for a wash, like every other goddamn college student.

Don't worry, you're not the only cosplay this happens to. There's a ton of costumes that look terribly similar, so I go around the whole con acting serious with a nice camera, complementing people and then eventually saying cringe stuff like "Even my mom would recognize the Waldo cosplay, she'll like these" after I'm done taking pictures. The one person that got upset the worst was a mediocre Alucard cosplayer when I had my btard friends strategically walk by and say "I haven't seen a Carmen Sandiego in years!" just as I was getting done taking pictures, and then left saying "Thanks Carmen!"
His expression was priceless, but I had to keep a straight face and not break character. I should really step up my game this next con and pretend I'm from either Syfy, Buzzfeed, or Kotaku.

I'm literally just venting about the fact that I'm insecure about myself. I'm not uncomfortable because he's making me uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable because I was told for years that I was an irritating shit that the guy I was dating at the time would be the only one who could love me. I'm in a new relationship with an amazing guy and I'm not used to being in a happy relationship like this and my fear is that I'm going to get so insecure that I'll end up ending it or fucking it up. I'm not looking to dump this guy, he's an amazing guy who looks out for me and takes care of me and only wants the best for me, and the feelings are mutual. I'm just venting about myself, I don't recall saying anywhere that "I feel unsatisfied and he's dismissing me," or anything like that. I'll reword it, though.

I feel for you anon, I have similar issues because of my mum and I have dyspraxia.
I always assumed it wasn't very bad, because I can walk without a cane and button up my own clothes, plus I always felt like I overcame the cognitive aspects by just working harder - so I did well in school until now. I'm in grad school and really struggling.
The nice lady from the welfare office pointed out to me that in terms of what the university sees my dyspraxia might actually be quite bad because if I was severely affected physically I would study by distance learning or not at all.
So now I need an assessment (because my diagnosis age 3 is woefully out of date) but it might be tricky because I turned 27 this week and none of the tests are designed for over 25s, plus I have to pay. Sigh.

Good luck with getting your assessment and meds anon.
