Maybe this isn't exactly feels related, but does anyone else feel this kind of weird irony when they see dozens of posters verbally ripping cosplayers apart in the bad cosplay thread, yet dozens of posters also consistently mention buying their cosplays online?

To me, it seems as if you shouldn't really be critiquing someone else's costume if you don't have extensive experience making costumes yourself. It's with the knowledge of costume fabrication, which comes from making your own cosplays, that proper criticism can be formed. You wouldn't take a food critic seriously if he or she has never touched a stove or pan, for example. However, having been on /cgl/ for years now, I see more posters talk about buying their costume online than I see posters talk about making their costume, even when taking the help thread into account.

Are the people "critiquing" (or making fun of) cosplayers in the bad cosplay thread the same ones who buy their cosplays online? I'm led to believe this is indeed the case, based off posting patterns I've noticed on this board. Which is really ironic, and honestly, quite a bit hypocritical, given that they don't have the proper knowledge of sewing, foam work, pepakura, SFX, etc. required to formulate a reputable opinion, much less extensively criticize others' costumes.

I agree with this to an extent. I reckon buying cosplay and then shit-talking people that try and make their own is a petty thing to do, but valid criticisms can be made.

Obviously criticism from another person that makes their own stuff is going to be more valuable than criticism from some dipshit that bought their cosplay from ebay, but there are areas where knowledge of the craft isn't required give a bit of help

>I'm angry, obviously.

Had five different officials tell me that.

Just learn to cope with it, that kind of people DO NOT change and the only way to live with it is to go around the problem. I was lucky enough to find a good full time job before I started going in to debt, and now I put half in to savings and one quarter in to hobbies to stay mentally stable.

I dont hope my mother will turn things around, its not possible, I hope that one day my life will improve and that I will come out sane and whole again (if I ever was sane and whole though, I was essentially a Calvin as a kid).

Biggest issue at the present that I havent been able solve though, relationships. Maybe I have superficial standards, but I cant meet anyone who understands my life. I dont blame my country where 99% of all young people today get to avoid bad childhods, I think everyone deserve it and that they shouldnt be blamed for it, but its people like me who take the bullet for it, twice.

Your mom sounds more wacko than mine, and I sincerely hope things will get brighter for you soon. Focus on getting a job that pays well regardless of what it is. They say that money doesnt make you happy or that it drains your soul, but I feel a lot more happy and content with a stuffed bank account.

Repost since it got lost in the craziness:

I used to never exercise and now I've been faithfully doing it these past 3 weeks. But every time I attempt jogging, my knee and/or shin get injured and I have to take a week-long break. My sister keeps insisting I jog but when I explain it to her she brushes it off with a simple-minded "You just don't want to work hard!" and it pisses me off soooooo much. I know my limits and I will keep to them until I can safely and slowly push them farther. She tries to get me to exercise with her but I always refuse because she's on a different level. She's been exercising for 10 years and yet she expects me to match her pace. Even when I explain to her that it's irresponsible and unreasonable to expect that of me, she still doesn't take me seriously and tells me I'm being lazy.

Seriously, my sister can go screw herself.

Repost:

Sometimes I delude myself into thinking that I'm not as much of a weeb as I actually am. But then I'll read a manga and transform a part of my life because I'm so deeply affected by it. It's always a positive change, but GOD sometimes I am in no way redeemable in this weeby hell.

Example: read a food/cooking manga and suddenly I want to change the entire way I approach cooking by trying new things, going the extra mile, be unafraid of dirtying a ton of dishes so I can make a good meal, buying fresh groceries and not going my usual lazy route of frozen/canned, etc.

The two food/cooking manga I'm talking about are Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles and Shinmai Shimai no Futari Gohan. Hakumei & Mikochi made me want to make soap and other stuff. Yuru Camp made me set up a camping trip with friends.

I'm a guy who adores lolita and girly fashion. Would have loved to meet someone whom I could buy stuff for but I'm getting too old for that now and am doomed to die alone. I have long since accepted that fate and 'try' not to let it get to me. It's hitting me like a ton of bricks today though because it's my birthday. Every once in a while I cave into temptation and buy things like shoes dresses etc, but I'm not into crossdressing, I just like to have them around. I'd like to think I could have made a cosplayer real happy at one point in time, but instead it's gone to waste. Can't be helped I guess.

Ughhh I wish I still didn't live with my mom. For context I'm 21, waiting for recently graduated friends to save up, so it's not really a matter of laziness - got $12K saved up, I just want a friend roomie. I'm afraid to disturb the balance in the household by demanding her to get her nose out of my bank account or get a new one made and have her notice. Just got a tense talk on spending $380 on the Misty Sky MTO and to make matters worse three packages arrived day after day from Taobao/Wunderwelt/CC which only further represents my "wasteful spending". And now here comes that other coupon sale item from WW tomorrow, sigh... All the happiness of getting that good deal on an item I really needed for my wardrobe and wanted is gone.

I know this is all just because I'm too much of a pussy to get a new bank account and too afraid to create a stressful enviornment if I tell her to leave how I live life and choose to spend money alone. Being surrounded by friends with fun, accepting, nerdy families makes me so jealous...

Starting to stress out about a group cosplay that I'm in. Originally it was just going to be the three of us doing these costumes (Love Live!) but my friend started getting ambitious and invited some of our other friends in this group so that we'd have all nine girls.

The actual costumes aren't difficult in of themselves but there are a few members of this group that can't sew and are too large to simply buy the outfit off of Ebay. We haven't even started making them yet and the con is the first week of July.

The thought of being in this group is seriously killing any drive that I had to make this costume because I have a couple other cosplays to make for this con too so I'm definitely not in the mood to help these girls, yet I feel like I'd be shat on if I didn't by my friend group and I'm not strong enough to just tell them all to fuck off so I guess I'll just slowly die until after the con.

The more I learn about lolita fashion, the more it looks like a huge waste of money, tears, and time. You do you, get that dress that you want and all that. I won't try to stop you. But it just feels like there are so many more worthy things to put your resources into. I've played with the idea of becoming a really good seamstress and making a fashionable indie lolita brand to make bank off of, but even that sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

i'm so thankful that my family supports me wearing lolita. they've never once given me a problem with it and don't even flinch when i wear something a little OTT for running errands.

i'm so thankful that my boyfriend thinks i look cute in lolita and pays attention when i babble about new releases. he puts up with a lot.

i'm so thankful that i have a small group of friends i've met through wearing lolita. i'm thankful that they link me to auctions and sales posts that they think i'll like. it's a small thing but it reminds me that they're thinking of me.

i'm thankful that i'm able to wear the things that i want to wear with little to no negative repercussions. i've only had positive experiences in lolita.

I made a lot of really shitty choices when I was a teenager (shitty=I was abusive to a friend of mine at the time). Basically, I went through my angsty teenage years on top of being an ill-informed weeb with borderline and I treated my friend, H, and my other friends like shit ("why didn't you come to school today you're my only friend I guess you hate me I'm going to kms!!!11" and stuff like that). That friend and their other friends all dropped me, as expected, and I received a ton of death threats from them because of it. It caused a riff in my friend group, because they wanted to be friends with the both of us and I was okay with it, they were not and were also apparently dickish to them for other reasons, sent one of my friends death threats (for an unrelated reason), and dropped my other friends (we're still friends).

This was back in 2012/2013, I've since been to therapy and took time to myself to really try to fix my abusive tendencies, and I feel like I've made a difference. My therapist and outside people have all told me I'm different, so I must be doing something right?

I dropped cosplay because they were in the same comm, our shared friends were con friends and I was already having a bad time being around them. Well, like I said, that was years ago. I finally started to get back into cosplay this past summer and I joined a local cosplay club and have made a ton of friends I'm really close to already, as well as me meeting my new s/o there. They go to some of the meetings, maybe once a month tops, and just hang out with their established friend group. We don't acknowledge each other, which is expected and cool. We do have shared friends, and H and their one friend who blocked me on Facebook, both have my younger sister (who they talked to maybe once and just recently made an account) added on Facebook, but I'm trying to not think they have ill intentions after 5 years.

Then one of our shared friends came up to me the other day during a party and said "Hey anon, I've been meaning to talk to you about H. They were telling me some stuff about you and H is at this party so I wanted to know your side of things?" I told her that yes, what H said is true, but I was a teenager at the time and have been going to therapy and that I apologize for my past actions, but I've done a lot of hard work on myself and I feel like I've changed. She seemed pretty okay with the answer (I mean, I was still drunk at that point, so I couldn't tell), and was like "Yeah, that didn't sound like you, I wanted to hear your side of things, etc" and they haven't said anything after that, but I'm still worried. I feel guilty about the shitty things I did as a kid, but what REALLY pisses me off is that I can't be mad that they're doing stuff like tracking my sisters, the fact they were the ones that sent literal death threats, and the fact that they're still trying to defame me after 5 years, because I was a cunt 5 years ago. I was super afraid to join this club and be active and make friends because I was afraid H would start shit, and now here I am.

honestly, it sounds like your mom is just looking out for you.

just wait, when youre finally on your own with your own bank account and shit, youre going to end up spending all your savings away. then when you come across a time where you cant pay your bills for whatever reason, youre gonna take a good look around your room and realize all the pointless shit you have spent.

youre young, have money and just want to buy all these things to make you happy. everyone goes through that phase so I dont blame you. but one day, youre just gonna look at everything and probably regret most of the things you've bought.

I can't look cute in anything because of my giant fucking nose. I'm set on getting a nose job once I graduate with my bachelor's but by then I'll be in my mid 20s+. I usually cover it with my big glasses but there's only so much glasses can hide.

I finally got a cosplay gf.

Basically, I devised a system. I hired a morbidly obese chick from my school to hurl insults at girls in the park. When they were properly insulted, I'd swoop in and tell them they actually look great, and the mean fat was out of line. I repeated the process until one girl asked me to go to Wendy's with her.

Turns out she loves cosplay! We're going to be Dipper and Mabel at Momocon if anybody wants to say hi.

This attitude irks me a bit, you can buy your cosplay and still have an eye to see things wrong with a handmade cosplay. Is it kind of annoying they're saying something? Sure, but that doesn't invalidate their critiques. I was an art major (before I realized how stupid an idea that was) and the attitude of 'well if you don't do x then you can't criticize it!!' Is usually a sign of immaturity, to be quite honest. If you make your own cosplays or dresses concrit is the way to improve, both from people who understand garment construction and those who don't understand how to make clothes to give you the impression most people are getting from it.

Ignore your sister, if you want to start jogging without getting nasty shin splints and hip pins you need to just start walking a lot, walk for a few miles everyday. Start slow every time to loosen your legs up, if you start fast you'll get shin splints. Everyday you'll be able to go faster for longer with less cramping. If you need to stop and shake out your legs do it, don't keep walking with a cramp because you're embarrassed. In a few weeks time you'll be able to jog, but take it slow. After walking for an hour as a warmup do little bursts of jogging throughout your normal walk routine. As time goes on jog for longer and walk for shorter times.
Be patient with your body so you don't hurt it and you'll be a glorious gazelle soon.

.... Like what stuff did I do? I did a lot of stuff in cosplay (good market), had tons of cute lingerie, sex toys, and I put so much stuff in my ass. At first I only did strip shows and sent nudes to others because I didn't feel very comfortable in front of a camera. (NEVER negotiate on price with pictures or private videos, always do flat rates.) When I started doing things to myself naked then I REALLY started to make a decent amount of money.

Never had sex w the bf on camera, and I NEVER did scat, fart, or pee stuff.

I also had a tumblr and a snapchat as well.

A dress form, a large open wardrobe thing comprised of those squares that stack together for easy access to fabric and notions, a larger wall display for thread, another larger wall display for laces and trims, a rolly chair so you can zip around from table to table, large daylight lights so you can see exactly what the projects will look (and not be deceived by inferior yellow lighting), a rack to hang WIPs or when you need a circle skirt to hang. A tackle box/sewing caddy to hold tools, and then of course THE BOX filled with ditches fabric remnants, half finished projects, and discarded ideas.

Start off really slow, and get good lube! Really, do fingers first before putting a plug or anything in there. And drown anything you want to use in lube. And when you take whatever is in there out, do not pull it out with vigor, you can easily relax and slowly push it out.

It's not letting me quote the other anon, but YES, go be a live model for the art classes. They usually pay extremely well because nobody wants to do it, and it's a boring af job to do. Sum is here, go around your neighborhood to the old people and see who'll pay you to mow their lawn, say you're trying to pay for college and I'm sure they'll happily let you do little odd jobs. Poke around your jewelry for gold, then watch gold prices, its fluctuates almost daily and when there's a high point go to a 'WE BUY GOLD' place and sell it off.

My advice is don't do it when you're stressed or tense and try not to overthink things too much, your emotional state honestly affects things a ton. Also things that vibrate are much more pleasurable and easier to get in for a girl, since you don't have a prostate and there are barely any nerve endings inside so you really want to stimulate the opening.

They're really hard to sell unless you also send pictures of your face and yourself wearing them/masturbating in them, which could come back to bite you in the future. If you look at the sort of prices they sell for they're also barely worth anything unless you're a porn star, you have to wear them for a day but only make a few dollars profit on the cost of the panties themselves. It's barely profitable even as a sideline with a regular job, you'd never make $700 off it.

My university's psychology department does paid studies, most of them are only paid a few dollars/bullshit prize draw entries but some are $15 or much more. Mine has a mailing list to sign up for notifications about new ones and also posts them on a corkboard in the department - if you're living close to the uni anyway it's worth checking. I've also been using YouGov for three years and, unlike less-reputable sites, I do make money off spending 15 minutes of my time once every 3 days or so, but it takes me pretty much exactly a year to reach the payout threshold every time.

There are also ALWAYS film students near mind looking for film extras but it's mostly "Will give you beer and snacks!!" sort of bullshit where they won't even give you $10 for your time. Occasionally they do pay though. If you're in an area where they do a lot of filming, being a paid extra in real TV is actually a pretty good gig if you're unemployed because they pay you above min wage for every hour you're on set plus overtime so you usually end up with like 10 hours worth of regular pay out of it. Depending on the country you might have to pay to join an agency or an actors union though, which means it might not be worth it for you.

I'm 36. I try not to bring it up. All of my long time con-friends (going on over 10+ years) are all my age or a little older and we still do conventions and hang out both at cons and on a frequent basis if we live close enough.

That said, when I do meet people through cosplay or whatever, they are young. A good newer con friend of mine is just turning 21, we met a few years ago through mutual fandoms.

Other people I meet are often really young too or around that age. I'm also female and I generally look around that age. I do let people know, but I don't think they really care or find it too weird otherwise they'd probably be weirded out or avoid contact, and they're always adding me on social media and keeping in touch after the con is over. I let other people initiate that.

It only gets awkward really, when you're discussing everyday life things. I'm married, a home owner, with a stable salary-paid career, my own car, nearly paid off college loan, I can afford things. At 21 you're in college and can't do shit and don't even mention relationships. But con discussions don't always go that route, it's usually fandom, cosplay plans, whatever so I try to steer the discussion that way if I can just to avoid weirdness, and I don't really give out my age unless asked.
