I have so many cosplays I wanna do before I'm geriatric but I just feel so... unmotivated. I enjoy finding and ordering supplies/materials, pouring through guides on how to make things, and planning out the exact construction process, but when it comes to actually doing things I just don't have the energy.

I'm not a lazy person at all, like I'll get up and do a ton of other things, I just can't bring myself to work on cosplays. Maybe it's some subconscious fear of imperfection? Idk.

There are, but like I said - taking an extra hour to or so for hair and makeup doesn't seem worth it when i only have a few classes for the day and i could spend that extra time getting some more sleep or study in. Which is essentially what happens when I plan to look cute or even do makeup - i end up sleeping a little extra or just saying fuck it and doing work in that time.

I know if i really wanted to i'd make the time and effort - but I just wanna whine about it first :--)

[Anonymous No.9614893]

>>9614882
No, I get it. I will say dressing cute for class is great if you need a little extra boost, though. I found when I spent an extra twenty minutes getting dressed before a test instead of sleeping or cramming that littl extra but of review in I did so much better. By that point, half the battle is confidence. Good luck and have fun no matter what you do!

Because of last minute cosplays, I made the most ill-fitting turtleneck shirts especially around the shoulders so I'm kinda disappointed in myself but I'll still wear them. I also made one for my SO who lives across the border, so I had to base the pattern from one of his t-shirts. I hope it'll fit... I'm afraid the turtleneck part will show a significant difference too as mine turned out snugger around the neck while his appears looser. I dunno, will see tomorrow when I'm across the border.

Trying to think on the positive side that they can get adjusted later, and last minute cosplays are last minute cosplays. I just don't have time to adjust them now since I gotta get going and packing.

I should also add that reportedly, my maternal aunt had the same problem from the start of puberty. She apparently was visually disproportionate and there was no real reason for it, it was just how it went. Like I know all women are kind of uneven, but she was, you knoe, oO kinda ordeal going on. My mother used to say when I was starting puberty that if I was as uneven as my aunt, she'd take me in for plastic surgery, cos she'd rather have a daughter with implants than one with ugly boobs. Good news is, my mom is dead and not here to see them now...

NAYRT, but when I went on AD/HD meds it seriously fucked with my depression and I was miserable. On top of that, I use hyper focusing as a skill so while I was able to focus better at will, I lost the ability to squeeze 10 hours worth of work into 2 like some coked up Harvard Law student trying to make journal which was No Fun. For me it's easier to manage it med free, but it's everyone's choice.

>still a little sad because I haven't even managed to wear all my summer dresses while it was warm (some were in storage and I couldn't go get them)

I kind of want to sell some of them because they're just taking up space and I could buy winter stuff with the money, but nobody else wants to buy lightweight sailor OPs and gingham berry prints at this time of year either. Plus even though I've got an image of myself looking all cute bundled up, most of winter will probably be pissing rain that will be miserable even in wool and fur, so if I buy a bunch more wintry pieces I likely won't have enough opportunities to wear them all.

Someone's bitter. Chances are, your cosplay is not nearly as impressive as you think. Whenever I go to a con, the draw dropping male cosplay can't walk for feet while the sad taobao + boob girls only have a few orbiters. You might get less attention than them, but it's likely because you have mediocre cosplays and aren't hot enough to convince people talking to you is worth it

Couldn't find a related thread and it'd be dumb if I made one myself, so I'll throw my question out here:

For anyone who has been to a formal at a con before, what should I expect and how strict are the clothing requirements usually? I may be going to one during a con next week, but there's no information posted about it anywhere, so I just want to know what advice others might have to share?

As for feels:
>will be doing cosplans with a major qt
>what was going to be hanging out at the con and doing one cosplay together turned into a weekend long date
>we're doing to do tons of cute poses and just do sweet couple things

My sister and I cosplay with a couple of our guy friends. Last con we went to, the guys didn't want to make anything, so my sister and I ended up ordering a group cosplay to do together. We did all the measurements and ordering for them and actually had to help them put on their own cosplays (which I get, these were a bit more complicated). We also had to style their wigs for them and we had to convince them to let us do their make up for them.
We got a good amount of photos but they still got sulky when people wanted photos of the props we made for our characters when they didn't bother to. They got extra grumpy when a photog wanted to take additional individual shots and they didn't want to take any more photos and complained until we agreed to go back to the hotel room.

I'm still salty about it. Kinda ruined the con for me when they get sulky. It just makes it seem like they don't even like going to cons/cosplay.

Gotta hope that was her buying it but since nothing else I ordered at the same time has been marked sold, even the stuff that sellers had marked "immediate purchase okay", I think it must have been somebody else. Can't believe FJ took a week to cancel the order and I didn't even notice, I should have just asked Tenshi to begin with.

Like >>9616660 said, I can think of literally no-one that is more open/welcoming to it here than they would be in another hobby, but I am biased coming from a lolita/jfash background as well as a cosplay one, the de facto community that is terrified of being lumped in with ageplayers because the public already think we're dressing to attract pedophiles (although there are a lot of edgy tumblr "no kinkshaming" jfash wearers, but they're HATED by the rest of the community in a way they wouldn't be in the regular old goth scene, or IDK, steampunk or some shit).

Maybe it's easier to get by with cosplay-specific people, but there's a lot of overlap. Girls into lolita and jfash tend to be more aware and hostile to ageplayers than normies are as a result of being exposed to more of their bullshit. Speaking for myself, before I got into lolita my vague knowledge of sissies and "adult babies" just led me to think it was an extremely weird and rare but sort of harmless fetish, but having met so predatory sissies and trendy ageplayers fucking with actual underage kids and glorifying abuse I now absolutely hate them, and can't help but feel prejudiced about someone when I find out someone has those kinks.

I mean, you do you, non-DDLG diaper fetishist, I just wouldn't go telling random people at cons about it, because any "awareness" raised by the DDLG community is more likely to be negative than positive. If someone clocks you as wearing a diaper you can always act embarrassed and say you suffer from adult incontinence or w/e.

I'm not even 20 yet, so I have a while to figure out what I want to do with my life, but it feels like time's running out. I'm wasting my time on lolita and cosplay when I could be doing something productive but I don't know what. I get good enough grades, but I lack the necessary social skills/finesse and dislike what I'm studying. I know I'm not smart enough to succeed in STEM or anything related, either.

yeah, by being self-motivated and effecting positive change, ,eds are only necessary in EXTREME cases.

“The prominent belief at the dawn of the new millennium is that unhappiness is simply a biological condition to be remedied with the right balance of prescribed chemicals. There is still no commonly accepted acknowledgement of the severity of women’s dissatisfaction; of the inadequacy of consumer goods as the primary source of fulfillment; of the sense of being torn between family, independence, community, responsibility, passions. Psychiatry still encourages adaptation—not resistance—to poverty, racism and job exploitation. The goal is to chemically adjust the individual to the existing society, not to empower the individual to change society to provide themselves and those around them with a healthier, happier existence.”

I just needed a platform to vent about this, because I feel like there no one in the group I can safely express myself with that won't eventually make it awkward for everyone else. Esp. since I do want to stay in this discord despite some of the emotional distress.

For a while the only way I was getting calories was alcohol but I've managed to slow that down and get a healthier diet during the week, satisfying alcohol requirements on the weekend by going full Misato.

>About a month ago I mention to a relative that I'm going to a convention
>She asks what it's for, and I hesitantly reply that it's a comic convention (it was Otakon, but I wasn't ready to bring up anime)
>She tells me that she has a nephew that's into the same things as me
>HOLYSHIT.JPG
>All of my excitement. Finally, a relative to relate to!!!!!
>She tells me about his achievements, and I find out that he's one of the best male cosplayers out there
>EXTRAHOLYSHIT.JPG

I'm so excited! I got his number and we began conversing. He's so nice and does amazing work! He sends me updates on his cosplay stuff, which is awesome because it's hard for me to develop relationships with people and I actually feel like somebody is putting in the effort to be my friend >//w\\<
I'm probably going to meet him for the first time this Friday! I'm so happy!

Congrats anon. That is a happy feel.

Congrats anon, that's really awesome! I can totally relate and I know how awesome it is finding out a relative is also into conventions and stuff:

>Go to family reunion late july
>See that my uncle who I'm meeting for the first time is wearing a shirt with a familiar symbol
>It's the fucking hidden leaf village sign from Naruto
>"Soooo, are your grandkids into anime I'm guessing, given your shirt?"
>"Nope, but I am! Same thing as Cowboy bebop, Space Dandy, Jojo, etc."
>Turns out my Uncle also cosplays and goes to conventions for years now
>We shoot the shit talking about con stuff, swap pictures, add each other on facebook, etc.
>He's looking to get his wife into cosplaying with him soon too, and she's really receptive about it.

My only regret is that I wish we had met earlier than this past summer

Random question for you though anon since you mentioned this weekend, are you two going to Colossalcon East since it's on Friday?

[Anonymous No.9620717]

>>9620568
Yeah we are c: are you going?

[Anonymous No.9620739]

>>9620717
Yeah, I am! I'm going to be going with another cosplayer I've gotten really close with since Otakon, so it's going to be a date weekend for us, and we're both super excited! So I hope that everything goes great for you and your friend have an awesome time too (the waterpark looks amazing from what I saw)! c:

I lie and say I'm okay with non-binary genders, but in reality I think its just a dumb fad for young teen/adults. A lot of my cosplay friends are nb and it makes me cringe but I continue to use they/them pronouns because I feel like an asshole if I don't.

>make sure that a sufficient level of peer group pressure is attained before asking her out

Man, that sure takes me back.

tfw your friend get a semi colon tattoo in an obvious place because she survives being sexually assaulted by her boyfriend.
try to be supportive thinking she is going to break up with him.
Years later and is still with him and talk about getting married.
wtf? didn't he sexually abuse you.
"Oh anon I can't even watch rape scene as they trigger me."
but fucking your abuser dosesn't?


I hate that she is now using this as a way to gain attention with her shit cosplay. She wore rose quartz at our last con and everyone kept calling her the semi colon rose quartz and feeling sorry for her.

Eh, see it as getting paid for keeing the numbingly boring and unproductive shit off the team.

I just had a buyer cancel on me after holding it for more than a week. It was a high cost item and I really could have used the money right now. I should have asked for a non refundable deposit but was too lazy to get it done.

I'm not sure if I should leave negative or neutral feedback. I'm not sure if it would be too extreme to leave a scathing review but I'm pissed that my time was wasted.
