So I'm going into the military and now that I'll be able to have money and a car I want to go to more conventions, only been to one.
However I'm a bit worried about them finding out my shit, I am a dude and I don't know how common it would be to have costumes just hanging in my closet. I know that people do room searches and I don't want to be embarrassed.

Have been trying to put in an effort to talk to more randoms at cons, usually exchange insta/snap/fb with these people but I haven't really made any real friends yet, or at least anyone that I really enjoy talking to past tolerating them and I've talked to so many people within this last year. This is starting to get really tiring and discouraging. I'm guessing I'm somewhat likeable though as they do ask to chill at cons and I now hang out with those who live close by.

I don't even remember the last time I had a genuinely fun time or conversation, period.

Natsuki;

I'm glad you're done feigning friendship with me; for both of our sakes. It was always clear to me that you were only capable of fair weather friendship and secret complaint--I was never emotionally invested to show for it.

I hope you can find friends who are more tolerable of your use and abuse; or that you grow to become more than the needy child who assumes herself to have an all seeing eye and infallible judgement. Your vision was comically foggy; but you did let me know about someone i didn't realize i'd hurt; and im glad i was able to apologize to them as a result of your tantrum. I find no reason to apologize for my transparency about my mental health, especially sinceit garnered you cutting ties.

All in all, you've given yourself more trouble than you realize by waiting this long. Your life is inexorably marked by our interactions--for example, I hope you don't associate your tattoo with me; so you can still enjoy it without the pangs of your hatred towards me. It's good that you got solo Natsuki photographs at the group shoot; since you chose to walk away from Sayori, too... I wonder if you and Yuri will remain friends?

I won't lie and say that i'll miss you; or that i care that you're gone. I will admit, I am surprised it was you who decided to cut ties in the end. It is convenient though; as those who are able to be fooled by your manufactured narrative will surely follow along with you.

I hope you find happiness, and something real to hold on to.

All the best,
Monika

Just gotta say, this is some bullshit. If you've been with someone for that long, anything which is clearly effecting you to that degree BECOMES your partner's business. That's what 'partners' means. Your happiness and wellbeing is always going to be important to your partner and it's the most basic, important thing to include them in.

Either he is fucking around behind your back and doesn't respect you, or he really is just going through some shit and doesn't understand how to deal with a relationships like an adult. Give him the benefit of the doubt and let him know why it's important to talk to you.

Hey anon, I also dated someone like this. Long term, almost a decade together. I spent a lot of time anxious about what I did/didn't do, crying, and frustrated. Like you, I could be crying right next to him and he'd ignore it or at most sigh and complain about how he's not going to "indulge this behavior" anymore. I ended up breaking it off with him because, while I did catch him cheating a couple times, more than that I just felt like I was in this incredibly toxic dependence on him and being neglected emotionally. I took the lessons I learned both as a result of his behavior and my own and tried to do much better and be open and level-headed in future relationships, and now I've been in a long-term one that is much healthier and more emotionally stable. I'm not trying to say "gooooorl dump his ass" but you need to evaluate what the issues are from both perspectives and if this is something you can resolve or if it's something you can only learn from. Good luck anon.

It's just an excuse to garner authority over people and feel good because the victim can never be wrong and any punishment given should reflect the damage upon the victim. So the more victimised they act, the more power they have to hurt others.

He cheated on you and you stayed with him???? What is it about you gulls that makes you afraid to just leave someone if they aren’t treating you well.

Today at work we got an email from HR about the some Halloween crap and a costume contest they're going to have at work. My company has been on a teamwork kick recently and suggested every department pick a theme for costumes. This made me groan because everyone in my department knows I do conventions and cosplay at this point. So to try and nip it in the bud, I send out the following message.

A: I am not making ANYONE'S costume for them. B: I'm not going to participate in this C: Any inquiries about costumes will be done on company time. Don't talk to me about this during lunch/breaks.

So of course there's immediately a message from someone who has a wonderful idea that they think EVERYONE needs to participate in. I send them a qm to tell them that no one is actually going to do any work and is going to sluff off whatever to the few people actually interested in the idea and expect costumes to be made for them. So yeah, I get told that I'm being "negative." Not to mention that the costume contest has traditionally been an ass kissing contest where company VPs get awards while putting in minimal effort with store-bought costumes despite having more money to spend than us working people. Seriously. NOT INTERESTED. Over the day I get people asking if I can make their costume for them or why don't I want to participate when I make such good costumes. People just don't understand that I'm a professional who makes more money than I would as a costumer. This is my hobby and I do it for fun. You're trying to make me work for work outside of work hours.

he says it's mainly toward anime girls and he would never do anything to any real girl. also said he used to be kinda into loli and the likes because he just loves petite bodies and being with me (having a similar body type and being small) fueled it.
i know he feels bad about it but i'm feeling sick in my stomach to know he had a boner from a dream about a 14yo looking girl rubbing on him. he was perfect,he even supported me cosplaying and went to cons with me but now i just don't know.

See... It’s not so much accuracy, but that every skin colour should be considered ‘standard’. For example, white people cosplaying anime characters with Asian names are somewhat inaccurate since they do not look Asian. But it’s still acceptable because the features they are born with are ‘standardized’; we still recognize them as the character they’re cosplaying. We won’t describe the cosplay as ‘White Sakura Haruno’, it’ll just be ‘Sakura Haruno’.

Another analogy could be noses. Some characters are depicated with small nose (or no nose). If someone with a big beak nose cosplayed them, their nose would might not be accurate but it would still be ‘standardized’. So no ‘Big Nose Sailor Uranus’ or whatever, just ‘Sailor Uranus’.

The same courtesy should be awarded to darker skin cosplayers imo. If they decide to cosplay a character, they shouldn’t have to jump through loops to be considered as cosplaying as X character (vs cosplaying as Black AU version of said character). By darkening your own skintone beyond your natural range is just adding on to the idea that skin tone is a thing that people shouldn’t suspend their disbelief over. My opinion would probably change if the global culture changes (so if skin tone has the same cultural baggage as eye colour, then you can go ham and do what you want).

We absolutely would describe it as 'White X', if the character in question had dark skin.

These two get it. If you take on extra work, people will just keep dumping more on you until you can't handle it anymore. Right now in my department we've recently had 5 people leave, two project leads and 3 L3s. That makes zero L3s and Project Leads for 3 months and no one getting promoted into the position but doing the work for less pay. Today in the team meeting the department head said we were handling workflow fine and didn't need any new hires to our department. So I'll be looking for a new job. The costume thing just helped me realize how bad my mental state was getting working there.

Yeah. I'm not going to use the term POC because it's not so much a person's race/ethnicity that the cosplay community discriminates on, but skin colour (Asians are POC, but are almost revered by the community). But yeah, I agree, I really hate it when dark-skinned cosplayers get boosted, but it turns out to be some shitty closet cosplay. It's like they got traction only because SJWs wanted to feel good about themselves. Performative 'wokeness' is pretty gross and make people look like fetishists.

On the other hand, it's also dumb to play "I don't see race, I only see skills" because black/brown cosplayers objectively get less attention than their peers. It takes effort and time to build up your craftmanship, but if you get no feedback for your efforts then you're more prone to quitting. It's not a matter of laziness, just being realistic about what you spend your time on. The reality is that attractiveness plays a big part of how good people perceive your cosplay as and how much people interact with you on social media. If you want more good POC cosplayers, then you should encourage the newbies who have potential. But alas, among the sea of newbies with similar skill levels, even I would rather follow the ones whom I found more attractive.

>>9992807
Genderbents are different. That's people willingly doing an AU version because they think it'll suit them better. If you want to talk gender, then let's talk about crossplay. Generally, people who crossplay want to be perceived as said character and not X version of said character.

>We absolutely would describe it as 'White X', if the character in question had dark skin.
Which sucks and is counterproductive, imo. Though I believe the reason for this stems more from the fact that there are very little characters with dark skin in the media and blackness often portrayed as a 'special trait' kinda. If the character is standard enough (like Casca from Berserk), then no one really calls it 'White X'.

I had the opposite situation. I was with someone for 5 years, and we never used condoms. I started finding condoms in their nightstand. I tried ignoring it, but that only came back to haunt me.

On an unrelated note, I really like a guy right now, but they like sexy women. I'm over here in baggy shirts and thigh highs. I mean, I'm not changing the way I dress just to appease them, but damn... huh. I need to lay on the sex appeal, but I instead just look like a pink marshmallow.

Sounds like you may have time until then, right?

ESL means you speak English as a second language. You would do well to check in with >>9993373 advising you to read more about 'singular they'.

However, that would be giving myself too much credit. 'They/their/them' is commonly used among speakers in the Southeastern United States, especially among rural populations (e.g. "Did Bob come over?" "Yeah, they stopped by to pick up their textbook earlier."). It's a regional dialect thing. That's not really important, but it's something to remember if you do have to speak with people from that part of the U.S or when reading literature.

The anon in >>9993673 is right. It involves information outlined in the sticky. /cgl/ use to be really bad for picking on particular people, keeping up with e-drama, and that sort of thing. In fact, sometimes people would get doxxed as a result. So, the mods had enough, and decided that discussing the personal lives of singular people was no longer allowed on /cgl/. You can discuss anything related to fashion regarding a singular person, but no more gossip about people's personal lives. So, therefore, lolcow was born from those people who wanted a place to gossip about people's personal lives.

>Felt the best in long time while experimenting with something new in lolita
>Got tons of positive attention including some males and especially one I was super flattered and amazed about (not because I would be interested in him)

>As disinterested as he could be
>Games loudly late despite knowing I'm tired and have to get up early
Idk why I'm so disappointed. I'm probably too tired but fuck I'm so sad. Yet he is wondering why I'm not silently sitting on the other end of the couch while he watches some anime I haven't seen half of.

jesus, why are half the relationship posts here like ‘my bf ignores my feelings and/or openly mocks the things i like and im utterly miserable, cant dump him tho’? is there a single straight bitch on this board who ISN’T emotionally dependent on a shit-tier normie man?

>She dissapears

Is it weird for a guy to be into lolita/jfash and want to be friends with people who wear it? I just think it's really cool fashion. I'm not a fucking loser who think's it's fetish stuff or "sexy". I just don't want to come off the wrong way.

Not weird at all. Next time you see a lolita in public just approach her, assuming she's not busy. Be polite and asses the situation before you talk to her to make sure that it's fine, and you'll be okay.
>Excuse me, hi, sorry to bother you, I just wanted to say your coord is lovely, you look beautiful, I love lolita fashion
You don't have to say all of this but this is a good way to approach us, at least in my opinion. Yes, use the word "coord" and namedrop the fashion, namedrop the brand she's wearing too if you recognize it. You may not immediately make a friend out of an encounter like this but you won't come across as creepy if you just say something nice and make it clear you recognize the fashion for what it is.

Side note, I live an insanely far distance from campus now (1 hour commute each way) and the only thing that keeps me going is the thought of th $1200 I save over these 4 months.

Alright thanks, I've only seen a couple not at cons but I love seeing people do it confidently in public. I really wish I saw more people with it but I have no idea if there's even a comm in my college's area. It really is lovely fashion, and it honestly is so cool to me seeing people wear it.

Not just this board, its everywhere. Its unbelievable common for these people to think "well, maybe if we have a baby, he will start loving me more!". They just like being with abusive people I guess.
