She pinned the bow on upside down.

Lighting and angle are kinda wierd, sorry.

The shorts that it comes with are like dance shorts, they go just past my ass cheeks in the back, but ~2" below the bottom of my hip area in the front.

>>7477597
No, that's a Milanoo puppet store.

Their quality is shit and you could get much better on Taobao for less, with much better quality.

>TFW I still remember peoples' avatars after all this time


God damn it.

I have a few people added on facebook, and I still associate their name with their most common selfy.

>>7477154
Pretty much this.

"Hi can I offer for your ____?"

top of trade list in huge bold letters says, "YES YOU MAY OFFER FOR ANYTHING ON THIS LIST."

PLUS I had little heart markings on everything to determine how much I liked it, so people would know how much to bribe me. And then if I rejected a trade I'd get, "But it only had one heart!" as if that meant I'd take shit / junk for it.

And my wishlist was ALWAYS updated, I'd go on while I was at school and update everything while I was bored all day.

Some cuntrag left -10 feedback on my profile (the ONLY negative feedback I ever recieved) because she failed to read the two things in my about section on my trade shit, then I rejected her trade. i couldn't get the TMT staff to undo it either for some reason.

I think my favorite was always pathetic sad noobs telling me that my animate was worth 2 of their items because "They all cost the same to get!!!11" with no concept of the algorithms that determined that some items wouldn't show up as often, and no clue, apparently, how supply and demand work.

EEEEUGH ALL OF THIS. Dia was JUSt like this to me.

And then, on the rare occasion I wanted what she'd send me (and, okay, I had like thousands of items. Don't blame me for already having those two common as shit items you sent me) I'd send back usually more than fair trade and she'd decline, accusing me of lowballing?

No thank you. She had one of my dream items and I refused to get it from her even though she asked a reasonable amount, just because it was her.

People were so terrible about reading rules, especially for reserves. I ended up just not doing reserves anymore.

And my trade page was always outdated, and it was such a chore to update, I'd always get messages about things I no longer had, and then get chewed out for saying, "sorry, it's gone."

I ended up erasing everything and only listing my animates to simplify. No wish list? Picky? No trade.

OH NOOOOOO
I found the weebly that Fayoka and I created for ordering art of our OCs since we had so many.

Which means I found caps of all my old avatars because this is the only shit I ever wore lol.

This one was my favorite, though. His name is X, and he's a ~super edgy~ demon who doesn't fit in with the other demons because he gets along with humans.

What the actual fuck was wrong with me.

>>7477096
Ohh! I remember doing a shot like that too. I actually remember that avatar of yours, and kye was a pretty good friend of mine too. Dia was... well, I remember her, but not fondly.

She always asked me for trades and tried to rip me off, then got pissy when I actually knew the value of my own items.

>>7477066
The only cap I have left, my best friend from before and I cosplaying as our respective husbandos.

We were such pathetic weebs, but damn do I miss it.

She was Fayoka, don't know if you knew her at all. She mostly hung out on the art groups doing commissions.

>>7477066
Damn, you have a similar style to how I dressed.

I left my avatar mostly the same for quite some time and just collected items, and it was really similar to that.

I also really liked dressing up my selfy as my OCs, which I'm a little ashamed of, but I just liked their designs so much and it gave me inspiration for new outfits for them.

>>7477057
I would always order art from someone woith great refs, and then it would be shitty as hell.

But I just paid up anyway because I felt bad. I only ever saved a few of the things I commissioned, but I did get some really great stuff. A closer friend drew a really great picture of me IRL once, that was really nice.

>>7477053
>warm knit scarf

The one thing I never got my hands on that I really wanted.

I lusted after Cool Honey Boy forever too, but I finally got it RIGHT before shutdown. I got it pretty cheap since the trade market got a little hectic at the end.

I was always hoping for a red version of happy grin, but it never happened.

>>7477031
I'm in Pennsylvania, so not too far off.

I go to Katsucon and this tiny con in State College, so I don't know if you'd ever really go to one of those from New York.

I'd really like to go to NYAF or NYCC sometime but I just never have the money.

>>7477030
I remember Dirk, yeah.

My friend and I bonded over crappy RPs on TM, so we tried to move them to skype and facebook chat, but it just made us sad so we stopped.

>>7477041
Ugh, i did that too. I ripped off people like mad.

But at the same time, when I really wanted something, I overpayed like a mofo. Didn't even curr.

I think I payed like... 3 complete sheets and 7 popular / expensive animots for one of the unpopular AX items. Way too much, but I really wanted it.

>>7477008
>5'8" an 110 is unhealthy

Please just stop with this shit.

As much as big girls don't want to be told they're unhealthy, neither do tiny girls.

I'm 5'5" and 98 lbs, and there's subjectively nothing wrong with me. I eat a normal amount of food, don't exercise too much, it's just how I am, and there are a decent amount of girls just like that.

It feels just as bad as being called a whale to be called anorexic, or bulimic, or "holocaust victim." Don't make yourself feel better by making someone else feel like shit. Be better than the people who do that to you.

Sage for unrelated, but damn that really grinds my gears.

>>7477010
Oh! And you were definitely on my friends list. I remember seeing you post diaries rather often.

>>7477021
YOOOO.

I never run into people I knew when TinierMe comes up, and now it's two in one thread. Damn.


Sort of related, I met my best friend on TM, and then she moved to my hometown for college and we go to cons together once a year. TinierMe was the best thing.

>>7477010
I was a complete cunt to noobs who came begging to me.

I traded my way up (despite having spent so much, I only spent ~$5 a month usually, unless there was a gacha I really loved) and didn't ever really beg, so I was a total asshole when someone would see me wearing some semi-rare item and start begging.

I really loved the fashion show rooms, though, and I'd always make sure to give out really nice prizes to winners there. Balance, I guess?

I have a sort of gambling problem, so spending a lot on a gacha was just bad. I eventually got myself under control and only played gachas that I knew would have high trade value, since I had enough fodder to get mostly anything I wanted later anyway.

I felt like such a prick with all my items hoarded in my inventory, but there were just things I could never let go of, even if I literally never wore them.

>>7477002
Where are you going to college?

I feel really similar to you. I've started talking to some people via email, and just stopped because I'm so awful at friend making.

If you're moving near me, maybe we can meet up at some conventions and be awkward near each other?

(I went to the /cgl/ met at Katsucon and left without saying anything to anyone because I wasn't sure if it was the right people even though I heard them talking about it. I was really looking forward to meeting some seagulls, too, I just couldn't bring myself to say Hi.)

Sage for double post.

>>7476998
That's okay, honestly.

Most people at anime cons do not give a shit if you cosplay vidya characters, especially if you do it well.

Oh well. Just a suggestion. I can't really think of any other specific characters, but things similar would be your best bet. I completely understand the KP dilemma, I've got it all over my legs and I'm terrified for shorts and bikini weather because I can't cover it up with tights forever.

>>7476993
>I often wonder what a lot of these little 20 somethings are going to do when it hits and they gain 20-30 pounds.

Rejoice, because we can finally look like we're not anorexic / holocaust survivors.

Some girls would die for that, just like some girls would die to have their ribs sticking out.

>>7476961
Pls cosplay Zer0 and do an actually good job on it.

It's a skintight bodysuit, so you can cover everything but still show off your bod, and if it's done well it will be one of very few that I've seen.

I also have a huge ladyboner for him.

>>7476962
The first Arcane gacha they had.

$100 trying to get the death card animot

Only got one, but it WAS the red x black color that I wanted so... small win? It was my first money spent on GC, birthday Visa gift card, and holy shit was that a slippery slope.

I think I may have spent ~$20 of it on some other gacha that was out at the time as well, but I still only managed one animot combined.

Your name sounds vaguely familiar, though.

I was... a few people over the years.

faixkuromekyo (Ohhh 9th grade.)
From that most people started calling me Kuro, so it sort of became my online nickname.
So then I was i K u r o.

Most people probably just knew me as Kuro, though.

>>7476931
My friend.

I probably spent upwards of $500 on there between May 2010 and the announcement of shut down.

I feel awful having spent that much, but only because everything is just gone now. My SO is getting an iPhone soon, so maybe I'll have to hijack it to try out that app.

Just.

6,000 + items down the toilet.

What was your UN? Maybe I knew you. I traded a LOT and was in rooms a lot of the time.

>>7476792
I forced him to start actually taking care of his face and hair (lotion, proper shampoo and conditioner, etc.), and since then he's always asking me about other things he can do to make his skin nice, so any time I leave a good chapstick there, it's gone.

He always buys me a new one though, which is good because those Eos aren't fucking cheap.
