/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>tfw teenagers keep spamming the lolita fashion tag on tumblr with ddlg bullshit
Yes I'm mad

>usually wear black
>really in the mood to bust out the pastels for a change
>period started today
Fuck.

>tfw my hobbies are populated by feminine people
>tfw feminine people tend to be passive-aggressive and encode every action with a world of hidden meaning

If you are in the EGL or crafting communities and you say what you mean, and mean what you say, and don't calculate everything you do to elicit specific responses from others, and don't "drop hints" and then get upset when nobody takes them... Thank you for existing.

If the above fits you and you are also not a judgmental "I'm just being honest" shit-stirrer, double thank you and please continue to exist.

I wish there was a nice way to tell someone "having your baby/toddler drooling and farting all over your table is not as compelling of a draw as you think it is". A friend of mine brings her baby every time she tables with me and I'm so fucking tired of it. Her reasoning is "people love cute things so he'll draw people over and they'll buy more stuff! xD"

I go out of my way to avoid all children <16 at a con and nothing makes me avoid an artist's table more than their crotchfruit hanging around/on their stall. How people still think it's acceptable to bring young kids to a con is beyond me, ESPECIALLY if you have to stay all day tabling.

>California con season starting
>get badge and try to get hotel for ax
>fail
>thats ok, i can still try for comic-con and fail then go to fanime
>fail getting comic-con badge, fail getting room
>atleast there's fanime
>get badge, hotels sell out

so i've spent maybe 120 bucks on cons already and have no chance of attending without getting super creative with hostels, scalpers, airport hotels and roomie whoring.

2016's been hard.

Welp.
I can either be alone again.
Or I can let my half life long dream die.

It really sucks. I can't even bring myself to break up early and spare myself some pain because I just adore him.
