/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Just found out that "CGL" can mean "Caregiver/Little"

Lolitas will never lose our DDLG reputation.

I developed a crush on a girl I met at a con who lives in another country.

>commissioned my friend to draw something for me
>she sends me beautiful sketch wips
>say I love it
>the picture finally arrives
>mfw she's haphazardly ruined it with glitter paint
I want to fucking cry.

>get crush on girl in my little sister's comm
>find out she has a tattoo that says "Daddy bought it. I earned it!"

>Be me 3 years ago
>Be lonelita but no one's a dick about it really
>Nice quiet life, honestly living the ideal
>Go grocery shopping
>See cousin I haven't seen outside of family events for like five years
>"Hey anon what are you wearing?"
>It's not even anything that attention seeking, just a classic jsk with a cutsew underneath because I'm just running errands who cares
>Just joke "uh clothes lol" and try to ask about how his job is
>"Is it like a fetish thing? Is it a joke?"
>I brush him off and try to leave as nicely as I can
>This continues really loudly for like eight minutes
>He follows me around the store
>People are staring
>A lot
>Meanwhile I'm rushing to leave with as few groceries as I can
>Finally actually able to say goodbye and gtfo
>Find out later that night he's posting on facebook about it with pics of me I didn't know he took
He still brings up my "weird fetish clothes" every single time we're forced to interact since, even when I'm in normie garb. All in all I'd probably be fine with it if he was like his brother and this was all because he's a mouth breather shut-in who can't socialize but no he's just a dick.

>Had sex with my con buddy some odd 6 years ago in college
>Was really rad but we agreed to not do it again since it was heat of the moment kind of fling and she had a bf (I didn't know about caus apparently he doesn't like her telling people? We were friends for like 8 months by this point)
>ok feel kinda used but whatever, not like I lost my virginity to you and thought it was more special than that
>Fast forward to now
>She talks to me occasionally now and then online but lives across the country
>Visiting here for a con at the end of this year
>Because I'm a local she just wants to crash at my place like the good ol days and walk around as an awkward duo
>She implies she wants a casual fling since we live across the country so won't see each other for a long while again
>Tempted because I'm lonely
>Haven't been with anybody since those 6 yeas ago, she did more of a number on my confidence than she realizes
>I've been approached by girls and am told I'm attractive by a lot of them but for some reason I'm stupid and can't fall for girls other than my old con friend

Life fucking sucks. I'm pretty sure somewhere along the lines she unintentionally did some psychological fuckery with me because I literally haven't had romantic or sexual feelings for any other girl, and here she comes prancing along again years later to use me as her boytoy and I'm in no position to say no because she's the closest thing I've ever had to intimacy even if we could never work in a relationship. We're both adults anchored into our own different lives on opposite coasts of the country. I probably shouldn't feel guilty - we're both adults and just going to have a night of fun, but I guess I feel like I'm only doing it because I've gained some unhealthy obsession with her or something.

Life really sucks.

>March
>be rich
>decide to pre-order a Figma

>tfw you're finally ready to ask out your con crush, but now he's dating a popular cos-girl

They aren't Facebook official, but still, I missed that train.

>been out of college for five years
>friends are all successful artists
>I'm a drone, making grocery store catalogs

But... at least my cosplay is better than theirs, right??!

I should kill myself.

Share those cgl-related feels. The good, the bad, and the ita.

>having a good day off
>almost done with my cosplay sword
>parents call me
>somebody we met last year, who we'd come to accept as one of the family, betrayed us in a big way
>basically, she's trying to take advantage of my disabled sister - too personal for cgl

I feel so fucking sick. I was so stoked on my cosplay, ready to see my friends, and now my spirit is just broken. Why is the world so full of shitty people?

>take a long as time deciding what cute clothes i'll treat myself to
>find tons of stuff on dreamybows
>located in uk
>no import taxes
>accept paypal
>my lack of a creditcard finally won't be in my way
>try to pay with paypal
>automatically sends me to an "add creditcard" page
>fuck

>Be me at 16
>Have a friend who does this
>I really don't care
>We're at a sleepover
>Shaving bed caus ~we're both girls~ so no reason to sleep on the hard floor
>Feel her groping me under my shirt when she thinks I'm asleep
>Pretend to be asleep because nervous and uncomfortable
>It goes on for about 10 minutes before I feel a tear roll down my face and squirm my legs to scare her off me
>She BITES MY NECK
>Let out a yelp
>"TEHEHE, I HAD A DREAM YOU WERE SUSHI!!!"
>Call my dad to take me home at 4 in the morning
>She acts like nothing happened the next week
>Still to this day feel uneasy sleeping with anyone
>tfw now 20 years old, dating a really nice guy, but can't sleep in the same bed as him

>tfw I passed the vag inspection, but failed my butthole exam

What does /cgl/ think about people cosplaying from something they don't like? Is it ever okay?

There's a character I really like from a show I don't and I would love to cosplay them but I'm unsure if I should or if people would look down on me for it.

>>9244281
I will keep an eye out for it

somehow my heart is racing thinking about it

it's the same feeling as when AP releases a gem

thrilling

Oh god, there's even more.

I've recently moved back i with my folks for the past 2 weeks to prepare for a family event, and here are some of my stories.

>parents don't know that I crossdress because we have a "don't ask, don't tell" sort of mentality about our lives
>Since they're old-fashioned, I feel that they'd just assume I was gay, and I see no need to deal with that, so I hide the few clothes I did bring home
>I often wear them around when my parents are gone, it's my main form of relaxation around here
>But recently some of the neighbours have been told to come over whenever, since they've literally only got a bed to sleep in.
I feel bad for them, I really do, but goddamn, don't show up every day for the whole day.
>I'm just doing household chores and other house work, while my mother's getting medical shit done, and I hear one of those neighbours talking on our phone.
>she's bitching with a friend about stupid things, and then they start bitching about gay people, and crossdressers, and how they're grossly unnatural
>immediately sneak most of my clothes to the car, they're no longer safe in the house
>come back inside, she's in my bedroom, rooting through my dresser
>pulls out a pair of thigh highs
>starts freaking about how I'm a pervert, and I must've stolen them, and she's threatening to call the police, and all that shit
>go to my receipt bin, show the bitch the receipts for all of my clothes, that I fucking bought, and that she's the one committing crimes here
>she just drops the socks and walks out
>never been back since
>finally I have afternoons to dress up again

cont

>planned on making a Candela cosplay since I started playing PoGo when it launched
>made cute lil sketches of what I thought she looked like and everything
>there were no fan-theories of what she looked like so I was hoping that I could make it work a la Cecil Baldwin effect circa 2012
>the official designs are released
>i am white
>she's...black? I think
>rip.jpg
>I ask tumblr if it's okay for me to cosplay her considering I was already planning on it and she's still a cutie!!!1but I don't want to be yelled at for "whitewashing" at a con
>people actually yelled at me via asks
>can i just live

I really wanted to cosplay her, she looks super hecking cute and the boy-cut hair plus the coat is to die for... Do you think I should still go for it, gulls?

>Go to Joanne's
>Getting fabric cut
>"What project are you working on?"
>don't say cosplay
>"Just an outfit"
>"Any occasion?"
>Don't say Otakon
>"Just because"
>spaghetti falls out of pocket all over my seifuku fabric
>mfw

It's been years and I still can't say that I'm working on cosplay. Staff can literally say that they themselves are fellow cosplayers and I can't bring myself to be like "Yeah, me too!" Sucks because I'm missing out on making friends and getting specific cosplay advice ;_;

>>9065712
>work cutting hours storewide
>will be harder to save for both university AND cons
>would look for another job if i didn't live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere
>travel to nearest city alone is a fortune
>obviously going to have to prioritize the former
>still sad since conventions and cosplaying helps me connect with people
