/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I really love my comm. They're honestly more supportive than my own family.

>finally getting together the parts of my first cosplay (bought it but whatever, I won't enter contests)
>found a friend to bring to cons, he likes to buy merch of his waifu and ends up enjoying himself
>bf might have found himself a job finally
>my itabag is almost done
>the sun is coming out more where I live since winter is finally fucking over so my SAD is lessening
things are okay

Man, I just really love lolita!

Met a lonelita when out and about also in lolitam gr8 feeling, gulls.

>tfw finding furries when looking at pics of old events on facebook
huh, I guess I'm really lucky to never run into one of them at events I attended

>>9811682
Man, I just really love cosplay

If I go to a con, what are the odds I'll save an anime VA's life and be accepted into their ranks?

A red bolero someone sniped from me at the last minute from y!a reappeared on Wunderwelt for a higher price. The price is still good, but I'm pissed off to buy it.

>tfw been saving up for years to have the perfect wedding reception
>tfw fiancé agreed to let me do a lolita wedding
>tfw local comm is helping me make preparations for it
>tfw sister in law is asking me for advice of what to wear
Hold me, gulls, I'm so excited. I've been so absolutely giddy about this that it's taken me all of my willpower not to randomly scream. I've already got my dress picked out, and we've picked out a beautiful secluded lakeside location to have it and we've ordered over 50 dozen roses to decorate the entire event. I still haven't gotten around to designing the cake, but a local bakery said they could get little figurines of the hubby and me to put on top of the cake, and in my dress. Every day has been flying by, and it's like being in a dream. Every day I just keep thinking about >tfw no cosplay/lolita gf and how incredibly lucky I am to find such an amazing man and such an amazing comm that's willing to help me with my wedding plans. I hope all of you find someone wonderful that you're ready to spend the rest of your life with, that loves you and your hobbies!

>crush keeps suggesting we do couple cosplays
>too chickenshit to confess
time to die alone with my cats

I practiced my tea party voice. Does anybody like it?

>>9811924
This is fucking excellent.

>>9811820
Thats beautiful, anon

>>9811973
I think I'm making my >tfw no cosplay/lolita gf posts far too elaborate. I'm gonna start toning them down.

>>9811820
I can picture myself as a friend of the groom busting his chops about his autistic bride and nerd theme wedding, maybe threaten to take his lunch money, stuff him in a locker, or something

>>9811924
Can you do:

"Sniff my brapppp daddyyyyy"
Asking for a friend.

But for real I need this for memes and discord.

Momocon is coming up. I usually room with this one guy, but, a few months back at AWA, I accidentally walked in on his little sister changing costumes and saw her naked. We never told him.

Ngl, I don't think I can stay with them this year. It would be awkward.

>>9811827
"Not even Jupiter can reclaim a lost opportunity".

By that I mean: life is too short for cowardice, do it faggot.

>>9811820
That's wonderful, anon. I hope you enjoy every second of your ceremony. Warmest regards to you and your future husband! You are absolutely blessed to have found someone you genuinely connect with.

>Agreed to do group cosplays with series I honestly don't care for much, Voltron and Haikyuu (I love the series but not fond of Haikyuu cosplay) because I can't say no and my friends are a bit hyperactive
>Really want out, I still don't really feel like I fit in with them as a group. I get along with some of them individually (others I don't know too well but are friends of my friends) but I basically turn into a mute when in a group. I know it's going to get to the point when I start thinking "why am I with you guys, do you even like me or are you just tolerating me, you all are much better people than I am and have actual personalities, I'm fucking invisible, etc." and I don't really want to fuck off when I'm in a cosplay that's typically meant to be done only in a group.
H-help.

I had to keep rejecting this guy from the con, but now that he has a gf I feel really jealous.

She was cosplaying Wendy from fucking Wendy's.

>>9812086
What a Wendy thing to do.

>>9812070
Hate to be blunt but just tell them no. Explain that you don’t like group cosplay. If they won’t listen then they aren’t very good friends hm?

>>9812070
Anon, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it, forcing yourself will just sour your time together. I understand that, being around friends is important, so talk with them or maybe come to a compromise with them? Also if you're the same anon from the other thread then you still have time till the end of the month to decide.

>>9811793
Oh man, this happened to me with a headbow from mBok that was snatched from my ss after a bid war and soon after popped up on Lolita Desu, also for a higher price. I was super salty but wanted the headbow too much to pass it up.

>>9811924
>my tea party voice
Nani?

>>9812149
Gulls roleplay as lolitas all the time, few of them have even seen the fashion in person, not to mention wear it themselves.

This thing got way out of hand. People are roleplaying as Vendetta-chans and bringing things to the table that should not be brought up. I was mad at first but now I am just really sorry. Fuck that herd mentality.

>>9811775
None. If you want to be a voice actor you have to get your ass to auditions.
>>9811827
Do it you coward, better to fail than forever regret not trying
>>9812030
Why? It was an accident, shit happens. It's only awkward if you make it.
>>9812070
Just tell them you don't really want to do the costumes but you'd still love to hang out, they'll understand. And if they don't, they may not be worth your time and effort. It's better to back out now than after spending your money on costumes you don't want, or to stay miserable in silence.

>>9812170
What?

I really love the look of some OPs, but I have such a weird set of measures, I can only wear JSKs and SKs.
The one time I took the risk and bought an OP, it fitted me so horribly, I just put it in the wardrobe and went to bed to cry.

>>9812184
That's sad anon, it's awful when you buy something cute and it doesn't fit you. What's so weird about your measurements?

>>9812184
Some alterations can be made to fit you, other than that you could get something custom made. It won't be brand, but it's something.

>>9812190
Starting with the positives, slim hourglass body shape, slightly (but naturally) underweight. It allows me to easily fit S or M size in lolita, at least for JSKs.
My waist is around 65 cm (26"), so bigger sizes would be loose on me.

But then come the things that are off.
My chests seems to be a little big, but I have small breasts, around size A. Not that much of an issue with lolita, as only sometimes, in more bustier pieces, the breast area can be a little loose in JSKs, but it rarely looks bad and is better than a boobloaf.
I'm very tall, 178 cm (5'10"), and with that come long limbs. The long sleeves are way too short for me. I could go around that with cuffs or sleeves under the OP.
Sadly, my shoulders are unnaturally wide, making OPs feel really tight. It applies both to long and short sleeves. It's probably the worst part, and there's not much I can do to change that.

I kinda want to try out some princess sleeve OP, but I really don't want to be disappointed again by my shoulders.
Doesn't help that the OP I got was the most expensive piece I have got so far, and I really love the pattern print on it.

>>9812205
I plan to talk about alterations with my mom, who is a seamstress. I really wish something could be done about the OP I got.
Custom things might be out of my budget currently, and I don't know anyone who got experience with lolita dresses.

>>9812150
Yeah, my ex boyfriend still comes here and pretends to be a lesbian lolita lol

>>9812252
Now that I think, maybe my shoulders are not unnaturally wide. Just appropriately wide for my height.

>>9812252
Cup size generally only matters in lolita if you are over b and even then if you are under 90cm it won't matter that much. I recommend you take your bust measurement too (from the highest point of your breast, with bra) and your shoulder width. Because you are quite tall, the waist of the dress probably doesn't sit at your actual waist and the bust place will be off - especially if you have large shoulders. I'm 165cm and my measurements are 65/83cm and I still struggle with OP's due my shoulders (42cm). They really make the fit really wonky and bad but I can wear OP's that are loose on shoulders, so there is hope for you, too.

Also, if you measure your bust it might be worth to measure your underbust too and look up your true bra size. Your cup size might actually be bigger than you expect!

>>9811924

>>9812260
>my measurements are 65/83cm
Literally me.
>I can wear OP's that are loose on shoulders
That's encouraging, thanks!

>tfw just realized I have one dress that came in recently along with few other items
>I haven't tried it on yet because I got sick when it came
>didn't pay attention if it's JSK or OP
>it's a Meta dress with short puffy sleeves
I just put it on, and oh gosh! If looks and feels so good! Thank you anon!
I haven't felt so good in a while. I really need to start wearing lolita more often.

>>9812141
>>9812145
>>9812178
Welp time to learn to say no

>>9812341
It’s hard anon, I get that. But what is worth more to you? Your happiness or theirs? Not even happiness necessarily, but if you’re going to a con to have fun you have to accept that it’s not selfish to put yourself first sometimes. It’s only logical and healthy

>>9811658
My mother is going to a scrapbook convention and it turns out she kept all those photos she took of me in my early coordinates and is making a couple scrap pages. I’m honestly so touched by this and can’t wait to see how it turns out

Sad feel: starburst jellybeans don’t taste as good as I remember and I don’t have many cute spring dresses. Fuck my velvet addiction

>>9812349
Aw, that's sweet

>had a fight with my mom where she got mad at me for wasting my money on getting packages
>TFW I have packages on the way and have to deal with her attitude now if she sees me get them

>>9812349
There's such a thing as starburst jellybeans?
>TIL

Due to self-esteem issues I tend to dress like a slob. Oversized t shirts, old jeans, old sneakers. But I've always wanted to be feminine and cute and confident. So recently I purchased a few dresses and things to go with them ( a cute cardigan, tights, ect) and I'm nervously awaiting for everything to show up in the mail. I was inspired by casual j fashion looks and I'm hoping I can pull it off and feel better about myself.

W-wish me luck everybody

>>9812788
Good luck, anon

>>9812788
>trying to improve your overall look
Nice! I'm always behind that, good on you, anon!
Just remember not to give up and not to be too down on yourself with what you're wearing. Let people that you find to have a good fashion sense give you some critique, don't be afraid to approach them.
Try to dress in a way that accentuates your positive features.
And always remember that there's nothing quite as attractive as a pretty smile!

Good luck, anon!

My best lolita friend recently bought me a new dress and I've been choked up about it for over a week. She bought herself one and we plan to twin.
It started because we both were interested in a print, and coincidentally, the designer re-released said print literally a week after we had talked about it! When it came out she insisted she buy it for me, even though I told her I couldn't let her do that...

She says it's no big deal because of her tax return. Also that she's doing it for me because she really cares about my depression and what it's done to me over the last two years. So she's buying me the dress to lift my spirits and possibly get me jumpstarted into lolita again.

I don't know how I'll ever repay her back. I've never, ever, ever, ever, had any friend do something so nice and thoughtful for me before.
I want to shout it to the world about what she's done for me but I can't say anything because our mutual friends might feel left out or she might get embarrassed. I don't want to brag to hurt other people, but at the same time I want people to know about what an awesome friend I have. The only person who knows is my boyfriend and even he thinks she's being extremely generous. He's on the 'how the fuck are you gonna repay her?' level as I am.

I've been kinda gushy every time I've been talking to her, probably to the point where I look like a sentimental sap. But I can't help it.
I love that girl. In the past I've had such awful friendships where I was taken advantage of and (made) to buy them things. It's just nice to be on the receiving end of something thoughtful and unconditional. I don't know how to handle it.

>>9812905
Let her know how much you appreciate it, anon. The best way to thank her, other than outright saying "thank you", is to be a friend for her; take the time to listen to her, be there for her when she needs you.
It sounds like you've found someone truly wonderful, not because she's buying you dresses but because she does this to try to help you when you're down; so be a friend and support her back.

Have fun twinning!

>>9811820
>I hope all of you find someone wonderful that you're ready to spend the rest of your life with, that loves you and your hobbies!
I appreciate it, but I already lost all hope

>>9811827
I might be wrong, cause I thought my first crush had a crush on me too, but when he/she suggests to do couple cosplays, he/she might have a crush on you too

>>9812086
her win, your lose

>>9812788
>Oversized t shirts, old jeans, old sneakers. But I've always wanted to be feminine and cute and confident.
I don't know you, but I guess you are already feminine and cute enough for me

Happy feels: Crossed another dream dress off my list and a mto in the mail.

Sad feels: Found out the one who started the drama was a snake and was trying to get me to pick her side whilst shittalking my friend group.

>>9811990
Never tone them down. #itscalledart

>>9812788
Good luck anon! I believe in you. If the clothes make you feel cute and happy, then that’s a plus but make sure that you feel comfortable in it.

Just bought my last DD. Why do I feel so sad?

>>9812964
Retail therapy is no replacement for normal therapy! You can take care of your outside, but if you don't also care for your inside, you can't improve it. So be good to yourself! (and seriously, the therapy thing is important)

>>9812969
this is...more wholesome than i had expected from this board

>>9812969
Thanks anon! I used to be in therapy for depression as a shitty teen and I eventually got past it, but I guess these feelings are warning sign. I hadn't even thought of that until right now. Going to try to find a therapist this week before it gets worse. Genuinely, thank you very much.

>>9812905
This is the sweetest thing. I wish I had a lolita friend like that or could be that friend. Treasure her forever

I got crushed by my crush
>meet cute guy at work
>hang out a lot, text a lot

Thinking about quitting and getting another job

>>9812995
Room for two in that noose?

>>9812995
Maybe he was just trying to be professional?Wouldn't dare to tell others at my work if I dated another colleague.

>>9812995
as a man in the workplace now, you’re taught if the female doesn’t ask you out, you’re harassing her

>>9813001
This.

You're in the nuclear position there, you have to make the first move.

>>9812998

Tfw you click down the polyvore rabbit hole and find the most beautiful bolero you've ever seen and start coording it in your head with your wardrobe only to find that the pic is like five years old and the etsy shop no longer makes it and the store owner is on maternity leave and you can't find anything else that is as perfect as it

>>9812952
drama? Explain

>Get invited to a public lolita event in FB
>Accept the invitation
>Few hours go by
>Mom likes it

>>9813042
Can’t say cos they lurk here and it would be too obvious. All I can say is that that person makes it out like she is the victim or is “pure” and then she goes off and does the same thing as the other snake. No wonder I have trust issues.

>>9813082
You must be 18+ to post on 4chan.

>>9812676
Yup. Easter themed seasonal exclusive. I loved them as a kid but for some reason they just aren’t very good right now. The purple ones are still best. Maybe I’m sick or something and that’s messing with my taste.

>>9813084
Not that anon but I'm in my late twenties, have my mother on Facebook and she tags me in stupid shit/likes my stuff all the time. What exactly can you do? Tell her to fuck off?

>>9812905
Repay her with your smiling face

>>9813093
Maybe talk to her and tell her not to?
Or move to snapchat/insta where parents don't go yet.

>tfw lolita gf's butthole feeds you frosted flakes in bed while you dream about misako

It's been my dream for years to make a lolita subculture themed 90s style website with all the information and material I've collected over the years that's a bit like a game where you have to hover certain things in a picture to make them move and click them to get to know related information. I literally have a notebook full of ideas and sketches and now I've finally started learning HTML. I know it's the basics of the basics and I still have so much more to learn. I have to get better at drawing too. But damn I'm just so excited I finally started doing something after daydreaming and hesitating for so long.

>>9813388
That sounds adorable, honestly.
>information and material I've collected over the years
How many years are we talking about?

>>9813393
I will put all my heart into it, I promise. If you mean the years I've started collecting and saving lolita related things, then 7 years. If we're talking about the actual material, I have magazines (esp Kera and other magazines like Alice Doll that no one fully scanned before), books, japanese articles, flyers, pictures, interesting blog links and popular & unknown lolita artist artbooks & stationary starting from 1997.

>>9813414
Yeah I worded my question a bit oddly, I meant how old your information is.
Please do your best, anon! I'd love to see that.

>>9813388
That sounds really fun!

The initial teenager was nowhere to be seen when I was at the con. Anyways, who the fuck tries to set up a fight at an anime con?

>>9813561

>>9813651
tbf mentioning a kid and then NOT mentioning a spouse kinda implies somethings fucky, whether thats bc theyre single or bc theyre trying to avoid mentioning a spouse for w/e nefarious reason

>tfw realizing there are a lot of cons in my country
I went to 8 this year, and in previous years I only knew about a few. The first con I went to was in december last year. I've been missing out on a lot of good (and some bad) shit.

Looking to trade a dress - listed all the information, repeatedly stated I was wanting to trade it, listed possible trade offers and said I was open to ideas.

And of course the first reply to the post is "Are you willing to sell it?"

Listen cunt, if I was willing to sell it, I would've fucking said in the post. But considering the post ONLY talks about trading, I feel like that's a large flag that no, I don't wanna sell it.

>>9813761
Everyone has a price.
Even you.
To pretend you'd be entirely unwilling to part with your dress for any monetary amount is folly, especially considering that whatever other dress you'd want has its own monetary amount. And "open for ideas"? Well that just further points to you being unsettled.
Don't be so hasty, or quick to temper. You might be passing up a grand opportunity. Options are far more valuable than any single dress.

>Did too many shoots (14, I know it doesn't sound like much but I'm new) at Katsu last month

For the first time, I have to complain about the smell of a con I attended. The dealer's room, Jesus Christ. It smelled like sweat and a bit of shit. This wasn't even a big con, why was the smell so bad this time around?

>mfw i bought my ultimate unattainable dream dress with all the matching accessories i wanted

>>9812905
Tbh I low key hope you'll end up as gay couple. That sounds so sweet, and you should really treasure her and care about her

>>9813782
Why so rage?? I don't think someone will offer the cost of fancy car for lolita dress. Otherwise it's just rude. The only worse than that is asking people to sell dress in wardrobe post or just in comments on IG.

>>9813991
I'm bi and like to see cute lolita couples as much as anyone, but that's a bit creepy, anon. You don't even know if they're gay.

>>9814037
>inb4 this whole thread turns into predatory lesbian discourse

>>9813761
I don't think this is a reading comprehension thing, people sometimes think it's harmless to ask anyway so that person was probably trying their luck; if you really don't want to sell, it's a good idea to mention that in your post, just in case.
>Please note that I'm only interested in trades, not sales.
>I'm not interested in selling the dress at this time.
Or something or other.

>>9813953
Congratulations, anon! Which dress is it?

>Spent years thinking I'm depressed
>Would sometimes feel OK for short amounts of time but would end up buying a lot of brand and then hiding in embarassment for the next few weeks.
>Suddenly realised that this pattern is not depression.

Shit, anons. I think I might be honest-to-god bipolar. I've had so many doctors tell me I'm depressed and put me on meds that did nothing or made me fat, but maybe they were wrong about the problem the whole time. I feel like an idiot, I have almost bankrupted myself on lolita at times, and then other times I won't even touch my lolita clothes because I feel like I don't deserve them. I don't have a psychiatrist at the moment and can't afford one right now, but maybe I can sell some brand and go see one in a few months.

>>9813602
I've been friends with a dude for like 3 years and I only recently learned he was married and living with his wife, even though I've been to his house before. Granted it's not like a super close friendship but they're just really private people.
>>9813692
>>9813681
What kind of world do you people live in that people getting divorced is degeneracy?
>>9813704
What country? I'm in France and I just recently realized that the con I thought was big for here but relatively small compared to US cons was actually one of the 5 largest worldwide. The convention scene is actually booming here, my local con just went from 2 to 3 days and opened a sister con later in the year, and I keep learning about new small events nearby I never knew existed. It's kind of cool, especially since I want to go into competing and hopefully guesting at cons.
>>9813860
Broken ventilation system? I was at a small con this weekend and the smell was okay in most of it but I took one breath at the door of the board game room and turned around immediately.
>>9814065
>hoping two girls get together = predatory
come on, this is literally the mildest thing

>>9814121
Yeah, that does sound a lot like bipolar. I hope you can get therapy soon, you should look for resources, sometimes there are programs to help people who don't have a lot of money have access to medical help. Don't feel too bad about only realizing it now, a lot of mental illnesses go undiagnosed or even unnoticed until someone points them out (or even after that!)

Well, that's my first and last foray into that.

>>9814185
Anon, don't do this to yourself. Don't use EMS. Just use the cheap airmail option, it'll only be like three days longer. Or the dead cheap sea mail that'll take weeks.

>>9814210
Also it may be worth consolidating your packages if you buy a lot of small things like blouses or accessories. And remember to mark them as gifts if you're in Europe, Buyee don't mark down but you can set them as gifts.

>>9814203
Doubt she's into into girls as she has guys over fairly often. On the other side lives an elderly couple so no idea why she'd want to be heard.

>>9814204
I won't be making that mistake again!

>>9813561
Jesus, I'm actually in the same boat; the only difference was they were recently married and I waited too long.

>>9814216
Thanks! I might take the super long shipping option by boat or something because I really don't need it in any rush (one of the items I can't really wear until winter comes round again). I just wish I had looked at their shipping or something previously, but that snipe bid option is too enticing.

>>9814214
I went for the airmail option but it's still £62..
>>9814216
I think my problem was a consolidated my orders which means the package is now too heavy for the cheaper shipping options. If I get customs on this order as well I might cry.

>>9814230
Did you buy coats or shoes or something super heavy? I've never had any shipping be that much, literally ever.

>buy a dress from BST thread
>'free worldwide shipping
>jesus fuck me in the ass yes please
>she's in Australia
>I'm in the UK
>Bad feels about kind of screwing over some anon with insane shipping charges
>Good feels about getting free shipping though

>>9813606
I saw that post, sorry to hear that anon. I've done similar recently too but I managed to find more tickets for the event after missing out on the dress, here's hoping you get another chance too.

>>9814126
Argentina
I love how we have an "Otacon Party" event. The name really makes you think. Also

>on april 15, there's TWO events on the same day
>literally within walking distance of each other

>>9814296
Argentina is such a corrupt shithole, sorry anon.

>>9814083
pic related! i think i posted it (in a different colorway) in the DD thread nearly two years ago and have only seen it pop up once. it's my holy grail and i'm over the moon!

>>9814296
>Otacon

Also, that's pretty funny. Why would they do that? The organizers must know each other at least in passing

>>9814236
It was a pair of bodyline shoes and a blanket. I think they're both heavier than I was expecting.

I'm not having good luck with shipping at the moment. My Japonica order is stuck with Parcelforce customs as well.

>>9814325
that’s amazing, congrats!! just curious where were you able to find it??

Are those real?

>>9814352
They look fake, but it's hard to know for sure

>>9814343
surprisingly, LM! after spending so much time combing sites like Y!J... lol.

> my gf and I were goind to twin for our local meet
> picked all the stuff, also got the matching shoes
> got into huge argument in a few days before meet

> me feeling so upset any time I look at matching headdresses I made for us

It's not even about that stupid meet, I'm just so sorry for getting into argument with my babygull.

>>9814417
Talk it out with her then, that's a part of being an adult in a healthy relationship. Set the meetup aside for the time being and see what can be done to solve the issue. Don't be afraid to apologize if necessary, either.
I hope things will be better for you both.

>>9814417
>tfw will never have an artsy lolita gf who makes accessories for our twin coords
>tfw will never have my own babygull

>>9814424
>>9814417
This, if you care about her, don't let drama get between you.

Dr Phil has some seriously good advice in this area - the relationship is only at stake if you put it at stake.
If it's an argument over random shit - never play for keeps, the relationship doesn't have to be at risk.
Talk it out like adults, make it clear how much you care about her, make sure she knows that the relationship isn't at stake.

>>9814217
maybe it only makes her horny when she gets heard, or she doesn't give a "fuck" about that

>>9814494
Women aren't into perverted shit like that anon.

>>9814497
not according to this board

>>9814497
>women aren't sexual
lol

>>9814171
>moaning while masturbating alone
Do people actually do this? For what purpose?

>>9814577
I'm assuming you're a guy? Most women moan during masturbation.

>>9814579
scuse me what, no we dont

>>9814581
yes we do

>>9814584
where the fuck are you getting the idea that most women moan, shittily acted pornos?? we dont moan

>>9814579
No. Again, for what purpose? I always thought moaning while being alone is a porn thing. There's no one there to hear it normally, OP's case is special. So why do it? Is it really an urge for some people?

>>9814577
>moaning while masturbating alone
>For what purpose?
You're right anon, obviously women moan for attention and not because they're enjoying themselves.

Will the influx of virginal robutts ever end?

>>9814427

>>9814590
This so much.

>>9814590
It was a simple question, no need to get so defensive. I know I do and the only other instance I moan is when I'm in extreme pain, that's why I asked if others do it differently.

>tfw you always get fujoshits trying to fight you when you mention a comic/anime is not that great

Why are fujoshits so crazy man, it's just gay porn ya'll
There's some good ones, and there's some bad ones there's no need to get so heated

>>9813806
>last month
At this point your models don't care anymore, you might aswell not upload

I think photography might not be right for you, consider killing yourself or atleast stop taking pictures.

>>9814635
They're like a rabid cult man
They don't even try to watch anything else at all, especially if they can't insert some sort of gay OTP stuff to any of the characters
>Tfw listening to some people I hang around constantly go on about YoI/Haikyuu/Yowapedal "ships" and fanfiction

>>9814642
Anon pls don't bully me

>women only moan when a man is around to hear it
I really hope you guys don't believe this.

>>9814671
That's not what I said. It doesn't have to be a man, this is cgl after all.

>>9814671
didn't start that debate, but I am not even sure if women actually moan at all, cause after all, I have never witnessed it for myself, only read about it and seen in porn
on a side-note, the main-reason for moaning is to attract other males, appearently
https://personallifemedia.com/2013/09/why-women-moan-at-climax/

>>9814671
Only time my friends and sister in law say they moan is to turn the guy on when they're having sex. They say they never do it when they're by themselves

>>9814709
again, we don't. closest ive ever gotten is a particularly forceful nasal exhale

>>9814713
so because you have a repressed sexuality means no woman ever moans by herself?

>>9814717
>repressed sexuality
>not hollering like a fucking chimpanzee when im schlicking it to hentai
sure jan

>>9814720
>never had a body shaking orgasm
>has the audacity to talk for all women on the planet
why don't you leave?

>>9814713
Just because you don't doesn't mean every other woman is the same. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

>>9814671
I do moan occasionally when I'm super turned on and in the zone but overall I don't. Then again, my ex girlfriend was so annoyingly loud that we literally got into gags just to stop our neighbours complaining. We're both women and I don't particularly care whether or not someone moans so I don't think she was putting it on.

>>9814671
>tfw no lolita gf who moans during sex

>>9814579
ok well i dont

>moaning during sex
God why can't you all take that to Crystal Cafe or something, it's even more irrelevant than usual on here. At least "tfw no lolita gf" is vaguely on topic

>>9814835
aaand the anti-fun police arrived

>>9814842

>>9814835
I moan especially loud when I masturbate in my burando

>>9814871
lolita is serious business

Highly informative thread

I've been so lonely and isolated the last couple of years that sometimes I think it would almost be fun to start vlogging about fashion and crafting and turn myself into a lolcow if I could at least get some attention/interaction. But then I think that maybe one day someone will actually consider hiring me and see it all.
I wish I had the balls to turn my back on my family and end it all.

>>9814893
Please don't do that... I've been in the same position many times and have stuck with life, and it's slowly starting to feel more worth it. There are ups and downs, and it took me reaching out to a lot of people and going inpatient for a while. But I'm doing better now. Given time, it could happen for you too. Where in the world are you? If you're near me I'd be happy to hang out with you. No pressure of course

>>9814876
please, can you explain further?

>>9814893
You should try getting out more.
No, really.
Stop making excuses, and just do it.
Have you considered branching out into other hobbies or looking in other places?
Maybe if it's a fear thing, you need to determine what's more important to you; being afraid or finding friends.
The answer is finding friends and we both know it, so no more excuses, find that inner drive and push yourself out there.
Everyone has that inner drive, come on now. No excuses, no complaints, muster up your will and get to it!

>>9814951
I went outside once. I slipped on some ice and broke my ankle.
Now i can't go outside even if i wanted to...

>>9814949
Found the thirsty man

>>9814957
ok, sorry, but I have also some "needs"

>>9814958
And you should probably go to a yellow board for those.

>>9814949
I think/hope that anon was joking

>>9814956
Oh sheesh... When will your ankle recover?
Also, this is off topic, but do you have winter lolita coords (or cosplays if that's your thing) as well as regular ones?
And do they factor in the possible snow/ice days?

>>9814959
nayrt
>yellow board
It never occurred to me to wonder what the counterpart to a blue board was called.
Now I know.
Like a yellow bulb turned on, you have enLIGHTened me.
I feel like I've gained something of value today.

I'm pretty sure they were always called orange boards, or more commonly just nsfw boards.

>>9814966
>enLIGHTened
Man, I just really love you anon

>>9814975
They might as well be yellow considering how many of them are full of weeb shit

>>9814951
How is "getting out" going to help when I am trapped in Frozen Hell, USA pop. 800? There is nothing here or for hundreds of miles around here.
>inb4 "Then move, anon! Go somewhere better!"
I am trying. It has taken me forever to save a paltry sum of money. I need more before I can move, and I've already sold most of my valuable possessions. The only lolita pieces I even kept were things of negligible monetary value or great sentimental value, like my dream dress, which is both cheap and precious to me.
I lack the time, money, and space for most of my hobbies. I still do plenty of the ones that I can, like reading and gardening when the weather cooperates.

>>9814915
I appreciate this, but I can guarantee you're not anywhere near me. Hopefully things will improve when I can go outside again and when I get to be around other people.
Glad to hear you're doing better, too.

>Forgot to incorporate my slightly too wide feet into the equation and they’re too small

Is this not one of the best feels, gulls?

>>9815012
RIP you.

If you're like 30, then your time is basically up.
Any guy who's serious about having a family near the age of 30 genuinely looks for a younger woman, usually early 20's.

Sounds sketchy, but it's just as simple as this: you don't want a girl with baggage, like serious ex partners or, heaven forbid, another man's kids.
Any single girl, near the age of 30, will either be crazy, have serious emotional baggage or have kids - or any combination thereof.

Posted about this in the pet peeve thread, but there is no jfashion community where I live at all (if there is, I've never seen it). I live in the Phoenix area of Arizona and it's usually way too hot to dress cute 8 months out of the year. Con season is in summer, and summer in Phoenix is usually above 100 degrees. Feels kind of lonely loving fairy kei/yume kawaii when your city is notable for an abundance of mormons and the weather is way too fucking hot all the time. Any gulls from the Phoenix area?

I was starting to feel optimistic and motivated for a cosplay to throw together, but then I looked in the mirror and realized how awful and disgusting it'd be, and probably the other cosplays I want to do too.

mfw a group chat I'm in found a post I made on cgl about some of the other people in the group chat
it's positive but still, i'm trying to poker face so hard right now

>>9814713
I only moan when my boyfriend goes deep. I feel bad for you, sleeping with men who have small dicks must suck

OK so it’s not just me? I’ve seen there are a few different flavors but I just got an individual pack of the regular ones at a convenience store. They all tasted funny, but the purple ones were actually the most palatable.

God damn...

>>9815347
Well, shit. I look forward to those jelly beans every year..

>>9814577
I like to hear myself. It's making me hornier.

>>9815498
I've met a shit ton of lesbian cosplayers and none of us ever did that or anything of the sort

>>9815517
Then that's weird because I've had my fair share of boob grabs and awkward kiss photos from lesbians at cons

>>9815523
Lesbians are even more creepy than thirsty guys desu

>>9815545
Pretty true
With all this cosplay is not consent stuff, people have been cracking down pretty hard on creepy guys but girls seem to think they're above following it

Good feels:
I reserved my first brand new skirt from IW! I have some clothes from Second Child but buing things has never felt so good.

Bad things:
I gain 2kg in last week because I'm extremely stressed and I don't have time to eat properly.

>>9815391
I don't have to make sounds because it's not like my vagina is connected to my vocal cords but I like the idea that somebody can hear me when I'm playing with myself (this is just a fantasy though, I'm living with my bf in a house so my neighboors can't hear me). And that gives me better orgasms.

>>9815567

DA I also moan during masturbation because it helps me to imagine an actuall process of being fucked, and this way I feel hornier. Also

>I don't have to make sounds because it's not like my vagina is connected to my vocal cords

Seems like my vagina is connected in such way. I don't consider myself as lesbian, but female's moans have always been a big turn on for me. For this reason I like watching straight porn with realistic female orgasm. So yeah, it might sound funny, but sometimes I imagine another girl moaning out of orgasm.

>>9815578
>porn with realistic female orgasm
where do you find that?

>>9815586
You're kidding right? There's like a whole fetish built up around that

>>9815586
OP here, at least I look for something, that is not that obvious.

>Won't accept that I know I suck but I don't really care enough to power through and practice
>Complains that I ghost her
I don't know it's not that she's a bad person but I really just don't want to talk about art with her because it always turns to how bad j am, how good she is, and how she thinks I should get better

Aww this is sweet. I love when happy feels get posted in the feels thread. What dress did you get?

Man I just really love Japonica

I've been making cosplays and going to cons for at least 2 years, but have no cosplay friends. How does one find other people to cosplay with?

>>9815841
I also fucking love Japonica. I use them at least once a month and never had a problem. I feel like the only people that do are newbies who don’t read their rules and then throw a bitchfit because they didn’t.

Every now and then a dress I want pops up secondhand, I think for a while if I really want it and then cave and buy it... only to find that it has some undisclosed damage, and later I find the same dress in perfect condition/new with tags.
I don't know what I did in the past life to deserve this but I regret it, whatever it was; just please let me have my coveted pieces in good condition.

>>9815862
Struggling with this as well currently! So far I've managed to get acquainted with a few people through license-specific meet-ups, since you're together for about an hour and you have a common interest all picked out for you. Striking a conversation is hard if you're really shy like myself, but you can push through and chat a bit about whatever you're cosplaying. Then exchange social media (I have cosplay cards I like to give to cosplayers I talk to or photographers who take my picture!), and if you interact with each other a few times, you're on the right track! I'm still working on the phase between that and an actual friendship so don't take this as gospel but once you manage to overcome shyness for five minutes and strike up a conversation you'll easily find common ground. Asking about how they made their costume is generally a safe bet, as is the thing they're cosplaying from. Not every person you talk to will become your best friend of course but you miss all the shots you don't take!

>>9815841
I've never had trouble with them before either. They're pretty fast and only had one issue with a flaky seller refusing to ship out the dress once. Otherwise they're clearly polite and friendly enough to get past Mercari and Fril sellers' shopping service aversion.

>talking about a subset of prints in the group chat
>"I love that subset too anon! My dream dress is xyz from it!!"
>mfw I own dress xyz
>they don't know it

I can never publicly wear that dress again without looking like a fucker, can I?

>>9815958
Wear it at your next meet to assert your dominance

>>9815958
? I don't understand, why would you not post your dress because it's someone else's dream dress? Why would you be a fucker for it if you did post it? That's silly.
If that girl starts bitching about it, or tries to buy it from you even if you're not selling, then that's on her and it'll be shitty on her part. It says nothing about you.

>fall in love in a coord of one lolita

THIS
You don’t own anybody your clothes. Feel free to wear it. Obviously don’t rub it in “Ohohoho look at what I have you peasant” but if she sees you wearing it she will be happy to see you enjoy it, if she has a good mindset about it.

If not well, again you don’t owe her the dress just because you reeeeeeally like it

What a story Mark

>>9815636
Stop grinding out incline bench reps, anon-kun

>Be trans man
>Really want to cosplay a female character because female designs are often better than male counterparts
>Fear of being called a trender even though I have dysphoria and present as male every other time
I want to die

Honestly on all of my cosplay-related social media I just let people believe I'm a trap because I honestly don't like the idea of parading the fact that I'm trans (except I'm talking about it here, I know, I just need to vent). I'm just so tired because either way it feels like I'm lying.

>>9816108
It was pullovers, so even worse

>>9816116
From one trans man to another, do your thing bro. The whole idea of explaining your gender is weird and only something in English cosplay circles. I lived in japan and literally no one put their gender on twitter, IG, etc, even as cosplayers. Enjoy cosplay and remember that it’s for fun.

>>9816116
personally my dysphoria isnt triggered by female cosplays (because the emphasis is on trying to look as much like the character as possible and it feels entirely separate from my actual identity).
even the really hardcore 'ftms cannot wear dresses EVER or theyre trenders' dont generally give a shit unless you ONLY cosplay women

Since everyone's ranting their trans feels rn,
I identify as nonbinary and mostly do male cosplays because I feel much better about myself presenting as masculine, but I'm not "out" anywhere. I feel obligated to throw in my old female cosplays now and then to keep up cis appearences, but I never feel good in them anymore.

My little sister is in Japan with her husband right now and I'm so jealous I could shit the bed.

>>9816328
just save up and go then

Negatives:

>Got a urinary tract infection
>Gaining all the weight I previously lost due to having a few weeks of essay writing that kept me locked to my computer
>Stuck at an intro for a possible summer job I want nothing to do with
>Completely exhausted and my body hurts due to said intro (possible inflammation on the way)
>Thinks my anti-depressants stopped working c'us the energy I got in the beginning is going away more and more

Positives:
>Finally finished my playthrough of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix for PS4, which is the first since I played it on PS2 years ago
>Purchased all my fabrics for Terra from Birth by Sleep
>Only need to buy con ticket + competition pass for the con this summer, hotel is already fixed
>Done with my essay
>All the snow is finally melting!

I love my comm, but sometimes I can be a bit grumpy, or some of the discourse gets on my nerves and I lose my temper a bit. When that happens I end up being low-key rude or shady and then really regretting it afterwards. I'm working on just turning off my phone and ignoring the conversation when that happens, but I also want to apologise to the other girls. But apologising would remind them of my mildly assholey behaviour which they may have already forgotten...

I'm feel like such a dick.

>>9816438
If even you think they've forgotten, it can't have been that bad.

>>9815974
This speaks to me. Being average sucks because even if you're not ugly it's so easy to feel ugly next to beautiful people.

>>9815958
This has happened to me, she was just happy to see it irl. And I know that if I ever sell it, I have a definite buyer.

>>9815787
Congrats anon! Proud of you!

Holy shit, I used to be interested in this but the way the aristasians took kawaii and lolita and turned it into something quasi-religious made me really uncomfortable. That was what made me leave their "heartbook" website. Now they're apparently a cult called Chelouranya and have nothing to do with the original Aristasia. It's kinda sad.

At least you see how this attitude hurts other people and make some steps to prevent that so I believe you're actually a nice person. Don't be upset, I'm sure there are people in your comm, who's deeply aware of that, but still like and appreciate you

All you had to do was enthusiastically reply, "Oh I have that one! I just adore its cut!!"

Just message her and say that you remembered she likes that dress, and you had it, and offer to wear it out next meet so she could see it in person for research purposes.

Aren't their charges higher than in FromJapan?

>>9816533
After reading some horror stories about FJ on here I never bothered looking at their fees. Japonica's fees are relatively high, yes, but they can buy from sites where other services can't so it's worth it.

>>9816638
There are horror stories? I've only used Zenmarket and Japonica, and I wanted to try out FromJapan, but this is concerning to hear.

>>9816533
FJ's pricing was seriously fucked for a long time and they charged a lot of hidden fees. I think they cut that shut out because it was losing them business but I'd rather pay Japonica a bit more than have something get fucked up.

Though I wouldn't use Japonica for itabagging, for example, their fees are too high per item to make them worth it.

>>9811827
You don't deserve to procreate desu

>>9816656
most of the horror stories are from people who didn't realize how mich bank transfer fees and domestic shipping add up on auctions. FJ isn't any different from other big company proxies like zenmarket or buyee desu, japonica fills a different niche being mercari-compatible so i wouldn't compare them directly.

why are girls at cons so easy?

It's literally the perfect conditions to be a degenerate.

I honestly don't know. One of the events is Yukai Fest, which is at a venue that doesn't smell badly, so I'll go to that one. Jigoku Style is the other event that day, and the last time I was there, it was ok, but the fucking dealer's room and gaming sector smelled like sweaty otakus and farts. Granted, every other time I went to their events, I didn't have this complaint, but I'm expecting a lot of people to go to the Jigoku Style. They invited youtubers (none of which I recognize) and so I'm not expecting the smell to get any better.

Eh, I lived in the US as well, for a bunch of years. From my experience in both countries, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Are you saying it's a good place for an handsome devil to get over his autism around grills?

Quick reminders for myself:
>It's ok to not be friends with everyone in your comm.
>People who aren't your friends are probably neutral about you rather than hating you.
>It's ok to have friends you like more than others, you don't have to love everyone.
>Lolita isn't srs bsns.
>If you're not having fun with your comm, you don't have to go to meets.
>It's fine to hang out with a smaller group of lolita friends.
>Repeating coords is fine.
>Not being OTT is fine.
>Not wearing makeup is fine.
>Your natural hair is probably fine, but look in the mirror and check before you leave the house.
>If you're worried what people online will say, just don't take photos.
>Not every coord needs to be posted on CoF.

>>9817011
Pretty much. Although if you have clear issues like big spots, raccoon circles etc a little B.B. cream is a lifesaver

Also my feel. I put in a coord with some fabulous matching earrings I made only to find out... my earring holes have closed up. Fuck

>tfw find Moitie Ita's Instagram and suddenly realise I find her weirdly attractive when she's not in lolita
What the fuck is wrong with me

When a girl wears a coord so tight you can see her nipple piercings.

Oh thank god I'll never be able to find her attractive ever again

Only if you save Dan Green from getting dragged into the shadow realm

I want to put together a Mermaid Melody cosplay group but I feel like that would be really hard. It seems like it's one of those magical girl shows that was popular and then after a while everyone completely forgot about. I see Tokyo Mew Mew cosplayers every now and then and Cardcaptor Sakura cosplayers every now and then but the only Mermaid Melody cosplayer I ever see is one old guy who I've seen cosplay it at AWA occasionally. God bless that old guy.
