I get jealous when I see people I met at different occasions be friends, especially when there are three people I met at separate times, and then I find them all interacting or learn that they are friends.
I guess this isn't obviously /cgl/ related, but I got two situations in mind, and both were con related.
Especially the last one, I saw people I met at three consecutive entries of the same con, one person at each con, and then years later I see them playing games together, just the three of them.

Want to wear simple coords out to the movies and things with my bf but I'm scared of embarrassing him. He says he doesnt care, and that's sweet, but I put everything on, look in the mirror and get freaked out cause my outfit is just too fuckin cute to wear around.

As much as I hate having no other choice, I’m going to use an asexual dating site when I’ll be more stable and ready to date again. I already know that dating someone normal who either doesn’t care or is willing to cuck me doesn’t work because I’m still going to worry that they’ll need it from me specifically eventually. That’s how I felt in my last relationship. A lot of asexuals are faking it to feel special, but I guess there’s no reason to fake on a dating site. I’ll just have to make it a requirement for them to have already dated someone before, so I can know for sure that they’re not demi.

I've been so busy lately, but I finally got a Saturday to myself. I spent it listening to new music and finishing a project which has been miserably begging for attention for weeks. It was removing every single button from my taobao blouses and attaching them again more firmly.

it's not about the width of the bust, it's about the length of the bodice. even if somebody's boobs fit, like 33-34 inches is the maximum measurement before it looks ridiculous because the bodice is so short.

and it can't really be lengthened because there's not much extra fabric to work with (the waist ties are the tiny thin kind) so... rip anon.

Anyone else dread watching lolita friends get pregnant and have kids because you know that they’re never going to stop posting pictures of said child (and all the details of breastfeeding the kid, changing diapers, etc.)? I’ve got a friend who just had a baby and I’m so tired of being inundated with videos of the baby doing baby-things and the non-stop posts/conversations about lactation and mom shit. God, I miss the person she was before her kid, and she can’t ever go back, I understand that. But I’m tired of hearing about your baby, it’s just a baby to everybody else that isn’t you. I don’t care about the baby as much as I value you, the person who had it! I hate how it’s like some people’s old personalities disappear and they get replaced by someone who can’t go five seconds without mentioning how their kid projectile vomited on them this morning.

The logic used in creation is that I know it's not going to be fantastic, but I still want to get my ideas across in the clearest way possible, without an autistic degree of going into front-back-side diagrams, while still trying to be humorous in presentation as a means of deflecting from the unprofessional quality.

Im not sure what that diagram is supposed to depict but here is an example of a bodice being too short in the front. it should end at the black line but instead is hiked up because of the bust size. In extreme cases such as a high waisted cut, this means the bodice can end in the middle of the breast.

>> No.10610749

>>10610747
This can also happen if the person wearing the dress is too tall, causing the bodice to be too short. It is very hard to "expand the pink part" when there is not enough fabric and it would require an entire restructuring of the dress to make it end lower than it does.

A friend of mine who I suspect has BPD just went off on me again last night and I don't know what to do, gulls. I'm not entirely sure what triggered them, but they said some really awful things that they know I've struggled with in the past. It really brought back issues I worked hard to resolve and made me feel so small.
Everything online says to just go no-contact with a person like this, but I just can't. I've tried. Are they really beyond redemption? They even went as far as kicking me out of the discord channel.

The shitty PTSD part of me and the doormat empath wants to blame myself for this and accept the verbal abuse, to understand their reasoning. The logical, rational part of me understands their rage is reflective of their inner struggles and not me. It still hurts though, I try really hard to not defend myself or validate them too much during these times but it's extremely difficult not to... I can see both points of view.

I'm not someone who cries usually, but I'm embarrassed that I allow this person to hold that power over me. I just... don't know what to do. Everything points to cutting them off, but I feel completely miserable without them. They're my best friend. At this point this is sort of just a vent but if anyone has personal anecdotes or just wants to call me an idiot for knowingly dealing with a person like this, it might be helpful idk.

Super doomer and I guess it applies to anything, but I have become so debilitated I can no longer even work on cosplays anymore. I don't know if I'll even be able to attend one last con especially with corona-chan and me starting immune suppresion medication. I don't even have the energy to slap on a premade, makeup, and style a wig. It was one of the last things that brought me some fun and joy.

>inb4 fatty just workout bro
what makes me even more dead inside is that I worked out down to my ideal (~18 BMI 20% BF) before reaching this nearly fucking vegetative state and wanted to finally feel so damn good in cosplay and not uncomfortable walking around cons and now I can't even have that.

please enjoy your life while you can, don't rush, and take care of your health gulls. Cherish every single moment, even the tiniest things, and treasure those memories because you really don't know if you'll have them again.

That's valid concern. What I can think of objectively is, they asked me to play a video game with them last night but I declined because I wanted some time to myself and had a headache. Overall I was feeling not great emotionally either. I think that might have upset them, and I apologized. We have over a decade of history knowing each other, so anything else unrelated to this would be me speculating on how they feel about any given situation or interaction.

Otherwise, current themes of their outrage are centered around them saying that my partner is lying to me or not acting in my best interest, and when I speak up for my partner, my friend doubles down and directs the lying and manipulation accusations to me. My partner and my friend do not like each other, and this is a common point of contention. My partner is usually the first target for their rage, and when I stick up for my partner, friend doesn't like that.

>>10610809
I usually do after they calm down. I really try not to make other people's pain about me though, so normally I focus on objective factss rather than my feelings.
So typically it goes "[what you said] hurt me because [reason], I hope you understand that's not okay."
Sometimes if I feel especially hurt, like today, I will make a list of things they said during the outrage that specifically hurt me so I can explain how it made me feel in depth and why/where I'm coming from, and ask them if they think they can work on it because I do trust them.

This heavily depends on the construction of the dress but generally to lengthen a bodice you have to detach it from the skirt and if youre changing the cut of the dress you have to use different cuts of fabric, or make it in a very clever way that would hide the extra seams afaik. It would be much easier to just make the jsk into a skirt than to redesign the whole top. The "bodice" is categorized by the chest area above the waistline, aka in jsks since they dont have sleeves it ends up being the entire upper half of the dress. Taking out the bust would not fix the fit issue as its not the bust not fitting, it is the entire length of the bodice. pic related: the circled part is what is referred to as the bodice.

I made a pic to easier explain, but as you can see in the red pic, its not an issue of the bust circumference, but rather because bigger boobs take up more space vertically. This can sometimes be hidden with strap extensions but if the fit is too poor then yes it just won't work without severe alteration. Note that the misfit bodice also makes the skirt hiked up in the front.

>> No.10611061

yes, you can take out the circumference of the bust, which will give it more room so it won't affect the length. what is so hard for you to understand? the bust is only using more length because it is too tight.

Going to a con solo (in a solo hotel room) for the first time, suddenly frendo wants to come along and room in a bigger room with me if I cancel my reservation. Ofc, I'm excited to have another person to meme around with and he takes great photos, but I was planning to meet random people and dick around at parties (and maybe get lucky). Now, I'm feeling an unreal sort of guilt for thinking of it that way. I like wandering around solo at cons (at times) and having someone always follow you around gets kind of annoying, and I feel like it's harder to chat up strangers then.

This is what I figured as well but I guess that because the bodice itself is "one item" of the dress, it's probably nigh on impossible to single it out on these dresses. Also just because bigger breasts are mainly thought of as being larger circumference wise, doesn't change the fact that they're round, and also take up space vertically as well. That's why in >>10610442 I mentioned the "industrial strength bra", because I figured it would be necessary to transform all of the vertical space into horizontal.

The lolitas in the wild thread has me feeling so weird, on one hand I'm like "you can take pictures of me, I still look better than you" and "why are people such dicks". But the real fear is pictures of me ending up here and getting seared alive by people who actually know lolita. But really, honestly, in the country where I live I'd recommend anyone who regularly wears any alt fashion on the daily to have extensive knowledge of self-defense. Delusional boomer christfags and "hip" popular teens are prime to pounce once their fragile worldviews are challenged.

Nta either but so do the muslims, the chinese and others. The gaybourhood folks hate what is alt to them as well. It isn't a matter of religion. It is a matter of fitting in. Social cohesion requires that people find eachother agreeable otherwise they will clash. Local traditionalists take up beliefs and customs that have been proven agreeable usually for generations. The different is an oddity. It will pique the interest and it will be joked about. Bullies victimize people with low social credit because doing so won't incur the wrath of the much stronger majority. The majority doesn't much care about alt people who aren't fitting in. It will only care if they are being disruptive and abrassive, which all alt people who aren't laying low are.

I’ve been struggling with an ED for 8 years and I’ve never been obese and also never been under weight, but my weight fluctuates a lot within the normal range and usually on the higher side because of emotional eating. It’s literally all I think about other than lolita is losing weight. I tried the first time to get help this year and spent hundreds of dollars and multiple therapists to find a good one and it was just a waste and no one takes me seriously they just want money. Everyone just acts like I can get over it just by being healthy, even though I this isn’t a choice otherwise I wouldn’t be doing it if it was. I hope this year I can lose enough weight that my organs will just fail, since now I’m in my 20s it could happen soon. I’m so tired of this

>If taxes are so low there too, why are you under fiscal stress?"

Anon, the taxes being low don't magically make people's paychecks high enough to pull them out of poverty.

Also, you should know the word 'from' can change in meaning. If someone says, "I'm from Tennessee," it can mean they either live in Tennessee or grew up in Tennessee depending on the context.

Usually, if you ask someone, "Where are you from?"; it would mean, "Where did you grow up?"

Everyone in the U.S. knows taxes are low in TN. (And it's moderately better then West Virginia.)

I go to this DC photoshoot at a con. I’m thinking I will be pic related because it’s one of my favorite books. As groups are called up, I end up just sitting there. A Harley Quinn asks me if I was a DC character. Tell her yes. Few minutes later the guy running it comes up to me and tells me that this is a DC shoot. Pretty sure he was planning on kick me out so I show him a picture with him and the Justice League. I finally get pi when they call for good guys.

Anon, how much do you think they pay in low-tax areas? You might occasionally get lucky & find a city that pays well, but the majority of places only pay 7.25. Even among your nurses & higher-paying jobs with moderate education, you're going to be lucky to get $10-12 per hour.

Also, low taxes don't equal low cost-of-living. Low taxes are great for those making enough wealth, like your stockbrokers & those working in executive positions, but the majority are in such a low income bracket that it doesn't really make a difference. That's why so many low-tax states have an unusually high rate of malnutrition, especially among children.

There are plenty of low-cost low-tax states with acres of suburbia.
I also live in a low tax area (Dallas) where my rent is still under 1k. Median household income here is 85k, and just driving around most fast food restaurants are advertising starting salaries of 12$/h or higher. I would imagine this is even better for restaurant workers, laborers, nurses, etc.
I don't live in the city, I live in the northern suburbia, so that's why I say what I say about low taxes and low cost of living.

>> No.10613704

I came from one of the no-income tax states, and they weren't paying $10-12 an hour. Texas is much nicer, yes. I did move to a nicer state, but it's only select cities paying $12 for fast food. Unfortunately, there's a lot of disparity even between cities 30 miles apart. I was lucky I got to move because many are unable to save enough to make the move in the first place.
