>tfw ran out of fabric and can't find any more of it, just a shinier version

God damn, it's not like it's costume satin shiny, but my original fabric was 100% matte. At least it's only in a few small areas.

Why do shiny jersey knits even exist.

Finished all my shit before a con where I'd be rooming with near-strangers (new to the area) because I didn't want to be one of those cosplayers who finished everything in the room.

My fucking FACE when they had near nothing done. Store bought pants and shoes, that was it. They still had to sew their top, style their wig, and make their entire prop (a huge pronged fork).

This would have been fine if not for the public transport being out that weekend and they were my ride (too far to even fathom walked).

We got to the con itself Saturday at 9 at night.
Then they wanted to leave at midnight.

Fuck those stupid people, I'm only rooming within walking distance from now on.

If what you say is true, your boyfriend sucks. Stay off 4chan for the next couple of days and go outside and hang out with friends as much as you can. He probably just hates himself for letting you go. The best thing you can do is pick yourself up, walk out the door, and give zero fucks.

I've tried but it goes over her head. she says if I really want to cosplay with her to have fun I should basically do what she wants and be her bitch, cause she won't have fun unless we are doing big crazy outfits of her choosing and god forbid I get more attention than she does. she basically thinks there is a lot of attention 'owed' to her because in our past groups I got more, at least in her mind, which apparently means I need to be the paperbag princess if we do anything else together.

theres a series I really love I wanted to do with her that I have wanted to do for a decade, and now she's decided if she's doing it she wants to be my character even though she doesn't care about them because the outfit is 'flashier'.

I experienced this feel just last week.
Didn't feel good, being eyed by security guards who had been sent to supervise the group of shirtless, streaking weebs Harlem Shaking and proclaiming their love for yaoi. I was just at the perimeter with my cuz, feeling intensely nervous about everything and only knowing two faces out of a group of twenty.
I'm not going back there again.

Holy fucking shit it's like I'm looking into a mirror. When I had my cashiering job I went from a little under 200 to 220 in the course of a year. It fluctuated because I'd struggle to exercise and eat okay.

Right now I'm experiencing the same issues except I don't have that job anymore. I lost a shitton of weight over the summer and was back to 200 in September, and right now I'm almost at 240 again. It was around the same time I started the depo shot which quite frankly sexually frustrates me, makes me depressed, stirs my acne, boosts my apetite, but is the only way I can feel safe about not getting preggo.

If you're anything like my case then you need to get help anon, the problem extends far beyond eating better and exercising if it's recurring. I found out I had an obsessive compulsive eating disorder and that I actually have 'trigger' foods (and no it's no stereotypical junk like chips). I'm in the process of applying for a lap band and seeing a therapist. You'll have to jump through a lot of hoops but it's worth it to not feel so alone in your weight loss battle. Btw--while the fitness buddy seems like a good idea don't bet on it. People can be flakes and they're not obligated to worry about your health, it's best to learn to motivate yourself.

I've lost weight before, without help from anyone else, so the "partner" thing is wishful thinking at best. At this point I know it's a mental/emotional hurdle, because while I know all the science and nutrition behind fat loss, and the fact that it's a lifestyle change and not dieting, stress is a huge player in my failure.

As an anxious person, this job has already jaded me for the worse and I have at least two legit panic attacks to show for it. But I was suddenly made aware of free access to counseling covered by the company, so I'm sticking it out for that.

There are a few options. Hang it in the bathroom when you take a hot shower to let some of the wrinkles and smell fall out. If the smell is still present, get it dry-cleaned or handwash (if it's colourfast). If that doesn't do the trick, you can either hang it near an open window/outside on a clothes line or put it in a box with odor eater shoe balls and dryer sheets.

I'll feel really bad if I scrap something now, especially since 3/4 of my cosplays are for a group and the other one is already done but I'm really itching to make a Dominator from Psycho Pass.

It wasn't that good, but I got attention for it. First cosplay I put months of work into, so it feels good. I'll try harder from now on, I now know how rewarding it is, thanks to anyone who gave me advice on this board along the way!

I dunno what's better about them. The fact they're willing to do it, or that they've already started making their costume from scratch.

I always feel so creative after leaving a convention. I meet so many different people into different arts - whether it's cosplay, drawing, painting, music, acting, performing... I can't help but be super inspired. I wish I could go to conventions more often than 2x a year so I could be perpetually inspired. Sounds corny, but it's true.

I know this feel. I lost 50 lbs through diet and exercise, took me awhile to do it this way. Kept the weight off for a few years. Started a new medication, I gained the 50 lbs back in a year. Trying to lose some weight again. It's really depressing.
