My comm is really laid back and chill and I love it for that, but sometimes I just want to bitch about it or people in it on here, but I don't because I don't want to be that person that starts shit. I wonder if anyone else in my comm feels the same.

>post about your local comms
>except don't talk about your comm

How does your comm deal with sissies? My comm is torn in half over a "brolita" even though several members have shown proof to mods that they are wearing lolita as a fetish. One mod is calling us transphobic and is threatening to give bans.

What the hell? I honestly don't know what to say, that's ridiculous. This is far from helpful but damn, anon, you have my sympathy.

Curious as to if Ame is going to have any noteworthy guests, everything is a bit quiet. Did they bring anything up at Kita?

Thank you for posting this, I started hearing this song where I work and it was driving me insane because I couldn't place where I'd heard it before.

Awesome, more normalization of lolita fashion please.

I consider myself part of both worlds. Western fashion subcultures often are attached to music subgenres, so that could be why there are many gothic lolitas who don't really care for the western idea of goth.

idk if you put this in the right spot either, hoping it doesnt get deleted. When I wear lolita, I only where black coords and when Im in my 'normie' clothes, I dress western goth. SOmetimes the two intersect a little (adding goth elements to a kuro coord, or making my western goth outfits a little more 'girly' etc) but I don't really think of them as being all that similar, even if the colorscheme is.

I think the rift comes from a difference in attitudes. Lolitas tend to be a little uptight, strict rules followers etc and most western goths Ive...

I'm sure there are still people out there who dabble in both, but as far as I know, most tend to be older Lolitas who got into lolita via Goth music/fashions/sub-culture rather than younger ones who got into it through anime/cons. Older Gothic Lolitas tend to keep to themselves rather than expose themselves frequently on social media, usually as protection from their work life.

Are plastic storage cubes heavier than wire cubes? I was going to buy some plastic because they looked lighter but some artists told me that they are actually quite heavy. Should I just stick with wire cubes?

>>8981888
they are definitely heavier than wire, but imo not obnoxious so. it's up to personal preference, really. if you're just after the 'lightest', stick with wire.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what are some of you guys' experiences with shipping inventory to cons/hotels ahead of time? In particular plush artists. I'm just reaching my limit of what fits into checked baggage.

>looking forward to the most
cosplaying, seeing my LA friends, hopefully seeing some panel guests that weren't able to get a room last year

>not looking forward to
the fact that i still dont have a hotel room. i have no idea where to look for roommates since the AX forums gone and I don't know how reliable looking for some on Facebook or (god forbid) tumblr. My friend who i've always gone with doesn't want to go this year which really sucks

>>8970463
you can try the coscom forums too.

>What are you looking forward to the most?

The heat
The lines
The standing and waiting
The smells

Fashion doesn't always have a category. it's fun to wear general cute/fun clothes without needing to give it a name and a particular aesthetic. Just wear what you like. I feel like that's what makes the western Jfash community so weirdly rigid, we're always trying to fit into a set of rules instead of shooting for an aesthetic instead. I also think that's why a lot of people miss the mark no matter how hard they try, because they're going for particulars and not feeling it out. As long...

I often wear clothes that are my own style. I've been doing it since I was allowed to pick out my own clothes, long before I knew anything about J-fashion. J-fashion has influenced me to go for more girly and overly-cute elements in my outfits now though.

Anyway, my point is that yeah, you're not the only one who has their own style.

I'm the same, but there are times when I want to wear a specific style but I'm so afraid of accidentally missing a point or something so I always write/say [insert style]-inspired as a cheap-out

not my story but a bit of con lore that i picked up somewhere

Is this just cosplay or can lolita join in because I've got one of each. Y'know what sharing anyway.

Better than average. Most first time cosplayers arent even recognized as the character theyre dressed as.
Free non-poisoned gatorade is also bretty gud for a first timer

>>8944697
Really? I didn't expect my cosplay to work so well. That's actually really good to hear.

7 out of 200 seems like a pretty good number
if you were an easily recognizable character from the current popular anime of the season you'd probably get a lot of photos

if the evangelion final movie ever comes out you'll probably get more

>Are your cosplays ready?
Yea.

>what are you looking forward too?
Making noobs mad at the game room, chilling with bros.

>Con stories?
None I can think of right now.

Better early than on time or late.

>>8941944
>Are your cosplays ready?
Ha, nope but I'm on schedule.
>what are you looking forward to?
Seeing my best friends for the first time in 10 months and wearing my cosplay.

How is the Magic:TG scene at Acen? Are there drafts? I'm taking my boyfriend this year and he wants to know what it will be like.

I still don't know what I want to cosplay, so that probably means no cosplay. Was going to re-use a cheapo one from another con last year but I lost most of it in the hotel. Stupid money lacking and shit body.
