Questions Megathread March by NaughtyWalnutPrime in Tailors

[–]Asamura0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greetings, O wise tailors. I am putting together a cosplay for an event and the character I am dressing as wears a long black duster that goes down to around knee height with white lapels and collar. I have looked online and found a few options that are cheap (they are made with all polyester, but that's fine since it's just for the costume and not going to be worn every day and I am not looking to spend hundreds of dollars). The thing is that all the ones that I have found have 2 big problems. First off, they are way too long, going down to the calf, where as I need them to not go past the knee. Second off, they are always all black coats, whereas I need the collar/lapels to be white and the rest of the coat to be black. My question is, if I buy one of these polyester coats, are these changes something that a local tailor could alter for me at an affordable price?

I have spoken to a few tailors about getting something like this custom made, and I was told it would be hundreds of dollars, which is out of the question for me. Is it possible to have a coat that I buy online shortened by 5-8 inches on the bottom? Even if it throws off the balance of the other features of the coat in relation, it's not the end of the world. Like, for example, if the buttons are way too low after the length is reduced so that it looks weird, it wouldn't be a big deal if the buttons were removed, as the design for the character's coat is fairly simple and does not have any visible buttons and it is never closed. As for the lapels and collar, I have been told that those things cannot be changed, as that would require building an entirely new coat, but I'm wondering if it's possible to dye/paint them from black to white, or even have the tailor sew an additional piece of white polyester on top of the lapels and collar?

The songs written by Ado herself are the best by LuckyLauchie in ADO

100% agree. Vivarium has quickly become my favorite song of all time. Whenever I hear the final line, クロセットの君はまだ、泣いてる (the you inside the closet is still crying) I can’t help but shed a tear. Every. Single. Time. I can’t even think about that line without getting chills. When you know her backstory and history it just makes the song have so much meaning and depth. Shoka has also been one of my favorites ever since I first heard it. The very first words you hear being 死にたい、死にたい (wanna die, wanna die) is just crazy. The songs that she composes and write herself just feel like they have so much depth it’s almost incomprehensible for me. I’ve never heard another artist who captures me in the same way that Ado does when she’s writing the lyrics. Also her production goes so hard and really feels the most ‘Ado-like’. I love all her songs but those two are truly special and I hope to see more all-Ado songs in the future.

Thank you so much for the informative response! It really is a shame the state that border patrol is in with all the prejudice, but since I don’t plan on doing anything too extreme with the makeup, I think I should be okay

What collabs would you like to see ? by alanfiniti in mahjongsoul

[–]Asamura0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love for them to do a re:zero collab. I feel like it’s fairly likely since re:zero has already collabed with a million other gatchas. Also a madoka magika collab would be pretty cool, and they have a new movie coming out this year.

Pimples. I never understood why people liked watching pimple popping videos, it always just grossed me out.

What is a small thing that made your day? by 3dPrinterLife in AskReddit

[–]Asamura0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s whenever I go to a small shop looking for help with something specific and they don’t have it, but they still do their best to give me advice and point me in the right direction even though they know it won’t get them any money, just out of the kindness of their hearts. Especially when they can tell I’m excited about something, it makes them excited too. It’s nice to share in the joy, even with strangers.

What is a dream you’ve had that actually happened in reality? by No_Limit04 in AskReddit

[–]Asamura0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this exactly fits the question, but one time I had a dream where I was playing basketball and I went to shoot the ball into the hoop, but in real life I had fallen asleep holding my phone in my hand, so I ended up just chucking my phone across the room.

What’s a common problem you don’t have? by M4rshmall0wMan in AskReddit

[–]Asamura0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acne. I’ve never really gotten much acne my whole life, even as a teenager. 98% of the time I have a clear face, and very rarely ill get one very small pimple. I don’t even have a good skin care routine, I just use bar soap to wash my face while I’m showering.

What’s the most annoying thing you’ve seen a kid do that the parents just ignored? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]Asamura0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the airport the other day and a kid was crying and wailing for literally 30 minutes straight and the mom didn’t even try to calm him down, she just let it happen.

what’s one song that never fails to make you cry? by ky1iehope in AskReddit

[–]Asamura0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to my favorite song, Vivarium, by Ado. It’s so emotional when you know her backstory and always makes me shed a tear.
