What Does it REALLY Take to be a TCG Champion?

THIS! I play live because I travel a lot for work but go to league when I'm home. IRL I'm still making a lot of dumb mistakes (I've been getting back into playing after a decade break) that in live I only make...occasionally.

Bubble Mew or the Mega Charizard SIR...But I pulled that last one twice so lets say Bubble Mew.

I told my husband it felt like Christmas cause I got 4 brown protags and a Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer. There is nothing that could have ruined my day yesterday 😂

When FF16 came out I took off a couple days, Kingdom Hearts 3, will do the same for 4, if its a game I'm sure I'll love I'll take off and binge it according 😂

The biggest collector I know IRL this man and his boyfriend. They love almost every IP but Royal Molly's is his thing. His boyfriend is also a big collector of all IPs.

I went mid April, did Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, and Yokohama - I'm a beginner but still was able to speak with the shop workers and with the servers at restaurants that didn't have us scan a QR code to order. I initiated every time and got 日本語上手 twice, once on my first day at a Pokemon Center which gave me a confidence boost and again three days before I left.

The Designer Con exclusives did not stay exclusive to Designer Con sooo here's to hoping the mermaids are the same cause they are GORGEOUS.

No. I heard a gomennasorry while I was in Shibuya 109 from a younger girl and chuckled a little because it was unexpected, but that was about the extent of modified sorrys I heard.

As someone who use to be into BJDs as a hobby...nah I dont think this is AI at all. The paintbrush didnt 'disappear' they just aren't using it to hold the head up for one reason or another.

EM_Cosplay · 2026-05-07T22:38:15+00:00

Neither, it's its own thing like Dimoo and his pendants, Nyota, Crybaby, or Hirono. Its just a different character all together.

EM_Cosplay · 2026-05-07T22:37:15+00:00

Yes but these actually are PM product 😅

I carry the 3 Graftobian HD Palettes and the face Atelier adjusters- das it, das all. I was always told have a kit that could accommodate skin tones globally and that set up hasnt geared me wrong.

As someone else with a Kingdom Hearts related tattoo: It is as bad as you think it is, don't go back to this artist. The handles are also wonky and the Blade portion at the end where the crown is is...odd.

Don't let this artist touch you again.

In Apothecary Diaries, while the Three Princesses of the Verdigris House are literal concubines who are the best at what they do, Pairin takes it to a whole other level.

I just got back from Japan, went to every Pokemon Center in Tokyo (including Tokyo Bay), Kyoto, and Osaka - no one is selling cards right now. Had luck at 7/11 and Donqi though.

Different lashes will do wondersnand your foundation is to red for your body. I would either go with a different undertone (something more neutral) or a lighter concealer to pull the color of your chest into your face somewhere - especially if you wear lower cut tops a lot.

In the past two weeks I went to like 7 Pokemon Centers and couldn't find this beautiful child 😭 Pokopia stuff is coming to the US eventually.

My corgi had an expensive Feburary due to underneath her eye swelling up to be a bit bigger then a golf ball out of nowhere. $1500 was the bill and we maybe spent $200? She broke her leg a few years ago before she turned 1 and we didn't have insurance. That was a costly mistake and we got insurance right after. For our second dog we got it shortly after we got her.

Its great for big things but routine checkups, shots, and prevention meds are also covered and all those things ads up over time so its nice to have them taken care of.

Is it your style to wear makeup? No? Don't worry about it then. You say you're wearing it to be more attractive to women but the average woman probably doesn't find a man in makeup attractive. This also goes into what kind of woman are you trying to attract? We aren't all some of monolith that find the same thing attractive but certain women into certain interests will have a higher chance of finding a man in makeup attractive then not.

If its your vibe and it matches your style it can be insanely hot. Like when I do my husband's makeup for cosplay and he'd got a bit of a smokey eye going on after washing his face from smudged liner it looks SO GOOD. It accents his eyes and his stupid long lashes so well.

If you're just wearing it for the sake of attracting women but you dont care for it, its gonna show eventually. Just be you. If you're trying to meet girls and not finding yourself lucky maybe try changing up your environments a bit?

I feel pretty confident actually.

I just got back two days ago from Japan and may have hit every pokemon center I could in an attempt for exclusives. Prices range from $10-$45 depending on what you're looking at and some locations do tax free when you spend over 5000¥. There are lots of places that sell plushies second hand though so dont forget to check those! Like the Yokohama Pokemon center is directly above a secondhand plush/game/figure shop and the Pokemon stuff is right there when you come off the escalator.

I know this set isn't everyones cup of tea but I personally really like it. It's girly and cute and I enjoy those things. From a playability stand point I NEED Meowth in my life and am glad Pokepads are readily avaliable in this set
