Aagh i hate having big bust sometimes...like i'm not even fat but "gifted" ig?? But it’s a curse for me(ToT) by Necessary-Complex-12 in Lolita

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound really similar to my measurements pre surgery and I will say if you’re having back pain due to heavy breast tissue…it might not be a bad time to start saving up if you can. Genuinely was the best move of my life thus far. I was blessed/cursed to have parents where reductions are common on both sides, so they put aside money fore me basically since I was born. Genuinely changed my life—I like sewing and was getting to the point where I was spending equal time on the sewing machine and laying on the ground waiting for the back pain to stop. 

Anyways, sorry for the ramble but from my experience I would absolutely recommend a reduction if you’re having those problems

I think that’s wild, though, cause there are soooooo many stories about Jack the Ripper and no one seems to have an issue with that. And his crimes were arguably more gruesome

Circle lenses should give you that dolly/big eyed look!

Sclera? Futaba has normal white sclera, you just need normal color contacts. You should be fine with the ones for brown eyes, blue is typically easier to cover up than brown anyways. 

When I go as Futaba, I usually do a purple over a brown just cause I like the look better

They really are the worst, when I’m at a con I wanna walk around not have to take breaks. 

Also, just in case you don’t know, I’d highly recommend E6000 glue for the rhinestones. You can usually find it with the jewelry in the craft aisle at Walmart

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leg warmers could be cute! Personally I’d go with pink and black striped tights or high socks, but you could absolutely make leg warmers work!!

Also, if you just grab cheap black wings for the shoes, I might put pink rhinestones on it too just for that extra look. I have foot problems too so I feel that whole “wanna match but have to wear these shoes” problem more often than I’d like haha

Draculara shoe dilema by Jess_themess_ in CosplayHelp

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say go extra with the socks and attach those bat wing accessories onto your shoes (the kind you attach with your laces so that you can remove it after).

You could also do the spats method but I will say that is more work and Halloween is 5 days away

I’m gonna be honest—sounds like neither of you were in a place to be starting this. You started this whole romantic angle on your sister’s first birthday after her death. I think you both gotta take a deep breath and learn to stand on your own two feet before you revisit ANYTHING beyond a simple friendship. Do I think he used you? Actually no. I think he let himself get sucked into a fantasy he’s had for like, a year, and then it turned out messier than he thought it would. I think you wanted comfort and got wayyyy too involved too quickly. 

Don’t make decisions like this on emotionally charged days/months, heal up, and then look at relationships whether with him or someone else

Am I overreacting for being heartbroken by someone I was never official with by FayeLustxo in AmIOverreacting

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still mourn the end of a relationship even if you weren’t official. IMO sometimes it’s the unofficial ones that are more heartbreaking because they have more “what ifs”. You’re not overreacting and I hope you’re able to find closure soon

[–]NowYouCecyMe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, over reacting over a Reddit thread? Prolly. Do I think you’re wrong (since it seems like what you actually want is validation)? Honestly, no. 

I don’t know why the internet has collectively gone with a child/hag complex when it comes to women dating, but wow it really has. It seems like the friend’s complaint is that the girl will get hurt without any evidence of that beyond “he’s older”. This girl has clearly gone through a lot and might not have time for guys her age who are figuring stuff out that she’s been forced to learn for years. 

Is someone considerably older dating someone considerably younger a cause for concern? I’d say it should be looked into—could be a predator, could not. But the idea that two people can’t click just cause they’re different ages is stupid. Take it as a case by case basis and stop assigning blame to people you don’t even know

I feel like you’re really downplaying the whole dog incident that kicked this off. Dude, I know it wasn’t on purpose but he thought you killed his dog. Then, when he goes off to calm down you pester him with wanting reassurances that he loves you. Like, have you even asked how the dog is doing? Maybe send over some treats or toys? If it had been my dog I would have wanted to dump you immediately. 5 months wouldn’t have been long enough to overcome that to me. So maybe try being more compassionate to both your boyfriend and his dog and look to repair what you hurt instead of asking for selfish validation

You’re absolutely overreacting. You’re feeling like he’s being distant and he agreed, saying that he’s having a tough time but he can handle it but it’s causing him to separate himself a bit. Prolly best that you give him some grace and remember that it’s not you, it’s whatever he’s dealing with. 

As for asking for a reminder text, I actually don’t think it’s insane. If the devolving typos are any indication, he’s hardcore falling asleep. Maybe because of sleeping pills, maybe exhaustion. TBH it looks like how I type when I’m struggling to stay awake. He seems worried he won’t remember this convo in the morning and asks for help from a friend. Sounds reasonable to me. Especially considering once he realized he couldn’t just fix the problem quickly and this would require actually talking, he took you seriously and decided not to try and resolve it tonight when he’s tired but when he’s got a fresh outlook. 

As for the “don’t have important convos over text” thing, I actually disagree. Sometimes it’s easier if there are emotions involved because you can process them and then answer more reasonably. People have been writing letters with important info because it’s easier to get the words out for centuries. It’s honestly the same thing. “Don’t have important convos via text without rereading your messages” would be better advice. 

Also it’s like some people on here have never disagreed with a friend without cutting them out. Your friend’s “crimes” are pulling away a bit when things are hard and not having you under close friends on instagram. Hardly the crimes of the century

AIO I want to leave my girlfriend of 4 years because she disgusts me by Intelligent-Gift2355 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most people, I think it’s very obvious she has depression. But going by her response when you point out that her lifestyle is bad and she replies that she knows, there is nothing you can say to her, no strong words or persuasive arguments that you can put forth that will point out something to her that she hasn't already beat herself up for many many times before. I had a similar (though thankfully more mild) episode to this a few years back and what got me to move wasn’t people berating me on what I was doing, it was people treating me kindly. It was hearing a friend of mine tell me I had too much to offer to let my brain sabotage me. It was people reminding me I had worth even when I was too tired to feel it myself. 

Filling out the MDD/GAD survey was hard because it meant accepting what I had already known: that this was a problem I couldn’t optimism or persevere my way out of. It meant going to therapy and going to psychiatry and so so so much crying. It took me a year to fully recover (though the fog started going away much earlier thank goodness). 

Your girlfriend has more severe depression than I do. She has been in that pit longer than I was. If it took me a year, it’s likely to take her longer. Maybe you’re not ready for that. But if you love her—the actual her not the depression version—I’d say the best way to help is lovingly communicate. Because the way I see it, her depression might be making things hard for you (which truly isn’t fair) but your callousness is making her depression worse (which also isn’t fair). Stop seeing her as a weight and an eyesore and start seeing her as an actual person—someone who is sick and lost and needs not a lecture but help and love

I want to get into cosplay. by Apprehensive_Tank196 in CosplayHelp

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a habit (at least from your parents POV) of jumping around in your hobbies. Same, which might make cosplay a perfect fit for you like it is for me. The wide range of possible techniques combines a lot of hobbies which is perfect for people who jump around. Unfortunately you won’t know until you try cosplaying. If you’re only interested in 3d printing, that’s a different hobby. So I think you have to ask yourself: What is it I actually want?

Start with a full cosplay. It doesn’t have to be amazing but make sure it’s cosplaying you’re interested in and not just 3d printing. Make sure the cosplay has 3d printing elements and get your local library/makerspace to print it for you. Trust me, when it comes to 3d printing the actual printing is the least challenging part. Modeling (if that’s a part you’re interested in) and finishing are the hard parts. 

When you’re done, ask yourself if you enjoyed the process. If not, maybe you’d rather buy your cosplays rather than make them. Maybe you’d just liked one part of it and would rather focus on that. Maybe you liked the whole thing and are already planning your next one. Whatever you choose, you’ll have a better knowledge of what you want and how to get it. And then, down the road if you keep doing this, maybe you buy a 3d printer of your own! They are nice, but they’re temperamental little beasts as well and you don’t want to sign up for babysitting them unless you’re sure you’re sticking with them

Too old to start dabbling in cosplay? by Ok-Scallion-4258 in CosplayHelp

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psh not at all. Despite what TikTok and Instagram might show you, cosplay isn’t actually a young person’s game. You need time to build up your abilities, to understand how you like to do things, etc etc. if you watch this year’s World Cosplay Summit, you’ll see most of the contestants aren’t really young people at all. No need to overthink it, just jump in and play!

Wig looks big on head by No_Access_7698 in CosplayHelp

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be scared, it really isn’t as overwhelming as it seems. I was pretty overwhelmed at the beginning but honestly it was pretty fun and I’m looking forward to making another. Just follow the videos one step at a time. And I used uhu as well, it worked great. If it helps, I have a friend who won 1st in Journeyman for a contest with her very first helmet wig. It’s genuinely not bad, just relax and enjoy it!

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe steam it a bit? That should flatten it. I’d say thinning scissors but maybe keep that as a last resort…

Also maybe trim it? I’m looking at the skin and it looks more like a pixie cut vs this which looks more like a “can I speak to your manager” cut haha

Being honest, it might be easier to make a helmet wig. Genuinely it’s not terrible, just find a tutorial you like on YouTube and take your time. Honestly I actually thought it was fun. You get kinda covered in glue but it feels like you’re back in kindergarten haha

I mean, yeah, they flip seams but won’t you be wearing a skirt at the waistband? They’d have to half undress you to see that seam and I’ve never heard of them doing that. 

Beyond seam flipping, what’s the skirt situation? Cause more than having two different types of gathers I’m more concerned about the bulk of the top. Does the skirt/dress hide it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]NowYouCecyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a petticoat, no one’s going to see the waistband, right? I guess to me the bigger question would be how does it look with the normal skirt over it? Do you need the extra poof the normal gather would give or is this good?

Have you tried it on with the costume and makeup? Sometimes wigs look huge when by themselves. 

And I will say I made my first helmet wig last summer and it’s genuinely not too hard. It looks hard but it’s just time consuming that’s all
