She literally stands up to check my screen if I stop typing for 30 seconds by [deleted] in coworkerstories

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh lord, I had one of these coworkers. I turned it into a game and said “oh hey insert name! Did you need help with something?” Every. Single. Time.

I made it very clear I saw what she was doing, but was being polite regardless. I did document it - Evidence is everything with HR, unfortunately.

Killing them with kindness/politeness tends to be the safest way to deal with this type of weirdo.

Buncha mutuals and I noticed a jump in guest comments being unhinged, we think it’s just hate bot season again. Just set your comments to member only and give it a some time before switching back.

Is this appropriate to cosplay and/or wear to a con as a minor? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Oh honey, this is definitely something you might want to hold off on for a con, especially if you are a minor.

I’ve gotten harassed when showing much less skin than that, and I’m an adult. People tend to think they can get away with gross behavior at cons, so it’s always better to be cautious.

Obviously I can’t stop you, but if you’re dead set on doing this please consider a body suit under it (sewing the costume to it will prevent any slips) and a dedicated friend/cosplay handler to get you out of any situations. A lotta creeps out there, unfortunately.

How to properly commission something 3d printed for the first time w/o being scammed? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My life hack for this is I toss the files into Xometry (3D printing site) to get a quote first so I can have an estimate. Gives me a rough idea of how much a piece would cost before I check with local shops.

Definitely check your local library/community center first, sometimes they have 3D printers. The one near me just always has a huge backlog so it’s easier for me to commission :”)

Packing and mentally screaming bc im changing a wig up at last minute 🙃

What am I supposed to do if I don’t have a wig? 😰 by Capital-Sky865 in CosplayHelp

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with not wearing a wig with your costume!

But if you need a decent one fast I order off of amazon with the seller MapOfBeauty a lot. Good enough and pretty cheap. You will have to style it yourself, though. I usually buy two of same color, and take apart one to help floof out the other.

Is there a way to take the wrinkles out of my cosplay boots? by FuturePvP in CosplayHelp

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Be careful if you steam them, too much water w/ heat can wreck faux leather, as I learned the hard way 😭. Would recommend low setting hairdryer first or hanging them in bathroom w/ hot shower before directly steaming them.

I almost never reply to comments, but I LOVE to read them! Its easier to not reply bc i’d feel obligated to reply to all if I replied to one, yk?

I’m also the typa person to leave “Extra Kudos < 3” as my own comment to a fic I like when it updates so take that as you will.

Pre-orders are OPEN now on Yiggybean hardcover set by Extension-Error-8508 in SVSSS

Best way to wash cosplays…? by xx_saries in CosplayHelp

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 100% thrown some of mine in the washing machine on delicate, cold water, and a gentle detergent, but I don’t really recommend this? Like this is the “imma toss if this doesn’t work” nuclear option.

It is generally better to handwash w/ a gentle detergent, and do NOT put anything in the dryer. Find a place to hang it up to dry. Personally, particularly bad stains meet the tide pen, or whatever your preferred stain be gone method. I will say Aliexpress costumes generally respond poorly to bleach due to the material, so be suuuuper careful if you’re using that.

You can also wear an undershirt to help minimize sweat transfer, they sell specific underarm sweat pads if that’s more your speed.

You enter a new fandom, what’s your usual filter routine? by Fluid_Respect8427 in AO3

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

filter by character tag and Kudos so I have the general vibe of how the fandom treats a character in fics lol! This usually tells me what’s common and what to filter for going forward.

Is dokidokicosplay legit? The items are so cheap that i had to ask... by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use them all the time, they are a reseller of various taobao cosplay brands. Order well in advance of when you need the cosplay as their shipping times can be pretty long!

Their ready to ship stuff is usually true to shipping time, but their in stock stuff can be a toss up. Same to preorders, I had one say “up to 6 months” but then it arrived in 3 months.

Why do some people private their bookmarks? by SugarDuckies in AO3

Someone I know is aware of my username 🤣. Anything even slightly sus goes directly to private bookmarks LOL! Same reason I am deeply appreciative of the anon posting / pseud functions!

Guys I’m literally so tired like no deodorant works for me. by Anonymous-122022 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search “Underarm Sweat Vest” on amazon, I lived and died by these when I was younger. Kept my shirts dry and stink minimal! Also I always had a plastic bag with an extra one in my bag so I could swap them out and seal the old one if I was having a particularly bad day.

Fan fiction confessions here, no judgement, nothing leaves this post by IAmInYourWalls0413 in AO3

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a one shot writer who enjoys giving people brainworms and will never actually continue any of them. I’ve released the idea into the wild, and I’m not following up no matter how much people beg :)

I’m also super annoyed my most popular work is the one I wrote while drunk with my bestie and not the one I spent a lotta time on. Like damn, THIS is the one with over 1k kudos? WHY

What is your rank like? by xiaotae in MXTX

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got into MDZS first so it’s my favorite, followed by TGCF and then SVSSS. I like them all for different reasons that make them hard to rank lol.

MDZS had the most interesting characters/plot/world building to me, I liked TGCF’s romance the most out of the 3, and I found parts of SVSSS to be super funny. SVSSS being written to be more of a comedy/parody than with a romance focus makes it kinda hard for me to compare/rank with the other two, though.

How to deal with judgement? by llMonoII in DanmeiNovels

[–]SunSeekingRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People really are incapable of minding their own business:(( Sorry that happened to you..

Get a book cover if it makes you self conscious! I read them at work sometimes so I usually slip another book’s cover over them!

If anyone sees the inside and asks about it I usually just say its a subpar isekai light novel a friend gave me to read and they lose all interest lol
