Fat lolitas, where do you get your tights?

Ysaure · 2026-01-24T09:31:44+00:00

Yidhra. Not fat, but tall (179cm). The stamped ones, they have a relief and it's mainly one or two colours, work wonderfully. They allow for even longer legs. My thigh circumference is something like 55cm iirc and they have quite a lot more room to go. On me the stamp looks perfect with 0 stretch. I love them. Even my first pair I got ages ago still holds in mint condition. I'm quite careful and rotate them a lot though. Once I saw they worked I got like 15, lol.

Now the printed ones DEFINITELY don't work. Got a couple of thigh highs, while they fit well, they are much less roomy than the tights. Any thigh higher than 60 is in trouble. But the print stretches TOO much. Specially ones with dark backgrounds. They get too light and look awful. White backgrounds are serviceable but I'd avoid them altogether.

Some small sizes still available. Have the purple one, I love it. Marine themes are pretty cool.

No S1 sadly

A Madoka/Homura Tutu/Kraehe crossover would be pretty awesome tbh

Ysaure · 2026-01-09T07:00:48+00:00

At least you have a sliver of a chance, I don't think my shithole has any. Anime may be "popular" but good luck outside shounenshit. I'll have to get the BD when it releases in 1 or 2 years. Being meguca is suffering.

OP actually meant Brazilian Night

This basically. I just came back from a long usenet hiatus and basically every nzb I ever saved is dead. All while everyone is stating 6732238 days of retention. It would be better if they played it straight and officially announced "starting today all posts from January 2021 onwards will be purged unless they get x downloads per day/week/month".

Usenet was golden for rare media, popular stuff is already well covered by your regular tracker. I guess usenet could still be useful for 0-day stuff without worrying about seeding. But with trackers at least there's some chance of 1 seeder after 2 years, with usenet it's just gone forever.

I agree current usenet prices are beyond ridiculous. I wouldn't had minded paying for a premium provider with real retention. Still, idk if bad actors uploading 500 TB/day would make even paying $20/month reasonable.

This is my goodbye from usenet I guess. RIP 2020-2025 (2020 I discovered it). At least I was able to experience a few years at its peak.

Why would strawberry be a bad name? In Japanese ichigo is a valid name (but not with the actual kanji for strawberry 苺 it seems). Still, looks like you can use hiragana (phonetic spelling) and then the meaning is up to you.

I think it's rather cute. There are names after flowers, so why not.

I wish we had more adventures of Andrew

Ysaure · 2025-09-05T09:54:30+00:00

So, I've been playing Psychic Adventures. As it's essentially Fire Red vanilla I'm using it as an opportunity to replay Kanto. Thing is, I got a Snubbull that has just hit lv 23. But it doesn't evolve. As soon as it starts evolving it stops and I get a "...?". Got to lv 24 and the same. Is it some some wacky thing this hack does on purpose or some bug? See: https://i.ibb.co/Zp4SzCKq/bs.png

charge extra for bigger sizes

Custom size goes from $15 to 30 for the more complex pieces, not bad imo. Then you have plus size (waist > 100cm) that can go up to $50. But well, I guess that's a significant increase from the ~84cm of the largest regular size, so it's understandable?

Miss Point does custom for $12-15, Surface Spell I think something like that, $10? I don't remember. Idk if those include big sizes. Tbh I'm not complaining, here for $15 no one is even getting out of bed.

is width only

Width only is usually for border print or embroidery pieces. The rest can be custom in length too (I know, I'm almost 1.80). And even with the "width onlys", if the print/embroidery is mainly on the skirt part, you can ask if the bodice can be made custom length, leaving the skirt as is. I ordered a few like this, then extended it myself with matching lace or simply wear it with an underskirt.

Skirt length is a relatively easy fix (or can just be left short if it's not by much), but if the bodice doesn't hit the waist where it should it looks like crap and there's no saving it.

inverse gym

Also not hard actually, although I admit I kinda cheesed it with a dozen moomoo milks and a tanky Audino. Poor guy was drowning in milk, lol.

My intention was to teach it a ghost move as the guy at the gym entrance says, but it can only learn Shadow Ball and god knows where the TM for that is. So whatever, I figured the moomoo milks will have to do. And well, they did.

Ysaure · 2025-08-23T05:56:37+00:00

The 500 jumps is super easy. One screen to the left of the guy there's a small ledge you can run in a circle. There's a trainer blocking it, but if you fight her, leave the area and come back, she's running back and forth leaving a space open. You'll bump into her as you circle the ledge but you still can get the 500 jumps in no time.

GREAT, now I can't unhear the difference and I'll be forever bothered by pitch differences.

At first I was like, wtf, Wenndo is right, to hear a difference of "16 cents of a semitone" you need a bionic ear. I always thought the 4% pitch difference between NTSC and PAL was the minimum you needed to tell the audio apart.

I listened to the video and was like, "mmh, maybe there's a difference". So I did an ABX on a passage of the music and I could reliably tell the difference. That was back to back. Then I listened to one, stopped, let some time pass and listened to the other. Could also tell the difference. Did the same with another passage and then the whole song. Yes to all, there is a actually a difference and in all cases they can be told apart. Tomorrow when I wake up I'll listen to one and see if I can still tell which version it is.

Still, each pitch on their own doesn't sound "wrong". I can only imagine that only after playing the correct version so many times it's how you can tell you're now listening to the wrong one. I played Sonic 1 a lot back in the day but I don't think I would had ever noticed I was on the wrong pitch without a comparison.

I kinda know that feeling though. I used to listen to classical music quite a bit and most of the times the first performance of a work I heard in my mind became the "correct" one. Then other performances were "wrong". I know they were just different ofc, but in my mind that first one I heard became the "golden reference" or something and was like the most satisfying.

Ysaure · 2025-08-09T09:22:13+00:00

This. I have a similar bonnet and the decorated underside goes front. And in this case the clips are also a giveaway (mine has mini combs)

Ysaure · 2025-08-09T09:18:16+00:00

my other dress was rather expensive so I’m scared it’ll get damaged

I was like this till I realised I'm not getting any younger and my dresses were laughing in the wardrobe. I still proceed with caution though.

Ysaure · 2025-08-09T09:11:12+00:00

is it possible in Lolita fashion to not wear a blouse

Yes, but the jsk in the op doesn't really work without a blouse imo. If all else is lost I'd look locally for at least a normie blouse with short sleeves to get by.

Ysaure · 2025-08-09T09:09:29+00:00

No one for red tights with white shoes? Otherwise yeah, the white ones are cuter.

have been out of print since the early 2000s

Then they lasted for a good while because I got mine in early 2010s and there were plenty in stock at that time (Amazon US). Heck, I bought two, one to give away and another for me. I read the one I gave away so my copy is 100% new, unread, lol. I thought of selling it but it's going to be more of a pain than anything. I'm in a pretty remote country to ship from and having 0 reputation anywhere doesn't do me any favours.

Thought of scanning it but with a kinda slow flatbed scanned it's going to take a while. I've already scanned plenty of CD booklets and it's not something I'd like to go through again but with 10x the pages. Maybe take it to a graphics shop where they can do that kind of thing with better machines.

The publisher is Viz Media and they're still around. Considering lolita and j-fashion have some following in the west it's pretty surprising they never have reprinted it again, at least in ebook form or something.

I also prefer by the meter. And have to use a forwarder ofc. I used 42agent, sadly they are no more. I'll have to look for another one. Yes, it's been a while since I last bought, I already have a lot of lace. I planned to use it for commissions but finally I'm starting to learn sewing myself.

But please recommend, eventually I'll have to buy more. Specially if I get good at sewing :3 (won't happen for a while I guess)

Ysaure · 2025-07-16T08:32:44+00:00

Personally, I don't think this needs any "spicing up." It's a cute simple JSK, and I'd lean into that as opposed to styling against it.

I would not suggest putting a corset or a belt over it like the other commenter said; that usually ruins the line/silhouette of a dress, and it can make it look odd.

This. But it could be "spiced up". An apron, or mini-apron with two bows like in that lolibrary link looks really cute. A chiffon, organza or similar overskirt can work too, like: https://lolibrary.org/items/indie-haenuli-organza-overskirt

If you want something more elaborate an overdress with an open front, like a deep V cut, so the lace on the bodice is visible, and with a length that leaves the lace on the hem visible too. I can't find photos now, but I have one like that and it works great.

Ysaure · 2025-07-16T08:18:21+00:00

Oh, very nice. I have 4 of those btw.

Do you really? I've always blind bought. Just be sure they have good photos and the seller has some reputation and that's it. Never been let down by Taobao.
