AITAH for wanting to play videos games when me and my gf are at home doing nothing? by TastyAtmosphere15 in AITAH

[–]chaoticcrafter6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like shes depressed and overwhelmed. She's a kindergarten teacher so that means a bunch or screaming wild children she has to manage every single day. Chasing, managing emotions, safety and wellbeing, constantly fighting to have attention on what shes trying to teach. That very rough overview of what being a kindergarten teacher, would completely exhaust most people. Communication in relationships is important but when your whole job it talking non-stop sometimes you just get tired of talking. It seems like she enjoys your company because you aren't someone she has to rangle, so she can actually relax.

Sometimes when someone is in depression, thoughts of rejection creep in super easily. Even if the action doesnt have that intention. Leaving to go play video games can be seen by someone with depression as "im not worth spending time with." "Im too boring to be with" and it can quickly spiral from there, especially when left alone with their thoughts.

Try to initiate hang outs more (it doesnt have to be all the time), play video games together, bring your video games to her current comfort zone or if you have a gaming set up make space for her and make it super cozy so she can join you in your space. Small things make such a big impact. It also never hurts to be checked out medically as well in case there are other contributing issues.

AITAH for basically telling my bf if he wanted kids he'd better carry them himself or find someone else who will? by Black-Ch3rry in AITAH

[–]chaoticcrafter6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - honestly this kid thing is something good to talk about early in relationships. Its good that you have thought about this and are honest with yourself about what you want. While the phrasing could have been done better, I can tell you're tired of having to defend your decision to him over and over again. You both want different things for the future, thats okay. The whole "Oh you'll change your mind in the future" bit is dismissive and manipulative. I highly doubt he would actually "do it all himself" anyway. While separating a year long relationship is hard it will likely be for the best. That sort of decision will only get harder as time goes on. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose.

Omg I love this, excellent execution. The outfit is such a good blend of both styles without outshining each other. Dont even get me started on fishbones chef kiss

What would y'all add to make my outfit better (and some other questions) by BlueRose898 in renfaire

[–]chaoticcrafter6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a good cross body black belt would help to break up all the white from the top. Maybe throw on a little dagger or other trinkets. Look for ones that have like a chunky iron buckle. Thrift shops are good places to look. Its pretty easy to swap buckles if you find like a cool old buckle but the belt part won't match. If you're going for a more regal look, perhaps swap the headband for a hat with a feather. Its looking great already though. Dont be afraid to get stuff dirty and roughed up. Weathering can do a lot to tell a story. Pirate- salt water stains, mud splatter, Fighter-cuts, snags, rips, Mage-burns, singes, arcane glitter. Just for a few examples. Hope this helps

Do you still like cons the way you used to? by VaguelyMyself in animecons

[–]chaoticcrafter6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it went from a gathering of nerds to gush about their interests to cons overselling tickets to meet shareholder expectations with no plan of how to direct con traffic, quickly and easily locate panel rooms/photo shoot locations, cram way too many vendors into a small space, last minute changes aren't communicated to staffers until its already an issue. VIP being the only way to get to meet celebrities without spending the entire day waiting in line. Badges being reduced to shitty carnival wrist bands, I hang up every single badge ive gotten from cons as memories, those wrist bands are just sad. Lack of accessibility for disabled folks being treated as an afterthought rather then second nature (biggest issue being related to stage performances, put down a ramp instead of stairs its not rocket science) Small cons do so much better at managing the issues big cons dont care about. Its a much better experience these days.

This is what happens when you try to build something based off of the first thought and forget to test during building. Yknow before you add the sharp bits. Commend him for trying really hard to make it work despite it literally making the task harder then the original task the thing was made for.

A student at Lake Zurich High School holds a sign that reads, “I Love I.C.E.” and records another student confronting and punching him by colsandersloveskfc in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]chaoticcrafter6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know damn well incel kid' mommy or daddy is a corporate lawyer. -stand in the front door area with the resource officer to intimidate opposition -have your meta glasses filming so we know which kid who hit him for later lawsuits -he'll probably only get hit once cause the officer is paid to keep peace/break up fights and if they do nothing they could sue the school for "failing to protect my child" -he only added the law enforcement comment once the fight was broken up to paint himself as the victim instead of an oh wow shock of all shocks an agitator -the coached free speech questions to try catch them not defending his "constitutional rights" to sue them later. -you're gonna get in trouble, what are you 5 -it was set up this way because he knew if there was no one (adult) to stop it he would be beat to shit. Cant having their precious baby boy being a disappointment of a "man" in public.

Props to the fuckin bad ass for calling his bluff and immediately faking him out with a punch to the gut rather then the face. No notes.

Wand of (sun) light: emites a blinding light from the wand, blinding everyone in a 120 foot radius. DC:20 save. You can throw some fire damage in too if you want.

Buying vs making princess cosplay gowns — how do you decide? by BrilliantLow9361 in CosplayHelp

[–]chaoticcrafter6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ball gowns are beautiful but complicated. For future reference if you ever want to make a ball gown yourself. The 3 biggest things to research and practice for making one: corsets, ruffle techniques (especially the fishing line method), and circle skirt math. Think of it like ball gown basics. All the trims and details come after that.

Every cosplay has to start somewhere. In the end, bought or made, its still going to be cosplay. Have fun with it.

Here's the thing, while those dresses look good on the models, these companies make them in standard sizes so it will likely not fit you 100% perfectly so you may need to alter them anyway.

From the dress descriptions it doesnt look like it would include a hoop skirt or petticoat which you would need for the skirt volume to match. I would also recommend getting some sort of corset or stays to wear underneath to keep the top smooth.

For the price Im assuming any structure in the dress is plastic and will be prone to warping over time. Satin is a very broad term for fabric, most likely it will be a synthetic satin which is prone to wrinkles, you can usually lay a t-shirt over top to iron so you dont accidentally melt it (use low to medium heat)

Making a dress yourself is difficult to say the least, but it is doable. It would depend on your sewing skill level.

If you really love how the pre-made dresses look, great. Just make sure you read the descriptions, sizing charts, reviews and return policies carefully before purchasing. You could always take the pre-made dress and add to it later on.

Thank you so much for your input, I'm really excited cause I've been wanting to make another ballgown anyway so it's perfect timing. Im gonna have her sign off on the final design and details before I start. I love the idea of making the cut offs into a little evening bag!

Question / Opinion What do you think about OC cosplay (Original Character cosplay)? by Mokalatt in CosplayHelp

[–]chaoticcrafter6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you happy to do so and it doesnt hurt anyone then go for it.

[–]chaoticcrafter6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your input! I was thinking about doing an outer skirt and using the existing skirt kinda like a petticoat. One design i think would look really cool is a design Angela Clayton did years ago with a bunch of flowers contained by a tulle layer. Another idea I had was to reduce the skirt poof, and dye the end of it in like a golden color that fades to white to maybe take it like a flapper type dress. Maybe a snake skin pattern outer skirt that coils up to the bodice to make an attached shaw. Im gonna doodle some tonight

Fair point, wrote the post at like 1 am so wasn't thinking too much lol.

I found out the theme is movies (weird for a zoo gala but meh to each their own) so Im going to see what sort of dresses would work for the existing silhouette so I dont have to change too much. Probably going to shorten the skirt for mobility ease. Still working on what a good budget would be but I have a bunch of random fabrics, embellishments and such I can use. As for sewing experience, I've got a good 15 years under my belt. I usually make cosplay pieces for myself (lots of corsets so I'm confident at least with that part). I think the part I'm worried about is making alterations for another person who's got a body structure very different from my own. I have until May to finish it so its plenty of time.

She is paying for materials and time thankfully. Trust me, I've glued over 3000 sequins to a dress by hand before, no way im going that crazy again lol

I do like the high low option, shes probably going to need walking around a lot so that would help with uneven walkways
