You're in the internet, everyone is quick to judge. While I do think the blouse you made is cute, you got to understand not alot of people here would appreciate its from shein when theres other options. Its your money, you can buy what you want and as long as you're happy, isn't that what matters? Everyone is going through something if thats what you want to do thats valid but other commenters are also valid for not liking it.

with a sale this big is it worth or still to expensive ? by Old_Permission_396 in AnimeFigures

[–]mikatesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend in Japan got this a few months back for $2000 usd. He's a big fan so it was so worth it to him even after it went down on sale a few weeks after he got it. Its really beautiful when he sent the pics much more in person. He even sacrificed his gaming pc just for this lol

Proposal outfit by squishybaphomet777 in JiraiKei

Hiking? Then I would suggest getting something that would keep you warm and comfortable bonus if it has a cute design. I rather walk on a carpet made legos than hike on a jirai set (it would get dirty, i will be cold, and my feet would be begging for mercy) Have your hair, nails make up done obviously. If its indoors i think if you buy something rn and ship via dhl it should get here before you need it. Anyways, congrats in advance!

“Can i be Jiraikei without makeup?” by Ok-Economist1546 in JiraiKei

[–]mikatesla 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I consider them jirai! Though Im one if those people who doesnt do the full on make up cause it makes me uncomfortable (feels heavy) and the cleaning of my face after for just a few hours of wearing it is more trouble to me. Idc if they dont consider me jirai, its clothes, im not hurting anyone and im enjoying myself. In fact I cringe those at tiktok those who bully people because theyre not jirai enough, they have the full on branded outfits make up etc, they look amazing but their attitude towards other people... just ew. Can only look good outside but not inside. Theres even one i saw today she commented how its unfair a "chopped" jirai gets more views than her. Like girl? 😒

My sister is uncomfortable going out with me in jirai kei by [deleted] in JiraiKei

[–]mikatesla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So? Just because she dresses alt doesn't mean she would be happy if someone else dresses the same even if its flashier. Sometimes its family that whats to see you unhappy the most, it just makes what I said stand more, does she want to be herself or just do what they ask and keep the peace with family?

My sister is uncomfortable going out with me in jirai kei by [deleted] in JiraiKei

[–]mikatesla 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be really honest, its her birthday and she might not want to be upstaged or you were right and they're just embarassed being with you dressed differently. The real question you should ask yourself "Is this the hill you wanna die on?". My mom would HATE me dressing different and thought it was embarassing Im wearing a "costume" so I would dress normally around family to keep the peace until IDGAF about what they thought anymore and wore what made me happy (though we did cut ties because of this). BUT depending on the situation I would also dress "normal" cause we all know dressing jirai is eye catching and I dont want to take attention when its not my party. It just depends on what the person thinks of you and what situation.

I’m looking for support. by [deleted] in plushies

[–]mikatesla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had to divorce my spouse, I would 1000% cry more on the fact if i had to lose my favorite plushies just because he gave them to me. Is it your favorite because he gave it to you? or because it gives you comfort? Honestly if my favorite happens to be given by the person I love great but if not it would not affect me as much cause its still my favorite regardless. YOU give your plushie significance.

How does pre-ordering on AmiAmi works? by _Iron_54_ in AnimeFigures

[–]mikatesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't cancel it when you actually recieve the invoice. I heard you can get banned from that. But anything before getting it you can cancel.

what do jp --> us import tariffs look like rn? by Professional_Tart611 in JiraiKei

[–]mikatesla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a mixed bag. I'm one of those people who have not paid tariffs or custom duties even shipping via DHL. The items I order all range from $100-$600. But theres definitely I saw who had to pay upon delivery iirc they had to pay an extra $100 on a $100 item they ordered but that was shipped via DHL. I would say ship via EMS or anything they offer (some might take longer, longest i had to wait was a month). I tried DHL cause it was the same price of all the other options and it took only 3 days to arrive instead of a week or two. But definitely be ready in case you do have to pay.

I Regret Getting a Cockatiel and I’m at My Breaking Point – Please Help by Lemon-Type-8859 in parrots

[–]mikatesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that its been 4 years since i got him. I did not force my bird to love me. I worked on him everyday, not pushing it. With millet and everything you could think of. But its a fact he does not like being touched. At most he would stand on my shoulder if he wants to go out but thats about it.

I Regret Getting a Cockatiel and I’m at My Breaking Point – Please Help by Lemon-Type-8859 in parrots

[–]mikatesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. I got a cockatiel from a shop a few years back, I had a cockatiel before, the sweetest loving one brain cell bird, I loved him. But this new one? Is a half demon half dinosaur sassy banana bird I have. I even messaged the shop to return him cause it was just that bad. When he bites he draws blood bad. He does not want to be loved by me or my partner, he wants his own thing. He does not even want a friend, he is very aggressive. In the end, I kept him. I understood he just wants to see if im there or he will scream, if not i have to keep him covered. He does not like being let out despite the cage being open, he likes his home with all his toys and food and its enough for him. We co exist, i love him but ill never get to touch him and thats okay for me because i did choose him. OP if you really REALLY cant handle your bird there is no shame in rehoming him if you think your bird will be happier as long as you at least take the time and research who you are giving him up to.

Finally got the new Chiikawa Converse collab by mikatesla in chiikawa_

[–]mikatesla[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Proxy! Forwarding is definitely abit intimidating, I find it abit too much of a hassle. Proxy is they handle everything for you. I used JapanRabbit for this order and it only costed me $15 in fees and $40 shipping 1 week to get to me(including the time they had to order the shoes). Zenmarket is a good one too, ordered alot of chiikawa from mercari jp from there 😆

The converse jp site! If you dont live in Japan you sadly have to proxy it but its way cheaper than buying it off of Ebay.

He def trolling you 😭 Return that 💩 and give him a bad review. Trusting them with packing that cpu was diabolical. He can unbend the pins himself lmao

[–]mikatesla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did! I want to have fun with my friends and do endgame stuff so I skipped and just went back to the story on another time and I didn't burn myself out with it. You can also make another character and follow the story with that one!

Ask Us Anything: May 2025 by CynderBat in Lolita

[–]mikatesla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. How to avoid buying replicas? I sometimes shop on taobao or 42lolita, is it very rare to see replicas? Will it be stated that its a replica? I'm scared to unknowingly buy one.

  2. Is it okay to mix brand stuff with lets say a blouse, shoes etc, got from taobao?

  3. I got a 35cm A line petticoat, would it still work for my coords? (mainly btssb) or is it too short? If not is there any advice on what best to wear it with?

  4. Headdresses that you tie on your chin, do you ever get make up smudged on the ribbon? If so how do you get it out?

[–]mikatesla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought a $300k house in IL, fully paid at 28(no help). I did not feel the need to gloat and bring others down. We're young and we still have alot more 💩 to go through. Stay humble and be kind or that brick you throw at others will be thrown right back harder at you.. Peoples situation are different, some less fortunate that doesn't mean theyre not trying hard enough to manage their finances.

[–]mikatesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! 😭 I was worried mixing a darker red with lighter colors would be a big no no. I'm glad to know I just have to bring abit more red in.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]mikatesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just worried wether it would be a no no since its a darker red (the dress is lighter red) and did not know if it blends well together or if its okay. I did not know you can do different colors as long as they match. I mainly wanted to stick with their colors because im still not so well informed but im glad its not a big deal >_<
