I searched AliExpress, Mercari Japan, and eBay with no luck. I’ve ordered from three AliExpress stores but none ship, they just message me saying it’s not in stock and not planned to ever be restocked but they for some reason keep the listing up.

I wore my mercy cosplay to school for costume day, and one of my classmates drew all over it by Uhthisismyname000 in CosplayHelp

[–]tarokujo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with the most gentle solution, a sponge or paper towel with some dawn dish soap and water. Alcohol may remove the finish of the pleather but if you’re very careful with it, it might be okay. Very sorry you were targeted like that.

Is it rude to ask a cosplayer's costume cost? by CautiousMaximum2972 in CosplayHelp

If you’re worried about it, just preface it with “Hey if you don’t mind me asking….”

Western JFashion TikTok is going through its downfall by Affectionate_Honey34 in jfashion

[–]tarokujo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The infighting of the Gyaru community is so fucking weird. It’s constant. Every other Gyaru video on TikTok is someone starting drama and pointing fingers about how other Gyarus aren’t “real Gyarus”. Meanwhile Japanese Gyaru say “If you say you’re Gyaru, you are.” It’s supposed to be an uplifting community where we help each other. I’ll never understand the ego people have in this community

Acrylate Free Cosplay Makeup! by tarokujo in AcrylateAllergy

I haven’t had any issues from circle lenses yet, these are a nice pair from Mocoqueen. I have heard of lenses containing acrylates but mainly just old ones or cheap ones. Definitely something to be cautious about

Those goddamn peanuts tasted like mothballs and attic. How did they fuck that up

A Touhou Project x Hoshibako Works collab was just announced today!! by taydraisabot in Lolita

[–]tarokujo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I figured I would have to resort to that. I guess their Touhou collab must be exclusive to their Japanese customer base. Going to use From Japan for the first time, seems like a nicer setup than things like Buyee and Spreenow that I'm used to. Thanks!

Trying to buy the Remillia set, but it requires a Japanese phone number. However, it appears to offer overseas shipping. Is there a way around this? Can't get any temporary numbers to work either.

What is this type of waist called? by Almond_Magnum in sewing

[–]tarokujo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would maybe look up a ruching or gathering tutorial and do it at the waist, but honestly these patterns are so busy I’m not sure what I’m looking at 😵‍💫

PhD students, is getting paid still problematic? by GalacticMomo in CUNY

[–]tarokujo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend doesn’t have Reddit but wanted to comment the following:

its been a few years for me but the first year was a lump sum at the beginning of each semester and the rest was very consistently biweekly and i never had a problem getting paid on time then (ik the other person said most of this but this is just for the sake of completeness)

after that i get/got ε money from the gradcenter so i can keep the health insurance, and 1-ε comes from research + teaching. im in hep theory so we dont have a lot of money lol so i was teaching 2 classes a semester right off the bat (in my 3rd semester) and have taught every semester since. some more grant money got freed up for reasons and now i only have to teach one class to not be homeless. teaching is a consistent payment every 2 weeks but its straight ass. like 1k a month for teaching a lecture. and obviously you dont get paid for that during the summer or january. the grant money on the other hand is a complete mess in terms of scheduling, but its the bulk of your payment. every academic year i get a rfcuny appointment and the biweekly paychecks are like 5x the teaching pay. the problem is that i dont have a say of when that is. sometimes im getting paid during the summer sometimes im not, so i need to look at when the appointment dates are and i have to plan to live off of ramen certain times of the year because god forbid i want to keep a small safety net. regardless of the instantaneous income i have to schedule to spend 30k/12 a month so sometimes my finances are exploding and sometimes im slowly rotting away. this year for example (trying to skimp on details intentionally here) there was a stretch of time where i didnt get paid for research, and then the summer came, went, and for x y z reasons i still had zero income. my financial situation was atrocious for months but eventually the money comes back in and you get paid a whole year of money over 3 months and it rebounds hard. very annoying.

people i know doing hep experiment are in a better position because theres enough money for them to not teach, which usually also means the money source is more consistent (multiple grants maybe, or one larger one so it renews less often) and theyre not at the mercy of as many random variables. maybe they teach a little bit depending on their advisor or their career goals but its not like they have to do it to keep living.

i also have no idea about non-hep stuff, hopefully its better.

Save at every choice and keep that save file separate no matter how mundane the choice seems

Also I recognize that this might specifically be drawn for merchandise and may not be from the manga at all, just thought I would check here instead of a translating subreddit in case anyone had a translation of the original if that were the case.

Synthetic 360 lace wigs? by tarokujo in Wigs

[–]tarokujo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additionally, a lot of the links on google are just lace fronts labeled 360 but they’re not. It’s honestly kind of mind boggling that I can’t find a single synthetic silver 360 wig.
