Does anyone have any scans from vol 1-4 of this zine? (Or other obscure lolita zines in general?)
>>10905174Before internet they were a big deal, alt subcultures got their info from zines. I get you, I wish we have more quality zines but we don't even blog anymore.
>>10905175Just take the L and go. No one has a scan of your mediocre zine. Ugly quilt, bad taste.
>>10905176NTA but no, they shouldn't be really low quality, they're supposed to be passion projects. Low budget is different than low effort and low effort tends to be ita. I feel like it's one of those things where the people who chose to attempt it are the exact people who shouldn't. They don't have to be amazing or anything, but many I've seen especially in the western comm are narcissistic circle jerks. They tend to act like very personal opinions or experiences are universal and treat them like fact which is weird. >>10905060>>10905072This isn't really a zine and the page looks cringe in the personal ways I was talking about. Whoever drew that is really freakish. Also it appears to be written by 2 people.
>>10905239sorry let me just make an entirely new thread next time to look for a specific book instead of posting it in the already existing book-adjacent thread. youre so right. theres more to the book. it was a collaborative effort. There are multiple different comics, testimonials, etc. I want to read it first to form an opinion on it.
bumping this thread before it dies. would posting cgl-adjacent zines like idol zines be okay?
When did anime conventions in the west become pride events?
>>10906702probably got removed for being off topic. I don't know why people are so embarrassed to admit nerd culture has always been an outcast culture until only fairly recently- especially with the satanic panic- so of course marginalized people will be a part of it as well and want to feel welcomed. There might be a tendency for corporate to water down these ideas and make it hot white guy with glasses who's "just a little quirky" but I seriously don't like seeing it amongst our own. You're all autistic as fuck and you know it. I am too. Normies don't discriminate and absolutely see you fucks in the same light but you think you're better because at least you're not "degenerate" or some retard shit.
>>10906702Also just some of the dumbest shit I've read. Like the dude was too fucking dumb to even be too hateful.

>>10908675Not everyone wants to see porn 24/7, sometimes you just want to admire beautiful cosplay.

>>10904097Even with photoshop her manjaw is so fucking offputting. Why cosplay a pedobait character if you’re over the age of 13? Kill all lolifags.
Name: Faira StarRussian cosplayer, she's very popular in China but not so much in the west. She's a chinaboo, and cosplays characters from games and old anime, plus her favorite vocaloid.Her skills as a model are top tier, but what sets her above the rest are her dance videos, and that she makes most of her costumes (pic related, self made). She also takes commission work though it may take time to finish the project. She joined an agency months ago and is currently swamped in official work for Genshin in China.

Guys, how old is too old?Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.
>>10906476>Guys, how old is too old?No age is too old as long as you aren't letting your saggy dick/tits hang out of some skimpy costume. But all costhots are disgusting regardless of age.
the only thing cringe is not enjoying something you like because you think you're "too old"
>>10906921Well put.
>>10906476You went in what I consider the golden years so it won't be anything like you remember but cons can still be fun. Cosplaying an age appropriate character especially. I don't think anyone would think you're out of place. The average con age is probably higher now than when we went. Enjoy. Have a good time. I'm not quite as old (mid 30s) but I still enjoy soloing cons. The feeling you get at cons, even with the way the scene has changed (for the worse), it's hard to capture anywhere else.
>>10906476No such thing as too old man, I see plenty of people in their 50s. Plenty of characters to cosplay no matter what age you are.
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
>>10902169I mostly agree with you. I prefer the streamlined minimalist look for fabric tails, especially since the fins that are just fabric only sort of flop around aimlessly in the water. I did make an exception for the Merbella collab tails because I really like the shape and pattern of the fins, and I put inserts in so they'd be stiffer and stand out better from the body. But I think most of the finfolk fin designs take up too much space and are too blobby... especially with calf and hip fins both. they kinda make the body look shapeless.
Do older finfolks ever get cycled through again or is every single month a one-time deal?
>>10904826Most of the time, the tail-of-the-months are scuba knit ("new fabric") rereleases of older tails. Esspecially designs that were only released in the original neoprene ("old fabric"), or the early scuba knit ones that didn't have extra fin options. However this past year since the summer and fall sales were all Merbella collab tails, they broke away from that trend and have been releasing a lot more new/original designs as tails of the month, i assume so they can still have their "own" designs from this year. Plus they have the time to make new ones since Raven took on the silicone sculpting/painting for summer/fall. I suspect that once this collab ends they will return to more rereleases instead of new designs for tails of the month. I know they also use it as a chance to color-correct some of the original neoprene designs where the colors were less saturated or off what they intended (see original vs rerelease dragonheart). Older designs that have had rereleases (some even rerelased twice, as scuba knit without fins and later with fins) are: Classic Cleo, Eternal Ember, Sea Sapphire, Shoal Green, Dragonheart, Starcrossed Silver, Glaucus Atlanticus, Madison, All Hallow's Eve, Oracle... actually it'd be a lot faster to list the ones that HAVEN'T had rereleases yet honestly. Though they do prioritize designs and colors that people request most often.I will note they have said they won't rerelase collaboration tails after the collabs have ended though. So for instance they won't rerelease the Kariel collab tails again, because they're no longer in a partnership with her and she has her own business selling tails. Not that they parted on bad terms it just would be weird contract/copyrights wise I think.
my merman tail is probably very dusty now
>>10904973Really wish I could have gotten one of the merbella ones. Sigh.
I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)

Has anyone ever done dress specific themed nails? I'd love to see if so. Thinking of trying my hand at replicating some of my favorite prints onto my nails.

helloo!!! I did a Len cosplay not too long ago and i was wondering if yall have any advice C: !!
>>10905944dumdum, I ( >>10902293 ) am not OP. I was complimenting OP, silly. just saying how I'd like to possibly do a similar cosplay
We need the IP counter back.
>>10896820>>10896823Looks good anon! Very cute. If you want to get into leatherwork that'd make better versions of the arm/leg cuffs. But it's hard. You may be better off with a thicker vinyl, just to make them less ripply
Not bad! If the tie is detachable from the shirt, I'd recommend switching it out with an actual yellow necktie (color matched as best as you can) since those are usually better quality than ties that are made to go with cosplay sets.
>>10896820>>10896823cutethis takes me backprops for not having a wig that’s crimped to hell to look like a mmd model

I've been getting a lot of people telling me that my clothes are nice while wearing lolita.I had one experience that stood out a little bit, maybe because it may have been my earliest experience of this kind, someone said I looked nice, and asked if I was wearing a traditional national costume, and I explained that it was a style from Japan.

Old thread is hitting the image limit >>10715389This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

cute thread
The biggest one (Anime North) is hardly relevant and only has washed up VAs, random indie vtubers, or just straight up completely unknown people as their guests. The vendors are mostly just people reselling cheap stuff from taobao or stolen prints. It feels so shittily put together that I think I'll just not buy a ticket and instead stroll around outside taking pictures of cool cosplays. Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but the grass always seems greener on the other side.On a side note, if anybody's into Project Moon stuff, please hit me up, I... I wanna make friends.

>>10904283What do people even talk to VAs about? I'm too awkward.Isn't the point of vtubers hiding your face because you're too ugly/male?What's the obsession with vendor halls? It's all shit you can buy online instead of wasting time in a packed smelly room.
