I'm glad that Konishi doesn't catcall me although I picture him using the short version of my name to make me melt.

I tried to like the JP voice but I think I'm over Japanese dubs in general. Glad it works for you anon.

I like him better because I'm more used to Otome games, and the fact most of the VA worked doing +18 audios so the gasping and moans do not sound forced at all

It happens when the weight loss is quite slow over time. This is 67 lbs in 11 months btw

Even more impressive with 294 to 160 with bariatric surgery

You can't really choose which areas become slimmer and which areas become thicker, otherwise everyone would look like Sims or IMVU avatars.
Maybe try only doing cardio?

>>488396
i wish. i hate my curves. you can't really do anything to work out in a way that would get rid of it, only starve yourself which is obviously bad

>>488134
Seriously wish I had an answer to this because I have realized abruptly how much using other services sucks, as soon as I'm forced to resort to trawling through other sites I get pangs of longing for the Lacemarket filter system.

actually maybe this is a good spot to ask for a second opinion: I already know I'm overthinking this but I'm going to a brand-sponsored tea party in about a month's time and I thought it would be an appropriate gesture to wear something from one of the brands being featured. However, there's also a second brand and a model coming, and now I'm wondering if I should also try to show support for those other attendees (or the model's collabs) in a similar fashion, or if that'll be seen as tryhard. I've never been to an "official" tea party tbh so I have no idea what to expect. Maybe they'll have like a pop-up shop where I can buy at the event to show willing?

Like I'm not judging anyone else but I would feel some kind of way about going totally off-brand. Taobao is fine but it feels gauche to show up wearing Chinese shit when those manufacturers probably mean a lot stiffer market competition these days. JFC I'm going to hack this JSK into a skirt once I'm done, though, my tits are losing circulation in this thing.

LovelyLor has released yet another 'imageboard lolitas were such meanies' video. L take overall. pls can we have recommendations for lolita channels that are better than this?

to do my part in contribution, although it's probably already well-known, i love watching Misako's vlogs. She manages to find charm even in completely charmless stores. Like, if you can go to Walmart and convince me there's cute products there like the bear-shaped honey container? That's a true talent.

>>488720
"i don't see the problem. if she released this in 2025 everyone would call this lolita 100%"
>cherry-picked the best images of DD
>intentionally excludes shit like the marvel fabric atrocities

excuse the low quality i have completely forgotten how to make imageboard content but this should prove the point beyond 10,000 words

>>488720
>pls can we have recommendations for lolita channels that are better than this?
I like Exoltic but she deleted her latest videos. Hope she resumes posting, i love how cozy her vlogs and hauls are

>>488566
I visited a con with this same situation for a tea party before. Most people wore coords from one brand or the other (the primary brand did have the most main pieces represented), some combined both brands together (ie: a main piece from one paired with accessories from the other), some wore just an accessory from one of the two brands, and then some attendees didn't wear anything from either brand (nor the model's collab items from various brands). Wearing from one of the brands was encouraged, but it wasn't a requirement. There were a few people in taobao slop or normie prom dresses, and most attendees avoided them. They did have a pop up shop in the vendor hall selling items from both brands, but it was held separately from the tea party. The situation may be different depending on if the tea party you're attending is at a con or at a shop (I would suspect a shop would have stricter requirements than a con). Ultimately, you wouldn't go wrong wearing a coord from the primary brand. Depending on if it's an arrangement such as the upcoming one at Harajuku Hearts where it's an ETC tea party and Melody BasKet (who is under the same parent company J-Jolly) is also there, you likely wouldn't go wrong with wearing a Melody BasKet coord where as if it was instead a Metamorphose Tea Party and Triple Fortune was also at the same event, it'd be better to skew towards the Tea Party's featured brand then. If you have serious questions, maybe reach out to the event organizer for further clarification.

>What is your favorite thing to clean? Least favorite?
My favorite thing to clean is my desk! Putting everything back in order and being able to use my keyboard without grief is always a plus.
My least favorite thing to clean is GREASE. I don't know why people have an issue with getting grease everywhere when they cook but getting it off the stove and walls is MISERABLE. They never wipe it down themselves so by the time I see the mess, it is congealed and sticky and awful to clean. Does any nonna have tips for this??
>Do you judge the cleanliness of other people’s homes when you visit?
No! I'm kind of a lazy pig, so the only thing I judge is how clean your dishes in the cabinets are.
>What cleaning device or product do you use the most?
Clorox wipes. I know they probably aren't the best. But they are so easy to use and then I don't have to wash anything later. I'm always nervous the rags I wash aren't really clean.

>>447035
I also like listening to podcasts while cleaning! I get bored too easily, and if you're watching TV you aren't working. I've always had trouble motivating myself to start cleaning, so I listen to comedy podcasts to make my brain think we're having so much fun KEK
Are there any podcasts you would recommend?

I am about to move on a flat with no roommates and I am so relieved I won’t need to clean after others’ people messes and finally keep my space clean and tidy.
That being sad, it’s been years I’ve taken care of a home by my own (I used to live alone when my mom went back to our country leaving me at her place by my own but I was a teenager and didn’t have many cleaning skills).

What are good routine practices to keep the space clean and don’t end up building chores to do on my only day off from work? I’m talking daily dusting, bathroom checks, how should I split chores and how often should I mop the floors?
I also have lots of books, is there a way to keep from gathering too much dust or should I suck it up and clean often?

>>447161
>My least favorite thing to clean is GREASE. Does any nonna have tips for this??
Not super helpful but using a splatter guard like picrel when cooking messy things cuts down quite a bit on the grease. Otherwise try a grease cleaner with a scrub daddy. I’ve heard good things about Tangerine Clean and the Pink Stuff. In a pinch glass cleaner works too because of the ammonia. Do recommend a scrub daddy though for scrubbing, I swear they’re not a psyop but actually amazing scrubbers.
>Clorox wipes. I know they probably aren't the best. I'm always nervous the rags I wash aren't really clean.
I use these all the time too. They’re so convenient for a quick wipe down. I’m the same way with reusable rags. I might use them for things like cleaning mirrors or shining stainless steel appliances, but definitely not for wiping down the toilet or anything.

>>447163
>how should I split chores and how often should I mop the floors?
First congrats on living on your own! That’s super exciting and a big step. Each person’s routine is different depending on their lifestyle. I have a cat so I mop my floors more often than you might have to for instance. In general I break it down like this:

>Kitchen: Wipe down countertops and appliances after cooking. Always wash my dishes or load the dishwasher before I go to bed. Spray down sink with disinfectant. Sweep every other day. Swiffer mop once a week and actually mop about once a month.
>Bathroom: Wipe down sink every day. Put away any styling, makeup, or skincare products when done. Clean toilet bowl and wipe down with disinfectant + bleach once a week. Do the same with my counter, making sure to move anything and clean under it. I use Method’s daily shower cleaner to spray down the shower after I use it. Because of this I only have to scrub the shower once every two weeks. Swiffer mop once a week. Actually mop every three weeks.
>Bedroom: Vacuum and change sheets once a week. I try to put stuff away after using it but my nightstand tends to become cluttered quickly. I try to tidy up once a month, including dusting.

Has anyone tried incorporating feng shui into their interior design? Some of it is a bit out there, but I kinda like learning about it.

Hey nonas need some tips organizing and staying organized. I’m gradually decluttering my apartment and starting with my kitchen first. I’m a messy person and finally live in my own place and have been living here for a few years. As such, I have been haphazardly accumulating things and living by the moid mantra of leaving things where they are and never putting it away. And it’s driving me insane. I’m finally going to try to be a cleaner more organized person for my sanity and stress levels.

I have a strange kitchen layout and it’s your typical new small condo kitchen (odd spaces that your eyes will never see and your hands will have to reach). Some of my cabinets are DEEP, particularly the corner cabinets. And the ceilings are high so I need a step stool to reach the third shelf. As of now, these spaces aren’t used at all and I’m just putting the most used things on my counter tops which stresses me out cuz there’s so much clutter.

I only have one small drawer and it’s neatly organized for small things like cutlery and rubber bands, potato chip clips, can opener, the kitchen scissors. It’s like a misc drawer so I think I’ll leave it like that. Below that is a bigger drawer where I put all my Tupperware in and ziploc bags, a lemon squeezer and a rolling pin. It’s kind of chaotic… but I use the Tupperware a lot and it’s in an easily accessible space. And below that drawer is where I put my potatoes and rice and onions, ginger and garlic. The amount of onion skin shedding is driving me insane so I finally put it in a canvas bag and shake it out every week.

The cabinets above those 3 drawers are as follows: top shelf is empty, mid shelf has all my breakfast needs (cereals, oatmeal, nuts and dried fruit) and bottom shelf is a mish mash of medicines and vitamins with spices and baking soda and corn starch. Idk wtf I was thinking with the bottom shelf… but anyway I got lazy and now some spices are below the cabinet and on the countertop kek. I got a lazy Susan for the most used spices on my kitchen counter. I have my food processor and rice cooker and kettle on the same counter too. And oils and balsamic vinegar.

The cabinet next to that one is strange because it goes in deep and it’s partially obstructed by the previous cabinet (it’s in an L shape). Top shelf WAS empty but I put my baking supplies up there with flours and sugars. Prob not a good idea because if the flour or sugar falls im going to get powderPost too long.

I know I’m not straight but not quite ready to come out as being attracted to women because it might irreparably damage my relationship with my family.
If I am truly bisexual I can wait to date until I meet a man I am attracted to and not have to bother with the whole coming out thing,

>>488599
Dude… you're definitely a lesbian. You're only settling with your current BF because you're lonely and have no one else to hold you.

About the family part, I hope you're not thinking of marrying the guy because you will regret and might even resent him in the long run.

Also, I think it would be best for the both of you to separate. You can't LARP that you like "woohoo"ing 'til death when it seems like you don't even like it and it's shitty on his part to be with someone who feigns attraction/lust. Both of you are getting hurt by this.

>>488599
You sound like a lesbian to me. Bi women don't have to Jedi mind trick themselves into tolerating sex with men.

>>489269
I think so too. However I enjoyed being fingered because of the sensation of being fingered and having the right buttons pushed without feeling any attraction, so I thought that would make me bi. I asked him if we’d still be best friends if we weren’t together and he said yes. Because I don’t think I want this for the rest of life, but I would miss the friend I do so much mischief with and share all secrets with.
>>489378
To be fair, the pavlovian conditioning did briefly weakly work, I just still really struggled to cum thinking of men and tried really hard, and if I stop affirming attraction to the opposite sex, the weak signal goes away. However I now feel like forcing yourself to feel something like this is retarded and he values me enough as a friend to stay friends, im so relieved!

>>488599
So this is what's running through our sims' minds when they're having woohoo and we just don't know it because we can't speak simlish. Dark.

Hello cat gif nona, I would like to ask for a work related reading. I am 19 years old and I need to pick a university. There is a special one that pays you to study there and gives you an affordable home. It is a government job and the testing to be accepted is supposedly pretty brutal. Lots of competition with people from families that already have a history of working there. This is my first choice since I want to get away from my home life but my mom keeps taking my money and never gives it back. To have this job I would have to move far away which is great because I never want to be visited ever. I'm wondering if this is the right path. I called the lady in charge and she indirectly told me on the phone that I should look for something else. To pass the entrance exam I have to learn a whole new language and I'm scared that it might not work. Especially since I don't have the funds to afford actual language tutors. Then there is the fear of me not fitting into the job. But I feel that I have to, what else is there for me anyway? Thanks cat nona. You always come in clutch

Hey tarotnonas, tomorrow is my 25th birthday. Can I get a reading on what this new year of my life will bring?

>>488621
>pisces
Well that's all I need to know. You probably have BPD and self sabotage yourself constantly. Probably dysfunctional in relationships too.(bait)

>>488744
I wanted a reading, not astrological racism. Chill out

>>488764
Yeah, and you will experience self sabotage (probably in work and artistic and hobby endeavors) and relationship dysfunction (friend and romantic), so really try to get out of your groundhog's day habits. I mean this genuinely but I understand I was being overly flippant and rude in the beginning so I apologize for that. Also work on self-reflection and overly sensitive and reactive nature.

>>484557
Nice! I don't really listen to denpa anymore but I loved UNDER17 when I did, I even have their autographs kek. Toromi and Mosaic.wav are also classics. Always good to hear when people listen to denpa that isn't Nanahira. I'm pretty busy currently, but I'll consider adding you at a later date!

I am nerdy, I'm strange, I'm passionate about things I like sometimes to a neurotic degree and I have ADHD tendencies. I either yap too much or I'm not in the mood to talk at all. I get obsessed with characters and series that mean a lot to me really easily, I probably have a new obsession every month.

People in real life often say that I seem like a very serious person. I think I'm pretty goofy and silly. I’m a sperg but not the kind who will never ask you about yourself.
>Hobbies and pastimes
I love otome games, let’s talk about them! I’m a big yanderefag who likes edgy and nostalgic things. I play some other VNs/vidya too but not super often. I enjoy baking, crafting, and playing guitar and I have a small collection of BJD/Pullip. Not a super frequent anime/manga connoisseur these days but I love older shoujo series like Princess Tutu. I also like things with cute all-male casts, reverse harem, and retarded gag anime. And some outliers like FLCL. I don’t usually like shounen anime though. I’m into some pretentious music bullshit so maybe we could swap music charts/topsters or something if that sparks your interest. I'm also studying Japanese and would love to practice through writing messages.

>>485626
Wide legged pants, some docs or sneakers, and a plain white tucked shirt makes me feel unbelievably sexy. Fuck the haters anon I see your vision.

European anons, what are some clothing sites/apps that lets you sort by material? Or stores that sells natural fabrics only

>>488595
Vinted and ebay both let you sort by material

>>488595
On Zalando you can filter by material. On Vinted you can too but idk how that reliable that is.

What can I do to better understand which clothing looks good on me? I have a general idea of what works for me and I have looked into Kibbe, although I’m not a big fan of the latter simply because it is created by a man whose sense of style seems consistently outdated. What are some other resources I could look into so as to make shopping and styling easier?

>>488562
Anon we're not going to be able to tell, you're severely underweight and think it's healthy. There is no way you're judging your body objectively.

>>488563
Well then an average-weighted person with the same problem.

>>488564
You're probably a natural.

>>488460
Agreed, a lot of the before and afters/makeovers look awful
>>488504
Kek and this too, which would explain why he's so overly strict with it compared to other parts of the system. Like changing it so that even 5'6 women, which isn't even that tall, can only choose 3 types is bizarre. I would understand the limit for extreme heights but that? And his claims that all celebs lie about their height whenever anyone points out the tall women he placed into shorter IDs, even when there's tons of evidence of the stated height being true (i'm not saying celebs never lie, just that the taller ones he typed have actual proven tall heights)
