#this is the closest I will get to cosplaying

[hot-take-tournament]

This you?

Okay, I know this is about the maid boot camp but... honestly? Yeah, kinda?

I picked up cosplay as a hobby last year, and now that's what I usually wear around the house as my "comfy clothes" (like how most people look forward to getting home and putting on sweatpants or whatever).

The thing is, I started doing it because I thought it would be easier to meet new people if when they asked "what do you in your free time" I had a response other than "I spend all day hiding in the corner of a room that's basically a landfill because the sound of the doorbell gives me a panic attack."

The closest thing I've ever had to a hobby is "I run a Tumblr where I once liveblogged drinking orange juice and buttermilk", and I can't exactly tell people that. I wanted to find a new hobby that I could share so I would seem more interesting.

I made a list of things I've always wanted to do, like cooking, art, dance, and so on. But either my ADHD brain wouldn't commit, or my bipolar brain would refuse to even try.

One thing way down that list was cosplay. Nothing else had stuck, so I thought fuck it, I'll give it a shot. I'll put together something cheap and simple, and see how it feels. If it doesn't work, that's fine, no one has to know.

But for whatever reason, this is what clicked, and now it's what I spend most of my free time doing.

Unfortunately, my dumb ass didn't realise that "I secretly dress up as anime characters" isn't a hobby you can tell people either.

So everything is exactly the fucking same, except I'm also broke as hell because I blew my entire budget on maid dresses and now I have no idea how I'm supposed to pay rent this month.

And I'm even more terrified of the doorbell because that means I have about 40 seconds to somehow dismantle a full outfit, shove it under my mattress, and tear my room apart looking for literally anything to wear because it's probably my parents dropping by unexpectedly which they've doing more and more often because they think I've been spending all that money on pot and I can't correct them because then I'd have to explain that it's really expensive to look like Marisa from TouHou.

10/10 would not recommend to anyone

i'm aroace, sex repulsed and don't get traditional romance or find the need for it, but I still often think how it would be neat to have a gf/partner for other purposes that arent romance and sexual. but it seems impossible to make someone want to date you if you take out those things????

sometimes I think it would be nice to have a gf to do cute gay cosplay photoshoots with. there would be mouth smooching and you usually can't do that with a friend and I don't really want to either, so a gf would be useful for that.

then there's hating showers because they exhaust me and it would be nice to have a gf to wash my hair and stuff for me??? can't call up a friend to do this every time I need to shower. that won't work and I doubt they'd want to/be comfortable doing that.

most friends will end up putting all their priority into their partner and/or family they create. I want someone that will make me their priority and not run off with someone else they start dating and abandon me??? something like that. their priority is cleaning our home together, hanging out together, going shopping and other domestic/partner stuff. they don't do that with someone else or use me temporarily until they can find a partner. so it's essentially dating/being partners. but it looks different from your typical expected romance and partnership.

doesn't matter how aroace I am, I have accepted that a relationship is beneficial in many ways and there's certain things that you can't expect friends to cover and they can't fill. but I have zero interest in looking for a partner in traditional ways that requires small talk/flirting/dates/etc. so that makes me realize i'll most likely not trick someone into partnering with me lmao

the internet seems to call this kind of thing "queer platonic relationship" (did I remember it right?) and you just need to find another sroace person to do it with. but either way, there's no textbook to study for how to get that and where to find these people. it seems harder than the puzzle that is regular dating tbh.

there's that saying "there's other fish in the sea" but i'm a worm in a puddle the other worms got out before they drowned. there's no fish here lmao. my options are so limited that I haven't met a single option yet in my life. there's barely any chance the first aroace person I meet irl will be compatible, or the first compatible person will accept a relationship with an aroace. you know what I mean? any other aroace that's interested in some kind of relationship/partnership and feel like you don't get that whole sea to choose from like everyone else and only have a dried up puddle? 😅

Unfortunately for everyone.. I have begun writing fic again.... It'll probably be posted on this account so!!! Idk how I'll tag it for easy finding and/or blocking but! Yea!

[awesomephd]

for the fictional character ask game post you shared; i feel like you know a lot about lister from red dwarf (i'd go as far as to say he's prolly ur fav)

it's true he is my fave I even have 2 of his shirts. I could easily fill an hour, maybe 2, talking about him

Something so funny abt my personal journey of understanding ankh as a character like

Before watching the show, his aesthetic and silly parts of his character are so me core it’s painful. Birds are my favorite animals I’ve been studying them since I was little. I also eat a stupid amount of popsicles and if I could would only eat popsicles. He’s gay and a blonde twink. Sick can’t wait to get to know him

While watching the show I was like Okay yeah he’s real selfish but also I can see the appeal of the character. His arc is confusing to me in the way that I just don’t process morally gray characters well but I’m aware this is more my brain than it is the writing for the show. He’s neat but idk how to feel abt him

Finishing the show and then watching the 10 yrs after movie. I feel like I’m looking in a mirror I’ve hidden under a sheet for 20 years fuck you also this bird twink rules and I still love popsicles
