(Urgent!) Um, hello, my crush/best friend called me a manipulative bitch, and it really hurt my feelings and its still really upsetting me. i am not sure what happened, but it took me by surprise, and i think i just lost him as a friend. after all i've done for him, i feel like he betrayed me. i trusted him and he broke that, and i don't think i can trust anyone anymore. this isnt the first time hes done this, and i feel like hes using my fears against me. maybe im paranoid? help (Karkat please)

CG: OKAY I UNDERSTAND YOUR DILEMMA BUT I ALSO THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE WAY YOU WORDED THE MESSAGE YOU JUST SENT ME. 

CG: “AFTER ALL I’VE DONE FOR HIM,” AND TALKING ABOUT NOT TRUSTING ANYONE ANYMORE IS ACTUALLY A HUGE GUILT TRIP OR MANIPULATION TACTIC. 

CG: I’M NOT SAYING YOU’RE DOING IT ON *PURPOSE* AND I REALLY FUCKING DON’T THINK YOU DESERVE TO BE CALLED A BITCH, BUT INTERNALIZED BEHAVIORS THAT CAN INVOLVE EMOTIONAL STRAIN OR MANIPULATION ARE SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT IN YOURSELF.

CG: YOUR FRIENDSHIP SHOULDN’T BE BASED ON HOW MUCH YOU’VE DONE FOR HIM. IT MIGHT BE HARD TO HEAR, BUT HE DOESN’T OWE YOU SHIT. HE MIGHT BE TRYING TO GET A RESPONSE BY USING YOUR FEAR OF LOSING HIM, OR HE MIGHT ACTUALLY NOT WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU ANYMORE. 

CG: PEOPLE DON’T OWE OTHER PEOPLE THINGS LIKE FRIENDSHIP OR RELATIONSHIPS JUST BECAUSE THEY DO THINGS FOR EACH OTHER. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GROW APART AND IT’S FUCKING NORMAL, AND IF YOUR BEHAVIORS AREN’T COMPATIBLE ANYMORE, WELL, FUCK IT. 

CG: I KNOW I MIGHT BE SOUNDING LIKE A MASSIVE DICK RIGHT NOW, BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED A WAKE UP CALL TO START LOOKING AT THE WAY YOU AND OTHER PEOPLE ACT, AND INTERACT.

Your Aradia is exactly how I picture Aradia in my head. Plus all the rest of your cosplays are amazing. I found your blog when a friend reblogged something you posted and you have earned another follower. Keep up the great work!

Okay hey!! 

While I hella appreciate all the loving on my cosplay post (seriously guys, over 1k notes?? Dang!!) I’m not the only one here!!

Tons of the other mods cosplay, I guess I’m just the most forward about it?? I get the most questions about it at least.

This is not where my cosplay is posted, my cosplay is posted on my personal blog 2srooky. 

Thank you very much

Next year i'm supposed to go to Anime Expo with my best friend. I had told him that I wanted to cosplay as a genderbend karkat. He smiled but didn't say anything till 5 minutes later he said: 'I hate karkat cosplayers. they just never look right.' (I always supported him with his different cosplay ideas) after that day I started to doubt myself and decided to not cosplay at all. I don't know what to do especially since my dad already paid for the passes. Karkat can you give me some advice?

CG: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HATE KARKAT COSPLAYERS? I'M FUCKING *GREAT* MOST OF THE TIME. 

CG: IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, FUCK THAT. COSPLAY WHO YOU WANT, HOW YOU WANT, AND IF ANYONE GETS IN YOUR WAY, DON'T BE AFRAID TO BYPASS THEM. 

CG: COSPLAY IS FUN, COSPLAY ISN'T A COMPETITION, OR SERIOUS AT ALL. IF SOMEONE IS TAKING THE ACT OF COSPLAYING SERIOUSLY, STAY AWAY FROM THEM, YOU'RE PROBABLY REALLY SHITTY.

CG: YOU CAN TAKE YOUR *COSPLAY* SERIOUSLY, AND TRY TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE, BUT TAKING THE ENTIRE ACT OF DRESSING UP LIKE A CHARACTER SERIOUSLY IS NOT GOOD.

CG: YOU CAN COSPLAY WHOEVER YOU FUCKING WANT, JUST BECAUSE YOU AREN'T SOMEONE'S HEADCANON KARKAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE *NOBODY'S* HEADCANON KARKAT. 

CG: IF HE DECIDES TO HATE YOU OVER A COSTUME, TO HELL WITH THAT ASSBAG. 

CG: YOU CAN DO IT.

(ooc: yooooo Mod Pineapple will ALSO be at anime expo and I will be cosplayin regular karkat there so if you see me make sure to come over and get a hug and some pictures!!)

I've been going out with a girl that I've known for nearly five years now and liked for around two for around four months, and every time I'm with her I want to tell her that I love her except I'm not sure if it's teenage hormones or not and I don't want to freak her out. Any help from Karkat or the Signless would be appreciated.

CG: TELL HER YOU LOVE HER.

CG: FUCKING TELL HER YOU LOVE HER! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S STUPID TEENAGE HORMONES OR WHATEVER YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT. THERE IS *NOTHING* WRONG WITH FEELING LOVE, EXPRESSING IT, AND LOVING IN GENERAL.

CG: NOT WANTING TO FREAK HER OUT IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT YOU'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR *FIVE* FUCKING *YEARS*!

CG: BE CAUTIOUS, BE GENTLE. FUCKING ADORE HER AND TREAT HER AS KINDLY AS YOU CAN.

CG: IF YOU FEEL NERVOUS ABOUT TELLING HER, MAYBE THE TIME ISN'T RIGHT. LOVE SHOULDN'T BE ALL PLANNED OUT, IF THE MOMENT FEELS RIGHT, TELL HER.

CG: LOVING SOMEONE IS *NEVER* SOMETHING TO BE SCARED OR ASHAMED OF.

CG: TELL HER YOU LOVE HER, IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING SO, BECAUSE WAITING TO EXPRESS IT COULD HURT YOU IN THE LONG RUN.

CG: GOOD LUCK.

(Semi-Urgent) Can I have some advice from Karkat please? My mom and dad used to get along great, but recently I've noticed they hang around each other less and have been arguing a lot. whenever when I'm with one parent, they'll complain about the other. Their arguments are getting more heated, and it's been taking its toll on my sleep and grades. I'm worried a divorce may not be far into the future, and I'm scared to death me and my sister will be separated! They were fine before. Help please!

CG: YOU KNOW, I GREW UP WATCHING AND READING LOVE STORIES. THEY ALWAYS HAD HAPPY ENDINGS. THERE WAS ALWAYS A PERFECT KISS, OR A DREAM WEDDING.

CG: A “HAPPILY EVER AFTER.”

CG: BUT I’VE HAD TO COME TO TERMS THAT IT’S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE IN THE REAL WORLD. PEOPLE WILL FALL IN AND OUT OF LOVE. 

CG: NOBODY EVER STAYS STAGNANT. THAT’S NOT HOW WE FUCKING WORK. WE’RE ALWAYS CHANGING.

CG: PEOPLE FUCKING CHANGE, AND THEIR FEELINGS CHANGE. NO MATTER HOW SHITTY IT IS, THAT’S SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE TO REALIZE. 

CG: YOU AND YOUR SISTER WILL PROBABLY NOT BE SEPARATED IF YOUR PARENTS *DO* END UP SPLITTING, SO THERE’S NOT MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT THERE. HUMAN JUDGES LIKE TO KEEP SIBLINGS TOGETHER FROM WHAT I KNOW. 

CG: OBVIOUSLY YOUR SLEEP AND GRADES DO MATTER. THEY’RE REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT, ACTUALLY. I’D TALK TO BOTH YOUR PARENTS ABOUT IT. YOU NEED YOUR REST, AND YOUR TIME TO DO SCHOOL WORK.

CG: AS FOR THE COMPLAINING THING, JUST TRY TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. SAY THAT IT BOTHERS YOU WHEN THEY TALK NEGATIVELY ABOUT THE OTHER ONE. 

CG: WE ALL LIKE TO BELIEVE LOVE HAPPENS LIKE IN WHAT WE SEE IN FILMS OR IN BOOKS. WE ALL WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST PERSON WE FALL IN LOVE WITH WILL FOREVER BE OURS. 

CG: BUT IT USUALLY DOESN’T FUCKING WORK THAT WAY, AS HORRIBLE AS THAT IS. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS CHANGING.

CG: PLEASE STAY STRONG FOR ME. I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH WHATEVER HAPPENS.

"Anonymous said to motivationstuck: since Mod Pineapple is a cosplayer do you think they'd be willing to post some cosplay pictures?"

Uhhh well sure I guess!! I mean these are just a tiny taste of what I cosplay, and these are just HS cosplays, and not even ALL of my HS cosplays. Like I've cosplayed Dangan Ronpa, Animal crossing, and a bunch of other stuff???? 

So have a taste of my fave cosplay pics I've done. My entire cosplay tag is here!!

Hey pineapple, because you are a cosplayer, can you give me some tips? I have a fantroll who wears a teal jacket with a big collar, and I don't know where to get a jacket like that irl. Sorry if this is wasting your time, I think you guys deserve a medal, and five thousand dollars each. :D (Also, I have a picture of my fantroll on deviantart. Search "Dracka Leeorn" to find her. Thanks! :D )

*RUBS HANDS TOGETHER EXCITEDLY* let’s do this shit. 

Okay from the looks of it, your fantroll seems to have a sport-style jacket, like an athletic jacket with a longer collar?? 

You’re probably going to have to make the collar, but the jacket looks easy enough!! 

Go out and try to find a white or teal jacket, if it’s white, you can dye the jacket the proper color!! Then you’ll probably need some stiff, thin wire and matching fabric. Cut out the shape of the collar, and fix the wire inside the panels so it keeps the collar upright, and then sew.

Also, just general advice for cosplayers: Thrift stores.

Goodwill is my life blood when it comes to finding weird and obscure items for my cosplay. Half-off saturdays make it awesome too. 

Obviously I buy/make the majority of my own items for cosplay, but thrift stores and dollar stores are GREAT. Look for sales, go to garage sales since it’s still garage sale season!! 

I’m not to limited on personal funding atm, so I have no problems shelling out big bucks for some parts of my cosplay (my aradia horns cost me $75 and my skirt roughly the same) but keeping things cheap is hella great!!

So try your local sports store or Walmart/target/meijer and try to find stuff!! I’m pretty sure online snooping will get you some good results too!!
