I have 8.4 curve eyes and I'm looking to buy a pair of lenses from a website. The only ones they have available, however, are 8.6 base curves.

I heard its okay to wear them when they're 1/10th either way (8.3 and 8.4) as long as they arent sliding around and hurting your eye, but would 2/10ths be pushing it too much?

I love cosplaying a lot, I've been a cosplayer for a year and a half now and it's the most fun I've ever had.

I just recently got over my irrational fear of the popular show My Little Pony (the fandom scared me half to death and I thought it was ridiculous to love a childrens' show as much as some people did) and I actually watched it and to be honest, I'm quite hooked.

My favorite character is Fluttershy, I relate a lot in personality with her, plus she's a sweetie pie and I have a weak spot when it comes to characters with sweet personalities, I always want to cosplay them.

Here's why I don't do it though:

While I believe everyone has every right to cosplay any character they want, I'm absolutely horrified of doing an MLP cosplay. I don't mean to generalize the fandom or anything, because there are good bronies out there, but really I'm scared to do it because of the massive amounts of creeps that dwell in the fandom.

My friend quit cosplaying Rarity after she discovered a fellow Rarity cosplayer had gotten sexually assaulted at a convention, which is horrible in every sense. Not only that, but a few years back (before she stopped cosplaying Rarity) she went to a convention in her Rarity cosplay, which got a lot of great comments. She also got her picture taken a lot.

She never found those pictures anywhere. Google images, deviantArt, tumblr, etc. She never found them. The utter thought of what some people would be doing with those photographs is... Horrifying.

Based on the hundreds of horror stories, it makes me too scared to even think of cosplaying Fluttershy. But i want to cosplay the character very badly, it would be so much fun to come up with the concept of the costume design, picking out which wigs to use and what materials to make everything out of since really there isnt much of a boundary when cosplaying a humanized fluttershy (i'd be blocking out everything from Equestria Girls... I didnt care for that concept T:)

I'm torn between my favorite hobby and the creepy people in the fandom.

What do you think, is my fear irrational? should I do it anyway despite the few creepy people? Should I get some guts and go out and do it despite the fact I might get some unwanted attention? Or should I play it safe and try to drop the idea and move on to something else?

Thank you c:

I feel extremely platonic towards someone. In case you don't know what that is, it's like i love them but not love love more like siblingly love i guess

I really really care for them, is the point.

The problem is though is that she just told me about how she feels (again platonically) towards her other friend

and i feel really depressed now about it

I feel like she'll always like her other friend better or that that spot will always be filled by that one friend....

she's literally one of my best friends and i seriously cry when she's upset and I'm happy when she's happy and i care about her so much it's ridiculous

but not to romantic extremes because I'm not romantically attracted to my gender...

What I'm asking here is is because she feels that way about her other friend, would it be impossible for her to feel the same way towards others like in a non-platonic relationship?
