#I think they’re cute dolls ^-^

[ortensiawhiskers]

I want to be a bigger fan of ever after high but also like there r so little characters of color there…..idk I can’t get invested as I want to be

#txt #me desperately clinging onto the slightly tan characters like ohhhh she’s soooo me #I just don’t think I can bring myself to rlly care abt the dolls bc of this too #majority of the dolls I have are like…. dolls of color bc I’m like gosh they’re so pretty I wish we had more of fun doll like this #not that rainbow high or lol dolls couldn’t do better #bc like I would like rainbow high dolls to have more dolls with like. curly hair not just wavy #& then like lol dolls face molds are probably always the downside for me #I love it when dolls have more distinct facial features #my Isabela & mirabel dolls I love the noses on those dolls so much 😭😭😭 #the only ever after high dolls I would want would be hmmm #briar beauty & cedar wood #I think they’re cute dolls ^-^

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

#anti intellectualism #media #movies #books #music #critical thinking #my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious #which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can #make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media #this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is #for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper #message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive. #though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is #tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls #are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women #you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all #hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before #sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong #that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were #looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is #trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling #them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks #barbie #nimona

Dawn has untapped magical girl potential the pkmn company should release a bunch of shorts where random protags are put into theoretical magical girl situations

#captain speaking #I think it’s because she’s pink and her bright white scarf could easily be a bow #in this essay I will (<- has never seen a magical girl anime before) #I mean I GUESS I’m trying to watch Cardcaptor Sakura but it’s sorta hard for me to get into #anyway #the entire show would be obviously and entirely set within the protag’s imagination #it could be super cute #they’re all playing dolls together too maybe

[stellarbunni]

what if i shipped ssbu zelink? who will join me

There always seems to be one kid who just screams like a tornado siren, all day long, at any given opportunity. Like, kid, I love you, you are precious and deserve all the happiness in the world; but please for the love of god shut up. There are people trying to learn here and you’re not helping them or yourself.

#I don’t like being harsh with people in general but if one child is raising the tension in the room to a fever pitch every single day #making it incredibly hard for the kids who are trying really really hard to focus when they already have focus issues #and because I know this specific kid gets absolutely spoiled rotten at home and is allowed to do whatever they want #you know… sometimes it helps to show the kid how they sound to others by demonstrating the obnoxious nature of The Scream #because when the parents do Jack Shit about teaching their kid discipline and courtesy; you have to be a parent in their stead #But do NOT continue to scream. You are an adult with adequate emotional control. Screaming should be be done EXTREMELY sparingly #and only utilized for demonstration purposes or to stop a brawl; not for bullying or intimidation #Don’t do a JoJo Siwa and TRY to make kids cry even though you may get stressed enough that you want to escalate on purpose #Again: you are an adult with adequate emotional control; don’t escalate unless the overreaching plan is to deescalate #if eliciting a startle response will stop harmful behavior and “snap them out of it” for long enough for you to get through #or if they just need to let all their emotions out at once so they can lose enough of that high energy to think critically #then sure #but you have to guide them back down very carefully and calmly; it’s a precise science #Don’t be mean about it; be genuine in your feelings and don’t go overboard. Genuine ≠ mean unless you’re evil #Or if you don’t feel emotions very strongly (like I do) then react like a “normal” person. Lie about being angry or sad if it is appropriat #Again: Your goal should not be to get the kid to do what you want; the goal should be to get them to feel good enough #so they are ABLE to do it in the first place #And the goal should also be to show them how their actions affect others if they are not aware of it #“Teach a man to fish” and all that. Don’t always check them; get them to check themselves #If a kid hits another kid when they’re angry at something completely unrelated; then 1.) redirect destructive behavior #and 2.) walk them back over to the kid they hurt and say: #“Look at [name]; look how sad you made them. [name] didn’t do anything to you #It’s okay to be angry but we CANNOT hit people when we are angry because it hurts and makes them cry.” Works great #Always remember there is a power imbalance inherent in EVERY child-adult relationship and NEVER abuse it #And if you’re not patient or emotionally stable enough to work with or have children; then don’t. Please don’t. #Children are not cute little dolls to play dress-up with; nor are they perfect angels; nor are they your personal stress ball #Having children is NOT A GAME. They are PEOPLE who will grow to be your age one day and everything you do affects them #Sorry I’m just tired of all these parents who shove iPads in their kids faces so they don’t bother them. You’re giving them an addiction

Lace: Your favorite things to wear?

(Also it's nice to see you on my dash again, I've missed you! 😊)

lol that’s a complicated question tbh 😂😂

#first of all hi thank you lovely! I’ve missed you too 🫶🥰 #as for my favorite thing to wear? #probably just these comfy purple sweatpants #but that’s just cause I don’t get dressed up #…. ever #sometimes for holidays #but at work I wear a tshirt that I got from my job and some whatever pants cause they get hair all over them and just get gross #don’t remember the last time I actually went out #l o l when I was like 20? #I’ve been trying to go through my clothes cause I have a TINY closet and I hoard clothes cause I think maybe one day I’ll wear it #I mean they’re cute clothes #I just don’t go out anymore so now they’re just in bins and taking up space #but man I miss dressing up #getting all dolled up #and feeling pretty #ahh good times lol #thanks for the question 🫶 #ask #lovely mutuals 💕

[cr0wc0rpse]

I should be given a monthly allowance so I can buy dolls

#there’s a lot of specific dolls I want but there’s also just general/brands I want #like I mainly want specific monster high dolls and some specific collectors barbies #but I would also love to have a novi stars doll or a licca chan doll #and I saw some pics of lalaloopsie dolls and I remembered how cute I think they are #they’d be kind of silly to collect but they’re so so cute #and it’s already kind of silly that I collect dolls in general so why not #and then of course there’s anime/manga figured I’d like to have too #I just love collecting fun little things #unfortunately I have no money and also things are hard to find or access or are expensive #so sad and fucked up #dead text

[kaleigh-color]

I think we need more spicy kaleigh

I’m with my family so these might just be mild

They’re also from pre moving when I got a handmade sweater and thought I looked cute. I then wore the sweater to my best friends Christmas party so I have those photos as well if anyone wants those

#asked #ask #answered #me #my face #asks #anon #selfie #these are for sure more mild but I can’t really take more spicy photos my dad is here #and 90% of my clothes are packed till I move in after the holidays #also my sweater is hand made by an artist #i love her work and want more but they’re a little expensive #well worth it because hand made but I’m not made of money #sorry mutuals for more selfies #i think i got to this ask on the same day so I’m really happy with myself #the Christmas party ones is actually super cute because my friend wanted to pretend to be dating to prank her coworkers #so I got all dolled up for her #hot even #hot #cute #her coworkers still ask about me #so I think I did my job

[ca-cupid]

[ID: two pictures of an Avery styles doll, she is wearing toralei’s original black leather jacket and deuce’s original white belt. /end ID]

#also the sunglasses are a filter I found on Instagram #but they’re so cute!! #rainbow high #monster high #dolls #doll collector #doll fashion #doll photography #avery styles #dollblr #also also the dress is just a random dress I found I think it’s Barbie but I don’t actually know for sure

[smile-files]

bearer of the curse (too many good ideas)

#melonposting #augh it’s so annoying!!! like i can’t do everything i think of #grt3d is reassuring in that now i know it’s possible for me to fully execute a story #but that still doesn’t help the fact that there are so many to execute :’D #like there’s the mothmen obviously. that one’s been simmering for a while #then there’s goody gardens if i ever decide to really ‘make’ anything with it (as it is it’s just a cast of characters to think about) #there’s the botanica story too (which still needs an official name) #and there’s my ii3 rewrite/au #oh not to mention whatever pokemon x&y rewrite i was planning way back when. don’t know if i really care about that now #i haven’t done much with arthropocalypse (i don’t even think i’ve posted about it here at all) but that has potential #and of course there are the middle school era stories like camp mercury and dark divinity which i don’t think i care to do anything with #(they’re just funny to look back at) #there’s my pokemon-inspired story/game/something revolving entirely around species of butterflies and moths #and there’s the very recent idea of a mascot horror type thing involving a museum and the exhibits coming alive and trying to kill you #(like night in the museum crossed with fnaf or something) #and a sitcom-type thing involving the dolls belonging to the children in a large family and the drama they get into #oh and wasn’t there some story i had about a rich guy living in a haunted mansion and supernatural creatures working there? #like he has a vampire butler and mothman gardener or something like that? #oh and my weird story with holmes-and-watson-inspired mad scientist supervillains #and what’s basically a high school au of sherlock holmes which was cute #hm there’s my dandelion-themed children’s book #and probably a handful of object show ideas as well #goodness gracious i am insane

[skeletallii]

love enjoying media i normally Would dislike. like.

ew puppets (dolls, dummies, etc.)

but also

Oh!! Puppets!!

#my issue with Puppets and dolls and things like that specifically #is that it feels like they were Meant to look freaky. almost every time. #Muppet and muppet like puppets/dolls are the One exception to that though #i think that’s one of the reasons i like Welcome Home so much so far #it really encapsulates that old school sesame street book style and i Adore it #they’re cute and i love their eyes especially and mr eye man himself (wally) has hooded eyes. #i also!! have hooded eyes so it’s really cute to see. especially because his eyes don’t necessarily unnerve me immediately.

AG is really out here failing to pull off Cher from clueless now huh

#the eyelashes are doing NO favors to that doll #who’s gonna bite the bullet and see what she looks like without the eyelashes #this doll is gonna do wonders on insta with the modders #ag really looked at the customs people were making and tiktok tends and went. don’t worry. we got you #I think the outfits are cute #and illustrations are cute but uh. damn #they look they’re in high school. not 10

[treecakes]

dolls are just so cool and a great means of expression. i obviously have a fondness for american girl and götz dolls, i think they have really sweet faces, but porcelain dolls are beautiful and i’m usually very impressed by them!! that post i just reblogged made me very happy!! she was gorgeous and i’d LOVE a doll like that

#when i was little i had a love for bratz dolls. my mother hated them but my father would let me get them when we were out shopping #i still think they’re fun!! but not my interest anymore #OH and i had these two dolls i cannot remember for the life of me what they were called but i only had two #and they were cloth body dolls one was like. 8 inches tall? and the other was like. 3. but that was a toddler #and they had soft bodys with semi posable limbs. the faces were plastic but they had glass/bead eyes #and i LOVED them i forget what i named them. omg. i still have them somewhere maybe when i’m back home i’ll find them and take a picture #anyways i wouldn’t buy them now but i still think they’re cute :) #anyways x2 i ended up selling my bratz dolls but i have fond memories of them
