#Me when I get new dolls

[beyondborderlands]

Cyber

sooo I saw Impulse's newest Hermitcraft 10 thumbnail and I SPED to draw his new skin! Credits to @maxx-doodles for the super fun cyberpunk design :) I like to think he's surveying the landscape and coming up with his next build idea.

#hermitcraft smp #hermitcraft #hermitcraft fanart #hermitcraft s10 #impulsesv #impulsesv fanart #something about the way Impulse's hair has been essentially “close shave + extra swoop” for the past two seasons is very fun to me #I love it when I have a design for a character and they get a new skin and I can just. Equip that new outfit like a paper doll

Well, that is only if Fitzgerald has an endless stockpile of Q-specific dolls

#Look‚ Q's ability doesn't make ANY sense. Why would Dazai's ability work on the doll? It's an object. #The object supposedly can't be a vassal of the ability itself‚ only a person can. #Logically speaking Dazai's ability should only work directly on people. #But let's say the doll can be a vehicle for their person. Even then‚ how would that work? #Because the doll specifically gets torn every time Q's ability is used. #And you can't make a new one just like that‚ like‚ it needs to be /Q's doll/‚ the one that specifically uses as a vassal for their ability #Where are they taking all those dolls from? Or do they just sew the same one again? #(The last one sounds more unlikely‚ since then Dazai supposedly would have just took care of destroying it?) #(Unless there would be other consequences to it like perhaps hurting Q???) #Idk. I KNOW I'M A TERRIBLE WATCHER and this is all. Suspention of disbelief and I shouldn't be thinking about the logics too deeply #(because when you do. There's just no logic to it) #But this IS something that's bothered me since the first time I watched the anime #q #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd s2 #bsdrewatch2023

It will never not piss me off that 80s She-Ra toys were action figures but when they went to make toys for 2018 She-Ra, they would only give us fashion dolls.

How did they learn nothing from the popularity of their own toyline?

Literally, three decades passed and somehow sexism in toys got WORSE.

#spop #shera #she ra #I want my SPOP action figures damn it #they could be completely lazy and just make the same toys again but make them look like the new show and I would take it #scratch action Catra but OUR Catra? #give it to me #i will even take bubble power she-ra idgaf #god I wish mattel wanted my money #*resists the urge to rant about the toy industry and all the ways they did this merch line dirty* #I'm not tagging mattel because then I will get the dudebros who think they know more about the toy industry than me when they SUPER don't #beyond the whole Target limited run / DC dolls thing shooting the SPOP toy line in the foot #the spop merch was very clearly made quickly as a reaction to the shows popularity #instead of ready at launch like a show that depends on toy sales #and if you are too clueless to understand the most basic way the industry works #you are not worth fighting with #'no one wanted the toys' ok jan #go on ebay and look at how much the spop toys sell for and try to say that again with a straight face #toylines that are legit bombs don't have a resale value like these do that's toys 101 babies #resale like that means supply issue #i'll stop now #this is my longest tag rant yet sorry everyone #and for that one specific dudebro let me clarify that obviously it would be great if all toys were made for everyone #but this toyline was specifically made and marketed for girls #and it's impossible not to factor marketing and intended demographic in when talking about this #see I said I would stop and it was a lie #now I'll stop for real

So far 2024 has seen me knocked flat by a cold, but hey, enabled my first book of the year to start and finish!

#another ticky in the new year box #gotten nowhere with the exercise part #but also doing cracker on the watching what I eat #thanks cold! #jet wolf sometimes reads too #in case anyone was wondering: #i enjoyed it #REALLY HIT SOME OF MY PERSONAL HORROR BUTTONS LOOKING AT YOU DOLLS #it felt in parts a little like a one or two step up christopher Pike #which I mean complimentary #in that it was very easy to read and I had a good time doing it #it was a little hand-holdy in places which grated on me a little #(yes I get what this is really all about I get it I promise) #and I think suffered in part from me having just come off of The Witch Elm #but it's absolutely competent and held my interest from start to finish #even legit creeped me out in places #and laughing to hacking in others #a good pulpy horror read #and I'll check out the author's other books when that's exactly what I'm in the mood for

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if another Addison somehow went down the spamton route and become a puppet. Like Clicks or something. The pink one witnesses the horrors.

you know i think about that too however i'm cautious about "role swaps" in fandom cuz i'm so used to like the personalities of characters being swapped rather than the roles that were intended

cuz like spamton is the best target for what happened to him. He's beyond desperate, he's the black sheep, he's smaller and isn't successful, whereas the rest of the addisons are the opposite of those things. If the roles were swapped and another addison got picked, I think they wouldn't fall for what they'd think is a "too good to be true" scam, seeing as they're cons themselves. They may doubt it when they see what happened to spamton, but truly they wouldn't be swayed.

OR in the event of one of the addisons ACTUALLY getting to "big shot"dom, top of the mansion, untold riches, etc, they'd fall back when the irons get too hot (like they wouldn't pursue more knowledge, spiraling into religious insanity, but would just focus on sales and their profit/reputation). That, and if their benefactor left, they'd be able to hold their ground (or at least somewhat) while spamton is destined to crash and burn because he just is a really obvious con and his businesses fail regardless.

like, spamton lost the idea of the value of money, instead favoring the things that can make him [[Big]] like the Soul. As soon as he had everything in the world, he wanted more, and I believe this hubris is unique to him because of how much he stands out. He's never satisfied, and will continue to be unsatisfied until everything that was meaningful to him has lost meaning in the pursuit of something grander.

What would be REALLY messed up is that, if that happens and one of the other addisons is chosen, I still believe spamton would end up failing big time, since he was found at the end of his rope presumably (but this time he doesn't have Heaven as a motivator). Thinking of him being the little white addison in the streets nobody associates with, and he's still doing his whole "garbage living" thing except while relatively sane and still his ol addison self. He's bitter and down on his luck, going to shadier means of making a name for himself, and it's not great to see

#ofcourse this is all just my take haha who knows what could happen maybe i'm thinking too much into it #it's a neat au actually #thinking of that and swirling it in my head #it's fun to imagine and i believe each one of the adds are wondering ''shit what if that was me? Would i fall for it?'' #spamton was just so sad and wet and pathetic #he's an abandoned bottom shelf ratted up doll and the guy on the phone is like 'I want THAT one :)' #shaking wet sickly chihuahua yet he's the main pick of the crop #asks #don't get me wrong i love a good role swap but it works best when messing with designs #rather than how a character would react to their new situation

dude nick complaining about his “girl pants” in the most recent premo… lemme at him

#LEMME AT HIM #he’s so pathetic i need him so bad #‘girl pants’ those pants got hot three years ago when your millenial ass was clinging to your black skinnies for dear LIFE #UGH and the new balances and him getting pissed at slime for swag jacking them… baby… CACKLING #i am sorry for my outburst i am just pulling pigtails and i hate trends and the idea of what’s cool and what isn’t #and our favorite little orange county ken doll tries so hard he’s so cute #anyways. would love to grill him about his ‘girl pants’. PUT ME IN COACH #orange county ken doll

It's very interesting trying to find blogs to follow for cherry alive bc like. Things we like: pink, ribbons, flowers, pretty clothes, baked goods, cute things, fairies, feminine stuff, cottagecore aesthetics, etc etc etc

Things we DO NOT like: misogyny, thinspo, 'i'm just a girly girl who needs a boyfriend to take care of me' (and related), traumacore, lana del rey inspired stuff (her music's fine, the way it's been turned into an aesthetic online bothers me), nymphette stuff (Yikes TM), tradwife stuff (extra Yikes TM), etc etc etc

Like a lot of pink themed blogs have content we find viscerally upsetting and completely antithetical to what I'm trying to make this space into. On my former account I saw a lot of posts criticizing the whole "girlblogging girl dinner" thing but I didn't see a lot of the original content they were responding to. Now I've seen it and I do not like it! I like femininity and fairies and flowers and sunshine. One of my deepest desires in a relationship context is actually a dynamic that includes a certain amount of being taken care of. But like. In a chivalrous butch/femme way not a weird 'girls are incompetent' way. I like so many things that are aesthetically adjacent to a lot of stuff I hate, but at the same time completely opposite from it. Because for me it's about healing and embracing joy and whimsy and magic and sunshine and hope and art, and, to a certain extent, how that stuff interacts for me with gender and femininity and finding joy in my femininity again. It's not about this bizarre 'i'm just a weak little girl' and/or 'i'm a violent girl who's cutesy and cruel' or whatever all that nonsense is. It makes me so sad to see honestly. Like. Idk what you're doing, I'm having fun. You should maybe try it too.

#text post #my post #anyway. i don't follow those blogs but i follow some that are close to it #like. i'll follow some coquette blogs if they don't post some of the things i find more objectionable about that whole world #bc i like ruffles and ribbons and vintage pink and white fashion #but like. things just a step to the right of that scare the crap out of me and make me very sad #it's fine though i'm careful to make my dash pretty happy #i just run into it when searching for new blogs to follow #the interesting thing is i get it #i had a pink traumacore dollkin blog once upon a time. and obviously we do still have a thing for dolls/creepy dolls sometimes #but i'm just soooooo glad to be out of that place for the most part and in a much healthier happier world now #in fact. i deleted that blog and used the email i used to use for it to make this account <3

oh I forgot to take unboxing pics but. look at her. my first not-secondhand bjd and i'm afraid i've been spoiled by her because she is just the cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on........!!

#im just sad she came back up for sale too late for me to get her faceup started its much too cold in here but also. #more time for my indecisive ass.............. #bjd #legit bjd #dream valley #dream valley olivia #my only thing is she's just a little bit smaller than I thought she would be but I haven't been collecting for very long #so I wasn't sure what size she would be #I think it doesnt help that peppy is a fuckijg UNIT of a doll #and so is my wife's resinsoul #but it makes her look n feel sooo delicate and dreamy....... I feel like I have a plant doll in my house now. peace n love #then when I get peppy's new head the family will be all here and I will NOT! buy new shit until they are done. #and I mean full faceup wig outfits. the whole nine yards. might even get shoes. #doll -- #doll nudity /- #anyway now I am back to not buying anything j don't need this month to feel better about making such a big purchase. byeeee (fades away)

Silly goofy StanNarrator (Patreon)

#Doodles #The Stanley Parable #TSP #Silly mode leftover doodles from my alt notebook #I wasn't as concerned with making these finished or pretty but they did turn out cute >:3c #Since I've established that Sinister thinks in images the next logical step is imagining the Narrator - and he hates that ✨ #He is not made to be perceived! He is an imageless entity! A total enigma! Lol #If we as an audience can imagine what a Narrator might look like - to the best of our abilities - I don't see why Stanley wouldn't #Even if he's not Exact - personally I don't think it matters lol the Narrator isn't /meant/ to have a fixed form imo - it's still flustering #You give him so much material to work with Narra! To imagine what face you might make or your body language #Or worst yet when he plays with the mental projection like a doll - much like what the Narrator does to Stanley hehehe #How does it feel to be ''made'' to do things that wouldn't reflect you! It's an interesting role reversal that works within their confines #Also makes me wonder how much Narra would play into it haha - if Stanley ''flipped him upside down'' would he get dizzy? Even a little? #To what degree is he real! To what degree is Stanley real if he's not being interacted with!! The themes!!!! <3 #Anyway lol ♪ Silly Stanley noise chart for funsies #There are a lot of sounds humans can make with their mouths even discounting vocal cords - I could definitely see him doing verbal stims #Who me projecting again? Psh no anyway (lol) #And then some kisses! This is my first time drawing my versions kissing!!! Which actually solidified a new headcanon for the Narrator haha #Because he (ostensibly) needs his mouth to narrate he doesn't like kisses on the mouth :) He weak to it! #Doesn't stop Sin from enjoying kissing him lol - it's a good way to shut up him In Case of Power Play #But sometimes♪ he'll try to respect his wishes - not all the time tho haha

one thing i’m really realizing about tv-watching lately is that i’m reaching a point where i can’t hold all these shows in my head. it takes so long to have a new season come out that i’ve forgotten all the details of what happened in the previous season unless it’s a show i’ve watched multiple times, which it’s usually not. then i feel like i’m doing wrong by the show by not rewatching the previous season(s) so i can watch the new one as the creators intended it to be watched, with all the emotional threads from the previous season getting picked up and returned to. like, i want those things to HIT the way they’re intended to, but usually they don’t for me in this tv-watching model because it’s been so long that i don’t remember the details of what’s going on or how i was feeling about everything going on on the show where it last left off. i can’t shake the feeling that i need to rewatch the whole show before the new season so it can register with me correctly ... but there are only so many hours in a day, i can’t do that for every single show i watch that drops a new season every year or every couple of years!

tl;dr this is why i am dreaming of majorly cutting down on the amount of tv i watch. my brain just can’t take it in this current format! there are already so many new seasons of shows i loved that i just haven’t seen for this reason. i find myself actively craving, like, limitations to my viewing so i don’t feel like my brain is going to explode. often i daydream of canceling all my streaming services except pbs passport and getting really into antiques road show and this old house.

#being a tv person in the 2020s babe!!!!!! #like -- i loved the first two seasons of servant SO MUCH #i was crazy about it #but then we tried to pick up s3 and i couldn't remember what had happened before #so everything felt off #(i think i might actually start servant again from the beginning since there will be two new seasons waiting for me at this point) #and i never watched recent seasons of you or the flight attendant or harley quinn or russian doll or so many more i could list #just because ... i can't remember!!!!! #currently having a bit of a tough time with his dark materials s3 for this reason #also rewatching 30 rock has me so aware of how much i miss when a show would be part of most of your year #like -- there's the 3/4 month break over the summer #but for most of your year you're getting new content with those characters #man i miss that! #that was really special and i really feel the loss of it #it was so much easier to follow a series that way #anyway this has been my overwhelmed tv ramble! #goodnight!! #dollsome's deep thoughts

Pain and Suffering

I got cut by foil and my back hurts from not shrimp checking myself like a fool

#sunny screams #sunny’s art #And it’s too green since I ran out of white :[ #Oxy you little shit you better bring me as much serotonin as you do in drawn form when you are a clay doll!!! #Clay #Clay doll #i got wire cutters and benders for this and that means I’m going to make a Ze one too probably #Send help I keep trying new art forms that progressively get more painful for me-

:( once more defeated by pattern drafting and math, my archnemesis

i found a different tutorial to try so i'm going to attempt that one to get the basic pattern and then will alter it for the silhouette i want, assuming it turns out ok. I like lomi playground's videos and tutorials, but the pants drafting one is a little hard to follow, and I definitely did something wrong, but have no idea what. which honestly just sums up me doing any flat pattern drafting ever. Except sleeves. somehow of all things, those are the only things that the flat pattern drafting made sense on in my classes xD Draping is much easier for me, but i can't exactly pin into resin, and since i already did the blushing on dollbei jun and am already having issues with it chipping in places, i don't want to try the tape method (I'm also not sure how to make that work for pants anyway).

#quilleth in real life #quill's bjd adventures #my measurements are more or less the same as what's given on the doll listing #so as far as i can tell i didn't mess up there #lomi has the sid pattern for basic pants on her website but i really ought to work on my drafting more #it's not quite the same size for the 73 loongsoul body but close #so i guess if i can't figure it out with the other tutorial i'll just use it #but that won't help me for dollhua #or for their shirts tbh. i have a pattern book for hanfu for those but they're for human scale #so it's going to be a trial getting those right at all. i was hoping the pants would be easier :/ #doesn't help that my drafting ruler has a chunk out of the centimeter side #i ordered a new one but idk when it will be here #and it was surprisingly hard to find one with centimeters on one side and inches on the other

Voice of guy who doesn’t have shelf space for more dolls right now and in fact has like 5 dolls (in their boxes) that are in the closet because, again, no shelf space to display: hmmm what if I got more dolls….

#and you’ll never guess what I just bought online. you’ll never guess #I have a normal interest in dolls I like them a normal amount and I can be patient when it comes to getting dolls #<- that is a lie. btw. if that wasn’t clear #I need a new and better and bigger shelf. this one is busted anyway #but yaaay stitched in style Frankie Stein will be in my hands soon #I’m being sooooo fucking strong and not going to ebay rn to browse #because I know browsing will have me make a purchase #maybe I should have an allowance for dolls. like . every few months. #dead text

i got my flu shot today

i ate a raisin custard pastry as a reward

my dad sent me a text this morning, call me when you get a moment, this is the text he sends when he needs a ride to the airport, or my mom has baked me a pie, or my grandmother has died.

a certainty grew over me. this letter would be the last

a volunteer for a city council candidate rang my doorbell yesterday. it sounds like the ringtone i have for my mom and most people knock, so i was confused at first. she handed me a flyer without giving me her pitch, but complimented the nazars glued to my door

i looked pale

finn is walking by the river with me on friday

i started rewatching farscape, one episode every night or so, my phone out of reach in another room. i didn't remember how thirsty it is. they talk about mystical alien sex practices in the very first episode. i probably shouldn't have let my kids watch that show as young as they did

i miss everything

#the new math of wrinkling #my neighbor is sitting on her porch #listening to red hot chili peppers #reading an actual paper book #kafka and the doll #raisin custard pastry #the fourth sensation #call me when you get a moment #my heart stops every time #flu shots #i guess i am getting a shingles booster next week #small corn tortillas #mouth wash #muenster #blueberries #farscape
