i feel like stella’s missing her iconic bangs that’s what’s so off
Totally. I also don't like that her hair is styled in two loose wavy pigtails. It's just not her vibe at all as far as her everyday looks are concerned.
Last May, I had done some research as I was starting to dip my toe into doll collecting and knew that Rainbow High was one of the most popular current brands. I didn’t really like their style at first, I couldn’t get over what I felt were their ‘bug eyes’, (I still really dislike the classic face sculpt) but I went on the MGA website and scrolled through the listings to see more of them, just to see if I liked any of them. I did think some of them were okay, but not enough to go out and put myself through the anxiety of buying them.
And that’s when I saw her.
I wouldn’t be collecting dolls if I didn’t see Glitch and fall in love with her. Monster High didn’t have enough of a grip to really pull me in to the hobby on its own, and I wasn’t clicking with other RH dolls through photos.
But Glitch had something. Some combination of hair and dress and style that added up to a vibe which floored me in her stock photos. I didn’t know dolls could look like her, feel like her.
Soooo I went to target. Rehearsed my speech that I was looking for a gift for my non-existent niece if anyone confronted me for being in the toy section (took me months to get over that anxiety).
And I came home with three of them.
I was so thrilled and relieved to find Glitch in person, so I stayed long enough to look around at the others. I just couldn’t stop looking at Harley, and when I spotted Michelle on the top shelf I immediately thought “oh my god, that color is so striking”, and couldn’t stop thinking it. So I walked out with all three. 😅
I love looking at their crunchy box hair in this photo. I wouldn’t wash doll hair for the first time until August. August! I was too afraid I would ruin them somehow. Plus I didn’t and hadn’t owned any comb or hairbrush or even conditioner since I started shaving my head like four years ago, so I had to buy those things just for my dolls.
Maybe I would’ve found something else, some other doll line or brand that spoke to me, and I would’ve ended up collecting either way. But that moment I spotted Glitch feels so pivotal in hindsight. And even with a lot of my dolls packed up since I have so little display space, all three of these girls are out and beautiful! I just love lookin at ‘em. Which I guess is the whole point.
honestly cecil palmer is one of THE archetypical tumblr sexymen. he was SO big on 2013 tumblr, and he's just a voice but for some reason everyone imagined him as a skinny white blond-haired twink with glasses who dresses in dapper waistcoats. what is that if not a sexyman.
bigb twirling his hair like a schoolgirl after he makes an agreement to cheat on his husband
your local bigren enthusiast is becoming a bigrian enthusiast real fast actually
Also BigB is giving "convincing himself his husband wants to leave him bc BigB himself is doing a secret soulmate thing and feels guilty about it" or something vibes but maybe that's just me
Ren "I just have a feeling in my heart you're gonna leave me." & BigB "I wouldn't dare!" "This is why I need you." I'm gonna scream.
"Is there trouble in paradise?" GRIAN ........ YOUUUUU MF

SCROLLING A KILLSTAR SALE??? DURING THE SET?? Phone screen bright as fuck white glowing website scrolling fast as hell and like sure the band can't see how rude and disrespectful you're being from that distance but I'm getting super distracted and flashbanged by your screen while trying to see a band? I was so shocked I've never seen anything like it, it was almost like a pathological need to scroll phone while the set was going on
