got inspired by the doll artists who make mini-me's and made one of my own ✌🏻 i used a boxy girls body and a shrunken ever after high head!

#i used the fabric from an old hoodie to make the mini one and it was my first time making a clothing pattern like that from scratch! #i think i did a decent job and it was fun creating all the little details for the doll #custom doll #doll repaint #ooak #mini me #ever after high #boxy girls #it me #my face #dolls #my art

Obito's Body

When your childhood friend dies and comes back wrong, so you gotta stab them in the tit heart to lift The Curse (and maybe make out with them a lil bit).

#Toxic yuri time <3 #obkk #kakaobi #let the girls kiss and kill each other! #classic trope is surprisingly adaptable #uchiha obito #hatake kakashi #although at this point they're basically my OCs #I'm having so much fun playing with the dolls and putting them in All of the AUs #malifique art

i'm reading crescent city girls: the lives of young black women in segregated new orleans by lakisha michelle simmons and one detail in it is about how although the french quarter during the first half of the twentieth century was overwhelmingly white, a black order of nuns owned a building there, at what's currently the site of the bourbon orleans hotel, from 1881 to 1965. they lived there and ran an orphanage and a school for girls (the order and the school still exist, just in a different neighborhood). i think it's an affecting image that 1132 royale street was so close (a 7-minute walk, just down the street and around the corner) to a high school claudia was pointedly not attending. she probably walked by the building hundreds of times, at night when it was shuttered and quiet. she walked by it when she was 14, 15, 16, 17, just like the girls who studied there, but she was fundamentally separated from them forever. she could go there, even slip into the classrooms or the dormitory where the nuns slept, but she could never get there, across the veil to the place it was during the day. and at first she didn't really grasp what any of this meant because it was novel, even a little exciting, it made her feel special – "i've gotta go to bed when the rest of the world wakes up, so there's less kids to play with..." – but you know it sank in eventually. as the students moved from grade to grade, graduated, grew up, and were replaced by new girls, claudia stayed the same. her and the building, its balconies, its arched windows, the cross against the night sky, unchanging. singular. forever. fuck!!!!!!!!

#vampire posting #and like she was dealing with all the same things these other girls were dealing with like being insulted on the street and #not being allowed to try on clothes in stores but she's just by herself #like louis is there but she's having an experience at the intersection of blackness and womanhood in public that is specific and meanwhile #she hasn't had a meaningful conversation with a human woman or girl since she was 14. no peers no friends #she might as well be the only real girl on earth everyone else is a paper doll. a character in a book. they have to be or you'd #develop a conscience and break #anyway is claudia iwtv the character of all time? more at 11

Harry Kim saying Naomi is lucky to be born on Voyager and that he would have given "anything" to have her life when he was a kid...

#He sees NO downsides???? #Also I love how Neelix was yelling and panicked and Harry was like 'haha ok buddy. Hey this little guy is ugly huh~? See ya later!' #absolutely unbothered and not the least bit curious - love him <3 #saw someone post about how they don't like 'once upon a time' bc Neelix doesn't tell Naomi right away about her mother .... bro. #c'mon. Anyway I love Neelix and him trying so hard to shield Naomi from bad things / upset bc he KNOWS how fucking painful #it is to lose a family DID make me tear up. #Also Naomi in that burned-down forest (symbolic of innocence?) was a kickass visual. Neelix telling her about his family and Naomi trying #to comfort HIM??? SHE'S SUCH A GOOD KID MAN....Neelix making her a flotter doll was also v cute #OH AND Naomi going 'I Am Borg...' and Neelix going '~??? No you're not~!!!' and Naomi giggling...added NOTHING to the #episode - as it should be!! Sometimes you've just gotta have a really cute silly moment <3 #Tuvok: [says something] / Tom: Nice bedside manner Tuvok =_= #Tuvok: [about to say the most beautiful comforting words you've ever heard one parent say to another] And I took that personally. #Love how Naomi is scared of Seven at first...girl that's your roommate. #HEHEH she starts off the series scared of her but by the end she's her little buddy and also her intern #but yeah never forget that Harry Kim can and will say the most unhinged things but so casually that no one will really clock it #NEVER forget that he says he remembers.....either being an infant or his own birth - both WILD to me #Harry Kim lowkey loves destiny and being special and the idea of 'chosen ones' and the narrative even though he will fight it all if it #harms the ones he loves #Harry: (guy from an alternate timeline who replaced the dead Naomi with the alive one from his own) That kid's living the dream <3

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

Mutuals!!! Beasties!!!

We went to an antique mall today for my birthday and look at what I found!!

The whole top floor was full of vintage toys and dolls/Barbie’s, I wanted to buy everything 😭

#monster high #the tall ghoul on the counter wasn’t for sale I wanted her so bad 😭 #the one in box on the shelf was for sale but she was 250 bucks #I’m definitely going back there when I get paid they can take all my money #they also had an oddity room where I also wanted to buy everything 😭 #10/10 today was a good day #the lady who worked this part of the store is also autistic/has adhd #and she said one of her hyperfixations is Barbie and dolls #I swear this woman info dumped about dolls to this girl who was looking for 80s Barbie’s #for a good 30 minutes #I wanted to talk with her so bad I’ve never seen someone else info dump about dolls before I want to be her best friend 😭 #we’re going back there some time this week so maybe I’ll get to talk to her next time we go #if you live in Virginia this place is in VA beach!

Helena, on her way to find new signs of spring, stops by Whinnyfred's pasture and shares an apple with her horse friend. She's warmly dressed for a walk outside.

Helena Marchmont is my A Girl for All Time doll from the Regency period in Great Britain. She doesn't have a book, and so I know very little about her. That, of course, means I get to create her story myself! My Helena lives in England in 1816, during the Year Without a Summer. This was a real event caused by the eruption of a volcano in Indonesia in 1815, which put so much dust and ash into the atmosphere that it blocked sunlight. This caused extreme cold temperatures through spring and summer in the northern hemisphere. Crops were killed by frost or never grew at all. Famine was widespread as food prices spiked.

Despite all the trouble in the world, Helena cheerfully continues to look for reasons to be hopeful. She is warmly dressed in the long-sleeved gown I made for her. Looking at the pictures now, I think I should shorten the skirt--Helena is a lively 12 year old girl and deserves to be able to run and climb more freely! I also made her cameo necklace, but I think from now on she'll save that for fancy occasions.

im currently in the process of upgrading my dollhouse lighting, so the current atmosphere of the dollhouse isn’t inspiring me to take pics. however, all the lovely photos of everyone’s dolls in their costumes inspired me to take a few quick photos before I started changing all the outfits for winter gear.

i haven’t really been posting anything lately, but I’ve still been living my best doll life. I had a ton of fun figuring out costumes for (mostly) everyone. I even did a bit of sewing! I altered quite a few princess dresses and even sewed a batgirl cape for ivy!!

#agblr #american girl #american girl dolls #dollblr #my posts #my dolls #I was gonna do a whole big photoshoot but on the day of I didn’t even have the energy to get any of the rest of the girls dressed up lol. #so instead I’m just gonna call it done. #plus that way I get to get them all in their cozy winter outfits!! #next year I plan to replace some of the less nice princess costumes (perhaps sew my own) #buy or make a movie Glinda costume for Nanea (so I can have the 40s girls plus kavi as one group) #find a way to make or get a ghost costume for kit (I tried to make one for her this year but well. to be frank she looked less like a ghost #and more like a member of a hate group so I scrapped my attempt) #I also want a proper red baseball cap for the Rockford peach costume #and I gotta figure something out for marie grace #also I have a plan to dress up the girls I didn’t include this time in ‘decades’ costumes #also unrelated to my to do list. but I still think dressing Emily (aka brave Emily) as the cowardly lion is really funny lmao

[bitchdafuqyousay]

[pixiestein]

the main difference btwn g1 & g3 draculaura is that g3 drac would watch barbie & oppenheimer and be a lil on the fence abt which to see first. while g1 drac would buy herself & all the ghouls brand new pink outfits despite her entire closet already being pink, count down every day until release out loud to the point it annoys all her classmates. and she would NOT know who oppenheimer is

#she was alive at the time & still does not know wtf the movie is about #her friends are all baffled #idk i like g3 but why can’t my girl be ditzy 😔 #whyd they have to make her academically smart she does not know anything & i lov her for it #monster high #mh #monster high dolls #monster high gen 1 #mh g1 #monster high gen 3 #mh g3 #draculaura #mh draculaura #barbie #barbie movie #oppenheimer #barbenheimer

It’s fall, y’all!

Since the last change of seasons I have purchased many new outfits and as you may notice, three new 18” dolls. I’ve had Addy and Julie for a couple months now and Lindsey arrived today.

What’s new since last fall: Kirsten’s dirndl, Addy doll and school outfit, Samantha’s meet accessories, Kit’s meet accessories, Julie doll, cap & scarf and casual outfit, Lindsey doll.

I had to purchase Lindsey’s barrette separately, so when that arrives I will do an intro post for her with some extra goodies.

The smaller dolls got moved to the top shelf on my desk.

hiii!!!!! for the hc ask game: 🧸 A headcanon about their childhood for muu, and maybe 💔 An angsty headcanon for any prisoner (or prisoners) of your choice? your writing is AMAZING btw, i really adore it

AH thank you so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying :D These were interesting ones to think about, ty! The ideas themselves are simple, I'm just long-winded, sorry 😭

🧸I like to think that Muu was just as shy/unwilling to leave her comfort zone as a kid, despite doing a lot of activities with her parents. This, combined with her parents giving her whatever dolls she asked for, results in her clinging to those for support. She has names and personalities for dozens of dolls, and talks to them all the time. She has one in particular she carries around everywhere she goes when she gets scared. The habit lasts a bit into her older years, but she's so downright cute that it only ever earns her doting instead of scolding.

💔 Immediately following the T2 attacks, I feel like Mahiru’s condition is bad enough that Shidou warna everyone there's a high chance she won't make it through the night. There's a solemn, grieving silence as everyone prepares themselves for another death. Shidou is wracked with guilt because he doesn't know if he can save her. Fuuta is dealing with his own injuries, but he and Amane get a kind of survivor's guilt that it could have easily been them on their deathbed. (And now with canon support) Kotoko didn't mean to kill anyone, just rough them up, so she's haunted by guilt/panic that she tries to cover up with a brave face. Kazui takes it the hardest, nearly breaking down in his cell because he blames himself for not getting to her in time.

#milgram #muu kusunoki #mahiru shiina #shidou kirisaki #kazui mukuhara #kotoko yuzuhira #fuuta kajiyama #amane momose #i know muu mentions having a lot of friends in her interrogation questions but this still stands to me #she would still need to face a lot on her own (surrounded by only adults) #so she could still get very attached to her dolls #i cant decide of shes a stuffed animal girl #or the type to have a little girl doll who she does her hair and gets matching outfits and all that #you all decide and tell me what you think 🤔 #and yeah i think especially if kazui was a cop hed take it really hard that he didn't protect mahiru #im pretty sure kotoko has specifically said she has the intent to kill 🙃 but for now i like to think she wasnt going for all that #i need deep cover to come out so i can finally get into her head for t2... #gonna be traveling/visiting family tomorrow into next week :] #i hope it means more writing time but who knows with my family adfgvhh #im almost done with my next request (amane my beloved :')) #and then i want to do the purge march section for 'lights camera sing your sins' hehe #thats enough rambling rip -- goodnight 🌙👍 #but thank you sm for the request!! it was so fun to think about >:3 #headcanon time milgram
