My cousins let me go through their doll clothes and I found a Marie Grace!!! They didn't have any other AG clothes but I still found some cute things for my modern girls. I'm so excited to clean her up!!
Thank you to u/dapper_pom for pointing me to the UMG Nordics site! It was a little pricey, but I'm very happy to have the last records I wanted for this era (so far). My Olivia collection is complete!
I drew these two OCs three years ago and I was thinking about them today and wondering if I wanted to make dolls for them. I'd prefer TMs because I don't like renaming characters!
When it dropped, I figured I would wait and pick it up from an indie store without shipping at some point just like I did for drop dead. I don't remember it being advertised as limited or webstore exclusive. I'm very disappointed that I ended up missing it completely because it's not widely available. I don't understand why drop dead is but the cure isn't, because the only difference really is the cure has a demo on the b side while drop dead has an instrumental.
Not to mention I stupidly missed the lenticular vinyl too because I didn't want to cough up $50 and now I've lost my chance. I really hope they restock.
My (19f) mom (49f) has had kidney disease my whole life. It's never really been an issue or something I think about. But she was sick this week and went to the doctor and today in the grocery store she told me she now has stage four kidney disease.
​
Nobody has told me what is happening next besides her diet needing to change and she's waiting on a referral to see a nephrologist. I'm way too scared to ask what the prognosis is. I have a really complicated relationship with my mom but I don't want her to die. I don't know how to feel but I do feel scared on some left. Reassurance and advice appreciated.
I ordered a couple records from the pride collection, and one regular UO exclusive. I was really worried when they didn't ship but other peoples were already on their way. I contacted support today and they said the package would ship in 24-48 hours. Then it "shipped" and I received tracking, but it's shipping through Amazon for some reason and it's stuck on "label created".
​
This has happened to me before where my package was stuck on label created for weeks and then had to be cancelled after I hounded support and they couldn't replace the item (another very rare, sold out vinyl). I was so upset then and if I don't get these I don't know what I will do. Does anyone have any reassurance or advice?
Edit: a customer service representative just told me that the package has "shipped from their warehouse" so now I'm extra worried BECAUSE THE CARRIER DOES NOT HAVE IT
I will (probably) be taking her with me to my local record store listening party on Thursday night so I got her changed for the occasion. She's wearing her own beret, an Our Generation blouse, Samantha's play pinafore, and offbrand shoes from Amazon.
Seriously, why do so many of their dolls have absolutely absurd side parts. Nobody wears their hair like that and it makes it so much harder to style.
After seeing everyone on this sub I think mine came out pretty good, even if my Moonflower came unsigned 💀
I spent all day restoring this #49, a doll I was super super excited about, and I'm just not happy with how she came out. Maybe it's bc I still don't have the clothes I want for her, but she's just not clicking for me. Something about her face feels... off? She's covered in little blemishes I couldn't fix and her hair didn't come out anything like how I wanted. She lost a lot of hair while I was brushing and I even found spots that had been cut that were not shown in the listing. I wish I had spent a little bit more for a better condition one, almost. Maybe I need to do some sort of makeup on her??
I named her Juniper.
For reference I paid $56 for her.
Hi!! New to this sub! I wanted to share something I wrote this week that I'm really proud of, and I figured any opportunity to get eyes on it would be good since this fandom has died so much.
It's a canon divergent au after Hollow Mind, Viney centric with a focus on chronic illness, her friendship with Hunter, and vaguely learning to let herself be taken care of all from the perspective of one Owl Mom.
To summarize more officially:
"Eda knew she had too many damn kids in her house.
Not because they were loud, although they were. Not because they ate her whole pantry, but King alone could demolish an entire week’s worth of groceries in a night if left unsupervised, so what really was the difference? Not even because every flat surface in the Owl House was now covered in somebody else’s junk: Amity’s books, Luz’s journals, Hunter’s abandoned sewing projects, Willow’s plants creeping where plants absolutely should not creep.
No, she knew it because the house sounded different at night now, and she couldn’t get any uninterrupted sleep."
If this does well, I'd love to make a series of more fics in this universe about different characters interacting at the "Owl Hotel"
I've been thinking about this a lot. I want:
- medium skin tone
- Joss mold
- middle part, medium-long length, wavy
- #117 or #118's wig
- hazel eyes that lean more green
Her name would be Fearne. I'm torn between getting #117 and doing an eye swap or getting a Leak Clark to be her instead.
Both a little update to my last post and a bullshit interaction. The short of it is: I ordered an American Girl doll on Mercari (a very specific, rarer doll that I had plans for) and received a completely different one. I ended up contacting Mercari and was able to get a partial refund and was allowed to keep it (I got attached to her quickly, okay??). So a happy ending I suppose, but then I looked and saw that this guy relisted the original doll I bought on eBay (exact same photos, he confirmed in an earlier chat that it was cross posted).
So I messaged to ask what happened to her and got this bullshit answer. I don't know if he was trying to scam me, or if it was a genuine mixup, but he doesn't seem to be a very good guy. To me his message implies that he knew he sent the wrong doll the whole time. I like my new doll, but I'm very sad I didn't get the one I wanted. Ugh, maybe someday.
(Also he has a "fast responder" badge and yet it's hell to get a response out of him)
I mean, come on. This dress is not worth that either.
I accidentally ended up with a Beforever Rebecca, and after communication with the seller I'm being given a partial refund and being allowed to keep her! I'm very pleased to add her to my collection. I'll be ordering her Hannukah dress asap and fixing her up.
I submitted an offer on this girl on Mercari and it was accepted by the seller. She arrived today, and what arrived was a different doll that they didn't even have for sale. I messaged the seller but I don't know how Mercari really works with this stuff or what to do. I paid too much to not get the doll I wanted.
I rearranged my room today and found a new spot to display Grace. I'm excited to fill this chair with more modern girlies! This summer my goal is to get a TLC Lea Clark and fix her up (if anyone knows of a good deal, please send it my way! Looking to be under $40 total for her which I know is a tall order). My #49 is coming on Tuesday!!
I'm highkey upset. Just finished my freshman year. My (former ig) roommate unfollowed me on IG after we moved out today. A week and a half ago she packed up her duffle bag and disappeared and I literally didn't see her again. I texted her a few times, she didn't seem mad at me. But I asked if she was coming back for the last night and she said "I don't plan to!". I don't know what I did to her. I thought we were on decent terms. We weren't super close but we were civil. Now I'm home and she's unfollowed me, probably blocked my number. I don't know why she never seemed to really like me.
She was the one who reached out to me first in the roommate selection process. I tried to be a good roommate. I'm clean and quiet. Sure, I spend most of my free time in the room, but she always seemed to prefer to be out anyway. She has a lot more friends than me. Anytime I would go out, I would always get home before her. But every time I talked to her she seemed annoyed. She never made effort to start or continue conversation. There was a period we went four months without speaking. But we got back on decent terms in March, so I don't know what happened for her to suddenly turn around and want nothing to do with me.
They said college would be better than high school and it was only more lonely. I hate that I was ever excited to go.

I've decided that my summer project is to learn how to make my own doll clothes. I've never sewed before beyond patching some holes. Does anyone have any resources that are designed for beginning in reference to doll clothes?
I have a sewing machine but it rarely works, I'd like to get it fixed. I'm also curious where people think the best place to get fabric is now that Joann's is dead. Thanks!
