Hi!
I recently rescued some of my childhood dolls from their prisons (aka my parent’s house) but their hair is in bad bad shape.
I hate to bother you but do you have recommendations for doll wig sources? I have a variety ranging from conventional barbie dolls and American girl dolls to Mystery Dolls that I am guessing my Gran got at a craft store.
I know you deal with higher quality dolls than that so do not feel pressured to respond.
Thank you for letting me bother you!
Poor darlings! They are so lucky to have a rescuer like you. And “quality“ is entirely subjective – if you love them, they are the highest quality dolls in the world to you.
Wigs can be a bit tricky sometimes. I know Etsy has a variety of sellers, although sifting through their search function can be difficult. Still, you would probably find what you’re looking for there at least. eBay sometimes has wigs as well, usually secondhand. It will help a lot to measure your doll properly – there are diagrams online on how to measure for a wig. Then you can search “[size] doll wig” on your site of choice and browse the results. I don’t have a particular favorite brand myself – I’ve gotten wigs from all over in the past
Best of luck!

Crafting update! I have not yet finished the elephant, but I did get most of my small plushies put in their temporary home, and got a bunch more fabric put away!
The elephant might be finished tomorrow? I’ve only got two machine sewn seams left to add, then it’s time to add the stuffing and do the final handsewing. And then maybe add tusks, I haven’t decided yet lol

Luthier isn't just a socially awkward king! He demonstrates both strength of mind and strength of heart. He has incredible focus and determination when it comes to attaining his goals, no matter the circumstances. But, despite his social awkwardness and intense dedication to mastering his magic, he has the compassion to help others out, like his little sister, and stay kind and true to himself. Luthier is amazing and more than worthy to be considered king!

Okay, medieval horror literature - WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???
I mean, I've seen medieval horror movies. I love folk horror and I've read my share of mysteries or adventures with medieval settings and the odd short scary story, but I did not know medieval horror was a genre unto itself.
The History Buff and the Horror Geek living in my brain are dancing what feels remarkably like an unholy tarantella....or perhaps it is St. Vitus' Dance....and oh dear, it appears the Insatiable Writer might be crawling out of her crypt to join them.
Pictured Titles:
Howls From The Dark Ages (ed. McMillan and Forse)
His Black Tongue (Luthi)
Grimoire: Dark Fiction & Horror Anthology Volume 1 (Luthi, Werner, et al.)

OUCHHH
okay but YES, i agree, in my mind he's just a really sweet guy 🥺 poor dude just had a rough night and a rough landing
I would like to say that "the guy who drinks a lot" is not the only way to characterize Elpenor.
I've seen a lot of that, and I don't mind it really, but I love to see versions of Elpenor who aren't defined by that. There's no indication whether it might have just been a thing that happened once. And if so...
My Elpenor when he's remembered is "the guy who likes to climb." He used to climb trees, roofs, the ship's mast. He liked sitting at the top and looking out at the scene spread below him. Sometimes he would drag Polites or Perimedes along and sit up there next to them for as long as they were willing to stay.
As far as drinking, he didn't actually drink much. Not any more than the average crew member. But that evening on Circe's island...
Elpenor had two friends in the world. Only two people who actually noticed him. One of them was dead in a monster's cave, with nothing even left to remember him by except the red band of cloth that the captain had taken and tied around his arm. The other was struggling more than usual with depression and had been pulling away from Elpenor. And besides, 550 men, more than 90% of their ships, had just been lost all at once. Elpenor wasn't even confident he would ever make it home.
He was so lonely, and so tired. For one night, he wanted to forget. So he climbed. He sat on the roof and and he drank. He didn't remember how off-balance alcohol made him.
Not until it was too late.

seen people talk about how marcs 2012 season was the reason the penalty point system was introduced (that made vale start from the back in 2015 which is admittedly absolutely absurdly funny) so here i am to ask my favorite motogp historian for thoughts (and prayers?) mostly about what exactly marc DID to make that happen (kinda funny also that he was branded a track terrorist from day 1 😭) and why they struck it in the mid 2010s?
okay so I'm gonna be lazy here and start out by just including what I put in the marc race recs post:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
phillip island 2011 was the worst incident, and marc was criticised by motogp riders too, including valentino and casey. that one was like... it was just straight up dangerous and also incredibly stupid, I mean you're trying to get an extra lap in at the end of fp1 and are putting yourself and other riders in serious danger (definitely a case where you can argue that the penalty didn't go far enough and a race ban would have been warranted). marc can sometimes be pretty bullish in response to criticism while still going away and kinda realising what he'd done was a bad idea, quietly adjusting his behaviour... examples include this, where he had his team appeal the penalty, as well as of course 2018 argentina, where he talked down the 'mistakes' he'd made and said he'd done more wrong in the aleix than the valentino incident (which may be true, but it's the rhetorical equivalent of saying it's better to go up to someone's home and throw bricks through the windows than it is to set it on fire) - he is fairly good at learning from his mistakes, even when he doesn't always fully admit to them
that being said, of course he did continue getting himself involved in a fair bit of controversy during 2012. but it's worth pointing out that the penalty points system wasn't just a case of 'oh this kid is so bad, we've got to do something' - it was also a case of 'yeah this is being handled in a super inconsistent manner, actually'. like, there were times people felt marc should be penalised more, yes, but other times where they felt it was too much... it was just a bit all over the place. luckily, inconsistent stewarding is a problem they've managed to fix in the intervening twelve years, so we never hear about that stuff any more. let's just give a quick summary of the four biggest 2012 flashpoints:
qatar: marc runs luthi off-track in a deliberate and pretty dangerous way and gets a slap on the cooldown lap for his troubles, plus a reprimand from race direction
catalunya: towards the end of a race in which marc made several questionable moves, pol espargaro attempted to overtake marc who had just saved a fall - marc cuts across the track to rejoin the racing line and ends up colliding with pol. he was initially given a controversial penalty in the form of a minute added to his final time, before that was rescinded (which was unsuccessfully appealed by pol's team). see here for valentino and casey's reactions
motegi: marc 'torpedoed' kallio in saturday morning practise, riding into his side while kallio was on the racing line headed into a turn and causing kallio to highside... which he was not penalised for. some responses to the incident below
valencia: marc attempted to overtake corsi in friday practise, causing him to crash. this time, race direction handed out a back-of-the-grid penalty
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it's a subtle distinction but an important one so I'll just stress it again: the stated aim of the penalty points wasn't to hold back aggressive riders like marc but to attempt to reduce inconsistency, which had been exposed in part due to how differently these marc incidents were handled. what marc did was create several high profile controversies, in each case prompting some level of frustration with how race direction handled the whole thing. obviously, there were other non-marc-related stewarding controversies, but it is inarguable that he was a significant factor in causing a revamp of the system
by the way, here's valentino's criticism of marc after the valencia incident:
Tumblr media
here's a quick explanation of how the penalty points worked:
Tumblr media
and, you know, for what it's worth marc did calm down in motogp... he certainly became better at operating in the grey area of the rules, approaching his racing in a manner his competitors didn't always appreciate but was certainly a lot harder to penalise. though there were also incidents that of course people felt marc should be penalised for - say after jerez 2013, jorge did kinda go 'okay but surely you can at least give a few penalty points for this, isn't this what they're for'. but it's not like there was unanimous agreement on that, see the immediate responses of some of the riders:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(bradley smith saying that jorge's last serious race was motegi 2005 - the one he got the race ban for - is a bit of an insane stance to take and doesn't really match up to reality, but it did make me laugh so that's something. of course the general point that during the alien era most of them were avoiding doing much actual racing isn't exactly wrong but. still)
not to make this a riding standards post, but this is the underlying tension when you're trying to decide how to regulate the sport... jerez was the first serious test that system faced - and it's one where race direction ended up calling it a pure racing incident. which is a tough call! I talked about it a bit in the sete post and what his stance was on the jerez 2005 incident, where he feels like this isn't a contact sport and shouldn't be adjudicated as such. it's a fundamental philosophical difference that became very relevant again when marc showed up fresh from his controversial moto2 campaign and woke up the entire class with his own particular brand of racing. from a write-up of the jerez 2013 race:
Tumblr media
(motegi 2008 not motegi 2010, which is something I remember because casey's pass also allowed valentino to immediately swoop on through. should be noted that casey may have apologised but he did not give the position back to dani lol. also motegi 2010 is pretty memorable if we're talking about hard racing. fair to say that valentino demonstrated he did not share the approach of his fellow aliens when battling jorge)
and more on the shift marc brought about:
Tumblr media
this is the thing, right - a big part of understanding that time period is concerning yourself with what came just before. the general feeling (unsurprisingly not shared by casey, jorge or dani) was that the series desperately needed some new life breathed into it, that the racing had become stale and sterile and far too predictable... there were several factors that contributed to this, from the beloathed 800cc bikes that were only replaced in 2012, to the approach of those three aliens and how adept they'd become at racking up wins by dominating out front, to how valentino (generally considered the most 'exciting' racer of the lot) had taken himself out of the competitive picture... I mean, in all honesty the racing is still not great in 2013 compared to the rossi heyday (it had gotten better by the very end of the 2010s), but of course there's a lot more energy to it than the years before. which meant the sport as a whole was in a tricky place where they both had to be seen to be constraining marc, stopping him from being an active danger to himself and others, while also kind of... letting him loose. a little bit of controversy is hardly a bad thing, after all - love him or hate him, everyone had a take, and that's the kind of thing that's obviously healthy for a sport
marc did get two penalty points that year for ignoring yellow flags in silverstone and crashing in the same place as cal crutchlow had just gone down:
Tumblr media
(for obvious reasons, 'ignoring yellow flags' is extremely dangerous, but there's no reason to believe he wasn't being honest here)
he was also given another penalty point for the contact that caused dani's crash in aragon, taking him perilously close to that back-of-the-grid penalty:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that was basically their position - it's a warning. broadly they wanted him to not completely revamp his approach, but just apply a little more discretion, exercise his judgement. a little more caution, a little more restraint. it's still fundamentally a different philosophy of racing than the one that had been espoused for several years by the other aliens save for valentino - but marc could get to a place where he was engaging in hard racing that generally toed the line without crossing it. a little more detail on the aragon incident and marc's approach to racing in the context of the time period from this write-up:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is the issue, right, marc was riding on just the right line of acceptable that race direction would not have in any way been justified in slapping out race bans - though you can certainly argue that in some cases, you could have handed out more penalty points, which would then have meant he would have faced more 'real' consequences. in any case, they couldn't actually 'teach him a lesson', because he'd already more or less learned it... if the lesson is 'hard racing and contact is fine, just don't overdo it'. which of course, not everyone would agree with. the odd memorable exception aside, throughout marc's premier class career he's been very aware of that line, and has taken care to avoid bringing the wrath of race direction upon himself too severely
the penalty points thing and sepang 2015... well, first of all let's quickly bring in what the actual ruling was:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
honestly, I imagine that if they didn't have a penalty points system, they would've figured out a different way to penalise him, and might have slapped him with a back-of-the-grid penalty anyway. not in a 'oh the fim had it out for valentino rossi!!!!' way, more that they did need to be seen doing something. the penalty points felt like a fairly elegant way of giving a penalty that wasn't that harsh and wasn't making any judgement calls over whether valentino deliberately kicked marc, while also in an indirect way ensuring that valentino would suffer consequences. and yes, it is a nice bit of dramatic irony - but the piece says it, the penalty "had to be severe enough for rossi to feel truly punished". the penalty points happened to be the tool they had available and perhaps with a different set of rules, valentino would have been handed a slightly different flavour of punishment. but really, this is more 'fun historical coincidence' than something that massively changed the events that played out
of course, it was a controversial decision that few people felt 100% comfortable with. on the one hand, if you believe that valentino kicked marc, then you probably would have wanted him to be disqualified - three measly penalty points does not feel enough in that situation. on the other, if you believe that valentino engaged aggressively with marc but without deliberately trying to make him crash, then a back-of-the-grid penalty that essentially decided the outcome of the championship before the final race even started is a tough pill to swallow. (of course there's also a position somewhere in between where valentino didn't literally kick marc but did attempt to run him off track, which would make the penalty 'about right'.) of course, the championship standings should ideally not determine what sort of penalties are being handed out - but equally, it's something that did limit the intrigue going into the race, and over something that felt quite arbitrary. the other penalty point he'd gotten to rack up the four total was about a qualifying incident in misano - which either feels like a silly thing to determine the ultimate outcome of the championship, or instead is a demonstration of how the cumulative nature of the points system is supposed to work. but yes, it did get a lot of criticism in the aftermath, with concerns over whether future title fights could end up being defanged as an indirect consequence of relatively minor incidents earlier in the season
and of course, the penalty points were eventually scrapped in early 2017. here's a bit more on that decision:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
basically, sepang 2015 was a contributing factor to broader changes in how motogp was regulated, which down the line had the knock-on effect of getting rid of that penalty system entirely. rightly or wrongly, race direction felt like they had better tools available to penalise riders and this system was now redundant. anyway [insert another lazy gag about how the switch to a stewards panel has completely failed in eliminating controversy from stewarding] [insert pithy closing line] [press post]
