1999 Blown Glass American Girl Ornaments

I've only just discovered that in 1999 American Girl released blown glass ornaments of the original characters, and they are low-key terrifying:

Just straight up goofy looking.

Why do so many American Girl fans want a Japanese internment camp doll? Don’t they realize that’s a really bad idea?

Now if she was only in a camp for the very first part of her stories (like how Addy was enslaved), or it all took place before her story started, that would be okay.

But the people wishing for a doll like this never clarify that, so I assume they mean a girl *in a camp*

And let’s not, okay? Let’s just not

But I’m white so don’t take my word above a Japanese person

afjkasfhkbl ngl this was like. 83% a bit that i did not expect follow up on, but i can pull together some thoughts!

the short stories were published after the main six book series had been written

events of the short stories do not alter the pre-existing canon of the main series

but the events of the short stories also are basically not referenced in the main series (due to the the aforementioned fact that they were published after)

the short stories often focus on character and relationship development, rather than being plot-driven

also, the length and content of the short stories is quite similar to a one-shot

thus, the short stories (with this relationship to the main series and this purpose) often end up playing a role very similar to fanfiction

... not to mention the fact that valerie tripp wrote an absurd amount of the short stories, which truly feels like a fanfic author going on a spree with their favorite characters

the historicals’ short stories exist as ag’s own published fanfiction change my mind

~1930s/40s Pajama Top Pattern~

I finished a PJ set for my 1930s doll and wanted to share the pattern I made for the top! I think it could be used for quite a few decades as well as for modern 18 inch dolls. It includes a cute peter pan collar, gathered front, and short sleeves inspired by various vintage patterns I've seen such as these:

If anyone ends up using the pattern, feel free to tag me as I would love to see it!
