hi! i was wondering if you had any knowledge of the first instances of barbie having jointed legs- not the bend and snap kind, but like balljoint-like? i'm having no luck on my own bc i'm just finding stuff about the snappy kind

I'm not 100% sure so please note that this post is mostly research done today and therefore might be wrong.

Also yes thank you for specifying the type of bendable legs you were talking about because otherwise I would have just talked about Tutti and that wouldn't have been fun for anyone.

(A reminder of my favourite girl Tutti.)

I didn't know the answer to your question to start off with, but I did know that I had a doll in the 90s with articulated knee and elbow joints, so that was a good place to start.

This particular Flickr poster backs up my thinking that the 1990s had these dolls, but I wouldn't necessarily call that definitive that the first time this articulation appeared was in the 90s. That being said, I can't find a source on there being any earlier dolls that had that kind of articulation as opposed to plasticizer bendable or bend and snap kind. So I am going to tentatively suggest that it was the early 90s.

This gymnast Barbie from 1994 isn't the one I had (I had the Olympic Gymnast Barbie for the Atlanta Games) but I'm pretty sure it's the same body, and is the earliest doll that I can be sure had that leg style.

That said if anyone knows better than me please let me know!

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #don't mind me just killing time waiting for maintenance to end so i can stick my face directly into 7-12 #i mean i'm on the record (read: constantly posting) about how much i love the whole tragique backstory behind mal's birth #and. look. hold on it's a day ending in y time to be embarrassing about anime characters online again #no but really i love him. i love how he's such a vague figure but also the way his and silver's stories contrast #i cannot articulate it very well but just #i love how he's essentially like...bad end silver #he let himself go along with the big evil plan because he wanted to save his dad and not betray his king and all that #and when he finally did take a stand it was too late to stop the worst of it #meanwhile silver was immediately like NOPE WE'RE NOT DOING THIS #silver is NOT going to end up slaying the dragon thank you very much #me kicking my stupid little legs in glee over it all #and! the retrospect when you realize! that he was the one leading silver around lilia's memories!!!!#he is so happy that silver and lilia have each other!#he's so happy for them!#i want to put him in a can and hold him in my pocket for 16 years #also: his ridiculous hair. it's so silly and so good.#may vil never meet him #the knowledge that there's someone with naturally gorgeous hair who has somehow done it even dirtier than silver would destroy him

The other day I thrifted a Poppy doll that I intend to give some TLC and I REALLY want her to have an outfit like this one 🥺 I found out clothes made for ob11 dolls will fit her as long as the garment is made out of fabric stretchy enough to fit over her hands so I'm very excited at the possibilities

#rainyart #trolls #queen poppy #poppy trolls #DreamWorks trolls #her previous owner chopped up her bangs p bad so im gonna try to root some extra yarn in there to salvage them #and then for fun im gonna try my hand at adding further articulation to her arms and legs so we'll see how that goes #and ofc im gonna repaint her face

Zoro, whose hands are scarred from protecting the crew. And Sanji, whose hands are scarred from providing for the crew.

#something i wasn't quite able to articulate in scarred hands #but the concept is just so...#zosan #roronoa zoro #black leg sanji

A podcaster I listen to just spent an episode describing what his neurodivergent burnout is like for him, and it’s the first time someone’s experience has actually really resonated with me. It affirming and concerning lol

#I always thought that burnout was just feeling tired and brain dead #and it can be for some people #but he described it as a loss of executive function and a pervasive sense of time loss and confusion #and that’s what I’ve been experiencing but couldn’t articulate or didn’t even know to point out #just constantly feeling like I’m forgetting something and unable to remember what I’m meant to do #and making weird errors #so scrolling about it instead #fuck dude I guess I do get burn out and that’s what I’ve been having for ages atp #I don’t know how to recover from it unless I break my leg and get an extended time off work #I’m just constantly overwhelmed #genuinely idk how people do this and don’t go insane #txt #it’s good I can now say what I’m experiencing is burn out #and there’s probably nothing actually wrong w my brain bc it feels like that sometimes I stg

Modern au with a strong theme of Hiccup coping with his leg better than all the people around him and it's low key pissing him off

#hiccup haddock #what.. im not projecting #anyways woke up w a shit ton of notes n ideas for my modern au i dont remember writinf so thats cool #rotbtd modern au #i feel like he'd be more traumatized from [undecided event that caused the injury] than the fact he had an amputation #and would be obviously frustrated about such major changes in the way he does things but #itd be different than the like conern (pity) other ppl show #he makes a leg joke and stoick just looks at him sadly/uncomfortably or ppl stare like 'do i laugh or..?'#(obviously. people generally dont make jokes abt their disabilities out loud if theyre not okay with you laughing 😭)#the point is the way hes treated would be wildly different in a modern au especially one not taking place on berk #my aus #moth.txt #lots more thoughts on this n the feelings he will have (in a fic i may or may not write) but im struggling to articulate them #mainly is the frustration though. frustration with yourself but moreso how the people around you suddenly change their behavior due #to your disability and Not in a good way.#the balance between learning to accept help and coming to terms with it but also not #letting people coddle you or making sure they know when they overstep #etc etc etc. like i said: struggling to articulate it but its just a very specific Feeling #httyd modern au #deyas dragons

I love when they get to just sit and talk, even if it's only for a couple seconds (and even tho it’s just Nami lecturing Sanji about helping Vivi while Sanji is being stubborn because he wants her to fully heal)🥰

you'll never believe who i found at work today randomly in the bins...

posey rose! with tutu! i love the sweetsteps ponies, im a sucker for anything that's like. a hat on a hat of stereotypically cute and whats more stereotypically cute than ballerina ponies. the molded on leotard. the tramp stamp placement of her cutie mark. its good. I'm just surprised that it took them 8 years to make posable g1s and then they only made one line of them? weird choice imho but yknow. girls toys never get articulation esp back then.

i find some of my favorite toys completely by chance not even rlly looking like my approach to collecting is literally this meme

also her box art is so funny. bust it down thotiana

#shes dorty ofc but for 98 cents plus tutu dude she looks great for almost fourty #not that i think ponies rlly benefit from articulation they tend to subtract like the articulated g4s w like #leg joints all look like ass amd dont function well #add no more like. function to the toy either #i hate spending money and i hate online shopping yes im a highly specific collector yes we exist

interactions that make me say Hmm

#I cut out the part about the wife with a wooden leg because that’s just. a whole other something in need of unpacking #there’s just so much to say about this that I can’t articulate #house acting both as as a saviour and a beneficiary to wilson’s self-martyring #house’s genuine protectiveness over wilson. his commitment to looking out for him #also the fact that this is like the 12th time lucas has been hired to investigate wilson for house and he’s sick of it LMFAO #this episode was cute #house md #hilson #house/wilson #gregory house #james wilson #greg house #hatecrimes md

random angsty thought but...

do you think it's possible that Sanji will die in the process of destroying the Red Line thus creating the All Blue and him being content with that ending because he felt like he had finally repaid his debt back to old man Zeff.

In a way, Sanji is living both of their dreams so if the straw hats create the All Blue in the way I think they will, it will be like all four seas have merged into one. If he died in the process, he'd be fulfilling Zeff's dream and allowing him to see the all blue like he always wanted

But at what cost?

#one piece #black leg sanji #red leg zeff #sanji #zeff #that's his son #that's his boy #he would be destroyed #because Sanji never got to see the fruits of his own labour #never got to see his dream to its very end #I think I would cry myself death if that happened #I don't know how to articulate my thoughts but #all I can think of is sad sanji angst

I bought this MOC Scarab, bootleg lego (good quality tho, I'm impressed), and I assembled it today. Legs part completed !

Oh no ! It's trying to flee !!

Pfew. foiled by the edge of the bed and the total lack of spring in the legs xD FAS bots, man, what a bunch of assholes. Yes, yes, I'm assembling your head, just calm the flip down. there will always be time to go and destroy the earth later.

Done ! Climb on the box and preen, now. Yes, like that. Such a pretty killing machine *pets* …Ouch !

FAS robots, man, what a bunch of tiny assholes. *gets stung again* HEY

(This one was actually kinda cheap for the number of pieces. I got it on aliexpress for about 20€ shipping included. Just look for Horizon stuff, you'll find them.)

#“lego” scarab #FAS scarab #“lego” MOC #not actual lego #but pretty close #the instructions were clear #all parts were there #the bricks aren't flimsy #one leg articulation is a little weak and some of the junctions are also easily disturbed #but I've seen that in actual lego so heh #I got a bunch of the cheap ones #and I got a surprise watcher as a gift #hzd #horizon zero dawn #video games #HFW
