I am so so hyped for Ozdust Ballroom Nessarose Doll

I’m already trying to figure out a MTM body match for her even though nobody will have the physical doll for a month

(Also she’s not MTM, just 11 points of articulation. The description doesn’t mention her being MTM and her ankles are NOT articulated.)

I’ve taken time to stare at these pictures every day since they came out I am enchanted

Now that modern Barbie has a wheelchair friendly dollhouse, I really want the media to reintroduce Becky 😭. She could be a redhead with freckles as a reference to LITD Midge❤️.

I know that Barbie already has a shit ton of friends but one more character couldn’t hurt, especially if she fills a much needed niche (named disabled dolls).

Bonus Ashley new prosthetic leg content! Featuring her service dog, Windy.

I crocheted her dog, Windy, a stylized harness with bags and yellow labels. The bags hold Windy's orange collar and a small teal ball :). They can probably hold her leash, as well.

Ashley probably didn't necessarily need a service dog, but what little girl doll doesn't want a pet. Windy has a My Little Pony inspired name, but I didn't manage to finish brainstorming... it also sounds like Wendy! I chose the dog with colored ears and a colored tail because I know people with service dogs dye their fur :) which is so cute. I also did research on Windy's harness, although it's kind of doll stylized- most harnesses aren't made of yarn. I think Windy has the prettiest bisexual colors!

Happy disability pride month from all my disabled dolls!

Dani has cerebral palsy, Robyn has asthma and hearing loss, Paloma is a type 1 diabetic, and mini Ellie is neurodivergent and has chronic pain!

Yes, even if the Defa Lucy designers probably weren’t thinking about it at all when they did that illustration, it’s still a good lesson about how not all people who use wheelchairs are unable to stand. It shouldn’t be that big of a deal.

I thought the wheelchair design was SO COOL until I looked closely at it and thought “wait? How is she supposed to move it exactly?” They could have easily added a little joystick to the armrest and implied it to be an electric wheelchair, but no. It’s apparently a self-propelling wheelchair with no easy way to touch the wheels and self-propel?

Anyway, even if she isn’t perfect, I’d still much rather her exist as she is than not exist at all.

But I am able-bodied so don’t use me as your main source of opinion.

This is not my usual type of post, but it is something that I believe is important and I feel that talking about something through a misunderstanding with dolls can be a chance to educate people in this community!

I am not a Twitter/X user (I hear the doll community is especially brutal on there) but I was sent these tweets. I mean absolutely no hate to the original poster of these tweets, these were sent to me cropped so I am unsure of who op is or if there is more to the story, so please forgive me if I have missed something.

Op is saying “oh…” because the doll is a wheelchair user, but on the box art the doll is seen standing.

I can see why this may be seen as a problem, and it’s likely that op is someone who thinks of wheelchair users as completely wheelchair bound, which many people do so I don’t blame them (if I saw this doll a few years ago even I may have been upset my her standing). But not every wheelchair user is completely unable to walk and/or stand, this is called being an ambulatory wheelchair user.

This tweet of theirs followed up:

I do agree with op, I highly doubt that this shein/temu brand doll was trying to “represent” an ambulatory wheelchair user, this was likely a fluke that she happened to be drawn standing. But it is not necessarily a bad thing or an ableist action.

Many wheelchair users are ambulatory; whether that means they can only stand from their wheelchair to grab something high up, or they can go for a walk three days in a row before they flare up and have to rely on their mobility aids to get around. These individuals are still disabled and are still wheelchair users.

To be completely honest, I do not care that Defa Lucy is standing, I’m more curious about how she moves as she has no access to her wheels, nor a control panel? To me, that is a poor design choice, even if she is just a doll and can’t move the wheels on her own so there is no “practical use” of the access, it is a significantly more incorrect design choice than her just being drawn standing up. (Not that I think the brand cares about portraying this topic accurately in any way, however, I feel one is more realistic than the other, even if it is “just a doll.”)

Colour blindness in Murder Drones

can we talk about how colour blindness is very common in Murder Drones.

In all the POV shots, the only character who see's colours is Doll while Uzi, N, and Kenzie Day are all colourblind (specifically cone monochromacy). We also know Alice isn't colourblind since she identified Nori's yellow eyes.

So when Uzi's eye(s) turn yellow or bleeds blood instead of oil; no one points it out because most characters wouldn't be able to tell.

Edit. if you look in the reblogs, I've done a lot more investigating and found N is colour blind but not Uzi. Check it out.

I was so moved by what a good sister Beth had - then I found said sister's Dear Santa letter as well... and I'm thinking Beth may want to reconsider letting her sister have custody of her doll, even temporarily.

for angst reasons i hc that the static on robs body can cause physical pain for him and flares up at times, esp when hes emotional. and after contemplating this, i came to the based conclusion that rob is a disabled icon and that he needs a mobility aid right NOWWWW

in my eyes his condition is essentially fibromyalgia! causes intense and chronic long-term pain flare ups where his static is, thus it can make it hard for him to walk, move around, etc. so, on some pain days, he uses a cane! he also wears compression knee pads and arm sleeves for extra support.

^ bonus quick doodle of him in some forearm crutches and his besties! rob uses them during significant leg pain days if his upper arms are fine-ish. forgot his compression pads here oops but idk banana joe ate them

I love The Butterfly Pig!

I’m following them on Instagram and they make so many 3D-printed medical devices for stuffed animals and dolls. They’ve helped a lot of kids understand what’s happening to them

Their devices are designed for stuffed animals and “13″ Minikane, Paola Reina, and Mini Colettos baby dolls” (from their forearm crutches listing) so not everything will fit AG dolls perfectly, but it’s should be close enough most of the time

Go support them if you’re able, and check them out if you’re in need of any devices for your dolls!

Dolly cochlear implant!

I've wanted to get a doll-sized cochlear implant ever since I'd heard of doll hearing aids, and I tried making my own, but it never looked right. This one, which I ordered from The Butterfly Pig website, is almost perfect. The hook over the ear doesn't sit right so I will have to trim it down, but I am so excited that Natalia finally has her implant and it works like it's supposed to. (There's a magnet on the "transmitter" that attaches to a magnet in the doll's head, so it can be removed easily for hairstyling.)

I specifically chose the left side one for my Joss mold, so if I had kept her as Joss she could have had the regular hearing aid on one side and the CI on the other, which is not unusual for people who have differing levels of hearing loss in each ear.

I also got a non-tethered version. It's not very pretty, so I may cut a sticker to fit, or make a bow to cover it, but it is barely noticeable under her hair.

The Butterfly Pig offers their toy hearing aids in several covers, like white, pink and beige in addition to the brown and black ones I chose. They also carry several other types of medical devices for toys, like AFOs, NG tubes and nebulizers.

Some ghost Doll art for you guys

Art block moment

[amimoonshop]

I've always wanted to make more of these but they demand so much more time and attention than my other plushies.

To achieve the furry effect, I use a delicate, thin mohair combined with regular yarn to add bulk. The wings are especially intricate, requiring sewing, gluing, and wiring. The nose is sculpted and hand painted while the eyes need to be glued and clamped down. The glue needs like 24 hours of drying time.

Even with these challenges, I’m determined to revisit this design and find a way to simplify the process.

My Ashley Girl <3

Everyone say hiiii <3 loml

Do you guys like her? I've been discovering and enjoying doll tumblr lately and I'm so excited to share her with the world <3. She's an Our Generation doll- Tanisha, I believe- but she's a physical replacement for a doll I've had forever. So, in my heart, I've had her forever, too.

Also, does anyone have recommendations for how I can make her a prosthetic leg? She's got her crutch which is very beautiful, but I'd love to get her a leg, and the companies (company) which makes them unfortunately only makes them for kids and AG dolls.

Hugs <3

Forcefem stuff is not functionally different from say, a young definitely-not-a-lesbian who fantasises about an attractive older woman who will ~corrupt~ her into being gay, or like evil gothic mind control Vampire fantasies and the like.

It is literally just "thing I want is not something other people consider acceptable to want and thus the fantasy requires me being absolved of the sin of wanting it by having it forced on me instead so that I just simply have to accept it as part of life now". That's the starting point.

And then once you get past the internal issues about why you want that thing in the first place, you get to start making jokes and having fun with it as a kink.

For the young lesbian who fantasises about being ~corrupted~, it's joking about how her girlfriend made her gay by being so pretty, knowing full well she was already gay and is okay with that now, who might also ask her girlfriend to dress up as a Vampire and pretend to hypnotise her, you know, that kinda thing.

Like, this is such a common concept, why do some people get all hand-wringy about forcefem specifically?
