just having some thoughts about the disney dolls.

while the disney ag stuff is pretty cute (if a bit lacking in quality for the price - especially the extra outfits), i am continually disappointed that they haven’t made the main outfits for the dolls available separately. I’m sorry, but I’m not spending upwards of $100 just because i want a cute rapunzel dress for one of my dolls to wear on halloween 😅

i know that not having the outfits available is likely part of the marketing strategy. lots of parents would think the same thing: “why should i buy another doll when i can get this outfit for the doll my kid already has?” as a result, ag has an incentive to not let it be that easy. if people can take the cheap way out, they will.

however, there is a huge market for princess outfits for existing dolls. i got all of mine from amazon, and there is a shockingly wide selection. unfortunately, most princesses do not have a nice quality version available from any seller - there are a handful of really nice ones for around $25 (there are some frozen ones and a tiana dress that are truly stellar), but god forbid you want a merida dress that looks half decent or a mulan outfit that isn’t a fancy dress she would hate. it’s clearly a thing that people want! heck, i want it! idk.

i’m sure they make more money this way, which means that it’s never, ever going to change, but I don’t like it lol.

i would forgive all of this, however, if only ag would give me my hearts desire: a set of armor for mulan as an extra outfit. i would HAPPILY pay the $70 that most “extra fancy” ag outfits are for that. honestly, i would probably pay even more. because NO ONE is making it. i would happily pay an independent artist on etsy upwards of a hundred buckaroos for such a thing, as i know it would be insanely complicated. however, no one has taken on the task. because its insanely complicated.

anyway. this is a bit of a ramble. i really just want to dress up my dolls in cool armor. someone please make armor for my dolls.

I swear to god, DC fandom is the first fandom in my life where people are up an arms vagueposting about AU's and fics when they're not directly canon compliant all the time. I'm not even talking about the dreaded fanon, I'm talking about fics in general. Like???? Yeah I know this isn't how it goes in canon, what about it??? It's not supposed to! And also if only one person is writing that kind of AU, then the person seeing you whine about them writing the AU does know that you are talking about them. In my almost 30 years of life I've never seen this kind of behaviour before. Don't worry, since you don't know how the block button works, I'm going to do it for you! I'm a nice person like that <3

Thinking about how if Shermy Pines. And like, if he is the baby, he’d be born in the 1970s and be 40 by 2012 and he’s already a grandad. He had to be a teen dad in the 80s (after a severe economic recession) and then his kid ended up being a teen parent by 1999 (Which is 8 years before ANOTHER SEVERE ECONOMIC RECESSION LOL)

Also he was born into a pretty broken family, probably rarely if ever saw his brothers. Do you think he ever saw Stanley before he had to start pretending to be Ford? Do you think Ford visited from college??? Because he didn’t seem confident facing his father until he made millions, so like???

And, like, do you think Filbrick and Caryn changed as parents by the time they raised Shermy? Because it seems like a trend that as parents get older they mellow out a bit, so Shermy probably has a completely different experience with their parents then Stan and Ford, and talking to them is just “is this seriously the same parents???” (Imagine the silent resentment that’d cause 😭😭😭)

Personally I headcannon that Shermy had a daughter (Mabel and Dipper’s mom) and not a son like it says on the wiki because c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. Idk why this is important to me but… c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. It just feels right to me.

I may be sick? (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

Woke up just now and I feel like absolute sludge. Head hurts, want to throw up, fatigued..

Very well could be due to burnout as well

Marisha's comment about how Relvin is one of those parents who ended up with a child they didn't know what to do with really gets to the heart of it, i think, and is such a good way to tie the fantasy element of Imogen's powers into things more tangible. because there are really a lot of parents like Relvin in real life, who have a child with the person they're happily married to and never expect to be left alone with the kid. or who expect a ""normal"" (read: cisgender and heterosexual, able-bodied, relatively neurotypical and obedient, etc.) child and end up with one who's ""difficult"", who demands more or different of them than what they believe they signed up for. and that's not entirely entitlement on a parent's part- many cultures' common frameworks of parenthood and child-rearing do not include space for these children. it makes sense that Relvin was unprepared. raising any child is difficult, and raising a child whose needs you were never taught how to accommodate, who the world is so cruel to, is even more challenging.

and yet. and yet, the person who bears the brunt of the harm in these situations will always be the child. they're the ones who have to live every moment of how the world treats them, without the support that their parent is supposed to provide them. and when asked to care for his child even when she turned out to be ""difficult"", Relvin couldn't. for entirely sympathetic reasons, of course. he tried, in his own way. i don't think he's a bad guy. but he's let his own broken heart bleed onto his daughter. he hasn't been able to give her much else.

Genuinely intrigued by the potential of Peri and Irep's dynamic but only in a platonic way so I end up not vibing with the fandom's portrayal of it 😔😔😔

(No but listen LISTEN they were kinda-almost-friends when we last saw them in FOP, yeah? Now they're enemies, with both actively fighting each other, and Irep going so far as to try and kill Peri's parents. What happened? When? What influenced it? Did they ever become friends, or did it nosedive the moment the cameras turned off? What about Sammy? How do Irep's parents factor into this? Could it ever be fixed? There's just so much we haven't seen, and romance just feels like too easy a solution to me. Let their friendship be easy to break, fragile. Let them have to work to keep the connection. Fairies and Anti-Fairies are literally made to be opposites, so what happens when two genuinely and truly become friends?)

((and yeah I guess a lot of this could factor into a romantic angle but ALAS the fandom seems to be leaning heavily into the funny toxic yaoi angle 😔 I don't mind it! By all means, please have your very harmless fun! But it ain't my jam :P Perhaps I'll have to write a oneshot myself...))

(((see tags for more rambles i guess. whoops a bitch spoke too much in there as he always does)))

I'm comfortably snuggling in your inbox. I love Keefe. You can't get me out. I'm a slug

i was with you right up until you said you were a slug and i hate slugs so now i am putting on sixteen gloves' worth of protection and pinching your slimy wriggly body while touching as little of it as possible and holding you at arm's length and tossing you as far away from me and my inbox as possible

i feel like i'm the only one who draws astarion like a silly gremlin. i see everyone in the bg3 fandom drawing him all mysterious and sexy (/pos) but i just draw him as silly cringefail losergirl as i possibly can
