#little Dal

[valleydoll]

Last week I said I was going to pull out some of my Pullips for pictures this past weekend, so of course I ended up having no time. I did have a little bit of time today to pull out my Little Dal /Picco Neemo hybrid for some quick pics. I love the way the Picco Neemo body looks with the mini Pullips and Dals, so much nicer than the bodies the minis come with, and the combo creates a great little travel doll.

And to make traveling easier with this tiny (or any of my tiny bjds) I got this cute glasses case, which makes it easy to pack up a tiny and go:

I've rebodied two Little Dal heads into YMY bodies. I'm just waiting on their wigs to finish them.

In the meantime, I picked up a Chibi Risa doll and decided to keep her intact. I did give her a new wig because the stock ones are pathetic.

She's such a sweet, tiny girl.

Not stealthy enough.

Character Guides (Pt. 1) - Canterlot

Made a bunch of these quick references for my nextgen ocs. Will be posting the rest this week.

Since these turned out so fast to make, I will also make pages for the older version of the mane six, the student six, and any other characters that you can send letters to.

richie tozier & mike wheeler birthday hcs !

✧ warnings: none !

✧ ziggys notes: this is late i’m sorry ml :( i hope u like it though cause i’m kinda bad at writing for these 2 <3

✧ m.list — nav.

✿ richie tozier !

ugh this whore

he either goes all out for ur bday or gets u one little thing (it’s still meaningful though)

or halfway through the day he’ll randomly dissapear and come back like “omg hey!! i got u more things!”

he acts all cool when he gives u ur gifts but like the week before he was struggling to find something he knew u like and complained to eddie non stop abt it

“u don’t know what to get ur own s/o?..” -eddie probs

he does help though

would (try) to bake ur cake he cannot bake so he gets someone else to do it but he DOES decorate it !!

ur birthday party is probably with the losers club and it’s so chaotic

they all wanna eat that cake so bad but u legally have to take the first place (they understand but they’re disappointed)

y’all don’t know who baked the cake (jk it was prob eddie) but holy shit it’s amazing

ngl richie decorated it kinda shitty but he tried!!! and really nobody cares as long as it tastes good

on his birthday after he eats the cake and opens presents and shit all he wants to do is sit in his room with u

y’all prob makeout i’m ngl but after that he js wants a sleepover and to watch movies and then pass out on the bed

also u think he’s asleep and then hhe says something ridiculous

✿ mike wheeler !

he’s like richie but he goes even more insane for ur bday

he did a FUCK ton of chores months before and spent all the money on anything sight he thought u might like

when u wake up hes already at ur house talking to ur parents waiting for u to get up so he can give u ur stuff

he will watch and do literally whatever u want the whole day even if it’s a movie he want or letting u put pig tails in his hair

however he genuinely despises his own birthday

he woke up on his 11th birthday and decided he hates that whole day (same)

he sleeps until the afternoon to make it over quicker

he’ll spend it with u but he mightttt be a little grumpy

and ur lucky if u can get him up before 3pm

it's almost 1am here's my essay about Dal and captainhood <333

I hath promised a Dal essay and I hath delivered… 

I've had this in the drafts for so long, but I just rewatched season two and it really allowed me to solidify a lot of my thoughts.

One of things that really strikes me about Dal's character and his relationship to command is that being in charge is a place of safety for him. He's had to be self-reliant and self-sufficient pretty much his whole life until the Protostar. It's something that was engraved into him since he was small, that the only person Dal could really depend on was himself.

And because he was never around anyone who actually cared about him until the Protostar, that was the right thing to do. This need to be in charge, to be in control really, is a learned survival skill. "I can tell you from experience, people in authority lie."

But in season two, his circumstances have changed (for the better!), and that's not the right thing to do anymore. Ultimately, to me, Dal's season two character arc is about vulnerability and trust. He's been in survival mode for so, so long, and now we watch him learn to heal.

You start with this boy who's spent the grand majority of his life alone or with people who are exploiting him, and the story takes him by the hand and tells him "now that you're safe, now that you have people who care about you, you can't live like that anymore."

All throughout season one he learns trust. Trust in his crew, in Hologram Janeway, in the Federation and in Starfleet as institutions that can and will help him and his newfound family. But as a captain,when he was guiding his crew through active crisis after crisis, trust looked like open doors. It looked like laying out all the variables and problems on a table so they could figure a way out together. 

Trust looks very different on the Voyager-A. It asks him to have faith in what he's not seeing, what he's not being told. He has to believe that they have his best interests at heart, that he's not trusting his family to something that will try to hurt them. 

Captainhood isn't just bossing people around for Dal. It's the responsibility of holding the lives of the people he loves in his hands. He trusts his own hands. He has the best interest of his crew at heart. 

To ask Dal to relinquish control, is to ask him to place the lives of himself and his family into someone else's hands. Which, historically, has not gone great for them. It prods directly at his trauma, asks him to take undo and ignore the survival instincts that kept them alive for so long. Is it any wonder he has trouble with that?

Dal's not going around crawling through Jeffries Tubes because he's a brat or because he thinks he's entitled to know everything. He's a traumatized kid whose self-sufficiency, independence, and ability to make his own decisions were once, for a very long time, the literal line between life and death for him and his crew.

And even if he trusts Starfleet and Janeway in his head on a logical level (which I absolutely believe he does), there's still this instinct that's written into him. It's a process to learn how and when to turn that off, and that's what we see especially throughout the first half of season two. 

This really culminates in the cafeteria scene after they return with the Protostar and Chakotay, when Dal advocates for the Starfleet temporal management guys to figure out a way to get the Protostar back to Tars Lamora. Dal was able to see that his hands weren't the best ones for the job, and trust Gwyn's life to someone else. That's huge for him. He trusts not just a person, but a branch of an institution he's never interacted with before, with one of the people that mean the very most to him. And Dal's able to give up that control, to place himself and his crew in that position of potential vulnerability, because he's finally started to feel it in his bones that he's safe here.

Chapter 14 of Look Forward to the Life you Left Behind is up! In which Megamind needs a nap, Roxanne snorts Pepsi out her nose, and Metro Man also needs a nap. 9,000 words. (Also, a flashback with Roxanne's brother Drew in it! It came out of nowhere while I was trying to post this and I'm very nervous about leaving it in.)

I found a Little Dal Pisces that I am going to rebody to be a pocket doll.

She's teeny! But we'll fix that.

I had got a YMY2 slender body, but it's the wrong shade. Ordering another in a paler skin tone.

In the meantime, I found a petite Blythe outfit for her. She's also going to get a new wig. Her original one is not great. I think I found a pinky-purple that will work, but this blonde is fine for now.

Oh, and her name is going to be Delja.

"Yes, I've always told you to drop it, it's true. But now... you're not giving up. Not now. And I don't really care about the movie. If they're out to get you, it means the murderer is afraid of you. It means you know what you're doing. He's afraid of you."

BITCH? I told you we were real! And stop ignoring me, I was absolutely halarius. Fuck you too Steve

-Dallas

Soda, despite reading the note, still passes it over to Steve.

Steve merely glances it over, sighing and patting Soda's back.

Alright, I'll deal with it...

Listen. Soda ain't in the right mind frankly to answer either of ya. And neither am I, but I'm doin' it for Soda not for me.

Real or not, don't mean Soda ain't shaken up and bothered. Now scram! Go elsewhere!

The "every captain has to have a unique catchphrase to go to warp" is so goofy. No they don't
