#rainbow high when it was good

[kryptokat96]

Breaking news from my mailbox. Delilah Fields got to me today from a fellow collector who did not price gouge this beauty. The amount of doll hairs resellers want for her has been laughable considering she can still be found at overstock shops like Ross for less than retail. Love seeing collectors help collectors.

Euthanization. Betrayal

They make me SICK!!!1!1!!1! I WANT THEM TO SUFFER !!!!!

Textless version and yapping under cut

Okay so this is an au I've been just tumbling around in my brain of my pressure oc whenever I get bored where he becomes part of the good people and supremely angsty shit happens between him and painter constantly. I'm too tired to type out and explain stuff rn so I'm just gonna put some of my previous yappings from my dms in (they're kinda old they're from like a week or two ago)

[mashmouths]

so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell

Doll review time!

today I received via target the Sunny and Luna Madison two-pack, which i had had my eye on for a while but decided i would wait on a sale for them. and they went on sale recently for 50% off! they were 25 dollars (plus shipping, as my target was unable to let me reserve one for in-store pickup so i had to order them shipped) but in my opinion a very good price for both of them!

i really appreciate that RH always has the color-coordinated stands. saves me from having to get cheap generic stands every two seconds like with mh LMAO. also, Sunny is actually my first Rainbow high doll, since all my other girls are shadow high! i also noticed that shadow high has slightly different stands with spikes on them as compared to the RH ones.

here's the back of their hair.

Sunny's hair is CRUNCHY. i'm talking rock solid. for this elaborate hairstyle she has though, i understand why. Even though i could probbaly at least get the four dangling curls looking nicer with a wash and re-curl, for now at least i'm content to leave her as-is. Luna's hair is significantly less crunchy and more in line with the typical amount of gel for this curl pattern. out of the box it is in two distinct halves, but i separted the curls a bit to give her some more volume.

now, for some individual details.

I'll start with Sunny! In my opinion, she's the clear winner of the pack, and one of the cutest RH designs ever. the reason i was interested in this pack was for her adorable outfit, as well as the fact I like this Luna outfit more than her basic doll.

first up, her face! Sunny's very cute, but what struck me the most with this doll is her hair clips! she has 5, and theyre all different colors. combined with her shooting star earrings, there's a lot to love. I'm very fond of the yellow and rainbow color scheme of this doll.

Her shoes! yep, heel crocs. and leg warmers. it's so ridiculous and over the top, just like everything about this outfit. they're perfect.

I took her jacket off to kook at what she's wearing under it. the little decal on the shirt is surrounded with embroidered safety pins. cute!

the skirt is two layers. the pain white skirt, and the clear plastic with stickers layer over that. i love the pocket details, though they aren't seen much with the shirt and jacket over them. i do like to see that they're there though!

one thing that struck me with this doll is without the jacket, her outfit is actually not very yellow at all! it's mostly white

as for that tiny jacket, it's as pretty and detailed for its size as i'd espect out of rainbow high. tiny ruffle details, pockets, and drawstrings. on the back is a little cartoon sunny with some more rainbows, and a sun and moon that match her hairclips. also, a little cameo of the bear bag.

I love the decora (i think, correct me if im wrong im not super knowledgeable about jfashion cultures) influences on her. everything has a cute and childish vibe, but while altogether its definitely something i could see one of my more fashionable friends wearing around our college campus. a 10/10 sunny (i think she's definitely the designer's favorite)

next up, Luna!

Luna is quite pretty as well, and im a sucker for the series one grayscale dolls. they're such a unique concept! however, I feel like she just lacks that last bit of punch that sunny has. maybe because she doesn't have quite as many acccesories? maybe some hairclips for her too, or a necklace.

here's her face! I love her face in this doll, I'm pretty sure the mold is identical to sunny's (they are twins, after all) but their makeup makes them look really different to me imo. epectually from a distance, Luna looks a bit more mature. in person as well, her eyes are quite clearly a lovely shade of purple, (that isn't too intense as to ruint the grayscale effect) though it seems like it doesn't come off well in the pictures.

not as many details to show off for Luna, but here's a close-up on the shoes. my roommate said she recognized them so im sure theyre in referece to some designer shoes (as RH/SH often does) that i'm not familiar with.

nothing particularlt special from the back. but you can see the little attachement loops on the belt to the skirt a bit better.

he'res her bag, though it's not as fun as sunny's bear bag, it's quite cute, and light enough that it can be held up by Luna with the small handle, or worn on the shoulder instead. it also opens, which i always like to see.

of course, the customary .5 shots

Final thoughts: This is my favorite of the twin 2-packs out of RH/SH so far, I think they're gorgeous and well worth the sale price. Sunny in particular is once again proving to be of the most consistently well-designed characters of the whole line (i love her Fantastic Fashion look as well, and while yellow + rainbows is basically always sunny's thing, I think this is the best execution of it out of all her dolls. I also really prefer this luna to her series 1 doll, where the chrome is more contained and it looks more like an actual outfit you might see in a high school. happy to add both of them to my collection!

Thanks for reading, if you stuck around for this whole long long post lol!

I'm not feeling well today, so I'm in bed, and it's so fucking boring. I wish I at least had my Switch but of course this happens to be the day my husband took it to work with him to download some of my games for me (since we don't have internet yet) 😭

happy weed day to all who celebrate here are my weed opinions

waking and baking is bad for you and i personally will never do that shit <3

smoking a whole bowl is too much.

taking a lot of extra hits after already being high is a one way ticket to fucking up your tolerance. smoke until youre high and let yourself come down

take breaks. dont smoke every day it will fuck you up. also its expensive. i take a week break between sessions at Least

no shame if you smoke out of gas station glass but maybe save up to get that shit replaced

no shame if you smoke out of a tobacco pipe. speaking from personal experience, smoked out of one for 3 yrs. it was a piece of shit too and i still have it

shoutout to people who smoke out of homemade pipes and waterbottle bongs. weed warriors

clean your bong either before or after you smoke. im talking hot water AND isopropyl alcohol and salt. smoking out of a bong that is a even a little bit dirty is not it

clean your glass regularly PLEASE

if you dump your bong water down the sink drain..... dont. outside or tub drain only

coughing is so so so normal ive been smoking for 5 yrs (christ...) and i still cough. sometimes you take too big of a hit

dont put ice in your bong unless you have an ice catch. either way ice in your bong is fucking stupid just refrigerate the water i stg

anything else in a bong besides water is a bad choice

a bong bigger than 9 or 10 inches is doing too much. if you have a bong the size of a didgeridoo you are doing WAYYY too much

exercise. if you smoke exercise. do cardio. especially if you plan on smoking regularly.

no shame if you do or dont do some of these things, theres enough elitism going on in smoking communities anyway. i mean. some of it i do believe is genuine safety and hygiene but. most are opinions. do what you want and what works for you, take what i say or leave it

all in all on this 420. take care of yourselves. smoke responsibly 🍃💛

but, just curious, have you seen hugo vlad in the new event? if so thoughts on his beautiful model and the perfect cupids bow and double mole in the corner of his eyes? v gorgeous v im saving for him immediately

I didn’t meet him in the event, but I did see his character model. Now, this might be a hot—or at least lukewarm—take (I've seen mixed reactions to his reveal), but I don’t think he’s as bad as people say. That said, would I have preferred the Link of Zenless? MAYBE. VERY MUCH SO. But I’m reserving judgment until I see his 2D art because, wowee, fanart is making me switch teams very fast.

I totally get why people say his design is “simple” and that he kind of looks like an NPC, but I don’t really see it. If anything, adding more bells and whistles would just distract from how much effort went into his face?? Like, what kind of character needs such luscious lips??? Regardless, zzz is always hitting with each male character.
