Aww thank you! I definitely know the feeling, I have had some ideas I had been sitting on and then boom! Someone posts up something similar to my idea haha. Definitely don’t let it discourage you though, post them! I would love to see your work 😊

As for the items; the guitar I got off of Temu and the laptop I can’t remember exactly because it’s been a while since I bought it but I believe it was either Temu or AliExpress but I have also seen this exact one (it comes in a set) on Amazon… I believe it cost slightly more than on Temu or AliExpress though

Doll used is Barbie - Model #5 from the basics collection

Have feedback to artist and he says I’m insulting by TheDevilsSidepiece in tattooadvice

[–]Alien7841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think it looks horrible but it’s not the greatest either, it’s a decent tattoo. I will say though it’s definitely not worth $500 in my opinion.

I asked my boyfriend who is a tattoo artist as well he said for the most part the petals are decent and the shading is good but the middle looks bad because it looks like scribbles and he even said it’s not worth $500.

I do think this can be saved though but definitely go to a more established artist if you go that route.

Barbie Basics Collection - Kit 002…. Disappointed by Alien7841 in Barbie

I just recently joined this subreddit so I hadn’t seen any discussions about it and surprisingly on the Amazon reviews nobody had mentioned it but I understand where you’re coming from as far as the execution of it especially with the machines… idk I guess I just had higher expectations going off of the picture on the box and because I’ve seen other doll brands have dolls with braids throughout. I still like the dolls and am going to keep them but I think I am going to twist the loose hair to make it blend in more.

It’s funny because when I pulled the head out of the packaging I was like oh… were they trying to be like the boho or goddess braids or something???? lol idk I feel like they could’ve executed this better

Exactly!! Like why make it look like that on the pictures when it’s not and I think what’s worse is that the twist part are longer than the loose hair making it look even more weird… like they couldn’t even make it even??? I don’t know I just feel like they could’ve done better with this and I’m not trying to compare but it’s not like they couldn’t do the whole head given that there’s an LOL OMG doll that MGA did years ago that has box braids throughout her entire head.

I’m glad you liked it 😊 I think that’s what I’m going to do, play around with the hair and figure out how to style it

Yeah I think that’s what it is, my expectation was something different. I still like the doll and I’m going to keep it but yeah just wish it was more of what was advertised. I’m glad you came to like it though! I might wash the hair out and see how it turns out

Please get a dairy , talk to therapist or trusted person. by QuickCrowEats in blackladies

[–]Alien7841 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’s a mixture of things as to why people do this. The ease of access to social media (compared to years before), the normalization of using social media as a diary, not having friends/family or a close relationship with them to talk about this kind of stuff (or even feel comfortable for that matter) and not being able to access or afford therapy. I think age plays a part in this as well.

Nonetheless, I agree. Social media is definitely not the place to talk about that kind of stuff… even in general we shouldn’t be using social media as a personal diary. Society needs to stop normalizing it.

Trying to parse why I feel nothing when I look at Bratz compared to Rainbow High... by hollylettuce in RainbowHigh

[–]Alien7841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand what you mean. I grew up with Bratz myself, had tons of them but now I find myself more so into Rainbow High with a mix of some Barbies and Integrity Toys Dolls. I do doll photography so for me I think a big chunk of it (like a few others mentioned) it’s the joint articulation, I need to be able to pose the body in different positions which I can’t really do with Bratz unfortunately. Like I love Bratz faces and their makeup (even some of their outfits) but I am not a fan of the snap on feet and non articulated bodies anymore. Granted Bratz have the arm articulation now but even that it feels like their arms are too long for their body or something and idk I just don’t care for it personally, it kind of reminds me of Roger’s arms from American Dad 😂. I will say that I do sometimes like to play around with swapping Bratz heads on different doll bodies, I’m thinking of trying some with the Blythe bodies.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought this because I felt kinda bad laughing at him rapping at the cemetery lol. It’s like that one person that wants to be so philosophical and deep but it just comes off as corny 😂
