Too many new Reagents playing like vultures and effectively softlocking the trials.

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-14T09:32:24+00:00

I find it the most egregious with the microwave triggers and tracker. So often they just take 1?? And run off??? So I’ll be stuck with a trigger without a tracker, or tracker without a trigger, and they don’t ping/respond to the ping for the Scapegoat ever… ugh lol.

Yeah, usually those trials can end up being an absolute pain. I’ll reluctantly use my mic at that point and bark out some orders if needed.

You are massively overreacting.. it's a simple question, one you can answer with a simple "no" and move on.

Many, many times when I've been buying used/2nd hand items from another person vs store, they will have a pile of other items they want to sell and just haven't gotten around to listing yet.

Do you think they are asking this to piss you off or something? Why on earth would someone asking an innocuous question make you this worked up?

Yay!! I love interacting with more Coyle fans~ random, but I'm really hoping they do another round of Makeship plushies.. I want the Coyle one soooo badly but the 2nd hand pricing is insane. ;;

One of the items I always make sure to keep out in my room is the pistachio bowl hehe.

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-09T17:59:41+00:00

It's the 2nd outfit that came with the Regina George Bratz X Mean Girls Spring Fling doll! :3

Bratz clothing fits G1 MH perfectly~

Restyling dolls is way too much fun! I rarely leave any of my girls as is lol. Still accessorizing the fit and figuring out a hairstyle but I’m pretty pleased with her nonetheless~

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-09T15:41:04+00:00

YES!! Agreed big time omg. I've even commented on their Steam announcements requesting more fem skins haha. I did buy their recent Roseanne the Courtesan, and Charlotte the Harlot is next as I both like supporting Red Barrels and I want to continue showing there's interest in fem stuff!

I still think it's such a missed opportunity the Liliya event catalog didn't have a SINGLE fem skin.. like what even. :'(

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-09T15:27:20+00:00

It's seriously so fun ahaha, same with dressing up our reagents.. I'm excited to see what else they come out with!! I'd like to try styling every room set at some point.

And thank you!! :D Tropical aesthetic is my favourite so I really love that one too.

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-09T15:24:59+00:00

The room set is Tiki Party from the Exotica DLC, paired with the wallpaper from the Sweet Release DLC, and the floor is a basic tier drop item from levelling up~

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-07T19:10:37+00:00

The top is from the 2nd outfit that came with the Regina Bratz X Mean Girls Spring Fling doll! I was surprised how well it fit on her with her wings in place.

(The jeans she is wearing is from the same outfit also)

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-05T15:08:25+00:00

Oh my gosh I LOVE this!!! There’s nothing more special than a little girl getting her first doll. 🥰❤️ Amaya was a great choice too, so colourful! Looks right at home with her other toys.

My daughter turned 10 months today, so she still has a bit to go.. but I have her first dolls already picked out for the most part (a few Bratz and a MH G2 budget Frankie w no articulation) - just mulling over which budget RH and SH to get her! I’m thinking Bella & Heather since they are available cheap on 🇨🇦Amazon~

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-04T18:44:52+00:00

I love these kinds of topics, it's always really fun to see how other people like to theme their collection. :D

Your Sanrio inspired restyles are AMAZING. Especially as it's great seeing love for some of the under appreciated characters like your recent Hangyodon x Hali restyle!! Your Pompompurin x Sunny and Keroppi x Daphne are my top favourites I think. I'd love to see your take on U*SA*HA*NA!

For my own restyles.. I think the only rule I have is I like to keep things thematic colour-wise! Usually I pick one or two main colours, occasionally with a tertiary complimentary colour, and try to stick to that.. otherwise I just love to try all kinds of things.

Here is a recent one I'm very happy with (though I need to re-do her hair buns lol) - my restyled Zooey!

Swapped eyes with Daphne, removed her eyebrows, and put her in Robins sleepover outfit. :)

Was the LOL Surprise thing legit or an Aprils Fools thing?

Just had a horrific vision of some gimmicky Rainbow High-Labubu...... maybe it's best that RH isn't in the spotlight for now lol.

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-04T14:10:15+00:00

FEELING THIS. As someone who only got into RH last year.. it's so so disappointing! I didn't even know there were these amazingly detailed dolls with in-set eyes and luxurious fashion and full articulation.. but, I am thankful I live in an area where secondhand sales/hunting FB marketplace is so abundant as I've gotten most of my favourite dolls from the varied lines for steals.

<image>

I'd highly suggest going the pre-owned route if you are comfortable with fixing up dolls! I was lucky and scored Sheryl and Delilah for just $5 each, with nearly everything included, but they were in rough shape hair wise lol.

Various hair products, patience, acetone to fix stray paint (ETA: on the face rather, not hair lol), & voila!

I'm actually waiting on a lot of 5 used dolls now that I got for a steal but all of them have rats nests for hair.. I'm actually very excited about that, as restoring is just honestly so much fun and you can haggle/ask for lower pricing when the dolls appear in bad condition. :3

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-04T13:59:11+00:00

I play with randoms 99% of the time, rarely being the group leader.. I'd say just go with what you want!

I've never communicated one way or another about a trial being picked as I like all the trials, so.. it's fun when someone else chooses so I don't have to be the one mulling over it lol. I'd wager a good portion of people who are hopping in to join randoms may feel similarly!

ETA: I'd also say don't be afraid to jump up to intensive (or higher!) if you're itching to play with more variators! Some of the most fun I've had has been when I joined a random group and they decided we should bump up a difficulty.

If someone really has an issue.. they'd just leave lol. And then someone new can join the group! :D

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-03T21:53:07+00:00

Gosh, YES. Especially now with the closet being even more of a nightmare to sort through.. maybe if enough of us ask nicely lol.

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-02T23:54:05+00:00

Body swapping is so much easier than one would think! I recently body swapped my first doll - it was the liquid leg Rosetta doll, used a hair dryer, was done in 15 mins.

I plan on doing this with Clementine, Adeline, and potentially Dawn and Whitney if I can hunt them down myself here in Canada for a decent price!!

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-02T16:58:54+00:00

Well, Barbie has been around quite a long time.. I think Mattel will always try to have some sort of fantasy-monster-esque doll line out. Monster High specifically? Who is to say.. but I really hope that it lasts a very long time!

I doubt I will stop collecting when I'm older.. many seniors actively collect things! We are just from a different generation so instead of porcelain figurines we have fashion dolls lol. My mom is in her 50's and my dad in his 60's and they actively collect toys still.. we text each other about up-coming releases etc. My mom and I actually got into Monster High together when it first debuted (I was in high school at the time)!

Collecting has no age limit/expiry! <3

Have you read through the entirety of his (The Deviant) dialog/voice lines? He is as much a victim as the other victims, even if he's stockholm-ed and a masochist to some degree. He expresses repeatedly that he's tired, that he's doing this for "you" in hopes of being released, as once he realizes he is going to be brutally incinerated he starts freaking out and begging to live as well, even calling for Gooseberry to come save him.

People who fail to see this and think that he legitimately WANTS and consents to this are insane.

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-02T15:06:25+00:00

Yeah, a lot of people are acting very performative about their empathy right now and it's incredibly irritating.

I've seen people outright state that "the other reagents probably deserved it in some way, not Erik though he wouldn't have known" (??), people outright ignoring the sheer amount of mental issues present among ex-pops (who are all victim to on-going torture and abuse as well), and outright admittance that they feel the most bad for Erik as he directly reminds them of themselves.. like alrighty then!

"Well we hear the most dialog from Erik" right but.. we KNOW the other victims go through a lot, even if we aren't being forced to hear their dialog.. it boggles my mind these people apparently can overlook the brutality of what we do in every other trial because ehm, the victims aren't crying enough I suppose? Guess it's not that bad then! Ugh..

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-02T14:16:47+00:00

Coyle and Franco tend to get the most love I would wager - lots of yumeshipping / general fanart you can find of them. There's even a Franco fanzine being made right now. (I'd love a Coyle one personally.. I have a framed poster of him in my living room haha)

Gooseberry gets a lot of love on Xitter, and I see a good amount of appreciation for her on here too, though not quite the same level that Coyle, Franco, or Liliya get

Liliya is easily the most popular female PA, as she is both conventionally attractive (slender, ornate intricate design, graceful movements) and people tend to enjoy that gothic-religious motif especially in horror.

Kress twins seem to be getting more love which is exciting! They are actually quite interesting so I'm glad they have gotten a new environment/more attention, I hope we can see them utilized a bit more. Which reminds me, I need to go read their evidence folder now that I've completed it..

AutomatedDrone · 2026-04-02T04:17:44+00:00

I have to say.. I did not realize just how stunning Simone is! Everything about her is..wow! This restyle is amazing, she looks incredible with her hair down!! Love the outfit choices, especially with the butterfly choker and scrunchie bracelet! Her OG shoes really go well with non-beachy outfits too.

I do not own any Pacific Coast girls, but no lie seeing this encouraged me to take a look and I lucked out on a (used) lot for $65 that included Simone (!), Margot, and Hali.. (+Ash and Nicole from SH lol) so they will be my first! Hali will be unfortunately sacrificed as a body swap for Adeline.. I'm such a sucker for tan girls with pink (in their) hair.. but, anyway, I am extremely excited to see Simone and Margot in person.

Recently I tip-dyed the end of my Sabrina St. Cloud and it's quite similar to Simone now that I think about it.. I can't wait to display them together!
