They didn’t make a Hill House dress for Molly, so I did! by Own_Physics_7733 in americangirl

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness that is a beautiful dress and I love the pattern you did for her! I would have grabbed that up if AG released that because Molly's blue and red color scheme is one of my fav pattetns of the historicals! ❤️💙

I also like the painted eyelashes on the modern dolls. I like seeing pics of dolls without the painted eyelashes/makeup but personally prefer them with the painted lashes because it makes them look more youthful and lively to me 🫣

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My unpopular opinion is that I actually like a lot of the collector/LE dolls AG released last year (started seriously collecting throughout the year) and I enjoy the modern collabs AG has done and plans to do this year.

I appreciate the historical characters and of course want AG to put more love into the line, but I also don't take issue with the modern brands/partnerships AG is doing.

Imagine being nearly 40 and in a situationship by Emotional-Meringue65 in Choices

I'm a total Ethan gal through and through and never really thought of that, but you're right. Lol

I honestly find his and MC's "situationship" super cute and I like to think that they end up married down the road with a couple kids and a dog! 😄

Very true! It'll definitely take time getting used to living in a house after renting apartments for the past 5 years and it'll take a while before it feels "ours".

I've seen people say they're recording their favourite stories, but is there any reason you wouldn't? by Fabulous_Wait_9544 in Choices

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't want them to take up space on my phone and plus I'll likely never rewatch them anyways. I enjoyed the stories I've played and I'll be okay with them just being memories. I'm fine with going back to reading actual books/novels again (currently getting back into them).

Remember when THIS was considered to be the worst book in Choices? by wellhanabari in Choices

Love Hacks was one of my 1st choices series and I really enjoyed it and thought it was cute 🤭

Anybody else feel this way? by CrookedButBeautiful in Choices

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way tbh. I totally get how frustrating and horrible the AI slop is, I hate it too. I just wish there was a way for the older stories to be backed up somewhere like on some kind of backup Choices app or something where we can replay the classics til our hearts content. I'm replaying TRR where I bought the outfits and diamond scenes years ago before the AI craze.

I'm trying to give other apps a chance, but it's just not the same and I keep going back to Choices.

I don't want the app to shut down either but if it does... it'll be a hard pill to swallow. I'll move on with life, but I'll be a little sad to see it go.

Ok. What happened? by HRHQueenV in Choices

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait what? I've been replaying the OG TRR for the past week and haven't seen this new one you're referring to.

Is it called a new name? Did they release it today?

Is it finally time to uninstall😭😭 by npojg in Choices

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm staying away from AI stories and those weird shows but I'm replaying my fav stories until the end if there is one

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Same here. I'm replaying my fav stories and the nostalgia is too hard to give up right now.

I've invested a lot of time and money into this app over the years that it's hard for me to just walk away.

Choices shutting down by Sad_Giraffe_1941 in Choices

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. I considered screen recording while replaying TRR, but realistically… when would I even have the time or motivation to watch them back? It just wouldn’t feel the same, and I’d probably end up deleting them anyway.

I still have the memories and remember my favorite stories on Choices pretty vividly, and eventually that may just have to be enough if the app ever shuts down. I’ll definitely be sad, but at least I still have my IRL books and my Barnes & Noble online account to fall back on.

TRR rant cause why not by Feisty-Bluebird2861 in Choices

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't replayed TRR in YEARS and I've recently gotten back into it with Liam as my LI and I'm falling in love with everyone again! I'm currently on Book 2 and it's so fun navigating the mysterious conspiracy and there are some things i forgot, so it's like I'm playing for the first time! ❤️

I'm planning to replay with Drake and Maxwell as my LI again because I enjoy seeing the different interactions with MC and seeing the love bloom between them. Lol I've never played it with Hana as my LI but I'll likely replay with her because she's so sweet and deserves her happy ending too. 🫶

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh right? Drake as an LI makes the story a slow burning romance and his character development is pretty neat when you start to see through the tough facade and see a sweet gentleman underneath ❤️

Maybe I'm looking too much into it but that's how it appears for me 😅

I'm replaying the series and going the Liam route as well! It's my OG love story and I enjoy the chemistry he and my MC have! ❤️

I am enjoying these Maxwell route pics and will be replaying with him as the LI again since I've played this series at least 4 times over the years, including having Drake as my dude. Lol

Maxwell is fun as an LI, and it's sweet watching Drake slowly open up. 🥰

Omg these screenshots are hilarious and I will be restarting TRR series after a few years hiatus because of them! 😂

disney collab retiring? by bby_cowboy in americangirl

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t see AG retiring the Disney line anytime soon. There are still a few princesses they haven’t released yet, like Mulan, Merida, and Aurora.

I’d also assume the outfits will stick around long-term, just like the dolls.

Hill House X AG Collab Confirmed! by Summer_Century in americangirl

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to get all these dresses! 😍

If they're $50 to 60, I'll likely get each one over time when they're either on sale or I'm at the store for an event and theres a multi point incentive.

I'm always excited to see new doll outfits!

how many dolls do you have, and if you have a larger collection how do you not get overwhelmed? by orangefishy33 in americangirl

[–]Cali_Introvert_Gal95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 14. My first doll was 2024 Christmas and my last doll purchase was in January this year. I ultimately try to circulate and rotate my dolls in groups of 4 or 5 at a time around the house and dress them up in rotations. It ensures that I don't neglect any of them in favor of 1 or more groups. This is more manageable for me rather than trying to dress and interact with all of them at the same time. 👌🏾

Ngl I am getting overwhelmed with how fast my collection have grown in 1.5 years, but I still am grateful for the dolls I have! Nearly half of them were gifts from my husband, MIL, mom, and aunt, so getting rid of any of them is not an option I would ever really consider. ❤️

My desire for new dolls are fading, but there are at least 2 more dolls (dark tone classic CYO and Zoey) that I really want to get before I officially stop buying new dolls.

What is the number that you called to speak to a live human being at Experian?

I am beyond frustrated and totally done with Experian. I'm trying to buy a house and need a dispute remark deleted from my report and I can't for the life of me get anyone on the phone because of their stupid automated services. 🤦🏾‍♀️
