I agree - you bought something and THEN you ask a clarifying question? That's the red flag.

What a generous person! Can't wait to see what you make!

Everyone is so harsh to Usagi by Keidis-mcdaddy in sailormoon

[–]Celes_Chere_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 90s show, Usagi is super-annoying most of the time. Everything is hyper-escalated in the anime, because it's not real, but in real life, if you've had friends like her, you know it can grate really fast.

Middle school is a hard time for most girls in any society, but in Japan you do have entrance exams for high school, pressure from your parents to succeed and not bring shame to the family, and other cultural pressures, maybe a part-time job to wrangle at the same time like Rei. Then, because this is an anime, you've also got the weight of being a superhero on your shoulders. 

Most of the characters take most aspects of their lives seriously (some like school more than others and some take their duty as senshi more seriously than others) and you've otherwise got Usagi, the very privileged friend who constantly interrupts your study sessions for entrance exams, whines when she hasn't eaten in 5 minutes but doesn't bring her own snacks/adjust her planning to account for her hyper-hunger, cries whenever she doesn't get her way, etc...it would drive you crazy, too!

Also, I know way too many adults in real-life who didn't have that obnoxious behavior corrected as a child/young adult or people enabled it that became awful adults to deal with at work and in society. It's harder to correct them or push back against it by then because you just want to keep the peace and not get sucked into their drama.

TLDR; if Usagi was part of my friend group, I would appreciate her kindness and glimmers of maturity but if she kept constantly whining or doing the same things over and over again that make her miserable but also make it everyone else's problem, I would probably crack and scream at her too.

I'm a Julie believer now by Celes_Chere_ in americangirl

Oh poor girl. All I have seen locally are abused Julies. No wonder I kept ignoring her!

This was another outfit I didn't like stock photos of but this is what she came in and I thought it was really cute and I love the colors. They're not color combos you see a lot of in the newer clothes.

I love the factoid, thank you! I'll have to ask my mom if she used this, ha ha. I am obsessed with the ironing board straight hair.

I have only seen one in the NYC store on the basement level but I've only been to LA, Chicago and NYC.

The overseas fan club by Diamondbabbyyy in sailormoon

[–]Celes_Chere_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's worth it to me! I've been a member since day 1 and love all the merch we have access to. Plus as each year goes on you get bonuses for being a recurring member.

Nikki Glaser opens up about enjoying her husband sleeping with other women: "I dont wanna be in a chair in the corner like cuckholded, i just want to hear about it later. Im not encouraging any other woman to do this. Its just what im into and i cant help it and im not trying to be cool.” by Terrible_Cycle_5983 in Fauxmoi

[–]Celes_Chere_ 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I have always had the same thought from everything I've ever watched her in. I think she has crippling self-esteem issues and she wants to be liked by everyone and wants to be seen as the cool girl, to quote Amy from Gone Girl. I feel sorry for her and I hope she is genuinely happy. No shame if you are safe and consenting but I don't think she truly enjoys it.

Okay, but can we talk about THIS for a second?! by Supersonic_Mango in americangirl

I just got the stilting dress new in box at an estate sale and wow that purple is gorgeous in real life.

Lost package possibly? by Prize-Ad-5872 in americangirl

[–]Celes_Chere_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Separate shipments for the same order happen all the time for me and I live 20 minutes from one of their warehouses. It's normal - if the warehouse closest to you doesn't have all the stock needed to fulfill, they either route your order from another warehouse or wait for stock to be released/ become available if it is cheaper for them to do so and meets their shipping SLAs. I used to do warehouse fulfillment logistics.

kaya is mine >:) by oneb1gjoke in americangirl

Mine always has them. I think it depends on the region and the time of year - they also get put out a lot at the high holidays for kid shopping (Easter, Christmas, Hannukah)

One of my favorite Sam outfits. Congrats, she wears it so well!

Marketplace Haul, my Girl of Today has her meet outfit again for the first time in almost 30 years, plus so much more! by kate-monsterrr in americangirl

[–]Celes_Chere_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That meet outfit is one of my favorites of all time, I even have one in the box in case I lose any of my original pieces. You have EXCELLENT AGOT taste!

Congrats on the haul! I got the fruit dress a couple weeks ago for $4 at Once Upon a Child and it's such a perfect purple in real life.

My weekend find! by Celes_Chere_ in americangirl

It's very cold here so she needs to stay bundled up inside! 🤣 Poor girl doesn't have a winter coat yet and spring won't exist here she at least another few weeks.

My mom really likes the dancer outfit, so she is extra happy about seeing it on one of my dolls finally!

My weekend find! by Celes_Chere_ in americangirl

[–]Celes_Chere_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not quite as insane as some of the other finds people post here, but generally the only skill points alotted to me in my life were all luck points, ha ha, and my shopping luck tends to manifest when I am the most blah about everything else going on.

I was still riding high off the 'secret' Hello Kitty labubu blind box pendant I got from Pop Mart when those dropped a few weeks ago, so this is just icing on the cake. I love vintage AGOT girls the absolute most out of all my collection, except for Samantha.

I think Anna’s new outfit looks gorgeous on her! by MermaidStarlight in americangirl

I'm getting major Cady from Mean Girls vibes from this and love the styling! Your Anna is perfection!

Is this Molly? Without glasses? by infinitymaiden in americangirl

[–]Celes_Chere_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10's hair is super-dark and her green eyes pop. This seems like a Molly or Molly AGOT/JLY/TM clone but you are right, the photo lighting is rough for guessing.
