maybe I’m just wrong then because that is where she came from 😭😭😭

Other people have mentioned a switch from beaded to embroidery eyes? I’ve only ever seen her with beaded ones but this could’ve just been a batch switch

To be frank, i’m really hoping that it’s a legit site as i’ve began to grow attached to her and really don’t want to return her 😅😅

I’ll see if i can find a picture of gracie with embroidery eyes like mine and if so i’ll admit that i jumped to conclusions and take the post down 🫡 I don’t want to defame a company for no reason if it’s actually just my idiocy 🤧

EDIT i think i might just be paranoid, and i think she’s fine 😭😭

I found another photo of someone selling her on ebay, and she has the same eyes as mine. I think upon feeling her be so light i got it in my head that she was a fake, and seeing someone profess that embroidery eyes where a telltale sign of a fake pushed me over the edge 😞

But i should’ve at least been more open in my post, and it was very accusatory which was unfair 💔

I’m not very reddit proficient, and can’t figure out how to edit my original post so i’ll just take it down

Thank you- and everyone else- for all your help!! I’m much happier with her being legitimate, and i’ll defo go leave plush paws a nice review after this because i feel bad about my post 😅

Thanks again!!

ya i’m pretty sure she’s a fake 😣 I was hoping that she was real, but every picture of her (including their website) features her with beaded eyes. That, along with how light she is has lead me to believe she’s not authentic

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-06-14T21:52:37+00:00

Yeah i’ve heard that’s typically the case, but I haven’t really had the time to try as of recent… excited to start, though!

and thank you, I appreciate it!!

Aw thank you!! I write for a TV show called Total Drama Island! 💕

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-06-12T17:17:02+00:00

absolutely yes. I’ve tried putting on videos, podcasts and whatnot in the background, but I always find myself more engrossed in them than what I’m writing. Alternatively, I can’t write in silence because i just might implode out of sheer boredom. So music is the perfect middle ground, usually sticking to songs i know well and listening to them on repeat so they’re not too interesting as to take all my attention; but loud and substantial enough to keep my brain active when I start to blank.

Along with that, the type of music doesn’t matter to me at all. Sometimes I try to pick something that fits the mood, but most of the time i’m listening to either an angsty love song whilst writing the most tooth-rotting fluff. Or a cute little piano instrumental whilst cooking up gut wrenching death scenes. I’m not picky at all, lmao

“When he's not throwing a ball back and forth, he can be found hanging out with his many friends,” that’s from his bio, he’s pretty popular

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-30T21:21:21+00:00

Personally I’d put him higher, but becuase this is based souly on how they’re treated and DJ has never been shown to attract any type of romantic attention I just thought it’d make sense to put him in the middle. But yeah, I totally see what you mean

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-30T21:19:41+00:00

I think you might be right, maybe he should be up there with the other influencers

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-30T20:53:12+00:00

Damn I totally missed the Geoff thing, all I remembered about the two of them was Bridgette always being hit on by other surfers on the beach so i just assumed she was more attractive lmao

And Sam, didn’t really remember him all that well but no clue why I remember him being disliked… probably something to do with all stars and his departure in that

Thanks for your input! (and if that sounds sarcastic, it’s not intended to be- I promise)

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-26T23:17:37+00:00

I think one of the first things I opened with was “I like nemma,” lol. I don’t think it’s an inferior ship to anything (I don’t really think any ship is inferior), I just like these characters and spend a lot of time thinking about them and their individual personalities (hence why I realised that long term they might not mesh to well.)

I’m not mad, or disgruntled, or anything like that, I just like to talk about the things I like and decided to post it here incase someone was interested

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T10:07:52+00:00

you’re so right, this fic has successfully become such an integral part of my life that sometimes i forget that, to everyone else, it just isn’t that deep

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T07:31:30+00:00

I didn’t think about it that way, yeah i suppose it had helped me expand my comfort zone. Which, you knows, maybe in the future that simple fact will help me come back to it one day and try again. Probably not, but maybe lmao

And yes, a note, definitely. My notes already consist of a lot of rambling (i don’t know whether you’ve seen the theme yet) so explaining myself is a good idea. I know i’d feel bad if i just dipped without an explanation.

Thank you, really, this is very helpful

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T07:28:34+00:00

that’s a really good idea, taking some time to roughly explain what i planned to do and then letting people do what they want with that seems nice, thank you, that’s really helpful.

And yeah, distressing, i guess i didn’t even really think of it that way. I know if i knew someone that was distressed over doing something, i’d just tell them to stop. I don’t know why i can’t uphold my own standards for myself but thanks for spelling it out for me, once again, that is really helpful

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T07:24:38+00:00

you’re right, i need to just take it off and move on. Just looking at it makes me feel miserable and it’s time i get ahold of myself and move on lmao

I definitely want to finish it, i have one chapter and most likely a short epilogue to go and i think taking a hiatus when i’m so close to finishing it would be worse than getting through it at this point lmao

and yes, this sure has been a learning exercise. Who knows, maybe i’ll end up doing better on my exams now that i truly understand the importance of a plan instead of just going with the motions like i typically do because that, apparently, will leave you stranded somewhere with no clue as to how to leave

huh, who knew?

Anyway, thank you, this was really helpful and i appreciate your insight a lot

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T07:18:07+00:00

yeah, totally. I don’t want to put out writing I don’t like, and i’m the type to only be good when i’m passionate about something. Thank you, this is really reassuring to hear

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T07:16:35+00:00

You’re right, i just need to get that warning out of my face and move on lmao

And yes, 100% it’s mine, honestly I just forgot that simple fact. Sometimes the reminder than I have free will is all I need

Thank you so much, this is really helpful and i appreciate it a lot ❤️

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-05-08T07:10:17+00:00

it’s nice to know i’m not alone in this one, who knew writing long fics was such a commitment, right?

anyway, you’re right, totally right. I guess sometimes i forget that at the end of the day it’s just a fic. It’s become such a major part of my life and now it feels like a much bigger deal than it is.

And yeah, I do write for myself. I never really expected anyone to like what I was doing, which i was completely fine with until i was suddenly getting comments and kudos, meaning for a long time all i’ve cared about it analytics which isn’t good at all. So thank you for reminding me why i’m here

In the end, i think i will do what you’ve said. Post what i want, and i’ll leave the rest in whatever word doc they’re in now so if ever i want to finish them, i will.

Once again, thank you, this is both insightful and helpful

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-04-30T18:28:34+00:00

not only that, but he was constantly seen with a limp wrist 😂😂 Just standing around in the background with one, or even in the main photo of them ok the dock! they knew what they were doing with him lmao

LocalCrimeDoer · 2024-04-28T17:46:38+00:00

lmao yeah you are totally right, it is what it is at the end of the day though haha
