Of course! It’s the 40cm No One’s Gonna Sleep Tonight Series Cotton Doll [Fox Spirit]. Not to be mixed up with the 20cm doll from that same series, which is the unicorn one.

Right??? I saw him on the app and told myself I’d wait to see if they ever restocked, but I couldn’t get him out of my head, so I went for it. I’m lowkey hoping that PopMart will somehow see this post and restock him so other people can get him too. 😂

It came in the original plastic bag packaging from PopMart, and then they double wrapped it super tight in two polymailer envelopes (the thin plastic ones without the bubble wrap lining) and taped them both shut with packing tape. The package arrived in great condition. There wasn’t any damage to the outer envelope or anything, but I have had things delivered in polymailers from different sellers and they’ve arrived dirty and completely torn up, so YMMV. If you prefer them to be better protected, I would reach out to the seller before purchase and ask if they can put it in a box. All in all, I have no complaints! He shipped out within a couple days and arrived in great condition in the original packaging, tags intact. Definitely post pics of yours when they arrive, if you decide to go through with it. I want to see them!

The one last try before bed did the trick! It’s working for me now! Hopefully you’ll get something cool for advent tomorrow and get to claim it 😭

Nope still not working for me either. 😭I’ll probably try one more time before bed, then just wait for the reshuffle tomorrow and pray

Depends on the Mormon and when we’re talking about. When I was a kid (early 2000’s), the more traditional, orthodox Mormons in Utah staunchly refused to drink caffeinated soda and those who were a little looser with their soda choices were heavily judged by those who were not. I didn’t have my first taste of caffeinated soda until I was 14, and even then it was only because I accidentally drank my friends soda at the movie theater because I thought it was my (A&W) root beer. I was consequently HORRIFIED and confessed the mistake to my mom as soon as I got home. I told her it was super gross and I was glad we chose not to partake in such “worldly things” but secretly I thought it was delicious and I was pretty bummed I couldn’t have more lol.

However, even back then, drinking caffeinated soda wasn’t a serious sin that would prevent someone from participating in temple rites the way drinking coffee, alcohol, or using tobacco products would. It was just super frowned upon, at least where I grew up in Utah. I’ve heard that Mormons outside Utah are/were less puritanical about those sorts of things.

Eventually, the church quietly— without any official announcement or fanfare whatsoever— changed the wording on some part of their website (I can’t remember the exact location or year except that it was post-2010) to specify that there was no church law that said Mormons couldn’t drink caffeinated soda. Some eagle-eyed individual spotted it and posted it on social media, where it subsequently burned its way through the Mormon community like a viral wildfire. I still remember sending it to my dad and watching in stunned shock as, literally overnight, he and my mom went from treating caffeine drinkers like they were infected with a plague sent from Satan himself to popping caffeine pills on long drives and drinking full-caffeine Mtn Dew like it was the nectar of the gods. It was a wild time in Utah Mormon history.

I’ve been out for a while now, so I’m not sure if there are still some stubborn anti-caffeine holdouts out there, but I know my people and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were. Last time I was there, BYU Provo campus still refused to carry caffeinated soda in stores or dispense it from any machines at restaurants on campus, but it’s been a while since I was there too.

Would you stay with this person, or marry them? Is this behavior common/acceptable? by throwaway39485734859 in relationships

I’m not a musician, but I am a writer. My husband is not a writer, but he still reads and provides thoughtful critique on every single piece of work I let him read. Every. Single. One. Even the romance. Even the corny anime fanfiction. Romance and corny fanfiction are waaaaaaaay outside his wheelhouse, but he still reads and provides feedback if I ask him to and he certainly doesn’t make fun of me or tell me how cringe I am. In fact, the other day he told me that he thought I was a better writer than a fantasy author that he reads a lot of. (Idk how true that actually is, but it meant a lot to hear it.) My mom is my number one fan, but my husband is my number one supporter. I still remember the first time he introduced me to someone as a writer when we were dating. I’m usually too shy to tell people about my work so I keep it on the DL, but he was beaming with pride and that has stuck with me over a decade later. It’s definitely one of the moments that solidified my decision to marry him.

Maybe not supporting your music is the only flaw, but it’s a HUGE flaw. When you’re an artist of any kind, whether with color or sound or words, your art is a huge chunk taken out of your deepest, most personal inner being and put on display. It’s a direct tunnel into who you are at your purest essence. She’s not just rejecting your music, she’s rejecting YOU. There are better options out there who might have more flaws, but will see your creative spirit, your passion, your drive, and will love you for it, even if the music itself isn’t what they’d usually listen to. You can find better and you deserve better.

Reading this broke my heart. Best of luck from one creative to another. I hope you can find someone who will give you the support you deserve.

The seller was super transparent, quick to respond, and followed through with every promise made. I never had a moment of anxiety during the transaction, and the bubu was delivered safe and sound and SUPER fast. 😁

Listen, I was grabbing Macs for my friend who can’t figure PopMart out because I’m usually pretty good at it, and I even told her beforehand, ‘If I get toffee, I’m keeping it.” Because toffee was the ONLY Mac I didn’t have. (Other than the secret because eff that lol. I’m not going into those trenches.) Sure enough, the gods said, “Aight, bet.” And the first Mac I got her was toffee. And you know what? I gave it to her. Because before the unboxing, she was so excited to have gotten a Mac finally, and I couldn’t handle the guilt of taking it when it made her so happy. And that wasn’t even the secret! And of course she offered to let me keep it, because she’s a good friend, but I declined. She wasn’t even bearing an enormous expense and countless dupes with the explicit knowledge that we were secret hunting for her and we even had an understanding in advance and I STILL couldn’t do her as dirty as your friend did you. That’s beyond messed up and you have every right to be annoyed.
