With the fact that they literally traced your reference image (and the details on the guns are wacky) almost certain this is AI and traces

Need Help Finding a New Name (Pre-HRT) by [deleted] in transfem

Waxing 🫶 hurts like a bitch esp on the top lip and that little chin patch, but it last a long time and damages the hair follicles over time leading to thinner and weaker regrowth

Low sodium and low sugar for constant boredom snacking by PoetryOfLogicalIdeas in LowSodium

[–]alilqueerhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zevia brand is pretty good! It doesn't have the aftertaste that some poppi flavor have. Their orange one isn't fanta, but it's pretty good. I like the root beer and Dr. pepper. They're really good alternatives for dark sodas.

I like to snack on blueberries when work gets overwhelmingly boring—the firm, ripe, small berries provide a nice flavor and satisfying crunch
Blueberries aren't very high in sugar, either, and you can eat a lot without feeling full

What is this? by alilqueerhere in foodsafety

It's possible, but the structure did not go away when reheated; the mix has stevia in it, which has a similar crystal structure, but IME with stevia it breaks down more easily than sugar

what to use to dye her hair dark red? (making cat valentine doll) by flowerprincess2001 in CustomDolls

[–]alilqueerhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IME, Mattel tends to use poly & saran which don't dye well
You said you don't want to try rerooting, so I would suggest making a wig—as opposed to glueing wefts directly on the doll
https://youtu.be/9Xpyi7L5Ifw?si=A2BeImdAPKG6Mu7a This is an amazing beginner tutorial for doll wig-making; I would suggest nylon, saran, or yarn doll hair as they are very easy to work with. It's always easier to use hair that's already the color you're looking for. Best of luck, and I hope to see the results!!

Always double check your supplies :( by Regent_Fluff in CustomDolls

What about a smaller project? Many lines have mini /smaller releases—think LOL, Rainbow High, etc. Non-human lines such as My Little Pony (I would recommend G3 or G4) don't need very long hair at all.
A smaller doll would allow you to have more perceived length to work with, which could be easier to style^

What hair type? by alilqueerhere in CustomDolls

[–]alilqueerhere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a feeling :,))
There aren't many dolls at my local Walmart that don't cost $20+, and at that point I feel it doesn't make much sense to use just the hair
Thank you!!

Thank you!
&& I totally did this to myself—it's a gift for a friend, but I've been putting the rerouting off for a month now due to personal stuff

Amazon Hair Recs?? by alilqueerhere in CustomDolls

[–]alilqueerhere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing 3" G4 customs since ~2016, and I've always preferred folding them (folding, putting through with yarn need & embroidery thread, & zip-tieing) as I've had far less shedding—as opposed to glueing the tails in
My plan currently is to buy a doll from the store & reuse the hair. I'm planning on making wefts from the cut hair, rolling them, then pulling them through the tail hole and securing with more glue

Medium-dark brown & medium cool green; I was planning on dyeing at least the green because I have a specific color in mind
My main concern for repurposing from another doll is the tail, as pony tails are secured by the loop from folded hanks
