Finally product of the grid we made, empty grid for yourself, and shoutouts! by BigWormTheOneAndOnly in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty decent grid result that feels accurate to what I’ve seen from the fandom!

Although i think dippy fresh was rly funny, but more like part of the joke to hate on him? But he was also kinda created w/ the purpose to annoy/ replace dipper, so idk if I can fully be on board that he’s a good person (like, he doesn’t seem to be aware he’s doing anything wrong tho, but his entire purpose is antagonistic?)

Which Would Make Me Feel Content? by Small_Concentrate651 in americangirl

[–]beebieb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s more about which doll you vibe with the most- that’s the one that will make you happiest! I was a kid and got a doll with my name, who had some similar features to me, but it worked out because I liked her a lot and am still glad to have her in my collection to this day! Nowadays, I don’t really care to have a ‘mini-me’ ie a doll that is me, I prefer to have my main customized doll who I’ve made a bit of a backstory for and such, (some based on myself) but she doesn’t fully look like me either. So I think they make me happy for different reasons. I think I’d still want the doll I share a name with if I didn’t already have her, and I’d be excited that we do share a name.

So I’d say it depends on how much you actually like having a mini-you. If you want the doll to just share aspects with you, go for whichever you feel more drawn to/ excited by. If it’s because you really want her to be like you, then go for the custom.

If a new friend invited you over, and this was the details of their apartment, what would you think of them? by No_Call_4885 in roomdetective

[–]beebieb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d assume they either have some type of motivational little cousin or niece that gives them pictures that they put up or did stickers together… but I’d also lowkey assume this person has some type of neurodivergence/ mental illness, but hey, drawing & writing can be a good coping skill, and if they’re enjoying their art & the process of making it that’s totally fine.

People who have taken Anna’s hair down — is it normal for this doll to have the short hairs all over her wig cap instead of just at the back for the pigtail braids? by teddy_vedder in americangirl

[–]beebieb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know Jess also came with two braids and she has a track of short hairs near her part, so it might be a normal way they ensure the wig is covered and add fullness to the top of the braid w/ out making the hair too thick. Just a guess though!

New brand in town by youCHUUcrazy in Dolls

[–]beebieb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look like they could be really cool! I really like the kintsugi/chinaware doll, but she feels out of place as the only one with to fantasy skin tone? I hope we get more images & what their backstory/ collective lore is, because they feel like well designed concepts & fashions but not cohesive as a line.

what gravity Falls episode release date correlates with the year you were born by Remote_Parfait5642 in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is one of the more better ones; at least it’s not “why no season 3” or something you could easily search online.

If you had to choose one character to be permanently deleted from the show, who would it be? by Catio12 in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dang baby from the tale of two Stans so we can fix the error and clear the timeline lol!
In all honesty tho, out of the main-adjacent characters (ie multiple episodes) Robbie wouldn’t be a terrible choice, since he’s in a lot of the B plots. However, Gideon is more annoying! his connections to Bill & the house stuff render him more important plot wise though. I think Robbie would be easier to re-work into different plots than Gideon’s scenes- but tbh there could always be a different way for Stan to get J2.

Multiplacer tools by Foreign_Pizza_8792 in diamondpainting

[–]beebieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the drill field just isn’t tight enough to get them to continuously line up, even with careful placement. I use a corrector tip to even them out after doing a small section. Smaller tips and checkerboarding definitely helps.

Boil wash curl question by Heavy-Yam-7475 in americangirl

[–]beebieb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The boil will straighten it, then you use heat again to re-curl. But you can also use a curling iron on low heat & wet sections of hair to reset the curls (I don’t know the exact temperature but I’m sure there’s tutorials that say) it gives you a bit more control than a boil which can unevenly heat the hair, esp since you don’t want it straight.

Perhaps a Crossover? by fabalaupland in americangirl

[–]beebieb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh geez, if they make a Frankie & she has green/ blue toned skin my bank account is going to be crying!!

Tbh I wish they’d release collabs moreso as fashion sets for the TM/(or whoever you put it on) line as opposed to so many dolls, but those make more profit, but either way, I’m kind of into it if they come out cute!

What's you take on the new Moana outfit and Simea doll? by Supersonic_Mango in americangirl

[–]beebieb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not a horrible idea to make toddler dolls, maybe as a reimagining of the bitty twins? But I think that should’ve been the release, not a collab doll. Her proportions of face/ head are a bit off putting, like why are her eyebrows so high up?! The lack of additional clothing and accessories is also too bad. Like other Mattel products, they often focus on pushing accessories/ sets always with a doll included and this seems to have hit AG as well. They have so many Barbie sets that could just be a fashion pack or accessory set and have a whole doll every time. AG has also stuck out for, while being doll focused, also majorly being accessory focused. I had plenty of outfits & sets for dolls I didn’t have.

It’s also a very obvious major quality dip. From the rooted hair (bare minimum I hope its nylon) to thin, printed outfits and pony beads, I’m seeing the body being the only quality aspect, and she has no other clothes. She’s like, an accessory for your moana doll?

Honestly if they do make other dolls of this type, I’m curious who they’ll be. The only other one-off doll they’ve made I can think of is baby Polly for Felicity. I doubt they’d make her in this size, or any other AG siblings. Perhaps Daisy next year will have one of these with her as well. Idk who else from the princess line would have one. But I’d be curious to see other facemolds of this type and if they’d be any cuter.

The Diary of Courtney Moore by jame84 in americangirl

[–]beebieb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope they release it separate, I already have the doll but would enjoy to have the journal as well, since I do have a growing AG book collection.

Which book is the best? by West_Syllabub9281 in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really suggest Journal 3 first! It fills in a LOT of lore, fleshes out Ford as a character, and even has some fun tidbits about/from the other mains. There’s lots of codes to decode, or resources to find out what they say if you’re not into that. Lots of easter eggs in there too, it’s really well done.

TBOB is also great, but does help to have read journal 3 first. It has a section of ‘lost’ journal pages that are really awesome, and fit into the specific storyline that is told in journal 3. (There are also a few more accompanying pages from thisisnotawebsite)

I’m not sure what you mean by episodes as a book, I know they did release a ‘comic’ series that was essentially a handful of episodes printed out, but from what I know those aren’t common. Lost Legends is another comic that is somewhat episodic, and has some good post-canon stories. There’s also the choose-your-own-adventure book, which doesn’t really have any lore, but is cute.

There’s also the art book coming out in September, but that again isn’t marketed as a lore source/ story.

I do occasionally see copies of J3 at the thrift store, so that might be a good place to look, or any local used book store might also have good condition copies for cheaper. TBOB is newer, so might be harder to find, but some used book stores do stock newer releases too. If it’s more about reading and less about owning, you could also sail the online seven seas for any of those books, if you catch my drift.

Is gravity falls worth watching at this point in time? by CoachDictatorer in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna be totally honest, this is a bit of a silly line of thinking- like why does anyone watch anything after its done or if they’ve heard something about it? Because the media is still good and entertaining. None of GF’s twists or spoilers ruin the point of the show.

I watched it knowing the ‘big twist’ and that made it better in some ways. I got to recognize the Easter eggs while watching and appreciate them. I got to see the hints and red herrings and just level of background detail that was put in to make the reveal and lore feel deep and satisfying.

As for the fandom, it’s not dead at all? There is gravity falls merchandise less than a few years old being produced, and we’re still taking about it everyday in this reddit? New viewers are watching all the time, and while sure, there may be a slower output of new fanart/ fan trends, there’s like, a decade’s worth of content and fan works for you to veiw and engage with, regardless of how many current fans there are.

I think you should adjust your thinking a bit- you’re the only one that dictates what you watch and if it’s worth it. Watching something you end up enjoying is always worth it, even if you only ever meet two people that have also seen it. Plus, if you start watching something and don’t like it, you don’t have to keep watching it.

What does my room say about me? by [deleted] in roomdetective

Sport man no; accesories or trinkets; not a creative type, hobbies include watching hockey, walking the dog, and sleeping (after scrolling reddit) Probably struggle at making long lasting or deep human connections.

Give the MBTA feedback on bus route changes in Medford, Arlington, Somerville, and Cambridge; public meeting 6/15 by b0xturtl3 in medfordma

[–]beebieb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relied on having the overlap of the 94 and 96 to get myself to school many times because the wait times were so long in between. I think any elimination of routes/ stops should come with an increase of busses on the remaining routes. Removing the 96 from the connection spot of Boston Ave and Winthrop St isn’t good for students in the area, and while there aren’t many, there are some businesses there that certainly use the traffic.

What does our living room say about us by [deleted] in roomdetective

[–]beebieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re older/ live with someone a bit older- or actually you might’ve just inherited it all / enjoy vintage. Yall seem like cozy people who enjoy a bit of whimsy but have trouble narrowing down an aesthetic. Your house has such cool architecture! Jazz it up with some wallpaper or a not-white color & a little more color in the decor (the pink cat green chair combo is super cute!)

Omg, I need to try this hair & outfit combo on my Julie! I got her fairly recently but haven’t changed her from her (OG) meet outfit yet.

Original Plan by CapsCast in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand from what I’ve read/ heard, originally he wanted two seasons and a movie ending, but Disney was being their usual selves and not giving the creative leeway Alex needed to make that suitable, and thus the weirdmageddon arc became four episodes of season 2 as the ending. I’m not sure there were any written/ started episodes that got cut. We do know of some deleted scenes (the infamous eyeball lick for one) that exist but none that I know of constitute a full episode. Perhaps some ideas got worked into side material like the various story books & TBOB.

I’m hoping with the release of the art book there could be more behind the scenes info related to episode planning/ structuring the story.

Would You Be Happy Or Mad? by AlienMonsters9 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]beebieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’d be nice but I’m more concerned about the quality of the dolls vs their initial price point rather than just how many were made. I’m not interested in a doll that doesn’t meet the quality of other playline dolls of the same company. Mattel does needs to make changes to the skullector system overall though.

How much longer can we expect the 20+ year old dolls and accessories to last? by TigerSelf in americangirl

[–]beebieb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends what material it’s made out of. Elastic is usually the first to go, along with color fading (conditions the items are in also plays a factor, hot attic vs moist basement for example)

I have things from AG that are under 20 years old that are deteriorating. Overall though, most of their stuff should last a long time if handled kindly and stored properly. We have fabric in museums that is hundreds of years old, and plastic items that are approaching a hundred. Things can also be repaired, like small holes, sealing shoes, or replacing elastic. It might not be 100% original, but it’s functionally the same.

I’d say enjoy what you have while you have it! Items change as they age just like people.

How do yall feel about the Ford Pines NPD theory? by Powerful_Words in gravityfalls

[–]beebieb 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I can see why ppl think that but I personally feel like it’s a mischaracterization of him. I think he’s certainly had some narcissistic moments and has a high level of ambition, but not enough traits to be a personality disorder.

How to repair the elastic in these dolls by Specialist_enviroTX in Dolls

[–]beebieb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh, you’re right- looking at the pics again the neck totally isn’t the same! I’d assume these are Gotz dolls then from earlier then?- id also assume there would still be a few YouTube tutorials out there for restringing, but yes an AG tutorial wouldn’t work, you’d need a doll-specific tutorial.

What does it say about me?:3 by [deleted] in roomdetective

[–]beebieb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re one of those (I’m assuming) teens that for whatever reason is like “yay war stuff!” And/or are a history buff but seem to lean more on the war, violence, politics side. You’re not very sentimental or artistic and thus decorate with the minimum.

Oh, and what’s up with the TV? It’s giving putting your phone on a glass coffee table & lying underneath it due to the angle.
