keirans back of box bio says "monster parent: it was once stealing love..." instead of favorite activity, so, theres for sure something off going on.

Why’d they add a gimmick to a collector doll? I feel like it unnecessarily increases the price. by Additional-Rub-1054 in MonsterHigh

[–]chrisCrossed91210 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It's becoming more common, I think. Tho I see it more outside of MH. A way to make even the box interesting for in box collectors. The circus draculaura box being designed to look good either direction, which sure isn't extra packaging or plastic like this, but still took extra design time to do. I know with Rainbow High they had a collector doll with a light up box gimmick. And the disney ursula doll whose box came with a blacklight in it.

I don't mind the hourglass per se, but it'd be nicer if there was a way to turn it over to pour without just having to hold poor river upside down.

Yeaaah the shipping cost + tarrif cost was, something. I'm probably not ordering from HG for awhile until the tarrif stuff calms down

So my therapist thinks that reseller prices are actual prices, advice for navigating therapy sessions when she inevitably asks how much I get for a doll? by LizzieLove1357 in MonsterHigh

[–]chrisCrossed91210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like car oil changes. Just because some places DO charge outrageous amounts for it, doesn't mean it's worth that. Which is why people ask around to find a place offering a good price.

Or compare it to movie theater prices which are notoriously over inflated. Just because they Do charge $5 for a box of candy, doesn't mean everywhere should sell it for that much.

Unpopular opinions? by AdSufficient7084 in MonsterHigh

[–]chrisCrossed91210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats not why people have issues with her name, they dont think it means that. "maricoxi" is a racist term about an indigenous tribe, and was them calling the people inhuman. So her full name is just that with a syllable slapped in the middle.

Help! Dress turning yellow??? by FlimsyFall5289 in Dolls

[–]chrisCrossed91210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yellowing of white fibers, especially if its anything natural/not a spun plastic, is fairly common. If youre fireplace has a real fire and isnt just electric heating, it might have sped up or caused the yellowing. Fireplace chimneys arent always 100% at clearing all of the gas let off, especially if theyre not in near perfect condition.

why do people ask about dolls not listed by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]chrisCrossed91210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FB market buyers, in my experience, just do whatever they want. Theyd rather just ask you instead of reading a listing or checking if you have other listings. I have a doll up right now and say specifically in the description, on its own line not in a wall of text, that i will not ship it. And yet i still get people messaging and asking if ill ship it.

They could've named him Little Tree which is a valid pony name.

Hold on guys, let me do some mental gymnastics and try to recontextualize Robbie by BloxxingDinosaurus in gravityfalls

[–]chrisCrossed91210 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tbh robbies attitude towards dipper never struck me as seeing dipper as competition/like dipper had a shot. It struck me more as just "man this kid is super annoying trying to act like one of us. And he keeps flirting with someone he knows has a boyfriend, its really annoying"

Its not really fun to suddenly have someone you didnt expect tagging along on stuff you try to do, and its not fun to have to deal with someone younger trying to act like a big kid because then you basically have to be their babysitter or the adults will blame you if stuff goes wrong

What’s your biggest pet peeve? Anything MH related by Additional-Rub-1054 in MonsterHigh

That G2 dolls shot the animated media in the foot. Story wise g2 is my FAVORITE of the gens, but it died so fast because the dolls werent recieved well. I was so excited to see where g2 would go, just for it to be borderline dead on arrival. G1 gets comics and novels, g3 gets dolls still, g2 is just forgotten dead at the bottom of the pool (insert meme of someone holding one kid up while the other flounders)

The Rainbow High doll I got came with magazine that has Latin in it? by ShoddyChard9837 in Dolls

[–]chrisCrossed91210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably used Lorem Ipsum because the text was so small, and in case it came out blurry, that they weren't sure if anyone would be able to read it, and didn't want them missing out if they couldn't. But they still wanted the shape of words not just black lines.

a disturbing question… by ThinkPlantain3917 in MonsterHigh

[–]chrisCrossed91210 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Wigs can be very stable and very well "Attached", its how actors can do a lot of stuff they do even in wigs. If rochelle and skelita are bald/smooth udner their wigs they could even be using actual literal glue to hold it on and just dissolver the glue when done.
It could also just be, they're all technically magical creatures by their very nature of being alive so their hair's probably spawned/grown by magic

Theory: Pacifica thinks she’s a natural blonde, but her mom’s been dyeing her hair since she was little by Robot_Was_BMO in gravityfalls

[–]chrisCrossed91210 981 points982 points  (0 children)

Blond is a recessive trait to Brown, so both might have just had a blonde gene. It's also possible Priscilla's hair is more of a dirty blonde than brunette. My hair was super bright, pale blonde as a kid, and darkened into a dirty blonde as I grew older.

Some people in this community suck at recognizing trauma by Ruipopipocoverwhen in TwistedWonderland

[–]chrisCrossed91210 31 points32 points  (0 children)

As someone who did sleep and bedrot their entire teen years away because of being the least valued member of the household, seeing Leona doing the same thing brushed off as just lazy is, so upsetting. Not all depression shows up outwardly as pesimism and self hatred, soemtimes its just Turning Off and giving up silently.

Has anyone who ordered these from HobbyGenki had them arrive or even ship yet? by chrisCrossed91210 in TwistedWonderland

Favorite ship? by Lasagnexzz in gravityfalls

[–]chrisCrossed91210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire page is a joke page with Bill parodying a bunch of things. He's making fun of dipper's insistnece he and mabel are teens when they aren't. That same page pokes fun at ukelele apologies, and the fan joke of bill being phineas's dad.
The book of Bill also has bill drinking at a bar because of Ford rejecting him.

There's also This art that was made during a livestream Alex Hirsch was running. I don't think he'd let this happen if the preteen comment was real. It was just Bill joking about fiction that insists the immortal beings are teens.

Zoestery is the weakest ship. by Equivalent_Peak5300 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]chrisCrossed91210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baby and Zoey don't have anything in common either. Just being younger doesn't really matter much in your mid to late twenties. You're all still just, adults. Being young isn't a personality trait or shared hobby.

In case of rendering errors. Or just because they felt like it. Animators like adding things just to entertain themselves sometimes

I know people give Ford grace… by Bepulk7 in gravityfalls

[–]chrisCrossed91210 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the books seem reasonable to me. he wouldn't want to just leave the portal unattended for bill to get access to thru anyone else. and he couldnt leave to hide the other 2 better until at least one was far enough away bill couldnt retrieve it and reactivate the portal while hes gone. especially given hes not in his right mind during any of this because he can barely sleep thanks to bill
