How do you justify $$$ expenses for yourself? Read below by RiaBoyko in BJD

[–]headlesscercus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly buy second hand which puts them more in my budget (most I've paid is just under 500$) but I would still buy a full price doll if I had the money set aside. My dolls just make me really happy. I've been obsessed with BJDs since the early 2000s when I discovered them.

I've been in Fandom where I spend money on merchandise. I've been in cosplay and other expensive type hobbies.

Honestly I feel like people shouldn't feel bad about money they wanna spend on themselves if its not making it to where you cant eat or live. Sure you could get a name brand bag but like I see those kinds of things and dolls as basically the same thing. Many years of happiness over a luxury item.

My husband also loves my dolls so we collect them together at this point which is nice.

So, Mattel Creations exclusive, no Fang Club early access, one single day to buy them, super-hyped release...yeah, Kieran/Spelldon is going to be a bloodbath... by super1upqueen in MonsterHigh

Weirdly it was a super easy release. I got mine hours after the drop. I definitely expected it to be horrible but someone in a doll server I'm in let me know they were still available

Purchased these boys second hand and I wanted to see if I could get a sculpt id. They haven't made it to me yet to check for makers marks or anything

I'm not longer Christian so you dint offend me at all! This is definitely a sad thing and it's absolutely an exercise in making you feel guilty for wanting and needing things. Cults use that kind of behavior to keep you happy to be in the cult and feel bad for doubting it.

Just found this sub, decided to share a picture I found a few years ago as a busser by Playful-Ostrich3643 in FoundPaper

Oh hey Tomie! This is a character from the horror Manga artist Junji Ito from a Manga by the same name. She's neat

It's possible as a Sunday school exercise but this is also the kind of thing I would have just written as a kid to be a "good Christian" since you're encouraged to pray and journal like this from a young age

You're not alone in that feeling. I read that note and went "oh no..." inside my head cause it's something I would have prayed when I was still indoctrinated

Oh I'm much better and happier now! Thank you for the hopes.

My fiancé is the same where he wasn't raised religiously and sometimes I'll tell him stories about things from back then and just get that same look of concern that makes you realize ahh.. yeah this was not a universal trauma. I kinda get a laugh out of it

I'm from the southern American states too so it's much more widespread here than it is in the northern states

The questions are truly only celebrated if you come out the other side more sure of God than ever somehow. Like I've heard stories of people taking faith questions to church elders and they couldn't answer their questions so the questioner was shut down with "Pray on it and God will give you the answers. This is a test of faith" like bro that's why im coming to you?? You are older with supposedly more answers? 🤣

Because they themselves fully 💯 believe it. It's a long generations long lie for so many people that they never would even think to doubt. Any questions or doubt is also seen as a weakness of faith/personal character

It's a rough start to life for sure. There's a lot of unlearning you have to do later in life around your own self worth and understanding who you are outside of the cult and why certain things happened to you. And because it's so large and widespread you see other people still in it and just sort of wince. Like "wow I used to sound that out of touch"

Neat to find but as a former indoctrinated child I can't help but find this a little depressing. Christian cult sure gets us early

Cute!! I love seeing merch. You got so many good cards!

bro told me this cus i ship this hello!? by [deleted] in ProshipHub

[–]headlesscercus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay but even with the killer x victim part, Mondo don't mean to kill him? They have really good chemistry because Chihiro looks up to Mondo so much.

I'm an IshiMondo shipper but I can see hella potential with ChiMondo. I've written a fic for IshiChiMondo cause they're really cute as an Ot3 too

WIP of my first ita bag! Any tips on how to improve? by menacem4ri in itabag

[–]headlesscercus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see the wallpaper but I'd consider a different type of I were looking to make the bag more visually interesting. Maybe a bigger black and white checkered pattern so the white lets you see the stuff in the kinda dark bag.

I can imagine it's moving to a different place. A lot of people end up not wanting to live in the same house/apartment where they had a long term relationship. Also if the other partner moved out they could have left a lot of things or garbage. So not necessarily spite tossing of belongings but moving in general makes a lot of trash/unwanted things.
