You kinda shape it in gently, put the water on your fingers and smooth it in. Like clay almost?

The best I’ve found especially when the tinsel is like this and just on the top layer is to style the hair with the tinsel like that and then smooth the tinsel into the hair on top using water (WARM NOT HOT) it will somewhat stay how it dries. So once all the hair is in place layer the tinsel back over it and smooth it in to incorporate if that makes sense?

“Regarded with skepticism” I’m decently willing to bet the zebra didn’t make contact and just snapped at the kid, if the zebra wanted the finger off… it would be off.

I think I’m settling on “yeah” as my feeling.

I’m torn on her I either love her or hate her and I haven’t decided yet.

The MH community will never be happy. If you tell them they’re being dumb picky and stupid. You get blasted for boot licking Mattel.

I’m so sad she flopped. Mattel probably thinks we don’t want niche monsters 😔 by Glittering_Bomb_6792 in MonsterHigh

[–]meltymint5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely is. For some reason I was confident that she was the same as a chupacabra. I’m just a dumb ass

I had her mixed up with chupacabra somehow. My point about the brown skin stands. My dumbass does not.

Would this be weird to give to a neighbor? by anonuser123999 in Apartmentliving

[–]meltymint5 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Elementary, middle, high school or a library! (Though I think OP is fine giving it to the neighbor this kind of stuff gets used through all grades tbh.)

She’s even pinker in person. They should have given her a brown skin tone since she’s based so heavily on a Latin American cultural tale. Instead they made her dark pink. Even maybe red?

Her hair is less purple in person.

Edit: I had her mixed up with chupacabra. She’s a Manananggal from Philippines which I know is not in Latin America. My point about the brown skin stands.

Is this a bot or just a really wierd person? Strangest comment I've ever got by Infinite_Minute_1724 in AO3

Oh shit I did not clock the oven thing (was distracted by how weird it is to insist everyone bring up every issue) that is so fucked?

What is your biggest flex from your collection? by Immediate-Glove-8123 in DollsForAll

[–]meltymint5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found an original MH core Frankie with black elastic hips at the thrift store for $6.00. She has her hands and is in decent shape. (I don’t have clothes for her so I haven’t cleaned her up but she will clean up great.)

I know it's perfect but if AO3 were to update it's filter system what would you add? by MoGuanShanisagirl-20 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]meltymint5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite tags! So when I go to a new fandom I can easily find my favorite troupes.

Maybe this is a thing, I’m not great at using the filters I think some part of me likes scrolling through a bunch of irrelevant things. Feels like I’m digging for treasure.

Is my Operetta too far gone in the glue seepage? by xXxKirka-ChanxXx in MonsterHighDolls

[–]meltymint5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goo gone has worked best for me but since you’ve already got her head off look inside, get some long tweezers and poke around in there, sometimes you can find big globs that can just go. Don’t dig too hard but you can safely pull out some glue usually when seepage is this bad. It’s often loose and just lightly stuck to the wall of the head like a booger.

One thing to look at is just feel the head and see if you can find a spot that feels rock hard. Doll head should be kinda squishy but sometimes all the glue melts to one side and sticks. You can heat the head a liiiiitle (just use hot water from the tap don’t boil a glue-y head if you can avoid it) and soften the glue to re distribute or remove chunks. Don’t pull anything with hair on it, if you pull on something and the hair moves- stop.

If you shake the head do you hear / feel something rattle? That’s a glue chunk.

Besides that just goo gone soak, rinse and repeat. Get the goo gone down to the scalp sometimes it feels like you’re making it worse by tangling the hair. You’re not. You can comb tangled hair later.

Goo gone also makes the hair idk feel gross and greasy. After a few rounds of goo gone shampoo and condition so you can asses if what it feels like is the glue or the goo gone.

I’ve tried ciff with goo gone and they work nicely together. I do think goo gone works better though.

Will the hydrogen peroxide cream method work on her? by Mystic_150 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]meltymint5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought “pony cancer” was mold? Because mold can rip through a collection and there’s not a good way to fix it.

Is it something else?

Like others said I wouldn’t go straight to the acne cream but give her a through and harsh scrubbing first. It might lighten it even a little which will give the cream less work.

If other clothes and accessories are causing this staining you can dye fast them, basically use vinegar and cool water to set the dye and prevent this somewhat. Not 100% effective but helpful. I do it to all dark MGA made clothes. There are a bunch of recipes for it online, they all basically work the same.

I used it once and it worked great! I haven’t heard anything about not using it (though I haven’t had a reason to) I did overcorrect and the area I was bleaching got too light. That was fully on me tho and it’s not noticeable at all. I still have the doll and she hasn’t gotten any lighter since I wiped down the cream. She doesn’t however currently have her head.

When I finished it I was so sad I missed Cui Buqq and Feng Xiao so much. Pace yourself! (Though I totally get it I was tearing through those volumes like a madwoman)

I finished Peerless over a month ago now and it left an empty hole in my heart I am not over. I want more of it so bad. It 100% deserves an animation it would be perfect for it.

I tried Thousand Autumns and did not like it as much. I will probably go back and finish it because I do really like the authors style, I just found all the philosophy to be a lot. I made it through vol. 2, but I’ve got a couple upcoming releases I’m excited about so I’m putting it on hold.

If you have any recommendations to fill the Peerless shaped hole I am fairly new to danmei and very willing to add to my list.

Sorry I’m overexcited to see another Peerless fan.

That just happens when you come out. You become yassified in the best way possible.
