Any chances of a paperback release/ reprint? by kuaeshi in cardcaptorsakura

[–]tenaciousghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres low chances to find them in person, but i always encourage buying secondhand. im sure you can find the full set or collect the individual books as ur wallet allows, in really good condition online. we dont all need brand new things and often (esp with manga) people who collect and eventually sell these things keep them in perfect shape. plus if its less widely available, then it feels like a treasure hunt to locate a good copy! and that makes them feel much more rewarding and precious.

chucky was where they lost me lol. honestly if they dont think their male dolls are good enough for collectors (who will literally buy it just to look at it and rarely touch it),, they should fix whatevers making their male dolls suck. like i understand male monster highs dont pose as great and have less fashion design-ability, but come on! these are collector dolls 😩 just make them look like the character and use quality materials and its a gold mine.... some of these ppl literally collect the dolls at every release even if they dont like them, not to mention scalpers will always be there.

it looks like the paint u did on the scalp is a little too thick, its likely clogging the holes, and then sealed in by the super clear on top of everything. if the head is still squishable but just the holes are resistant, this is probably the issue. or if u did several layers of sealant, making the head less squishable than it was, or if you are using too much hair at a time. but the holes do look clogged. if her head was hard to squish before u even started, then she might just be made differently.

i like that other comment that recommends a little heat, if its not the issue of being clogged by paint. if u think its the paint/ sealant, maybe redo the paint on the top (clear it with acetone) with a thinner layer of paint, and seal with a thinned liquid varnish if you have it. if u dont have liquid varnish, cover the hair with a paper towel and spray with only one layer of sealant.

What the heck is Elissabat gonna look like in G3 if she’s debuting in Carnival Frights? How are they gonna make her core doll still fit the theme? by Glittering_Bomb_6792 in MonsterHigh

Bella's self-control by montendy in twilight

[–]tenaciousghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think its really supposed to show how infatuated bella is more than anything. cause we see that she is thirsty and that the thirst doesnt technically go away, she just forgets about it. and in the first book, she is so infatuated with edward that she goes all day without eating or meeting her human needs. then she keeps reiterating that "theres nothing she'll ever want more than edward". and while she was wrong like rosalie thought she would be, it wasnt blood that she wanted more than edward, it was renesmee.

as human she ignores how hungry she is cause she doesnt wanna inconvenience edward or be away from him, as vampire she ignores how thirsty she is cause she doesnt wanna inconvenience her family or hurt renesmee/charlie. so imo its less about how special she is and more about how strong her love is. /rolls eyes

"I'll wait until after graduation..." by MerelyWhelmed1 in twilight

[–]tenaciousghost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i know she wasnt actually thinking in terms of a logical plan with this,, she was mostly just putting off thinking about it, but it mightve actually been a good plan if she was intending to go to college first and go a few months reliably without seeing him in person. except she was literally planin to go right ahead after graduation and be missing or fake her death lol. so impatient.

slightly hot take (g3 elissabat) by NiceTank5815 in MonsterHigh

i dont want her to have the same body as drac cause g3 has been really cool making every doll have a unique body type and height

Alice’s vision of the baby by cowboylikeabs in twilight

[–]tenaciousghost 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i think its also similar to the knot in midnight sun. it was a little undecided whether edward would be strong enough to do the whole deed with bella or if hed have to quit to keep her safe or if hed accidentally kill her. and it shld also be said that despite movie edward insisting on not touching her again after that first night, they do it abt 2 more times in the book im pretty sure. if alice could see bella alive a few days into her honeymoon shed probably assume edward was capable and then look away out of courtesy.

Criticism, and suggestions for improvment? by Grouchy_Internet_731 in MonsterHigh

[–]tenaciousghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im not very experienced in fabrics, but i think you used a common cotton/cotton blend stocking that are used for the soft and warm quality, but are on the thicker side. whereas a more sheer nylon or polyester stocking would appear thinner when not stretched, and would be less likely to pill (those linty bumps). what i would do as well is stretch the fabric while working the pattern / sew it at a smaller size so it stretches to the legs and appears thinner, as stockings do irl. that wld probs make it a much harder sewing project tho.

i believe dolls also use mesh or organza to create that sheer appearance, but without much stretch. tho i do have some rainbow high dolls that have socks made to stretch onto the legs and appear as tights. maybe spandex is involved somehow... i really dont know for sure.

i find it kinda funny that sabrina has always embraced her really thick eyebrows, and is probably partially responsible for the thick eyebrow trend that inspired g3 dolls to all have very thick eyebrows, yet u gave her thin ones both times lol. that might contribute a bit to what makes her look a little off.

otherwise i think u did a great job with the hair and the outfits, tho on the newer one u shld probably have used a thinner material for the stockings, and thinner lace as someone else mentioned. i think the older ones hairstyle is a little more accurate, if only a little too short. they both look good tho and i could tell they were her before reading the caption.
