I accidentally just posted instead of replied, but I really don't, it's mostly just an image in my head. I dont know if other people get as embarrassed about OC's especially when they've had one for a long time.

I know this doesn't make much sense but he's mostly lived in my head and as a story character. I've drawn him sometimes but nothing terribly realistic, and I get sort of embarrassed to draw him even though no one would see the drawings, lol. But he looks basically like the Pic of the bjd I posted, just with blue eyes and freckles, and curlier hair. But the image in this reply is close. This is him at like maybe 23. The OP Pic would just be a cute younger version.

I just did an awoooga like an old timey cartoon character.

My question is, wor,books with accurate skeletons exs8te doing before A.i. I get that some stuff gets updated and shit but isn't there non-copyright stuff they can use, or is this a 'the Professor made the book and you had to pay out the ass for it' sort of situation?

I've been feeding this one spot of ants a bit of stuff here and there every year for like ten years. They're on a sidewalk far away from any houses. The area they dig and live in is huuuuuge compared to those of the same species further up and down the sidewalk whom I don't usually feed. I fucking love ants,

Sounds like I'd be spending an eternity as a pet curled up on a devil's lap. I mean, presuming I have the same immunity that doesn't make them go mad vrom eternal existence, and I'm a very well cared for pet... sure. Bark bark. I'm sure there's some kinda monster romance book about this written somewhere.....

From what I've seen with a bigger wound there isn't enough skin and cat skin is too fragile, it has to heal open or have a graft. I saw a post from 2 months ago here about someone who had a cat with a chronic open wound and I was just looking for some more advice if possible for anyone who has dealt with this.

My name tag had flipped over when I was working yesterday, and this old lady peered forward really close across the checkout counter to look at the random sticker I had on the back of it and was like 'what's your name, horse? You don't have a name.'

And I said 'it's a spinosaurus sticker' and she was like 'well I can't see your name! What am I supposed to call you?'

And the vibe I'm getting is just a bit off and making me uncomfortable because why do you need to know my name anyways? So I just joked that my name was 'T-Rex' by I go by Tyrannosaurus to get her to go away but she was just weirdly aggressive about it. Like that fake laughing and just a tone you know after dealing with thousands of people for a decade. She was about 80. In general I think anybody who cares about name tags is one of those difficult type of customers who just makes things weird.

Cat asthma. Some can have like one attack a month or something, others several times a week. If you maybe changed cat litters to something a bit too disty or allergies have been bad for you, they can be bad for kitty as well.

Litter is the biggest culprit besides just genetics. Dusty litter triggers asthma attacks.

Oooh a big boy! Okay I've heard of this brand, I also feel like I've seen you post your dragons on here before or maybe it was another user who had a decent bjd dragon collection. I haven't done anything with my griffin but then again, he can just sit on a shelf looking unfinished forever because he still looks cool. Thanks for the pic!

This is Tali without a faceup, but a alpaca wig I made, a fashion Avenue Ken and white shirt I got in a bag of barbie clothes at a thrift for like 11 bucks for everything, and a literal dollar store hair accessory as a skirt. She's since gotten a faceup but I went too heavy with the red and I wanna wipe it.

My first one was dollzone Carlo, about $250, a 1/6. Then I got a 1/4 charm doll diyami full set for about $510. Then I got an irrealdoll tali 1/7th for about 500. My I got 3 Bonnie rabbits for $60. My last is a dream valley 1/4 scale dragon and that was $800.

Haven't bought one since. I did buy a charm doll Eric cowboy outfit for about $110 and some cheap clothes and like 3 wigs off of temu, and I got a great deal on like 90 pairs of eyes for about 90 bucks on ebay once. But otherwise it's been like, handmade clothes and yarn wigs from whatever dollar store or thrift stuff I can use. Also maybe like fifty bucks total for some faceup supplies and glue and nylon, etc. So maybe $2,500 total? And that's over maybe.... five years? Maybe six.

Yo i wanna see that dragon. I have a dream valley 1/4 scale dragon but I haven't seen many others and I always love seeing rare sculpts.

When your lobster is too buttery and your steak too juicy..

My cat got cancer, a swollen lip that quickly became hard and rubbery. She was 3 months on some topical prednisone for maintenence and I had to put her down when it was too hard for her to eat and she was miserable. Kitty doesn't wanna be miserable and in pain, and honestly the best thing you could do was just love him as long as you have. Sometimes the stress for everyone involved is just too much.

My age. Am I instantly dead or have I forced myself into becoming a being who does not die from age? Either way, could be fun!

Iverecently gotten so tired of working, I'm not gonna lie I considered doing so stupid shit like doing one of those 'humiliation' lives where I fail to make something as simple as a sandwich and drop everything everywhere and cry because how is that different from my life right now? I'll add a millennial 'lol' here for some humor.

Audrey is a beautiful man character and I seriously get stupid envy over a comic character whenever I see a new one of him and Val. NGL I wish a nice extroverted person would friend adopt me and I'm not nearly as crusty as Val is, lol.

I wish my public bus would allow this. I gotta take a $35 pet lyft one way and $35 back.

I love irrealdoll heads, I have a Tali and she has like, 6 different wigs I made and they all make her look different.

I definitely have been having a few days like that lately where people existing within my eyesight seems like a personal taunt to make me go insane, lol. I swear anytime someone got within ten feet of me today I felt physical pains, that's how irritated I was.

Just like 'hey are you trying to be an asshole to me by continuing to breathe? That's rude.'

The sensory overload is what gets me. You'd think you could calm down, focus on your work with a bit of meditation, but it just doesn't work. I ply myself with sweets and caffeine to give myself a boost of positive emotions, but that's still me dangling by a thread off of a cliff. And then at some point I just can't..... can't focus, can't think, my brain and body are in pain, I want to curl into a ball. I need more and more microbreaks just to make it through the day. I'd consider myself smart but I can't work more than 30 hours a week, I can barely do 5 five hour shifts a lot of the time. And it's just that the sensory overload compared to my apartment is too much. Cars, smells, noise, lights, the sound of regular customers with distinct voices, having to do something unexpected, etc. Then my verbal tics get worse and makes me feel more self conscious and I go home and I'm just empty.

I think I like a really realistic faceup best. Not just really nice eyelashes and eyebrows and a little blush like most company faceups but undertones, facial imperfections, texture, etc. I like to start mine with some blue veining and light blue and yellow undertones before even getting to the reds. And layers, lots and lots of layers. I'm also quite fond of freckles.

I do like a more fantasy style as well but the issue is I don't have enough heads to practice on!
