BJD Account

and here’s Ches, the moon prince 🌙🐰

both boys are my pride and joy but ches in particular has had a lot of custom work put into his character. he’s a Bluefairy Tinyfairy Olive boy, with his faceup touched up and body blush done by me, and a custom lavender fur wig and tail made by someone on DoA and eyes chosen to match perfectly.

His ears are “Ear of Bunny” from Leekeworld, attached by magnets carefully glued to his headcap. his original human feet have been replaced and modded with Soom Kivi feet. Both his ankles and the kivi feet had to be modded to fit - bluefairy msds have their ankle balls attached directly to the leg so they needed to be completely removed, and the kivi feet sanded down at the tops to fit into the new leg socket.

im still working on getting his permanent clothes… his mostly nude-ness is temporary. lol.. someday i hope to commission a proper white/silver prince outfit of my own design for him.

The ongoing adventures of Vin and his true love - sweets :D

And the inevitable aftermath, guest starring JD and Ezra:

Fact: You do not need a high end bjd in order to be in the bjd community. Saying you need to drop over $300usd on a doll in order to be “taken seriously” or “welcomed into” the hobby is a straight out lie. As long as your doll is legit, then you are more than welcome here. My first doll was *approx* $180. I was accepted immediately.

Fact: The community will not cast you out if you have a non-bjd as means of getting into the hobby, or if you collect non-bjds and want to join the bjd community. I’ve seen people start out with MH dolls, or Obitsu, or Dollfie Dream before. Many BJD collectors, myself included, collect and share dolls that aren’t considered to be bjds by textbook definition. Night Lolita dolls share a similar aesthetic to bjds and are an inexpensive alternative. I have a similar doll myself and the bjd community seems to like him a lot (a My Ballerina Doll Prince Nicholas). Whatever works for your aesthetic and budget, as long as it is legit.

Fact: BJD Recast Positive is a toxic hate blog that is not to be trusted with any of their opinions or posts. They will do anything to try and make theft seem like the best option, and will put themselves on a pedestal, and anyone who purchases legitimate products, bjd or not it seems, will be immediately shot down and shamed by the blog. They just wish to spite artists and spite those who think artists and legitimate companies deserve to be paid. The fact their statement said they don’t want to help pro-artists, and yet claim they welcome everyone is a contradiction and shows they aren’t to be trusted. 

Fact: The Pro-Artist community is always willing to assist. Have questions? My inbox, along with the inboxes of many reliable people in the community are usually open, and a lot of us have the anon feature on for those who are uncomfortable naming themselves publicly. I have never seen a pro-artist person refuse to help, or make snide comments towards newbies (unless it is on a confession blog, but i just block all of those and move away from them). Our ask boxes are open, and I’d be more than willing to do research and help out anyone with questions about dolls in general.

Fact: You are always welcome here, even if you don’t have a bjd. As long as you support artistic endeavors and avoid the purchasing of counterfeit items, then there is a place for you in the hobby, and we would love to have you. Even if your first doll isn’t a bjd, even if you used to own recasted counterfeits and have since switched to purchasing legitimate products, even if your dolls are hinge jointed, or have a skeleton system, and are not text-book ball jointed dolls, and you are yet to purchase your first bjd, you’ll have a place here
