new tumblr, hu dis?

My lovely friend at ResinRapture (https://resinrapture.com/) made a #probjdartists badge. Here it is so please, put it up in your site/profile if you agree! 

Dear newbies and other accidental recast owners; you are not a terrible person for your or your gifter’s mistake in buying a recast. You can still enjoy the hobby! I’m sorry you ended up in this position, and I will not deny you sympathy even if you are attached to your recast doll. I do request that you avoid posting it in legit only spaces, and that you avoid buying recasts from now on, now that you know better, and hopefully you can enjoy the hobby despite this misfortune.

Don’t fall for the anti-artist mindset of demonizing pro-artists, many of us if not most will understand the mistake, and the rest aren’t worth your time. Contrary to what you see on drama/confession blogs, you are NOT scum for this mistake, and I. Don’t. Blame. You.

I don’t want to drive someone with so much potential out of the hobby. You can still enjoy the hobby, and you can bring great things to the community and make good friends regardless. As long as you are honest about what happened, and do not intend to further fund recasters, I truly believe you can be a part of the hobby. Who knows, maybe your recast can be used to show some of the differences between recasts and legits for future newbies to help them avoid making that same mistake.

I hope whatever holiday you celebrate has gone well and that you are in good spirits this winter, and I hope that this mistake isn’t enough to ruin your holiday. I hope the upcoming year is good to you regardless!
