The Castle

Hello, I'm Mimi!

🇵🇭🇨🇿🇨🇳 | 81yrs | 8/15

I've been a member of the Living Doll community since I was about 9 or 10 and I want to become an opera singer!

Yeah, so... I wrote another song. This time it's about children who relentlessly harm smaller children & the lasting effects it has.

If you've experienced anything like this, I'd love to hear your story!!

I made a low quality music video, too... 💀

I sang sum stuff and put it on Soundcloud .*+

Yeah, I ended up changing my artist name from Marinq as well... I just felt that Marinq didn't sound right if I'm going to do both contemporary music and opera. I just stuck with Mimi and a feminization of my family name, Hromas.

Ignore the fact that Tumblr is straight up not letting me add my Soundcloud audio stuff 💔 everyone gets these screenshots instead:

The first one is a cover I made of a Stevie Nicks song I've come to really like. Gosh, if I had a band and everything I'd go crazy with covering this song. I think the guitar solo stuff is super cool. I love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

She's so raggedy and I'd like to profit off of these rag dolls, but I'm afraid of them being destroyed so easily. Maybe it could be some form of art, though.

I tried to do Grisaille. The idea was to paint on grayscale and then paint over it, so therefore, these were pretty experimental. Ended up not wanting them to be anything but grayscale, though!

Shopping Online :

• You can't really guarantee if they are ethically sourced when purchasing from Amazon, TEMU, etc. or really most places online. Keep that in mind.

• The best way to guarantee they'll be real is to find where the stone is most commonly found in your country and go from there. Maybe look for eBay sellers or something.

• Are you looking for Opal or Opalite off TEMU or Amazon? You're going to get glass. Period. Don't fall for Adara Crystal, either. Glass. Only purchase if you're wanting some pretty glass!

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO :

• Purchase rock tumbler refill!!! You'll likely get Green Aventurine, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Dalmation Stone, Red Jasper, Sodalite, and Tiger's Eye!!! That is A LOT of rocks.

• You are very much capable of getting some beautiful cheap crystals off of online stores. My advice is to just not purchase anything labeled opal, lol. I'd say, as long as you know what straight B.S. looks like on an online store, 8 or 9 out of 10 times you'll get shockingly real stones.

Out in the Real World :

• Garage Sales, Estate Sales, etc. You might get SUPER lucky!

• Teach yourself Rockhounding & go make friends with some folks who do lapidary. If you find something, you can get your lapidary friends to cut open your rock so you can take a peek inside! That is, unless you wanna spend a pretty penny on a rock cutter and/or polisher.

• Go watch videos by people like Agate Ariel on YouTube. Consume a lot of that content because you'll get yourself FREE crystals that way.

• Never stop looking down. Again with the whole Rockhounding thing-- DOWNLOAD A ROCK IDENTIFICATION APP. I've tested them out, and they are shockingly accurate. HOWEVER, sometimes they mistaken glass for a real rock or a real rock for glass, so watch out for that.

• Go outside, pick up a whole bunch of rocks that look like a whole lot of nothing. Identify them with your app, and it's cool to see how different all those rocks actually are.

• Also, for all the crystal-healing folks-- when you pick up granite and marble, don't toss it! That stuff is powerful, even though it's not super duper pretty.

When purchasing stones from a store in-person, here are some indications of glass :

• Air bubbles

• Too perfect looking

• No inclusions (does it split on the inside?)

• Not cold enough

I forget I have tumblr as an outlet to be emotional and what not in times when I just can't bare to console my friends or family.

Has anyone played or watched a playthrough of the Cat Lady (2012)?

I watched a 6 hour playthrough of it after finding out about it simply by chance. I watched an Instagram reel and someone said "the sound effects used remind me of a game called the Cat Lady, lol". I was curious and looked into it. I had gone to the ER the day prior because I felt overwhelmingly suicidal and I was really desperate to inspire myself and give myself some sort of hope. I read the summary for the Cat Lady and the main character, Susan, kills herself but then is revived and she dies over and over again because she's the Cat Lady and has many lives. But it's almost funny because she's made invincible, but she just really wants to die lmao.
