She does, however, work even smaller.

I'm talking about that one dog watching/walking service that has a whole commercial implying that your family members secretly hate you for asking them to watch your dog to the point it counts as a modern social faux pas.

And there's this moving service commercial that I think someone else referenced in a big tweet that says something along the line of "Real adults don't ask their friends to help them move."

Like fuck that, man. You're supposed to want to watch your friends' pets, and you're supposed to want to help your friends move, and you're supposed to cook for people when they're sick, and you're supposed to show up to check on friends you haven't heard from in awhile, and you're supposed to remember your friend needs a large frying pan when you find one cheap at the thrift store and bring it to them.

One of the reasons the younger generations are so miserable and lonely is because the rise of technology and the concurrent pushing of this rhetoric that all effort is a major inconvenience, and asking someone to put in effort for you therefore makes you an inconvenience has conditioned them not to seek community.

And because they've never experienced it, they don't know that's what's missing. It's a vicious cycle because when you're depressed from lack of community, finding the energy to put in effort for other people is a lot harder than getting quick dopamine hits from scrolling on social media or watching Netflix. Then you encounter the further issue that our media glorifies romantic love to the exclusion of all else, so most of the young people I know who are lonely jump to "Well I just need a girlfriend/boyfriend/partner," and that sets up rough relationships because one person is expected to fill the void of a dozen or more friends and neighbors.

Yes resinsoul came thrugh 🙈 I got him about a month ago but didn't paint him till now, you would not belive how hard it was to find an MSD sized curly blond wig that wasn't platinum blond 8C (i basically had only one option) i want him to have yellow or gold eyes but these are the only ones I had that fit

The face up is on the subtler side but I have been struggling with his and my dollshe siant's face ups for 3 days so I decided to play it safe 😩

This was a bit of an experiment.

The brown braids in the front are what was left from the hair I bought from Shimmer Locks.

All of the black "braids" actually came from a roll of micro cord fiber. It mimics microbraids pretty well.

My concern now is whether or not a hot water rinse will lay them down and set the part.

First, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous this doll is. Her screening is immaculate.

She came from one of the first wave you create kits. I didn't buy the whole kit but I was able to get her head, a matching mtm body and a few of the wigs from Mercari.

I originally had her on a petite body but I switched her to a tall and I think she looks fabulous.

Now, on to the hair.

I wish I'd had a few more of the brown braids leftover because the mix of colors complements her quite well. Makes a nice pop of color against the black.

The micro cord braids laid down very well after I poured some boiled water over them. I did wrap her head in plastic wrap overnight to really lay down the part.

This time I tried to leave more space between rows in the back of her head. It looks full without being bulky.
