The Corrupt a Wish Game! - Part 2

Granted, but the files corrupt, so you never get to see or share the results.

I wish I had more free time to work on my dolls.

 

Granted! But now you can't find where you've stashed away your doll things. So now you end up spending more time looking for things for your dolls than spending it on the dolls.

I wish I can get over this writer's block. I am trying to write a photostory for my dolls!

 

Granted! You have a flow in writing and everything you write sounds great in that moment. But somehow neither you nor others can comprehend what you wrote afterwards. It's like you wrote in a foreign language nobody knows of!

I wish I had the time to sew pants or a costume for my doll because I'm too busy currently.

 

Granted - but all you sew ends up way too tight for your dolls.

I wish my acbjd order arrived immediately after purchasing

 

Granted! Your parcel arrived immediately after your purchase but the resin hasn't cured, so you end up with a blob in a box.

I wish I had a mental notification every time a doll I like is available/back in stock/preorders.

 

Granted! But the notification is super loud, like a fire alarm, and even wakes you up at night.

I wish I had the sewing skills to make all the doll clothes I want right away.

 

Granted! But the fabric you ordered will take forever to arrive because someone bungled up your orders.

I need to be stronger! I really want to restring this giant doll I've got!

 

Granted! All the new-found strength is only in the legs tho.

I wish the wigs didn't keep falling off

 

Granted, but now they're superglued on!

I wish I could buy one of my grails for a reasonable price.

 

Granted! You find your grail doll at a very good price and condition. Also the seller offers you free shipping and your doll arrives quickly and with no extra customs charges.

But when you open the box and you hold your doll for the first time, you don't like at all and you list her in the marketplace to sell her as soon as possible.

I wish I really could complete my dolls before buying new ones.

 

Granted! You finish your current crew and start looking at new dolls again, and realise that you've missed out on the ordering deadline of a -couple- of new favourite/grail dolls.

I wish I can get this velcro to behave and stay in place! It's driving me nuts!

 

Granted, but you realize a zipper would be a better choice and tear it out.

I wish my dolls knew how much I care.

 

Granted! Your dolls are now conscious and aware of how much you love them. Unfortunately their newfound sentience has also led them to learn about the horrors of human society, and so they pretend like they’re still inanimate because life was so much easier that way. They care for you very much though. They just can’t say it because they’re trying to avoid paying taxes.

I’ve restrung this doll twice already and just can’t get it right. I wish I had an innate talent that lets me restring every doll perfectly the first time I try.

 

Granted! You've become amazing at getting the string tension perfect! Unfortunately, you've forgotten how to make knots, though.

I wish the type of shoes I wanted existed and were possible to buy for a 5,5x2cm feet!

 

Granted! Your shoes are possible to buy... at the cost of your mortal soul

I wish there were more tutorials for styling doll wigs in vintage styles.

 

Granted! There are suddenly more vintage wig tutorials! But... they're all from the wrong era and wrong countries from what you've had in mind.

I wish I can find little doll-sized accessories! They're too hard for my big sausage fingers to make!

 

Granted. Perfectly scaled accessories are sold on anywhere you typically shop of doll stuff.
But they each only come in one color and it's something obnoxious.

I wish there was a magic method to perfectly and quickly restring, suede/wire all BJDs.

 

Granted! But their magnets always come loose.

I wish I had more ideas for doll styling ~

 

Granted! Tons of ideas! And no motivation to go through with any of them!

I wish the body I want would also exist in the size, colour, and price I want.

 

Granted! But the shipping time is 5 years!

I wish I could find another source for wigs with as many options in as many sizes as Monique.

 

Granted! You can find all the sizes and styles you want BUT none of the colors you want.

I wish I could find more images of some older less popular doll sculpts!

 

Granted! But the photos are grainy, the colours are off and a bunch of them are corrupted because... well, they're older, of course.

I wish a company I love will hurry up and come up with a vampire version of a sculpt I am madly in love with! They did it for a few older sculpts already, so hurry up guys... I'm waiting!

 

Granted!

Your favourite maker resealed a vampire version of the sculpt you've been waiting for! But the only fangs you can see when the head arrives are the bottom ones!

I wish I was a MSD version of all the 1/3 sculpts!

 

Granted! But it’s head sculpts only and impossible to make a good hybrid.

I wish I could find the perfect pair of sparkling turquoise blue eyes!

 

Granted! They are only available as 30mm tho.

I wish doll stuff sold faster second hand!

 

Granted! Everytime you lost a doll for sale gets sold within 5 minutes.

But you'll regret selling all your dolls once they reached their new owner.

I wish it was easier to sew tiny doll clothes!

 

Granted! But now they are so tiny they don't fit any of your dolls anymore...

I wish the weather gets better soon! I wanna do some face ups, but it's too cold and the forecast says snow!

 

Granted! But you suddenly have a very full schedule on the good weather days and only have time to do faceups in the evening.

I wish I had more clothes for my EID men.

 

Granted! You now find many more options for EID men, but they come in a variety of questionable styles with atrocious colourways. And the company doesn't ship to where you live.

I wish the dealer will send my body soon! My boys can't keep on sharing the same body!

 

Granted! The body arrives and... it's the wrong resin colour (no it's not blushable/dyeable to match)

I wish companies added wrist and ankle measurements!

 

Granted! All companies now list wrist and ankle measurements on their websites... but have stopped listing head and neck measurements...

I wish dolls were more normalized as a hobby for adults

 

Granted! But suddenly a lot more people start buying dolls which means there’s waiting times over a year long for your favorite companies.

I wish there were more options for 65cm+ girl dolls.

 

Granted!
There is now a new influx of 65+ girls, but the posing is sketchy and none of them can stand on their own. And now you're off to search for a good stand for them, but they're hard to find.

I really wish I can find the perfect MSD head that looks like the younger version of my SD character...

 

Granted! But you end up preferring the MSD to the SD.

I wish I could find an easier way to color match doll parts.

 

Granted! All parts (incl the eyeballs and hair) are now the same khaki green colour.

I wish low dome eyes were easier to find.

 

Granted!

You find a lot of low dome eyes in all the colours, but not the colour you need!

I wish it was easier to find all styles of wigs in all the colours.

 

Granted! It's now much easier to find wigs! But the flyaways are awful and they fall apart after a week of use.

I wish I can bring back the independent art store that used to be close to me. Finding art supplies from big chain stores is expensive and difficult!

 

Granted! You find a fabulous independant art store but it’s on the other side of your city and the journey is around 2 hours to get there and 2 hours back.

I wish there were options for semi permanent doll makeup.

 

Granted! There are now a wide array of options for semi-permanent doll makeup... of clowns. Everything that's available is clown face paint, in atrocious colourways.

I wish my hands will shake less when I am trying to drawn eyebrows!

 

Granted! But you now can draw only the thinly-plucked mean girls 90s eyebrows.

I wish Dream Valley or Luts would make a 1/3 scale BJD horse.

 

Granted! These two company both came out with a 1/3 scale BJD horse. But they cost as much as a real horse and they don't pose very well.

I wish my allergies will get better soon! It's really hard to breathe in a respirator when you feel like there's a half-brick stuffed behind your face!

 

Granted! Your immune system no longer attacks anything external, including your allergens. Unfortunately, your body is not exempt. You’re sick all the time on top of having an autoimmune disorder.

I wish I could find some good crochet or knitting patterns for my dolls.

 

Granted! A new Etsy seller releases stellar crochet and knitting patterns with fabulous instructions that perfectly fit your dolls. The patterns are for basic designs you already know how to make.

I wish I could find fine weave denim fabric for my dolls (to make them all jeans).

 

You find the fabric! But accidentally cut them out not following the weave perfectly and *all* of them twist around your doll's legs wrong.

I wish Dollmore upgraded all their single-jointed bodies.

 

This one actually was granted - they just refuse to sell it to you. Also, apparently, she can't stand on her own.

Ummm, I wish there were Etsy sellers who made clothes for the Dollmore Trinity M boys.

 

Granted ! But they only make children's clothes in pastel colors with silly prints.

Oh well, I wish I could buy a new camera so I could take better photos of my dolls.

 

Granted - you've gotten a great camera but nothing stays in focus but the nose-up shots.

I wish companies offered a properly butter yellow resin for oldie hybrids.

 

Granted, but it's so buttery it melts if not kept refrigerated!

I wish I could find a proper t-shirt pattern for my SD boys.

 

Granted! It's the perfect size and style. But you can only get a physical copy, in the opposite measuring system from what you use, and it's written in a language you don't understand. Oops, the seller forgot to include a page.
(I think I'm getting good at the corrupting part. Maybe too good. )

Hm. I wish that BJDs were more modular - like twist and lock assembly, instead of elastic stringing.

 

Granted! The resin’s too brittle for such delicate pieces. The parts break almost instantly and replacement parts add up to a small fortune.

I wish my incoming girl was here already.

 

Granted! She arrives immediately but is missing a crucial part of her body that takes the company 9 months to ship.

I wish I could decide if I want to buy the thing I've been eyeing or if I should wait if something else pops up.

 

Granted! You go to buy the first thing and it is suddenly out of stock. But nothing else you want has popped up either, alas!
I wish Souldoll would restock the listed Zenith girl shoes and boots or even do a preorder for something new - it seems like it has been forever since they offered any footwear for these Bigfoot gals!

 

Granted! But Souldoll only makes large yellow rain-boots.

I wish there were more varied, and fancy looking, SD and MSD display stands available (especially at dealers).

 

Granted! But they are as expensive as a doll in that same size.

I wish summer wasn't so hot this year because it drains me and I end up not feeling like playing with my dolls.

 

Granted! It'll be a long nasty cold summer and your dolls will feel so gloomy they will end up not wanting to play with you.

I wish eyes were easier to put into dolls! Eye putty is my enemy.

 

Granted! Easy to put in, but also, easily pop out.

I wish all BJD companies switched to magnetic twist and lock hand joints.

 

Granted! You have to supply your own magnets to fit their pieces and sizes/shapes aren’t standard. Nothing fits.

I wish I wasn’t so susceptible to chemical reactions. (Yes, I wear a respirator for MSC.) My tolerance has gone way down- a brief exposure to one chemical (acetone fumes) seems to be causing symptoms bigger than a prolonged exposure a couple months ago. Family history of developing allergies/sensitivities isn’t in my favor. I can’t tell if I’m truly sick or not… Timing/symptoms say exposure, family members getting a single symptom say contagious illness.

 

Granted! Your tolerance to chemical odors has increased significantly. So much so that now you can no longer breathe normal oxygen and you have to lie down under a started car at least once a night.

I wish all my photo projects turned out great.

 

Granted! But you only get to view photos once and they can't be saved or posted!

I wish I had more space to create nice display areas for my dolls.

 

Granted! All your space is doll space now (no space for you).

I wish I had enough s hooks!
