The ^ < v Game! - Part 4

May 23, 2017

    1. ^ In the most basic sense of 'ability', Tyler sometimes wishes he could see. As for learned abilities, he would like to learn to speak other languages. Aubrey wishes he could learn to worry less. Reid thinks he's pretty much perfect the way he is, but if he had to pick one ability that he doesn't currently have, it'd be learning how to cook. As for Noรฉ, there are a lot of abilities and qualities he feels as if he lacks. He wishes he could be more self-confident, have better self-esteem, be more outgoing, be less self-destructive and generally become a more likeable person.

      < So it's National French Fries Day... :D I can see a visit to McD's in my future :mwahaha

      V Are you currently waiting for anything doll-related to arrive in the mail?

    2. ^ Does a check count? :sweat I had to deplete my doll savings on some emergencies a year and a half ago, so I'm planning to use my renters' tax refund (and summer job money) to rebuild it. Mostly now, though, I'm on aesthetics (which I do myself) and clothes (which I want to make), so nothing in the mail.

      Wait, no, there's wigs. I don't make wigs, and I do have a kind of overdue order on those... Forgot about those with that impending check...

      < Why does my neck hurt so much today? :...(

      v What's your doll's ideal wardrobe?

    3. ^ (Since I have Audrey and Snape downstairs with me today....) Audrey likes anything very soft, very floaty, and preferably in jewel-tones or deep hot pink, and things that she doesn't have to wear a bra with. Snape--all black, all the time. Maybe with some pops of green and silver. I don't think he really cares exactly what he's wearing, so long as it doesn't interfere with things.

      < I can do it, I can get things done today, I believe in me.

      v Boring sort of question, but...do you make your doll's wardrobe, or do you buy it? Do you have an absolute favorite wardrobe piece? (Either bought or made!)

    4. ^ I have made a few things for my dolls, but mostly I buy their clothes. My absolute favourite thing is Aubrey's naval uniform. As a practical wardrobe piece, though, my favourite thing is Tyler's cable-knit sweater from Nine9Style.

      < ahhh finally...LUNCH! Gonna get my fries for National French Fries day after work ;)

    5. ^ all I can do is find sculpts amd make wigs, but I really wish I could sew. I would love to do faceups, but I know a fantastic artist, so I really don't need to learn as direly. If I could sew, o wouldn't need to make so many orders, and things would actually fit Rina...

    6. ^ My first doll was a Dream of Doll E-an. My Oasisdoll Natalie is actually fairly similar, but more realistic and a better fit for her character (I reshelled her).

      < I think I've found a few other things that will work for Dowen! yay! Finding clothes to fit has been such a pain.

    7. ^ EVERYTHING. I love props, all the props. But I have a real passion for miniature books and dishes. I collect miniature tea sets, totally unconnected to the dolls. I like really nice musical instruments too.

    8. ^ Probably Reid's wheelchair because I did all the mods for it myself. Also Tyler's current white cane because, after making at least four of them, I've finally gotten the proportions exactly the way I wanted. Another of my favourite props is Aubrey's real china tea set that is perfectly in-scale for him. :)

      < hnnnnggg... why do clients cancel without notice or just randomly fail to show up? I hate when that happens

    9. ^ Elliot just seems to get annoyed in general (he is a bit of a grouch), but he especially doesn't like it when people interrupt him when he is reading.

      Ollie is rarely annoyed. But she doesn't like being bored or ignored.

      Ji-Han rarely shows annoyance, though that is not the same as rarely being annoyed. He hated messiness and is very meticulous about his looks.

      > Ugh, so close. But I guess I can't do it after all.

    10. ^ A combination of my roommate at the time, and a long-time interest in having some kind of "action figure" of my characters. I'd considered kitbashing existing action figures, but never could find ones with the right look to them. (I'd also considered things like basic Obitsus, the more action-figure-ish ones, but they didn't have the right aesthetics either.) My then-roommate and I were doing Artist Alley tables at a lot of conventions, and she'd talked to someone about their doll at one of them, so she proposed that we each get one and use them as mannequins for making doll scale clothes. I agreed, on the condition that one could be found that looked like my character. She managed to find one. So here I am. :)

      < I hope I can find some time for some doll work this weekend...

    11. ^ Aelic: Anything spicy. He eats peppers and chilis like apples and puts hot sauce on everything.
      Toshi: He loves rice and beans, preferably mixed thoroughly. His parents don't approve of his messy eating.
      Ilya: Raw fish. On the bone. He's a seal and eats whole raw fish.

      < First week of the new job is done! Feels good. Except I'm covered in bug bites. Ug.

      v Not technically a question, but... Tell us a funny story about your doll/character! (Can be from their backstory or about the actual doll, your choice~)

    12. ^ Okay. So when I was moving last year, almost all of the dolls were able to be safely packed in the moving truck. However, one doll was going to have to ride on my lap, so I picked Sevvie (IS CangXie). I had some spicy pork cracklins to nibble on the way, and it didn't matter how I was holding Sev, or how he was covered in a sweater, or kept moving him, his arm kept popping up with his hand held out like he was asking for one. This happened the *entire* trip across Virginia and North Carolina into Tennessee, and I had two witnesses. XD So, we now assume that my teenage Snape has an addiction to junk food, especially pork rinds and the like. I've since added it to his story.

      < I have the attention span of a hamster tonight. Wheee!

      v Did your doll ever do a thing or have a thing happen in real life that you ended up incorporating into their character? If you don't have a character for your doll, does your doll have a weird "quirk" that keeps happening?

    13. ^ Gabriel has a scar over his left eye. When the doll (IMPL Gnaeus) arrived brand-new from the company, his faceup was already damaged, with a chip over his left eye. When I got someone to repaint him, I asked her to give him a scar across his eyebrow, in the place where the original faceup had arrived chipped, simply because I got used to seeing the chip in that spot. Gabriel, the character, now also has a tiny scar above his left eye that partially intersects his eyebrow.

      < fml...I do not want to be at work today. *sob* Also, I'm SO FRAKKING TIRED of this certain person who continuously insults my intelligence and talks down to me. You wonder why there's such anti-American sentiment in parts of Canada? It's because of that tiny, poorly-behaved minority that gives the rest of them a bad name. Also, I kinda hate summer *dies*

    14. ^ All of my dolls favorite season is fall, because it's mine and I hate all others. They're all always dressed for fall and with the exception of some winter drawings, they all exist in a perpetually fall world where it is a few weeks from Halloween. Always. Fall forever.

    16. ^ I have a big set of plastic drawers for my dolls! Accessories -> underwears and socks -> MSD clothes -> SD shirt -> SD bottoms
      And then a smaller set of 3 drawers (the kind that can be put on a desk) for their shoes!
      ^ full cleaning and restringing are kind of boring, but I don't do it often and at least it's an easy task. Faceups, on the other hand, I do for every new doll and a doll might have more than 1 faceup a year if I'm having trouble with it 8( I flippin hate doing faceups. I'm really slow so one head pretty much takes up my whole weekend! (but I hate sending my dolls away for faceup even more)

      < but right now I'm almost looking forward to do a faceup! I've had a single floating head at home for 7 months and I can't do anything with her until her body gets here because I'll need to colour-match her somehow :T

    19. ^ strict-ish. I don't usually buy random things I don't need anymore. But sometimes, a company will put a head out that I just OMGNEED (like the Granado V-08 or Ringdoll Raven) and I get it anyway. But both those guys worked really well in my group....so....worth it.

      ^ My dolls all have fall-winter stuff. No summer. I only own like, three pairs of shorts, all for the girls, and they usually wear long/heavier things under. Even when in t-shirts my dolls usually have hats and scarves on. And boots. We had a summer beach party themed meet and I took three guys in three-piece suits. We don't beach in this house.

    22. ^ Well ... yes and no. On the one hand, I don't really want to re-shell anyone because I don't know what to do with their old shells. On the other I'm super unhappy if a resin avatar doesn't work ... it's sort of a necessary evil. I've re-shelled twice (Katie moved from Elfdoll Yuan to Iple Bliss, Sven from Iple Felix to Ringdoll Norman), both times because the first avatars didn't work with the group. I still need to get Sven a custom-matched body, but once that's done I don't think I'll be re-shelling anyone again any time soon.

      < @KiyoshiSenshi I know, right? Same here ... we need a chit-chat thread over in Brigadoon, methinks. :XD:

I originally had Ed as a MNM head, which you'd think would be a perfect fit! But I didn't really like the overall look, so he's now a FL Shiwoo. And Winry was originally a LM Irin I won in a raffle, but she looked too grumpy so I switched her to a SpiritDoll Snowdrop.

    32. ^ As far as full dolls go, only once. I absolutely loved her in pictures (and still do), and since she was limited I went ahead and bought her. At the time, she was my largest doll, and my most expensive doll, and my hardest to handle doll. So I never really handled her. She sat around blank, in a heap, being a blank heap of expensive resin. I never got over my anxiety toward blushing her and handling her, and eventually just decided "Well, I guess big dolls aren't for me" and sold her off to a new owner. ("Big dolls aren't for me" wasn't permanent, I have two now, but they were "cheap" rescues. I adore them.)

      I've also sold a few heads (generally because I didn't have plans for them and they showed up with something else I wanted), and one body (didn't look right with the head I paired with it). I tried to sell another body not too long ago... and instead bought a new head off the MP. :sweat I'm really not good at selling doll parts. Or maybe I'm just good at getting stuff I really like the first time around?

    34. ^ A.R. is probably the type to just sleep it away, or daydream, or look at art, or make some. They'll just distract themselves with something peaceful and therapeutic, or just try to feel more interested in things. They don't really know what else to do, and they're much more inclined towards boredom than dangerous risk and thrill.

      Rose Tea... would probably find a new hobby, dress up and apply makeup, go to the gym, or go do her work, or just find more work if there isn't any! She's amused by what she has most of the time, it feel strange to think about her being bored, haha!

      Also, Alabast! They're more than happy to be bored, kind of like A.R. They're just... really happy to be able to live through a boring limbo than suffer, really.

      • Creative
    35. ^ Gabriel, Maren, Esa, and the others in their sub-group are all nocturnal, so while they do use lighting in their buildings and cities, they aren't afraid of the dark itself. It's just a lot easier to see when there's lights. :) (Their world has two sets of "elves," connected to the sun and the moon; they're the moon ones, so they're the nocturnal subrace.)

      With the other set... they're not afraid of the dark itself, per se, but since Ed, Jace, Razzy and Nico all spent a long time in a dark cave with horrible things lurking in the shadows, they tend to be a bit more on edge these days in darkness. They all came out of the cave with a touch of PTSD, and with time the anxiety does fade out, but they still stay a bit more cautious than average when it comes to true darkness. (Nights with a gibbous or full moon or similarly "lit" darkness are better for them, but all four tend to prefer light to darkness.)

    45. ^ Oh, that would be Nial's date with one of the "noble" girls his parents wanted him to date. So snobish, in luxurious restaurant and stuff like this. Nothing he could enjoy, like his dates with his cute boyfriend (walks in the fields, bike rides, going to cinema...) He was forced to spend the day with the girl and it was so boring! She was talking about stuff he wasn't interested in, no one asked him for his opinion. When he got back home, he was so tired he went straight to sleep.

    46. ^ For Ana, the most emotional memory is seeing her people's homeland for the first time. She's an elf who grew up among humans, unaware of what it was that made her different, until she was picked up when the last elves evacuated back to their homeland. They spent a lot of time on their ship, picking up all the remaining elves from all over the world, until they finally made it home ... seeing that coast, knowing it was where her people lived and where she truly belonged, is definitely the most emotional memory Ana has.

Toshi and Lacey would both just suck it up with a smile, though Toshi would probably sprinkle some magic here and there to make things easier.

(She'd be concerned about hurting her friend in some way, so she wouldn't do it.) They'd all be terribly confused and somewhat annoyed by it (except the first four, who would be concerned and possibly a bit terrified).

As soon as she doesn't, they'll examine it. Somehow it gets pressed in the process, although they'll maintain they don't know how it happened and it was totally an accident and they were just looking, really!

    58. ^ Mercy (iplehouse Carina) would follow a lot of the impldoll ladies on the muscular star body, iplehouse hid women, and fantasia dolls for the same reason. She'd also have one cute little like, feeple60 moe Chloe. She's a strong, atheletic woman who'd follow a lot of like minded individuals (and men too, like iplehouse EID men and the like) and then her cute little girlfriend, who I can see being a tiny, wide eyed thing like maybe a Chloe. I Suppose, to include her other friends, she'd be following a dollmore zaoll/dc hybrid, and a crobidoll/resiner hybrid

    59. ^ That depends on what you mean by family trip. If you mean a trip for the character with their actual family, Ian wouldn't really enjoy it unless it was just him and his mom going somewhere together, since they tend to be more alike and too many family members at once stresses out together. If you mean his doll form going on a trip somewhere with me on a family trip, he'd more likely enjoy it, I think? He'd get to see more of the world and since I'm a very slow-paced person like him he wouldn't have to rush. Or maybe I'm just telling that to myself because I'd enjoy doing it with him and not getting rushed!

    60. ^ Nigel and Nial are both totally city people. Just because of the huge amount of people there, so they can hide and no one actually remembers them, as it was in the countryside where they both grew up.
      Estaz, on the other hand, is totally nature-lover. Mostly because he doesn't know anything else and cities scares him. Okay, he's afraid of humans, so it's only logical that he would prefer forest.

      < Och my god... I think I'm in trouble! Why am I doing this? Nooooooo! Well... at least it was fun today at work. Policeman came and told us: "Someone stole you few sunglasses." Like... who the hell is stealing sunglasses, when he can steal all the money?! O_o I don't understand it...
