Things you never thought you'd say until you owned a BJD v2

@Rowenstar: You rock. I should totally try this next time

 

"I can't wait to open that head after work."
"I need to buy a body."
"This weekend, I'm going to get a dremel tool and sand off the body's breasts."
"He's just a head now. I sold his body."
"Careful where you walk. There are body parts on my floor."
"The torso is hanging outside to dry."
"I'm selling eyes."
and the strangest ones to me...
"That dress is perfect!" (I hate dresses... on me)
"I'll take the pink one." (I hate pink... on me)
"It isn't girly enough/lacy enough."

 

"I could just rotate the legs while they're drying."
"If it's just the face, it should fit in the vacuum chamber!"
"Yeahhhh but he doesn't really look right yet... Maybe if I would sand down his nose a bit?"

 

A friend o´mine asked: "So, you buy them, dress them. Do they make any movement after that? Do they fell something?"
Me: Yes, sure. Once my doll was so upset that he simply could´t stand. So I had to take him to bed, took his clothes off and...
He: "Aaaaaand?!?!?!?"
Me: "...restring him. After he poses perfectly. Hey, What more could be???" - naive expression.

 

Not sure if this counts, because it actually ends with me clamming up at the end, but here it goes:

I was in one of my counseling classes today, and we had to practice some attending/listening skills we just learned in our groups. In my group, I was set up to be the person counseled, and I started telling my friend about the BJD hobby.

Eventually, I started talking about wanting to buy a third doll. I was telling her how I was going to buy this third doll in pieces, since I didn't think I could buy the full doll because the price was sort of high; I was going to buy the head first, and the body later on, to keep costs lower. I was nervous that she would think the BJD hobby and such were kind of weird and strange, but she actually got interested in it, and didn't get creeped out about my doll-buying plans.

All of a sudden, our professor - who makes it a habit of going around to the groups to see how we're doing - comes and sits right next to me and my friend. She freaks out, and even I freak out because he's right beside us, and I end up clamming up about the buying process because I'm worried he's going to think I'm a psycho.

 

"I got a little extra on my paycheck. I decided to treat myself by buying a pair of eyes. "

 

"I hate how my eyes keep popping out."

 

"She kicks me when I try to put pants on her"
"Look at those boobs! I didn't think they'd be so big!"
"Why do his jeans keep staining his knees?"
"I want a bigger baby"
"I'm just in bed with my other guy"
"His knee pops out a lot"
"He has a hole in his back, look"

 

*while removing a face-up*
"I've been picking his nose for like 15 minutes now but I just can't get the last bit out!"

 

@Puppit- XD Every time

 

"Oh my god! That's doll sized!" <- pretty constant

..which is why I bought a nine dollar kid's shirt at wallyworld cause it came with a perfect sd sized skate board. Actually, I bought two. One skateboard had a zombie on it, the other had a nifty tribal thing going on. I gave one of the shirts to a friend with a youngin' about that size and the larger, I'mma cut up for the doll that the boards are for.

 

It takes me longer to prep my dolls for a shoot then it does for me to get ready in the morning for school.

 

Oh yes, this so much! It takes me longer to get my dolls dressed than myself. And I spend more on them too...

 

"This one only cost me $260."

and

"$1000 for a car? That's way too much money. I'm gonna go buy this $760 Super Gem now."

 

"Eyes!! I haven't gotten eyes yet! She needs the perfect eyes to be complete!"

 

Me talking to a friend when I had to pull off my DoD Ducan's head to change his eyes:

"It was a pain to get off, I even had to get on top of him!"

He really didn't want his head to come off, so I had to hold him down with a bit more force than usual <<;

 

"She makes a good brunette and a really great redhead... But I was thinking maybe blonde... maybe white..."

"Yeah, she sleeps in her case at night" (friend overhears and freaks out)

"What am I going to do with this pair of pants?"

"I need to make her eyelashes look smaller."

edit: "Phew, thank goodness her eyes didn't fall out when she fell down!"

 

I haven't had anything to add to this thread in a while!

This is what happened today in an IM, cleaned up for the forum:

Me: http://kihaku.fi/heaven/Comparison.php

A BJD friend: ? What's that?

Me: Its a site that compares different doll sizes and makes it so that you can choose the dolls you want to compare and move them around. I just did Ryuichi as a adult (Delf), a MNF, a Pukifee. a littlefee and a puki. He'd be fetal size as a puki! LOL So far, I have him as a Delf and a MNF, I'd like to get the others later on down the line to represent child, toddler and I think I might do the fetus for s***s and giggles! (^_______^)
add an umbilical cord and a amniotic sack out of see-through pink gauze....lol

Friend: That's mildly terrifying.

Me: I know! Or funny as s***!

Friend: I'm leaning more towards terrified. XD

Me: Especially since it would give me a reason to get a pong pong

Me: *dies laughing*

In regards to an MSD I was wanting to order for my birthday:

"They can run up to $500, but the one I want is $300."

I was trying to go the angle of shock first, slightly less (and therefore easier to bear, in theory) shock later. It didn't work.

 

"I'm selling the body cause I just don't like it!" there have been so many conversations like that with my friends on the subway that even a few people moved away from us. XD

Or "crap Darrius headbutted me again! He chipped my glasses lens!" (this has happened 2 times)

 

"I think she needs smaller eyes"

"It's only $700!" (never though I'd say that about anything in my life)

"What size breasts do you like better?"

"Don't mind the pile of body parts in the sink"
10 minutes later... "crap, where'd the other hand go?"

 

"Damn your boobs!"
(doll won't fit into anything tight-fitted, because of her huge boobs)

 

Just today, while I was sewing for my doll:

Me: Yeowch!

DH: What happened?

Me: Oh, Iris is just getting all kicky again.

DH: Huh?

Me: Oh she just snaps and ends up kicking me. Maybe she's strung funny.

DH:

 

My cousin was scrolling through photos on my Instagram, and came across a pic I had of my Kaede (60cm boy) with Myles (a 26cm tiny). At the time they both had blond wigs and they were hugging...so my cousin asked: "Does your doll have a baby?"

I was like and thought, 'Kaede's too young to be a father...' OTL

 

In a car with some (cosplay) friends.

"I want bodies!"

(beat)

"I mean, there are so many nice new well-engineered sculpts nowadays..."

 

Me: *holding friend's doll* Wow she is so floppy. *doll almost falls over* Stop it! I'm just trying to look at your face! Well here.*hands her back to friend*
Friend: Yeah, c'mere flopsie.

 

Me, on the topic of modding the hands of my RS An: "I've decided. I'm going to boil Michael's hands."

 

talking with a friend about Soom:

me: WOW only $290?? That's so cheap!! Oh, wait, she's (5cm) shorter than I thought she'd be... Ah, maybe not.

ad: that's, um, expensive. Why aren't they taller?

me: forget what I said ...their petite series is to die for.

 

These are hysterical.

"Woah! She came with an extra face!"

"Geez, I can't get her eyes out."

"Oops. I can't get his head back on. You hold here, I'll pull."

 

Arrgggh You are standing on my eye!

 

Me, on ordering a body for my floating head: "Tyler is gettng a body of his own! Now his brother won't have to share his with him."

 

Sapphire, that made me laugh ^0^

looking at certain sculpts with large boobs, then looking for clothes...
"I like that dress, but there's no way Anya has boobs that big"
then "I like that shirt, but it's for boys... good thing Anya has tiny boobs"
also

"damn now I'm gonna have to get new eyelashes.

 

"Where the f*** did his foot go?!"

"His upper arm is missing."

"Now I have to take his head of, again... how annoying."

"ARGH! Why do your knees have to eat your pants?"

"You can pull his pants down if you want to, it's fine."

"Where did his eye go? Everybody, stay still or it's gone forever!"

"I'm picking his body up today. Yay!"

The list goes on... If all conversations between doll people would be recorded, we'd all be put in a mental institution.


And then of course there's all the awkward conversations I've had with people at my school when they're asking what's in the package I'm carrying. The answer is of course; "Just a tiny head" followed by "No! Don't shake it, it's really expensive!".

 

as i have some bracelets in my hand i show him. (my parent's know my dolls names etc, and i say their names when i buy them stuff)

me: look i am getting siggy more jewelry, to man him up!
dad: you don't buy a man jewelry to man him up.
me: yes you do.

 

My girl has had wonky eyes for a while, and today I decided I should fix it. I was IM with a friend on skype at the same time.

Me: I'm trying to fix her eyes. I HATE putting eyes in D:<
Friend: . . . . . . . . You do realize how weird that sounds right?
Me: xDDDDD oh yeah, I guess it does.

 

Making miniatures for your dolls frequently results in the most awkward sayings:

"Right. The lollipops are coated, the pocky sticks are painted and the popsicles are in the oven."

 

I buy clothes at a secondhand store sometimes, or with coupons, or on sale so it seemed a little wierd when I said, "That dress is only 80 dollars! I might have to get one. Let's see what else I could get..."

 

When Re-stringing= Argh I put the feet on the wrong way round.

 

Is it bad that while reading through these, NONE of them seem bizarre? I mean to an outsider, they would. But man, this seems like normal conversation between me and my friend who has a doll. /giggles

 

Well yes, that's the whole idea of the thread: try to imagine what it all would sound like if you DIDN'T know we were talking about dolls. :P

Here's another one from me:
*on the phone* "No sorry, I can't go with you: tomorrow morning I have to clean and re-assemble my girls. They got sand in their legs."

 

"Wait did her eye go this way or that way!?"

"DAD! DO NOT TAKE ONE MORE STEP! I GOTTA FIND HER EYE!"

Dad: *holds up new doll, doll's foot promptly falls off* ...What did I break?

Me: Nothing her joints are messed up her foot fell off.

"DAAAAD! HELP ME PUT THE EYES IN YOU KNOW HOW TO HOLD THE PLIERS RIGHT!"

"Oh hey mom which eyes look better with this head?"

"Hey look *snicker*"

"Is that a-"

"Yep." - About a guy BJD being naked on a company site with it's bits hanging in the air.

"Oh he's hot...."

"He's a doll mother."

"...Wow."

Me talking to relatives: Oh yeah I just popped her leg off here, arms there, a hand and rearranged it like so it's beautiful ain't it?


And shockingly: "It's so beautiful offering up a few bucks doesn't seem ENOUGH." - Over a doll kimono I was eying. I have taught my mother (and now father) well.

Me: And look at this one.

Mom: Oh my god she is adorable...Wait does she have nipples?

Me: Erm...

Mom: No I mean look at that precise detailing I can see why they cost so much. (I was so proud.)

"Oh no I can't use THAT paint it'd melt the breasts right off."

 

i just enjoy making morbid-sounding FB posts.
"Wooo, found a new head on an online market"
"got fresh eyes for ___ in the mail today"
"digging through the body parts to make random stuff!"

and etc.

 

siead, that is brilliant ^ ^

*showing doll to a flatmate*
FM:what pretty pink hair she has!
*it promptly falls off as she pokes it; she is a mite surprised*
me: yes, I made that wig myself, *replacing the wig* from that stuff, what do you call it..? the stuff you insulate your roof with........?
FM (shocked): ASBESTOS???
me: no, it's like cotton wool... haha, cotton wool hair, I should try that...

 

"I have too many eyes!"

 

*To doll* "Oh, do NOT look at me like that, she's new, she gets to sleep in my bed tonight!"

At the meet last weekend:
"Oh my god! There's a hole in his winky!"

*To mother* "Which do you like better?"
"You're buying ANOTHER ONE?"
"...No, this ones an event head"
"Just a head?!"

"I think I'm just gonna wait and order a whole ton of eyes at once"

*Finishes faceup* "SH*T WHERE DID YOUR EYELASHES GO"

"Will you open the package for me!"
"...It's full of small shoes"
"YES, but how many? What do they look like? HOW small?"

 

Me: "I just blushed her nipples!! Aren't her little pink nipples so pretty??"

*shows her to my husband*

Husband: *stares* "I'm not answering that...* >.>


Another time, I carried around a headless doll body because I didn't have her head yet. Seeing people's looks was quite funny

 

"I think I'll try boiling a hand today..."

 

I think that's my favorite yet.

I guess I'll add this:
"Did you hear that 'clack, clack, clang' sound last night? Yeah, that was an eyeball bouncing across the desk and falling on the base of the lamp."

 

Looked into my bag today in the train, and asked "You girls allright in there?".
Dude sitting across me gave me that "Oooo-kaaaaaayyy..."-look xD

 

"See, I'm gonna get a head from one company, and a body from a different company, and make a hyyyyyybrid!"

 

"by the way mom, they will both come with their weewees,isn't that great!!! "
XD!!

 

I know they're anatomically correct, but they're more lifelike that way!

 

"I decided to saw a piece of the legs off, they're too long."

 

I was in an anime music forum chatting when a friend of mine was sent an offer to her WTB (Want To Buy) thread that she had just posted.

Me: I have to go now, my friend might be buying a body and I said I'd help!

Everyone in the forum: (O___o)

Ryu

 

"Her eyes won't stick to her head! D:"
is the weirdest thing I've said. I think..

 

"I can spend over a 1000 in less than one hour. and I don't feel bad about it"

I never thougt I would be able to say that, nither refaring to dolls nore to clothes, but I am......

"I am one foot short, wheer the hell is it?" --- restinging one of my dolls after blushing.

 

"$300 is actually pretty cheap for a doll"

And of course all the things one says about doll eyes

 

I love this!

"He kicked me in the boob!" (My boy was sitting on my desk and I bent down to fix his shirt and.. -___-;
"Ya know, It's not that bad of a deal...IFree shipping for over 100..."
"FINNNNNNNNGERRRSSSS IN THE MAIL!"( When I got my jointed hands in)

 

"I wanted that head so bad!"

"Damn she's tight!"

 

"we need to meet at the sky train so i can get that head"
