아르테미스 진 Ask Artimis

My name is Artimis Zhin. I was recently adopted by a new mother and really like it here. She lets me read a lot and gives me space. I wish I had more friends though. If you want to know, I am a Crobidoll Yeon-Ho B-Type.

今日の買い物！

Hello everyone! Today I went with my mother to the Dolk Store AND Mandarake! We had a lot of fun, I love Dolk! They really like me, they think I’m cute!

1. Kamen Rider Fourze Foodriod (810円, less than 10 USD), Mandarake has a lot of second hand things. Wow I didn’t know things could get so cheap! They’re even cheaper if the box has been opened. What confuses me is…. The box is opened but… the item is UNTOUCHED. Second hand items in Japan are usually close to mint condition. Maybe a box may be important to a collector, but the item is still the same!!

2. Shirt for Markus! My mother spent a lot on his school boy clothing. Hmmm, but I got a cute sweater! It’s okay! Markus will look cool!

3. KAMEN RIDER METEOR! It was… 2300 yen (around 25 USD). DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS GOES FOR ON THE INTERNET?! it was SUPER cheap because the box was opened. The UNOPENED version was 2600 yen (around 28 USD). But… The item was still untouched. Maybe it matters for collectors a lot…

4. MY SWEATER! I’m going to put it on now, it’s so comfy! All the women at the doll store said it really suited me and that I was really cute in it!

5. Okabe keychain. I don’t really know what this is… It’s for a phone, right?

6. Pants for Markus’ new outfit! Yey! 

[askartimis]

I'm so jealous! My mother and I really want to go to the Dolk Store with you, your mother, and Markus. It would be a lot of fun! Plus, I want my mother to buy me cute things too!

Please like/reblog this if you have a tumblr for your dolls so I can follow you.

I needs more dolls and doll stories on my dash. Maybe it will inspire me to do things.

[askartimis]

Hello, I am Artimis Zhin. Nice to meet you. 

[askminsu]

My mother’s class laughs at me.

I wonder how funny I’ll be to them when I have my katana in their necks.

[askartimis]

How very violent of you...

[askminsu]

I had a photoshoot today. It was with my mother’s friend’s doll Neris. She’s really sweet and fun to cuddle. Even though I’m gay I still like cuddling with girls, they’re very soft.

Being a model is hard sometimes…

[askartimis]

These are all so amazing! It makes me really want to take your picture. You’re such a great model. And that first picture, the look in your eyes is just amazing!

[askminsu]

Thank you so much, Artimis!

I’m trying my best. It was really difficult to model with Neris since she was so pretty and I was afraid I’d look too plain compared to her. 

[askartimis]

You could never look plain! You're so attractive, no one could ever out shine you!

I got a new doll named Markus Lee and I had a mini-photoshoot with him and a girl doll named Neris who belongs to my friend. This is for a photo project for my class.

This is such a great picture! You really are a wonderful model, Markus. You look great!

[askartimis]

I miss you Artimis, your smiling face! Your mother and I plan to let you cuddle the new doll I get whilst we cuddle, it'll be cute! You'll get to cuddle someone your size, but skinner because you're fat.

I miss you too, Aunt Leanne. I can't wait to give Minsu cuddles. It will be great to cuddle someone my own size. I take offence to you calling me fat though, I'm not fat, I am losing weight. 

[askminsu]

My mother met some new friends today or well… Became better friends with people she met in the past. They’re so nice. They thought my name was weird though.

I say their faces are weird.

Some people laugh at me because I’m just an overpriced piece of resin, but I’m worth a lot more than they are. 

[askartimis]

Your name is beautiful, as are you. Don't let them get you down.

I'm glad Aunt Leanne made nice friends. My mother worries about her a lot.

[askminsu]

My mother gave me a haircut.

Sorry my eyes look like they’re staring into your soul, I don’t mean to look like that in all my photos. I’m really a calm guy.

[askartimis]

You look so good! Not that you don't always look good, but I really like your new haircut. 

[askminsu]

My mother and I listened to music this evening. She sings a lot in her room and I think she has a decent voice so I don’t complain.

I generally prefer Korean music because I understand what they’re saying. I don’t really like female vocalists just because I don’t enjoy the higher…

[askminsu]

The Indie bands are good! My mother doesn’t listen to many Korean indie bands, actually. She showed me some Korean Trot and I didn’t really like that…

My mother is a little upset I don’t like Vocaloid music since that’s her favourite genre (she’s very big on what she calls utattemita). 

[askartimis]

Indie Korean music is my favorite. I don't like Vocaloid either, as much as Aunt Leanne tried to convert me.

My mother doesn't listen to much Korean stuff which kind of bugs me. She mostly listens to Musicals and musical about Harry Potter. Some musicals are ok but most of them are quite annoying.

Observations of my mother's music taste

My mother and I listened to music this evening. She sings a lot in her room and I think she has a decent voice so I don’t complain.

I generally prefer Korean music because I understand what they’re saying. I don’t really like female vocalists just because I don’t enjoy the higher key. I prefer lower voices of guys (which has nothing to do with me being gay, don’t bring that up).

My mother is going to show me more songs. I really like KPOP boy groups, they remind me of myself since I’m Korean too.

[askartimis]

Have her show you some indie Korean bands. I'm not a huge Kpop fan but the indie bands are awesome. I agree with liking male groups better, girls can get annoyingly high when they sing.

[askminsu]

New hair and new shirt.

I really like my new shirt, it shows off my arms. I also like my new hair. My mother said something about it being the ‘right’ hair for me. I don’t understand.

[askartimis]

Minsu, you look so… wow! I thought you were attractive before but now… You look absolutely amazing! Stunning!

[askminsu]

Thank you! I’m happy you enjoy my photos.

My mother is still having difficulties with her camera hmm..

[askartimis]

Of course I do, you look so wonderful!

Aw, if I was there I would try and help. I'm very good with cameras.

[askminsu]

I’m usually a nice and friendly person, but I got very angry at my mother today. She stuffed me in a cramped bag with Julian.

Although I really like Julian and think he’s a nice boy, it was really not fun. I got so mad I sat down in my bag to weigh it down more and bother my mother.

Honestly, if you’re going to put me in a bag, at least make it comfortable. It was very dark and stuffy in the bag and I really did not like it.

[askartimis]

Oh the dreaded bag. My mother keeps saying she needs to buy me one. I keep telling her that she does not. Good choice weighing down the bag.

今日の買い物！

Hey, today I went out with my mother and her three friends! They were all really nice, we had so much fun! We went to the Dolk store in Akihabara and then to some cute stores in Nippori.

1. Dress + shirt, I’m happy my mother bought something for herself, it’d be unfair if Markus and I were the only ones well dressed!

2. Skirt/Shorts, my mother really loves frilly shorts/skirts! She was so happy when she bought this, she’s wearing them right now and she’s really happy!

3. Sweets set! A present, for me?! My mother bought me a prop! It’s a display case for sweets! It was only the glass case, but my mother also bought me fake food and plans to buy more later!

4. Fake food for my display case!

5. Wig cap for Markus. He had a lot of trouble with it, but he finally got it on!

6. Wig for Markus! I was surprised to see the Dolk store carried Migidoll things! Markus bought the wig that goes with his mold and I think it looks really nice on him! He should be posting photos of his wig soon….

7. More fake food for my display case!

8. Cool shirt for Markus! It was only 1200円! And it looks really nice on him. He’s wearing it right now with his new wig!

9. New shoes for my mother! My mother has never owned or worn Oxford-type shoes so she was very happy when she bought these. They look really good on her and she says they’re really comfortable!

10. Nyanpire Sweater! This is for cosplay, but I think my mother can wear this more often. She’s wearing it now and she loves it a lot!

[askartimis]

I'm so jealous :-{ I wish my mother and I could have gone too. This all looks so fun!

[baektaro56]

My doll’s name shall be Markus “Minsu” Lee

I will be using the name Apollo though for him somehow, perhaps a stage name? He actually has a Korean name since he’s Korean, what a concept! He’s only half Korean, hence the non-Asian second name he has.

For some reason he…

[askminsu]

My mother says she’s very happy you’re reading real books. What’s yaoi? I’ve never heard of it, is it a new genre of books?

My mother also says I’m going to see you in December, I’m really excited!

[askartimis]

Yaoi… How do I explain this… It is also called boys love. It is books and manga and anime about gay boys. Most of it is really cheesy or really hard core almost just porn. Our mothers both read a lot of it. I personally prefer more classic literature, but some, and I mean some, are not that bad. Really? I knew your mother was coming but didn’t know you were too! I am incredibly excited to meet you in person! I can hardly wait!

[askminsu]

Oh…. really? My mother has some of that in her room. Maybe I’ll read it. She has a book about Kise Ryouta! If you didn’t know, he’s my favourite model. I want to be just like him. He’s a good basketball player too!

I can’t wait to meet you either! Of course I’d come! I don’t think my mother would ever leave me alone. She wants to take me everywhere!

[askartimis]

Just be careful, some of it isn't good. Yes, I know who Kise Ryouta is. He is very good. I think you are more attractive though. I'm sure you will be better than him if you just work hard.
