Confessions of the BJD Kind

The BJD hobby can be strange and frustrating at times and at others a wonderful, fun and rewarding past time. Got something you'd like to confess about the hobby? You're in the right place.

I buy my books and music, and pay for my games. I like to find good Kickstarters and I contribute to a few Patreons too. I hate recast owners and I think you and your dolls all suck. Will I bully you? No, but I will exclude you wherever I can. I wish you’d get the message that you don’t belong in the legit doll hobby. Bootleg collecting is not accepted in hobby groups. I’ll never invite any you to a group or a doll meetup. I’m glad many events, forums and groups exclude recasts. Any questions?

I just got a credit card with a far higher limit than I was expecting... the temptation to spend it on dolls is so high!

I care more about how you style your doll and tell their story than how expensive they are. That said, it’s common to see cheap dolls in cheap messy wigs with bad eyes in a blurry photo with a dramatic, badly written Mary Sue story and the owner frustrated that they don’t get more likes. It kind of makes me want to buy a Resinsoul and style, photograph and write a story for them just to prove it’s not actually about the cost of the doll, it’s about what you do with them.

Will trade soul for fairyand centaur in any colour in any condition. Any takers?

If you torrent/download music, movies, books, and other things illegally, you CANNOT use "But the artist isnt getting compensated" arguments in recast debates. It's the same thing, and you are a hypocrite. Just stop.

Back in the day when I joined the hobby, sculpts by K-doll were rather popular and I always wanted one but couldn't get my hands on one. Now, years later barely anyone posts them (sadly including me now I've finally got my hands on my favorite). But seriously, where did all the K-dolls go? ;__;

I used to get Buff and Biff on DOA mixed up all the time. Why are their names so similar?? I keep mistyping and getting which ever one I'm not looking for @_@

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

Sometimes I wonder if DerpyPaws and Alohahooves are a couple. I mean they do everything together, faceups, sewing, photos, meets. They just act generally lovey dovey. Makes me jealous.

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

I can't find any BJDs I want right now, now that I FINALLY have a consistent job and expendable excess income. This is very depressing.

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

WOW. Shit on my doll just because it's not $300+??? I'm new to the hobbie and bought a cheaper >LEGIT< doll to get my toes wet and see if BJD were my thing. Your nasty, elitist attitude towards newbies is disgusting. Go ahead and continue to be rude to people just starting out, it really makes them want to continue being in a hobbie with such rude people! Naw, fuck this. I'll be buying recasts from now on. I hope I can help destroy this community because you deserve it. :)

I'm worried that I'll never find a meet-up group to join in my area. I know there are at least two but neither will let me join. Is it because I'm Trans?

Our Ask is open!

Got two in the queue and then ya’ll on your own again.  Confess your sins, #bjd

I can't help but shake my head at ppl who fawn over the Fairyland pegasus and complain about the price, but are going for it anyway. I mean, hello? Loongsoul released a smiliar pegasus a long time ago and while the waiting times are variating up to 6 months, at least one wouldn't have to worry about poor quality and posabilty. That said, she's easily half the price, nearly only a third. But I guess bilnded Fairyland followers will always be blind and not even look into other companies. :\

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

I'm quite frustrated. The sculpts I love come in normal skin or white and the companies that cast in gray and tan I can't find a sculpt I like.

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

What drama are you people talking about? This is all I see on the tags. People say they see drama, but I see none of it happening. If there is "drama " do tell. As I never see it happening as much as the idiots on the BJD tag complain about it.

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

I'm pretty sure there is a recast Dollshe being sold second hand as legit. The whole doll just seems very "off" to me, from the color to casting quality. But I'm not 100% sure, and I don't want to report somebody that might be innocent and start drama where there is none. I have no idea what to do in situations like this.
