Artificial Angels

Welcome to funny photos of animals, ramblings about games (mostly Final Fantasy XIV), and chatter regarding ball jointed dolls (I am firmly pro-artist)I will be using the following tags to help you curate your experience.  #bjd (for dolls), #ffxiv (for game stuff), #drunk rp (that is what it sounds like), and #critters (for animals).

It will be about four months before I have anything to show for it, but...

I ordered a doll.

Not just a quick pick, either. Okay, the head was full impulse (good thing as it sold out in one damn day), the the rest was not. I reasearch it. I dug into resin comparisons, neck dimentions, overall height, all of the old overcomplicating I used to do. It was *lovely*. Then I chose her wig, eyes, and plotted out her vibe and color palette.

It has been a very, very long time. Over a year, easily. Now I need to find all my faceup supplies.

Just something about this shade of pink with this skin color that just makes both POP. Might be biased tho because I love hot pink shades.

I think I'm going to tweak the wig a bit more to add some loose dreads to the left side (her right) of the wig since it just looks too flat to me. This is only the second time I've made a dreadlock wig, so I'm still learning best practices. xD; I wonder if I crocheted the roving or braided it if I might get a better texture in the felting process... P:

Observe the blepping Wombat.

[glyndarling]

Once upon a time I had an insurmountable need to visit the Humane Society. While there, I met the rolly baby above. (Please ignore any audio, I was having a Bad Voice Day[tm].) She is seven months old and had the placeholder name "Wombat".

I woke up in the middle of the night, ladt night, and she way bouncing on my knees. Her name is still Wombat.

Downloaded an old, but new-to-me MMO last night. Just something to putz around with when I need a break from FFXIV and ESO. Booted the bitch up to see whats what this morning.

I already had a character.

I remember NONE OF THIS.

‘Tis the season! Scaredy Cat is popping up around the internet again. I am amazed that so many people continue to love it after I finished it 4 years ago. Thank you so much! <3

For those of you who love Scaredy Cat, mini books are available for purchase in my shop!

So frustraiting! Why is it that I look at myself and think, "uegh" BUT I look at women built like me and am all "Daddy is hungry"? It makes no sense.

Questioning my life choices. I live in a world where I, unironically, hear myself saying, "Azura, stop sniffing Mara's butt. She doesn't like it."

Maybe I shouldn't have named my cats after fictional dieties...

Friend group chats are fun. Today one of my friends, who keeps pet crayfish, found babies in a tank that was supposed to be a males only. No choice but to empty out the whole tank to fish out the babies of unknowable origins. But lo and behold, there was a culprit: one teeny tiny little female had somehow escaped containment, evidently specifically going out of her way to break into this all male tank to get railed by like 15 males twice her size. Possibly completely different breed, too. Monsterfucker supreme.

So for a good solid hour or so, the whole group chat was focused on. slutshaming this one specific little crustacean. With like 300 babies.

Living her best life.

i just don't think that people should have to disclose their deepest and most life-ruining traumas as a requirement to write about sensitive topics

Fun on Public Transit!

My city has a very robust public transit system. I do recognize and appreciate this fact. Sometimes, though, I get home with stories...

I am on my way to work. I pull the stop signal and start scooting out to stand and exit. I notice a woman go to the front and presume she is deboarding as well. Unusual as I am typically the only one for my stop. That us when I catch what she is saying. She is i forming the driver that it isn't her stop.

She did not do this at any other stop in the last ten minutes.

She did NOT pull the cord by accident. (I know as I pulled it.)

Strange.

The driver responds quietly and I can't hear his side. She looks over her shoulder at the man seated across the aisle from me. "He isn't getting off, either."

The bus is navigated to my spot and I haul myself toward the exit. The driver speaks yet again and this time the woman turn and looks directly at me. Standing, as you recall, by the door waiting for a full stop so I can get myself out of Doge.

"Okay," she huffs, exasperation carrying her voice like a battle cry, "but I don't need this stop!"

At this point I am stepping off onto cement and am striding away to the crosswalk. I have to wonder, is there any context in what the driver said that makes that not an egocentric shit show? I dearly hope there was.

I know that HRT gives you secondary sex characteristics in one direction or another, but we HAVE to stop telling nonbinary people that they “can’t pick and choose.” Of course, you can’t tell your testosterone that you’d rather not grow chest hair, but there are things you can do!

You could go on T so your voice drops and start shaving so you don’t grow a beard. You could start HRT and then stop once you get the permanent changes you like. You can pursue sterilization instead of bottom surgery. You can get top surgery without being on T. You can go on E and work out a bunch to bulk out your muscles. You can pursue laser hair removal or electrolysis to remove unwanted hair, with or without HRT. You could even just start hormones to see if you like it and then stop if it isn’t to your taste.

Obviously, you can’t order secondary sex characteristics a la carte, but we have to stop being so awful to nonbinary people. We should discuss the options we have, not shut down the conversation with “that’s what you get.”

this 2020 research paper is all about HRT options for non-binary people. it's what convinced me to start HRT, because, indeed, i could "pick and choose".

Introduction: To date no standardized hormonal treatment protocols for non-binary transgender individuals have been described in the literat
