I’m really glad for those of u who like the molded hair Daring but to me it’s 1000x worse than the painted tights...it means they don’t match other dolls and it really bothers me, also they end up looking more like action figures than dolls to me...idk it’s bothered me since I was little

I wasn’t planning on getting him tho so it’s not that big a deal as long as it’s ONLY Daring, if we ever get a Sparrow doll and he has molded hair I’ll be pissed tbhhhh

Argh that post has just brought back memories of the girl I met in college

Like I told her about everything, all my mental issues and family issues and she was like the first person to ever act like a lot of it was a real problem, and I wasn’t just overreacting. She told me she’d be there for me and support me and help me through when I felt bad...so I let my guard down and allowed myself to rely on her a little

Buuut of course when it actually came to doing anything she’d stop responding to my texts, ignore me, snap at me or get annoyed etc. She once ignored me for an entire week while we were off college, she said she’d text and just didn’t at all...I was worried sick that something might have happened to her and then when I asked her why she did it just shrugged. Maybe I expected too much, it’s not stuff I expect from everyone though. She promised things she wasn’t willing to do.

Never ever tell someone with mental illness you’ll be there for them if you won’t, never ever tell them you’ll support them if you won’t. Don’t promise them you’ll go the extra mile and then get angry at them when they want you to follow through

I wish they'd at least keep the pathetic, transphobic clips from South Park's new season to it's actual airing time as opposed to showing the clips halfway through Friends...I don't wanna see that train wreck

I get rather fed up of celebrities (and anyone really) who prefer not to label their sexuality saying that it's somehow redundant, counterproductive or inherently bad to label oneself Many people find comfort and community in labels, many prefer to label themselves, and it's not anyone's job to tell anyone else how they should and shouldn't express their sexuality or anything else, it's okay to not want to label it, but it's just as okay to want to.

I can't stop thinking about when my mum said "well I class asexuality as..." in such an "im so smart" kimd of tone, I had to interrupt her, it was all I could do not to scream at her because she does it all the time...."well I class transgender as..." "well I class bisexuality as..." "well I class bigender as..." and I have to tell her that SHE doesn't get to fucking decide? she's so far up her own arse that she thinks the only opinion that matters is her own, and therefore she gets to define people's gender and sexuality FOR them I'm somewhere on the ace spectrum, but no way am I telling her after what she said about asexuality, she'd be telling me what it is and how I feel and I'm not sure if id be able to keep my mouth shut, I was terrified enough after I told her that it's not up to her, and I think the only reason she didn't scream at me is because all my brothers were there

My mother refuses to ever listen to me honestly Like, she'll talk to me and tell me I'm 'clever' for as long as I'm agreeing with her, but the second I disagree or attempt to correct her when she uses horribly inaccurate (and often offensive) terms she turns, she gets annoyed, she snaps or even shouts at me, she talks down to me as if I know nothing and she knows everything and then gives me the silent treatment. Honestly it's a wonder that I managed to form my own opinions at all when she's treated me this way my whole life, and even now if I say I like something and she puts it down I feel terrible, I feel ridiculous, because as far as she's concerned, if it's not her opinion then it's wrong...which is what she's taught me through beating down any alternative thinking from what she thinks

Idk how people can say guy friends are better or 'less drama' because my only experience with guy friends is attempting to hold a conversation with someone who actively avoids learning about your interests, yet expects you to be knowledgable about his, who offers no amount of comfort in bad situations, who literally doesn't care enough to ask you anything about yourself but will bend over backwards to tell you all about how his life is so awful and tragic because some girl won't message him back and that he 'deserves a girlfriend' 

Like did it ever occur to you that it's not because she's a bitch it's because you don't give a shit about anyone but yourself? Maybe if you climbed out your own arse and talked about something other people liked you'd be able to hold a conversation with a girl? 

 These aren't even the 'bad' ones I'm talking about, they're not the ones who threw things at me or told me to go and die because I was ugly and no-one loved me, these aren't the guys who would steal my stuff and laugh at me, these are the so-called good guys, these are the ones who claim to be my friends then make no effort to sustain a friendship or even know shit about me but expect me to put effort into knowing them

,Thoughts on Way Too Wonderland (spoilers, obviously)

I. LOVED. IT.

First of all, I’m so proud of Apple, okay, I have to admit that I’ve been amongst the group believing she was being selfish (I wanna clarify that I never hated her or anything like that! I like that she was misguided) but that she admitted it and what she did just...aah I loved it, even if it is a shame that it’s removing the whole royal/rebel thing, for me that was the best way they could’ve done it. I was very uncomfortable when Raven signed, and legit teared up when she was acting so out of character, but it was, imo, resolved pretty decently

I’m 100% on board that Apple is totally into Raven, everything she said, the look on her face when Dexter hugged Raven, it’s totally there...I don’t think Raven knows it though. I still don’t know if I particularly ship it, but I hope it becomes explicitly canon (and if it does I will hop on board so wholeheartedly it’ll capsize) because it would just be so amazing, so fantastic, and now that marriage has been legalized in the USA there’s not really anything holding them back, I hope that’s the direction they’re taking this in (and if so I will buy Apple’s doll so Raven has her gf and her bf cos she’s super mega bi and so is Kitty did you see her collar? Bi flag!)

I’m a stickler for the whole “I’m no man, I’m a girl” type reveal, so that was fun, but I kinda wish they weren’t setting up Darling with someone, I’d much prefer to think of her as gay. I’m also not totally into her voice, but I think that’s just bc I pictured it differently, so I’ll get used to it. I need to hear more about her though, and for the record I’m completely into the idea of her being trans

I looooooved Courtly, like I really liked her as a villain, her accent and design and mannerisms were grand (I’m assuming the fluctuation in her accent from cockney to a kind of neutral accent were intentional, they seemed to be, if so I like it, if not get your shit together, voice actress aha) she was fun and evil but not a petty bully like a lot of ‘villains’ in these things are doomed to be, and honestly I feel tied to any characters with any kinda British accent in American shows so there’s that. She’s bad and was in the wrong but I like her.

AND OH BOY WONDERLAND Wonderland was awesome, the doll designs made me a little worried, because neon colors and all-over-the-place designs aren’t exactly what comes to mind when I think of wonderland (Briar and Raven are pretty tho) instead it’s more, sig Lizzie and Bunny, Victorian and steampunk and classic Lolita type aesthetics (like Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland) BUT I loved the depiction of it, similar to the book, without pulling everything right out of it...and hey, even some English accents! Just fab

I re-heeeaaalyy wanna see more Bunny and Alistair (mostly Bunny) bc I do like them (obviously there’s an issue that it’s one more white character and one probably-white character, and they’ve had very little development, but I think they have potential) I really like Faybelle, I like that they’re still playing on the ‘wanting to help and be involved but also really wanting to follow her destiny’ stuff, it’s an interesting internal conflict to have going on. I like that Briar still told the truth, even though she didn’t technically need to, and I really liked Brooke’s reveal at the end

And boy am I excited to see what the evil queen’s gonna do! I mean, I’m worried for Raven, but excited! Also the animation was superb, I always love the way EAH is animated but they really stepped it up with WTW and I thought it was just breathtaking, so pumped for more of that
