Omg, Omg, OMG!!!

They did it!!! They did the pour!!! Ikon and Stygian and Small and Soft and Mine, Mine, MINE!!!

I am so happy right now. They are perfect! I asked if they could do a fleshy or dark pour for these specific toys and I can't believe they did both! This is such my style, like primordial ooze over a flesh toned layer.

And I heard that the shimmer always surprises everyone so I can't wait to see what they look like in person!

I haven't purchased any new toys in such a long time, too, I was starting to think my buying days were over.

Now to make room in my suitcase.

I don't have room. I don't have enough bags. I am officially tapped out.

Oh well. I'll figure it out.

This would be perfect if it were in soft. 😢 I am trying ever so patiently to wait for the perfect Ikon, but either one drops in a size or firmness I can't use.

This one is a small, but it's in regular firmness and i... i...

I can't, can I? It's so pretty, but I won't be able to use it.

I put in a suggestion a while ago when they were asking for input and I still have hope that my prompt will one day get done. Until then I'm just gonna stare at this beauty.

I really haven't been taking my toys out much these days. I've just been too tired to do much of anything lately.

Yesterday I pulled out 3 random bags and thought that the contents inside looked beautiful together...

Amanita by Fantasy Grove.

Tentafork by Strange Bedfellas.

Aux and Rend by Bat Bites Art.

Sometimes I just like to take my toys out, arrange them, and take photos... that's all. I hope I have enough energy to at least keep this going. If not...

I had a dream a few nights ago where I sold off all my toys for dirt cheap and IMMEDIATELY regretted it. I tried to buy back a few of my pieces and the person wanted to charge me double for them.

The thought of selling has been crossing my mind a lot lately, tbh... a thought I wish would work it's way out. 😕

[mansnovembris]

It's taken me a few days to post this because I just...

Windowshopped the Dread The Empire drop.

Dare I say I feel defeated?

I really wanna purchase from their shop but it's ALWAYS a miss for me in terms of size or firmness. There are/were so many pretty toys, but they're all in regular firmness and that's too firm for me. What WASN'T in regular was in medium or large size and I need a small. When it comes to DTE, I'm always hitting that sweet spot of so close, yet so far.

These beauties were in the last drop and I shuffled through the pages in hopes that my dreamie was there somewhere, but alas...

Flesh colored Ikon and Thunder, my perfect pair and a gorgeous dream pour! Both in small... both in regular firmness.

Dark faded Reaver and Knight, 2 models that interest me but aren't exactly on my list, however, I'd buy if the right pour came along and that pour is this! Soft firnness, too? What more could I ask for?!!

Well... small size. One was medium and the other was I think a large?

I... I mean, I have to have hope it will happen, right? I am so, so tempted to email and make the suggestion, but I DO NOT want to be a pain in the ass and ask too much of a small shop. I also feel like if I DONT ask, it will always be a slight miss.

I dunno, I am torn. I want a DTE toy(s) so bad, but it needs to be the right toy(s).

Would I be annoying to ask them for a suggested item? Would that be seen as pushy? Should I just keep waiting for chance and keep seeing these almost perfect beauties pass me by?

My very first collection photo, done in June of 2023.

Out of the 11, i only kept 6. Out of the 5 original toys I purchased within a 3 day period, my very first toys, I only have 2.

From the top, Sylph and Isonade I sold because they were in medium firmness and while Isonade was ok, Sylph's ridges were a bit too rough for me.

Because I like buying in pairs, I sold them both off and ended up getting dual density (Medium firmness skin with a soft fill) Xeno Isonade and Meigui in its place.

Extra Small Shadow Demon I still have. I purchased the custom to go with my small shadow demon. After I sold the small, I purchased 2 more toys in the same theme.

Small Shadow Demon I sold because it was too large for me, even though I loved the super soft firmness. Also loved the glow, which I didn't get to fully appreciate until I had to do the sale pictures.

Medium Titan, Large Calypso, Small Adventurer, extra small Grick, and small Grick I still have. I can't use medium Titan because it is both too big and too firm. I can't use Small Grick either because it's too large, but I love the firmness in Super soft.

I keep them because I like the 'too large to fit' fantasy and I'm a bit emotionally attached to both, seeing as how they're the first toys I purchased.

Large Calypso is still a grinder fave and one I still can't believe I picked up from my first shop drop grab.

Small Adventure is a favorite, not in use because it's medium firmness and a little too hard, but it gives me body euphoria. the coloration fits my skintone perfectly, and they packed it with gold shimmer.

Bump and Quartz I sold because they were both medium firmness and because I didn't like the color. it was supposed to be black, but it was more of a midnight blue. after I sold both, I immediately repurchased them in a extra soft for Bump and soft for Quartz and I asked that they be poured in the darkest black that they could and it came out great.

Selling my Daybreak. $60, shipping included. It's a small, soft firmness toy. It will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. If you're interested, leave a comment or shoot me a DM.

I was hoping I didn't have to sell it, but if it doesn't work for me, I'm not keeping it. i should have gone for the medium size, I think, but it would have been great if I got it as a beginner toy (or used my toys with a partner).

Oh well.

Dong ideas, dong ideas, dong ideas...

so we have one of my favorite shops, Fiery Faerie! Quality toys, great price, fast shipping, and they are one of the kindest shop owners I have had the pleasure of ordering from. they're super talented for being a fairly small shop!

I ordered my small merman from them about a year ago and I love him! I don't know why I don't talk about him more often, he's actually one of my favorites.

I had asked if they could do a pour like my PPS Calypso so that I could have a match.

They said that, at the time, they hadn't done a wash before, but they would try.

Y'all, what they did was absolute magic!

Would ya just LOOK AT IT!

My favorite part is the concentration of gold going down the base of the shaft.

And tbh, I couldn't be happier with how well it pairs with my Calypso! It obviously wasn't going to be a super match (because that doesn't happen unless it's a batch pour. even if the shop that did it tried to recreate it now, it wouldn't be the same.) But it genuinely looks like it goes together 💕

I love it so much. I've been thinking of getting another since the moment I got this one.

The price is actually really affordable as well, even with the shipping cost coming from overseas (and the shipment came super quick if I remember correctly.)

So now, again, the shop owner is super friendly and quite the character. 😂. we joke that with every pour they do, I get more and more tempted to make my purchase, and it's true. I am pretty loyal to herman, as the other models might not fit my anatomy well, but I still find them pretty.

I have a pretty good idea of what I want as of now. a medium size (I currently have a small) should fit my specs on the larger end but still be manageable, especially if it's in super soft. I am aiming for something dark and ghostly with this one. one of my earlier ideas was a more Koi fish colour, but I've since moved on from that.

I have decided on a 3 colour fade, the tip unpigmented, the base mica black, and...

I can't decide on the middle colour. if the pigment does what I think it will do, the mica pigment will sink into the unpigmented silicone and produce a really cool effect.

I am torn between these five colours:

Ducati 004, Chestnut 006, Malachite 026, Celadon 029, or Dusty Silver 030.

I was pretty sure I wanted Borjuga, but from what I see on a sample toy, the color shows a bit more green.

My inspiration for the colouring is Underworld Nymph, but I don't want to use red. if anything, I think Ducat would be fitting... like I fireball... wait...

did I just make up my mind?

see, that's why I like typing things out. 😂

Now we wait for the idea to marinate a bit and I'll probably be making an order sometime later this month.

Woo Hoo!
