Pebbles has a body! And I finally named her. This is the chibi sleeping lilin I modded a while back. The wig is pretty much temporary, as is most of her other stuff, but I’m starting to like the slim mini size. I’m seeing her more as a taller versions of my yosd sized ones, and she’s going to be the advisor of Jelly. That’s about as far as I got for her character wise. I just want to dress her in mori/dark mori things.

 Also, people keep telling me how sad she looks, and how she looks like she’s going to cry, and I just think she looks like she has a lot on her mind, and she’s bad at hiding it. And maybe also because I don’t define her by her sadness. If I did that, she’ll get so sad and ungrounded that she’s nothing anymore. And that’s not what I want. She’s much more than that.

I keep thinking of this line/feeling I have with regards to someone I knew:

You thought she was sad and beautiful, too much for this world.
When in fact
She has floated away because she didn’t want to ground herself in anything.

Where clearly "you" refers to me. Haha. But yeah, I don't want to romanticise Pebbles' sadness, nor do I want to make her just sad and beautiful. She's supposed to be wise and thoughtful too, I think. I mean, she is an advisor to Jelly after all.

I realise I am rambling but I have thoughts on her, her sad face, and sadness/ungrounded in reality thinking in general, and I’m not very good at putting them coherently together.

Here's some more photos of the same shots but with different edits:

Doll collection thoughts

Lately I've been rethinking my collection. Not that I am going to sell anyone or anything, but just in general.

Firstly, I got myself more into the yosd side of the collection, whereas I was a mostly SD collector previously. So now I have Cypher (26cm), Jelly (30cm) and 2 Unoa faceplates. Oh yeah, I've not mentioned it on the blog but I bought a Unoa Lilin Roar faceplate. Haha. And both Unoa faces are chibi lilins (one is the sleeping face that I modded, the other is the roar/naughty face). So initially I was thinking of getting them Chibi bodies. But the modded one I have is WS so it's hard to find her a body. And recently I've been looking at all the cute MSD clothes on etsy, and I caved.

I'm getting a Unoa 1.5 girl body for her. Deep breath. Haha. So now I will actually have an MSD, a size I never wanted to own, all because I want the small side of my collection to have variety in height. Lol. So yeah, anyway, the lilin roar will get a chibi body, I think, and the modded lilin will get the 1.5girl body.

With that said, the money that went into getting the MSD body for the still nameless girl could have funded 90% of Freddie's body. BUTTTTT, I keep convincing myself it's hard to find a MSD body with a Buff headback (because the normal 1.5 unoa headback won't fit Chibi faceplates), and I decided that the nameless Lilin will get her body before Freddie. (Yeaa, I'm sorry, Freddie. But SD16G bodies are much easier to find).

And, besides a body, the poor nameless girl still has no name, no wig, no clothes (at all, haha, cos I don't own MSDs). So much unknowns! Well, we'll see. I'm very keen on mori clothing for her, but that means I have to spare some money to get her an outfit first.

Also, Freddie is the only one needing a body, but I keep rethinking my SD collection to see if there's anyone I can sell off to make space. I don't remember if I've wrote this before, but I keep coming back to Nat. And for a few times, I've taken him out and placed him back because I decided I still want to keep him. Today was another one of those days. But the good thing about today is, I think I finally found some semblance of a dressing style that I'm happy with him, and would be happy to find more clothing for him in this style.

Sorry for the bad photo which I made weirder with photoshop. Haha. I'm using the old camera. But yeah, the dressing style of tank tops, shorts/skirts and an oversized light jacket with a choker kind of works. I'm especially interested in finding a black ribbon to make him better chokers, or buy one of those 90s grunge necklace/choker things. I think they sell rings with that kind of pattern, so it'll make a good necklace for him.

Anyway, I don't know, we'll see how things go. I'm currently more interested in the non-SDs, haha. But it sucks cos they're strange sizes and I don't have much clothing for them.
