Aug. 25th, 2018 10:32 pmApologies for I have not read back much on my reading list today and will treat everyone to my mostly pointless comments later! Just wanted to share this: Brady was unpacking and I was ... sitting on the couch being useless and in pain because I didn't even get any work done. In fact, I was on Etsy looking for BJD wigs because the idea is to make a Nora (heroine of the Science Fantasy Epidemic Intelligence Service story that needs a goddamn name) doll and her hair is immensely finnicky. LB thought I was complaining about a human wig at first and I was like no, I could make my own HUMAN wig, dyeing and cutting those is easy, I used to cosplay, but for doll heads ...
Anyway, I laugh and send him a link to what I'm looking at, we're talking on Hangouts while in different rooms like people who have a much bigger apartment, but in this case it's because the fans are loud.
Yes so apparently despite having looked over my shoulder at pictures for ages and listening to me complain about having to sell an organ to afford one and oh wait all my organs are broken, he missed the memo on how "1/3 size" is actually a substantial size! Which turned into expected fussing about where I would ever PUT such a thing, but at least it was not my mom, who would just be throwing a fit because my mother hates dolls (and yet indulged me with more than one Madame Alexander as a child ... I have no idea what happened to them, I believe my parents sold them to pay for cancer treatment, and they wouldn't have sold for what they retail at because of the fact that I played with them when I was very small and only treated them carefully as I got older).
It's turned out funny and now he's really excited about getting to learn how to make those size doll clothes, because he sews very well, but I nearly had a heart attack. Like but you definitely said this was okay! Multiple times over the years even! He definitely was not listening, at least not the most recent time which was like a week ago*, which happens because he is both HOH and have ADHD combination type and that is a failing on my part but the entire exchange was amusing.
And I'm still lost on why the bear head exists or why someone would buy it for the price of an entire doll.
* ETA: It was actually ten days ago.

Me: why is this a thing anyone would ever need https://www.etsy.com/listing/570257889/13-scale-bjd-size-not-human-size-bear
Him: ... what a good question
Me: I just wanted to look at NORMAL DOLL HAIR
Him: I mean I'm not entirely certain why anyone would NEED a two-foot-tall ball-jointed doll, either, but
Me: are you joking right now or
Me: like I cannot tell if affectionate mocking or if you're actually asking that because if that's actually a question ... um
