@Starry: Aww, well I'd be happy to help you get stuff if there's still things you're interested in!!
They've made it a little easier with the market stalls you can get on Harv's Island - you can customize furniture to get alternate colours! Not as much trading required, but so, so many bells xD

I just caught the last bug I needed, the golden stag! So I've got Bugs, Fish, and Fossils done, it's just sea creatures and art I need to finish!


@Wildfire: My day's going okay, pretty quiet and now it's almost over!! I guess this was posted like 7 hours ago so at that time I was just starting work xD

I had a little luck with the orbs and crates, although I got a bunch of duplicates I don't need xD There's still one more item I wouldn't mind having, but I think I'm gonna hold off on spending any more Ohms for now.

Oh, the BJD stuff, yeah xD
I usually try not to buy pieces, because finding bodies can be a real pain (skin tone matching between different companies is tricky). The recent purchases were two heads and a body, and in this case the body I bought matches one of the two heads I bought (same company, same size)
The other head is a second face for a character I'm already working on - basically he'll have two different looks, and the second head will actually be easier to skin tone match a body for, thank goodness.

I really should be focusing on getting bodies for the "floating heads" I have, since there's still 4 of them xD I think what's slowing me down now is a combination of trying to colour-match the heads to bodies I like the look and size of.
The other thing I should really be working on is figuring out what the heads who currently have blank faces are going to look like. A couple of them I've been fussing over trying to figure out since like 2015...

@Anarchist Beauty: Now that I know exactly what I'm looking for, I can flip through my screenshots again

So far I'm not seeing any trace of them, even from other people's avis that I saved for inspiration. I'm starting to wonder if they were either an item that was added fairly soon before the site shut down or if they were an older item that was maybe daily chance or something - but I've asked in the FB group and will keep hunting!

@Anarchist Beauty: Ooh, those. I don't think those were commons, they're pretty detailed. I'll keep poking around my screenshots and I'll ask the Survivours group if they recognize those =)

@Anarchist Beauty: So I was just poking around in Dashing Kicks, and realized the Chunky Heels remind me a lot of an item I think was on Ernya xD

I'm in a FB messenger group of "Ernya Survivors", maybe I'll reach out to them and see if they know about these gothic wedge heels you mentioned!

@Starry: That's awesome!! In New Horizons I have my bedroom upstairs, a study, a music room, a living room, my basement is done up like a lab, and my main room I typically change with the season.

Thankfully my boyfriend is also a lover of Halloween, so when we finally move in together someday I won't have to hide my Halloween stuff


@Wildfire: I... don't really wanna pursue this any further. Gun violence is already a particularly sore spot with me, and someone was recently shot and killed within blocks of where I live...which is an extremely rare occurrence where I live...

@Totalanimefan: All good! I'll try and be clearer next time too, sorry about the confusion!

@Wildfire: I suppose it's all perspective, although personally I don't see how a gun can be anything but a tool for killing, I don't see how it can be used for anything else.
Considering the episode of the Sandman I just saw about making everyone be honest....the idea of nothing but honesty all the time really creeps me out right now. Sincere, yes, but sometimes lies are a way of protecting ourselves or others.

That did get very deep very fast...something lighter and fluffier now please xD

Ohh, doing a logo? That's really cool! Ooh, painting commission, what are you painting? And ooh, for what holiday? Halloween? Christmas/winter holidays?

This "bought an expensive hobby item" from friends thing is BJDs (Ball-Jointed Dolls). And I actually just did it again a couple more times after posting that xDDD
My first doll was bought from a new friend who had been having trouble finding a job, and I fell in love with one of her boys. Then I did it again when another friend was moving, "adopted" two of her boys 'cause she needed funds for moving (although she misses them so much, I'm gonna give them back to her)

And I just did it again with a friend who had a house fire and needed to sell a doll head for some emergency funds...and the same friend who was moving just sold me a body for a head I bought from another friend

Also this hobby seems to have no limits. No matter how often I tell myself "no new dolls" they still have a way of coming home... and I have so many that aren't "finished"... D:
