i found this funny, really. because my first thought was... 'but, why would I do that?!!'
Tumblr media
... then I proceeded to swing my new dong around like a helicopter.
i say this to say... I just post pretty dong and dong related thoughts. this isn't a sexy blog at all and I wonder if the subject matter might have given anyone that impression.
This is literally my *in use* content:

*just a little kiss on the tip*
Now that I've had some more time to sit with it, I do like the whisps... I like that it's concentrated under the medial ring. i like the feathering, especially up close and with good lighting (which I don't have access to much so I didn't get a good look last night). i like the dip in the back around the lower bulge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I still don't like the front and that hard line, but I'll get over it 😂. it's not all that bad. I will say, after doing a good 360, the only part I'm not thrilled about is the front, and I actually do like the other sides.
Tumblr media
My favorite...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also... supersoft was a very good choice. i could see someone who likes more texture really digging medium (couldn't be me) and I think I would have liked soft as well, but SuperSoft, for my body and preferences, is just... chef's kiss. I am definitely a super soft bebe.

Freyr from OwOToyz came in and... hm... honest opinion (screaming into the void)
Tumblr media
it's not love at first sight, sadly. I'm kinda iffy on the fade and that it's more whispy and has a hard line and not marbled. I asked if they could do a marble fade like my Valor and sent photos and they said they could.
Tumblr media
I don't even think it's the fact that it's more whispy than it has a definitive line in both the front and back of they toy that reminds me too much of a split, which I don't care for. i cover the split or turn it to the side with more fade, and I'm good.
Tumblr media
they didn't send a preview photo like they did the last time, which I was kind of excited for. I was hoping I would be able to see it before hand, but I got a notification that the label was created after a week and was like... oh shit. it's on its way? then 2 days later, I got the package. the tracking number still says label created, not that it's been picked up or shipped or delivered.
Tumblr media
Now that that's out the way, I freaking love the sculpt. it's so detailed. the veining and ripples of muscle? the tip? the medial ring? gorgeous.
Tumblr media
I got super soft this time around. I figured I love my Kitalpha in SuperSoft, and my Ss Gherkin is a surprise fave. this thing is so much squishier, holy shit. it's so gummy, but not tacky. I'm not sure about in use, but in hand? this thing is addicting. i could squish and slap it around all day. i think I would have been fine with just soft as well.
it's a leaner. it leans from side to side and topples over, which... i don't mind.
Tumblr media
Customs are something I think I won't be doing any more of. I think I am way too anal about things and it's not fair to the shop that I am over anxious about the details. hell, I may just need a little more time with it and I'll probably like it.
Tumblr media
A family photo. Overall, I really do love OwOToyz. I think they're underrated and I'd really love to see them do some more experimental pours.

Possible next model. Not sure. I kinda would love some input if anyone out there floating in the void has any, but I'm also just thinking out loud, here...
Pip:
Tumblr media
+Was always a love at first sight. I don't have any models with this shape.
-It might be too large in it's current smallest size. The shops that obtained the models don't really seem to do a dark color way I like.
Isonade:
Tumblr media
+i have in a small size, medium firmness and it's one of my favorite models. Medium size, soft firmness might be what I'd consider to be *perfect*.
-medium is $120. i am not prepared to spend over $100 on a diblo.
Throgul:
Tumblr media
+I love the shape, and the fact that it has piercings. I believe it's an Orc model, which I don't have. Could possibly have a match with my lava Zayns. They do supersoft and are pretty great at doing prompts. The size I need is only $55
-its smallest size is still on the cusp of what I'm comfortable with.
Hjalna:
Tumblr media
+one of those 'love at first sight ' models. Only a micro or mini is needed, which is usually under $60. Would make a nice addition to my dominion theme (angels and such) if I can get a dark coloration, at least on the bottom winged half.
-hard to get a coloration I vibe with and I keep missing out on drops when they do.
So many diblos, so little space and monies. 😭

...it may not be the near clear.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
I emailed the 3 shops. lucky as hell that all 3 are helping me out and gave me a lot of info and were actually really nice about my situation, which is more than I can say for my doctor.
all 3 use the same product. it could be the mold release. maybe the pigment. maybe something was mixed into the silicone (to adjust viscosity). at this point, I'm at a complete loss.
I asked my doctor if it was possible to have a silicone allergy and he's like... "no, that's super rare." I then mentioned that the silicone was used around certain areas and... ugh. "well, it's not unheard of to have a sensitivity, especially in sensitive areas, but still not common. I would just stop using it in those areas if it causes issues." 🧐
then I remembered... I've used a diva cup for years with no issue and I literally have a silicone eyelet in my septum and also have had them in my ears, no problem.
I could have said that, but dumb me for wanting to be honest in the hopes of better care and getting judged, all the same.
I sent a second message to the 2 shops that have the items I'm having issues giving them more information. I've read the PDF on the link they all provided to the near clear manufacturer, but granted... maybe I should just say fuck it. I've already decided I won't be buying anymore near clear items. I just...
I haven't seen anybody on any platform state that they have any issues with them. it can't be just me, right? I swear I should get a fucking medal for all the problems I have that "I shouldn't have" but do. makes me think it's all up in my head...

Oh hell...
it's definitely the Near Clear.
I took some time away and then slowly inserted them (hur hur hur) back into my collection and sure enough...
one seems to be ok. that one feels different than the other that's currently causing issues. the one causing issues is the one I was having weird mouth feels with that, in hand, feels more like the one that I am currently trying to get rid of.
I don't want to sell this one, though. It's too damn pretty and I won't be able to get it to look as nice without near clear. plus, if I got a replacement , it would be my THIRD same model toy and I still haven't gotten rid of the first one. I will probably just take it out of my lineup and only use it with protection (again, hur hur hur).
I finally sent a message to the 3 shops to see if I can get more info on the type of near clear they use and if they are all the same, all different, or if maybe the 2 I'm having problems with are the same, since again, only 2 of the 3 are an issue.
I'm also gonna go ahead and take NC completely out of my buy list, which... SUCKS because I love NC with colorshifts so much.
Tumblr media
So that's just gonna make everything that much harder. I have way too many limitations now.
... because, of course.

Not gonna lie, I sometimes get discouraged when I see a cute model I haven't seen before and go to check the measurements of what's available and they don't have my size.
Tumblr media
As with clothes, as with shoes, now add silicone toys to the list. So is a neverending theme. Granted, this is probably the first time in my adult life where something wasn't *small* enough...

Just a little nonsensical ramble.
... ordered le peen peen from OwOToyz.
The owner is such a gem and it makes me super comfortable in my purchase. they still have one of the rejected versions of my valor on hand so they're gonna do a color match with that and go from there.
part of me thinks this may be the last toy I purchase for a while, but I always say that and then up and buying another one.
Tumblr media
I just got finished matching every single one of my toys to fantasy characters and I'm now more interested in drawing them and getting in some detail, which... scares the SHIT out of me, since I haven't had the passion to draw in years.
it's gonna be bad, I just know it.
also, I was finally able to take out all of my dongs and do a group and theme shot and I realize I have a pretty decent collection in variety and colour scheme. It all fits in a way. Even the neon bright babies.
Still debating the Scylla, and I probably will until I see the newest pours. Still debating Pip in that... I am going against my usable size, even in the smallest range, unless they add a smaller size or adjust the current measurements. Also, it's not lost on me that the 2 shops that will be re-releasing it don't really do a lot of darker pours and even when I made a suggestion on their post asking for inspiration, I felt kinda foolish asking for something dark when the majority was bright, rainbows, and dessert like.
I love those styles, I just can't bring myself to collect them in fear of overbuying once I've established that theme into my current collection.
ugh. brain itchies.

I may do a very irresponsible thing, and I should be stopped...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hear me out, hear me out... what if I got a super soft, medium version of my soft small Mermann? I would ask if they can do a lighter wash of gold over the fade this time, or maybe even try to concentrate the wash to the underside (and base?). I think it will still look amazing!
Tumblr media
should I do this?
no.
will i do this?
I can't for sure say no.
Tumblr media
I WILL be getting one of these as soon as I get a message back from the shop owner...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm trying to see if they will be able to recreate the pour they did for my Valor, which is just a pink shaft, marble fade to midnight black. should be simple, but I want to be sure.
Tumblr media
I'm thinking super soft for this as well. My only other equine model, Kitalpha, is super soft and a bit smaller than this, circumference wise, but it's really smooth. This one has a lot of texture.
I've all but given up in the idea of getting a Scylla. I just can't gather if I would even enjoy using it due to the shape. it's so pretty to look at though... which mean I guess I haven't totally given up.
Tumblr media
I find that all of the models I've been iffy about have been some of my favorites. Kitalpha, Valor, Cassius, and Kyberwyrm are all out of my norm as far as shapes go, but I'll be damned if I don't reach for those first...
eh, fuck it. why not? worse that can happen is I don't like it, and then I can either keep it as a display or attempt to sell it. Depending on a few factors, Scylla tend to do ok for resales.

With my new additions here, I've been thinking about the few models I'm still wanting* as well as the ones I'm debating on trying to replace.
I'll probably keep the medium firmness models. I'd only have to replace 4 if I really wanted to, and while 2 would be easy to do since they're simple made to order, the other 2 come from a shop where it's difficult to get the right size, firmness, match, and pour. plus they only do drops.
and there's also a bit of... diversity in having at least a few models of a different firmness available. it does make a good lineup in a sense, as the medium firmness ones I have are narrow and smooth, narrow and textured, thick and a little texture, thick and a lot of texture. I may just have to figure out the best way to use them. I mean, hell, there is a toy I've been struggling with for months and I JUST figured out that if I turn the damn thing around, it's great, so there you go.
Tumblr media
As for the toys I want, I've been longing for a Scylla, but it intimidates me. it's one of the few models I think I'd get no use from as a mini, and the price goes up double in small and beyond.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Odette is soOoOo pretty, but I have so many grinders already.
I'm debating a model from MTW. it caught my eye when it came out a few months ago, but I haven't really thought about it since. i recently saw someone make a post about one they got from the last drop and I've been suckered in all over again. need the perfect pour, and I have one. I may try to suggest it for another drop if they ask for suggestions.
Tumblr media
and then there's Pip. ugh... I've wanted one from first sight but didn't get it when it was active in the shop because at the time, the smallest size would have been too much. at this point, I'm willing to take a chance on it either way and wouldn't mind having it just for show. I think the new shop that took it over is reworking the measurements?
Tumblr media
the only problem is that... this isn't a shop i normally purchase from. technically, it's 2 shops that purchased the model, so I think both will do their own pours of this model. they seem to mostly do Squishies, which I don't buy, but also, their pour style and colors are more bright and cute and other than my Skorpi and Claudettes, I don't really have that.
i think they do customs, but I have a feeling I'll have to wait a long time before I'm able to get one because of the high demand.
also, I know how I am with customs and how anxious they make me. do I really need to do that to myself for a model I might not even be able to use?
Tumblr media
Anyway, I'm just ranting. tbh, I should just end it all here since my little carryon luggage is now full to the brim.

They're here.
Now... where do I begin? First, my Gherkin.
Tumblr media
Small, super soft, and I'm already calling this coloration Slender Man. 😂. Super soft is freaking addicting to squish! It's super tacky, more so than my other super soft items. But I LIKE IT! i would be happy just squishing it in my hand and nothing more, tbh... a very dangerous thing to know.
Tumblr media
Isonade is unbelievable unless you see it in person. I love how the black is only sort of washed over the clit and lips and you can see the white through it. it's so ghostly and whispy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also wasn't expecting the shimmer. it's a beautiful dark blue shimmery pigment that's almost layered underneath. Can I take a good photo of it?
Tumblr media
No.
I am so happy with this order, and even though I was worried I'd get hit with buyers remorse for not planning on getting anything from the drop, I am so happy I decided to do so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, I now have a slight problem, because of course I would... I really like soft. I really, really, REALLY like super soft. I'm beginning to realize that I don't like medium as much as I thought. Thankfully I don't have many models in that firmness, but it has me thinking about the possibility of replacing a few of the medium firmness models that i don't use a lot with soft or super soft. 😭
That's somewhere further down the road and tbh, I might just suck it up. i have no luck selling any of my other models to even seriously consider replacing new ones.
Tumblr media
Here is my two isonade grinders together. I think they make a super cute couple. 🖤🤍 + 🩷🤎

Just a small post about some HPE items still in stock that I really like, starting with
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mini version of the Gherkin that's coming my way. 😍. i love how the colors are inverted. I'm sad to say that my dragon brain would have definitely got this if it was a medium, even though I'm sure it would just be display* only. i can't believe it's even still in stock, but that just goes to show that my tastes are definitely a bit... Mmmmm... yeah.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This large, soft Isonade, which would complete my Isonade collection. I'm still very much on the fence on if I even want a large, since the small version is such a perfect size. i just love a pink tip and highlights over grey... speaking of which,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know I love a good match. i love how the grey highlights over the pink spines. ugh, dreamy! This is a small, soft, which is what I'm wanting, but I'm still holding out for a perfect pour. (the more I think about it, the more anxiety I get over if I'll even like the results of my pour request. if I don't, this coloration would be a close third on my list.)
Tumblr media
This eggie. Just because. 🍳

A week or so ago, I added this photo to a shop request for pour ideas hoping for something dark and ghostly because, honestly, it's spring and everyone is about pastels and spring time colors...
Tumblr media
well, so far, the shop that I submitted to hasn't poured anything dark, but...
another shop did. 😃
y'all, I just sat in on the HPE drop to see how fast the new model, Odette, would sell. That's it! I thought about trying to go for one, but I knew it would cause me too much anxiety. I probably could have grabbed a darker one, but I kind of want one to highlight the details.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They sold out within a minute with the darker one I was eyeing staying a little longer. I decided to go ahead and take a peek through all the drop items, as I know sometimes they have some pours they didn't feature, but I wasn't expecting anything to stand out until I saw these...
These are perfection.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pour is perfect. i just recently came to the realization that even though I have been waiting for a goblin green pour for gherkin, it probably would fuck with me how off it would work with everything else I have given that I don't have much green... and I have to have a matching set. like, that's becoming a major thing for me in a collection sense. I'm glad I got a true match, but it also goes well with a lot of the other dark grey and black in my collection.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The size is perfect. They only poured 4 items in this coloration, so the fact that they not only had the 2 models I wanted, but the right version (for Isonade grinder) and size (for Gherkin)?!! I have a flaccid small Isonade grinder already and really wanted a chub version as well. They only poured the chub version. Same with Gherkin, the fact that they even poured that model when it's not one they seem to pour a lot, and they poured one in mini and one in small. Small measurements are just right for me. Mini would be too small and medium (which I went back and forth on for a little bit) would be too much of a stretch.
Oh, and the perfect firmness in super soft. I have medium firmness from HPE and soft firmness. I am excited to see how this one will work out. My Isonade insertable and Sylph are both medium, and Isonade is perfect, but Sylph can be a little... rough due to the textures ridges at the head . Isonade grinder in soft is just the right amount of firmness given the texture, so I'm hoping super soft gives it a little more if a lifelike feel.
oh, best part?!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They. GLOW. And look at how ghostly they look while doing it?!!
Tumblr media
I really need to... well, you know what? fuck it. I keep saying I need to taper down and thin out my wants, but overall, besides the 3 models I'm currently trying to sell, I haven't really been displeased with anything I've got. I'm pretty happy with the overall collection and I really only have the 2 models I'm waiting for... um... wait. 3? make that 3.

Wanna know how funky my brain is? i had a dream last night that I traded my red and black xenovum for white with green drip to match my obscura and jorunn and now I can't stop thinking about how much of a better match it is and how I want to sell them so that I can custom some more eggs.
Tumblr media
because of course I would. ugh... but how cute would that be to match my mollusca?!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
... I'm already having a hard time trying to sell my other 2 toys, I think I'll try to see my luck on reddit next.
Also trying to not throw so many new models into my want list. I think I may give up on the PPS models if there's nothing in this next drop. the item I really want from HPE won't be poured this month due to some issues. I took off the models from FG because the model matches too closely with 2 others I have. a model I thought was retired is showing back up so... I'm going for that instead. the shops that pour them seem to usually do really bright rainbows, pastels and desserts and that's not my jam, so we will see how it goes. i know the first couple of drops are gonna be chaos.
Plus, I'm really trying not to go any larger with my suitcase.

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish... 🧜🏾🧜🏾‍♂️
Tumblr media
Hermann the Merman is here!!!
It's so pretty! The overall shape of the model is gorgeous, the details are so well thought out, and they did a great job trying to match my Calypso. It's not a perfect match, but what it lacks in perfection (which, I knew it was never going to be perfect. even if I asked the same shop that did the original Calypso pour if they would redo it, it could never be the same) it more than makes up for in its own right!
Tumblr media
The way the gold sits on the underside of the toy, highlighting the scales! I honestly feel like this model is made for a highlight and I am apparently their first try at it, given my request. I was pleasantly surprised by the detail.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though the red isn't super pronounced, i really like how it makes me feel like my fishy theme ties in together in different shades.
Tumblr media
Hear me out... all of the toys are red, black, and gold. Calypso focuses more on the red, a bit of gold highlight, and the black base. Merman focuses on gold, red undertone, with black base.
Tumblr media
Xenovum focuses more on black with the red peeking through and that sneaky gold shimmer throughout.
Tumblr media
Like, I love how each one plays on a different highlight and color focus, but they're all made up of the same color theme.
Another great purchase. I'm currently debating on if I want 2 models I'm holding out on, I keep going back and forth with how badly I want a new model from another shop (but really shouldn't given that it's the same shape and specs as another model I already have.) and then a possible dreamy that may come up and my need to have a matching pair.
...my suitcase is starting to overflow.

Climbing out of my hole because... well, as y'all know...
I ain't shit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Say 'hurro' to my small, soft Merman from Fiery Faerie Toys on Etsy. I think the shop did such a good job matching the colors of my Calypso, and apparently this was their first time doing a wash! I can't wait to see it in hand. They had a one day only sale and I couldn't resist. From dm to working out specifics to pour to photos, it was less than 24 hours and then shipped the next day. The price was great, but I didn't realize the shipping cost would make up for it! It's coming from Europe, so understandable, but gah dayum...
The wash looks so good on photos, I didn't realize how beautiful the texture is. This will be my first highly textured toy in soft, my other being OwOToyz Bastion in Medium firmness and that is... a bit rough.
Also, I had my eyes firmly set on making my first purchase from Fantasy Grove...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alas... this bitch is a medium! 😭. I just knew I was going for it, too, until I saw the size. and then I spent a good 15 minutes trying to justify it.
i just can't, though. I would be in the same boat as I am with my Medium Titan and my Medium Batou... and i can't keep doing it.
Pretty to look at, but cannot use.
They said they would do another pour at some point, but I don't think they'll pour my models and specs... i mean, I could ask, but...
Anyway, I am wondering if Ppsculptors did my pour request for the 2 models I want. I've been craving more dark, ghostly pours lately and I have a decent idea for next drop that I hope they do.
