I absolutely love Lorti. She is such an inspiration. She is so super creative and such a sweet girl! I'm sad she is leaving this hobby but am so excited to keep watching her adventures with azones and fishies.

I'm so happy this blog exists. This hobby needs more love going around

Thank you! I completely agree!

I LOVE rosareinvertida's characters, I wish she would tell us a bit more about her OCs, I love the detail and attention to her BJD girls so much!

Sorry about the delay in posting to everyone who submitted recently! My ask box was acting a bit weird and not showing the messages ^^;  They'll be posted today!

I'm new to this hobby and after spending so many years admiring the dolls before buying my own, after spending so much time reading wank over petty things like popularity wars, after reading comments both good and bad about doll owners and admirers alike, I would like to personally give a shout out to the wonderful people I have met through my Instagram account that have made me feel so damn welcome in this hobby. I was so worried about posting things because I thought people would hate me on principal - that I was new. No, I'm not the best photographer, no, I'm not rich and have to use my tip money to buy cheaper clothes and accessories, and yes, I take a lot of love in people's OCs and creativity and try to reflect that in my own doll. I love the stories you tell, I love meeting your dolls through every picture you post and I adore knowing that you love your dolls enough to give them such fantastically diverse histories and personalities because as a writer, these are the qualities I admire in fellow artists. Passion. So to everyone I've talked to, no matter in depth or in passing, thank you. How you treat somebody like me, brand new with the massive insecurities about this hobby, tells me everything I need to know about you. You're fantastic people.

So to everybody I've talked to so far: crackupmadness, dee_lullaby, datenshi_zoku, lpslck, tanyastyle, rakuray, staroblivion and others that I hope to talk to more and many more I hope to make friends with, thank you for making this newbie feel welcome. I look forward to everything you create.

When I saw the picture of elfgutz's Kaney, I seriously thought it was a slightly shopped pic of a real person! That's amazing and I was really impressed!

I just want to hug people who do the packaging for BJD companies. I love the extra things they give you like little pouches with extra parts,a card with a beautiful picture of the sculpt,one company gave me a bookmark with a picture of a doll on it. I love that.

I truly admire jenkatdollsnfurryfriends. She stands up for her beliefs and doesn't back down when people attack her. Not to mention that all her dolls are immaculate and always a pleasure to see!

I'm SO excited for the new online FCS system on Volks USA! It's been a while since I've been this stoked about something and I just want to dance many little happy dances <3 <3 <3

I love crackupmadness's dolls.  They're all adorable and the photos of them really make them shine :D

I wasn't sure about whether or not I should buy my most recent doll (for financial reasons), but I'm so glad I did.  She's so adorable and amazing and makes me smile every time I see her!

I try to link to users who are mentioned in a post, so it would be super helpful if everyone could stick to people's complete usernames in the future! Also, if someone isn't on tumblr, a little note on where I could find them would be really, really appreciated! :D

Thank you so much to everyone who has submitted to this blog so far! <3

I have so many senpais in this hobby, some are well known and some are not but I'd like to send a nice big hug to yldenfrei, Chibi Lillie, denaliwind, ZiO-ne, KarenBJD, Geekisthecolour, Smaug, illusionwaltz, afa187, Lilien and Sion Darkness. You guys are awesome and so talented and cool and I'm just so glad to see you work and have inspiration. Thank you for sharing your work with the world!

If anyone can give me a link to whoever Smaug is, please let me know so I can add it to this :) Thanks, malaryush!

I love Helloknightmares' photosets of dolls making models! They're so cute and original. Looks like dolls have hobbies, too!

I LOVE SICKTRESS! She's such a sweet person. She's goofy and hilarious too. I love talking to her about dolls and everything else.

Smoteymote is the cutest ball of sunshine I've ever had the pleasure of coming in contact with! Their dolls are always amazing! Especially Ash and Cass! I hope they are able to bring them home again soon.

I miss seeing Bluekitsune's progress pictures, she used to be so active and has really inspiring and colourful concepts!
