This whole doll hobby is killing me, I want to get them all and lately I have been killed economically by a doll company called Soom, or as we say in the hobby; I have been Soomed

In October last year I got my first Soom doll, a Fairy Legend Asis, she got turned into my character Tix

Then in April, I broke my rule of making all my characters D&D characters and put down a payment for their limited Puss in Boots, he'll actually arrive today or tomorrow, I am psyched

Then in May I fell in love with another of their dolls, a Roxen that will be another none D&D original character

So I hoped I was done with purchasing Soom doll or any dolls for that matter for a while when I found a rather cheap fantasy  Cuprit doll on the marketplace that I bought, she'll be a character that I already had planned to get a doll for and she's a limited. I'll pick her up the coming weekend when I go to a doll-meeting in Oslo, yay doll-meeting !
I still have to purchase a body for her because she came only with the hoofed fantasy body and not normal feet that her character should have.

Then there's the new limited monthly doll...sigh....He is (if loosely) based on the  Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, he have two heads and changeable bunny parts, I love everything about him and on top of that the optional clothing he comes with is tailcoats and a top-hat, then there's the awesome bunny feet and last the awesome smirking face, I can't keep my brain from making him a story and fitting him into my doll universe, I have pretty much done everything but named him. I really shouldn't get this guy, but if I know myself I'll probably get him anyway, he's available till the 18th, so I'll see how I feel closer to the end period and see how I like the body of my Puss in Boots.


To be honest, I always wanted to get dolls from a lot of different companies, but Soom just keep pumping out  so many fun colourful dolls and it doesn't exactly help that they are all limited edition.

Time for an update I guess, I noticed that I hadn't updated my journal since I was making the decision whether to purchase the Soom Puss in Boots.

Of course I gave in, in case you were wondering, I also bought a Soom Roxen on a whim just a month later, I am currently paying for those. Also since Fairyland has decided to release tan skinned dolls for a limited time, I had to pick up a Karsh from them, well, I will purchase her on Friday, the same day when I get my paycheck and make the final down-payments on the Soom dolls. Then the waiting game begins.

So yeah, dolls. On a completely unrelated topic, can someone tell me what self-constraint means ?

Other then that I have just started doing the BJD Addicts challenge on YouTube. It is a series of video topics or challenges surrounding the BJD hobby that you have to make a video reply to,  it was made and is still updated by the BJD Addicts group on YouTube, the group is also on DeviantArt  bjdaddicts.deviantart.com/

I'll post the link to my YouTube account later, YouTube seems to have some server problems at the time. I am called Cheesedemon88 there too.

This doll hobby is going to be the death of me. I keep browsing around doll sites and once again, Soom one of the more popular and expensive companies are threatening to raid my wallet again. This year they will launch a monthly limited collection of characters from western fairy tales.

This month they launched the Puss in Boots character and he is gorgeous ! dollsoom.com/eng/shop/item.php…  Especially his human counterpart, thing is even if I only pick the least amount of extra parts that I want (the clothes, hat and cat parts) and do the blushing and painting myself, It will still be about 1240 USD ! Yes, I can afford it if I have him on 4 month Layaway, but it is still very hard to justify paying that much for a doll and I would still need to get him eyes, wig and shoes in addition.

I was really hoping to wait a while before getting more dolls, limited dolls are so cruel

What is going to far when it comes to questioning people's choices of character design ?

I was browsing the gallery of a  Deviant that i really liked, he had drawn several roleplayig characters and I really enjoyed his drawing style.

Now he had illustrated a party of D&D characters and I noticed that all of them had really cool and logical armours, except for the girl that had some purple thing with cleavage and midriff, so I asked him jokingly if the character was played by a guy. After a couple of comments  back and fourth (I did actually call the outfit slutty at one point, as did he,)  he explained that the character was indeed played by a girl, but this was how he imagined her to look. I have always been interested in the reason for female characters being much more sexualized then male characters, so I asked what was behind his design choices and if the character was a particularly sexual character. And that's when he blocked me. And I was genuinely interested in his answer.

So what do you think ? Did I go overboard ? What is going too far in your opinion ?

I guess I am more upset by this then I should be, but being blocked like that really bummed me out.
