i know i said i’d wait til my bday (tomorrow) to open dresden, but i likely won’t even be home until thursday, & i couldn’t possibly wait that long. i am SO excited to announce that another tiny lady has joined my family; a clementine from @seagull.bjd in tea resin (her first casted resin doll! check out her ENTIRE process from sculpting to priming to sending her off on her ig & youtube, where i also discovered clementine. she still has 2 girls in latte available; a slightly lighter color.)

her gorgeous faceup began as an ugly picsart mockup—i wanted two of emily’s signature cybersigilism markings on her lips, to signify her tongue/words as the source of her haunting. her interpretation of them, alongside the eye markings, are just SO perfect. she looks amazing, i can see everything i have for her character envisioned already & i am SO happy.

let this be a reminder that no matter how hard it is to start, there will always be sometime who wants to share in ur vision. i hope ur so proud of urself seagull bc i really am!! and i am so happy to have dresden become part of my ghostly little world <333 🪽 by @dollotic

so. on june 25th i took nadja’s faceplate with me to work to ship it out to a bjd artist to fix a small chip in her lip makeup. unfortunately, during my lunch break she was taken while i accidentally left her unattended. as it stands, my very first bjd, my most precious oc, is unrecoverable now due to my own negligence.

as you can imagine, i’ve been incredibly anxious, sad, and emotional since it happened. i’ve been scared too—about the reaction to my mistake, about what people will think of me as an owner. i don’t think i’ve handled it the best, because i’ve genuinely never… felt? anything like this before? anything you’re thinking of me, trust i’ve thought it. i haven’t known how to even be on here in my grief. i’m afraid of the questions & i’m afraid of the reality. i don’t want to really interact with anything. i can’t decide whether to try and remake her somehow, or try to accept her as gone, or or or. yknow the kinda useless thinking you do when you’re too overwhelmed to really come to a conclusion? yeah.

anyway. i’ll be taking a break for a while due to this. i will hopefully probably be back, with a much clearer mind, and with a little more peace about this situation. the only reason i felt i needed to go public is because she is my favorite doll, and i know other people loved nadja too, so her absence should be explained—tho truthfully, i don’t want to keep talking ab this because all i feel is guilt & anxiety & grief.

if there’s some magical opportunity that any of you sees her faceplate, pls contact me so i can get her back. it would mean the world—but nyc is a big city so… who knows. it can be a magical city too i guess? it’s not like i could ever give up hope, even if i wanted to 😭

journal entry #47
september 8th, 20xx
(the vestiges of) los angeles, ca.

i’m writin’ this after the worst sleep of my terrible life on the “loser’s hammock.” i’ve never had to deal with this piece of shit before—it’s so flimsy. smells like mildew & BO. Chief says he keeps the loser’s hammock to remind us that “the comforts we enjoy are earned through our contributions to the team.” basically, whoever fucks up & brings home nothing after the weekly scavenge gets stuck with it as punishment ‘til the next one.

i always thought the system made sense. prolly cus i was never got it. finding stuff is, like, my thing. i know it might be weird to say out loud, but… i think scavenging is my purpose. foraging & stuff. it’s peaceful and from what i’m told of the world Before, there used to be so much concrete ya couldn’t. i can’t imagine what all these dilapidated grocery stores looked like in the Before. prolly shiny… full of food. now, even the old cans’ll make you smile.

now that i’m stuck with it for a whole week, call me a baby, but i think it’s fuckin’ unfair. how would WORSE sleep make me a better scavenger? & fuck Chief, ‘cus he knows i’m the best around. i just got mugged on the way back by some assholes & lost everything i hadn’t already stashed away in my hiding spots… but he didn’t care. i mean, at least he let me keep my walkman, but still. of course he didn’t. he only cares about the hard facts, and the facts are, i brought home the least.

man, what a PRICK. how many weeks have i been the only reason we all ate, huh? didn’t see any “winner’s hammock” for me then!

and i really hate when he says my name like that. somehow it makes it painfully obvious that that isn’t my name. not really. well, kind of. i wish it was, if that counts for anything. and if Chief knew what my real name was, he’d probably kick me out in a heartbeat. or just kick me. prolly both. he’d shut the door in my face & all that “survival of the team” and “family” shit would go right out the window.

there’s still a couple more things i’d like to do for oakie; a peach soft body for one, some simple silver accessories, a pair of artfully tattered thigh highs, some chunky combat boots, a provisions bag, etc etc etc.

but i’m like soooo happy with where she is rn. she’s so adorable & is just teeming with ideas. i really love her in this outfit—it makes me want to start catering her wardrobe towards this sorta post-apocalyptic utilitarian fashion i’m really liking recently.

soooo writing snippet coming for oakie soon 🙈🙈🙈 by @dollotic

the only time nadja ever braided her hair was before rehearsals. it brought a strange sense of sobriety over her; stilled her trembling hands. if she could focus on the braids, she could focus on the chords, could focus on the piece, could blend into the symphony. the orchestra too was a braid—one weaved of a dozen talents, each trying their hardest not to outshine the other, but to create a cohesion. when she dreamed, oftentimes it was a cacophony of sounds she heard. distant murmuring, the pluck of a harp, the scrape of a cello against the floor; and then one day, she’d stopped dreaming altogether.

it had been when she’d left the manor, five years ago.

to return now… she found her hands absentmindedly reaching for her hair, collecting it into families: brass, woodwind, percussion. everything buzzing with frenzied discord within her split itself, then wove together. it felt shameless, really, to return to and reap the benefits of that once-holy ritual as the musicless disgrace she’d become now. but still ,when her fingers met the end of her hair, she felt whole.

like this, she could re-enter her own personal hell.

(featuring some very very lovely pearl earrings from my friend @rainbowsmiledolls)

//i really wanna find some pins for her hair that are easier to operate than the ones i have now… i like the pulled back style featuring my hands at the end 😫😫

nadja’s not much of a smoker… but i imagine she’s not too good at releasing stress “organically”. she’s the sort of person who likes to materialize her feelings—and she watches them burn away with the cigarette ash. it’s cathartic. if she sees someone looking, she’s the type to offer it to them.

playing around with some photo composition (did u notice my little cardboard flower 🫣🫣) & this fun little prop from chloe!! this was originally intended for anemone (who is yet to be reshelled) but for now, they’re nadja’s little dirty secrets <3

(now abbreviated)

to my dear friend @3uttdolls, who i am certain was NOT expecting a public post (LMAO), but when i am proud of something, i want to show it to the world.

chloe, you were also MY first genuine friend in the doll hobby. it’s crazy that we’ve only been friends about a month and a half now, and we don’t even have to talk about dolls anymore. we can talk about anything, and no matter when you reply, i know it’ll be funny, empathetic, and interesting. ven and anemone bring me a lot of joy to write and think about, but if you were to lose all your dolls tomorrow, i would still be your genuine friend. and i know the inverse would be true also.

they say friendship like this is rare. i believe it. you gave me the courage to go forward to meet and talk to the same people reading this post now. you let me know this community was somewhere i could be cute and soft or loud and passionate, and i would find kinship. i hope ive done the same for you.

you will make a dozen more doll friends, as will i, but what we’ll always have, is that when we felt alone in this hobby, there we were for each other 🪽 by @dollotic
