happy new year!

the decrease in costuming quality over the last 20 years has been soooo precipitous & nauseating. i’m not even talking abt marvel’s cg supersuits or anything this time, look at the fabric quality, structure, layering, character, and craftsmanship of older costumes in 102 dalmations (2000) vs cruella (2021)

ever after (1998) vs cinderella (2021)

lord of the rings (2001-2003) vs the rings of power (2022)

this trend should upset you not just because it looks cheap, but because it suggests a strong anti-art and anti-labor movement in film and tv making. don’t forget costumers are unionized

Oh hi--have some new patterns! They're sized for "original" (2016) Barbie bodies. Both dolls shown are standard MTM, with the doll on the left wearing flats and the doll on the right wearing heels.

The pants have optional pockets, and the option to add a little more length so they can reach the floor with high heels (I didn't add that length in the actual pattern because I wanted to make sure it would fit in printable area)

I watch a lot of restoration videos for lots of different things like whole houses, furniture, toys, electronics, old stoves etc. and over time that's changed the way I feel about customization of literally anything.

I used to struggle with changing dolls, for example, because SOMEone might want it as it is/was someday and I didn't want to ruin it.

Or I see people yelling about folks that paint wood furniture.

Or people talk about "Focus your home decor on maintaining resell value". or stuff like that.

Or like someone on Twitter threatening to steal their relative's Monster High dolls because their hair was messy like Monster High dolls aren't childrens' toys.

It took some time, but I'm firmly in camp "It's yours. Make it as you like it." because more and more I have evidence that no matter what you do to your house, furniture, toys to make them yours, there is someone out there that will be absolutely thrilled to reset it or make it theirs.

The furniture restorers bitching about paint on wood or poorly done repairs or mods, they're having the time of their lives undoing that. They're enjoying the restoration. They're having fun.

Paint the furniture if you want it painted. Someone. Someday. Will have a great time unpainting it if they want it unpainted.

Repaint dolls and chop up their hair. Someone. Someday. Will have a great time replicating the default faceup and rooting in new hair if they want it back to default.

Paint the marble fireplace if you want to. Someone. Someday. Will unpaint that, too, if they want it unpainted.

Paint your living room black if you want to paint it black. Someone. Someday. Can paint it beige again just as easily.

actually one more hfjone thought. people say that the waiting room’s true form is the one liam sees, but how do we know that? what if what he sees is also his own personalized version of it and we actually don’t know the waiting room’s true form
