I hadn't heard about the controversy, but oh nooooo that poor horse. He looks like he's made of parts from 5 different horses. The model (or any other Breyer model) doesn't even remotely resemble him.

And yeah, it's weird about the celebration horse. I didn't even really know the celebration horse is supposed to be a real horse before this.

If I ever see the individual retro ponies, I may buy em and sell my 6-pack. They seem much easier to display MIB.

I use imgbb, never had a problem with it and it’s easy to use from mobile devices/tablets.

Oh, look at that, another incomplete set :’) what is it with Funko and making all but 1 or 2 of a set of characters? We never did get Applejack or Rarity, and now we’re not getting Bluebell. If they’d made all 6 I’d get em, but as it is I’ll be skipping these unless I cave and start a Snuzzle army like I’ve been resisting temptation over for years.

Yesterday afternoon I decided, more or less on a whim, to go to an antique mall with my dad. I haven’t done any sort of secondhand shopping since early spring when the outbreak started amping up here, and I wanted to cram in something fun to show for the 3-day weekend. We ended up going to an antique mall that I’d been driving past for years and wanting to visit, but it’s on a side of town I’m not on frequently so whenever I passed it I tended to be on my way to something else. It was good to finally go - it’s enormous!

We arrived about 30 minutes before closing time so we only covered the perimeter (we’re definitely going back much earlier in the day before too long), but immediately after walking in I found a display case full of old toys about 20 feet from the entrance, including a Scrumptious. She was $16 and rather yellowed, with numerous stains and patches of dirt, so I initially put her back, but as I walked the rest of the mall I couldn’t stop thinking about her. She has no flaws aside from being very dirty, her flocking is the thickest and plushest of any So Soft I’ve ever held in my hands (she’s more discolored than the Fifi I found at the flea market and dirtier than the Ribbon I found in a thrift store, but her flocking is easily twice as thick), and I don’t see Scrumptious come up for sale as often as some from her set. In the end my dad bought her for me (thanks dad), and even though she may have been a bit overpriced, I’m very happy with her 

Now to figure out how to clean her flocking without ruining it. I’ll post before and after pictures, hopefully there’ll be a dramatic improvement! Oh, and there were also some G3’s at the mall, but they were overpriced so I left them. Shame, because there was a pretty Beachcomber, but I’m not paying $6 for a common G3.

What a beautiful girl!! I wonder what her story is. I'm glad she made it through all that, sometimes animals put themselves in such danger that it's terrifying (though humans do the same thing). It hurts to not be able to communicate to them the danger they're in, though they're better at keeping themselves alive than we tend to give them credit for.

Unfortunate that your other cat doesn't like her - is Sassy spayed? As a side note, did you see if Karen was microchipped? Also, there are tutorials for shelters for outdoor cats who won't come inside online, maybe you can look into making one of those.

I’m all for body positivity and the de-stigmatization of “taboo” parts of the body, but I know some people are going to like more anatomically correct dolls for all the wrong reasons. Non-sexual nudity is kind of ruined by a flood of comments talking about how hot and sexy it is, imo, and that’s what I see whenever anything features artistic nudity online, especially if it’s nude females. It’s not just a matter of prudism, sadly - the people prudes use as strawmen do very much exist, and are very vocal. I get not wanting to act like the human body is ~zOmG oBsCeNe ThInK oF tHe ChIlDrEn~ but I think it’s naive to think that everyone is respectful or mature enough to handle such things. (This post isn’t inappropriate, right? I’m trying to be as vague as possible while still getting the point across.)

I want Sunset and the princesses so bad why this. I couldn’t afford any of them in a good year, much less this year. Oh, well.
