Hey hey!! I'm back to write a new blog post :P I've been inactive again... But I was busy trying not to die at my new job Dx it's gone mostly okay but I hope I can learn faster so I don't get in trouble or something lolrip

I had the pleasure of blowing my first paycheck which was awesome :D It feels kinda weird having money...? I've been a brokeboi my whole life so it felt kind of illegal to do xD Here's what I got:



I got these two Barbie dolls! Mariposa is one of my all-time favorites and this year's Birthday Wishes caught me by surprise when I saw her at Barnes and Noble :D



Mariposa my beloved~ I lost the one I had as a kid from moving around a hundred times, so I'm glad I have her again ^^ I am a SUCKER for gimmicks so her magic wings got me so bad as a kid... and still get me now XD She takes up a lot of space tho... I'll have to get her a nice stand or something :P

My-friend-who-likes-mh never had any Barbie fairy dolls as a kid, so when I folded in her wings to show him how it worked he CRINGED so hard XD He does rly like her doll tho. When we watched the movie together I was def more into it than he was... He thought it was okay compared to the other Fairytopias (which... I understand coming from someone uncultured like him lmfao). I def wanna get that light-up fiber optics Elina next, I loved her as a kid and she's kinda hard to find now D: But she's the Barbie doll ever so I will do it >o<





Birthday Wishes Barbie is like... An oasis in the middle of the desert XD I don't like a lot of modern barbies... idk they're just not my fasion taste and a lot of their makeup is boring? If they have any. And not that all barbies need to be Elina-tier, I just like girly pink barbie more than normie rando barbie :P But her!! I like her dress and idk the way she was displayed in her box caught my attention :P She's rly cool, but I wish her stand wasn't so weird??? It's like... curved to her legs in a specific position... I've never seen any others like it? wtf lmao. I can put Mariposa on it but... Just why xD












I also got some curtains! This might sound weird but I've never had any cool curtains before... I've always wanted to have some with a nice valence, and now I do :D It's my first step towards my interior decorating dreams (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Once I finish more of my decorating/diy projects, I'll make a room tour blog post :D (dont look at those valence wrinkles they're NOT there XD)

I'm also so excited to work towards having a somewhat-princess themed room? Did u ever see those room inspo booklets in the paint section at home improvement stores? I loved looking through those and always wanted a princess themed room... I'm glad I can finally make 10-year-old me happy :P










Last but not least... A new pony!!! Avalonia is such a pretty pony, and I couldn't resist a butterfly bag :P (the mlp logo is a sticker and not printed on though... ehhh) The butterfly net and flower are magnetic, and the butterfly twirls up when you put her hoof to it :D And her burrerfly print hat is more detailed than I thought it'd be, and stays on her head without elastic (it snapped as soon as I took it off of her head... what can you do lol). And the butterfly jars!! So many little details... This little set encapsulates everything I love about G3 ^^



Starting in June, my-friend-who-likes-mh and I are gonna work on moving out! We have a budget and a plan (thanks to yours truly xD) and I'm so excited about it! :D It's been a long time coming and I'm glad we can finally work towards our goals~ ^^ After a lifetime of just... Weird living situations, I can finally work towards creating one that I can feel safe and comfortable in with someone I love and like... idk that's just really cool :P



Thanx for reading~ I'm planning on making a post for Summer ILD and trying to be more active in general, so I'll def be around! Hopefully everything will calm down soon so I can focus more on this stuff :P Until then~!

omg i love your curtains (so cute) & the barbies!!! the mariposa one looks so cool i love her wings :0 & her dress looks so intricate and detailed i---
i agree i love pink hypergirly barbie rather than some rando clothes, but to be fair i don't think i've seen what barbie dolls wear in a while.
i loved barbies as a kid i had a dreamhouse & a barbie jeep x) the only barbie movie i've seen though is barbie & the twelve dancing princesses (i loved genevieve obvs) 

what do you think of the new barbie movie from what we've seen so far??? i'm definitely going to be seeing it lol i hope the fashion slays
good to see you posting again! :)

this is so beautiful! what a good haul!
i've been starting my collection of girlier things lately as i never had the chance to truly branch into it when i was younger, it's great to surround yourself with things that make you happy past & present; + it's just funny to see the contrast between gosurori / pastel bedroom (*´ω`*)
i was very much a barbie boy (still am), i loved any gimmicky doll i could get my hands on, too

i always loved mariposa, both movie and the merch that sprung from the franchise, it really was a good era for the fairies wasn't it?

Ayy good for you! What do you like to collect? :P Did you have any favorite Barbies?

omg yes the Fairytopia era was so good... great dolls and great movies everywhere ^o^ Even the random non-movie dolls had cool designs too. I'm rly hoping for a Barbie renaissance... The new bday wishes and the Barbie movie have me hopeful :D

i don't collect anything in particular, anything i can get my hands on - it's mainly characters from sanrio franchise, doraemon, precure, etc etc .. things that resonate with my childhood, or rather, the childhood i wanted fufufu, lots of mermaids too
for favourite barbie, i think my favourite was the teal splash and style mermaid doll (unsurprisingly) .. i'm unsure, because it changed so often, but i loved the design and all the textures(微笑)i continue to be a texture fiend, i think it's great to be able to engage with toys in more ways than just playing!

i want to be hopeful that barbie can return to glory, but the magic of dolls has simply vanished too much for this to be the case .. i don't see many fantasy dolls on shelves, and when i do, the designs are not mystical at all! that's what i liked most about it as a young boy, the magic that wasn't the same as transformers, fufuu
but i really will pray that it gets better 八(^□^*) although my lack of enthusiasm, i'll do my best!!

even if it's half as good as the 'fairytopia-era' then i will be glad
