“kirsten shouldn’t have bangs because it was an unpopular style back then” well have you considered that maybe she wanted them. maybe she just said fuck it and went snip snip on her hair. maybe she thought they were cute. maybe she was right. maybe her lil bangs are fucking adorable. maybe

my hair is such a fucking mess. just want an autistic person to remove my head and dunk my hair in boiled water and restyle it before lovingly tying my head back on :(

yeah tlou ep 7 was beautiful and heartbreaking but the real crime was that american girl doll store that included three dolls that weren’t launched until well after 2003

This is one of my favorite pieces I’ve done because it is so nostalgic for me! I used to make AG stop motions and draw AG dolls all the time as a kid, they were such a big part of my childhood and I made some of my favorite memories with them! ♥️

secrets at camp nokomis just makes me more upset about how poorly maryellen's polio was handled. she could've been our first named girl sold with a mobility aid!! i know technology advanced from 1916 to 1954 but why does tina get a leg brace and crutches and is shown to have lasting weakness from polio while maryellen's weakness is just glossed over for the most part and never has to rest more often or anything. we could have had it all (actual disabled rep)

While I'm on a Samantha Parkington kick, I am once again thinking about this one piece of dialogue from the movie:

Mr. O'Malley: I want to thank you, Samantha, for your kindness towards Nellie and the girls.

Samantha: No thanks needed, sir. Nellie and the girls are my friends.

The thing that gets me most about this is the fact that he calls her by her first name and she calls him "sir". This is the norm in the hierarchy of age, but not in the hierarchy of class. Normally, he would be calling her "miss", as Nellie does at the beginning of both the books and the movie, while she might even call him by his first name, as she does Jessie's husband, Lincoln (although race may also play into that; I would need to do more reading on how all that worked); even if she referred to him by last name, like Hawkins, there would still be a usual understanding that he is considered her inferior.

But that's not what happens here. Samantha addresses Mr. O'Malley with the same respect and dignity as she would any of her wealthy friends' parents, and she doesn't expect him to address her any differently than his own daughters, who she sees as no different than her; they're her friends, no more, no less. Even though by this point Samantha's character is already pretty well-established, I feel like this just adds something extra to it.

“All the historical characters get temporally displaced and are friends and think the others are really cool” will always be, the best au

little doodles

I’ve seen people draw fanart of Monster High and Winx Club, and aside from the Mane6 from My Little Pony, I didn’t think I had a fictional girl group that I liked as a kid, until I remembered the OGs 😤 American Girl books. These put hair on my chest as a kid, I’d just be reading an inspiring story about an immigrant when BAM! her best friend dies of Cholera. And her parents tell her to stop crying about it and then the books never mention the dead friend again. Good reading material for a sprightly nine-year-old with anxiety issues.

Happy Halloween!

I'm the best Molly McIntire, actually, so make a note of that
