Neon's Noncommittal Non-Challenge Thread 2021

[Loona]

I hope you're doing fine neon! Apologies for being more than a month late with responding to this thread... just like Alliecat's constellation doll thread, your thread also fell victim to my weird browsing habits and clumsiness (though you had it worse, at least hers was posted in March  ) - I've seen it already back then, but couldn't reply on the spot. I left it open so that I can reply later, but it got buried under tons of other windows...

I totally get what you were saying about your dead creativity - I'm the type of person whose creativity is the first to shut down whenever I'm not mentally stable, and 2020 has made a spectacular job of making that state the norm (and so far 2021 isn't any better... ), so I'm honestly surprised I managed to accomplish anything creative. My current main goal regarding creativity is - to not blame myself for not starting, progressing with, or finishing a creative project. There are so many things I'd like to do, but I'm trying to ignore them whenever they come to mind in a "ah, you still haven't done that"-type way, and not as an "I'd like to do this now"-thought. Lamenting about how I am not progressing with something won't actually help me progress with it, it will just leave me stressed out. Surprisingly, I'm doing good so far (I'm normally not able to look at things this way - the fact that I can now mostly ignore the pressure of unfinished projects shows just how massively exhausting 2020 has been from this aspect), and I can appreciate the little things I *did* finish. If they are meant to be, I'll get there also with the rest. You too. (and for this same reason I won't ask how you are progressing with your goals. If there isn't any progress on any front, that's prefectly fine.  We're still sucking through that same dang clogged straw ).

I'll also join the group of those who are hiding out in imaginary universes. I've always been prone to do that whenever things were bad for a longer period of
time - there's no surprise I'm in the same place now. I don't like it, but given the current circumstances, I'm happy to have it - now it literally helps me survive.

Secret Valentine is a strangely fitting title for Her Insane Majesty - at least for me. As much as how overall very red she is (which I do like in photos but I hardly ever purchase redhead dolls, and especially not when it's actually red-red), I came to realise I really like her, and I wouldn't say no to owning her if I came across her at a good price. And where would be no rewigging, rechipping and that sort involved. She looks perfectly quirky cute with this colour scheme.

I really like the group photo! It can be so difficult to photorgaph dolls of different scales together, but your bunch just looks like a cohesive, happy family. How is Hanako-kun the last doll of 2020 though if it's Sayori who arrived last, are you considering the purchase date when determining the order?
