*To all you young 'uns-- This is pretty dark/spooky. Don't say I didn't warn you* 

Long ago

Just like the hearse, you die to get in again

We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

From every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long not goodnight

Came a time

When every star fall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

From every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long not goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long not goodnight

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend

To leave and then

We'll meet again

When both our cars collide.

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long not goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long not goodnight

*shuffles feet*

I feel like this should be something posted at Halloween but oh well. I'll do a throwback to it in October, I guess. 

This was definitely the darkest photo-shoot I've done, but it's honestly one of my favorites. 

I was kind of just fooling around with the dolls and ended up recreating the album cover. And from there I did a whole shoot and--- well, you get the gist. xD

I suppose you could say that this is the first real fandom-induced post I would've previously been too scared too post. Certainly not anymore, though.

Dolls: MK (McKenna GOTY 2012) & Finley (Custom PM Molly) 

Clothes: MK; Felicity's meet shift 

Finley; White shirt from Bilbo costume off of Etsy, leather jacket from FromEchoWithLove (etsy)

Washable Marker used on dolls' faces.

Things That Need To Be Said

*I'm writing this rant at six in the morning, to Hybrid Theory-- You've been warned* 

If you're somehow unaware, Maddie posted a photo-shoot on her blog last night, ending the post with saying how she feels so trapped at blogging and frustrated with the AG community.
Talking to Maddie through texts, I've been with her side by side as she's been annoyed, & tbh I'm ticked as well.
So you all get to read my lovely little rant on the AG community and the crap side of it.


For some reason I came into the blogging world thinking that the AG community is all peaches and cream. For the most part it is, but I've also found there's a lot of judgmental, flower children who have issues with what others do.
Look, I get it that some of the AG bloggers are older than others. I get it that we may be more mature, and not every one, particularly not younger people, are going to like what we post.
But that does NOT give you incentive to judge us.
I don't know about you, but I was taught to treat others as I want to be treated. The way some of you act, it's like you're opening a door to having yourself being judged for what you do. Because clearly, if you're treating others like that, don't you want to be treated that way too?
I feel very firmly that a certain maturity level needs to be attained before one enters a platform of social media. There is a 13 year old age limit on sites for a reason. That said, I know a lot of bloggers under that age who are very mature, and I commend them.
But circling back around to judging-- I honestly don't know why this has become such of an issue. If you do not like something someone blogs there are two things you can do.
1.) Unfollow/don't read their posts.
2.) Keep your mouth shut.

Sometimes in life we just have to bite our tongues, okay? There's a lot of things and posts I don't necessarily see eye-to-eye with, but you don't see me leaving slight, snide comments. I simply read them, know that I have a differing opinion, and move on with my life. Unless somebody specifically asks for their reader's views/personal opinions, we should all learn to just keep our opinions inside of us.
And something pertaining specifically to Maddie that I feel I should address-- Maddie should not have to "compromise" in any way because of the language she uses. It is her blog-- last I remember, there is no crime for sometimes cussing. As we discussed earlier; if you don't likes something, then by God, unfollow! The poor girl shouldn't have to fret about whether or not she warned you all that she said something in a post.

I've always felt a little out of place in the blogging world. I find it likely that it's the fact I talk about stuff most of you don't know about. Whether it's music, movies, people, etc. Sometimes I feel like I should "dumb things down" in a sense, and not mention anything anymore. I already partially have. I know some of my older readers will remember the completely fandom-induced Adaline of AGITS. I still am her, but I stopped being like that because I knew half, or more, of my readers had no clue what I was discussing. But if there's any conclusion I've come to through all of this, it's that I really don't care anymore. I am completely and utterly done blogging for others when I should be blogging for myself. This is my own corner of the internet. And I'm going to treat it as that.

One last thing I want to address before I sign off and go crawl back into the hole from whence I came.
I'd like to think I'm a very sweet person. I don't like confrontation. But if there's anything that's going to turn my gut and get me annoyed, it's when you tick off my friends. I've always had friends who've got my back and in turn I've got theirs. If I have maddened any of you by this, or ever defended something in the comments, it's not because I want to argue. Come on, guys. You know me. I'm not out to smack talk or lecture anybody-- all I want to do is make sure friends, and anybody else for that matter, are treated right.
It really burns me to know that Maddie wants to quit blogging because her reception in the AG community has gotten worse; all because she may not be a perfect flower child.
'Cause you know what? There are all kinds of different people in the world. And if you girls are going to make someone feel so unwelcome because she's different-- you're going to have a rude awakening when you go out into the world and find that any and every single person on this earth is different, has different personalities and isn't perfect. Good luck trying to fit everybody into your socially acceptable mold.

~We Like It Loud~

What's the point of ever starting this?

Why even put my heart in it?

You see us as a waste of time

Say you give up now, you're gonna fall behind

No! I just can't stop

You talk the game but can you walk the walk?

When ashes is ashes and dust is dirt

I'm gonna be the one that's gonna make you hurt

Sell us the world but we ain't selling out

I said we like it loud, 

Yeah we want that rock n roll sound

No, don't wanna hear no songs on the radio, 

Pumping through my stereo now

Yeah I said we like it loud, 

Turn me up don't ever turn me down

No, don't wanna hear another song on the radio, 

Pumping through my stereo now, now, now

I said we like it loud

Yeah, louder than this

You wanna see what happens when we get ticked?

See a whole revolution of these f---ed up kids

And all it takes is one so it starts like this!

No! You've gone way too far!

We won't get far or let it fall apart

When ashes is ashes and dust is dirt

We're gonna be the one that's gonna make you hurt!

Sell us the world but we ain't selling out

I said we like it loud, 

Yeah we want that rock n roll sound

No, don't wanna hear no songs on the radio,

 Pumping through my stereo now

Yeah I said we like it loud, 

Turn me up don't ever turn me down

No, don't wanna hear another song on the radio, 

Pumping through my stereo now, now, now

I said we like it loud

We like it loud!

Yeah we like it loud!

We like it loud!

I said we like it loud!

These pictures were horrendous in their unedited form, & they still are even with a filter. But it kind of goes with the weird, hazy style I wanted, so I suppose it works. :P
Don't know why Saige ended up looking like Electra Heart, though. Obviously been listening to too much Marina & The Diamonds. >-<

Hello everybody! How are you? Good, I hope. :)

School is out for the year for me; hopefully there'll be an abundance of posting over the next 3 months. I've been meaning to do an update post, but figured I'd just put the information here.

For a while, I've been quite annoyed with having majority of the gals adopted sisters. I find it restraining, story-wise, and after a lot of thinking, I decided that I'm going to switch things up and make everybody belong to different families. The house will be more like a dorm, of sorts, and only a few of the dolls will have relation ties to another.

I haven't worked out how everything is going to work exactly, but when I do, I'll be sure to update the doll page accordingly, and let you all know. :)

Hope you all have a lovely day. <3
