at the pagoda gate

so kaiser serena and i went to a park after the meetup on saturday and took some pictures. most of these are of her lovely volks nono, remmy, and b&g rin, lucient. the first two pictures aren't post-edited, but the rest are. enjoy!

.:more after the jump:.

yay for halloween costumes!

zero to outrage in 4.3 words

so i just saw a thread on doa about the new dollmore limited edition lawrence (nsfw is how i'll label this as a warning). frankly, i'm astounded. from the op on, most of the posts i managed to get through are flat out outrage or statements of offense. really...i think i'm more offended by the posts than by the pictures they're referring to! in fact, i'm not offended by the pictures. they label him as a film noir themed doll, he has a bloody bullet hole in the center of his forehead, and he has sewn up lips. however, none of that is what they are offended about. no no, they're offended by the pictures and what they depict around him.

why do the posts offend me more than doll bodies that are supposedly all female and supposedly depicting dead bodies? because it went from "i'm offended" to "OMG RAPE AND TORTURE AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!!!!" there was one person in what i read before closing the thread in disgust that pointed out the fact that there could be a cultural difference and one or two others who pointed out that kids now days are exposed to worse in media at a younger age. all of them got shut out and basically told that they are wrong. one person posed the question to everyone: what if it was a female doll with male bodies? she was pretty much, imo, screamed at by the person who started the thread.

don't get me wrong, the overly offended people have good points about women who have been abused seeing the pictures and what their reactions might be, or that it might be disturbing for younger children (if they understand). but i don't like how everyone jumped to rape and torture. i mean, what about him being a vengeful spirit? or the fact that it's film noir based? have they even watched any true film noir? it's not like this is super explicit with blood everywhere or anything super gory. in all honesty, there's dolls and depictions on doa - a 13 and over site - that i think are much gorier or explicit than these pictures.

it's not like this is ero guro. hell, quite a few commercials on tv for movies depict more graphic violence and kids see those. whatever. i suppose i'm a cold and heartless person for not seeing the pictures as graphic depictions of sexual and physical violence towards women. i suppose i'm horrible because i see them more as a form of art in keeping with the theme they decided on for the doll. *eye roll*

shameless pimping

because i can, i am pimping my writing blog. look over there on the sidebar and click on the link to notes from no one and nowhere. take a look. i'm sure you'll find something interesting. i really need to post more there...anyway! here's a sneak peek courtesy of note #72:

oh babe, what do you say
i took out my heart today
and let it bleed away
all those ruby drops
of precious hate
i'm the girl
that they'd love to claim
would ruin boys in youth's embrace
we ran stone walls
at the ocean's side
and defaced old photos of you
i kissed other boys to prove
false love
but the untruth became true
burned bridges
salt tears
stained skirt hems
with mud
to my elbows and knees
i birthed a world
beneath my shoes
in graveyards
swamps and fields
we ran as far as we could go
threw epitaphs into the breeze
and slowly found our way
home
in soiled sheets
i lost my wings
and the final traces
of you.

uncontrollable squeeing ensues
