  • I miss r/baddragon. 😢 It was sort of my safe space. I had an upsetting experience the other night and posted in another sub for support, and immediately got spammed with disgusting messages. The mods just told me to block and ignore. That wouldn't have happened in the BD sub. The mods were so good at running a safe place. Reddit may really be dying...
    TFW you learn that a toy company has done some questionable things, but you really, really, REEEEEALLY want one of their toys... X/

    Yikes. How bad are we talking, and is it one you could maybe pick up secondhand?

    It's not like they dump toxic waste into a river, but I saw an interaction they had with a former customer that was just very unprofessional. I was sent the email by that customer, so it's not just gossip.

    I think that ultimately, I will still be a customer, but I'm less comfortable promoting their shop to others. It's sort of a weird line to walk.
    That feeling when most of the selling posts advertise toys that are too small for you... and then you realize that it's a blessing in disguise, because WTF are you doing looking for more dicks to buy? lol

    I've been wanting a new toy for ages. I can't really afford it, and I definitely don't have room for more; there's also the fact that I rarely use the ones I have. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm so broke atm. =P

    I know the feeling. Technically, I should be on a "no-buy" right now. But, so many pretty toys. Plus, my weakness is rainbows. I'm really in trouble when it comes to pride this year....lol.
    AAAAAH! My secondhand buy from the UK came in - an Aurora Nova and a Spitfire in Pride Parfait! Then, just as I was receiving that, I went onto BD's website on a whim, and got a freaking Aurora Virgil!!!!!! Holy crapoly, I never thought I'd get even one Aurora! Now I have two! I can't wait for my BD order to ship!!!

    Even the rogues are unique, so it's a win! I've seen a lot of variation in what is considered Aurora.

    Seriously! I LOVE all the patterns of Aurora. To the light almost not there, to the ultra vibrant heavy saturated ones. Then there are those that only have half the colors present. If one is ultra lucky, sometimes they are both UV and GITD. There have been a couple like that I know of.

    Ooh, a GITD aurora... Talk about a unicorn's unicorn!
    Last week, I bought an aurora Nova and a Pride Parfait Spitfire secondhand from the UK. For a week, Royal Mail has simply said, "We've got it!" These are Christmas gifts for my husband, and I am SO NERVOUS. This would be our first of each color, and I'm so scared that something will go wrong. X/ Anyone have experience with Royal Mail international tracked shipping?

    I buy plushies from a friend semi regularly using the royal mail, and yeah they are just ...unless you springed a lot for shipping it is most likely untracked! i hope hope hope everything goes well!! and hope your hubby is mending up nicely!!

    @veerdin Thank you, he is! In some pain, but he's handling it so well. He just had his post-op appointment, and got the binder off.

    And that's good to know about RM. It's technically tracked, but it seems apparent that that doesn't mean much! Lol

    Royal mail? More like Royal Pain in the Arse mail.
    My husband goes in for surgery tomorrow. I'm shitting a brick over here, but he's excited. I am happy for him, because he's wanted top surgery for a long time now, but my stupid brain keeps going over all that could go wrong. As a distraction, I'm going to fret over my recent secondhand purchase, because worrying about toys is way less frightening than worrying about my husband.

    🎉🎉🎉 yayyy, I'm super glad! he is going be a groggy boy for a few days, but I bet he is feeling great!

    He's actually pretty alert! I'm quite sleepy, though, because all last night I had to keep him from raising his arm in his sleep. Lol He does that reflexively. Today he said he isn't in much pain, but I started him on his pain meds early so that it doesn't begin to hurt. He's going through this like a champion, and I'm so proud of him! Thank you for all of your encouragement! 💜

    Oof, sorry to hear that ☹
    Which toy(s) did they ghost on?
    Lapras_Lass
    Lapras_Lass
    Thanks. I've never had that happen before! One was Elliot, and the other was Stan. Both messaged me on Reddit saying they were interested, and then I never heard from them again. I hope it's not a trend with Reddit in particular. Maybe just bad luck. Maybe it's the etiquette on there - who knows?

    Ah that's a shame :/ I can only imagine how upsetting that can be.

    While I haven't ventured into the reddit listings much to say it's not common there, I'd say from what I've seen across all markets, is it comes and goes everywhere. So hopefully, but no less disappointing, is it's just bad luck.
    I've decided to bundle items together, taking $10 off the total price for each additional item bought. I have eight more to sell, so feel free to browse!
    Me: AAAAH A WBT Kobold in deep sea/gold swirl would be fantastic!

    My Wallet: Yes, but no.

    I can totally relate. I've decided I'm on no-buy until Black Friday (at the least).
    First day back in the hobby was yesterday. This is how poor my self control has become:

    "I'm just gonna pop in and sell a few dicks that have been cluttering up the place."

    "Oh, good! I sold a couple! Now I can really focus on the ones I love. I can ease back into collecting, take my time, find some good deals, aaaaaand I've bought a TTC Cortez."

    It's good to be back.
    Been thinking of trying a custom from TTC, but can't choose a model. Croxic, Cortez, or Alto? Hmmm...
    Woke up to a surprise fire inspection today! Didn't have time to hide the dick shelf. Sorry, inspectors. *shrug*
    Black Rainbow Kobold and Dwarf have arrived from Pleasure Forge, and they are GORGEOUS! Honestly, I love their pours even more than BD's. They're going to do some more rainbows soon, too, so be sure to check them out!
