*sings* I fucking hate this fandom with the fire of a thousand suns
I fucking hate this fandom
I was all set to have this be a relatively chill launch because I wasn't super trying to get a set for me. I mean, it'd have been nice but I was mostly trying as a backup for Cass and Jess.
Yeah, none of us made it out of the queue. Cass had the shortest wait and it literally sold out as she was checking out. Mine sold out and then held me in limbo for another three minutes.
I knew as soon as my waiting room thing said 8 minutes I wasn't getting one but it was vexing to see so many people on the fucking MH Mattel forum playing the "why is everyone so mad, they're just dolls" after posting about how easy it was for them to get theirs. But you call them on it and you're misreading tone. Um. No. I very carefully pointed out that some people were empathetic and others were callous douchebags but y'know, what the fuck ever. There's a reason I always regret going there on release day. It's basically only worth going if you got what you wanted. If not, they want you to choke on sunshine.
I will say I should probably be careful of how annoyed I let myself become because the last time I spent a good solid five minutes mentally flipping someone off there, they died. Not even kidding.
In other news, I may be extra cranky because a) the dreaded two periods in one month has happened and b) I think with the combo of my walk around the neighborhood the other day, the jaunt to the beach, and the walk to the little free library today, I think I have a sunburn. Fuck a duck. Why is it 80+ in October?
