    I used to wet toilet paper and tissues and place them over the faces on my dolls, and then they would dry and harden and I could make masks. My mother expressed that this is not how we should play with dolls.

    I got a 2 liter pepsi bottle and filled it with a bunch of crazy shit to try and make a potion. Things like toothpaste and ketchup and a bunch of other horrible stuff. Seeing it coagulate inside like some sort of homunculus made me think I was really onto something

      I tried something similar, but I was using small drops of parfume, some grass I plucked outside, other random organic stuff and a pot. The pot was on a lit stove. You can imagine how delightfully it must have smelled…

    I always had strange feeling like I’m pregnant (can’t explain exactly that feeling) but I had feeling, and kinda wished I could experience actually being pregnant. Well turns out I was not really a man, I was trans girl. I was never fat, but I did had little bigger stomach and would get weird and kinda happy feeling of it actually being me pregnant. I never had sex, and I know, and knew back then how to become pregnant but still got that feeling

    Like I don’t plan on having children or marrying, at least not in traditional sense but I do wish I could experience pregnancy and be surrogate mother.

    No, I don’t remember a single instance of play pretending to be a bride. I do remember several of play pretending to be a Dad though. For the record - I’m still a straight woman, always been. I don’t know what lady in pink is going on about.

    Can relate but I made potions in the bath. With various colors of shampoo. In actual glass test tubes and such from the science supply store (probably not wise @my parents but all the little glass bottles were adorable).

      Holy shit you just reminded me of my childhood.
      I remember mixing all the things I could find in the bathroom because I thought it would make your hair grow faster and might be the secret to immortality, because none of the scientists would have considered mixing dove and palmolive together.

        Completely plausible! Have you aged since? Or stopped aging at 27?

        Edit: If not maybe you needed to add a few drops of purple eyeglass-cleaner sample.

          I have aged since but I’m not quite 27 yet, so maybe it worked?
          I’ll try adding that eyeglass cleaner and let you know how it’s going when I’m 40.

    I made scrambled eggs out of sticks and leaves, and I used the camcorder to make stop-motion videos of my toy cars

    I brewed alchemical potions for my action figures - Batman needed to stfu and drink his protein shake!

    I never pretended to be a bride. I didn’t see many weddings as a kid, so probably not a lot of reason to latch onto that. Plus, pretending to be a princess is much better! Fancy dress, but more color options and you also get to boss people around. Also, no lame boys needed.

      To this day I’ve only attended one wedding and one funeral, I’m more sheltered than most real princesses 👸

      I never played princess. I always wanted to play queen. Married, mature and with power, sounded like a much better deal.
