Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

if ever I get married and have children....or when one of my younger cousins are old enough, Luka is going right to them, because I know for a fact that they will care for him as much as I do now, that and I know that he will be in a good home...but until that day, he stays with me...I think hes starting to like ohio

 

I feel what makes dolls "alive" is how you feel about them and what you bring to them. So if I were dead it wouldn't really matter unless it mattered to someone else who cared about the dolls specifically.

 

Yup.. u're right. When we alive, we are the one who support them but once when we die, it seems to be useless to them as they might be dead too unless there got another owner can replace it. I just feel like the movie Rozen Maiden. Shinku need Jun's poweer to support her. XD I also feel, when I'm sad or tired or sick, I feel my girl very weak and her smilling is gone. She seems to be like me gone ill too.

 

At this moment I am 21 and have a boyfriend.. in a few months we are going to live together and then we want a baby... and get married.. I think I'll pass my doll on to my kid(s) ofcourse I'll learn him/her/them haha.. how to take care of the doll properly

 

I suppose I would hand them down to my children someday, but to be honest I will be dead, my husband will probably be too grieved to think about them, and well, they are dolls. They don't have souls, burning or burying them won't kill them, they have no emotions and won't "care" if I died anyway. They are here for me to enjoy today and I'd love to pass them along to a family member, but if not I won't be around to complain what happens to them.

 

I don't know if anyone's started this, but I was curious.

This might be mildly depressing, but... where would the dolls go when you're "over" the BJD hobby?

I was actually thinking about writing in my will what I would want done with my dollfies if anything was to ever happen to me. ^^;;;

Has this ever crossed anyone else's mind how you would want your BJDs to be taken care of if anything were to happen to you?

 

If I wanted out of the hobby, I'd sell them. If I died, I have a spread sheet with all of my dolls, their original cost, etc., so that my family will know how to sell them.

No one, and I mean no one, will keep my dolls. I know better than to even ask. My family tolerates my habit and indulges me by buying me things for dolls, but they don't get it.

 

First off, I'd need a will. No one in my family even understands the hobby so I'd want them going to people who'll love them and the character they hold.

 

I've thought about it...

I'll never just get tired of these guys. I know myself well enough to know that, so it isn't an issue of sending them on while I'm still kicking. For me, it's what'll happen to them after I'm on my way to my next incarnation.

I have very specific wishes for a few of them...
- Harumatsu stays with me. (When they put my urn of ashes into that little cubbyhole at the cemetery, he goes too. Somebody's gonna get haunted if he doesn't. >_<)
- Teacup stays with BSR.
- Tien Jen and Kessari go to Fuan and Fanuel.

Beyond that, I trust BSR and my friends to find proper homes for the others... Hopefully I'll have a neice or a nephew some day who'll be interested, or my god-daughter will still love them.^_^

 

my friend and i agreed, whoever dies first, gets each others dolls, we need to make a contract some day, and i'll haunt her if she turns the girls into boys! willis was a girl unoa sist, lol. my family said they were going to put them on ebay for 50 dollars, i would haunt their butts forever then!

 

Not like I've planned for it, but I think my dolls would somehow end up with my best friend anyway, since he's the only other person I know who's even slightly interested in BJD.

 

I want to be cremated - so burial is pretty much out. Plus, they don't deserve to be buried where no one can enjoy them! I'd pass them down to my children if I have any.

 

I wanna be creamated and my urn given to my kids. I want Zel and Eden with me gaurding my urn.

 

I said before in this thread that Kiyoshi would go to Kai Nimura and most likely a few other dolls will go to her as well.

Depending on what my status in life is when I die...Bailey will be either with me or my kids along with one of my planed dolls. Everyone else will be handed off to DOA for auction.

 

I've mentioned at one point to my sister that I'd want all of my dolls to be buried with me if I died. I'd be holding Heat clasped to my chest and everyone else would be lying on either side of me -girls on the right and boys on the left. XD;;;

 

if i were to die now, i'd leave them all to my sister. she adores my dolls and i know she'd be honored to take them were i to die. since i don't really intend to have children and she's 14 years my junior, she's the most logical choice. if for some reason my sister can't take them, i may find someone else to take them...or i may leave a request to have them sold here or on ebay and have that money donated to charity.

 

If I were to die, my boy (along with many of my other possessions) would go to my little sister. I know she would take better care of him and appreciate him more than a friend or cousin.

 

I intend to pass my dolls on to my kids when they're old enough :3 Hopefully I'll pass on my love of the hobby, so that they'll at least display them, if not play with them and all. So when I die, my kids will have my dolls - it's up to them what to do with them afterwards XD It's nice to think that my dolls could be passed down from generation to generation... ^^

Er, I don't have kids yet, of course... I'm still working on aquiring a significant other XD; But I don't want to think about dying before I've had the opportunity to raise children :'D

 

No clue. I don't know anyone who likes dolls, so no one to give them to. I guess I'd just have my family sell them, unless they wanted to keep them... which I doubt.

 

Wow I posted here a long time ago, and my original statements still hold, except now I have more dolls and different relationships with each. Corpselight would have to go to ViolentViolet, becuase she knows his character better than anyone. Devin would need to go with him I am pretty certain. If for some reason they didn't go to Vi they would have to join Arkady's elves. At this point Cain and Brenda do not have a final destination and I guess my new husband, who is a DOA er DarkBunny would take them and either find the people who would love them, care for them himself or send them on to new lives via sale.
