What an amazing job, I always love your cutesy dupsey dolls so much 🙈❤️ edit: OMG im so glad Charlotte gave you so much inspiration for your own doll clothes 🥺💕❤️
ok,i just wanna say i recently found about that she isnt doing the wendigo doll anymore is a part of the chanel no matter what can sombody pls explain why that was so insensitive
Ikr! Dollightfulls dolls are always so pretty! So are yours DollMotion! I love both of yall dolls, I even attempted to customize my own! (Ps: It sucked lol)
I don’t think most people understand how important representation is- my grandma has been in a wheelchair for most of her life and has kept a limited edition Barbie with a wheelchair for over 20 years I really hope doll makers make more disabled dolls they really do mean a lot :)
taking a moment to appreciate how realistic the wheelchair seems? it's not a bulky hospital kind like a lot of people tend to think they are, it's light for good mobility, provides the ability for her to wheel herself - see those gloves?? ahh it's nice to see this kind of disabled rep
@@sidiwvwhi mhm! Any time she does a doll that's diverse, she uses a lot of reference pictures For example, african dolls! She researches box braids(faun art doll vid), waves, curls She even put the small detail of african men having deepset eyes into her pride doll! And, for her pride doll, she didn't just use the raindow flag She included the trans flag(hair), pan flag(nails), and bi flag(shirt) Sorry for info dumping lol, I just really like this channel!
I’m sobbing!!I’m disabled, I’ve been like this since the start of quarantine because of a car crash.Dollightful. If your reading this.Thank you!I finally feel apart of something, Really. Thank you :)
Holy smokes, that sounds terrible. Hope you and any loved ones are alright by now and you didn’t suffer a greater loss. I really do love this channel and the inclusivity is so great
From one disabled person to another I hope you're doing alright ❤️ take care and don't be afraid to reach out to disability communities on different platforms. There's lots of us over on Twitter!
I'm not physically disabled myself but I love reading everyone in the comments who are overjoyed to see the representation! I know how that feels and it makes me so happy to see.
i really love how Katherine was just like "oh here's a fun colorful wheelchair for our little lolita cutie!" at the very end, and not making the entire video "oh, look how inclusive i am!!"
Same! She does representation right. She creates representation without pandering as in real life, people probably don’t want to be defined only by one aspect of themselves.
@@Cookiejar83 yes! same with Aquarien she was just like "yeah, their prolly enby" then just carried on! as a non binary myself that made me so happy that one of my favorite TH-camrs made a gender non-conforming character!
As someone who suffers from a chronic illness and has thought about using mobility aids before, this doll was absolutely amazing to see!! It helps to normalize people using mobility aids but still being able to stand and walk on their own! Thank you so much for this doll, she is beautiful and my new favorite❤️❤️
Yes! Not everyone who uses mobility aids use them all the time. I have a friend who was accused of child abuse because someone at their complex noticed that her daughter uses a wheelchair, a walker, and sometimes walking canes. They thought she was either injuring her repeatedly or forcing her to use them. We were all appalled that someone would believe that, but also not understand that some people my need mobility aids sometimes but not all the time. Anyways, I hope you take the leap and consider your needs above other's misconceptions. If your life would be better and enriched by having an aid, then you have nothing to loose and so much to gain! I consider it no different than choosing any other form of self care. We need what we need. Ya know? Wishing you the best.
@bearybear711 I made the decision to start using an aid after a really draining convention 2019... I only use it part time mainly when I'm by myself or in really bad flares and I honestly thought it would be a much bigger transition into my life than it was. I did get some response with work but if you communicate well with your HR they will help you if that is one of your reasons for not (would bring walker to work but than needed it stored during my shift as wouldn't be safe to leave out with the kids running around)...also I'm only 28
Aw it’s sad that you may not be able to walk properly but you all must have some special ability that you have or have not found yet. My mother always says that disabled people always have some special talents others don’t
I still have to use a cane from time to time after my hip surgery, and I often get a lot of dirty looks because I’m so young. I can walk fine 99% of the time, but overdoing it exhausts the muscles they had to cut through for surgery, and sometimes they spasm. Definitely normalize mobility aids for people that appear “normal”!
can we please just appreciate the fact that she's a part time wheelchair user, rather then full time! as this shows that not all wheelchair users are dependant on their chairs, which as a part time wheelchair users, I have struggled with this stereotype since I was little. So this is fabulous representation!
YESS, I have a friend in my Girl Scout troop who uses one, and she was so nice to explain how it worked to me and I’ve never seen anyone mention it in any media I’m sorry I’m just so fucking happy❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not apart of the disabled community, but I was honestly surprised when I saw the wheelchair. She didn't put it in the title or the thumbnail like "Disabled doll!" or anything like that. She doesn't say like "omg guys i'm so inclusive with all my dolls, let me tell you" she just...did it. And honestly I think it's a nice breath of fresh air.
Not only did it come out of seemingly nowhere (that key chain makes sense now, huh?) but she doesn't expand on why she made it or what inspired it. It's just "This is my newest lolita, she has a super cute dress that I spent hours on and look at this tiny backpack! Also she's a part-time wheelchair user, I've got a tutorial and pattern for the wheelchair too if you're interested. ANYWAY, look how cute her hair and dress are! I love pastels and lolita fashion!!!!! AUNYUNG!!!! ^U^" Dolligtful is a queen and I love her
10:00 I love the fact that Katherine has worked with various power tools, constructed functioning homemade circuits, sewn meticulously detailed outfits, mastered clay sculpting, dismembered and reconstructed entire dolls, managed multiple social media accounts AND collaborated with numerous big creators and industry professionals, but is still afraid of doing jacket linings 😭💟
Well. Honestly there are some things that your scared your gonna mess up on. And dissapoint people or make them ask why you couldn't do it or why you were scared to. I'm scared of multiple things because of how I feel the outcome might be- Maybe thats why ? 😅
At this point everything on her channel is either a badass dragon, a terrifying Halloween custom, or a Lolita/pastel doll. And I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM
"Idealy if you want to stich up a dolls head you should use a curved needle but you can brute force it with a normal needle" If you brute force it perfectly the straight needles can become curved
I always love how diverse Dollightful dolls are. They have different skin tones, different types of hair, disabilities that really make the doll stand out. Thanks for making dolls more diverse than I've ever seen edit: thank you for the likes
This meant so much to me as a disabled person. I had to use a chair for the first time at work today and it was hard. But then I come home and see this!!!! My heart
This made me remember the time my sister broke one of her doll's leg. The leg was torn apart in a way that I could't fix it without compleatly gluing it (maybe I could if it would happen now but I was 10 years old at the time). She was really upset about it so I made a wheelchair using cardbox and bottle caps. The wheels weren't moving and it looked like garbage but I was really proud of it and my sister loved it!
that you wanted to help shows what an amazing sib you are. that you came up with a way within your abilities To help shows you're also a very creative and thoughtful person to boot. i think anyway. ^_^
@@Um_236 Yep! Especially when stopping, starting, and turning. Your hands can get super calloused and blistered doing that all the time if you’re not careful, it can even cause joint issues. Extra protection from cold and rain helps too
Eeee!! The wheelchair really caught me by surprise, disabled people never get recognition 🥺💕 it's especially nice to see a wheelchair made just for her, as opposed to a plain black/blue chair
Yes! I’m so happy, she didn’t even rub it in your face. “Oh look at me I’m adding a wheelchair, this doll is going to be disabled” she just “hehe cute wheelchair”
Like I could have missed it, but I don't thinks she even had it in the title, it just shows she genuinely loves making dolls like this and that makes me so happy.
Katherine does such an amazing job normalizing so many different levels of diversity! And it’s not advertiser-friendly diversity either; it’s the real deal. Her dolls were some of the first non-binary, BIPOC, and body-type inclusive representation I’ve found in a TH-cam community that thrives off of character creation/design. When addressing ethnicity, she does her research. When building different bodies, she makes sure they’re functional (and I know that’s a character design thing, but still). Katherine normalizes the unique differences that make us the individuals we are, and that’s so important to actually attaining equal rights (across all forms of oppression). None of Katherine’s characters are treated as “other” within her own collection, and I want more people to think the way she does when it comes to inclusion. And also I think a neurodivergent, ADHD/ADD, and/or EFD (executive functioning disorder) inclusive doll would be cool as heck and interesting to watch the design process thereof. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Cordially, African American Genderqueer individual with EFD, generalized anxiety disorder, chronic pain disorder and many more life-long challenges that I have yet to identify
@@brinnc-o9065 im glad we agree, ive always felt impressed by how low key and sensitively Katherine introduces diversity, always just seems like the next and most obvious choice, no effort. But im not a very diverse person so i dont have an inherent sense of how it feels to the included audience. I was thinking, how do you show neurodivergence though?! But then remembered my good friend has dark green dyslexia reading glasses... 🤔
I am genuinely obsessed with the way this video was cut together... most people would’ve gone out of their way to advertise this doll has a disability through the whole video, but she literally treated it as another accessory. This is how disability should be treated; it’s not an advertising point, it’s just part of who we are. Thank you Darling 💖
Im a disabled girl and it means a lot that you did a little disabled doll! Sometimes it feels like everyone forgets about us, and I appreciate that you didn’t ❤️
I love that you show her standing but also sitting in her wheelchair. Not every wheelchair user is confined to their chair because of paralysis or because of another disorder that renders their legs useless. I have an invisible illness that causes me a lot of pain and can limit what I do. Say for instance I wanted to go to the state fair or zoo, I'd need to use a wheelchair because I can't walk for very long without hurting myself. Yet I don't need to use one in day to day life if that makes sense. Edit: wow.. I didn't expect this to blow up. I'm glad I could reach so many people and educate them.
@@pearlmoon3057 yeah of course 😊 in my experience I feel like the vast majority of people don't know that unless they have friends or are related to a person that uses a wheelchair like I do.
Yes!! My Nana uses a wheelchair when she has to go out, but she doesnt use it at home bc she can walk around. Shes just slow moving bc of her ms. I was at a store with her once and she stood up from her wheelchair to get something and a woman glared at her over it. People dont realize that sometimes folks in wheelchairs can still stand.
@@Soupcowboy I know 😑 it's disappointing. I get glared at all the time if I stand up from my chair to use the restroom. Its usually older folks who glare and talk trash. Go figure. I don't like bringing it in there because it's a public restroom and you get people from all walks of life with all different kinds of diseases and stds. I just don't want to spread potential germs/diseases since I don't own my on chair and I usually borrow the chair from the place I'm at. I don't want to risk spreading those germs to someone who's imunocomprimised or has an auto immune disorder.
@@TheMadWrldEffct Lets just say...i dated a katherine and she basc made someone write a break up message, lied about me sexually assaulting her, lied about me taking advantage of her fucking SISTER and kept ghosting me and was secretly cheating on me lol
I'm crying over a doll depicting an ambulatory wheelchair user. Also, the babe with a mobility aid keychain hit my heart so hard. As someone who will be facing loss of mobility continuously for the majority of my life, seeing someone outside of the chronic illness community acknowledging us as people who can enjoy alternative fashions and rock it, this will forever be one of my favorite dolls Katherine has ever made. She's gorgeous and the meticulous nature in which you created ever detail will always be mesmerising. Thank you so much.
@@liltaxfraud5292 that has nothing to do with anything. If someone slightly annoys you that doesn't mean they deserved to get bullied by jerks like you.
@@reillydoran2459 yeah they do this is the real world if you're annoying then you'll get called out for it it's like if I wrote a comment whining about my dead grandpa or something nobody cares and somebody will call me out for being an obnoxious twit
i’m physically disabled and occasionally need my wheelchair when i’m not doing well - everything about this is so beautiful and your attention to every detail (including her chair!) never ceases to amaze me!
You wanna know what I'd love to see Katherine attempt some day? A punk doll- or at least, pastel punk. I just know that she'll put her own spin on it that makes it so "Dollightful" yet still respectful to the genre. Anyone else agree?
It would be cool to see her make one like she did her nature doll (using alot of found materials like twigs and recycling scraps) since punk is a very DIY fashion
This is just a suggestion- Have you ever thought of making an Albino character? Albinos are people who are born with extremely light skin and even lighter hair, and dark eyes, sometimes red.
Actually, I don’t think people with albinism have dark/red eyes, because they lack skin, hair, and other pigmentation, i think their irises are like clear I think, and the light can make it look red/purple
As a disabled person I wanna say thank you for making a doll with a disability, disability’s (especially invisible ones) don’t get nearly enough representation
@@moxleyismad7212 Yesss- I have seizures too which is caused by my primary disability which is a rare one I can't remember spelling- but my secondary is Cerebral palsy!
I love how katherine didnt make the doll all about how shes disabled. It really shows that she doesnt think of this doll any different or special. Her inclusivity is amazing and I live to see her work ❤
seeing the wheelchair at the end made my heart jump, its so nice to see physically disabled people like myself represented in ANYTHING, even doll customizing!! thank you so much dollightful this made my day :))
im so happy you decided to give her a mobility aid! my names charlee (similar :D ) and i have an invisible disorder which can make my joints super achey after a short amount of movement and makes breaks/ sprains hurt for longer, so much so that i use crutches to move around sometimes. however im lucky enough to not have to use them all the time and its amazing to see this represented in a doll :)
I have a similar disorder!! I had to use crutches for most of middle school, and then I got a wheelchair because the crutches made the joints in my arms hurt worse. This video made me so happy, and seeing comments like these make me feel less alone, it's really wonderful to see!!❤️❤️❤️
Just a small idea what about a doll with vitiligo? Like a super cute Lolita doll, cause i notice a lot of them have something really unique and different
That cat charm is from a book series, "Chi's sweet home" It's crying, I would guess because she lost her mama from chasing a butterfly. I don't think almost anything else would make her cry cuz shes so clueless and selfish xD
When I saw the tiny little “#babewithamobilityaid” keychain I was like “oh my god no way no way no way what is she gonna do ommgggg” and NOTHING could’ve prepared me for that SUPER cute wheelchair oh my goodness!!! 😭😭😭💕💕💕✨ I’m a disabled person myself with my own colourful chair (and a lolita!) and this just broke me (but in the good way!) it is SO GOOD. This is hands down my favourite doll you’ve ever done, she is perfect. I cannot WAIT for your chair tutorial I will absolutely be making one (or several!). I collect toy wheelchairs but there’s so few out there and it’s so hard to find the right size for specific toys to make use of so this is just everything, I’m so excited!!! 💖✨
I had that same reaction as someone who also uses a wheelchair and dresses Lollita when I feel up to it. It is so lovely to see someone make a disabled doll! I hope you have a great day!
I was about to make a similar comment when I saw yours! I'm also a disabled lolita and cheered so loud at the "babe with a mobility aid" keychain that I scared my chinchilla. I literally have a "babe with a mobility aid" sticker on my cane!
The fact that just a week ago I was gushing to a friend about Dollightful being probably one of the most mindfully inclusive customizers out there with race, genders, sexualities, & body types. & then she continues to keep me amazed & inspired by creating a doll with a disability?????? We love to see it. Excellent work yet again!!!
Something you might want to add for this dolls wheelchair is a few stickers on the side. I love to decorate my chair with stickers and so do other disabled people I know
@@Dollightful The DollyGeek made ears for his Mario Princess's by using apoxy sculpt, that could be helpful. I'm really sorry the Wendigo doll video and the doll itself had to get taken down Katherine, but don't give up maybe you can turn her into something else like a vampire, yokai, ghost, grim reaper, pokemon, Witch doctor, day of the dead, Druid, or an undead dragon. I've believe Wendy the Wendigo deserves a much better form than to just be thrown away. I am truly sorry Katherine, I have been going through loads of stress and bad times too. But I believe in hope for a better tomorrow, I've seen your work & I know your doing better than ever. Don't beat yourself up Dollightful you work so hard to produce dolls for us and you never get a break, I hope you enjoyed this doll! I know your fans do! 💖✨🌱. :)
The wheelchair is so cool. She's so cute. I use a wheelchair on occasion to get around so i definitely think she's one of my favorites you've created so far.
almost a year ago i ran into an a hole in the comments below the acquarian video about making a disabled doll. they asked what the point of making a "crippled" doll was. needless to say i was so happy to see charley a year later lmao. as a disabled person with many disabled friends, i think she's my favorite doll on the channel to date. edit: i absolutely adore the attention to detail in the wheelchair and how she made it based on actual custom wheelchairs and not just hospital chairs.
As someone who is permanently confined to a wheelchair, I appreciate this doll so so so much. I often feel left out of representation in creators artwork and/or projects. Thank you so much Katherine. I love all your dolls but this one is dear to me. Thank you again❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I AM SO HAPPY!!! It is such a rarity to see disabled dolls!! To see one that is so like me is just such a joy!! There is such a wide variety of mobility aids that you could add to dolls too- cute canes, different styles of walkers, joint braces, to see one of them made my day!
i love how she doesn’t say stuff like “oh i made this wheelchair for her look at how representative i am” instead of making a big deal out of it she’s just like “oh here’s this super cute wheelchair!”
An idea I just thought of! I myself is a goth, and would love to see a proper goth doll (I know we have Tatsuo, but I wanna see the girly craze with lace and accessories), but you love the colorful, pastel lolita dolls so much, how about a pastel goth? I'd love love love to see that :3
Catherine, I’m not gonna lie, i genuinely teared up when I saw the wheelchair. As someone with an invisible disability that effects me a lot and means I sometimes must use a wheelchair myself it meant a lot to see you, someone who I admire so much include this detail. I started watching you just before my health began to decline and your videos have been one of the few things that really cheer me up when I can’t cope with my pain levels, so from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so, so much for including the wheelchair and disabled tag on her bag ❤️
i've commented on this video so many times but the excitement i feel every time i rewatch it and the memory of slowly realizing charley would be in a wheelchair as i first watched the video (the hands with gloves, the babe w/ a mobility aid tag on her backpack, and then the full reveal of her chair) brings me so much genuine joy. i love this doll and the fact that you took the time and put so much love and effort into her and making her seem real means so much to me!
As soon as I saw the wheelchair I started crying. I'm chronically ill and in order to hang out with my friends, I have to be mobile for most of the day and having a wheelchair has made me comfortable knowing that I have an option if I'm not strong enough to walk. Thank you for never being afraid to look outside the box 😊❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Charley: I want this backpack Charlotte (her adoptive big sister): no Charley, you have 50 other backpacks Charley: :( Charlotte, trying to resist the puppy eyes: f-fine...
I’m actually so happy u did a doll with a wheelchair, I’m not a full time wheelchair user but I do normally go in my wheelchair for days out and hospital appointments, it makes me so happy seeing stuff like this -w-
I love how she's always trying new hairstyles for her re-paints and re-customs. I feel like at this point, she could do box braids with the amount of talent that she has
Probably depends on finding the right material that looks like it. I do know that as of her blue stock box oceanic doll she couldn't actually braid nylon doll hair. Still, it would be nice to see!
I am all most wheel chair bound and I rarely see people representing my community. Thank you so much this means more to me than you know. I am so greatful. Thank you.
Same. Any time we have to go out for groceries or anything that requires a lot of walking I need a wheelchair. I'm trying to get my own but they're so expensive.
i KNOW i’m 2 years late but i love how inclusive you are with all of your dolls. you always take the time to make them their own people and i think that’s beautiful. i also love how you don’t make it a whole thing about how supportive you’re being while doing so. please never stop doing what you do
BIG SAME especially with the lolita fashion!! Ive had people tell me i couldn't really be disabled because i wear cute hyper feminine fashion (like lolita, im just too poor for lolita specifically lol)
Lmao srry forgot my point, which is that with that negative it just makes seeing this make me like a million times happier cause it's like someone bein like "its okay you're a valid bean"
I'm having big feelings right now over how much I love this doll, the inclusivity, how skilled you are, and how much time and dedication it must have taken to build all those skills, and I just. Gosh, I love your channel so much. You're very competent at what you and I admire you a ton
Quit fucking using glitter. It's TERRIBLE for the environment. You guys like tiny particles of shiny plastic seeping into your pores, huh? Don't have enough micro particles of plastic built up in your blood stream, and bodily tissue already?
I'd like to think, when Katherine customizes a doll, the other dolls discuss with each other what the new doll will become. And they welcome the newly customized doll into their little community. ❤
I’m curious to know if the lil keychain that says “babe with mobility aid” is from Annika Victoria? If so that’s really adorable!!! I’m really excited to see how the wheelchair will be made!
That is where I heard it from! Did Annika start that hashtag herself? I was looking over people who used it on instagram to find some awesome ladies with mobility aids for inspiration. Shucks, if I had know she invented the hashtag I would have credited her! I'm a big fan.
@@Dollightful I'm really sorry the Wendigo doll video and the doll itself had to get taken down Katherine, but don't give up maybe you can turn her into something else like a vampire, yokai, ghost, grim reaper, pokemon, Witch doctor, day of the dead, Druid, or an undead dragon.

Dollightful I believe she did!! That’s where I first heard it and I think she has merch with that hashtag. I also think she would really love your doll!!! You should definitely tag her on instagram when ya post about Charley!
I still regularly watch this video as a wheelchair user bc LOOK AT HER!!!! She looks so alive and her chair is right and its *decorated*. It's just. So nice to see
Oh my god, I'm not even a wheelchair user but I'm really about to cry over this 💗 I have NEVER seen a doll with mobility aids, let alone a wheelchair user that isn't 100% bound to the chair 😭😭 You've always been the most amazing doll customizer to me for this stuff, thank you for making such wonderful inclusive works 💗💕
Same here. I use a wheelchair as a mobility aid but I can still walk. So many people are under the impression that those in chairs can’t walk at all and when they see you out of it they think you’re faking.
Same, you said it so much better than I ever could. There's this huge misconception that people who use wheelchairs cannot stand at all, and when they do stand that they must be faking their disability. It really gets under my skin when people say stuff about faking a disability when they don't even know what they're talking about. I'm most likely going to end up using a wheelchair because of my joint condition. So it just really irks me when people think wheelchair users have to sit 100% of the time.
@@C.K.Productions exactly! People think I'm not blind just because I love video games, anime and animation (drawing too) yet I have less than 10% vision. I'm so happy she made a disabled doll :)
Joining you guys! Wheelchair user who can walk too and people get confused about it. Even once a lady faced a streetlamp because she saw me getting up from my wheelchair, lol right. And one man called me a fraud when he saw me getting up, thankfully after explanation he did understood. This doll made me so happy and that there is similar people here.
Hi! Disabled person here. I LOVE the wheelchair! When I saw the “#babewithmobilityaid” I immediately got super excited! I also liked how you included her standing because a lot of wheelchair users CAN walk and stand! Charley is super cute, I love her!
I spent most of my teen years as an ambulatory wheelchair user and let me tell you the joy at that little detail was immense. So many people think you can only use a wheelchair full time and accused me of faking. Charley is adorable and I love her
I knew right from the reroot I was going to love her but oh my WORD. She is the sweetest. And I love love LOVE how you took the fingerless gloves from the original doll and made them wheelchair gloves. What a brilliantly simple idea that gave way to such an adorable fun design. And it was just no big thing, which I also love; no “oh look at this big surprise,” just gave her a cool keychain and a wheelchair because it’s whatever, that’s what she needed. You’re a delight. 💕💞💕
WHEN I TELL YOU I ALMOST *CRIED* SEEING THE WHEELCHAIR. i have a lot of issues with walking and ive found myself having to use wheelchairs several times in my life. its really wonderful to see you making something like this! i absolutely adore her!!!
Katherine! This is amazing! You deserve a self care doll and a good break! You work so hard to produce dolls for us and you never get a break, I hope you enjoyed this doll! I know your fans do! 💖✨🌱
I’m so excited you made this doll! I got into doll customizing recently and wanted to have some of my dolls disabled, but since there was almost no representation of OOAK disabled dolls I didn’t know where to start! Thanks you!
She is GORGEOUS and I love the diversity between your characters, it’s amazing how much work you put into these dolls. This makes me want to be a part of the doll customizing community. :)
What an amazing job, I always love your cutesy dupsey dolls so much 🙈❤️ edit: OMG im so glad Charlotte gave you so much inspiration for your own doll clothes 🥺💕❤️
Awh! Honestly I do not know what Dollightful meant by one clip..
☆Awwww!☆
the friendship you guys have is so wholesome 🥺
Hi
ok,i just wanna say i recently found about that she isnt doing the wendigo doll anymore is a part of the chanel no matter what can sombody pls explain why that was so insensitive
Yasss! Pink lolita doll!
Love you lmao :>
Ikr! Dollightfulls dolls are always so pretty! So are yours DollMotion! I love both of yall dolls, I even attempted to customize my own! (Ps: It sucked lol)
What do you only have three comments?!
Hahaha poopy
Yes ❤️
I don’t think most people understand how important representation is-
my grandma has been in a wheelchair for most of her life and has kept a limited edition Barbie with a wheelchair for over 20 years
I really hope doll makers make more disabled dolls they really do mean a lot :)
that is precious. thank you for sharing. i hope your gram is living her best life
My late grandma loved getting Barbies for me (she was wheelchair bound since 12) and I 100% would’ve gotten one if I could find one!!
I mean, u can just purchase a toy wheelchair and use it on ur doll...
@@black1cat21 yeah but a doll with a wheelchair is just better.
@@alexanderpumpkin3423 its the same difference
taking a moment to appreciate how realistic the wheelchair seems? it's not a bulky hospital kind like a lot of people tend to think they are, it's light for good mobility, provides the ability for her to wheel herself - see those gloves?? ahh it's nice to see this kind of disabled rep
as someone who was an ambulatory user in high school, it’s so nice to see the little touches like the pin and the gloves :,)
she clearly does lots of research which is really nice
@@sidiwvwhi mhm! Any time she does a doll that's diverse, she uses a lot of reference pictures
For example, african dolls! She researches box braids(faun art doll vid), waves, curls
She even put the small detail of african men having deepset eyes into her pride doll!
And, for her pride doll, she didn't just use the raindow flag
She included the trans flag(hair), pan flag(nails), and bi flag(shirt)
Sorry for info dumping lol, I just really like this channel!
I’d have to agree!!!

I know this isn’t really her doll style but I’d love to see her take on a gothic type doll with bold eyeliner and maybe even some chunky boots.
YES! I think Hextian makes some dolls like that!
id love to see this omg
Yeah I think she needs to step outside her comfort zone. She makes so many pink/pastel dolls it’d be great to see some different ones

Same! She does representation right. She creates representation without pandering as in real life, people probably don’t want to be defined only by one aspect of themselves.
@@Cookiejar83 yes! same with Aquarien she was just like "yeah, their prolly enby" then just carried on! as a non binary myself that made me so happy that one of my favorite TH-camrs made a gender non-conforming character!

your pfp is making me panic but yeah i agree
I love how you don’t advertise the fact that she is a wheelchair user, it’s part of who you are not a marketing device
I didnt even know that she was a wheelchair user, i’m not finished but now i know its really admirable.
I so agree.

who is
@@turnip8150 Charley is who they are talking about
As someone who suffers from a chronic illness and has thought about using mobility aids before, this doll was absolutely amazing to see!! It helps to normalize people using mobility aids but still being able to stand and walk on their own! Thank you so much for this doll, she is beautiful and my new favorite❤️❤️
Yes! Not everyone who uses mobility aids use them all the time. I have a friend who was accused of child abuse because someone at their complex noticed that her daughter uses a wheelchair, a walker, and sometimes walking canes. They thought she was either injuring her repeatedly or forcing her to use them. We were all appalled that someone would believe that, but also not understand that some people my need mobility aids sometimes but not all the time.
Anyways, I hope you take the leap and consider your needs above other's misconceptions. If your life would be better and enriched by having an aid, then you have nothing to loose and so much to gain! I consider it no different than choosing any other form of self care. We need what we need. Ya know?
Wishing you the best.
@bearybear711 I made the decision to start using an aid after a really draining convention 2019... I only use it part time mainly when I'm by myself or in really bad flares and I honestly thought it would be a much bigger transition into my life than it was. I did get some response with work but if you communicate well with your HR they will help you if that is one of your reasons for not (would bring walker to work but than needed it stored during my shift as wouldn't be safe to leave out with the kids running around)...also I'm only 28
As a person with a disability, I 100% agree, it’s so amazing to finally have some representation! Thanks so much Dollightful.❤️❤️❤️
Aw it’s sad that you may not be able to walk properly but you all must have some special ability that you have or have not found yet. My mother always says that disabled people always have some special talents others don’t
I still have to use a cane from time to time after my hip surgery, and I often get a lot of dirty looks because I’m so young. I can walk fine 99% of the time, but overdoing it exhausts the muscles they had to cut through for surgery, and sometimes they spasm. Definitely normalize mobility aids for people that appear “normal”!
can we please just appreciate the fact that she's a part time wheelchair user, rather then full time! as this shows that not all wheelchair users are dependant on their chairs, which as a part time wheelchair users, I have struggled with this stereotype since I was little. So this is fabulous representation!
YESS, I have a friend in my Girl Scout troop who uses one, and she was so nice to explain how it worked to me and I’ve never seen anyone mention it in any media I’m sorry I’m just so fucking happy❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not apart of the disabled community, but I was honestly surprised when I saw the wheelchair. She didn't put it in the title or the thumbnail like "Disabled doll!" or anything like that. She doesn't say like "omg guys i'm so inclusive with all my dolls, let me tell you" she just...did it. And honestly I think it's a nice breath of fresh air.
Not only did it come out of seemingly nowhere (that key chain makes sense now, huh?) but she doesn't expand on why she made it or what inspired it. It's just
"This is my newest lolita, she has a super cute dress that I spent hours on and look at this tiny backpack! Also she's a part-time wheelchair user, I've got a tutorial and pattern for the wheelchair too if you're interested. ANYWAY, look how cute her hair and dress are! I love pastels and lolita fashion!!!!! AUNYUNG!!!! ^U^"

I love the fact that Katherine has worked with various power tools, constructed functioning homemade circuits, sewn meticulously detailed outfits, mastered clay sculpting, dismembered and reconstructed entire dolls, managed multiple social media accounts AND collaborated with numerous big creators and industry professionals, but is still afraid of doing jacket linings 😭💟
^.^ I think it might be lingering hesitation from Leafeon's kimono, but you have a point that it's a bit endearing.

This meant so much to me as a disabled person. I had to use a chair for the first time at work today and it was hard. But then I come home and see this!!!! My heart
This made me remember the time my sister broke one of her doll's leg. The leg was torn apart in a way that I could't fix it without compleatly gluing it (maybe I could if it would happen now but I was 10 years old at the time). She was really upset about it so I made a wheelchair using cardbox and bottle caps. The wheels weren't moving and it looked like garbage but I was really proud of it and my sister loved it!

Oh my god she even gave her fingerless gloves like some wheelchair users wear!!! I’m dyinggg I love this gal so much
I was wondering why does she need the gloves, is it to make sure her hands don’t get hurt or dirty when she’s moving her chair by herself
@@Um_236 Yep! Especially when stopping, starting, and turning. Your hands can get super calloused and blistered doing that all the time if you’re not careful, it can even cause joint issues. Extra protection from cold and rain helps too
@@SequoiaSleeps thx

Eeee!! The wheelchair really caught me by surprise, disabled people never get recognition 🥺💕 it's especially nice to see a wheelchair made just for her, as opposed to a plain black/blue chair
Yes! I’m so happy, she didn’t even rub it in your face. “Oh look at me I’m adding a wheelchair, this doll is going to be disabled” she just “hehe cute wheelchair”
I love that she didn’t make a big deal out of the mobility aid thing. She just made an adorable doll that also happens to have an adorable wheelchair

@@thejazzy6012 Yes! Exactly :)
@@thegayestgaythatevergayed5449 same I am also one of the gayest gays that ever gayed🌈
Katherine does such an amazing job normalizing so many different levels of diversity! And it’s not advertiser-friendly diversity either; it’s the real deal. Her dolls were some of the first non-binary, BIPOC, and body-type inclusive representation I’ve found in a TH-cam community that thrives off of character creation/design.
When addressing ethnicity, she does her research. When building different bodies, she makes sure they’re functional (and I know that’s a character design thing, but still). Katherine normalizes the unique differences that make us the individuals we are, and that’s so important to actually attaining equal rights (across all forms of oppression).
None of Katherine’s characters are treated as “other” within her own collection, and I want more people to think the way she does when it comes to inclusion.
And also I think a neurodivergent, ADHD/ADD, and/or EFD (executive functioning disorder) inclusive doll would be cool as heck and interesting to watch the design process thereof. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Cordially,
African American Genderqueer individual with EFD, generalized anxiety disorder, chronic pain disorder and many more life-long challenges that I have yet to identify
@@brinnc-o9065 im glad we agree, ive always felt impressed by how low key and sensitively Katherine introduces diversity, always just seems like the next and most obvious choice, no effort. But im not a very diverse person so i dont have an inherent sense of how it feels to the included audience.
I was thinking, how do you show neurodivergence though?! But then remembered my good friend has dark green dyslexia reading glasses... 🤔
I am genuinely obsessed with the way this video was cut together... most people would’ve gone out of their way to advertise this doll has a disability through the whole video, but she literally treated it as another accessory. This is how disability should be treated; it’s not an advertising point, it’s just part of who we are. Thank you Darling 💖

I love that you show her standing but also sitting in her wheelchair. Not every wheelchair user is confined to their chair because of paralysis or because of another disorder that renders their legs useless.
I have an invisible illness that causes me a lot of pain and can limit what I do. Say for instance I wanted to go to the state fair or zoo, I'd need to use a wheelchair because I can't walk for very long without hurting myself. Yet I don't need to use one in day to day life if that makes sense.
Edit: wow.. I didn't expect this to blow up. I'm glad I could reach so many people and educate them.
I can relate I’m living with a similar situation
I never knew that, thank you for informing me! ❤️
@@pearlmoon3057 yeah of course 😊 in my experience I feel like the vast majority of people don't know that unless they have friends or are related to a person that uses a wheelchair like I do.
Yes!! My Nana uses a wheelchair when she has to go out, but she doesnt use it at home bc she can walk around. Shes just slow moving bc of her ms. I was at a store with her once and she stood up from her wheelchair to get something and a woman glared at her over it. People dont realize that sometimes folks in wheelchairs can still stand.
@@Soupcowboy I know 😑 it's disappointing. I get glared at all the time if I stand up from my chair to use the restroom. Its usually older folks who glare and talk trash. Go figure.
I don't like bringing it in there because it's a public restroom and you get people from all walks of life with all different kinds of diseases and stds.
I just don't want to spread potential germs/diseases since I don't own my on chair and I usually borrow the chair from the place I'm at. I don't want to risk spreading those germs to someone who's imunocomprimised or has an auto immune disorder.
i love seeing the diversity in your dolls, and having Charley with her own matching wheelchair is such a perfect addition!!

You wanna know what I'd love to see Katherine attempt some day? A punk doll- or at least, pastel punk. I just know that she'll put her own spin on it that makes it so "Dollightful" yet still respectful to the genre. Anyone else agree?
It would be cool to see her make one like she did her nature doll (using alot of found materials like twigs and recycling scraps) since punk is a very DIY fashion
omg, that would be awesome
Ty Tanium isn’t punk?
We need more bubblegum goth in this world
I'd love to see her try a cyberpunk themed doll with cool LED lights, like what she did for Ember's eyes!
This is just a suggestion-
Have you ever thought of making an Albino character? Albinos are people who are born with extremely light skin and even lighter hair, and dark eyes, sometimes red.
ooo that would be awesome! more representation!! :D
And maybe a doll with vitiligo!!! I'd love to see both ❤️
Actually, I don’t think people with albinism have dark/red eyes, because they lack skin, hair, and other pigmentation, i think their irises are like clear I think, and the light can make it look red/purple
@@benedictdwyer2608 well the iris is a muscle, and without pigmentation muscles are generally red soo... it also is red in non human albino animals

im so happy you decided to give her a mobility aid! my names charlee (similar :D ) and i have an invisible disorder which can make my joints super achey after a short amount of movement and makes breaks/ sprains hurt for longer, so much so that i use crutches to move around sometimes. however im lucky enough to not have to use them all the time and its amazing to see this represented in a doll :)
I have a similar disorder!! I had to use crutches for most of middle school, and then I got a wheelchair because the crutches made the joints in my arms hurt worse. This video made me so happy, and seeing comments like these make me feel less alone, it's really wonderful to see!!❤️❤️❤️
This whole video is “I accidentally tore a hole here but that’s okay we can work with that”

edit: i absolutely adore the attention to detail in the wheelchair and how she made it based on actual custom wheelchairs and not just hospital chairs.

@@marieramos638 I mean, it is a funko keychain so it kinda is chibi.
Me this whole video: I wanna see her make a doll that uses a wheelchair
The end:
My little disabled heart: SO FRIGGIN HAPPY
yep 💕💕 made me so happy
Awww 💗
BIG SAME especially with the lolita fashion!! Ive had people tell me i couldn't really be disabled because i wear cute hyper feminine fashion (like lolita, im just too poor for lolita specifically lol)
Lmao srry forgot my point, which is that with that negative it just makes seeing this make me like a million times happier cause it's like someone bein like "its okay you're a valid bean"
Same! It’s so cool! I wish my wheelchair was that awesome
The "babe with a mobility aid" on her bag omg 😭😭😭 as a disabled person thank you so much
I'm having big feelings right now over how much I love this doll, the inclusivity, how skilled you are, and how much time and dedication it must have taken to build all those skills, and I just. Gosh, I love your channel so much.
You're very competent at what you and I admire you a ton
My only thought whenever you use that glitter is: “Don’t sneeze when using the glitter”
I learned that lesson the hard way...
Oh you poor thing.
Oh no- can I assume there's still glitter residue somewhere?
Quit fucking using glitter. It's TERRIBLE for the environment. You guys like tiny particles of shiny plastic seeping into your pores, huh? Don't have enough micro particles of plastic built up in your blood stream, and bodily tissue already?
@@NukelearFallout It's not body glitter chill
I'd like to think, when Katherine customizes a doll, the other dolls discuss with each other what the new doll will become. And they welcome the newly customized doll into their little community. ❤
that is the best thing ever
thats adorable
I've always thought about it that way too!
Thats such a cute concept holy smokes
So like toy story. Tho she'd be alot like Sid with the dismemberment...
Ok I need to adress this: you👏are👏my👏comfort👏youtuber👏
"I rummaged around in my stock box, and found this" *THUNK*
TH-cam: so how many Lolita dolls r u gonna make?
Catherine: Y E S
Me: makes comment
Comment: gets hearted
Me: wut
A million
Why do people keep on saying numbers
100
I’m curious to know if the lil keychain that says “babe with mobility aid” is from Annika Victoria? If so that’s really adorable!!! I’m really excited to see how the wheelchair will be made!
That is where I heard it from! Did Annika start that hashtag herself? I was looking over people who used it on instagram to find some awesome ladies with mobility aids for inspiration. Shucks, if I had know she invented the hashtag I would have credited her! I'm a big fan.
@@Dollightful Yes Annika is the one who started the hashtag, really inspiring!
@@Dollightful you can still tag her on IG pics!
@@Dollightful I'm really sorry the Wendigo doll video and the doll itself had to get taken down Katherine, but don't give up maybe you can turn her into something else like a vampire, yokai, ghost, grim reaper, pokemon, Witch doctor, day of the dead, Druid, or an undead dragon. I've believe Wendy the Wendigo deserves a much better form than to just be thrown away.
I am truly sorry Katherine, I have been going through loads of stress and bad times too. But I believe in hope for a better tomorrow, I've seen your work & I know your doing better than ever. Don't beat yourself up Dollightful you work so hard to produce dolls for us and you never get a break, I hope you enjoyed this doll! I know your fans do! 💖✨🌱. :)
Dollightful I believe she did!! That’s where I first heard it and I think she has merch with that hashtag. I also think she would really love your doll!!! You should definitely tag her on instagram when ya post about Charley!
I still regularly watch this video as a wheelchair user bc LOOK AT HER!!!! She looks so alive and her chair is right and its *decorated*. It's just. So nice to see
Right after you made this I broke my leg, at least I have a doll I can relate too😅
Oh my god, I'm not even a wheelchair user but I'm really about to cry over this 💗 I have NEVER seen a doll with mobility aids, let alone a wheelchair user that isn't 100% bound to the chair 😭😭 You've always been the most amazing doll customizer to me for this stuff, thank you for making such wonderful inclusive works 💗💕
Same here. I use a wheelchair as a mobility aid but I can still walk. So many people are under the impression that those in chairs can’t walk at all and when they see you out of it they think you’re faking.
Same, you said it so much better than I ever could. There's this huge misconception that people who use wheelchairs cannot stand at all, and when they do stand that they must be faking their disability. It really gets under my skin when people say stuff about faking a disability when they don't even know what they're talking about.
I'm most likely going to end up using a wheelchair because of my joint condition. So it just really irks me when people think wheelchair users have to sit 100% of the time.
@@C.K.Productions exactly! People think I'm not blind just because I love video games, anime and animation (drawing too) yet I have less than 10% vision. I'm so happy she made a disabled doll :)
Joining you guys! Wheelchair user who can walk too and people get confused about it. Even once a lady faced a streetlamp because she saw me getting up from my wheelchair, lol right. And one man called me a fraud when he saw me getting up, thankfully after explanation he did understood. This doll made me so happy and that there is similar people here.
Hi! Disabled person here. I LOVE the wheelchair! When I saw the “#babewithmobilityaid” I immediately got super excited! I also liked how you included her standing because a lot of wheelchair users CAN walk and stand! Charley is super cute, I love her!
I spent most of my teen years as an ambulatory wheelchair user and let me tell you the joy at that little detail was immense. So many people think you can only use a wheelchair full time and accused me of faking. Charley is adorable and I love her
6:33 I audibly gasped. She's absolutely gorgeous
I love the “babe with mobility aid” tag on her backpack!
Eww shy is not your babe
@@mariasimas9123 wtf? are you blind lol
@@mariasimas9123 what??
I knew right from the reroot I was going to love her but oh my WORD. She is the sweetest. And I love love LOVE how you took the fingerless gloves from the original doll and made them wheelchair gloves. What a brilliantly simple idea that gave way to such an adorable fun design. And it was just no big thing, which I also love; no “oh look at this big surprise,” just gave her a cool keychain and a wheelchair because it’s whatever, that’s what she needed. You’re a delight. 💕💞💕
You could even say a dollight ovo
Yeah the hair is just amazing
I NEED to see a clown esc character! I think Kat’s love for bright rainbow colors would look great with this style!! 🍭🎪🎭🎉🍬
Heck yeah! Send in the clowns!
@@NecroticNightshade you called? /j
Those videos get me occupied for days they just inspire me
As an ambulatory wheelchair user, this doll made me smile the brightest smiles. Thank you!
WHEN I TELL YOU I ALMOST *CRIED* SEEING THE WHEELCHAIR. i have a lot of issues with walking and ive found myself having to use wheelchairs several times in my life. its really wonderful to see you making something like this! i absolutely adore her!!!
@@TheHoboJojo really?
I'm glad you're so happy with this, ignore the assholes trying to tear you down😁😁
Thanks for telling me how to sew up the head! I used to always use glue and it never worked out.
she uses so many things I hate and stuff that I am really sceptical about, but in the end Im blown away by how amazing and beautifull the doll looks!
Katherine! This is amazing! You deserve a self care doll and a good break! You work so hard to produce dolls for us and you never get a break, I hope you enjoyed this doll! I know your fans do! 💖✨🌱
Please do you really deserve it.
Our queen needs a break :^>
Wait- 11 minutes ago?! THIS WAS POSTED 8 MINUTES-
Yes she does need a break .v.
That's sweet of you to say. Thank you so much! :D
super cute lolita doll vid from dollightful, today is startin off amazin ~ 💕
I’m so excited you made this doll! I got into doll customizing recently and wanted to have some of my dolls disabled, but since there was almost no representation of OOAK disabled dolls I didn’t know where to start! Thanks you!
She is GORGEOUS and I love the diversity between your characters, it’s amazing how much work you put into these dolls. This makes me want to be a part of the doll customizing community. :)
