Dollmaker not only cannot cook, it's a little unclear on how the culinary arts work in the first place.
Dollmaker giddily beckoned him to the table, where a single place was set with a frankly ridiculous amount of silverware to each side of the gold plate. Martyn awkwardly knelt down on the pillows and let his jacket be removed. The dolls poured him water, cheap wine, and cold tea all at once into three delicate glass flasks. "You must be hungry from your travels, my lord," cooed the foremost doll, who had blue ribbons pinned in her hair just behind her tufted ears. "You know, I could eat." With grand ceremony another doll brought forth a tray of elegantly arranged lukewarm takeout — falafel wraps, balls of meat on sticks, some vegetables thrown together in an array that could be created only by someone who'd never actually seen a salad in person.

This has been stuck in my head all day and I needed to exorcise it. Do the kids these days even know about MTV's Cribs

Also FINALLY finished these dragonscale crochet handwarmers in Hraesvaglr themed yarn. Time to go out and do heresy!

Pattern is found here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
crocheted handwarmers on hands, with a scale-like pattern on the backs the same handwarmers, flipped to show the palms do not have scales.

And then, inevitably: cat
the same photo as above, but the nose of an orange cat can be seen diving in from the top of the frame.

When you meet your boyfriend in your dungeon lair (nonsexual) to show off your cute choker (nonsexual) and then the cocktail dress (sexual) comes into play. #kitbashlore

Yesterday I went on a spree at the second hand crafts store, and today I am starting to work on dioramas for #kitbashlore photoshoots. This one's a little bit small, but I only had so many tiles, and it came out all right.
square stone tiles arranged in a wooden frame wooden frame and fake stonework panels lying on a table, letting their paint dry A wooden frame painted grey, with stone and glass tiles in the bottom, and the fake stonework glued to two sides. It is a diorama meant to look like a room with stone walls and floor.

We were going to do Mt. Rokkon runs with funny hats but then @owlboxes.bsky.social showed up dressed as the Nutcracker and we abruptly pivoted to be Mouse King, Drosselmeyer, and Sugarplum Fairy.

Apparently two DollMartyns in one day has thrown my man Lucky into a jealous rage and he's invading the doll shelf again to get attention.

An absolutely beautiful gifted work from @gogomi.bsky.social of Martyn's Enshrouded form with Dollmaker (from that one scene in Kitbash Souls). I'm going to lick it. #kitbashlore
A black and white art with blue accents. A humanoid figure is attached at the waist to a body with sprawling lizard-like legs, with his own legs hanging awkwardly out in front. There's a fanged mouth in the man's torso. He holds a rod with a curved beam from its tip that makes it appear scythe-like. An inset image on the right shows a close up of his face, which is hooded. The upper part of his face is covered by a mask. The lower part of the mask is cracked and shows the lower part of his face.

"No, I'm currently only doing that with Martyn---oh, fuck WITH, you say. Yes, yes, certainly."

I am also laughing a bit at doing 'ace but not straight' and 'ace but not anything' and not 'ace but straight'.

...........I mean I do see your point but Estimeric also has the single highest volume of fanfics for a non-wolship of any other in the fandom. It's nearly double the next highest (admittedly because we didn't get them until Endwalker). So it's true but it's still 'at least your ship gets fics' lol

I made a version of @peachuthe3rd.bsky.social to stand in my yard but I always make sure he's got a comfy place to sit and something to eat. and a book in case he's bored.

Dollmaker's variable in size but almost always taller than Martyn. Which is good because Martyn is into that. #kitbashlore

This is exactly why his Enshroud form is nicknamed Smalt. Because it sounds dumb as hell but is technically an on brand color.
smalt /smôlt/ noun A deep blue paint and ceramic pigment produced by pulverizing a glass made of silica, potash, and cobalt oxide. A deep blue pigment or coloring material used in various arts. It is a vitreous substance made of cobalt, potash, and calcined quartz fused, and reduced to a powder. A deep blue pigment made from powdered glass mixed with cobalt oxide.
