it's the day before my birthday, and my girlfriend surprised me with an outing to a local bird aviary/botanic gardens in the mountains!!!
this was an absolute delight for me, known bird enjoyer, and i got to have many cute and phenomenal birds perched on my head (which i loved and plushie magolor 'tolerated', on account of it being my birthday). i even got to see a nicobar pigeon, which i had never seen in person before!
they also surprised me with an early birthday present to use at the incredible mountain-top picnic spread my gf planned (😭😭) of this extraordinarily cute kirby themed liquid-glitter cup!!
and of course, in true starflung fashion i injured myself twice
once, not three minutes into the outing when my umbrella (which i only require because i'm allergic to both the sun and sunscreen) bit me, and my gf had to run to reception to get me a bandaid. later, when i just totally fkn stacked it on some loose gravel on a slope and i got the umbrella back by slamming it into the ground, along with my knees and one palm. but not the other palm, which was holding plushie magolor, who touched neither gravel nor dirt and never will while i still breathe!

So do you ever get given a doll and have an entire self discovery plotline? Because I did
So this is a Kanani, American girl, limited edition girl of the year from 2011. She's a mixed Hawaiian girl which is cute and I've always liked her but never wanted her as a kid especially because I HATED her collection for some reason
As an adult I grew away from American girls, I loved and appreciated the ones I had but they just didn't speak to me anymore and I never could figure out why so I moved on
Alright so then my mom was like "I'm getting a doll second hand for me and it comes with a Kanani I'll let you have her" last week.
Cue "wtf you got me a KANANI?!?" Crisis. I did not want her nor have any reason to have her,I'm not even supposed to be getting any dolls at the moment but, Something spoke to me about her, even if homegirl was a little rough around the edges
So she came home, I got my little racoon hands on her to restore and I was surprised how long her hair was and frankly how adorable she was. I started really bonding and falling in love with her, little by little she became mine
Her name is Frances now, Still Hawaiian and Japanese though. She likes pink and cute things, I decided to give her ringlets and she wants a smocked dress
Then, I realized. Dolls have become less about buying, and having the latest release and collections like it was when I was younger into AG's. They're not about predetermined personalities or whatever is trendy at the time.
They're literally an extention of myself now, and they're an outlet for creativity. Names I love, Styles of clothes I like and sew for them, Different aspects of my own personality or people I admire. Every. Single. One. My earlier AG's helped weave my personality and in turn I grew to not need their help anymore. A weird transition from childhood to adulthood realizing my own self from my doll collection
So yeah, Welcome to the family Francie, I hope you like it here and I especially hope you like me because sweetie we're going to be dressing very similar from now on 😊

in an alternate universe an eve in her midtwenties, still relatively new to mi5, is offered an once-in-a-lifetime chance to go to russia with mi6's head of the russia desk carolyn martens. for reasons unbeknownst to her, they go to an orphanage - a dreadful place, really, cold and dirty and neglected. where they meet a nine year old, blonde little girl, clearly troubled.
something about the girl, who's name she finds out is oksana, draws eve in. she doesn't know if it's the lost look in her eye or the profound sadness and loneliness she can see beneath the arrogant, rather aggressive facade. all she knows is oksana doesn't need the punishment the orphanage workers put her through for every misstep, she needs gentle guidance and support. she makes an effort to be kind to the girl and gain her trust, going as far as extending her stay in russia for longer than necessary, ignoring carolyn martens' raised eyebrow and her fiancé niko's complaints.
she finds she has a connection with the little girl, discovering her assumptions are correct; the reason for the trouble oksana causes regularly aren't the personality disorders which the psychologists diagnosed her with. it's a desperate cry for any sort of attention, may it be good or bad, after years of neglect and a load of childhood trauma making her lash out whenever faced with a trigger. she doesn't seem to have ever been taught to regulate her emotions, ever been shown what the safety & love of a home really feels like.
eve knows it's crazy. she's just about to get married, she's just starting to make a name for herself in her job. she can’t possibly take care of a child. she never really even thought about wanting children at all. but something about oksana is different. something about her wakes something in eve that she didn’t know existed.
it's not the easiest progress but she goes through the paperwork for the permission to foster the girl and take her back to the uk with her. she wants to give her the chance to grow up happy and healthy. oksana's so young, eve's still able to give her childhood memories that feel good and warm. she's able to let her grow up with a family who loves her. eve wants to be that family for her and she won't let anyone stop her.

CATIE !!!!! I'm gonna need boy king seb pestering nando for a pet lamb 🥺
Grace!!! Hi!!! This is how I imagine it'd go:
Fernando begrudgingly lets him keep it, but will not stop calling it the names of various lamb dishes, but then Seb finds him cuddling with it. And then it grows up and Seb commissions someone to make a nice wool coat for Fernando out of its wool 🤭
