Welp, Time To Actually Learn Dutch And Return To The Motherland.

This is Kyle. He was from a wealthy suburban family until he decided to cut ties from his family's money and become independent. At 26, he still has much to learn about how the world really is.

He's just borrowing that torso for the picture. n_n

You were a laundress in a castle owned by a prominent but reclusive duke. There were other laundresses, but you were the duke’s personal one, largely because of the bloodstains on his clothes and bedding. You asked no questions and passed no judgment. He’d never spoken to you directly, but he did send you small gifts and treasures, for your… discretion.

Early one evening, he decides to thank you in person.

What y’all think ‘gifted child’ discourse is saying: I used to be special and now I’m not and that makes me sad.

What ‘gifted child’ discourse is ACTUALLY saying: The way many educational systems treat children who’ve been identified as ‘gifted’ is actively harmful in that it a. obliges kids to give up socialising with their same-age peers in favour of constantly courting the approval of adult ‘mentors’ who mostly don’t give a shit about them, b. demands that they tie their entire identity to a set of standards that’s not merely unsustainable, but intentionally so, because its unstated purpose is to weed out the ‘unworthy’ rather than to provide useful goals for self-improvement, and c. denies them opportunities to learn useful life skills in favour of training them up in an excruciatingly narrow academic skill-set that’s basically useless outside of an institutional career path that the vast majority of them will never be allowed to pursue.

I my shadow high Nicole came in the mail today, so I decided to do some monster high color comparisons.

Gray Frankie is the closest match, though is slightly lighter than the body irl (the head is an exact match for Ash, though). Goulia is close, but is also too light and a warmer tint.*

* I realized later that the Goulia head I picked had yellowed. I compaired against another I had in storage and she was an exact match for gray Frankie.

Lagoona is too pale and might work better on Ash or Heather. I don't have a not-yellowed rochelle, but her wing looked too light when compared.

Just because I have some gray boys on hand, Cam Gargoyle boy and Invisi Billy are too light. Neightan Rot is too dark. I unfortunately don't have a Slo Mo to compare.

Also the wrist/lower arm is slightly lighter than the hand and body, but I think the light angle made it look paler than irl.

My first furby that I thrifted with his box. Finding him kinda distracted me from all other doll projects for the past week lol.

His name is Bi-lighting or Bilite for short. Might make him a little vest. If I find any more furbs I will get wilder with the customs but I wanted one "normal" one.

Can't unsee those gummy worm horns. Truely, they make this doll. n_n
