#doll's house

[mysunfreckle]

I've finally put together my entire dollhouse naturalist's study!

It's the first ever display I actually glued some things in place for (terrifying)

My mother made this room for me when I was little, I just redid the carpeted floor to turn it into this study. The display case and the cupboards were flea market finds, the desk and chair I bought for this room especially. Most of the tiny stones and shells I found myself, but almost all of the fossils come from my dad's collection <3

getting fucked up about the place Edwin was in being called the Doll's House

which is a reference to the volume 2 title of the Sandman graphic novels, which had a yellow-green color scheme baby doll abstract art concept in the margins of the beginning and end notes that matches the set in the show, as George said in an interview was an easter egg

but that volume wasn't about a plane of Hell or anything like that

but it WAS about the recurring theme of trying to "play house"

Unity Kinkaid trying to meet her family and form a home, but then she sacrifices herself and doesn't get to spend time with them

Hector and Lyta trying to build a home and have a baby in the Dreaming, but he's a ghost that's meant to move on so they're separated and don't get to have that home and family together

not sure if I have all that right. Sandman stuff is honestly too above my head personally but Dead Boy Detectives?

what do you mean the found family or possible soulmate situation between Edwin & Charles is culminating to a climax in the Doll's House?

The little girl inside me is screaming.😍

@rom-e-o Makes me think of Starry's castle.

Colleen Moore’s fairy tale castle dolls’ house. Moore was one of the most successful silent film stars (famous for popularising the ‘Dutch boy’ bob), and she started creating this dolls’ house in 1928. She enlisted the help of professional planners and architects, such as Horace Jackson, the set designer at First National Studios. The entire house can be broken down into individual pieces and packed into specially designed shipping crates, and from 1935 to 1939 Moore took the dolls’ house on tour through the U.S. to help raise money for children’s charities, which proved hugely successful. Moore gave the dolls’ house to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago in 1949.

The Doll’s House

You were born into the neighbourhood of Suburbia. It’s a pleasant community, but there is one house you always wanted to visit. The house is open for everyone, all you have to do is to cross the right box in the survey that is offered to you at the entrance.

The house is magical, or so you have heard. In this house all your dreams can come true, they tell you, so you shiver with excitement as you finally step over the threshold.

You see the space unwind as you take your first steps inside.

Beautiful hardwood floor forms under your steps, the shade of rosewood and freshly poured cocoa.

You smell the air. Somewhere in the house, there is an apple pie baking.

You step into the living room. The furniture looks just like the ones in a film that you saw as a child,

creating a vision of comfort, stability.

Memories of rainy evenings spent in front of a television, a dinner tray, laughter echoing from the speakers.

The walls are pastel green, with tiny flowers painted on the wallpaper.

You feel like a rosebud growing in an old man’s garden.

The curtains are the colour blue. You like the colour blue, it’s soothing.

Still it’s not the same as the sky on a clear summer day.

You find a bowl of colourful candy on the TV table. You take a handful and put them in your pocket. You might like a snack later and there is no one to tell you no.

On the wall there is a painting of a setting sun. The red hue mixes with deep blue of the space above, the stars are coming out, creating a distant white glow over the horizon. There is a little house on a field under the maddening sky. It looks familiar, but the cracked paint and the walls on a brink of collapse don’t fit with your distant memory.

You walk back into the hallway.

Under the large stairs there is a small door, but you find it locked. You are almost sure the key could be found from the house’s many cupboards, but you get a slight feeling that you might not want to discover what else is hidden inside those drawers.

On a corner table near the door you see a statue of an eagle.

In its steel claws the bird holds a squirming snake. You pity the poor creature, it looks so very small compared to the bird of prey.

You take the first careful steps up the stairs. The wood feels sturdy under your feet, but you hear a strange clicking sound on every step. It mixes up with ticking of a clock upstairs, owl shaped, eyes moving with the movements of the pendulum.

The upstairs is dimly lit, shadows are forming in the corners. There is a hallway and doors on both sides of carpeted floor. You try the handles, but the doors are locked. The soft carped muffles the sound of your wary steps as you walk ahead.

There is one more door in the end of the hallway. You are surprised to find the door unlocked, it makes a squeaking sound when you push it open.  

You step into a room. In the opposite wall there is a full-size mirror, freshly polished. In the mirror you see a porcelain face with a painted-on smile, clothes made out of napkins and cupcake liners. Your pocket made of paper rips open and the colourful candy patter on the floor like rocks, that they are.

You are a plaything in a doll’s house, you realize, as you hear the lock click shut behind you.

A room called ‘The Doll Room’ that’s full of dolls is… mundane.

But a room called ‘The Doll Room’ that only has one doll in it? That’s fresh

“horror movies were reborn in the 1930s. sound revolutionized cinema across the board and had a huge impact on the horror genre— and not just in the form of dialogue. sound effects added an extra dimension to terror, from creaking doors to echoing footsteps to the rumbling of castle thunder. music cues built suspense or signaled the presence of a threat. as screen storytelling moved away from symbolism towards realism, the dreamlike wraiths of silent cinema were replaced by monsters that grunted, groaned and howled.”

The dolls' house in the drawing room came from Newbridge, Donabate; it was probably made by the estate carpenter there in the eighteenth century. Inside there are three great empty rooms and, above child height, utilitarian shelves. Desmond Guinness has commissioned miniature copies of Irish furniture to furnish it once more.

Photo of Minami and her sisters. You never see her family outside of photos so these add just a little more life to her.

Someone asked for Roxy drinking a rum and coke, and being disgusted, but then I started playing dolls with it. Maybe that’s where they were sleeping. All this time. Who knows really.
