1999 Blown Glass American Girl Ornaments

I've only just discovered that in 1999 American Girl released blown glass ornaments of the original characters, and they are low-key terrifying:

Just straight up goofy looking.

I’ve seen people draw fanart of Monster High and Winx Club, and aside from the Mane6 from My Little Pony, I didn’t think I had a fictional girl group that I liked as a kid, until I remembered the OGs 😤 American Girl books. These put hair on my chest as a kid, I’d just be reading an inspiring story about an immigrant when BAM! her best friend dies of Cholera. And her parents tell her to stop crying about it and then the books never mention the dead friend again. Good reading material for a sprightly nine-year-old with anxiety issues.

Finally finished Kirsten Larson's extra outfits! Her collection is small and AG hasn't brought her back in years but her stuff is so solid. A lot of cute looks for her

I love absurdly long and unhinged video essays like yes please tell me a nearly 6 hour long history of Kirsten the American Girl Doll whilst I crochet

[darkandstormydolls]

I love how wildly dark some kids media is

Especially my dearly beloved American Girl Dolls, some of whom have trauma worthy of the most pathetic Little Guy™️ character

Like, this character had to leave behind everything she ever knew or loved, knowing fully well that she could never go back, never would see the family she’s leaving behind ever again. So she embarks on her journey, finding comfort in a friend who shares her grief at leaving their old life behind, but also the same hope for the future. But that friend dies just before reaching their new life, leaving her alone once again in a strange land.

She has to leave the last remnants of her homeland behind. And she still has hope, but so many of the promises of this new land are just not there. And they go back to try and retrieve those keepsakes, months later, and she has to be the one to lead them through the snowstorm, relying on half-remembered directions in the hope of not freezing in the snow before then can get home

She tries to do something kind, help out a little innocent creature. And it goes horribly wrong, ending up destroying the home that they only just are managing to carve out in this new land.

She gets lost in the woods, in the middle of winter, and she and her brother think they’re safe when they find shelter. But not only shelter, they also find the corpse of a neighbor, the first people to learn that he died. So they wait out the storm alongside this old body, one they can’t even properly bury because the ground is frozen, while her brother tries to comfort her with the thought that he was a good soul, so while he may be dead, his ghost is a kind one. And then, in order to try and fix the mistake that destroyed their home, they rob the dead man.

This is the character:
