Duel of the Madame Alexander Dolls: Brands and Collabs (Round 1)

[qcoded]

Dumbass au idea but. In some other universe, Belos actually ends up going to the human realm with a now released Collector right? Luz and the gang are obviously concerned because this lunatic of a man and a ridiculously powerful child god are now a very huge danger

So for whatever reasons, Hexsquad manages to get to the human realm, and its just them trying to find the two.

And the twist is that they're in fucking Miami or something, literally just taking a damn vacation. It sounds really ridiculous but It's funny to imagine Belos and Collector at the beach, totally inoffensive while everyone else is frenzied 💀

Thought I might draw something to this epic song, used to relate more to it but now I think I'm getting better. It was fun to draw my favorite characters to the text though :3

The translation might be wrong since I did it myself.

I don't like how they made Asa white in the second movie. Like I get if the original actor didn't want to come back that's completely fine, but why not just get another Hispanic actor? It's such a weird thing to change in my opinion. Idk.

60! nice number :>

60. Blood Bank – Bon Ivor

they say, staring down at their slippered feet, “why do you even want me here?”

luz jolts. the gold-bright lines of her all mix and meld, spread out in wild patterns the collector’s never really seen anybody else have, ‘cept maybe back way forever ago when there were a bunch of trees and a bunch of witches and all of them together sort of were like this huge spiderweb. luz alone is a spiderweb. the golden lines of her that go to mari to hunter to flapjack-there-too and how it’s so blinding they can’t really look at her head-on.

“why would you say that?” luz asks.

her gold pulses when she says it. king claims it means something, that he sees gold but gold-like-thoughts, like so many words. the collector looks and still doesn’t know the language.

“cause i hurt a ton of people.” the collector fists their hands in their lap. “cause i know i’m only here ‘cause firefly wanted it. ��n the rest of you don’t care so much.”

“i care,” luz says, quietly. the collector turns away from her. out the big window in eda’s room they can see outside where king and mari are chasing each other, mari a maned wolf, and hunter flapping after as a cardinal, all their gold mixing together like finger-painting thrown across a canvas ‘cause someone thought yeah let’s do it without anymore thoughts. “i think—i think you’ve been alone too long. and i want you here.”

they say, “oh.”

luz nudges them “wanna join the others?”

they shrug, hug their arms around themself. “dunno.”

luz offers a smile. “that’s okay. we can sit here until you feel better.”

and they don’t. but it’s sort of nice, to have someone in their corner.

DISCUSSION

you found another collector piece!!! oh my god i love this kid so MUCH.

i said a lot about the collector back with uhhh whichever number the other collector one was lol but this gives more on their dust-seeing ability! it also gives a little hint to how witches and palismen work! the two fun facts about witch-palismen pairs i'll give is that they form symbiotic relationships with palistrom trees, and that they are to demons what termites are to cockroaches.

the collector also mentions how king can read dust--the big difference between titans and collectors is that titans can read/understand dust, but not manipulate it, while collectors can manipulate dust, but not read/understand it. so :) fun!

but yeah. luz n the collector would be friends i think....they can understand each other! out of all the owl house kids luz n the collector get along best without any weird baggage. mari's not like. patient enough to sit with them lol and tends to gravitate to hunter who just feels very uneasy about them. and flapjack would chill w luz but is dead and shares a body w hunter so </3 luz is left on her own a lot.

anyways. my most favorite starchild who i love SO much

Owl house has been over for a few weeks and I just want to say I was always correct and cool for being the number 1 Collector apologist

Staffordshire Ironware in the pattern Blue Wheat and crystal in the pattern Seneca Loop

The Staffordshire is actually stoneware! While meant to resemble china, it's much sturdier and has slightly thicker molded details than porcelain. (though let's be real the semantics of what is and isn't considered china has been argued about since it started being called china in the first place, stoneware and other ceramics count in my opinion)

The crystal is also interesting, it would be considered EAPG or Early American Pattern Glass - countless crystal producers in America used the same patterns, and without any backstamps it's difficult to tell what piece came from what company. These were also all pressed glass, a much quicker process that allowed for quick reproduction of the same pattern across a variety of items, so it can be very difficult to tell sometimes who did what!

A dining-room cupboard is an ideal place to store and display treasured dinnerware safely. This collection of antique china and pressed glass is arranged for balance and convenience, with the least used pieces on the top shelf.
