#tumbling doll

[tanuki-kimono]

Most joyful antique haori patterned with colorful daruma (tumbling doll representing Bodhidharma).

Auspicious tokens, daruma have a blank eye meant to be painted when a person's wish is granted​. Here, all the dolls have both of their eyes drawn, meaning that they brought a lot of good luck around them ;)

(Those would be more than ready for the burning ceremony happening each year around New Year day!)

HAPPY TRANS AWARENESS WEEK!!! Here are some trans sonic hcs I have to celebrate.

My period just decided to appear right now and that would explain why my desire to kill everything and everyone around me, was affecting me more than usual.

Garak's the type of bitch that would go on a tirade the first time he sees Kukalaka, full-blast asking every question and balking at every answer and going off on a philosophical spiel about the implications of such a ferocious earth beast being a children's toy and what it implies about Julian's psyche that he has kept it all these years - and in such poor physical condition! - all while hugging Kukalaka to his chest. When Julian interrupts him to smugly point this out, Garak just scoffs and walks into another room, still hugging Kukalaka.

The next time Julian even sees the toy is weeks later and it's mysteriously acquired a full fashionable wardrobe, and when Garak is questioned about it, he just scoffs again and says if it's going to plague their quarters with its ghastly appearance it may as well be useful and model some of Garak's new designs. It's very practical, he's saving a lot of fabric by doing it this way, you see. And no, that is not a replica of Julian's favorite shirt. It might appear that way to an untrained eye like the doctor's, but it is entirely different, actually.

New creatures! Time for new creatures!

I'm finally on my off season, some years that means I make more, other years it means I make less, we'll see which it is this time

Tumblr Doll of Flesh

[circe88]

I always felt like,i was born fucked since the beginning,like i was set up for failure. Growin up in a dysfunctional atmosphere with a psychologically abusive fahter and a mother that has violent mood swings,minimizes your emotions and underestimates your pain. I alredy started life with a tremendous desire to shoot myself in the head.

what is the tumble town gothic au? i am interested 👀

aha! tumble town gothic is a wip that i have had since...august of last year. i've only written 4k of it and have completely and utterly been able to come up with a workable plot instead of just some loose ideas strung together. however, last week i sort of had some new ideas for it so it might be back in the running? as a workable plot?

calling it "tumble town gothic" (which might as well be the real title at this point lsdjfslkfj) is in reference to all those tumblr posts that would be like [location] gothic and have somewhat unsettling things listed. i once described this au to a friend in discord and was told it sounded a bit like nightvale. while writing it, i felt like it reminded me of the episode Midnight in doctor who (and fanfic i read once in another fandom.)

strange things happen in tumble town. there is a creature living there, who has lived there since the very mountains were raised up. tumble town knows it is real--other than that, only pixl knows of it and only within ancient myths, not real life. we never get a good description of what it is because that in itself would be revealing it, and my friend this is an entire fic about not revealing yourself. the creature keeps the town safe. most who enter the valleys and canyons of the mesa do not make it back. those who attempt to heist the town's bank do not make it back. tumble town never receives invaders, because those people do not make it back.

the mesa was here before you, and it will be after you. the creature was here before you, and it will be after you. respect is absolutely key in tumble town--the survival of the town is predicated on it. they respect the land, they respect the creature, they respect each other. respect is also a very real matter of life or death to jimmy, because the continued existence of tumble town depends on it. the creature does not intentionally protect tumble town--tumble town simply exists because it has crafted its entire way of life around keeping the Things in the desert pleased. if the town were to stop respecting the creature, they'd also be killed.

you should never show your true face--you won't be killed if it thinks you aren't human :)

A potential body swap scenario w Gale and Tumbleweed would be so funny because they'd both go Full Wizard Nerd Mode and try to figure out how this had happened and what it entails, but quickly overun by "Oh shit I'm literally the hottest guy in the world what do I do😳😳😳😳"
