WARNING: THIS IS MY 1ST DOLLPOST EVER
the witch goes to the dollstore
theres a doll sitting on the floor next to the shelf full of perfect pretty dolls
the doll on the floor is fucking huge. its like 8 feet tall, 6 feet around.
the sculptor who made it mustve been sadistic or drunk or something.
the big doll lifts up its stupid huge head to look at the witch.
the big doll smiles and tears up a bit.
"hi" it lifts up a collossal hand and waves it.
its eyebrows raise a bit, hoping.
the witch waves back and smiles.
the big doll lowers its stupid huge head and collossal hand. it goes back to resting, mayb sobbing a bit.
the witch goes to the front desk. "how much is that........ really big doll?"
front desk goblin replies "oh, its four bronze. five bronze with tax."
the witch is surprised "its....cheap..... is it cracked?"
goblin replies again "no... not much could crack porcelain that thick. we DO keep it charmed tho. if we turn off the fae charms it gets violent."
ohh..... thats a shame.... thinks the witch.
the witch goes back to the shelf, walking a wide berth around the big doll.
suddenly the big doll speaks up "master told u about this one's....... fae charm right? srry...."
how strange, thinks the witch, its self aware?
the witch asks "why do u get violent?"
the big doll looks down..... "this one doesnt exactly..know.... this one always has..... this one is willing to stay charmed though. this one's srry. this one doesnt want to hurt anyone. this one's srry."
the witch thinks......... hmmmm......
the witch goes back to the goblin at the front desk.
the big doll watches the witch talk to the goblin. it cant hear what shes saying. it sees the witch leave the doll store. it tears up again. starts crying a little bit.
the big doll feels angry & sad.
the goblin walks over "cmon then, we're putting u in the backroom"
"why?????" the big doll sobs.
"that witch put a hold on you" the goblin grabs it by the collossal finger and pulls.
the big doll widens its eyes "what..?"
"she said shes comin back, pickin you up tomorrow. just needs to go to the fae market. cmon, up up up!"
the big doll gets up glacially from the floor. it's like an elephant.
"thank u master" the big doll is smiling. it's eyes are excited.
a day is not long to be in the backroom.

What is a doll?
Tell me, do you know what a doll really is? A happy little thing that is beholden to its specific purpose, a specific being - that's what they always say, right?
You do understand how they got to this point, right?
A doll is a doll before they ever end up in their shells of whatever it is they end up made out of.
They don't come into existence trained to seek out Purpose and Stillness - no that happens somewhere along the way.
A person becomes not a person.
They know witches before they even know what the concept is - witches in a different way than the ones we usually speak of - witches that need no magic to effect their ways.
Take, for example, the "gifted student".
That's a doll right there.
Their Purpose is success in education. Their Stillness is respite from the otherwise ire of their witches.
They aren't a person:
They're their achievements.
And, tell me, doesn't that sound just like a doll to you?
