AAHH I can finally post this in its entirety!! I originally made the 3D model intending for it to only be a reference to trace on top of, but I got lazy and just fleshed it out as the actual background. Anyway.

Welcome to my little pet project, and the subject of this blog, the Dollhouse DSM AU!! This blog is intended to be a companion to the text, mainly for art and such, with the actual story posted on AO3 hopefully very soon >:) In the meantime, the majority of the AU's content is tagged as either "#dollhouse dsm au" or "#a dsm for a dollhouse au" on this blog!

I don't want to say too much quite yet, but the general gist of the AU is: Lily is taken from Playtime Co, along with a few other patients, and follows a therapeutic treatment program in a facility deep in the woods. The story follows her recovery and her growth as a person, independent from Playtime Co. (Nothing that hasn't been done before, but I wanted to put my own spin on it!)

Please feel free to ask questions or discuss in the comments!! This is a first for me and I would love to know your opinions/ideas/theories on the AU :D (Also, individual frames from the GIF are under the cut as a little bonus :3)

OOOH excellent question. I know it's not really the point of it, but if I'm to start with general points of interest: more than the execs or the experiments or the wannabe cult leader status of the Prototype, the roles of the people surrounding the factory have been so interesting to me. For example, Rich Lovitz (who clearly has morals that diverge from Playtime's core principles and purpose from what we've seen from him) or The Warden, who we admittedly don't know much about but I've always been fascinated with him as a character; what leads you to want to work at the Shelf? The contractors that were responsible for building most of the factory are also super interesting to me for that reason; we know it was for the money but if they knew, would they have blown the whistle?

As for myself, I'm not sure what role I'd step into; maybe one of the scientists behind the glass at Playtime? Not a position with too much power, nor one where I would have to get my hands dirty at the behest of a higher-up so to speak, but one where I'm able to observe and absorb and learn, because I've always been one to observe and learn more than anything, and who knows, I might let my morals get the better of me and blow the whistle anyway once my financial prospects are secured, just to watch shit go down.

A concept for a cover!! My biggest dream is to have my fic bound into a book once it's done, and I'd like to think it'd look like this :D

(Me, I'm the people XD)

If the people want to know, then the people shall receive! I love all of them, but the sleepover and job ones are especially cute :D

WHATS UR FAV COLOR.. AND DO U HAVE ANY OTHER INTERESTS YOUD LIKE TO SHAREEE

HELLOO :D I've always been a purple enjoyer, ever since a wee lad >:3 Other than that it’s hard to pick a favorite. Colors good :D

You've been able to ask Lily questions, and you've been able to ask Rose and the rest of her staff, but there's one person who you haven't heard much from yet and that's me! Feel free to ask anything about myself, the blog, the AU, anything at all :D I can't guarantee I'll answer every question but I will do my best.
