WELL-

Doll is my favourite charachter in md for SO many reasons. Her motivations and personality are so good for the story and, in ways, contrast uzi. Doll is an outcast, like uzi, but is quieter about it and therefore, "fits in better". She is very quick to feel sorry for uzi in episode 3 once Doll learns uzi has the solver too. She offers help, but her role in the show steps back after ep3. Her motive is to first, kill V. Then find the patch. "Cure herself and then move on" is what I got from her demeanor after a rewatch today.

And then episode 7 happens

The end of episode 6 makes it seem like doll checked off the part of her list she failed in ep3. Kill V. So as I was watching ep6 was thinking that ep 7 was set-up (after the flashback to nori and yeva) to chase doll to the patch and beat her there.possibly fight her as being responsible for the events that led upto V's sacrifice.

But instead we get thrown right into the deep end of the solver.

I'm not complaining! I absolutely love how the solver was introduced. The way that it's been here the entire time but slowly creeping up and getting louder. Episode 7 was the beginning of the end and the solver is a key part in that aspect of the story, and just the story in general, but DAMMIT DOLL WAS SET UP THE BE THE ANTAGONIST FOR EP7.

I personally believe (and my friends have heard it 14 gazillion times) that doll's charachter arc was not completed. She was killed off purely as an unnecessary warning for uzi and to tease cynessa for the second time (cynessa was already shown in ep4). She should've been the main villain for episode seven AT LEAST. Doll shouldnt have died there, or died so easily. Her goal was the patch. She didn't even SEE IT. As much as md was fast paced, doll's arc felt like it was sped up for the pacing of the show.

In ep3 it was set up that's she would be a major antagonist, not THE MAIN one but still one of them. Ep6&7 kinda just made her redundant imo.

I dont wanna say I could write a better murder drones, I couldn't. But I will defend the fact that the blorbo didn't need to die to be an unnecessary warning to a charchter who knew she was already in for some crazy shit.

Amd yk I wanted to post it, cuz I think just having sm place to build and add loreee is just great and fun an-

I started in December with a small swamp terraformation (my first terraforming project) and I then built a lighthouse with pale wood (which was just added at the time) and tried glass lighting, which was inspired by scar.

And then I built rock valley, the modern village which can barely be called modern. I was inspired by mumbos s10 build for the lore of a modern day regular town,except I started the modern thing after I built the first house (the little red one, it's an artists house and I love it smm) and the castle(which is why the cell building-thing is put in the wall)

Then I built this market,and terraformed this hill BY HAND.im on bedrock and I don't have a world edit add on so all the terraforming I do by hand.it acc was really relaxing to put on my playlist and just turn my brain off, and I struggle to relax

And the market was smthn I had wanted to do since the start. I love little villages with markets and LIFE.maybe that's why I loved mumbos s10 build and took so much inspo from it.adding life to things just makes it feel so good!

And then, my current project, my mushroom village. I'm a sucker for fairies and little mushrooms and,yk, I need to get better at organics... soo MUSHROOMS!!
