Martyn (nendoroid) and Dollmaker (crochet critter) inspecting an unusually shaped black dildo sitting on a table. It is, for a 1/12th scale doll, unsuitably large.
"Oh dear. It seemed smaller in the catalogue listing. Do you think if I rearranged some of your--"
"It is the size of my gods-damned torso. I'm an ambitious man but I am NOT that ambitious. No." #kitbashlore
(Explaination below for how we got here.)
dolls with tiny objects
zoom in to see the potion bottle pouring itself
I'm back from the international minatures convention with the promised teapot and a few other exciting items - the cauldron and potion bottles are by a fellow FFXIV player who recognized my Namazu ita bag! (Convention pictures to follow, I have Many.) #kitbashlore
Martyn (a nendoroid doll) in a navy blue yukata, smiling and winking. He's surrounded by bake shop and fake pastry props, with a poster on the wall for lemonade.
Same as before but a pale face is peeking in the window.
Surprise, the pale face is Dollmaker (crochet critter) peeking in the dollhouse window.
Today Martyn is picking up shifts at the Kugane tea house, because tomorrow he's going to the miniatures convention and he needs the money.
I think one of his customers is getting a little too invested, though. #kitbashlore
"Look, I'll put up with the dress-up games but I'm drawing the line at a collar. Especially when I've only just woken up.
...come back during business hours and we'll talk about it." #kitbashlore
A nendoroid wearing a maid outfit, cat ears, cat paw gloves, and a false tail.
The same nendoroid in a navy blue kimono jacket with a striped....the thing that goes under the jacket. I don't know what it's called. Nagagi?
Speaking of, I traded the Miku to a friend and now Martyn has two new outfits! The obligatory maid costume WITH additional catgirl attributes, and also a kimono with a navy blue jacket. (There's an obi but it was too small so i gotta make a new one.) #kitbashlore
The Source. The Source, to a voidsent, is paradise. Beautiful warm light, endless food, beautiful things, art and literature and lace and silk. Dollmaker has had 200 years in Heaven and has never been ungrateful for it for a second. #kitbashlore
(gesturing at everything under the #kitbashlore tag) well i wouldn't exactly call Dollmaker 'attractive', it's a big long void noodle.
Those little rolling toys from Garlemald, right? Dollmaker thinks they're all right, but not as much fun as a proper doll. #kitbashlore
Martyn (nendoroid doll) sitting in a chair with a book, while Dollmaker (crochet thing) is holding one painted wooden egg and looking at a second on the floor.
Martyn (from Limsa) is trying to explain Hatchingtide to Dollmaker (came to Ul'dah from the Void about 190 years before the holiday began), and everyone is a bit confused.
But there are pretty eggs to decorate, so Dollmaker is still content. #kitbashlore
The "smolhouse". Someone was selling a dollhouse-shaped shelf half a mile from me and even if it's a bit tiny for Martyn's scale it contains the spare furniture and keeps Lucky (on right) from knocking it over when he's mad at me.
Dollmaker is on the roof doing a Mary Poppins, I think. #kitbashlore
cross stitch showing dollmaker and Martyn on a little pillow (a biscornu)
black and white art of hands groping and dressing a man in pince-nez glasses as a spectral white face hovers behind him.
Apparently it's DollMartyn week and no one told me. I also recieved yesterday this gorgeous cross stitch biscornu and tiny art from @azurevoltage.bsky.social!! #kitbashlore
AND LOOK WHAT CAME WITH IT!! TINY DOLLMAKER AND MARTYN ART!! @byssky.bsky.social YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!! #kitbashlore
An open box containing a Martyn Goodfellow nendoroid doll, along with chairs, rug, a fake window, and tiny food on a table.
The same set now closed up into a briefcase, with Dollmaker and Martyn alongside it.
I'm working on a portable 'photo booth' set to take to the doll meetup at @gatewayfate.bsky.social, so all our little guys can get photos together. #kitbashlore
(Model made by @agitoolacrimes.bsky.social as a Hannukah gift for #kitbashlore )
A /dote from Martyn to Dollmaker. I could have made this more polished but I didn't want to. #kitbashlore
#kitbashlore retroactively to above thread lol
martyn, a nendoroid, with pants that are too big
A man with incredibly long pants, which says "Blessed 2 wear the worlds longest shorts"
Got some new Martyn clothes at the Quebec flea market and they don't all fit quite as well.... #kitbashlore (Original post at: www.instagram.com/p/DT_-JpAEVOp/ )
Dollmaker helps Martyn cheat, by using its body part swapping power in the absolute stupidest possible way. #kitbashlore
Martyn in front of a diorama of dinosars, pointing at a duckbill dinosaur
Martyn looking at an Ankylosaur and some sort of carnivorous dinosaur. (idk species.)
Martyn is learning dinosaur spells at the Redpath Museum. #kitbashlore
Martyn the nendoroid in front of a sign saying "Martes americana, American Marten/Martre d'Amerique"
Same shot pulled back to show a taxidermied Marten in a case.
"An American Martyn? I'm not American, I'm from La Noscea--oh wait I see."
(My friend's take: this is clearly Martyn's fursona because of course his fursona's a weasely thing.) #kitbashlore
martyn next to a small tub of homemade ice cream
An unorthodox use of the Northerlies spell: making snow cream! #kitbashlore
Martyn, a nendoroid, next to a mug that says "World's Okayest Professor".
One of Martyn's blue mage students probably got him this one. #kitbashlore
"So it's called Heated Rivalry, and it's about two hockey players who are secretly--"
"What the hells is hockey?"
#kitbashlore
Dollmaker in front of a painting of maple syrup harvesting
Martyn in front of minatures of local cabins and buildings
Much food
Dollmaker and Martyn are in Quebecoerthas this week. They visited a cabane à sucre (sugar shack) for traditional maple syrup dinner. #kitbashlore
Photo of a nendoroid (Martyn) with tea in a rocking chair holding the book Oliver Twist, while a black crochet creature (Dollmaker) stares at the book Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, with the book Heart Bones propped up next to it.
It's even colder today so the lads are having book club. Dollmaker is wondering when this book will explain the lore behind the magic trousers, when Heart Bones did not have any bones inside a heart. Martyn is reading 'Oliver Twist' for tips on how to befriend rich benefactors. #kitbashlore
My ship has no cheerleaders (in universe) lol. Literally the only person who even vaguely supports them staying together is Drusilla and that's because she gets a cut of what Dollmaker's paying Martyn for the dress up games. #kitbashlore
A nendoroid in blue crochet coat next to a black and white crochet creature wearing a crochet cloak and a tiny hat. They are both holding their hands over a lit candle, with a background mimicking a window into a snowy landscape behind them.
So snowy today even voidsent are chilly... Or at least pretending to be for cute dress up reasons. #kitbashlore
