Mr Kensington; The Primary Protector -- 28 - He/they - Marionette

Mr Kensington; the primary Protector -- 28 - he/they - marionette

Some of you might actually remember Mr Kensington, one of two matching marionettes that we once thought characters, and eventually ‘Mental Guides’. In all actuality- and in hindsight it’s so very obvious- they were both Alters.

Mr K’s been looking out for us since childhood, primarily handling high-intensity situations that the others can’t handle. He's had to put up with a lot of shit, and we’re incredibly appreciative of him and his logical, no-nonsense attitude, and even- dare I say it- his sarcasm.~

DID introjects, not fanart ▸ reblogs are fine

Some sketches of our Mike & his mother, Dolly.

These two are a great example of the healing that's finally been happening within the Factory Cluster, and it warms my heart to see. Dolly- Mrs. Teavee, sourced from the musical- unfortunately lost her son in the tour; she's been so scared of the whole factory, that besides one or two outer-factory trips, she's refused to leave her room for years.

So when Mike- sourced from the first movie, but fused with the second- reawoke, now a young adult, she was quite nervous. She didn't want to see him because it hurt too much at it not being her Mike. But he sort of persisted in that mischievous way he does, and barriers were broken, and she adopted him as her own son because it felt right. It was a form of acceptance for the mind to heal.

Dolly used to refuse to even talk about her son, but I'm allowed to say all this here because she's personally spoken about the whole thing on stream, which is... something we didn't think would ever happen. She's healed a lot, and she's helped Mike a lot with his own anxiety around the Factory. Sadly she still won't leave her room, but it's small steps.

'the Personifications' - Iris // Light/Sight - Final Concepts

'The Personification of Light, of whom- like all senses- lacks a sense: for her, it is Sound. Not that it ever stops her; spoken language is a newer concept, and visuals have been here since the beginning.

Rarely found in the same outfit twice, always found with a large pair of glasses, and never found wearing a grey darker than silver: Iris has been known to up the brightness in the lives she enters as she governs over her purpose.'

One of the more perplexing deities, of whom hasn't been entirely fleshed out in the story yet. But her design is finalised! Or at least, one of them; she always wears her hair/outfit differently.

Daily Diary Doodle - #001 - Oh Joy

One square book, 366 blank pages, and the life of many in one: the Doodle Diary! Last year we did around 200 drawings in all different mediums, expressions, and efforts, pushing ourselves to experiment more over anything. Yes, we didn't do all 366, but I'm damn proud that we got as far as that. ⠀ New Year, New Book; and this year it’s an exercise in restraint-- to understand that quick and scribbly is fine even in comparison to neat and perfect. Ultimately, we're trying to keep it more on the simple side: one or two mediums per, more typography, etc. Hopefully our social media will reflect that too; we’re trying to not be so specific on what we post, to lessen the grip of the algorithm mentally.

We’ve got some things from our Instagram queued up for the next few days. Not sure if there’ll be a consistent schedule or anything; it’ll all depend on if we continue passively using tumblr I imagine.

the way our brain works, is if it’s not in sight, it’s not in mind.~

as said, Instagram is the best place to find us. But I wouldn’t say no to moving here a bit more, with how brutal the algorithm has been.
