why are titles just getting random-er and random-er as we go on?
This is about which storyline I should as to how all of my dolls come to live... where they live. oh. in my dollhouse, that's right.
Idea 1 *drumroll*
dollhouse (need to come up with a name...) is an orphanage type thing, dolls are orphans/foster children. kinda sad. makes sense as to why they all have different last names though. This could be interesting
Idea 2 *drumset*
all dolls are orphans, adopted by... me? we don't have a 'mom' figure anymore... (trying to find a 44 to be one) well, they come to live here and are adopted- I already said that. Then I have to change all their last names, but they are technically siblings, not sure I like this idea as much for them (love it for other doll 'families' though, just don't think it's for mine)
Is there a term other than sibling/sisters/family, or is it just the commonly accepted form of doll relationships here?
Idea 3 *bagpipes*
This is what I've been going with for a while, all the dolls are from different families, and they live at Cape Cardam Studios, a production company, where different things are filmed, etc. They live like family though
Idea 4 *applause* (I'm running out of sound affects)
This is my newest (but also oldest) idea...
Cape Cardam Academy! It's a boarding school! do I like this idea? kind of. do I think it'll stick? no. all my dolls are different ages, so it doesn't really make sense. Cape Cardam Academy was was just a series I wanted to put on a YouTube channel back when that was my dream over the summer, so that's where.. everything? came from
Idea 5 *camera shutter*
This is the worldwide dolls approach, all the dolls live on the same island/town, it's a really cool idea, definitely go check out her blog, I like this one more than the boarding school idea
Idea 5 3/4 *sound of stapler clicking*
It was going to be 5 1/2, but Harry Potter
All the dolls live in a boarding school like complex/grounds thing, living room/kitchen is the 'common room' or...

back to boarding school, and I don't have a sound affect for it
They can all go to Cape Cardam Academy and be in the same house! does that work? idk. I'm running out of ideas
advice greatly needed. how are your dolls 'related?' (there has to be another word, right?)

I love all of your ideas! Here’s what I hope to do for my collection:
I don’t have enough dolls for this yet, and I won’t any time soon because I plan to keep my historicals and GOTY’s as display dolls and sometimes side characters. My truly me dolls will be the main characters. but all of my Truly Me Dolls will be friends with each other, likely with Lilly as the main main character. The different rooms in my doll house (if I ever decide to make one) would represent different houses, but events would most often take place in Lilly’s room and outside. The kitchen and other rooms that aren’t bedrooms will all be Lilly’s.
I’m Planning on getting 83 this Summer, so I’m really excited for that! That’s step one towards that idea, since Hazel (83) will be Lilly’s best freind. (sorry I spelled freind wrong, when I spell it correctly it autocorrects to frowns). I did just order Nanea though, so I’ll probably use her in stop motions for now!
*guitar riff*
My dolls are all kinda adopted siblings and I'm there adopted mom, so they just call me Annabelle. Its kind of like idea 3 because I have my channel and all, but I just call them the AGBookWormz family
Just saying, the doll family universe is the most confusing thing ever to exist. I'm trying not to think about it. :O
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*explosion*
4! My dolls are all adopted sisters/brothers who took on the same last name. My dollhouse needs an expansion!
these are cool ideas! i always struggle to figure out why my dolls all live together. they're all different ages (but they are all teens) and they all have different last names so its kinda weird. what i kinda like to think in my head is that they're like a group of misfits who have no where else to go. And my oldest doll gets to decide when new people join. so she always breaks the news to the rest of my dolls when im getting a new doll. ive been kinda looking for a different explanation though.
I like Idea 1 and Idea 3.
I had my own plot. (I use this with my dolls) They were all separated from one another when they were little and got their own families and of course, new last names. Now, they found their biological family and are living together. Idk. Thought it might be iNsPiRaTiOnAl or something idk LOL.
I like number 4 the academy boarding school
Well I only have 2 dolls right now, but I'm planning to make all my dolls be adopted siblings, and some of them would be biological siblings. Also I want to have I guess a "mom" figure, and they all live in the same house. This is what most people do I think. But there's SO many ways you can do this. You could even make them actually be dolls and you're the owner, but they can move on their own. I can't really explain it, but its sort of like AGsmiless' series "Counting On"
