Sitting in front of a fire place with Jon
 
So... Jon is one of my favorite Game of Thrones chartacters and I just adore him. Fire places are nice and romantic and first and foremost warm. I hate the cold.
 
Not the best, but it has been ages since I posted something.

Kathy “Snow-White” Wheling
Mutation: Her blood is a dark shade of blue. When she bleeds she becomes invisible.
She was born as a mutant and has always felt different than her peers. Discovering her power by chance she relished in finally having her answers. Due to her ability she developed a fascination with knives.
 
Another set I did for her:

Huh, another doll. I guess I'll make normal sets again...

I like Megan. She seems so friendly and sweet and is still a good fighter.

I think they are really cool, even if they are kind of creepy.
They are Emma Frost's clones. If I got it right their names are Celeste, Mindee and Pheobe.

I am 100 percent positive that my stylist is bat-shit crazy. His name is Julius and he looks normal enough. In fact he looks tremendously boring compared to virtually every other Capitol citizen. He is wearing a crisp white suit that makes him look ridiculously pale, but otherwise he seems completely regular. His hair isn’t neon-colored and his face doesn’t look like a rainbow exploded in its vicinity. The only oddity about his appearance is his weird fascination with the color (or rather absence of color) white. The members of my prep team that go by the names of Xarvus, Spicia and Maxima have toned down their colorful variety in a way that their attire would still reflect the height of Capitol fashion, but wouldn’t be too far from the pale tone that Julius apparently favors.
I don’t immediately grasp that I just made the acquaintance of a lunatic as he walks into the room frowning exaggeratedly. I blush self-consciously, because I am aware that there are people out there who are far more beautiful than I will ever be, but as I would later learn his scrutiny isn’t directed at me, but at a piece of trash Xarvus or Spicia had forgotten to take out. He makes a detour around that tiny thing as if it would infect him with the plague would he come closer than 6 feet.
“Hi”, he cheerily greets me after throwing one last highly disapproving glance at the offending object. “You are clean”, he states appreciatively and I nod unsure how to react. Of course I would be clean after three people for hours to no end scrubbed every single pore of my body. I feel like someone had dunked me into disinfectant for a day or two. Then he randomly starts jumping possibly to get a better look at me, but maybe just (because he can/for the heck of it/for shits and giggles). After that he asks me three questions that have no relation to each other whatsoever. 1. “What did you think of last year’s costumes?” This question makes at least somewhat sense. I politely answer that I almost always like the tree get-up we are dressed in, but that I think everybody else went a little overboard. He agrees with me as he twirls a lock of my hair around his finger. 2. “What are your favorite animals?” I begin to shrug, but he shushes me ordering me not to move for whatever reason. So I am left to silently contemplate the answer before I say that I like a lot of animals, but squirrels and birds are probably my favorites. 3. “Do you know Franca Dorus?” I have absolutely no idea who he’s talking about and I tell him so. Apparently that is exactly what he wants to hear as he suddenly straightens up gives me a brilliant if slightly creepy smile and disappears without further notice.
I don’t know what I expected from my stylist, but it most certainly wasn’t him.
 
Xarvus, Maxima and Spicia return to dress me up for the big show. They are so very excited. Between all their talking I somehow manage to mention the piece of trash that was left previously. They shriek in unison and trip over each other in order to clean it up. Only when they have killed every bacteria in a three mile radius they return to me thanking me over and over. I chose not to inform them that Julius has already noticed their mistake, because I don’t want them to be even more frantic and possibly mess up my costume and maybe I feel sympathy for them.
During the process of dressing I close my eyes preferring to zone out. I imagine I was in our forest at home. I nearly feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my face, I hear leaves rustling and smell the trees. These memories of happiness give me strength, because if I had been happy before there is always the possibility that I’ll be happy again. If not in this life then in the next one. I am so lost in my fantasy world that Maxima is forced to poke me with a needle to get my attention. After flinching I smile apologetically into their curious faces and turn my head to look into the giant mirror. Observing my reflection I finally find out why my dress is so heavy and why my forest illusion felt so real.
Extending from my shoulder blades are branches. Real branches cut from real trees with green leaves still hanging from them. I am so in awe over this part of my home that it takes me a while to notice the rest of my cloths. Apart from the branches I am wearing a simple grass green dress and a brown blazer the pattern of which is probably supposed to remind of bark, but looks entirely too complicated and elaborate. It is beautiful nevertheless and I smile serenely.
The prep team claps enthusiastically and congratulate each other on their good work.
 
Walking is nearly impossible with half a tree hanging from my back as I am barely able to stand and therefore I am carried to the carriage. There I meet up with Halo who is dressed in a similar get-up. His eyes widen in awe and he smiles. In such a short time I learned to expect his smiles anywhere and at any time. They never fail to calm me.
Just before the chariots are rolled out Julius comes running in from somewhere carrying a big object hidden behind black velvet. “I didn’t find any squirrels”, he says to me when he has reached us. “It’s a shame.” I nod, because I was told to agree to whatever crazy idea the stylist might have. “But I got you this!”, he practically yells lifting the fabric. Under it there was a bird, a living animal. Halo and I gasp in surprise and delight. He holds the cage in my direction expectantly as if I should know what to do next. When I don’t move Maxima runs over and opens the door of the golden cage taking it from Julius. The bird chirps nervously before contently settling in my branches. Its quite sounds are in the back of my mind for the duration of the glitzy spectacle the Capitol holds. The bird is right there with the tree reminding me of the world back home that still exists and will continue to no matter what will happen to me.

At a county fair with Pippin
 
That would be so much fun. I love Pippin. He is so sweet and innocent and they don't give him enough credit.

A normal relaxing day with Joshua
 
Provided they somehow managed to overthrow Anna of course. I really like Joshua, I don't know why. Since he technically doesn't know how we humans live, I'd take him on a completely regular day with me, maybe go to a park or watch a movie...
 
P.S. His actor plays the recycle-guy in Eureka's episode "Phased and Confused"... just a fun fact.

Ryan Reynolds as Aquaman
 
I'm not satisfied with this set, but I fear it won't improve much if it stays in my drafts for longer...

Dancing with Cap
 
I wanted to do something different from the classical red, white, blue.
 
Just 20 more to go... *sigh* I'm never going to finish.

Just something I did....
The title is from James Blunt's song "Dangerous" the first lines.
