To Love: Clouds, nighttime, cool temperatures, dragons, bells, fuzzy caterpillars, candy, bones, analog clocks, the scent of autumn leaves and illuminated dust, swings, floating on water, drawing, organizing, gaming, cartoons, films, stuffing as much information into this brain puff as possible, science, art, literature, mechanics, puppetry, plushies, poking roly polies.
To Loathe: Olives, crowds, raspberry-flavored candy, raw tomatoes, using telephones, tripping over tiny garden fences, the bristled creatures that drag their claws along the back of my skull when I'm trying to sleep.
To Shudder: Zombies, mold, peeling flesh, public restrooms.

Dilly-doaty droppin' drabble...
"I'm a guy with very diverse interests. Like 'adorable little dolls vs. weaponry and machinery' diverse. Some have even accused me of having MPD, but I can't help it if I like many different things!" T^T
A Dollmaker's creed...
"I adore dolls and puppets. The way they conceal a special sort of life within them. Not the sort of life most humans are familiar with, but something that can only be understood by living with them and sharing their world. Obtaining their perspective. Their fabricated, trapped existence. Beyond bodily needs and soiling emotions, they exist as pure, raw spirit...housed by the materialization of dreams. From these forms, a singular desire blossoms. The simple desire to be loved and cared for. To be cherished. These are the only pleasures that they ask of us. That simplicity is the most beautiful thing I've ever known. Their love is the purest of all forms. An existence that can only be realized by the acknowledgment of another. The love and belief of another. Like monsters and faeries, but physical. Tangible. It's just amazing. The love that we pour into them fills them with life and the desire to exist. They return that love with their entire selves. They live and die with us as mutualistic companions. They need us as we need them. Two halves of a perfect existence."
(Yes, this is a real doll. Her name is Kirakishou.) <3
A puppeteer's world...

"There's a tiny bat wearing drapery fluttering around in my room and it keeps tickling me! >.< Gerroff me!! *throws box at it*"
"Today a mink crossed my path. We stared at each other for 4 hours and 77 cricknitts. Then it vomited pink fluff and continued walking. It left little footprints in the carpet which I peeled off and tasted. By the taste, I determined that the mink was 62% sawdust. I like sawdust, so I chased down the mink and bit into its spine. A smartly dressed elk hit me over the head and told me that mink spines are for children. I ate his suit and sucked out his fluids. Then I used his bones to make a bicycle. Clickity-clack-clookity-clanky-cleee..."
"How interesting it would be if we were the sky and they composed the ground. Would they look up at us with such fondness? More likely, amusement."
