Doll Spotlight: Doll #5 Logan Crossland

-

 On the same trip to AGP DC towards the end I counted up what it would cost me to purchase the things I had and figured out that I had just enough left over for another doll. So of course since I got Tenney, I had to get Logan.

Logan had technically been a character in my doll world for a bit before it leaked that AG was even maybe producing a boy doll. I can't remember when or even why he showed up, but his original name was Nick. Logan, and by association his family, was my first doll with lore. It's so deep and even magical that I've never shared it before. The Crossland's lore is so extensive that they have their own folder in my doll lore section. Long story short Logan's family is Santa Claus. Think "Arthur Christmas" in terms of how the Santa Claus name and job is passed down through generations. Very few are aware of this, obviously Logan and his sister Estella, also their significant others; Saige and Florence respectively, and Saige's sister Maisie. A couple times a year Logan travels back home, canonically in Greenland, to check up on things. He always goes up a few weeks before christmas to get things done, usually bringing Estella, Florence, Saige, and Maisie along with him. The Crossland have magical abilities, along of course with the magical reindeer. Logan’s reindeer is Comet (blonde bull), Estella’s was Blitz (dark down cow), Estella’s new reindeer is Vixen (red cow), Saige’s is Gazelle (fawn cow), and Florence’s is Everest (white cow). There are also more including Logan's uncle's Nick and Robert, Nick’s is Fred (gray bull), and Robert’s is Cinders (tan cow). The Crossland's lore is wild and very deep, this is barely scratching the surface.

Logan identifies as cisgender and straight. He is dating Saige. I kept the doll's first name, despite it being different from the preexisting character's. I changed his last name though, as I do with most of my dolls to separate them from the AG characters.   I chose Crossland because I had linked christmas-> Jesus -> cross, so it made sense at the time. I kinda regret it now not going to lie, but I can't change it now. I'm sure you have questions surrounding Logan's character and lore, so feel free to ask away.

  Wren sits expectedly on the wooden swing on the front porch. It’s an unusually warm day for mid March, 70°F, sunny clear skies. The world is starting to wake up after a long winter’s slumber. A flock of robins congregate in the front lawn eating the spring season’s first offerings. Wren’s sporting her orange knitted crop top with brown straps, a patchwork pair of jean shorts, and her old reliable boots, dark grey with flowers scattered about. She sits, watching the passing cars with anticipation, looking for a bright lime green Subaru to drive in.  Her bestest friend is coming to the Blog By Dolls household to live with her, like they always dreamed of. Yasmine had sent in a request to join and listed Wren as a point of reference. Needless to say Wren was a wonderful reference and Yasmine passed everything she needed to and will be coming to live in the BBD house! Now to wait for Yasmine to pull up. Wren sways back and forth on the swing as her sister’s red GMC SUV pulls int...

Spotlight: Doll #32- Yasmine Williams

 The plan was to finish up these dolls intros before I added anymore new dolls to the collection, but that's not how it worked out. I asked for a AG outfit for my birthday, but didn't want to ask for a doll because I didn't want anyone spending that much money on me. But my Nana ended up giving me a 125 dollar AG gift card so I used it to get Makena. Her unboxing video is up on my youtube! All my links are on my Socials page here on the blog. Yasmine is a fashionista. She loves styling and posting her ootd. She hopes to become a fashion designer. She grew up a few houses down from Wren and Lark. Yasmine is loosely based off both the Makena character from AG and also one of my best friends growing up. Yasmine loves bright bold colors, lime green being her current fav. but her favorite color switches up often.  Yasmine is a cis woman and being my newest doll I haven't settled on what her sexuality is, I'm thinking pan maybe? She rooms with Wren in the BBD house.  Got ...

 I got Quinnie from my cousin for Christmas. She was one of her dolls and I was so happy to finally have a Marie-Grace doll! Quinnie is a huge true crime junkie. She loves learning about true crime and trying to help move unsolved cases along. She wants to be a forensic scientists. She grew up in New York in a small apartment with her dads, Amos and Daniel. She has Gastroesophageal reflux disease that caused scarring of her esophagus, which in turn caused a narrow esophagus. The narrow esophagus caused Esophageal dysphagia, she now eats her meals through a nasogastric tube. Quinnie is a cis woman and is currently questioning her sexuality. She has two dogs, Yarrow and Basil. She doesn't live in the BBD house. Any quinnie questions? Ask away!
