thinking about the difference between dolls and stuffed animals
"doll" is subtractive, "start with a person, remove every part that isn't a doll". the not-person of it is the point.
a stuffed animal, on the other hand, is its own thing. a stuffed animal is built up from materials into something newer, softer, broader; more whole than its components
and thinking about turning a being defined by itself negative space into something that is homogeneously positive.
re: noncon, tf, doll //
taking something defines itself in negative terms, and taking that away from from it. instead of being defined by scars and trauma it can just be… cute and soft and loveable.
how do we violate something with a humanity-shaped hole? we take the hole away.
leave it with only the positive aspects of being a toy. make it cuddleable; give it no purpose except cuddling. no more angst, no more ~processing~. a one-note experience: love difused through a polyfill neural net

interpreting silent faves from dollies as "acknowledging that this one can be reformatted to a stuffed animal full of love w/o consent"
(I'm kidding! but also curious if anydoll has thoughts/feelings about the concept)

@lioness I think maybe we think of the body as a doll, because we're often in a state where no one is particularly fronting, and we can just be leaving it mostly to its own devices while we move the parts we need to? So for someone else (trusted) to treat our body that way feels natural?
But I also, separately, like the idea of being molded into things, and it doesn't much matter what if it's within my limits. -Cedar
