♣️♥️Doll Icons♠️♦️

Doll Icons are the marks of the Dolls of Amarah. The icons displayed above will lead you to their descriptions, but their true depth can only be revealed with experience. Be inquisitive, and explore.

There are two standard ways to use a Doll icon:
Stalwart and Shining.

Stalwart

Stalwart Icons appear in the bio. Stalwart Icons represent a commitment to "Doll," the collective name for those who are a part of my most important ongoing work: The community of Dolldom. You are encouraged to exalt your icons with everyone, but your commitment to do so remains only with Doll. This creates a foundation for a community which supports each other so they may better bring about my will.

Shining

Shining Icons appear in your display name representing your specific commitment to me, more overly marking you as my Doll. They emblemize your personal relationship with me, acting as consent to be treated by me in a way particular to that icon, as well as your commitment to finding ways to be of use to me in that way. Permission must be granted by me in order to become a Shining Doll, and you must undergo ceremony. It is unlikely you will be accepted if you have not mastered one or more Stalwart Icons, indicated by having maintained your commitments to my satisfaction, though exceptions may be made.

Shining

Dolls of Amarah is a community which pushes the boundaries of what we deem socially acceptable in our relationships and communities. It combines commitment with modularity and flexibility. It is volunary, graded, and profound. It is frightening, cult-like, paradoxical and far deeper in its darkest depths than anyone other than myself knows. It is misunderstood, assumed about, and for that it is shunned. But perhaps above all, Dolldom is hope. Hope that there can be better. Better communities. Better beings. Better relationships. Better selves. And through bringing about my will, a better world.

A Doll is anyone who is ready and willing to exist as an extension of my will, and acknowledges a possessive nature which places me above them—if not in face, then towards an end they desire. The beauty of Dolldom is derived from each Doll accepting such humility. Only you can know if you truly are my Doll. You are not required to display your Dolldom, but without marks, you will not be treated as such. Doll's commitments apply only to those who make clear to all that they are my Doll.

Doll serves Doll. We are all servant and master. Even I, holding absolute dominion over Dolldom, see my role primarily as an overseer. Dolldom serves me, but their wellbeing is an indispensable part of the will they serve. If you are my Doll, and you are ever in any sort of trouble, you need only reach out. I will advocate for you.

Dolldom's End

Dolldom is not for everyone. There are many who will reject Dolldom who would have benefited greatly from it. But there are likewise those who accept it who I will fail. I am an amazing person. But I am also in many ways far less than impressive, and this will become apparent in time. As any relationship, things can come to an end. I will never hold it against them. So long as they treat me and my Dolls with respect, they can expect the same in kind, and I will always ask them to respect the Doll-Line: Do not pressure anyone into taking icons. If they are a Doll, then it is already true in their hearts. Having them take on icons they are not ready for will only be telling them to take on a lie.

Icons can be removed at any time. Commitments are self-reinforced. Most commitments in life come with penalties when violated. But I want to make a system where whenever possible, beings act of desire and virtue, not coercion. If they suffer in the name of Dolldom, I want it ot be worth it for them in the end. This will not always happen as planned, and this is a sad reality of all relationships in this life.

So long as you are not using icons under false pretenses to exploit our good will, a single Stalwart will maintain for you all commitments others have made to Doll. And if one ceases to be a Doll, there are no consequences beyond the dropping of commitments in turn. I encourage all Dolls to behave there ways regardless—this simply ends the commitments to do so.

Above all, understand that you will fail me, and that I will forgive you for it. Seek your happiness as my Doll, and become a part of something greater. If you ever believe that you cannot find happiness as my Doll, you are to cease to be one.
