Since We've Been Gone

Hello, everyone. Elsa here. Long time no post, right? Well I just wanted to say that I hope these words find you well. The world is chaotic right now, and luckily, She's family has been spared from most it. They continue to remain in good health and in good spirits as the days blur together one after the other. Although there is little I can do to help my loyal readers, especially over a format like this, I decided that updating the blog is the least I can do. May this be a small distraction for you during these trying times.

This February, Loki had been working on a blog post series accounting all of our adventures during Christmas and New Years. He was interrupted when the schools began to close, shutting down She's university and bringing her home. It's not secret that Loki either did, or still does, have a crush on She, and he's always been soft on her. He immediately forfeited the laptop so that She could use it to continue her classes, which would run until early May. But we have had new dolls that joined the family since then, and it's only fair that we introduce them to you in this small update post.

Loki's series is still going to be published, but we'd like to hear your opinion on when that should be. Should we hold it back until next winter, or release it this summer? Please let me know in the comments.

The first arrival was Maja, who joined the family back in December. She is an Amazon Exclusive Funko Pop of Elsa. Maja is wearing Elsa's nightgown from Frozen 2 and holding an ice shard with the emblem of the water spirit. Her finding day was December 13th.
We spent a while trying to choose a name for her that wasn't "Elsa", and she liked "Maja" best. "Maja" is a Norwegian name that means, "splendid", "bitter", or "of the sea". The last meaning was her favorite because of what Elsa did during the climax of Frozen 2... no spoilers, here, but it's on Disney Plus now and we watch it nearly every weekend.

Our second arrival was a long time waiting. This is Kamala Khan, the very same one that Wanda knew back in the warehouse when she was first found. Kamala comes from the comic series "Ms. Marvel", and she is a "Marvel Rising Secret Warriors" doll. We found her on eBay and we were very fortunate to have this exuberant hero come into our lives on December 21st, right before the last-minute rush of holiday shopping. 

This next doll came on Christmas Day, like the majority of She's collection did. Meet Valkyrie, from the 2017 movie Thor: Ragnarok. She is the same doll as Carol, a Marvel Legends action figure. Equipped with a cape and a sword, she truly captures the resilient spirit of the women warriors that she was named for.

Merida was a doll that we never knew we needed. Our human had been searching for a doll of the popular Scottish princess for quite some time and she was found, once again, on eBay. She was ordered on February 10th and entered our home on March 14th. Merida also comes with her very own cape and weapon, but unlike Valkyrie, she has that trademark accent everyone identifies with Merida.

I have to present one last doll... er, dolls. She loves poetry, as is obvious by her own writings, but Edgar Allan Poe is one of her favorites. When She found out that Books-A-Million had and exclusive Funko Pop of the poet on March 19th, a curbside pickup was definitely in order. This Poe Pop comes with a raven friend called Eliza, named after Edgar's own mother in real life. Poe is quite the artist himself and likes to believe that he is an reincarnation of Edgar Allan Poe himself. That may or may not be true, but he certainly does write a lot, using one of Eliza's feathers as a quill.
And I saved the best piece of news for last. On February 29th, Leap Day, She took Nessa and Vision out to the park for a social distancing date and Vision proposed! Nessa and Vision are now engaged. Vision had been planning this for some time and trusted Anna and I to make a nice photoshoot for them whenever they came home. What do you think?

The miniature flowers were a nice touch. It turns out shotglasses are the perfect vase size for dolls.

Nessa and Vision's "ship name" is Visionrose. Isn't it the cutest?

Vision wanted propose on Leap Day since it only occurs once every four years, making their anniversary extra special. I guess the two of them will have to decide if they want to celebrate on February 28th or March 1st from now on.

All the flowers we collected were from the humans' backyard. The white ones were ________, the pink ones were ____________, and the purple were ______________.

But they were quickly destroyed to create an adorable photo of Visionrose in an indoor flower field.

The photoshoot concluded with a sweet kiss from Nessa.
Well, I think that's all that needs to be said before we get back to the main storyline of our lives. Now that she is out of school, Loki has his turn with the laptop and now he can finish writing about what happened last December. I'd like to hear your opinion on when you want that released. Should it be this summer or shall we wait until this December comes around?

It's good to be back,

Queen Elsa Rodgers
