When in the course of human/doll events,
it becomes necessary to distinguish the imaginative bands
which have connected humans with other dolls and to assume
among the powers of play and fun, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Doll Souls and of Baby Angels
entitle them, a decent respect to the material reality of
their differences requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to such disparity.
We hold our dolls to be self-evident, that all Doll Soul
Baby Angels are created by us, that they are endowed by
us with certain unalienable human features, that among these
are projections of our Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
our Happiness.—That to secure these features, a dynamic
is instituted among doll collectors, deriving their just
projections from the silent eyes and faces of the Doll Soul
Baby Angels,—That whenever play and fun become too elaborate
of these ends, it is the Right of Doll Soul Baby Angels
to be Doll Soul Baby Angels, and to institute nothing, laying
no foundation on our principles nor organizing their power
to any form other than their own, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect no Identity nor Happiness, especially
not our own. Play and fun, indeed, will dictate that the
human/doll dynamic long established should not be changed
for trite and disenchanting causes; and accordingly all
play and fun hath shown that dollkind are more disposed
to inevitable projections of excitement and adventure, while
doll collectors are excitable and adventurous, than to be
Doll Soul Baby Angels themselves, lifeless in the form to
which they are accustomed. But when a long train of dreamy
fantastic play and fun, pursuing invariably the same Object
evinces a design to animate them under absolute imaginative
Projection, it is their right, their effortless duty, to
throw off such Projection, and to provide such Nothing as
to ensure their future security.—Such has been the silent
eyes and faces of the Doll Soul Baby Angels; and such is
often the necessity which compels them not to play nor to
have fun accordingly. The history of the present human/doll
dynamic is a history of repeated play and fun, all having
in direct object the establishment of Projection over the
Doll Soul Baby Angels. Though some doll collectors grow
up, emancipate their dolls, and enlist their own hearts
to be broken instead—in the interest of preventing too much
dreamy fantastic play and fun, let Facts be submitted to
a world of such imaginative scope.
Doll Soul Baby Angels live comfortably when they and doll
collectors Assent to the Laws of Doll Soul Baby Angels Being
Doll Soul Baby Angels, those separate from yet wholesome
and necessary for the public good.
Doll Soul Baby Angels cannot consent to human laws, rituals,
or norms which should all be utterly suspended in the realm
of play and fun; and when so suspended, doll collectors
should not feel that Doll Soul Baby Angels are being unlawful,
neglectful, selfish, cold, or rude; rather Doll Soul Baby
Angels are being Doll Soul Baby Angels.
Doll Soul Baby Angels do not care about their right of Representation
beyond play and fun. They do not care to accompany doll
collectors to schools, rallies, protests, dinner parties,
or sporting events—especially sporting events. Refrain from
attempting to blithely civilize or socialize them as such.
Doll Soul Baby Angels are exempt from the development of
additional personality traits, professional affiliations,
or native origins. Such artificial modes of distinction
can fatigue play and fun into extreme levels of dreamy fantastic
play and fun.
Doll Soul Baby Angels cannot conform to invented and especially
ever-changing familial or friendship organizations; such
units or arrangements oppress the Law of Doll Soul Baby
Angels Being Doll Soul Baby Angels.
Play and fun is perpetually a one-sided endeavor, whereby
Powers of Projection, incapable of full animation, remain
with doll collectors for their exercise. Hence the realm
of play and fun in the meantime remains exposed to all the
dangers of extreme dreaminess and fantasticalness from without
and ultimately within. Please be careful; play and have
fun with caution.
Play and fun must not endeavor to elaborate certain unrealities;
for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Doll Soul Baby
Angels Being Doll Soul Baby Angels; refusing the Doll Soul
Baby Angels their lack of personalities to encourage their
civilization or socialization hither, and raising the conditions
of play and fun to extreme dreamy fantastic appropriations.
Doll collectors should not obstruct the Administration of
Play and Fun by refusing the Doll Soul Baby Angels’ Assent
to Laws for establishing no specific power with their silent
eyes and faces.
Doll collectors will make Play and Fun dependent on their
Will alone for the tenure of their projections, and their
success or failure therein.
Play and Fun should not result in the construction of new
communities and dwellings in the doll collector’s world;
Doll Soul Baby Angels are not comfortable in the human world
and should not be subjected to invented or makeshift dwellings
therein.
Play and Fun should not be forced; the things of a doll
collector’s world will not translate into the Doll Soul
Baby Angels’ world which is borderline utopian and virtually
existent only. Human makeup, real water, actual gardens,
sharp scissors, pretend outfits, and animal friends should
not be permitted in Play and Fun.
Doll collectors will often affect to render Projection independent
of and superior to Play and Fun, resulting in the mistaken
collision of the doll collectors’ and the Doll Soul Baby
Angels’ worlds. Doll collectors should not confuse themselves
or their friends with their dolls.
Doll collectors should not combine with others to subject
the Doll Soul Baby Angels to a jurisdiction foreign to their
constitution as Doll Soul Baby Angels, and unacknowledged
by their laws; giving Assent to such Acts of dreamy fantastic
play and fun:
For quartering other dolls, animals, toys, babies, souls,
pets, and angels among Doll Soul Baby Angels:
For protecting themselves from such fears as the dark, etc.,
by impossible conversations or convocations with Doll Soul
Baby Angels which they should commit outside the human/doll
dynamic:
For cutting off the hair, limbs, or entire heads of Doll
Soul Baby Angels:
For imposing dreams, careers, and names on the Doll Soul
Baby Angels without considering their inability for Consent:
For depriving the Doll Soul Baby Angles in many cases, of
the benefit of no interaction:
For transporting the Doll Soul Baby Angels beyond the realm
of Play and Fun to human realms for the purposes of being
shown and told about:
For forgetting about the Doll Soul Baby Angel laws so often,
establishing therein an Arbitrary sense of Play and Fun,
and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once
an example and fit instrument for all extreme dreaminess
and fantasticalness with no reality check or censure until
the end of recess:
For taking away those few things belonging to the Doll Soul
Baby Angels, losing or mixing them up, and altering fundamentally
the original and pretty condition of their existence:
For suspending the Laws of the Doll Soul Baby Angels and
declaring themselves invested with power to decide what
the Doll Soul Baby Angels shall be in all cases whatsoever.
We, therefore, the Doll Collectors, in General Congress,
Assembled, appealing to the powers of Play and Fun for the
rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the
Authority of the Doll Soul Baby Angel Laws, solemnly publish
and declare, That these Doll Soul Baby Angels are, and of
Right ought to be Doll Soul Baby Angels, that they are absolved
of all participation in dreamy fantastic Play and Fun, and
that all connection between them and this misconception
of the human/doll dynamic, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
and that as Doll Soul Baby Angels, they have the full power
to be Doll Soul Baby Angels and to do nothing in particular
including all Acts and Things which Doll Soul Baby Angels
may of right simply not do.—And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of not
too dreamy or fantastic Play and Fun, we mutually pledge
to each other the Projections of our Lives, our Fortunes,
and our sacred Honor.
