Just thinking about an idea I had a while back... There are a lot of (Hans Christian Andersen) fairytales about inanimate objects and their adventures. Like it would be fun to make a whole family of em.

Wilhelm Andras is a lonely elderly man who owns a small second hand/antique shop on the outskirts of Book-End. There is a distinct 19th century atmosphere to the place. Many of the items carry a slight magical air to them (bc my explanation for anything coming to life is blue fairy, Ruan was drunk blue fairy, this is past victorian blue fairy apparently) they are reaching their 100th birthday. Basically what I'm saying here is they're tsukumogami. So now Wilhelm suddenly has a large family who conveniently can carry out the stories! He's basically their father figure.

I'm planning a wooden satyr and shepherdess from the shepherdess and the chimney sweep and the mahogany top from the sweethearts. However there's a lot more stories I can think of that would be super cool in this family. The paper ballerina and tin soldier I referenced in an earlier post, The Teapot, the old street lamp, the piggy bank, the darning needle. (More tba probably)

They would be a super cute family of anachronistic victorian era artificials aaaa
