Allow me to introduce you Christian Elias Drosselmeyer - spelled with one eye and looking the same. Clockmaker / high court councilman / defender of children's dreams. My dear mentor I got to know at the age of six, thanks to a marvellously illustrated semi-coloring book - and later, to the full story and "The Nutcracker Prince" movie. Yeah, I think I have a full right to consider him my mentor and fairytale godfather - in being a child at heart, in appreciating toys, in seeing magic everywhere and so on - and love him as my own uncle/grandpa since. Oh, and did I mention his heart literally contains tons of some kind of warm, fiery magic and how does it all even fit in there and- and, Peter Boretski did an amazing job at voicing him in the movie...

Since May 2016, Drosselmeyer had finally moved to my place to stay - thanks to the skills and effort of the wonderful Danga-SunDragon - moreso, thanks to the same master, after a while he was joined by his lovely wife Martha (of whom I'll tell more later).

The "Godfather Creature" is just one of affectionate nicknames I gave him, since 1) he's not even fully human, as proven by the original story, and 2) I respect the very life expressed in him a lot.
