plushies

Handmade! Created for pattern / embroidery testing purposes.

Well...here it is. Most of the plushies I own, all in one convenient photograph!

The husky by Aurora in the lower left is one of my favorites...despite surviving a run through a wash and dry cycle with blankets, it's still one of the ones that I find comforting to sleep with at night.

The grey cat and pink bunny are both aliexpress finds...and I'm totally fawning over the style, even today...the cute goth stuff really speaks to me, aesthetically.

...The giant fox, also by Aurora, is a new addition, though I think it's gonna quickly become a night-time snuggle plush as well~

I feel I should post this here. This is King Purple Bunny in his crown (has since been slightly upgraded to one very similar but with more jewels), royal coat, medal, trophy, sceptre and royal carrot (has also been upgraded to a gold one). I'm fairly sure he's sitting on a throne but you can't see it.

He has an account on the Fediverse at @kingpurplebunny@takahe.social but doesn't post much (the bunny in charge of it thinks it's too much admin, unless he is also able to post about himself).

My plushie friend has a birthday and I am running with it, he's getting a party! Kicks and his friends are gonna have fun celebrating today, I even have a little cupcake and candle for later!

We're having a meal together! I saw Vaporeon in the corner stand of a flea market, and decided to adopt them. Now they will have a place to call home again, and hugs too!

When you get your duck friend, you're supposed to whisper a cool name into their ear, and they'll be yours forever. I went with the name Foucault, after the creator of the Foucault Pendulum (Léon Foucault). A simple and elegant way to not only showcase the Earth's rotation, but also your approximate latitudinal location too (because the time it takes to complete a full rotation is influenced by your distance from the poles).

Anyway, science stuff aside my duck friend is incredibly soft, and has little beans in the bottom half so they can sit upright without having to balance them! I love giving them hugs and seeing them every day when I get back from work. Being that they are a tall and thin duck, I find them pretty difficult to photograph. Hopefully this side shot of them laying in bed is enough to showcase their cuteness!

Usually they come downstairs to listen to music with me while I eat breakfast. However, sometimes they want to sleep in.

Newest additions to my collection

Three WataYuri (My Job is Yuri) plushies stand in the back of a GochiUsa (Is the Order a Rabbit?) carabiner, WataOshi (I'm in Love with the Villainess) bookmarks, and boxed Yui Hirasawa plushie (K-On!).

I’ve had him since i was a baby. Very well loved too. He sits on my bed all cozy like and watching over me while a sleep!

Straight from "Yama no Susume" and other anime/manga - Yokan (adzuki bean jelly)

Sweet, mild, jelly-like with a slight graininess. Mild and mainly sweet. Not bad but not thrilling, but would make for good climbing or hiking rations.

Character: "What are you an old man?" Me: "No an old lady."

(The plushie is Anko from "Is the Order a Rabbit?"

My girls are ready to go see Tsukishiro Himari (Isiliel) at Neck in the Woods, San Francisco. They got the Wota bug from me. Concert Penlights in hand they are rearing to go.

In the fridge today to cool off a bit, here are my two plushie friends! Why two? Well let me tell you the story of how I got each:

I was shown this web series by the same name a while back by a friend and quite liked it, so when I eventually found out they made plushies of Chikn, I wanted one quite badly. Unfortunately, by the time I found out, they were already gone. I ended up waiting a few months, but after just figuring they were never coming back, I went to various websites and found a whole mountain of bootlegs. I figured what the heck, he looks a little silly but I will love him all the same!

Quite a few months passed after I got the first one and I ended up hearing that the original plushies were coming back too. So what did I do? I got another plushie of course as soon as I could! Now that I have both friends I kinda have the best of both worlds. The official plushie is one of the ones I handle sparingly and give little hugs, while the bootleg is one of my sleeping buddies!

The story behind this little guy is that a few friends and I went to a Toys-R-Us over 5 years ago, which was about to close down because of the bankruptcy. I found him on a fairly empty shelf staring me down with this amazing face, and knew immediately I wanted to bring them back home! Now I see Litten alongside their many other plushie pals every day, I'm glad I found them.

We had first flush Darjeeling today. Thank you Chiya for the wonderful cuppa.

I actually saw this adorable bean late last year and I absolutely had to get him! Maybe you are familiar with the Fundy, who is a Minecraft fox on the internet that codes up a bunch of silly things. I've watched a few of their vids, but really I just love this plush design, and I would've bought it anywhere I saw it.

I've had them for a few months now and I just absolutely adore their smile, and also just how much stuffing is in this plush omg. Soft but firm, I imagine I could squish him for ages and he'd spring right back instantly. Regardless, nothing but small hugs and boops from me (I'm too scared to accidentally hurt my babies lol).

Rize and Anya have become quite the pair.

I adopted this adorable octopus bunny at Anthrocon this year in their dealer's den! He's reversible, and the other side is a green/teal tie-die instead of the pink/blue in the image. Both sides have the same expression. My favorite part about him is the pearl beads for blushy cheeks!

Today I went to a few different retro game stores with a couple friends, and while it was fun to check out many of the things available there, in two different stores I found one plushie I wanted to take home. Sprigatito from one, with their amazingly big head and cute smile, and a black Yoshi from another store. As much as I love Yoshi, this is my first plush of him which is exciting! As for Sprigatito, I'm just very partial to those cute cat Pokemon designs I guess, they are so cute! I felt the same way about Litten, who I also have a plush of and should share in the future too!

Anyway, here's another picture of them in the bag from the store(s):

The Darling sisters gathered at Pan’s house to celebrate Wendy’s rescue. There were balloons, fancy lights, and treats (Prepared by Wendy).

Eventually, everyone was tired and headed off to bed.

Before leaving, Pan made sure that Wendy was okay and told her, “Remember to give me my medicine tomorrow morning, noon, and night!"

”Wendy smiled and assured him she had a bottle of the best-tasting medicine. A response that drew a frown from Pan. “Medicine should taste bad,” he muttered.

As Wendy drifted off, her last thoughts were, “I miss Mommy and Mother. Even if their medicine always tastes bad.”

And that is perhaps why she had the dream she did. When she awoke, she remembered being at a party with Mommy Chiya and Mother Syaro, as well as the local barista Chino-chan.

“What an odd dream,” Wendy said. "I wonder why I had four mothers."

I found this adorable bean in a flea market earlier this year. They are sleeping in an oversized stocking, and I just had to take them home! God I wish I could sleep like this Pikachu does, I'm so envious lol.

I don't know much about where they came from, though the tag looks to be in all Japanese. They likely had a long journey to get into my hands, I'm glad to have found them!

Wild Geese (Gray) agreed that disposing of Pan should be the next step. But sneaking in to put something in the medicine would be difficult. At night, the bottle was on the bedstand next to Wendy and during the day there was usually someone in the house's yard.

“I can go down the chimney when they are out for their morning constitutional.” Anko volunteered.

They all agreed to the plan. They were relieved not to be doing the dirty deed themselves.

So they all agreed and Anko was soon positioned on the roof of Pan’s house, waiting for their opportunity.

They demanded omurice. Who was I to say no?

Maybe I should have bought more cookies.

So, I don’t know if ya’ll do introductions but I will do one anyway. I collect, photograph, and love anime plushies. Someday I will do a pile photo of all my girls. I am post my photos on Mastodon and IG. I also write plushie adventure stories which are on AO3. Not sure how much posting to do here, I post usually 1 -3 photos a day. Anyway here are some of my girls.

This is Bumble, a handmade crochet bee! This little one was given to me by a friend a couple years ago who was getting into crochet as a hobby! They actually made a ton of these for many people in their life, and I was elated when they showed me some and asked if I'd like one too. I even got to pick the colors and a fragrance for the inside (lavender). When it was done a while later, I nearly cried from how kind the gesture was.

Anyway I figured I'd take a picture outside today to show them to you! Enjoy your day!

A few various bunny plushies I've collected over the years, in different styles from different manufacturers. Being a bunny myself, I plan on collecting many more!

Her coat has grown to become a bit off-white/brown over the years, but for the most part I think she's been taken care of remarkably well for a plushie I got when I was that young! I believe I got her when I went to Build-a-Bear for my birthday.

This is a picture from the day I found this adorable guy all by himself in a store, and I just had to take him home. So here I have Kicks all buckled up and ready for the ride home! In the time since then he's met a few more friends, who I intend to also share over time if some people find plushie posting fun!

Seeing people's plushies is something I'm missing a lot from Reddit, I hope to reignite that here if at all possible.
