hello! this is a dedicated space for plushies/teddies. you can introduce yourself in this thread by stating how many plushies/teddies that you have and if youd like to upload any pictures. here's my introduction:
how many plushies/teddies i have: a few, but ive got my first fumo and my first jellycat on the way and im excited for that
favourite plushie/teddy: the one that i hug with when i go to sleep every night. he's a white teddy bear with a scarf and one eye. i secretly call him the one-eyed bandit
any pictures?: N/A, although i plan to possibly upload pictures in the future. possibly.

    Ooh I like the idea of this thread.
    Introduction
    How many - at one point too many to count, now only like 20-30 maybe 🤔 going to treat myself to a few other this coming month
    Favourite - my sheep (sheepy) that is likely an emotional comfort for me or my brown teddy that ive had since I was born
    Any pictures - not yet but I will find some or take so of them

    I have a story about my sheep too from when I was little

    So heres my favourite ones that I have - they hold alot of emotional values to me
    The first is my brown bear that ive had since I was about baby (they day I was born)

    The next is my sheep - Sheepy (classic child name for it 🤣)
    This one I'm not sure how long I've had him for but he's definatly seen better days. Earliest I remember having him was about 3 and I beleiev my parents got him for me to help the transition to preschool where they weren't going to be there anymore (my mum use to volunteer and help out). He is my emotional support Sheep when things are bad or when I need a bit more to almost ground me.

    Now a story that involves the sheep.
    When I was 5 I broke my ankle in school jumping off a slide. Obviously the school phoned my parents to take me to the hospital, when we got there had an x-ray and it showed i broke it on my growthplate. Naturally they said i need a cast - to which i refused and went home without one.
    At home i pretend I was okay and could "walk" so I didnt need anyone cast. However the next day my parents tool me back to the hospital but this time with my sheep for support. What a difference that made i allowed them to put a cast on and maneuver my leg for x-rays, the person doing the cast tried giving my sheep a cast too - much to my disgust about it.
    But yeah that's a fond memory I have of my childhood with my sheep and is the first thing that pops in my head when asked about my childhood

    they both look so nice. and that story must be memorable for you too.

    @Lottie5433 yeah i agree, it is a unique name. and it was exciting opening up the bag and seeing her for the first time in real life.

    So for my plushies, how many I got? Well I probably got an entire city/army of them living in the room. Yep you heard that correctly, an whole army of plushies. Some are even crocheted and made by myself too :joy:. I do love collecting beanie babies, however if I had to choose a favourite well probably all of them because they are all unique and speak to me in different ways. I tend to collect a lot of the old beanie babies and they are so cute. My profile picture funny enough is actually of Ferris my fuggler who I dearly love. There's also my build a bear rainbow bear I named Cherry which I got when I was younger <3.

    How many: 10-15 at most.

    Favourite: not necessarily a plush, but a worn out small pillow I've had since I was a baby.

    I have three teddy bears, a hello kitty plush, a little crochet chicken that I was gifted and a little plush of a video game character.

    thats so cool @Amy22 @PunchThe_Internet i love both of your collections.

    ive been thinking about getting a squishmallow and a plushie dreadful, especially the plushie dreadfuls because i need to get a cerebral palsy one. however if i buy the squishmallow it will probably be laying around in my bed doing nothing since its like a pillow. if you dont know what dreadful plushies are basically they have plushies for every health condition, physical and mental along with LGBTQ+ plushies and even zodiac plushies. i signed myself up for the cerebral palsy one because they havent made it yet but they will eventually because they need enough people to be interested in it. and yes i could get a plushie dreadful for my mental health conditions but i havent been given proper official documents for my diagnoses. they kind of just gave me a leaflet and medication for psychosis and medication for depression and thats it.

    @toffuna101 the plushie dreadfuls are so worth it, I bought my 5th one lmao gonna have my whole diagnoses collection
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.
