Hi! Okay so I have a bunch of little pieces of advice for this and it entirely depends on the person so just pick and choose whichever works !

• First, start off with a plushie you know people will love! I got a LOT of positive attention when I was carrying around my Grogu (The Child/Baby yoda) build a bear plushie. People were also obsessed with KK slider and Isabelle (From animal crossing)

This definitely helps out when you first start carrying around stuffed animals, simply because you realize 1) people rarely—if ever—react negatively 2) not a lot of people notice 3) the ones who do usually love it

• Second, carry around a big bag you can hide your plushie in if you start feeling embarrassed! For awhile when I was carrying around Arturo I had a backpack that I could put him in completely in case I got nervous about having him out. Having the option to hide your plushie just in case relieves a LOT of nerves

• Third, start small! There’s tons of small plushies that are super unnoticeable even if you have them out with you the entire day. For awhile I carried around a beanie baby kitty! He was super easy for me to bring out and about and he was rarely noticed

• Last, if anyone asks, just say it’s for a school project! I rarely get judgemental questions but when I do I usually just say something along the lines of my BAB being part of a highschool/college school project. Strangers usually don’t inquire more and if they do it might be fun to come up with a little story (mine usually is that Im creating a scrap book of memorable moments involving childhood toys, usually for a psych or art class) and that gets them to lay off pretty quickly. But again, people rarely ask or care LMFAO and those who do are usually super nice about it!

Help me name these three Eevees please!! :)
