beanz

So! Welcome to my beanie baby blog :D you might have some questions about it, such as what kinds of requests you can make, what my tag organizing system is like, and who I want to let interact with the blog. Let's run through a few things

Who are you?

I'm Mona! I'm 20 (almost 21), and I use she/they or reflexive pronouns! Reflexive just means that you'd use the pronouns you use for yourself on me! So if you go by he/they/xe, you would use he/they/xe for me! She/they is just a good back up in case you still aren't sure

What's with the beanz?

I'm autistic, and have a special interest in beanie babies! They're calming and soft, and have just enough to know about them that I can focus on researching them for as long as my attention can hold them! I'm honestly not a big fan of beanie boos or beanies past 2009, but I won't scoff requests for them

How many beanies do you own?

Currently around 80 of them! I might go through and make a list, but I keep them on a cool cubicle shelf :3

What's your favorite beanie baby?

Mystic the unicorn! I used to own the original size and the large size, and for years had no idea the large size was a beanie baby!! They're just very good and I like them. The top of my wishlist are the dragons Scorch and Magic, as well as the original 9

So what's your DNI look like?

So, a good rule of thumb is that I don't want n.s.f.w/non kid friendly blogs interacting (that doesn't mean you can't *follow*, I just dont want those gross k!nk rps in the notes). But if you want something more specific...

-this blog is trans friendly, absolutely no terfs, transphobes, or transmeds (you will get blocked, and asks and messages will be reported as spam)

-racism/xenophobia will not be tolerated at all. You will get blocked immediately

-lgbt+ friendly! Acearos are valid, pan is not biphobic, keep exclusion out (if you send asks or messages "debating" me about it, they're getting marked as spam and deleted)

-this blog is age/pet regressor/syskid friendly!! Beanie babies are small stuffed animals *for babies*, and that includes people in that space

-that also means DID/OSDD systems are welcome as well! Please dont ask me about traumagenic/endogenic systems, I really don't need to know someones history to know if they're "allowed" and asking about whether or not someone is traumatized/traumatized "enough" rubs me the wrong way

-Cluster B personality disorders are okay and i shouldn't have to explain that, but I know people get weird about it so I'm putting my stance right here for you

Okay, got it! So what can I request then?

Good question!!

Here's a post in which I'll keep my request status and list up to date!

Waaa !! This blog got left a little abandoned for the last year because i couldnt figure out how scheduling worked and some of my favorite info sites went down for a month or two nwn; my bad! Thank you for this ask !!

How could i talk about orca beanie babies without bringing up Splash the Whale?

This beanie is one of the original 9, a palette swap of Flash the Dolphin :3 In Flash's poem, it references that Flash taught Splash to read! Very cute <3

Among other orca beanies is Waves, seen in the top left on his back! Theres also the seaworld exclusives Fin (top right), Striker (below Fin), and Jonah (bottom left) <3 and of course, a lesser known beanie, Anchor (bottom right)!

The seaworld exclusives boasted a fancy fluffy textured fur and tags that contained whale facts instead of poems :3 Its actually surprisingly hard to find any info on Striker and Jonah, since they're seaworld releases from 2009 and 2002 respectively, while Fin is from the 2011 release! Each of them came in a set of other seaworld-themed beanies as part of their promotional collection to sponsor marine conservation efforts!

I actually can't seem to find what their facts were except for Fins, which is "Fun Fact: The top predator of the sea, and the largest member of the dolphin family, the orca lives in pods with 5 to 30 members"

Waves however is part of a series of beanies of a very specific "sitting position" which I own quite a few of!
