Ok heres the thing right . I do want to see the new toy story adn i will eventually (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MR PRICKLEPANTS IS IN IT AND HE HAD VOICELINES IN THE TRAILERS SO..!!!!!MY GOAT IS BACK) but this is unrelated to the new one. Its just. Like. With that one being out its got everyone thinking about and talking about Toy Story again so its got ME thinking about Toy Story again and. Like. Guys. I cant go back. I cant go back to Toy Story /silly
BECAUSE OKAY HERES THE THING
THERES SO MANY CHARACTERS THAT LIKE… ON A REWATCH I KNOW IM JUST GONNA GET ABSOLUTELY FLOORED. BOTH LIKE… CHILDHOOD CRUSHES THAT I JUST REPRESSED/FORGOT ABOUT/NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT AND ALSO NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT I KNOW ARE GONNA FRY ME IF I GO BACK AND ACTUALLY SEE THEM…
Im just gonna make a post about it so i dont forget anything .
Toy Story characters i had crushes on as a kid/young teen but just straight up never did anything about:
Slinky dog. Im pretty sure slinky was the first one i ever fell for / first one i remember having an attachment to. Esp when there was only the first three movies out.
Lotso… i was always fond of him even though he was evil. Ok actually i dont remember if iwas ALWAYS fond of him but at the VERY LEAST I always wanted to like.. help him out bc of his backstory.. and i remember going to the Disney Store when those were still a thing and seeing all the lotso plushies on display (i think that movie was fresh at the time so thats why) and i picked one up and smelled him to see if he actually smelled like strawberries (he did! Faintly but he did) and i considered getting it but i decided against it bc i didnt feel Attached Enough tm but . The consideration was there. So i think that counts for something.
Woody.. ive never really admitted it esp bc im not as like super fond of him as i am of some of the other characters but,, hes always been my fav of the main trio . (Woody Buzz Jesse) i still have a toy of him somewhere that i got actually fairly recently like uhh it was when Renfield came out so whenever that was. Hmm i wonder why i did that despite not having seen anything Toy Story related since the fourth movie. Let’s not worry about it.
Toy Story characters who I already selfship with:
Mr. Pricklepants!!!!!!!!<3<3<3 he wasn’t a childhood crush or anything, I re-discovered him just a few years ago and just. Became really really fond. He’s my fav in the franchise now
Duke Caboom :) yesss i must admit it i did enjoy Toy Story 4. And i will probably enjoy 5 hence why i wanna see it. I get why people don’t like 4 but Duke made that movie for me. I also have a toy of him somewhere
Now. Now HERES the. Here’s the kicker list. Oh boy. Lots to admit here.
Toy Story characters who will probably cook me on a franchise revisit:
Resigned sigh. The green army men………. I have grown really fond of them………………… Guh….
Probably even weirder of a choice but. Jingle joe hes one of Sid’s toys . I saw the lorcana card of him and i was like . I should call him. And then i saw someone else talking about him on twitter and i was like YES… so urm. Theres a chance of that.
Can i be honest and say theres a chance for buzz ? Ive always loved the like… Confident Sci-Fi Space Captain Leader Guy trope. Although unlike with some tropes, i havent fallen for every instance ive seen.. (or else something wouldve happened between me and Captain Kirk thats for sure.) but there Is A Chance so im writing it down here.
Umm who else. OH mr potato head has a chance and i have a little story with him but i wont share it here, at least not right know.. lets just say something happened to me late last year that made me endeared to him .
Oh. Fuckin umm. This is just a hunch but. That damn prospector.
I THINK that covers all my bases? I think so. Im endeared to ken too but i dont know if thats gonna go anywhere. Or else it would’ve gone somewhere after the Barbie movie i think… (i say, with a Barbie movie ken doll and also Ken’s hoodie… ahhahaha… let’s not worry about it.)
