I am so sorry but now I feel compelled to infodump to you about some of my favourite plushies akskkdkdkfkt, enjoy the rant (these are in no particular order)
I absolutely LOVED fennec foxes when I was in primary school. I went to a religious school and every morning when we did prayers, I prayed for the fennec foxes 😅
Anyway, my childhood best friend and I both have one of these and I love Caitlyn so much!! She's also named after my sister who unfortunately died when she was only a few days old, so this stuffed toy has even more significance to me.
Snorlax is my go to for cuddles, especially when my chronic pain or fatigue is really bad. He's really good to cuddle with and squeeze, I absolutely love the sensoryness of squishmallows!! (I'm not sure what size he exactly is but he's one of the bigger ones but not the biggest)
I got Storm for my birthday when I was nine because I was obsessed with Huskies and really wanted one (I no longer really want one, a labrador is enough energy for me lol). I also used to take him around with me a lot while I was waiting to get my assistance dog!!
Lemonade (Webkinz Alley Cat)
Lemonade has LORE. She's a really famous movie star who used to be really self-centred but ended up learning to care about others. I used to put her in all the silly iMovies I would make as a kid. I also did have her in Webkinz and I am SO mad I don't remember the account login anymore, I had SO much stuff!! Also the Webkinz song for the alley cat when it was pet of the month is an absolute BANGER.
Joanne the Axolotl (Build-A-Bear)
I got Jo recently after I convinced myself I wasn't too old for Build-A-Bear haha!! I named her after Jo Davidson from Line of Duty, my current fictional wife, and was so happy when I saw the pride shirt because Jo Davidson is canonically a lesbian!! She is now the chosen one who comes with me on trips!!
Lamby is my childhood teddy and he still sleeps with me all these years later. I got him when I was nine months old from my grandma at Easter cause I wasn't old enough for chocolate. Funnily enough, he was actually from Woolworths (a popular supermarket in Australia), so thank you Woolworths 🫡
He used to have a bowtie which has just ✨ evaporated ✨ and a lot of his stuffing has magically disappeared too but I still love him with my whole heart!!
sorry it took me so long to answer this but NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR INFODUMPING !!!!!!!!!! omg i LOVE ALL OF THEM SO MUCH
I love how they have that beautiful scrungly 'well loved' look to them - that is how my 24 year old teddy bear that I sleep with every single night looks. also THE WEBKINZ !!!!!!!!!!!! I only have one remaining Wenkinz from my childhood - it's a Llama, and I SO BADLY want to get a green had made for him so that he can be a Llama with Hats character, because that meme still fucking matters to me for some dumb reason
I love all these so much. I loved having them visit my inbox. I also love the BaB so much omg <33333 I LOVE THEM
