An objectum plushum flag! I had some fun with this, I couldn't quite get the fur to look how I wanted but it think it's okay.. I had a lot of ideas for the middle so the alts are under the cut, w/ bonus separated circles

WELCOME TO PLUSHIETOPIA!! an 18+ discord server for adults who seriously love their plushies ^_^ we are specifically centered around objectum romantic/sexual relationships with plushies, though we welcome anyone who has any kind of serious meaningful relationship with a plush :] rules are copied below, feel free to come hang out!

- 18+ only please! although most of our channels are sfw focused, this is still an adult space! (age regressors are welcome, we only ask that you be bodily 18 or over).

- all plushie lovers and admirers are welcome here! whether your relationship with your plushies is romantic, platonic, sexual, all three or any combo of, we only ask that you respect the different relationships of your fellow plushie lovers.

- zoophillia/pedophillia and positive discussion of these things is absolutely NOT tolerated here.

I've been taking a free course hosted by Harvard that discusses the practice of "close looking" in an artifactual sense. You pick an item of your choice to analyze (can be anything from a paperclip to your drapes) and observe it closely while documenting your findings throughout the lesson modules. Below is a list of prompts that were attached to the most recent assignment I've done that really resonated with me as an objectum person.

Categorize the observations you made about your object

Measure the dimensions of your object

Measure or count some of its other features

Engage your other senses; if appropriate, smell or taste your object

Close your eyes and explore your object through touch

Consider how you might recreate your object: sketch it, mold it in clay, photograph it a dozen times from various angles and with emphasis on its varying details

Make a list of questions generated by your examination of your object

Research your object and any questions it has generated using the internet or other means

Search for photographs, poems, or other works of art; proverbs; quotations; or other artifacts related to your object

Consider your object from the perspective of another person or of a discipline other than the one in which you are trained

Consider how your object or its use may have changed over time, or may change in the future

Consider whether or how the form and function of your object might be related

I received this message earlier on my public-facing Instagram account where I speak often about being objectumsexual and my object partner. I do outreach work and it’s a huge part of my online identity.

I looked through the profile for further context and it’s pretty obvious the show they’re casting for is something called Strange Addictions. These kinds of shows have routinely portrayed objectumsexuals in an unflattering light, and I have no doubt my relationship with a vehicle was a motivating factor as to why I was reached out to.

I can assume that they are probably trawling tags, so please be aware if you use them often. I’m not sure if it’s one person ( this was an individual ) or multiple people, and I do not know if anyone else has received similar messages.

I am censoring their name because I don’t want any sort of harassment towards them, I am just raising awareness that while these opportunities can seem very lucrative, I cannot, in good faith, recommend that any OS person take these kinds of offers.

Remember that when you consent to be on these shows, you give up your control of the narrative and they can edit you however they want. These shows are not made in good faith and will always treat being OS as a spectacle, and the hyper visibility this can bring to someone’s life is very usually negative.

I've been against the show for awhile now for how it frames OS relationships as "addictions" but also for the "addictions" that include eating inedible materials.

As someone with PICA, I've despised how the show frames others who compulsively eat non-food items as something to gawk at, meanwhile they do little to aid in preventing compulsive eating.

Here are just some examples of them putting objectums on display which usually ends in them being laughed at,

Even if it seems nobody else does, this lil racc will look out for you :)
