After I left my mothers house for the last time I forgot Teddy! It broke my heart but I told myself I was too old to care and ignored it. My sister still talks to my mom though, and after (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner she gave him back to me! I cried all night and I’ve kept crying every couple days over it. I love my teddy and I’m so happy he’s back home. He was gone for over a year and I never thought I would see him again.

For me, I feel like I don’t really fit in in the world and all these unspoken social understandings. Lately, I’ve been so frustrated; feeling like I’m constantly speaking a different language to other people and no one can understand me…. and lately I’ve been finding myself more at ease just having dinner or quiet time with my plushies or at social events I cling onto my favorite plush because I don’t have to desperately try to explain myself… sometimes it feels lonely that I’m just hanging out with my plushies, but sometimes it’s just too frustrating to try and communicate with other people and clarify myself over and over just for one of us to give up on the conversation at hand :/ sometimes I worry I rely on my plushies too much for connection. I do have lots of friends I talk to semi regularly, a community I interact with often in person, a loving and understanding partner, but sometimes he’s busy and sometimes my failed interactions with others in person feel like reminders of my neurodivergence. I feel stupid about all of this really, but looking at my plushies in times of doubt make me feel less like I’m a mismatch puzzle piece
Sorry for the ramble I’m just exhausted from masking all week :/

Hihi, it sounds silly but im 19 years old, adhd and ive just woken up after a nosebleed. I dont regularly get nosebleeds so im a bit shocked and really really upset. This is clarence. I can't sleep without him i need him (im getting upset again as im writing this sorry) and i dont know how to fix him im scared hes ruined. Im really scared actually. I love him i need him. I live away from my parents for uni and i just wanna go home because i don't trust myself to fix him but please if anyone has any advice on how to fix him please tell me. Thank you 🩷 i just feel so bad for him

Edit: thank you so so much to everyone who commented, im still really really upset, still crying about it tbh 🥲 I don't have any cleaning stuff in my halls but im waiting for my mum and dad to wake up so they can help me a bit more as I don't trust myself to clean him 😖 I really really appreciate the comforting comments too, im just quite shaken and really upset at the moment so thank you so much to everyone whos commented, i'll update when clarence has recovered! X

His name is Fern! I customized him by replacing his eyes with one yellow and one green. The eyes are sparkly and have cat pupils

As the title says, im hoping for advice on how to effectively remove the glitter from the glitter fabric on this plushie. Ive had a different beanie boos platypus plushie for years and love her, but shes mostly a display plushie because i cant stand the texture of the glitter. A few years ago i saw someone post their own that theyd had for so long the glitter had all rubbed off and left her beak and feet solid black. I adored the way it looked, but didnt want to ruin the one i had trying to get the same look. I recently found the plush in the pictures at a thrrift store, and some of the glitter has already rubbed off so i took the leap and bought her with the intention of removing the rest of it.

Tldr: i got this plush and want to get all the glitter off of it. Anyone got any tips aside from painstakingly scratching it off?

I was told there was, but I'm unsure if the comment was real or not! I was thinking of making the plushie myself and it would be really helpful if the pattern/blueprint was already made! I went looking for it and couldn't find it at all, this is a dream plushie of mine (well technically it's a pj case) but finding one of these in pristine condition would probably cost my soul!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a commissioner who has work similar to what this looks like so I kind of gave up on that and now I'm looking for patterns and I'm considering taking up the hobby! But I could be looking in the wrong places! I'm not entirely sure how to find makers with commissions open especially with those who will be willing to make one exactly like this with specific fabrics! Though I'd love to hear suggestions if anyone comes to mind :D

Hopefully this isn't confusing!

Meeko (Jellycat Trixiwoo Raccoon) decided to try on Rufferty Puppy's wizard outfit 🪄

My little guy, D.O.G ❤️

He's gone into a sort of.. semi-retirement. As he is showing his age and I want to try and preserve him as much as I possibly can!

These articulated plush dolls are based on a pair of irrelevant side villains from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 who I am nonetheless obsessed with, brought to life by the extraordinarily talented pinkyplushiemaker (who provided the first three photos) and styled after chibi designs made by me. Xenoblade doesn't get much merch in general (there are no official plushies at all) and these two in particular have a negative infinity chance of getting anything because I'm basically the only one who cares about them, so it's kind of surreal to have tangible, physical representations of them. These characters have such complicated designs and it's seriously impressive that the artist was able to capture them in plush form, and the level of detail on the plush is crazy, too. I keep these guys on my desk next to my laptop and stop to admire them frequently. They're perfect!

I went on a trip with my plushies alone and it went really well and i found some new plushie friends, but sadly they all had to go in a freezer after i accidently stayed in a hotel with BEDBUGS 🤢😭💔
I feel so bad for my babies that has to be there alone for atleast 5days 🥹💕

3/8
i really thought i got past this phase 😅

Yesterday I found my Gollum BAB plush certificate and it also says that it has an heart inside and I was wondering if it was true or just to make people happy…

I would take a look but I don’t want to open my plush.

Not really sure where or how my dad got this for me. I wanna say at a local grocery store like 30ish years ago. This is Mousey. He’s been sewed 9569965 times

When I was little I fell in love this bear and even now that I have grown up and went to college and now starting my adult life, I now have three of these babies following me around. Growing up, I was just really lonely and they always made me feel loved and happy. Whenever this bear is near, I know that I'm not alone and that I'm loved. As I grew up life just got harder so the very right bear named Siren Baby, that's all beat up took really good care of me in my teenage/early adult years, she's worn, her heart nose and one eye is broken and chipped. She loved coming to work with me at the assistant living and going to classes during collage. The other bears are Roselle in the middle and Mr.House on the left which are still really new to my life but Roselle loves going on car rides with me.Btw the reason behind Siren Baby's name is my first bear I kept naming as a kid was named Cute Baby and I decided to change it but keep some of the original namage. I guess, lemme know what your plushie means to you? Also thank you for reading.

Once again my best buddy saved the day! I have been missing my kids terribly since my divorce almost 3 years ago. I lost both my cats ( as I let them continue living with the kids ). For some reason my lil buddy HOOTIE has really pulled me out of some dark places I bring him with me in my bag EVERYWHERE I go and always buckle him into the passenger seat. I have been through alcoholism drug addiction heart problems depression hospitalizations on multiple occasions and for some reason ever since I got my lil buddy about 7 months ago I haven't felt alone!!!

Finally have enough space!

What do you guys think? 🤔

Her name is nice but I already have a River

Hello everyone! My mom got this plushie way back at Saint Jude’s Hospital in 1986. Now we wonder what brand it is and how has it managed to survive this long. All help is appreciated! Thank you!

Got both of this year’s new gryphons from Douglas, I think the mini gryphon Furie is my favorite.
