God I really wish carrying stuffed animals around with you was socially acceptable

[mitch-that-bitch]

I don’t mean to take over a post, but I actually did a project on this for my sociology of deviance class in college!

I carried a large stuffed rabbit whenever I went in public for about a week to observe the reaction of others. The point of the project was to do something harmless yet unusual to see if the action would be considered deviant, in which case someone had to try to correct or shame the behavior.

Long story short, nobody tried to correct my behavior. I was asked about it casually, had a few lingering stares thrown my way and when I was with my boyfriend, shop employees would direct questions to him instead of me. However, nobody refused to assist me when I was alone in a store, nobody said anything about the rabbit besides “oh, thats a cute bunny!” and I attended college classes without even a teacher questioning it.

In conclusion, it is socially acceptable to carry a stuffed animal, its just not a societal norm. ^^

DOING IT

[thebibliosphere]

My friend gave me a stuffed monkey plushy when I was struggling with uni, and I took him everywhere for like four years, usually velcrod to my backpack. No one said a damn thing, except my renaissance professor who saw it one day in the hallway and cracked the fuck up because I had a literal monkey on my back and he just looked at me like, “oh god, me too”. I used to leave him on desks during classes and exams (the monkey, not my prof). It was my reminder that someone cared if I was coping. But more than that it was soothing to have something to fidget with that wasn’t a pen. I used to ping those fucking things across the room I was so agitated. Harder to hurt people with a projectile stuffed monkey.

[kripke-is-my-king]

I got what I thought was a normal screen cleaning kit for my computer while I was in college. Much to my delight, instead of a little washcloth or whatever, the kit came with a tiny stuffed pig. 

So I carried this pig in my backpack all through college, periodically taking it out, spraying my screen, and using the pig to wipe it off. 

Now, I kept the pig in the side pocket of my bag where he was completely visible.

Then one day in screenwriting class I pulled him out to wipe my screen. 

One of the guys sitting next to me looked appalled. “You’re wiping it off with your little stuffed animal??” 

I explained what the pig was. 

Turns out, the guy had noticed it and just thought it was adorable I carried a stuffed animal with me every day. He’d never mentioned it before. 

Honestly, people do not care, and will not say anything. No matter the reason for your little stuffed animal friend. 

[marcys-underground]

And if you’re still really nervous about it keep a stuffed animal keychain on your bag. I have a cute little frog that stays on my backpack so when work gets stressful I can squeeze it.

For my anxious followers.

[destinyiartthou]

I love this so much. It reminds me that people can just be accepting, and if they aren’t - it’s by their choice. It isn’t a default.

[fangirltothefullest]

I’ve seen people in college wearing pjs and art students always carry weird atuff. I saw a person in a suit by the math building holding what looked like a keychain with three if those fuzzy ball things in different colours and no one said a word. Bring your plushies and friends with you! Heck, if you have an office job you can bring a friend with you and keep them on your desk and if you work gets you can find a friend on a keychain and keep them on your belt, no one will care and you’re little friend can help you feel better!

Don’t let society bully you into changing. Inagead, lets change society into being accepting.

[moxiethesimplenerd]

I remember that years ago I took a stuffed animal with me to get my hair cut (cuz the snippy scissors near my ear makes my anxiety go bonkers) and nobody questioned it or anything, so I’m quite certain you can take them anywhere for basically any reason

[infinitenoodledragon]

i didnt learn to drive until i had to teach myself when my mom was in the hospital and i needed to get to work. to help me calm my nerves, i took a small webkinz lion and stuffed him under my seatbelt in my lap so i could focus on him when i started to freak out. eventually as i learned and got better and more accustomed to driving, he migrated into my purse as a reminder and to always be on hand if i got overwhelmed.

[condradictonsandcliches]

I get really anxious during exams. I spend the time leading up to them doing self calming activities so I’m relaxed as possible before I start. One of them, and, admittedly, the hardest one to leave at home is my stuffies. One final was so bad that I took my pocket sized rabbit in with me but didn’t want to be accused of cheating so I showed the proctor who happened to be an attractive boy. Mortified, I braced myself for some teasing. All he did was check the tag to make sure I hadn’t written a crypt sheet and he asked what the stuffy’s name was. I take him into every exam now

Clip from the unfinished Samhain Special

So I'm working on a webseries featuring NightstalkerM -- this is a clip from the Samhain episode. I made the door / set myself! Unfortunately, a bad back put...

​So Mommy Wolfen wasn't able to finish the Samhain special for this year, but you can get an idea of what it would be like from this little clip. If you want to help financing the series, there are ways to do so listed in the video description. :)
