Anyone else notice that they changed the name of Fargo with Martin Freeman to cargo?
two separate things … Cargo is a movie
God I really wish carrying stuffed animals around with you was socially acceptable
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. ^^
#for followers with a big anxiety or self hate problem #bring a friend with you (via @kingdom-for-muses)
DOING IT
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.
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.
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.
Confirmed. I take my Venom tsum tsum to uni when I need a little mental boost. The little goo always brings me good luck and overall makes my day just a tiny bit better. I haven’t received a single comment about them so far.
Bring your stuffed buddies to class/work/whatever, guys. People don’t care.
I have a couple of Ikea sharks* and have had cause to periodically carry them around in public - one of which I bought with the last $15 I had at the time, after making a series of big life changes. “This is frivolous and I don’t have to care about that because I’m getting paid shortly—I’m going to do it!”
The reactions I get range from amusement through delight and “WHERE DID YOU GET THAT” but so far, never disapproval.
The moral of the story is Carry Your Emotional Support Plushie With Pride, You Deserve It.
*pictured: not my shark
true story: I once had an appallingly awful day at the hell job and it coincided with my giant squishy Baymax being delivered from China, and no lie I hugged on that Baymax to keep from crying until it was time to leave
I travel with DC (”Don’t Care”) the Emotional Support Honey Badger. I go through TSA with him attached to my backpack, I hug him when I sleep in transit, I prop him next to me in cafes in cities, towns, and rural areas. The only time anyone’s ever so much as raised an eyebrow at me was the TSA agent who recognized what he was, and asked it he could get his picture taken with him.
People don’t judge. Kids think you’re awesome. You get a companion who never judges you. It’s all win.
I know probably everyone has seen this post already, but its too good not to reblog.
Don’t be afraid to carry your comfort items around with you! :D I take some of my stuffed friends to work sometimes, and no one ever bats an eye at them!
*looks at my pink teddy bear I named Ruby* you’re coming to college with me and that’s not a choice
This post made me cry bcuz sometimes i feel bad for having stuffed animals/plushies
i needed this a lot
the boyfriend had to go to hospital two years ago, big heart surgery and he wanted something of mine so I gave him my stuffed Toothless which I’ve gotten from the BFF a while back. Toothless sat on his nightstand in three different hospitals, watching over him and nobody even batted an eye. some nurses asked about him, but that was all. He was there when he came out of surgery and has been HIS ever since. so yeah, carry your emotional support plushy with you. It helps YOU and that’s all that matters!!!
I take Tigz, the plushie Tiger I’ve had nearly forty years, with me on holiday because I can’t sleep without him. Every hotel I’ve stayed at I’ve come back to find room service have made the bed, changed the towels… And tucked Tigz up in the bed with his squashed little head on the pillow, or put him by the window so he can enjoy the view, or put in a comfy armchair with a book for company.
Seriously, if anyone takes offence to your plush, it’s their problem, not you. And IKEA sharks are AMAZING
I carry an emotional support chao plush with me everywhere, nobody cares
Last Christmas I threw my budget out the window purchased emotional support critters for everyone. My brother got a tabby, my niece a capybara, her kids got a Sabre-tooth tiger, a honey Badger, a raccoon, a wild African dog, and a llama. My other grand-niece got a unicorn. Seriously after the year we’d had they needed them!
I already had a Wolverine and a honey Badger Which I got at DragonCon.
Funny story: at 2019 DragonCon, author Peter David spotted my honey Badger, loved it, and handed me the money to go buy him one since he couldn’t leave his table.
For anyone who wants one go to Etsy and do a search. The seller is Sandra SanTara.
What if Shaak Ti, in stopping the Kaminoans from decommissioning clones, asks around if anybody has place and purpose for some non-combatant clones. And Jocasta Nu goes "A bunch of keen young men with eidetic memories? Don't mind if I do" and that is how the Jedi temple library has the most amazing librarians in the galaxy
Okay but -
Domino fails their final test, but Shaak manages to stop them from being decommissioned or sent to work sanitation by roping Jocasta into snatching them up for that reason. All the members of Domino kind of collectively groan and complain but ship out anyway, and they’re pretty sure it’s all going to be this terrible, boring slog through ancient books with some stuffy librarian Jedi -
Right up until Jocasta gets word of a cache of Jedi holocrons on a frontline planet, packs up her five new assistants and her lightsaber, and leads them on the most greuling, dangerous, ridiculous mission through active battlefields and Separatist camps that absolutely no one believes happened when they tell their vode later. Which is absolutely fine, because Domino now knows they have the most badass general in the whole galaxy, bar none.
Listen, I read that Darth Vader comic, this is ABSOLUTELY the kind of thing Jocasta Nu would get up to.
THIS JEDI LIBRARIAN MAY HAVE DEVOTED HERSELF TO BOOKS BUT SHE KNEW HOW TO HANDLE HERSELF WHEN SOME SHIT WENT DOWN. Best of all, even in the face of danger, Jocasta Nu had her shit together. Even when faced with the desecration of her beloved home and her beloved books and her beloved Archive, she still managed to have her shit together and she deleted it, rather than let it fall into a monster’s hands. The thing she spent her life protecting and tending to, that’s the thing she destroyed rather than let it be used for evil. And when further faced with the boy they had adopted, who had murdered his brothers and sisters, including the tiny ones, she pointedly asked him what he wanted, because she could see he had no idea. Jocasta Nu went to her death with dignity and peace, even after all of the badassery she was capable of.
Jocasta Nu would have been an incredible general for the clones. They would have been lucky to have her and she would have been lucky to have them and I will not be satisfied with fandom until I get at least a 50k+ fic about this on my desk!
i love this so much. and now i've got ideasi want that 50k fanfic to include this:
the battalion that's assigned to her is absolutely flabbergasted that she's practically ancient. she hobbles around on a walking stick and carries little butterscotch candies in her bag and hands them out at random. she's always saying things like "speak up, sonny, these ears aren't what they used to be!" and tells long winded stories that begin with "back in my day-"
and the clones come to one simple conclusion: they're all going to die
but then, in the middle of their first battle together, the jedi they've secretly started calling 'granny' behind her back freaking LAUNCHES HERSELF INTO THE CHAOS AND DESTROYS AN ENTIRE ARMY OF DROIDS SINGLE HANDEDLY
like i'm talking backflips, force explosions, the works. and her battalion is so shocked they can't move an inch while this lady wreaks havoc like some harbinger of doom
and none of their brothers from other batallions believe a word they say. anyway, she lets them call her grandma and spoils them all to no end and they eventually start looking forward to her long stories and weird candies

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!
Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.
iM rEbLoGgInG aGaIn BeCaUsE iT wOrKeD lAsT tImE
Lol I usually hate reblog bait, but i just like the fortune cookie 😆
//everybody in the tag be like: wtf did he say????
and i went into this transcription kinda scared, bc i know mark is v smart and he can talk up a storm on topics. he was asked about his internet connection at one of the m&g’s i was at and he rambled for at least 20min on broadband internet, glass fiber and the evolution of technology.
so like, i came into this prepared aaand i was disappointed haha. maybe it’s 15y of heavily obsessing over his interviews, panels and cons but like… i get what he’s saying? i appreciate it so hard. he is such a smart man, so kind, so lovely. he is the only actor of spn who p much always takes the time at cons to express his love for the fans and for coming all the way to cons to see him and listen to him. i’ve been at so many cons and nobody else took more time than a thanks.
anyway. believe it or not, he knows what he’s talking about and i likey. i don’t likey that compared to the other cameos (tyyyyy) he didn’t tell us what we wanted to know lol. but it’s also very much him. he teases like it’s air, so i probs shouldn’t have hoped for confirmation lol.
Mark is a certified tech for Mac computers and used to (maybe still does) service computers for those in the movie industry because they trust him not to talk about what he may see.
Kicking Off 2021
Happy New Year, y’all. Let’s hope it’s less of a dumpster fire.
I know I usually do a whole Art Goals post thing but I do not even have anything this year. I made it through 2020 while still being creative and that’s all that matters.
Okay, more seriously, I have really become more confident of a writer. Thank you for all your kind words, because they mean a lot when I’ve previously been way too shy and insecure to really share what I write even though I’ve been crafting stories since before I could even hold a pencil. I’ve absolutely loved writing for The Mandalorian and its characters and I certainly want to continue. The big ones are ACCPOV of course, Hunter and the Hunted, and I’d like to go back to writing more for the 101 Yoditos AU.
I spent most of New Year’s Eve starting to transfer all the 101 Yoditos AU content to AO3 (and oh wow there is so much of it, I made it to page 7 out of 36). It’s all collected in a 101 Yoditos AU series. Most art (except the first few that started the AU) is collected in one work, all those asks and such in another, and the actual ficlets will be their own works. So if you ever want to see it all in one place, it’s there. It’s been really fun to go back and see all the old posts and ideas! Maybe eventually I will even go back and work on the actual fic some more, but no promises, unfortunately free time is limited for me and I already have two big fics on my plate.
For drawing my only goals are really Continue and Pace Myself so the tendonitis doesn’t flare up. I’m in a slump right now again but it’ll pass, it always does. Facial Features remain a mystery to me no matter how many references I try to use, but I’ll keep at it.
I hope everyone else has a happy, safe, and creative new year and I wish you all the best!
Will there be an Ika’Ika section?
I love when kittens really start noticing things for the first time
"Up" is her new favorite concept
Like comedian George Carlin said, cats always look like they’re trying a new pair of eyeballs.
me, over a week ago: wow that was rough but hey, at least writer’s block won’t be a problem!
rl: lol you think you’re going to have the time to write, that’s cute
Too true ...
cutthroat kitchen and mutazione. oh boy
Breath of the Wild and Great British Bake Off
Honestly Link was already half way there, this seems like the logical next step.
Julie and the Phantoms and Pokemon, and honestly I’m okay with this world.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and World of Warcraft.
Sounds good to me!
The Mandalorian Mousehunt, lololol. I’d play it!
Supernatural Animal Crossing is gonna be LIT
Victorian Farm: Final Fantasy XIV edition. You tend a sweet farm and kill monsters to defend it. I’d play.
Supernatural and Assassin’s Creed Unity. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING STABBED.
Supernatural and Graveyard Keeper. Sounds about right.
Mystic Messenger and The Untamed… almost kinda works?
The bachelor and animal crossing 🤔
Inuyasha and Genshin Impact
Ghost adventures artifacts and Call of Duty WWII - ironically the game mode i played was prop hunt
Museum Secrets and Fallout 4
I read that you like 'everyone lives' AUs. Have you ever read Whiteraven1606's Threes at AO3? It's the last story where, seriously, EVERYONE LIVES (except, kind of, Han? But he sort of does?). While you can just read the last story for The Mandalorian parts you really should read it all to understand everything.
I haven’t but I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for the rec!
Now I have the urge to reread this again. Here’s the direct link. https://archiveofourown.org/series/385267
I had .. maybe still have ... that book

DOING IT
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
Friend of mine carries a stuffed Pikachu everywhere and at this point if I see him without Ellie I get both worried about him and upset that I can’t pet my other friend, the stuffed lightning rat.
Your plushies are honestly fine.
Decided to post this here, for syskids and other anxious peeps.
I would get anxious during classes, so I took a little frog with me. I don’t think anyone said anything about him
When i went to disney for the first time ever with some college friends, the environment was super overwhelming with the crowds and lights and sounds, so i bought one of those decent sized Oswald Rabbit stuffed animals and carried it around almost the whole trip, alternating between hugging him or holding his hand as we all traipsed around the park. Legit no one gave me any weird looks or trouble about it. He’s still one of my fave comfort items :-)
A friend sells emotional support stuffed animals of all varieties. I have 2: a wolverine and a honey badger and I’ll carry one clipped to my backpack. They have vests with clips. I’m planning one getting one for each of my great nieces and nephews for Chrismas.
Comixology is having a sale you can get every issue of Black Panther (including the current run) for free. Great reading for $0.00
I can see where I can borrow them but not get for free
Ika’ika, now in color!
Awwwwww
