OH THATS REALLY CUTE 😭 Looks delicious too... thank you Mait my friend Mait 🫶

I would share the Pukuten plushie saga, but it's your story to tell. Please share it to the class. 🎤

OH!!! I'd be honored to tell the Pukuten plushie saga 🫶

So basically a couple weeks ago, while scrolling Facebook, I came across an online shop that was selling plushies. I decided to look through their items out of curiosity, until I came across this specific listing:

I THOUGHT THE PLUSHIE ON THE LEFT LOOKED FAMILIAR, SO I ASKED REESE (AND ULAN) IF I THE PLUSHIE WAS PUKUTEN (A TAMAGOTCHI CHARACTER). IT TURNS OUT THAT IT ACTUALLY WAS.

I then messaged the seller to ask them if the item was still available, but they sadly told me that it was sold already 😭 I thanked them but I also asked them if they had any other Tamagotchi plushies available.

I think me telling them that I was looking for Tamagotchi plushies did something to them, because afterwards they asked me how much would I be willing to pay for Pukuten. Naturally I was confused because??? wasn't Pukuten sold already???

As it turned out, Pukuten hasn't been shipped out yet. Apparently he was placed in a bundle that was ordered by a PERYA (aka a FILIPINO CARNIVAL), and was being sold for like... Php 50 (which is less than a US Dollar). The seller had no idea that Pukuten was a Tamagotchi, and intended to turn them into a carnival prize 😭

The seller was kind enough to let us snag Pukuten last-minute, though (they were literally about to ship the bundle out that day!!!). I ended up ordering him and had him delivered to Reese 🫶

And that's the story of how we saved Pukuten from becoming a carnival prize 😭 So take good care of Pukuten, Reese 🫶

(Also the seller was so nice to talk to that I ended becoming a regular at their shop NJSKFDK I ordered another set of plushies and have another set on its way,)

#Mhizzy's Reply #antihibikase #another scary implication to this is that your fav plushie is probably somewhere out there as a carnival prize. (kidding)

hey this might sound weird but im currently writing a story that heavily involves talking about the experience of being aroace. i js wanna be as accurate and inclusive as possible so if you could share some thoughts or experiences you think should be included that would be literally incredible

thanks! <3

Hello! I appreciate that you're approaching actual aspec people for your story! That's already a good first step in making sure they're represented well 👍 But I would also like to preface that I'm just one of many aspec people, and just like any other person in the queer community, our experiences and opinions vary! So I recommend listening to other aspec voices aside from my own :)

That said though, I think a huge thing about the aspec experience is having to constantly face amatonormativity, which is the belief/assumption that EVERYBODY pursues romantic relationships, especially to get married in the end. In a world that constantly pushes you to have a romantic partner, otherwise you'll "end up sad and unfulfilled in life", it's annoying at best and isolating at worst for someone who just doesn't prioritize or want that, y'know? This is what I would consider a common challenge in being aspec.

(although, amatonormativity hurts EVERYONE, regardless if they're aspec or not. I suggest reading the article "Amatonormativity: The damaging pedestal of romantic love" for a basic understanding of that point. You can also look into Elizabeth Brake's 2011 book about it entitled "Minimizing Marriage: Marriage, Morality, and the Law", since she coined the term!)

To subvert that though, one thing that makes me happy about being aspec is the realization that I don't need romance or sexual relationships to be happy! Picture this: I'm surrounded by peers who sulk and pout that they don't have a romantic partner. I'm surrounded by peers who yearn for their crushes to like them back (even though they never interacted with them. whats wrong with you /lh). I have peers that sometimes even openly confess how sexually frustrated they are. But in my case, I'm already satisfied with the platonic relationships that I have; I don't want + need anything else. And I honestly feel empowered by that fact. ("hashtag unbothered" as they say.)

So, yeah! That's a gist of my personal experience as an aspec person. Again, I'm just one of many, so keep looking into other aroace experiences! But I'm sure you'll eventually find common themes to include in your story. Good luck!
