aww what was the stuffed animal??
yeah i feel like, if no one's getting hurt ppl should be able to enjoy what they enjoy
and agree that there's a cultural aspect too - when i was reading abt it i saw that 85% of adult women in japan have stuffed animals , seems v common and i'd assume not at all seen as weird or looked down upon

ooh ouji !! i was supposed to go to a con this year and i was wanting one the days to wear ouji!! since it was canceled i never got around to putting the outfit together / ordering clothes for it... but here are some screenshots of the pinterest board i had put together for it!




i love the idea of apocalyptic style!! i'm not too sure how i would describe mine ... i have a thing for long coats lol ... i had a black trench coat at one point that i really loved, it's in storage at my parents home though and i haven't had a chance to bring it w me yet

oohh are holidays a busy time for you or anything? does your store do anything cute/special for halloween? ^^
it's been colder and grey here too :0 i wonder how much of the grey is like blown over from the west coast fires .. ?

"his voice and face are like he’s constantly disappointed in you" loool that would totally stress me out!!
i really appreciate ppl who have warm personalities, it feels like a relief / weight off your shoulders to interact w them
i think now i'm a bit more jaded and sad lmao but when i was younger ppl told me i was really cheerful to be around, although i never thought anything of it at the time / took it for granted maybe? but now i feel like i understand and i really enjoy when other ppl are like that!

ooh nice!! i feel like having it in sig does help
i probably have items i don't really use, i think if i saw that someone Really Really wanted it i'd be willing to sell to them! even though otherwise i probably wouldn't list it in my exchange thread
esp now that i got to experience some of the events! i like that i can finally gift ppl event items, i've only been around for 5 months or so, so i usually don't have any extras of items that ppl are questing lol

i'm doing ok! my work has had performance review discussions this week and i was feeling a bit anxious abt it lol
i think i'm doing ok (good even??) at work which my manager has told me before but i still was kind of like wait really? maybe due to anxiety / imposter syndrome i feel like i'm always messing up lol even if/when i'm not

ooh are there particular clothes or styles you gravitate towards?? or a favorite outfit?
i used to be p into fashion but then went thru a basic all black phase for a while cuz i just didn't have energy to think abt it , but this year i've been getting back into wearing, not all black lol - i really like dark green!

ooh i hadn't heard of the term comfort object before, i can relate though i'm a little self conscious abt my stuffed animals and whenever i wanna get another one i'm like, is this ok >_> like is there such a thing as too old for them?
i looked it up tho and apparently 1/3 of adults sleep w a stuffed animal!! so that made me feel better
and they def bring me joy and comfort - so why not ! i def agree that if something makes you feel good i think it's worth it (maybe w/ some caveats but i think as a general sentiment i feel like that's true) like why wouldn't you surround yourself w stuff that makes you feel good?

blinkini:
@Totalanimefan: I'm currently working on a few orders and birthday presents for my boyfriend.
So I've made a bulbasaur, baby yoda, jigglypuff, gengar hat, meowth hat, three different unowns, a pokeball, and two pumpkins.
I'm working on a shark hat, two giant shark plushes, and a bouquet of hydrangeas that I'm going to be dying.
Honestly, I get overwhelmed with them. I'm currently trying to rewatch the entirety of SVU for the third time, but then all my youtubers come out with videos and I have to watch nothing but youtube for a whole day. :vanora_sweat:

hope it's ok to quote an older post but i'm so intrigued!! how did you make the gengar hat and shark plushes?? (all of ur crochet projects sound super cool, esp the hydrangeas!!)
i'm just learning how to crochet and i'm v curious, did you get the patterns from somewhere or are you coming up w them urself? :0 !!!

oh i'd say peanut butter (nut butters in general) can help too, as they are a source of protein
good for snacking (apple slices, carrots, etc.) and for sauces (e.g. on tofu, noodles)

hummus is helpful to keep around as well! (for sandwiches, snacking, etc.)

i'm not strict abt my diet but i do end up eating vegan unintentionally p often! a lot of what i cook tends to fall under general categories of like:

- tofu + noodles: will add peanut butter + soy sauce + bell pepper or any veggies would work (i.e. broccoli, snow peas, carrots, etc. fresh or frozen are fine!) - if you want a recipe i'd look up like "vegan pad thai" and go from there?
- black/pinto/red beans: black bean tacos (will add sweet potato and/or tomatoes on tortillas), or vegan chili ! chili + tortilla chips is soo good imo, you could probably make vegan nachos w a similar combo as well. can do bean burritos / burrito bowls w rice and salsa too !
- chickpeas: will season + add veggies and hot sauce over rice, or chickpea coconut curry over rice!
- lentil soup - will sometimes have w toast
- if you like korean food, sometimes i do tofu soondubu over rice (though you might need access to an asian foods store for this one)

i usually keep frozen edamame on hand and will microwave it w a splash of water (for steaming) + salt as a protein side dish! i tend to season my food generously as well
nutritional yeast can be a useful vegan ingredient to keep on hand, you can use it kind of like a cheese substitute (i.e. put it on potatoes/sweet potatoes, popcorn, loaded nachos, etc.)
i think u can get vegan protein powder too like for smoothies? i like to do peanut butter + banana + (optional) chocolate chips
generally speaking i would recommend making sure you have plenty of protein in whatever you're eating, that will help you stay feeling full!

nooo i don't wanna die by spider T_T
i wish i could leave them alone, i feel kind of bad killing them but what if they come for me in my sleep >_>

when i first joined i think i like felt bad or awkward abt using the charities? but now that i've been here for longer i'm like ahh new users should totally use the charities :0
like when you're first starting out it takes so long to get enough volts for the items you want!
i was so grateful for items ppl donated when i first joined, even the daily freebies were so exciting to get! i try to donate my daily freebies or event extras to newbies if remember to (and if others haven't beaten me to the punch yet lol)

oohh what kind of crafts competition shows?? i don't think i've seen those before :0
the closest thing i can think of is something like project runway lol which i guess might not really be crafts haha
true crime can def be interesting but sometimes i get a little down thinking abt why ppl would end up in a place where they do those things ._.

ah i think thrifting / secondhand stores are like a happy place for me lol

at one point i had been looking into dwarf citrus trees! they seem relatively apartment friendly as far as growing fruit inside a 1br goes lol
i might revisit again after this winter :-0 :-)
i think a tomato plant or something could be apartment-doable too?
