This but replace "stuffed animals" with "your friends." Nothing like someone coming along thinking they can somehow be the one to "fix" or "save" the homie and ends up separating them from longtime friends (and then they're still not happy and now we're all a little more lonely)

I would never hide my stuffed animals. I have exactly one, and it's a hedgehog I keep on my bookshelf. Not a Sonic-style hedgehog, a British hedgehog.

I will be keeping that hedgehog until I or someone in my family has kids, at which point I will pass it down to them.

How can you tell it's British?

It has a massive hoard of stuff its grandparents stole from all the other stuffed animals.

I have a small figurine of an Irishman and I'm fairly sure the hedgehog is bullying it.

Fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You can tell because of the way it is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably because it stole spices and land

62 year old guy.

I was given a bear when I was born. His name is Growl. I have never once been ashamed of him or hidden him away.

Much more recently (last 10 or 15 years) I was gifted a Build-a-bear Chewbacca. I will never hide him away either.

I love this!

I have a handful of stuffed animals, but my most prized ones are Teddy the bear that my pop-pop gave me at the hospital when I was born and a cat that my grandmother hand stitched, she made one for each of her grandchildren and mine is one of few that are still around. I’m 41 and I have also never been ashamed 😊

Word! I'm a nearly 40 guy.

I got a blue bear when I was born. It is called bear. It has a few stitches, and a hole in it's ear. I also have a blue mouse called Mouse.

They've been sitting on the shelves in the kids rooms for many years now.

Does this apply to my Funko Rogues Gallery?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eeeehhhh, I'd silently judge anyone with a Funko collection. 2 or 3 would still be fine

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But it's a fucking awesome collection of various villains. I got a Mirror Spock between 10" Skeletor and Storm Trooper enforcers, yo. And a MF Dalek up front, who will exterminate any punk asses.

My fiance's plushie inventory has increased since we met. It's kinda a problem but whatcha gonna do.

I seldom get emotional when watching the news, but when I see a child hugging a stuffed animal in a warzone, or when you see a dirty stuffed animal in on the ground after an attack, that really stings.

Stuffed animals are symbols of innocence, love and security.

I am a 37 year old man, I have my childhood stuffed animals on a chest of drawers next to my bed, and my stuffed toad I got from my mom and have had my entire life is in the top 5 items I would try to save from a fire.

my blahaj is called bloop and he is soft and he loves hugs ❤️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I have two blåhaj - one in my bed for snuggles, who is well loved and well worn, and one hanging out on the back of my sofa for "Sunday Best" 😆

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm currently sat beside my wife who is half asleep hugging one of our blahaj. She sleeps with one every night.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

i have 5 in my bed usually :3

Both my wife's and my stuffed teddies have now been retired. They now sit, cuddled together, overlooking the bedroom. On a shelf, in pride of place. Their tour of service done, but not forgotten.

overlooking the bedroom

Front row seats then

Had a giant stuffed ladybug nearly all my life. Somehow abandoned it and just recently, after a few years, discovered that I now need a pillow to hug at night. Miss you, giant ladybug :(

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)
