Plushes

[lupestripe]

Just out of interest, how many plushes do you own and what animals do you have?

I have always been interested in plushes, ever since I was a kid, but unfortunately my parents banned me from buying any more as they feared I would drown amidst a sea of plushes. They even confiscated some of them too and stuck them in the attic.

But now I am an adult, I am free to buy what the hell I want and this includes furry friends!!

I have a giant lion called Leo that an ex bought for me, a giant easter bunny, Bukkake the Bear from a charity shop (£4 for a 3ft bear, bargain!!) and a vast array of wolves, foxes and dogs. Of course, being a husky myself I have a natural fondness towards canids as they are just so darn cute!! Sadly I have yet to find any with pink stripes. Shame, they're missing a market there :P

Also, does anyone else get plush sympathy? That is, an overwhelming rush of emotion when you see a particular plush? Sometimes I go into a shop, spy a plush and just have to buy it because of the cute face or how it looks. I have also been known to buy two of the same plush because I liked the look of both of them and feel that if I put one back on the shelf, he will feel sad because I rejected him. I know it's silly but does anyone else experience this? Or am I just a nutjob?

Anyways, I currently have about 20 plushes. How many do you have and what's your animal(s) of choice?

I know where I could get a green husky plush made very easily, hmm, may look into that, it would be cute. My parents thought there was something wrong with me too but they tolerated it thankfully. They still think it's odd that I dress as a giant plush at weekends though but meh. What would your family do if you came home with a plush? That sounds really harsh...

thats nice :3
i dunno what they would do, but they will see it once i get the suit they will say wtf... and other things but i wont change my mind :) im happy this way, and proud to be like this too

It's always good to be doing the things that make you happy and if you can find some pride along the way, even better. I am proud to be a Furry too (amongst other things) and I am glad you feel that way about the Fandom yourself. What is the general reaction going to be to your fursuit though? Are they going to be weird about it?

[daisuke-miles.livejournal.com]

:D
I dunno what will be the reaction but yes they are going to btch up and tell me wtf, and why i need this also how much that thing was, i will be needing to say it was a gift or 200euros or something.. cuz if i say more than 1000 then they eat me alive :P

That sounds harsh hun, my dad was cool with my fursuit when I got it but I guess some people are more tolerant than others. Saying it's a gift may work but I don't see why you have to lie, just tell them the truth. It's your money after all.

[daisuke-miles.livejournal.com]

cant tell the truth, i know them well... i need to lie

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It's a shame that you have to lie to your folks hun. If they don't like the truth then that's their problem. What's the worst that could happen?

[daisuke-miles.livejournal.com]

kicked out of home, suit destroyed... i dunno, but i dont want to try it out by saying the truth, not worth it rly, if they find out then i wont lie

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Would that really happen though hun? Sounds tremendously harsh...

[daisuke-miles.livejournal.com]

i dunno, but i cant say i spent around 1600euros in a suit, they will freak out saying i should be get other things... so its no much for a lie if i just say its a gift or was around 200euros...

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It is a lie but I understand the situation exactly as I had a similar problem with my parents too. Still, you just have to stand your ground and say it's your money. If that's the case, then they can't really complain.

[daisuke-miles.livejournal.com]

they will, since im living under their roof... i understand but i really cant do other way, i know them enough

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

There is the school of thought that says as long as you are living under the same roof as your parents, you have to subscribe to their whims, even if you are staying there under your own finances. That was the reason why I moved out in the end but my father was still pro-fursuits. Indeed, he still washes mine for me. When are you getting your suit by the way?

Also, I agree, sometimes to prevent arguments, lying is the best way...

[daisuke-miles.livejournal.com]
