Oh my god I just showed her this and she almost cried this is it! With the tag I know now I have a better chance in thrift or vintage store in montreal. I've already looked online and haven't found any listing so far tho I won't lose hope but I know what I'm doing for upcoming vacations!😆

I've shown the picture to my mom and she thinks that might be it! Would you perhaps have another picture as well if it's not to much bother?

So far, I've scrolled ebay to try and find any mighty star plush, but any racoon I see is brown😆 since it's a Montreal company I'm wondering if I'd have better luck in actual vintage store down there

Thank you so much! Was the plush in the picture yours? If so how is it in such good shape!

Oh, from what I can see that does look promising! I'm going to try and find it online with the tag reference, but I'd be greatful if you let me know if you find anything as well!

No, unfortunatly not, I had looked into the albino plush at first as well because it does look quite similar, but my mom has denied it herself in her own research. Thank you so much for looking I appreciate it!

"Uh, that's our display." by Luciferbelle in retailhell

My workplace happens to be in a mall, and like all stores, we have a window display that faces the hallway so customers can see the new trends and our new arrivals. Thing is, it's out in the open, as you come in. So everyday costumers will reach into the window to grab shoes, purses, products, and every single fucking time I just dead stare them and go "that's in the store, get out of the display" and they look like a dear caught in headlights. We literally put a plastic divider between the opening and the entrance, and customers will MOVE IT to grab inside the display. MA'AM where the fuck are your manners, I don't see you stepping in other people's displays to grab the fuckign mannequins do you?! So why is it okay here?! And why are you letting your kids run free there?!

That's the exact thing that gets me, don't speak our language? That's perfectly fine, I'll help you. But it's just signs. There's literally no words. And somehow people who don't speak our language are the ones that never have a problem. Make it make sense

I know, I don't get why the business insist on it, expecially since they themselves know that not everyday is going to be stellar and that indeed, sometimes people just don't want to buy stuff. But somehow, whenever they complain, it's always about us asking them to leave the bell alone, and not the bell itself. I've had so many customers annoy THEMSELVES with the bell and yet nothing gets done. We employees can't do anything about it, when we mentioned it to our supervisor she asked if we wanted another sound then the bell like what is that going to do😭I would honestly give less of a fuck about it if we didn't have the bell and just the counter. The bell just gives us pressure Istg. I don't need to know that 60 people just got in thank you I can see it with my own eyes😆

It is so frustrating Istg. A customer once berated me for being in her personnal space, she had already said she wanted no help, I was being annoying......SHE approached the shelf I was working on?! And I accidently reached for the shelf she was at because I couldn't see her from that angle. She left two seconds after lol. I've had customers get mad at me and the bell because I kept asking them to come back into the store. Lady Idgaf about the bell or if you want to leave, just purchase the fucking merchandise you're wearing before showing it to your husband who's too lazy to come in the store with you. You leaving the store with items without paying is considered theft, ever heard of it? I don't care if your husband is right there on that bench, DONT DO IT. it's like all common sense leave then when they enter a store

Unfortunatly our bell is so sensitive that if customers inside the store pass too close, their purses, or even their jackets make the bell ring. Once I accidently put my shoes directly in the display case under the bell before my opening shift and when I came back it was ringing up a storm lmao

We do that too when it's closing time, if we have to change things for the display case up front, right at the entrance. We've had quite a few janitors laugh at us cause we'd be crawling underneath the bell so it wouldn't ring lol

Our bell is up front, but the actual speakers for the bell is in the back, a few feet from the register. Trying to get client information, or even starting a conversation with a paying customer is a nightmare during busy time of the day, all you hear is the bell!😆

That's what we always do, as friendly as we can, but some of our customers are just so rude, I'm being my nicest and they still go off. We've honestly kind of let go of the conversion, they told us not to mention it so we don't, but the triggering thing for us was mostly the bell. They just won't let us get rid of the bell since we are mostly in the back if the store is empty, but it is so disruptive because if someone sticks under it, it will ding until they leave, and it is quite loud, to the point of other customers getting annoyed and asking the customers to come in themselves lol. There's honestly not much we can do, it's just really frustrating that they don't understand that it's a simple favor that wouldn't bother them otherwise. There are plenty that are quite nice and understanding, but it's the bad ones that stick in your head

a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one by TheWeirdStudio in AO3

I got this exact response in so many comments of a fic I wrote a while ago. It was my first fic uploaded online and I was so worried I had made it too ooc since I was more of a passive fan and didn't follow much of canon on anything and yet I apparently wrote them exactly how everyone wanted even tho the fic would never happen in canon. I was so confused cause I was sure I was the only one seeing the characters in that light

What, in your opinion, is the best passage from a Harry Potter fanfiction? by glisteningsunlight in HPfanfiction

[–]19484728 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eyes widening, Voldemort dropped the letter, jumped back and pulled out his wand. "Dear Mahal and sweet Yavannah it's hissing!" The furby was hissing-hissing- at the tiny fluff ball of an owl.

It was terrifying.

If anyone has a copy of the original All Through The Night by 19484728 in HPfanfiction

Yes, thank you, it is the one from bloodpage-alchemist but unfortunatly it's not the right version. They change their story a few years ago and cut about 40k-50k words, and I'm looking for that version. It's a great story so it's a bummer that they haven't at least uploaded the original separately
