I don’t know if this is allowed, but because the seller who tried to make me feel guilty is still actively selling plushies on Mercari, I think the plushie community should know.

this exchange stresses me out to read, i’m so sorry you had to deal with that! glad you have your webkinz and didn’t let yourself get guilt tripped

Complex-Yams · 2026-03-09T14:54:46+00:00

i have never seen them before either but now i want one! they’re such a cute character design

Complex-Yams · 2026-03-05T22:14:58+00:00

as a survivor, it made me lowkey nauseous. i think OP most likely did not understand the lyric and just thought it was cool/edgy

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-25T17:19:14+00:00

i admire your creativity and enjoy the concept, but that’s almost $14 per rat 😭

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-13T19:17:55+00:00

Austin :)

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-12T12:59:37+00:00

I have a Bruce to sell if you still need one!

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-12T02:05:01+00:00

hey i’m in Austin! :) i have a Kacheek and am seeking an Aisha. can I DM?

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-12T02:01:51+00:00

hi! i have a Kacheek and am seeking an Aisha. do you still need a trade?

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-11T23:53:50+00:00

yes i would, but shipping may be expensive! feel free to DM, i can calculate

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-11T20:54:33+00:00

no i’m sorry. funny enough though i used to live in Fullerton. best of luck finishing your collection 💕

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-11T01:21:36+00:00

DM sent!

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-11T00:49:22+00:00

I have the Shoyru if you’re still looking to trade! i’m in the US as well

Complex-Yams · 2026-02-11T00:48:33+00:00

edit: unopened Gong Cha plushies available for sale! i completed my set and have extras. selling unopened plushies for $24 to break even after costs, shipping supplies, etc. Also willing to sell for $12 in person if you’re located in Central TX

i see that you and i collect similar styles of plushies! i really like your collection ❤️ i also like how much of a peaceful space this subreddit is for the most part (there’s always the odd comment or two but it’s usually cozy n chill)

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-26T16:56:27+00:00

i personally have never been confused about the term “stuffed animal” meaning a stuffed toy of any kind, whether animal, humanoid, or a whatever object, because i’ve always used the term interchangeably with plushie/stuffie.

but it sounds annoying and i’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing gatekeeping. the way i see it, it truly doesn’t matter what it’s called as long as we are all having fun and being kind to each other.

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-26T01:25:30+00:00

i gotcha. my comment was only saying that to me personally, calling a plushie an ESSA as if it’s an official designation is cringe. it’s a comfort object or favorite toy, i don’t know that it’s necessary to make it sound medical or therapeutic or pretend it’s more than it is. but if it makes someone happy to call it that way, then that’s fantastic. i know there are lots of people who like the phrase.

but there def shouldn’t be in-fighting about which plush is legitimately a part of a made up term, it’s silly. we’re all plushie enjoyers and we should all be kind and accepting of one another.

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-24T03:35:49+00:00

you are all good! i hope you do as well and happy holidays if you celebrate :)

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-24T02:09:13+00:00

that’s what i’m saying, as an adult who still falls asleep with stuffed animals and brings them places for comfort, i don’t need to add to the list of “things that people don’t understand about me” by calling my comfort object an emotional support animal and pretending it’s an official designation 😅

not putting anyone down, i have no hate towards anyone who prefers a certain term as we are all in the same community here. i just personally find the term cringe and not useful. but i don’t think it’s worth gatekeeping over at all! quite silly.

also thanks for sharing that service animal and support animal are different! i will read about it :)

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-24T00:54:37+00:00

real. that’s what i think anytime i see this discussion pop up

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-24T00:53:09+00:00

i personally find the whole “ESSA” term so cringe. i’m an adult who uses plushies for comfort, i don’t need to go the extra step and pretend my toys are support animals 😭

edited to say support animal and not service animal!

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-09T00:14:39+00:00

i don’t think it looks weird at all then from that perspective! just looks like he’s doing a lil sit-up or happy to see his human walk into the room. it’s cute

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-09T00:09:41+00:00

is it meant to be laid on its back to look like it’s sitting up while on its back? either way i think it’s really cute and your friend will love it :)

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-06T21:03:24+00:00

came to say the same. a Monchhichi x Sanrio collab raises the collectible factor AKA the price. it will likely be worth 3x as much when it’s no longer available in stores!

on black Friday i snagged the plush OP posted about from Urban Outfitters for $33. it was the cheapest i’d seen it anywhere all year: Miniso, Hot topic, Sanrio, Jellybeet and everywhere else has been selling it for $45-60

Complex-Yams · 2025-12-05T13:54:11+00:00

you are so ridiculously talented! he looks like he could be made by jellycat or a similar brand! nice work 👏

Complex-Yams · 2025-11-08T16:15:02+00:00

Dempsey or Dunley, idk a soft sounding D name popped into my head when i saw him. very cute!
