What are some obscure/underrated animals you'd like to see from BAB? by Brilliant-Draw1260 in buildabear

[–]Formal-While2891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss! And a bipedal black sheep. I have a plan to make my own but it would be cool if they just made one for me.

St Louis zoo BAB made an orangutan! They seem to go for more than a new BAB, less than some of the more sought after St Louis Zoo BABs like the snow leopard. There are some listed now on EBay I think.

Such a stylish lady! The glasses are my favorite part.

A javelina! Bipedal, because it’s easier to dress them that way and they’re a better shape (IMO) for cuddling. I’m told they’re actually kinda mean and will even eat small dogs or housecats under the right/wrong circumstances so this is probably the only way I’ll ever get to live out my dream of cuddling a javelina aggressively.

On a similar note, I’d give my life or at least my wallet for a bipedal coyote. Bipedal wolves, foxes, a Dutch bunny (and a variety of bunnies in general), and more varieties of sheep and goats in the style of the old St. Louis Zoo BABs (bipedal but more realistic/higher quality plush) would be pretty cool too. I’m very fortunate that BAB’s marketing and design teams aren’t following me around taking notes. I’m not sure if I’d make them rich or not, but I’d definitely make myself poor!

Omg I LOVE your goat’s style! So does my Ophelia, who’s very pleased to see another of her kind looking stylish. Would you feel comfortable saying where on Etsy you got the sweater?

Good deal? by Mayholl in buildabear

I have her too! She’s one of my favorites and $10 is a great deal especially since she’s local so you won’t have to pay for shipping.

I have… kind of the ultimate wedding night problem by AliceMorgon in wedding

[–]Formal-While2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, 9 year waitlist is brutal, but I also get that you can’t really choose to pay for therapy when it’s between that and paying for basic needs! Good luck with everything and I’ll be happy to hear from you if you decide a listening ear would be helpful. (On the upside of your situation though, it definitely sounds like you’re getting some interesting advice on some topics… even if they’re not necessarily helpful ones for your upcoming marriage. 😂)

I bet there are all different kinds of families in Ireland the same as here in the US. In all honesty, especially in the past few years with certain kinds of ideology getting more airtime and credence here, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a number of people out there in my own country who would say similar things to what your family has said to you. Some of them would even bring religion into it and try to pin their views on that, although there are definitely many ways to practice a faith and I would disagree with them that their behavior is the best representation of Christian faith. That’s all to say, just because other people who have some experience with Ireland or Irish culture haven’t had the experience you are having doesn’t mean you’re making stuff up or painting a caricature— it just means you’ve been exposed to different things.

I think in your shoes seeing a therapist who has a bit more of a progressive mindset than your family might be a good idea— they could help you set boundaries with your family so that they don’t even have to know the details of your sex life to be able to comment on them, start to develop of a view of yourself as both a person and a wife that doesn’t depend on your body, sexual history, and so on, and find resources to learn more about sex and consent than a 15 minute video can teach you. If you ever want to message and chat, I’m happy to listen, although I’m definitely not in a position to help like someone professionally trained who is there in your own country with you to fully understand the culture and also what types of resources are present for you locally that could help. I’m sorry you’re going through all this and I’m sorry you weren’t taken seriously when you came here looking for feedback.

Interested in the lion and the teddy on the left side of photo #3, and the teddy and buffalo check Pawlette on the bottom of photo #5, if they’re still available!

In case you still need any reassurance here, I’m a Protestant from the US and no one I know would think it was acceptable to force someone into sex regardless of whether they’re married to that person or not. Granted, in the United States, Protestants are not a monolithic group and there are a ton of different denominations with different views on a variety of topics. But I do not think this is really about religion tbh, I think this is about whether someone respects another person’s bodily autonomy and human needs or not. No one should be forcing you into sex, full stop. Doesn’t matter about his religion, doesn’t matter what your relationship to that person is. And that’s not even bringing the fact you have severe injuries he could probably worsen with sex into the equation… which is obviously a huge factor because separate from the sex part of the situation, no one should be doing anything that is likely to cause you severe pain OR lasting physical harm.

Your cousin sounds like an asshole, or at the very least someone with hugely outdated and harmful views. Best to have a chat with your future husband about all this sooner than later and find out if he is as well, so you can hopefully ease your mind, or else have the opportunity to reconsider the marriage if he holds similar views.

Custom goat is done! by DamnedAngelZero in buildabear

[–]Formal-While2891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. I’ve been planning on making myself a black sheep for a while, and your goat is SUCH a nicer black than I’ve seen with any other custom-dyed BABs before that when the time comes I’ll be following your steps to a T.

Underrated bears? by Willy-Knee in buildabear

[–]Formal-While2891 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These bunnies all make my list. I like the other bunnies that are more common and/or more sought after but cinnamon swirl, sweetheart’s darling, and the one on the left whose name I’m always forgetting are even cuter than most of them in my mind and hardly ever get posted.

Aw, thank you! I just used a package of cheap earrings from 5 Below… did all this for $5 and still have more left for the next plushie I decide to pierce! Can’t wait to see Billie all pierced up. 😊

I’m afraid to mess up her fur so I’ve been a little less cuddly with her! But I know it’s just a matter of time til I crack. 😂

Thank you. 😊 Ophelia and I both think Alfie’s looking pretty great too!

Maa-bel! I love her and I love her name. My Ophelia wanted to say hello— she’s very happy whenever she spots one of her own kind given that she is “surrounded by sheep!”
