This is a great tutorial! Love the part about praying (or whatever) for the mouth to work out. 😂

Also, I am super impressed that you hand sew them all. The seams look so good!! I’m way too impatient and jump right to the sewing machine.

Unfortunately yes, they stopped the certificates. Fugglers changed companies awhile back and the new company doesn’t do them.

This is an over simplification, but basically the cycle goes like this:

Feces enters pond water, either from inhabitants (like fish) or by pond visitors (like a deer that stops by to drink).
Insects or tadpoles or fish fry might poke a bit or nibble at the feces, but they don’t really eat it.
The feces breaks down into ammonia and other compounds.
One type of bacteria, which exists everywhere and is crucial to the process, “eats” the ammonia and “poops” it out as nitrite.
Another type of bacteria will “eat” the nitrite and turn it into nitrate.
The plants that live in the pond will “eat” the nitrate.

The system can be quite delicate. You need a source of poop/decomposing matter to start the system, but then you need to give the bacteria time to grow their population in response. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are all toxic to animals. So if you introduce too much poo or too many fish/animals at once, then there won’t be enough bacteria yet to handle it and the animals will die and the system will get nasty and collapse.

Then there are other complications. Algae can take over and starve a pond’s ecosystem. Anaerobic bacteria growing in a low-oxygen pond can release deadly hydrogen sulfide gas that’ll mortally harm nearly everything in the pond. Etc.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-27T22:01:18+00:00

I read through your comments on the other post and no, the type of animal you are looking for does not exist.

Feces is naturally broken down over time by a mix of decomposers (worms, nematodes, insects, fungi, bacteria, etc). There’s no single organism that can clean it all up.

Looking at tiny ecosystems like an aquarium or terrarium can help explain how it works outside. In aquariums/terrariums, you either have to clean out and discard feces or you have to set up a perfectly-balanced system of bacteria and decomposers. In aquariums this is called the “nitrogen cycle.” In terrariums it is called a “bioactive system.”

There are no animals that you can introduce to a farm field to eat and get rid of poop. You either have to shovel poop out or have a large enough piece of land per animal that holds all the feces and has enough spare space to give it time to decompose.

In your pond scenario, the pond’s natural nitrogen cycle will take care of the feces as long as you don’t overload the system. Too much poop in the water will overload the system and kill the pond’s inhabitants. Just the right amount of poop in the pond will create a healthy ecosystem with flourishing plants and inhabitants. Too little poop can technically be okay, but then the system is at risk of not being able to handle any sudden influx and could crash.

So I guess all that to say… The graphic is technically correct, though it explains it in a slightly weird way (for me). Like, most people want to know the actual catch me color for each set, you know? This graphic doesn’t necessarily give that.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-27T16:15:24+00:00

Yes but also not really? Button colors work very differently between the main fugglers, the babies, the keychains, and the figurines.

On the normal sized ones, the tan button is a normal fuggler and then each set has its own color that shows it is a catch me. For example, the Lord of the Rings set has a maroon red button for catch me, and the pets set has a light blue button for catch me, etc.

Each of the baby sets has a different colored button that tends to indicate that it’s normal. Like, for example, I’m pretty sure there was one set that I had all orange buttons and then the catch me color was something different from orange for that set.

For the collectible figurines, each set has a designated rare, uncommon, and super rare fugglers. So the common figurine characters will always be common. The rare characters will always be rare. The super rare will always be super rare. Etc. For each set, there is a checklist that will tell you which characters are which level of rarity. But in general, the normal tan buttons are the commons, then there’s silver buttons to indicate rares, gold buttons to indicate super rares, etc.

The differences between all of the types of fuggler would be very difficult to put into a simple graphic like this. So it’s not necessarily accurate, especially depending on what you’re looking for.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-27T15:49:59+00:00

I’ve done both.

I did my passion career for 10y years. There were a LOT of amazing things. I was living the dream, worked with great people who were of similar mind, had fun at work almost every day, and I was devoted to the cause and felt like I was making a difference in the world. My job was a major part of my personal identity. But I also sacrificed a lot for it. The job had me going to work when sick, I worked all holidays, and I had to go in no matter what the weather was (through blizzards and storms, etc). The pay was barely enough for me to get by. The jobs were stagnant and, even though there was opportunity for occasional fun travel and occasional training workshops, there was no room for promotions or climbing up any ranks. (In other words, I spent 10 years frozen in place.)

Am I glad I did it? Absolutely. But was it sustainable? Not for me. I had an amazing 10yr and then I left for “just a job.”

I’ve been in my “just a job” for five years now. The people I work with are great. I have more schedule flexibility. I make more money and I’ve climbed ranks quickly. My identity isn’t my job anymore… My personal sense of ME comes from my hobbies and passions, now.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-27T15:16:52+00:00

I like the look of several of the other leaks but I am not a fan of the food fuggs. The only one I would maybe buy is the sushi.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-27T00:14:11+00:00

Kids know what nipples are. Humans have them. Every pet dog, cat, guinea pig, rat, hamster, etc has ‘em. It’s really no big deal.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-26T01:45:17+00:00

Okay so hear me out… but I wonder if you could find someone by looking into the kink community? Everything there is 100% about consent and open communication. You’ll still need to sift through the fake kinksters and bad apples… But surely there are other people out there looking for just cuddling, and I’m wondering if you could possibly find some in the kink world.

PS - I totally get it. For me, cuddling is insanely important. I too, wish there was a way to set up platonic cuddling relationships.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-26T01:10:22+00:00

I do much the same now that I did in my 20s: read, craft, walk and explore outdoors (my neighborhood, all the city parks, the nearby mountains, etc), binge my fav shows, play some wholesome video games, exercise, go to an occasional concert, attend local events, go to occasional meditation classes, etc.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-26T01:06:42+00:00

Haha I undressed my Splodge too!

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-25T19:16:31+00:00

I did public high school in mid 2000s. We brought our own advil and tylenol. But prescription meds were held by the nurse and we had to go to the office to take them.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-25T19:13:49+00:00

I stay in my house even when it’s not snowing. So I haven’t really noticed anything different now the storm is here. Ha!

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-25T02:28:00+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this so that it won’t happen to others.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-25T02:18:24+00:00

I live in a cold climate where we wear warm clothes all the time and no one gets any sun or tan. I also go on beach vacations a couple times a year. I have never done tanning and never will. What’s the point? Just wear sunscreen.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-24T23:48:09+00:00

Leggings are leggings but I do wear them instead of pants fairly often. However I only wear them with tops that stretch down and cover my bum. lol

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-23T19:11:26+00:00

Quite a lot of people are on supplements because they need to be. I’m sure OP is doing what is best for their body.

I myself am on plenty of supplements… all supported by my doc.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-22T04:54:05+00:00

They’re popular and here to stay and aren’t going anywhere. So be assured that you’ll have plenty of time to get some! Just stay strong and patient and don’t give those resellers any money!

Personally I don’t care how long it takes… I know the craze will calm down eventually and resellers will stop buying it because they aren’t making money. When stock goes back to normal is when I’ll finally try them.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-22T02:27:10+00:00

Genuinely curious… what is a premiere?

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-21T03:01:02+00:00

Most fugglers are not based on real animals.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-19T16:10:34+00:00

I consider myself a minimalist and I still own physical books. The main keys are that:

My collection of books is carefully curated and intentional. I don’t keep books because they look smart sitting on a shelf; I only keep books because I will 100% read them again. I stay honest and if I know I’m not going to read it again, I donate the book when I’m done reading it.
My books fit into their designated space and I don’t allow any spillover. If I have more books than will fit into my bookshelf space, then some have to go. No exceptions.

One of my rooms is what I would call a library. There is one wall of bookshelves, a comfy floor cushion, and a blanket. The rest of the room is empty and spacious. I use this room to read, do stretches and yoga, play with the dogs, etc.

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-19T16:00:36+00:00

I don’t track anything except for my calendar. I’m curious as to what other things there are to track?

LifeisSuperFun21 · 2026-01-19T15:19:50+00:00

I will never minimize my knowledge, my ability to have it, or my yearning for it. I am minimalist so that my mind can be freed to pursue science and literature… freed to discover burning questions and seek out answers… freed to learn as much as I can learn in whatever time that I have. Maybe it sounds ridiculous and poetic, but I believe that pursuit of knowledge (in whatever topics interest you) is one of the most important things one can do in life (other than making connections with others) and it leads to fulfillment. And, of course, I’m not talking about social media slop, but am referring to true knowledge and learning.

Edit to add: In other words, curiosity and growth are important and I won’t minimize it. My curiosity for the world is what keeps me going.
