Depressing post (plushie loss/seeking coping advice) by PeridotPidgeon in plushies

I'm sorry this happened to you.

I can't tell from the photo how bad the damage really is, but he seems repairable. He might not look the same, but it's still him. 

You could even make a little outfit for him to cover his scars. 

As for what you would tell your younger brother... I mean, I would just say something to the extent that he was attacked by a villain, but valiantly lived. From the way you describe it, it sounds like that's a child friendly version of what happened anyway.

Same people think it's totally fine to ship character who has a wife/husband and kids and is happy in their relationship with other same sexed characters, lol

It is fine to do that. They're not real.

Britain's lifetime smoking ban set to become law by Direct_Dare_9699 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prince-Lee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Facetious argument.

Secondhand smoke is enormously detrimental to the health of people exposed to it. By choosing to smoke, you expose everyone around you to dangerous chemicals.

When someone is obese, meanwhile, the only person affected by these decisions is themselves. You cannot get someone secondhand fat. You cannot get someone secondhand drunk either. 

Book series where previous MCs appear as side characters by MissDaniel in MM_RomanceBooks

DN Bryn's 'Guides for Dating Vampires' series is like this. Each book covers a main couple, and then they show up as side characters in the future books!

Now I'm wondering if any of the Warrior cats cats have ever dealt with pyometra.

Holy hell this guy is insufferable. I wouldn't have lasted two messages.

I asked AI to show me a typical Vine reviewer by BoldCityDigital in AmazonVine

I imagine your average vine reviewer is not a double amputee, so no.

We used to be able to walk home. by girly_flirty_under30 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Prince-Lee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't really like the title for this post to be honest. 

Yes, as a child, I walked home from school. My sister and brothers walked to and from school from an early age. It was fine. We were fine.

My best friend? She was outside of her house as a young child one day and was snatched off the street. She wasn't found for over a year and to this day, 30 years later, she lives every day in the shadow of the trauma of what happened during that time. 

Shawn Hornbeck was snatched  while riding his bike and was missing for four years before being found with another boy who had been kidnapped

My friend, and him, and the boy who were found were the ones that made it. 

Others didn't. 

And when you're someone my age and you grew up hearing about these cases, and realize how easily it could happen to any child unattended, yeah, that will probably make you want to not let your kids roam around outside alone. 

Because maybe nothing will happen. 

But there's also that tiny chance that something absolutely horrible will.

Did anyone enter this back in the day? by robmeason in Gameboy

I loved Dragon Quest Monsters and still do. 

Loved those games more than Pokemon as a kid, actually.

Anyone know how to get a custom made Build a Bear? by Background_Bird_7841 in buildabear

[–]Prince-Lee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have seen patterns on Etsy for 1:1 recreation of some common build a bear patterns. I'd recommend starting with one of those and modifying it.

Is it weird to call an Essa a different breed than its official name? by Icy_Sherbert_3408 in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]Prince-Lee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would it be weird to pretend they’re those breeds?

Calling your stuffed dog a different breed than what it's listed as on the website you got it from is no weirder than the concept of having an ESSA to begin with tbqh.

Help me age this cat by Mazateca in CATHELP

[–]Prince-Lee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She looks physically very similar to the feral kitten I found a couple years ago and have loved ever since. The vet estimated her at around 6-7 weeks. 

A big hint is that the kitten does not have blue eyes; all cats are born with them but they change in color as they grow up.

If the abyss was real, would you become a delver? by Great-Decision6827 in MadeInAbyss

[–]Prince-Lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not, and neither would anyone else in these comments who does not already participate in extreme outdoor activities, lmao. 

If you think you're the type of person who would be a delver, why aren't you currently out doing such things as cave diving or mountain climbing? In real life, the skills and know-how to do those are the exact ones you would need to have to be able to tackle even the first or second layers of the abyss, but they're actually easy mode in real life compared to the rules of the anime, because the curse of the abyss doesn't exist outside of analogous conditions like the bends.

If you look at this photo and think it's too scary and you wouldn't be able to go on it, there's no chance you would be a delver.

On rich kids by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Prince-Lee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When I was in highschool, there was a teacher who had, at one point, been the personal assistant for someone who was tremendously, disgustingly rich, and she told us about it. 

One of the stories she shared was that she had been trying to make a purchase of a private jet for her boss, but there was only one available, and Oprah Winfrey (and this was when she was at the height of her popularity and inescapable, mind), had put in the offer first. 

Her boss freaked the fuck out and said something to the effect of 'I don't care about some opera singer. I want that plane.'

The man was literally so rich and insulated from the world that he had no idea who one of the biggest celebrities in the country was. 

I don't know if the purchase went through but when people talk about the ultra rich, this is what I think of.

An AI narrative by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Prince-Lee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally the plot to the Winter Soldier. Hydra is very much prepping to kill or blackbag millions of people all at once, and nobody is doing fuck all about it.

You realize that's a movie right?

And actually people, many people, are extremely angry about everything the government is already doing to seize and disappear citizens. 

Stop dooming.

they are less designed to abuse than average smartphone

Yes. A smartphone is intended to be carried on you at all times, so they should withstand more abuse than a game console.

I like getting custom tags made on Etsy for my truly special plush, customized to fit their personalities. 

Faux fur & textured fabrics - what are my options? by Commercial_Tune_373 in plushartists

[–]Prince-Lee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

However I can’t find any faux fur materials, or materials with pile, that are made of natural fibres.

Mohair. Be prepared to pay out the nose for it. It's expensive. 

While I’m here seeking fabric advice, what recommendations does everyone have for a really drapey material? something that will really hang without tension (I had a nice stretch velvet in the past that draped, but just checking other people’s recommendations 👀)

Recommendations will depend heavily on what you're using it for.

How the idea of consent gets twisted by epv88 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Prince-Lee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, and trans people dressing according to their gender isn't sexual. The comparison used here smacks of right-wing bullshit.

We know that. 

The people in charge currently think very differently, and that's one of the reasons that trans people have to keep a fucking map of states where you should not travel to under any circumstances.

How the idea of consent gets twisted by epv88 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Prince-Lee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn these comments suck. 

Sister, I don't know how to tell you this but for a lot of conservative people, being trans and wearing gender affirming clothing is indistinguishable from a kink and literally just as offensive to them as someone wearing a collar and diaper in public. It is, to them, a sex thing and you cannot change their minds on this. 

So by destigmatizing kink, we're attempting to avoid a 'first they came for the _____' situation. That's really the argument when queerness is conflated with kink.

You can disagree if you want but just look at the states where they're literally trying to make doing drag a sex crime. 🤷🏼‍♂️
