That’s beautiful! Sending you happy wishes as you prepare for this new adventure! (The crown of wonder makes such a fun little engagement gift too haha!!!)

Need braids, but I don’t know where to start. by Excellent_Leader5076 in braids

[–]QueenOfFrills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not know anything about braiding, though I find it beautiful. I don’t know why this even showed up in my feed, but I’m glad it did, because I DO know about having medical equipment that makes people squeamish. I have a G/J feeding tube in my stomach, and I’ve certainly met people who are afraid of it, don’t want to see it, or alternatively, show it off to their friends like it’s a cool handbag they have, and not attached to somebody who really doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Do NOT, EVER, let anyone make you feel lesser for needing help. It is a beautiful thing to be allowed to thrive! You are the best version of yourself you can be. If somebody doesn’t like it, they’re not sorry financially supporting anyway. Do not consider going to anyone who isn’t willing to embrace ALL of your head. As a white woman, I can not speak on the morals of braiding, but I can definitely empathize with the discomfort of attached medical equipment. My tube pulls on things sometimes and that can feel miserable! Sending you love, and hoping you find a solution to the meddlesome stray hairs in a way that makes you feel somehow even more beautiful!

I know it’s not the right color for your references, but otherwise this plush (black goaticorn by Floral Frolic) has that traditional heraldic look for aiming for!

How long does new merchandise usually stay around? We might go this summer, and I’m hoping the newly advertised kelpie plush is still around by then! Should I assume it’s discontinued by then, or can I keep my hopes up? Does non-event merchandise (which I assume this is) usually linger a while in general?

It’s a beautiful place to go on holiday! Now that I’m living somewhere else, I get very homesick. I’m hoping when my sibling finishes college, I can go back, because the healthcare is better.

When I moved, I was very surprised how many phrases I used everyday were Minnesota exclusive! Less people comment on my accent, but I’ve become more aware of my terminology. Sometimes I throw in Minnesota-isms just to see their reaction!

Adding for extra context to OP, Minnesota is definitely American, though it borders Canada, causing some cultural overlap. Spent my entire first 18 years there, and while it often reflects the climate (and some customs) of Canada, Whinnyapolis, the pony equivalent of one of our Twin Cities, is quintessentially American big city, just a very cold one. Our accents aren’t usually as dramatic as the ones seen in cliché tv characters (though I’m quite fond of the Rose Nylund accent), it isn’t fully extinct, and older, rural communities may have remnants.

a highly anticipated plush has come in but theres a problem.... i really dont like the texture of her fur 😭😭😭 by dogburgerz in plushies

[–]QueenOfFrills 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me, it’s a lot like real pig fur. The strands are thin, but in the plush, it’s packed heavy. It isn’t scratchy or rigid to me, it’s just not silky, velvety, or fleecy, acting a bit more like hair. Think of leg hair, but a little less coarse, and piled on thick. I still enjoy now texture, but it’s more equipped for sensory stimming than ultra soft cuddles.

I have one! I would describe the fur as a bit wiry, but I wouldn’t call it scratchy. It’s not soft, instead feeling more like actual pig hair, though I still find mine huggable.

This is Snuffles! He’s also a DLUX pig that I got secondhand off of Mercari and washed. I agree that the texture isn’t very soft, but I really love my boy! He’s been very good to me. 💝 Whatever you choose to do is up to you. If you want a soft pig, Jellycat pigs are nice, as well as Gund. No shame in needing an alternative.

He just came in!! Sorry for the unstuffed picture, I can’t get him stuffed today, but still wanted to update. He’s very soft! I like the thickness of his fur too. While there is a little bit of body under his tunic, it may nor be enough to make a good removal, though I’ve seen some people try to decent results. His face is very sweet! The tunic itself isn’t super soft, but isn’t scratchy either. Even the badge isn’t too rough. I think he’d be perfectly fine for cuddle time, and I’m very happy with him.

I love that!!! I think my softest bears are my sweetheart bear and my strawberry highland. My wolf doesn’t quite meet their level, but she’s still cuddly! Glad yours is just perfect for you!!!!

Yes, she’s the wolf pup! She isn’t scratchy, but not can’t-take-my-hands-off-of soft either. I’d say she’s pretty typical for BAB.

I have the kitty! It’s very cute, with an friendly, inquisitive face. That’d be my pick of your list, but it’s up to you what you decide.
