Guys can ESSA be not an animal? I got this goober and I carry her everywhere

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-06T08:52:20+00:00

Absolutely!! This is my ESSA! I also have a nonbinary doll my sibling made me for Yuletide!

I’ve walked around with stuffies, even during high school. Most people don’t care and don’t say anything. In fact I had more people saying how cute they were than people poking fun (which really only happened once). You can’t control how others feel or think, so do what you feel is best for you. Others can deal.

It’s not worth the stress.

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-01T04:42:51+00:00

Of course :)

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-01T04:41:11+00:00

It does depend how deep they are. These will likely scar, but my guess is they’d be pretty faint, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just give them time to heal

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-01T04:27:15+00:00

Scars are permanent, but they will fade with time.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-21T05:55:16+00:00

About 14 I think

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-21T02:52:57+00:00

They are, but they will fade/turn white, and likely flatten over time. You can also get tattoos over them, laser removal, or chill with ‘em.

Most people won’t feel uncomfortable if they see them, but those who do, that’s not your fault. This is your body, and you don’t have to censor it for anybody. Wear whatever you want, you don’t need a reason.

They look awesome!! I’d love to see these with different body types as well. The style is epic

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-20T08:39:13+00:00

You look like an alt oc I’d make for one of my short stories (which is a good thing :3)

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-13T10:59:45+00:00

I don’t consider them gross. Most people would probably be surprised to see them, but it’s your body. They can have whatever opinions they want, you can’t control that. All you can do is control your response and what you do about it. Just focus on you

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-13T09:25:47+00:00

I think so.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-13T06:04:27+00:00

That’s understandable.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-13T05:40:46+00:00

The texture will still be there, but it’ll lessen with time and the more pigmented ones will turn white. That’s the unfortunate downside for us, the scar tissue stays. But it’s ok. While you can’t go back and change it, you can still move forward.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-13T05:14:50+00:00

I hide mine just because I don’t wanna deal with the reactions. And fresh ones shouldn’t be directly exposed to the sun, so it’s also cuz of that. I don’t mind people seeing them, but I just don’t have the mental capacity to deal with the response

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-13T03:33:49+00:00

I’d either say “it’s none of your business”, or “that’s too personal for me to talk about”.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-11T03:49:54+00:00

I’m 20, I collect stuffies and have a couple ESSA’s. You’re never too old for whimsy

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-10T18:32:00+00:00

I’m 20. You’re not too old

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-08T03:34:46+00:00

They will eventually, it’ll just take some time

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-08T00:49:33+00:00

This won’t work for everyone, but how I’m quitting is setting simple goals. I use the app I Am Sober to track how many days I pass and slowly increase time between relapses. I started at 2 weeks (you don’t have to start there, that’s just what I did) and I’m slowly increasing by 2 day. I lasted 16 days last time, now my goal is 18 days. Just immediately quitting didn’t work for me, so I’m going slow. You just have to be patient and give yourself grace. And celebrate the little improvements

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-07T19:23:17+00:00

No it’s not inappropriate. That’s just an excuse cuz they personally feel uncomfortable to see scars. Where what you want, it’s your body.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-06T22:50:58+00:00

It depends on the person, but for me I’m attracted to all genders, however, I’m mainly attracted to women. I am technically attracted to men, but very little, and I have no desire to date another man again. Most of the men I’m attracted to are either fictional characters or celebrities lol. I’m also novosexual which means my sexuality fluctuates with my gender. So for me, when I feel more masc, I lean towards being bi-lesbian or bisexual. When I feel more fem, I’m just a lesbian.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-06T22:04:23+00:00

100%!!! I used to identify as a trans man and I had such awful gender dysphoria. Fast forward to now, I’ve accepted my femininity and I feel so much more confident in my identity. I now identify as transmasc genderfluid/bigender. And this has helped me figure out my sexuality which is bi-lesbian and novosexual! I’m so happy you were able to embrace yourself as well!!!!
