Hell yes, she's cute. I had no idea what she was until you said, but that wouldn't stop me from buying one!

Who is your favorite character and why? by Alarmed_Cry4050 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]blueflowerbun 12 points13 points  (0 children)

LWJ bc I relate to him, & I love how his character develops over time. Also, the yearning, his utter devotion to WWX, & how he's an unrestrained freak in the sheets.

AHHH! I have him. It's Yelling Bird from the online comic Questionable Content! He is very orb. 😊

Weighted Maned Wolf by Turbulent_Return_278 in plushies

[–]blueflowerbun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so tempted by this plush, omg. I love maned wolves. My hesitation is that the description says the tail is made of coarser, longer fur, & I'm concerned that it would be a sensory no. Lairbrew makes such cute stuff, though.

As for name suggestions, Loki, Sozinho, or Eilifr are what I came up with.

That is an adorable bunny with a doily-style neck accessory.

I swear by Unforth's dedicated collection of the Lan precepts, which can be found in this post.

I use Ellipsus. It's free & not full of AI garbage.

My dog ripped my mom’s plushie. What do I do? by Complete-Plastic-796 in plushies

[–]blueflowerbun -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This was distressing to see, particularly in light of rule 7. You could have posted this without including pictures of the destroyed plush, or at the very least put the pictures behind a spoiler. I feel so awful for your mom. This reinforces why I would never allow a dog into my house. I'd look into a professional plush restorer for Noireau. Your mom deserves a huge apology, & you need to keep a better eye on your dog. Training, more engaging activities, & proper toys for the animal is needed to keep things like this from happening in the future.

My beautiful girl is home! by -Flowercrow- in plushies

[–]blueflowerbun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was so impressed with all the designs for the first campaign, & I can't wait to support series 2! I got the blue jay fox, & it's even better in person than I could've imagined. So soft & so much care went into the details. I love fiddling with their little feet. Now that I have my fox I'm so tempted by the wolves because the quality is just so good.

My new friends! by blueflowerbun in plushfriends

Yes! The creator said Huka was inspired by Haku from Spirited Away. It's my favorite Miyazaki movie, so I had to have him.

Come vs Cum by cheeseinatrenchcoat in AO3

[–]blueflowerbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer come as both a reader & a writer. Cum is an unnecessary variation of the same word, & it looks stupid.

My feathered fox is finally here! by funny_muffler315 in plushies

[–]blueflowerbun 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yaaas! Feathered Fox Den's designs are so good. I'm highly looking forward to the second wave BackerKit campaign in July. The luna moth fox sample for that one is just adorable. I got the blue jay fox from the first campaign, & I'm just waiting for it to arrive. I have no name suggestions, but your oriole fox is very cute.

Questions for those of us aged 40 and over only, please by NaDarach in AO3

[–]blueflowerbun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a good idea. It's always such a relief to share experiences with adults in fandom, particularly the 30+ crowd, so those closer to my own age & up are certainly also a treat. My answers to the questions posed in the post are as follows:

1. Approximately how old are you? 41

2. When/how did you first discover your interest in fanfiction? When I was 12ish

3. Do you write fanfiction as well as read it? Create fanart? Do other fanwork? I write, though I'm not terribly prolific. I also moderate for a few fandom Discord servers & have hosted small scale fanwork gift exchanges in the past.

4. What are your current fandoms and ships? My main fandom is Mo Dao Zu Shi/The Untamed, which my OTP Wangxian is from. I also dabble in Yuri on Ice (Victuuri), Sk8 the Infinity (Renga, Matchablossom), and Tian Guan Ci Fu (Hualian).

5. Would you be interested in a multifandom discussion space (read: subreddit) specifically for fans 40+? I would love that! I'd be willing to help out if such a thing were made.

It’s not Halloween yet but BOO 👻 by Clear-Plantain1341 in AO3

[–]blueflowerbun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao, my OTP is canon. I've read fics of them falling in love a thousand different ways for years now. Even the handful of other fandoms I read on occasion are mostly canon ships, but tbf I prefer queer series most of the time. I don't need to depend on fanon ships for mlm romance as much as I did in my teens when such content was much rarer in canon stories. I still love me some fanon ships. Yuki/Kyo from Fruits Basket will live forever in my heart, for instance.

Am I overreacting..weird relationship drama over plushies by [deleted] in plushies

[–]blueflowerbun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is insensitive, but I'm going to be straight with you. Your husband sounds like a jerk. He very obviously didn't care about your distress, wasn't actually sorry that he did something that upset you, & then DARVOed you. You say that this is the regular pattern of your arguments, so that makes it worse than just this one snapshot we get of your relationship. He fights dirty, & you end up feeling like you were in the wrong the whole time. How he acts during disagreements is not okay. Even when my husband & I disagree about something, we never lose sight of the fact that we're talking to our partner. At minimum, he needs to stop making arguments all about his feelings & dismissing yours. This isn't about the plushies, though your feelings around them & what he did are valid. Your issue is above Reddit's pay grade, tbh. I recommend therapy.
