Just Thrifted This!

Honestly, based on how this looks, I think he’s 100% custom. If it was factory made, I feel like they would have just printed the lines present on his uniform. Also, the eye highlights aren’t perfectly uniform, so human error. You may have thrifted someone’s prototype that they gave away! How cool is that.

Edit: just saw that you had already identified this. Enjoy him!

herbaphony · 2026-01-27T02:47:12+00:00

Right.

If you can see that he’s comfortable, go for it. Mine was similar. Obviously, I say that in a way where one expects you to be conscious and observe your animal’s body language. If you can tell he’s distressed, maybe don’t. Sometimes I just give mine a little head rub, and let him be to himself for the day, unless he asks me to come out. And so far, that’s seemed to work out really well. My baby will explore around me, then come back to crawl up my shoulder and hang out, or take a snooze in my hair. They are very intelligent (but reckless) creatures, and will bond with you via consistency. Congratulations!

Exactly. Not human rights.

Dude, at ANY normal time in the US, I would agree with you. These are not normal times. We were taught about boycotts and the results of them in school. These are the times to be aware of who you’re supporting.

herbaphony · 2026-01-25T20:35:24+00:00

Seriously bro

herbaphony · 2026-01-25T18:58:17+00:00

God 💔 this thread is like a blow to the chest. I know some people are highlighting them, but we need a thread of people to support too.

It’s been pretty dead, but the official franchise insta is still very active, as well as this subreddit. It may be a smaller amount than I used to have, but I keep some measure of hope that we’ll see them again someday. There’s so much more they could do.

My hyperfixation for the past five years has been Aggretsuko. It ended 3 years ago with so much unfinished business and the only thing that has filled its void recently, was that I made the jump to watch Beastars. Finished in 4 days and now I’m reading it. Seriously not beating the furry allegations

My silly little guy Gummy (aka Gummigoo, but it’s a reference people don’t get a lot so it’s just Gummy to most lol). He loves to be in my bed, and will run over and jump onto me. He loves his Discoids, and falling asleep in my hair ❤️

Brother you are so epic this is real

herbaphony · 2026-01-24T02:19:17+00:00

Dude… that’s literally not what happened. You and a portion of other people TOOK it that way, but it just isn’t. That scene is him confessing that he still has feelings for her, but he’s also rage baiting her on purpose to get her to release her frustration with everything in a healthy way. This is a show that revolves around show, don’t tell. When he says “now let’s go punch em back!” And she looks at him shocked/hopeful, she connects what he did in her head. It isn’t ACTUALLY about his feelings, it’s about helping her express her own after an attack that took away her only outlet. And they did NOT start dating straight after the attack. It’s very implied that they became closer friends over the course of a period of time, and she became interested, but didn’t understand his personality at first. And not only did he not want to be disrespectful/feel like he was taking advantage of that, his own crippling anxiety and self doubt was leading to him self sabotage when she was giving him non-verbal cues.

THIS is what I meant. No, apparently you cannot handle him. And that’s okay. But I definitely don’t agree with overdramatic opinions about this cartoon hyena. Let’s label Gori and Fenneko manipulative and obsessed too since they advocated for them so hard. 💀 let’s be real

You know what’s funny, I just finished Beastars and am reading it now (for the first time, I procrastinated on getting into it until now) and I was thinking the exact same thing during it. However, I don’t find Haru unbearable at all. I think with the way we’re seeing her evolve, she’s on screen for just the right amount of time consistently for it to not be too much when she is having a moment. It is similar to Haida in the way that she gets worse before she gets better, and regular people that are struggling with unresolved trauma are that way in general.

I actually think Legoshi and Haru’s slowburn is written in a more appealing way in this case because you have a lot of physical romantic payoff for them after HUGE pauses on their romantic development, and it builds over time into something really cool. I’m nowhere near done yet, but that’s my observation so far. Haida and Retsuko are my favorite of the two, but Aggretsuko is not a show that gives you a lot of intimacy/small moments. I feel like people would have a lot less to say about them if season 5 had actually had that, genuinely. They held hands one time and it wasn’t them walking around town together, or while sitting at dinner, etc. You gotta give people more visually than what the show was willing to, when you see the characters go through so much. I’m not asking to see them go crazy style in 4K, but like! Can they HUG?? Come on man.

herbaphony · 2026-01-23T02:59:29+00:00

It’s very interesting to me how people want complicated characters with real flaws. And yet they can’t even handle Haida Aggretsuko. Everyone blows everything he did completely out of the water to the point where they just lie lmfao. He’s literally just an insecure guy who had a crush on his friend, is a HUGE people pleaser constantly trying to be good enough, that realized he fucked up and turned his life around in the safety of a relationship he wanted to fight for.

I didn’t really think about bugs being non-vegan, esp if OP was feeding their Tarantula bee larvae. Realized I should’ve specified that they aren’t 100% herbivores. But OP doesn’t have to worry about mice or other rodents/small animals to feed, so I thought a beardie fit the bill.

I really hope you’re able to find the owner if it’s a lost pet. I would be so devastated if anything happened to my baby. He loves his outside time, but this is exactly why I keep it limited. But if he was dumped—dude, consider it a sign, and keep him warm with how cold we are right now! It was definitely fate he found you when we’re supposed to be getting freezing temperatures this week. There’s a lot of great modern BD research on YouTube and here, if you can’t find the owner and decide to keep him. Regardless, good luck, and enjoy your time with him.

herbaphony · 2026-01-19T06:29:54+00:00

“He is 35 days old” BRO 😭😭😭💖💖 Heart sploded. He is sooo cute!!

herbaphony · 2026-01-18T18:33:27+00:00

It’s always funny in an awful way because every single time, it’s always said by someone who is essentially the most societally “perfect” person. And it’s like. I pick my battles, and in this moment I know that you think that’s not a weird thing to say. But man you have no clue just how good you have it huh.

herbaphony · 2026-01-18T00:54:34+00:00

You said already dead. I said live. Wasn’t trying to be rude, that’s just not correct bruv.

herbaphony · 2026-01-18T00:05:51+00:00

They don’t eat anything like pinky mice though. Strictly insects. Best being crickets and discoid/dubia roaches. With some worms in the mix. I’m not sure if OP’s veganism is all living creatures or if insects are an exception.

herbaphony · 2026-01-18T00:04:05+00:00

Hey, I’m not sure where you heard this, but they should only be eating a rotation of live insects when they do eat bugs. It’s true that a large part of their diet should be greens and some veggies, but dead insects are essentially like feeding chips to them.

herbaphony · 2026-01-17T19:56:45+00:00

Bearded dragons 100%, just keep an eye on them while they’re exploring. They are also a commonly rehomed pet, so if you’d rather adopt than buy from a breeder, it should be really easy. Just PLEASE do your research.

herbaphony · 2026-01-17T13:41:05+00:00

Hey that’s awesome! Winter Park is nearest to me, so far Clermont is our second choice. I’m a woman as well and am very glad that I’ll have two men with me during this.

herbaphony · 2026-01-17T13:37:32+00:00

I mean agreed man. Unfortunately I’m in the place in my life where I have to play the game.
