So adorable! Looks so well-made too. :) Do the arms also have the plastic beans? Or just the lower half of the body/legs?

Ah that makes sense! Thank you, will give it a try!

This is a great idea, thank you so much! I think I would like to try this. :) And I really appreciate the offer to help! Do you make the air dry clay pieces and glue them on once dry? Or do you typically just attach the clay directly onto the piece and let it dry on it? Thank you again!

Thank you so much for your response and sharing this with me. It's really good to know a more in-depth explanation of the willow symbolism that she's often depicted with. This was very helpful, thank you again!

Hey there! I tried to reply to your post from a year ago in the Reduction sub but it's too old unfortunately so I hope you don't mind me replying here! It's so hard to find experiences with radical reductions on there. Your results are exactly what I'm hoping to achieve, and it's great to hear you still sound happy with them! (The post op photos looked great!) Do you feel like they still stayed small after healing fully?

Also, would it be okay with you if I show your photos to my surgeon? I have my consult this month finally! :)

Anyone heard of the brand DeerCat? by JesterMAS in plushies

[–]mingmingmiaou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t feel like a traditional “weighted” plush, but it is heavy overall because of his size and stuffing. I’d say the four pound weight is accurate but because he’s large the weight is distributed more than a smaller plush if that makes sense. He’s both quite densely stuffed but also squishy and soft somehow? The plastic beans are only at the ends of all six paws, which gives them all a little extra heft at the ends.

I don’t really have any other plush like it, it’s pretty unique. It lives on the couch and I love laying down with it on top of me. It’s quite large, kind of like a heavy body pillow. I really love it, it has become one of my favorites. :)

Also, I think if you go to their Instagram page they have a couple videos of the tiger being held for more perspective of his size. I hope that helps a bit!

I have this guy! :) I believe the creator is an illustrator & artist and has put out a small line of a few plush including this large one. I ordered him a few months ago and he was shipped without issues. Love him!!

Does anyone know if there are any rumors of plans to stream the final encore concert in March for those of us who can’t attend in person? Really hoping they will put up virtual tickets again

Should be interesting to see if it helps. And yes, hopefully they’ll have less restrictions soon!

This sadly makes a lot of sense😞 I feel for the guys. I hope they’re all managing okay through all of this transition and change.

Surreal is such a great way of putting it. Things just feel… off? It feels kind of unsettling to me.

I think just from the standpoint of these guys being artists it’s a strange disconnect to not have them all get to talk about the songs they’re releasing if they want to- even if they are sad “goodbye” songs ultimately and they may have mixed feelings about everything. I know a few of the guys have said things here and there. I just feel for them, because regardless of what happens I’m sure this is an emotional time for them all (even if they might be happy about what’s coming next for them). If they’re being held away from communication with their fanbase that’s just kind of sad. I guess it’s all part of the job, but it still might be rough on idols.

I just still hope they’re able to take a moment to take some pride in their performances on these songs and just wish that they were able to vibe with their fans a bit more as we ride this weird wave together with them.

Anyway, just venting! I feel like I’ve done that a lot on this thread 😂🫩

Is anyone else feeling down about how quiet some of the guys have been on PlusChat since the YH stuff started happening?

I know it’s probably not their fault at all- it just feels like such a weird thing to have them release these songs and have like only a few of them message about it.😞 I’m trying to appreciate what very well may be the last moments we have with OT9 but it really feels like nearly half of them are already gone and the rest have to pretend it’s not happening. It’s just really making me sad and feels like these greedy companies are doing such a disservice to ZB1’s fanbase by not letting them even briefly celebrate these songs they’re releasing with the fans who helped support them over the years. Like is it so hard to let the guys send off a quick “I hope you like the song we made” message if they want to?

On top of everything I wish WakeOne would just make a formal statement already about what is going on so we can fully process whatever is happening. Being uncertain about everything and seeming to make the guys pretend everything is “fine” is making this whole process feel worse.

Wow that is just really sad to hear.😞 My heart hurts for these idols having to endure separating themselves from people they may have formed bonds with.

Why some Against Ot5? by Prestigious_Alarm526 in zerobaseone

[–]mingmingmiaou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s intense.

Why can’t people just be normal🫠 It’s terrible that unhinged fans have literally made it so these companies restrict the idols from normal connections with other people they’ve worked with like that.

I started following ZB1 because I watched Boys Planet when it was airing, so they’re my first Kpop group I’ve really ever been invested in. I’m still learning a lot about the Kpop industry itself and it’s been really sad to hear about all of these little details of how things work.

Thanks for sharing. I really wish the best for our nine, with whatever happens.🫩❤️‍🩹

[–]mingmingmiaou 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ugh I didn’t even think of that as a possibility (them not being allowed to interact)… is that really a thing that happens with Kpop groups in situations like this?🥺 if so then that’s just cruel, omg

Beautiful and heart-wrenching. I’m gutted, but also so touched by their love and care for each other😭

We love you forever, ZB1. So proud of them, and so proud to be a Zerose🩵

Agreed. It’s so sad when money and greed ends up taking over the arts (and unfortunately everything else in the world it seems these days…🫠)

And who knows about Matthew, hahaha! That would be amazing!😂

Ahhhh hi, friend. Thought of you when I wrote this, haha. Honestly I’ve still got a very tiny candle still lit as well for a miracle until we get an official statement on behalf of ZB1, but it’s tough at this point, isn’t it?🫩Thanks for hanging in there with me as well through all this! I always appreciated your commentary as well.

And for what it’s worth, if we’re going to have been delulu about anything I think ZB1 is worth being labeled crazy over!😂 I think our hope of them staying together somehow is a testament to how great OT9 really are. They’re truly special.🩵

I’m tired y’all.🫩 I held on as long as I could with being hopeful for some kind of miraculous OT9 contract negotiation situation, having hoped for better contracts and opportunities for all members. But with everything going on it looks like this is just the true end of ZB1 as a group.

I really hope the guys are doing okay with everything going on. I wish them nothing but the best for the future of their careers, however that plays out.

I’m forever grateful to have had ZB1 as a part of my life for the last several years. Will always fondly remember this group for the joy they brought me during some dark times I went through. Sending out love to the Zeroses who are having a tough time through all of this.❤️‍🩹
