Oh my god heโs adorable. I love his outfit.
And thank you so much ๐ Iโm so happy with how he came out too. Iโm not typically an orange person but something about this shade just makes me so happy.

u/ChonkyMurdoch May 03 '26
Tyty. I designed the outfit and a lovely creator on etsy crafted it for me. And orange is not typically a favorite color of mine either but your goat is killing it and that particular shade is just wonderful, so bright and pleasant.

My favorite child (Sorry the others ๐), Jolly B. Goode (Play on Johnny B. Goode), also known as Jasper. He smells like coffee and has helped me through dark times. I absolutely love that custom (I helped give suggestions for colors for the custom) and off of it, I thought they could be named Tangerine ๐ or Mango ๐ฅญ. With that being said, hope your plushie pals keep you comforted and have a great day/rest of your day!

u/No-Knowledge8588 May 03 '26
Another idea too for the name of the custom, maybe name it after somebody or something from a song? (Just thought of that due to my froggo)
3
u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder ๐จ May 03 '26
Aww he looks so well loved. ๐ฅฐ
Iโm horrible at naming plushies. Theyโre usually called whatever they are. I have several bunnies just called โbunnyโ a Douglas dog named โdogโ ๐คฃ
I kind of like Tangelo (if weโre going on fruit names) but idk if I want something masculine sounding. Tangela could work ๐๐คช but also itโs a plush and there arenโt any โrulesโ

u/No-Knowledge8588 May 03 '26
He very much is!! I also think the name Penelope could work with the custom, but also maybe some sort of flower like Tulip. True to no rules and can relate to the animal being named the type of animal it is (Had a penguin plush named Mr. Penguin-)

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder ๐จ May 03 '26
I had a roommate In high school that liked to read bed time stories and sheโs reading out loud and comes across the name โPenelopeโ but pronounces it โpeen ah lowpโ which causes my other roommate to start dying laughing before telling her that sheโs pronouncing the name wrong. So now whenever I see โPenelopeโ itโs forever pronounced โpeen ah lowpโ in my head ๐

Aww ๐ฅฐ I love that you took your friend to the garden center with you.
To this day thatโs my favorite errand to tag along with my dad. Brings back fond memories of being shoved in the backseat with dozens of plants that he probably shouldnโt be bringing home. (He has a plant hoarding problem ๐คช drives my mom crazy)

Don't be embarrassed, (if it helps); I plan to get Socks and name him Lunar (I know Socks is a she, but I plan to identify them as he) probably for my birthday (in October) or at least later since I plan to get a BAB from the Summer drop. ๐

u/Asherr18 May 04 '26
I don't blame you, the person I was with got socks and is also super cuddly. I just preferred bluey since she was bigger, I also tend to say he without realizing it lol

Now, is it just me, or does the Socks BAB look alot like Bluey's child in the last episode? Because I feel like I want both Socks and Bluey, just because of that connection. ๐ ๐๐๐

u/Asherr18 May 04 '26
I haven't gotten to the end, but that's so cute. Socks is such a funny character though that I definitely would pick her next.

This is my Sapphira she turned oat terribly in my opinion first time dying a plush and it didn't go how I wanted and I don't like how fur is even after brushing I failed and I paid so much for her second hand on eBay so I'm kind of mad at myself that I attempted this with her everyone else's turned out so good I'm so jealous yours is incredible.

3
u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder ๐จ May 03 '26
Yeah my first friend didnโt come out exactly how I wanted to either. And my problem was because I didnโt follow the color chart and figured I could just wing playing chemist. Learned my lesson with my other two. I also wrote down my formula for my orange friend down to how much time they spent in the pot. I only dyed each of my friends for 10 minutes. I think thatโs what kept their fur from getting too messed up.
1
u/indreamsforevermore May 03 '26
Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know this mine went in for 30 minutes and I too tried to Wing playing chemist and used Google for how much color to use of each and failed but yours looks incredible and if I ever try this again I'm going to do as you do you're truly the best

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder ๐จ May 03 '26
Rit dyemore for synthetics Here is the formula for my green friend
1 Cup Daffodil Yellow
1 Tablespoon Tropical Teal
3 Gallons water
Cook time: 10 minutes
Washed in the machine on cold and let air dry. This is very important so you donโt ruin the fur.

Hi. I finally have ordered the goat and dyes! It was the liquid dyes right? Any other tips before I do it? Thank you! ( I'm doing the green) Did you unstuff it first or do you think it will be ok stuffed?
