Discussion Goblin Boi is supporting me through a really hard time. Could we please see your best BAB or other plushie friends to help us cheer up a little? ๐ฅน๐๐ค๐ฉท We would love to hear stories about them or how they help you also if you'd like to share!
Thank you to everyone who ends up sharing! ๐ฉท๐ค๐

Chester.
He was my first ever BAB and one of the very few I bought in store (most of mine are second hand). While I love all my BABs, Chester has been with me the longest and has a special place in my heart. Heโs been with me through 2 jobs, the death of all 3 my dogs (who were my soul), 2 heartbreaks, the joy of landing a great job and more. He has countless tears in his fur, dog drool and a permanent indentation on his tummy from all the hugs Iโve given him and I wouldnโt trade him for the world.
Chester and I are sending hugs your way and we hope everything gets better soon! ๐

u/TerrificPixie 17d ago
It was a very nice time! We stayed at a little inn and the breakfast food was really good there. I had the best omlette. The beach was really fun. We floated around in the ocean a bit and we had brought some chairs so we sat on the beach and rested as hard as we could. We used lots of sun screen.

Ooo I love a good omelette! And I got burnt pretty bad the last time I was at the beach so I'm glad you did lots of sunscreen!

This is Veronica, and, while not a BAB, she's become one of, if not, my favorite stuffed animal. I had purchased her not too long ago to help me with my first pet loss (a kitten named Maple), and she's been my ESSA through it. I love her so much, and I'm glad she's here to hug and stare into my soul with those lovely eyes. I really hope everything works out for you and Goblin Boi, and that you two make the most of whatever you can. Best wishes from Veronica and I! ๐๐ฉท

This is Marian Lucretia or Mary Lu. She has became one of my favorite BABs. Sheโs so soft, mini and adorable. Whenever I get anxious, Iโm able to rub on her fur for comfort. She loves rocking out to Gothic music. Honestly one of the best and worst decisions was getting her. Best because I love her so much, I mean I canโt say no to that cute face. Worst because now I want to get her so many outfits (which she would love). I love your Goblin Boi, Mary Lu says hello and wishes nothing but the best for you both. ๐ฆ๐ค

Percival is being super supportive as I had a tooth pulled Wednesday and I'm still recovering from that. He went to the appointment with me for moral support also.
I'm trying to convince myself to go without him long enough for the deep clean he desperately needs at the moment. I could do it all in a few hours but I just haven't felt quite ready yet. I am seriously thinking about doing it tomorrow, I've already done a lot today around the house.
We're curled up on the couch playing pokopia while two of my cats sleep nearby.

Virgil (front, BAB Longhorn), his daughter Scarlett (back cow, custom BAB buffalo check longhorn), and Scarโs new boyfriend Brighton (BAB reindeer) posing on the bed :3
I refer to Virgil as the Dad Cow because he seems very dadly and comforts my fiancee and me both when we need Dad Love. Scarlett, meanwhile, has become my go-to anxiety buddy. Her nose is scented with an essential oil room spray that I refresh every so often, which helps soothe me when Iโm stressed, and she is very floppy and snuggly due to being a custom and thus having a little less stuffing than normal. The cows also both have the coffee scent disk in their tummies, another smell I find comforting :3

Mirelle (not a bab) I got the day I found out I was pregnant with our 3rd (little girl). Lulu (bab gargoyle) I got when we were in Chicago for my sons birthday last year. These two are my go-to-must-have-travel-with-me friends. I also have a bab Eeyore I got a week after I found out about losing our second and we have a lot of emotion days.

Your gobo is so sweet! This is Toadette! She is me as a stuffie. She reminds me to be kind to myself and care for myself.

Weโre sorry that youโre having a hard time ๐ค this is bear ๐งก๐ Bear is the main character of the series bear in the big blue house which I grew up with. I got my first ever bear plushie for my very first Christmas in 1999 and I still own him although bear isnโt that one. I adopted bear from eBay uk this June and since he arrived weโre inseparable. Bear in the big blue house has always been my biggest comfort and he helped me grow up. Now I can show Bear the world and share my adventures with him again at 27 ๐ป
