Furbies!
Small, round, prone to making funny sounds.
They are that most perfect blend of ridiculousness and something a bit mysterious. Originally released in 1998 by Tiger Electronics, the #furby has gone on to become one of the iconic toys. What they are exactly remains a little unclear (Hamsteresque? Owllike? Some sort of marsupial pixie gremlin? Dear Reader, we know not), but what they are for sure is extremely popular—and quite rightly so, because they are super cute. If not a touch unsettling. They also make for a great introduction to parenthood, as they enjoy hugs, shaking, pats on the head, shaking, eating its pretend pizza charm, and having their hair combed. Why, they are just like us.
For all of these reasons, and so much more, Furbies are dizzyingly popular on Tumblr, with a huge fandom community, and shitposts ranging from the nightmarish, adorable, and Biblical in theme, scope, and subject matter. Dive in and see for yourself, and hey, who knows—you too may find yourself shaking, your head being patted, or crying out incoherent gibberish.

FRESH DRAWING GUIDE:
Hello everybody, I've come to give you all this absurd reference guide for drawing Fresh. yep. I decided to spend hours slapping this together.
If I got anything wrong or should add anything PLEEEASE lemme know! All ideas welcome!
If you want to see my "research" on this character, let me know in the replies, because there's so much to talk about with him and I'd love to do a character analysis or two, I couldn't put much about his personality or source posts in this because it's just a drawing guide!
Link to all the full images
Transcript and close-ups of the text on the image: (May be in a strange order)
Fresh was created by @loverofpiggies (CQ)
Main Outfit:
YOLO sunglasses
Backwards propeller cap
Pink Polo shirt
Crayola Jacket
Gold Tooth
SWAG fannypack
Convertible Zip-off pants
White Heelie shoes
Pink socks
He has thick eyebrows to emote! (The eyebrows are usually depicted with black hair but one human design has eyebrows that match the pink hair color!)
The bag says SWAG on it
His glasses say YOLO by default, but the letters can magically change mid-scene...
this design for Fresh is Tall, we dunno how tall but taller than CQ's Sans characters (or just Geno since he's literally sans undertale with some added steps). But his height is just his host's height sooo it can vary.
those (cyan and yellow) shoe details are on the innerside but not outerside
HE HAS HEELIES!
Pink glove cuffs!
his skateboard is inconsistent dont worry about it
Glasses Off:
The host's soul shows up in their left eyesocket
- The soul tends to look unstable (cracks & a sortve stroboscopic effect.. i couldn't think of a better word.) but not in some cases...
It doesn't have to be a white upside-down heart, that's just a reference to an undertale monster soul.
He has a purple substance full of little RADs that emanate from his eyesockets (when his sunglasses are off)
"The soul in Fresh's eyes CAN be cracked. That soul isn't his. it belongs to his host. And.... after a while.... things go bad for the host, and he needs a new one." -CQ
(example of soul with unstable effect with no cracks)
(example of soul with cracks but lacking the effect)
The purple aura(?) can glow and emanate from the eyes when his glasses are on too
i miss this one design specifically. the colors and the SK8 OR B SK8 shirt were peak
I miss the SWAG necklace...
Fresh leaves a rainbow cloud of smoke when he "poofs". Either teleporting him and his host body somewhere or leaving his host behind.
Human Designs:
Fresh can possess humans too.
They all look physically different because they're different people that he's possessing.
Fresh can possess pretty much any body, but I thought I'd show the varied examples of humans anyway
Don't forget the orange jacket flaps! or his hat propeller!
I dunno what's up with the multicolor tongue thing. I think it was extra parasites in the host's mouth? I feel like it was scrapped at some point... but I could be wrong
FURBIES!:
Oh yeah, he also does this: (no image for the bat tho)
"I mean when he fights he pulls Furbies out of his magical fanny pack. takes out a wiffle bat. and hits the furby at his enemies.
And then the furby explodes in a blaze of glory." -CQ
Despite using some furbies as explosives, he seems to 'care' about and treat these two like precious babies:
This one is potentially named McFreshby The Fresh Furbrah (Fresh is mentioned to have one named that, and this is the only other furby he's been depicted with)
It can also do THIS: (roll its eyes back into a spookier look)
This is DJ FurBs. that's all i know about him
The REAL Parasite:
Fresh is actually this little parasite controlling a host body. (if you didn't know that why are you reading this post rn!?! but nah I love new Fresh fans, welcome!)
The main parasite is this purple one with the eyemouth and four(?) tendrils, the other colored tentacles are prrrobably Fresh's offspring (freshmageddon moment?) (I'm not actually sure, I'm just pretty sure they're not part of the main parasite but are parasite tentacles)
You can also see Fresh's five or more purple tendrils here stretching out all over his host's body

pls suggest changes or additions if u have ideas!
That's all!

All Hail the Furby Poster!
Hello everyone!!!
I made a drawing with all the original furbys, furby babies, and shelbys! I made this in the hopes to be printed out and used as a poster for my room. I think it would be silly however if people used it to check off the furbys they have collected! I understand some on here are unattainable, but I couldn’t just leave them out!:( they deserve recognition.
I hope you all like this!!! I tried really hard on it! Feel free to spread it around:) I might consider making it a print if it garners enough attention hehe! I’ve also thought about taking some of my favorites and turning them into stickers! Let me know if that’s of interest to anyone 🌟
