the greatest thing about the 23rd tenkaichi budokai/world martial arts tournament is that piccolo’s such a giant weirdo, he spends almost the entire thing standing alone on the roof. because... he thinks liking tall things makes him look evil?? he’s deduced if he stands too close to the z fighters he’ll be corrupted by the power of friendship?? he’s pretending to be batman??
literally we get everything from goku and chi-chi getting engaged to tien getting pantsed all with piccolo just 🧍♂️

Don't know how I do it but I forgot Gwima is way, WAY bigger than Grigori (after all, he IS the battlefield in the final level/for his bossfight) but since they both share something in common which is Scim, I'm now imagining a dumb scenario where Scim is reading letters from a mysterious sender and Grigori, being a concerned uncle, asks them what it's about and he has no idea how to respond when Scim says
"Oh, they're from an evil dragon who wants to destroy all of mankind but he thinks I'm the most wonderful person to have ever existed :>"

I rember
There is now three
THREE OF THEM!!!
I saw him in the store and I just. I couldn't leave him there. I figured it was a once-in-a-lifetime find but honestly I'm so glad there's more and that the others were also found and taken home like it warms my heart. I think it's so so human of us to find something like this and still want to keep it despite its flaws.
Mine hangs on the shelf next to the futon in my room, so he's always less than a foot away. He watches me play games :3c

Alternatives to Squishmallow
So as many of you have probably already heard, Jazwares, the company that produces Squishmallows, is donating to charities that support Israeli soldiers and the IDF. They’re also supporting Canary Mission, which has been doxxing people who speak out against Israel. BDS hasn’t called for a boycott against them, but I can’t in good faith spend my money on their products, and I would strongly encourage everyone who enjoys plushies to really think long and hard about if you want to give your money to a company that’s helping support genocide!
But the holidays are coming up, and lots of us enjoy plushies and were fans of Squishmallow, and were planning to give Squishmallows to friends and family this year.
Fortunately, there are a number of great plushie companies out there, and I want to promote some of my favorites in the hopes that folks will get their plushie fix from a source that doesn’t side with Israel. So without further ado:
Fluffnest
Fluffnest got their start on Kickstarter a few years ago, and I adore the round shapes of their PuffPal plushies! My favorite is Pete the Possum, which is probably the best possum plush I’ve ever seen. I’ve also got a beautiful moth from their Kickstarter and I’ve been wanting their bats for ages. They also recently had a Kickstarter for an Animal Crossing-esque video game featuring their plushie characters and it looks fantastic.
Squishables
I can’t get over the plague doctor plushies. They’re so perfect and cute, and they’ve released other variations of them called Alter Egos, like a ghostly version, an alien, or a really sweet cottagecore one! They’ve got a ton of variety, but what I like the most are the fantasy plushies. There’s a lich! There are dragons and demons! Cryptids! Biblically accurate angels! A lot of really fun stuff!
Also they do a lot of great charity work! Right now they’re doing an auction for the Food Bank of New York City.
AfternoonFika
AfternoonFika is a very small business of only three people, but their plushies are extremely cute. They tend to sell out fast, so I recommend following them on social media to stay on top of any restocks! They recently released a line of dinosaurs that are precious, and of course I love their iconic cactus cat and cinnamon bun bunny.
Jellycat
Jellycat has been around since 1999, so they’re the oldest of these companies. They’ve got great designs, a ton of variety, and a lot of their plushies are made to be cuddled on and not just displayed. All three of my tiny nephews sleep with a different stuffed dog from Jellycat. My mom has a sun and several succulents that she uses as decorations. There’s a little something for everyone who enjoys plushies!
If you have any other favorite companies I haven’t mentioned, feel free to add on! I’ve enjoyed Squishmallows for a while now and I’m sad to see their leadership coming out on the side that’s committing war crimes on a daily basis, but this is a good time to discover new favorite plushie companies! And remember, money speaks loudly. Even if BDS hasn’t called for a boycott of Jazwares, it sends a message when sales start dropping for companies that support genocide. It’s a small thing, but the little things we do can add up!
