Anyone who's an adult and a plushie collector. Do you still play with your stuffed animals/have you gone back to playing with them? And I mean full on playing, not just taking them someplace to take photos.
I have an urge to start playing with my plushies again, but idk if I could actually do it. Atm my version of "playing" with them is taking pics, or staring at them while imagining the stories I want to tell with them. Or I'll pick one or two of them up and wiggle their limbs and stuff around a bit then put them down back. It still feels...silly? I guess? To play with them? But I still want to. But the part of me that cringes holds me back. So it'd be nice to know what some other collectors do!

My thoughts on Wind
Finally finished reading book 4 of A Starless Clan. I've got a lot of opinions on it, as expected. It's going to be long and rambly. There will be major spoilers under the read more. My thoughts might only make sense to me so I understand if nobody wants to read this, but I really want to get out my feelings on this book
Shout out to @shadowfern for sending me the link to the pdf! Tysm again!!!
Let's start this off by talking about the best girl in the whole world: Frostpaw. Oh my sweet baby. They really put her Through It this book. She was so right to come forward during the gathering in chapter one to speak out against Splashtail.
But then Duskfur. Oooh my god Duskfur. Literally what was her fucking damage? Frostpaw is her freaking GRANDDAUGHTER. But I guess because Frostpaw mentioned Curlfeather being an evil mastermind, Duskfur was pissed about it? Which is understandable. Who wants to hear that their child is a murderer, someone who organized the death of important figures in your society?
But then she goes on to accuse Frostpaw of being a liar and a manipulator because *gasp* she was a manipulated teen who couldn't figure out what was right and what was wrong!? She was tricked by Curlfeather into being a medicine cat, as Splashtail reiterates. She does eventually get real visions, though. However, because she had a few false visions, nobody will believe her about them. But like. Frostpaw is a kid essentially, with not a lot of training yet, and who doesn't have much of a guide when it comes to visions because Mothwing doesn't get them. How was Frostpaw supposed to distinguish what was real and what was a dream all on her own?
Regardless Duskfur is a bitch in the first chapter who backs up Splashtail and his condescending speech about how much Frostpaw had been through and how much of a poir little meow meow she is because of it
And then she proceeds to get exiled. Her clanmates know she's been through so much, and yet they allow her to be cast out from her home away from the support of her family
A family which comprises of mostly bastards at this current moment, including Duskfur, Icewing, and Podlight. Shout out to the do-nothing siblings Graypaw and Mistpsw though
I hate the characterization of Icewing in this first chapter because she doesn't do much. Podlight is another creature entirely. He's so vile. Gives off evil henchman vibes, almost on the same wavelength as Darkstripe
I'll come back to those cats later, let's get back to talking about Frostpaw. After getting exiled she has to frantically look between the leaders to see who might take her into their clan, so she doesn't become a rogue. Squirrelstar almost agrees but because she doesn't want to cause trouble she hesitates (we'll also get back to this characterization later). Tigerheartstar instead offers Frostpaw a temporary place in Shadowclan
If I had a nickle for every time Tigerheartstar took in an exiled Riverclan medicine cat I'd have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot but its weird it happened twice
I love the dynamic between Frostpaw and Shadowsight. I've seen people shipping them but I literally cannot picture them being romatic with each other. I get big brother little sister vibes from them. I feel like Puddleshine's wariness of Frostpaw was dumb, though.
Puddleshine did eventually come around, when he snuck to the moon pool with Frostpaw to see if Splashtail would go to get his nine lives. I hate how he didn't start believing Frostpaw until Riverstar appeared though. Splashtail and Podlight sitting around, laughing about how useless Starclan is and how they're literally at the moon pool just to say they went, doesn't convince Puddleshine that Frostpaw was telling the truth. But Riverstar hopping over their heads unseen just to wink at Puddleshine and Frostpaw convinces him. Ok.
Great job guiding the living btw Riverstar. Clearly not doing anything or saying anything beyond that one tiny scene was helpful
Anyways, Puddleshine, finally believing Frostpaw, goes with her to tell Tigerheartstar about everything was great. Actually I hate to say if but I really liked Tigerheartstar this book. He was literally the only tolerable and competent leader throughout the entire thing. Even better than Squirrelstar
Speaking of Squirrelstar. Oh boy.... What the hell did they do to her?
I expected the Erins to do one of four things with Squirrelstar. 1) Kill her by the end of this book (and say she lied about getting her nine lives). 2) Make her a very aggressive leader. 3) Leave her character alone and write her as she has been. Or 4) make her incompetent and have her be the first deposed leader
Instead, they made Squirrelstar the most do nothing leader imaginable. To the point where other characters in the text itself were mentioning how she's doing nothing at all, and how unexpected that is. Squirrelstar states she doesn't want to shake things up because of being a new leader. She's trying to gain the other leaders' respect
Which I could understand. If this was any other character in the entirety of warriors, minus Firestar. Squirrelflight was always the type to be headstrong doing things her own way, to follow her heart, and do what needs to be done especially for the good of others. Squirrelstar even mentions that about herself! "As Squirrelflight I'd agree with you. But as Squirrelstar I'm afraid I can't." There is literally no difference though, she's still the same cat!!!
I understand she's also trying to protect Thunderclan and keep her warriors safe. She's responsible for all these lives. But she was responsible for them before as well! She was deputy ffs. A clan deputy is responsible for the lives of their clanmates as much as a leader is. Squilf even acted as temporary leader, and still did not behave like this at that time! I don't understand why she had to be written as someone too hesitant to act because of fear of being judged. Squilf was literally never like that before until this book. She's basically a new character and I think I hated this most of all out of everything else in Wind.
Actually none of the leaders except Tigerheartstar want to act in this book. Squirrelstar and Harestar both want to wait to stop Splashtail until Riverclan is ready to stop him. In the old books though, if there was something going on in the other clans the leaders didn't like, they'd fight about it (for example: how Shadowckan and Winclan teamed up to raid Thunderclan after discovering they were housing Brokentail as their prisoner. Or how Lionclan first formed to stop Tigerstar from ruling over all the clans.)
Also now that I mention fighting, there are literally no battles waged in the entire book. The closest thing we get is the battle training in Riverclan camp where Splashtail was forcing cats to fight each other aggressively with claws out.
And the most violent 2 scenes in the book were when a tree fell on Winclan's nursery, and Splashtail killed Harelight in front of his clan because Harelight dared to have a different opinion than him
Harelight deserved better tbh. He was one of the best characters in the story and he barely had a part to play. Rip king
Let's talk about some other characters now. Nightheart for instance. He was actually also tolerable in this book. I like how his character has progressed. He's growing up and isn't as much of a jerk like he was in the beginning, good for him.
I liked his relationship with Wasp and Waffle. Though I'm surprised neither of them insisted on following Frostpaw. Especially with how determined Wasp was to become a Riverclan cat. I'm shocked he didn't loyally follow Frostpaw wherever she went due to her connection to Riverstar. Instead both cats went with Nightheart to Thunderclan which was fine for a while
Nightheart makes for a good mentor, surprisingly. I like the way he taught Wasp and Waffle about things. Though I don't like that he was chosen to be Wafflepaw's mentor. It makes sense, but like other characters said, the apprentices could have gone to more experienced cats than Nightheart and Co.
The relationship between Nightheart and Sunbeam is cute here and there but their chemistry is almost non existent. Sunbeam has more chemistry with Finchlight, Bayshine, and Myrtlebloom than Nightheart. Finchlight should steal Sunbeam from Nightheart sorry not sorry
Sunbeam's turn now. Once again her chapters felt the weakest compared to the other POVs. She doesn't really bring anything new to the table, her perspective shows nearly the same things Nightheart's does and her personality is kind of generic. The only thing she has is mommy angst, and love for Nightheart. She worries about her family in most of her chapters, when they don't really want her around unless she helps them and/or stays with them. Berryheart is especially mean towards Sunbeam. She feels betrayed, sure, but that's still her kid who's trying to heal the disgusting infection that slowly killing her. Look at that Sunbeam's so uninteresting I started talking about Berryheart instead. Let's dive into that more
I didn't think Berryheart would have that much influence over the plot anymore tbh. But this stupid cat is gripping it tightly with the tips if her grubby little paws refusing to let go. Throughout most of her mentioned moments she's slowly wasting away from a nasty wound she obtained by being too stubborn to get off the road. She refuses treatment from Sunbeam because she didn't agree with mommy dearest and follow her to exile so now Berryheart's basically disowned Sunbeam (its never stated but implied by her behavior).
Another reason Berryheart refuses medicine is because they are "clan herbs" and she refuses anything from the clans. Although idk how she was able to tell the herbs came from a clan vs Sunbeam finding them on her own but whatever. Then several chapters later she's magically joined Riverclan and proclaims to be one of the most loyal cats there??? Idk how Berryheart went from being a diehard Shadowclan loyalist, to a bitter rogue hating all the clans, to a Riverclan cat. Sunbeam thinks it might be due to Berryheart fighting to survive but by the time she's shown in Riverclan she seems almost back to full health. Maybe she's planning to destroy the clans now, from the inside out, starting with Riverclan. Who knows. I guess we'll find out in the next book or two. I'm disappointed Berryheart didn't die and that they're continuing on with her as a villain. I'm on the fence of whether I like her being a villain anymore. On one hand, yay a villain who's clanborn and a female. On the other, she's a really annoying and a poorly written villain
Moving on to other, more minor characters: Mothwing Duskfur, and Icewing. We don't see much of them (especially past the first chapter). When we do, though, they're talking to Frostpaw about how right she is and how none of them want Splashtail in power anymore.
This is an especially surprisingly development from Duskfur who earlier was very outspoken about accepting him. The in-story excuse is that Riverclan just wanted a leader finally, and were willing to accept that Podlight suddenly wanted to be a healer and magically had a connection to Starclan which told him that Splashtail was their new ruler. The real excuse is that it's piss poor writing and the Erins make whatever cat do whatever is necessary for the plot, even if that means their personality needs to takes an entire 180 in the middle of the book.
Icewing is still pretty useless in the story, which is a shame because she had a decent roll last book. Mothwing's character stayed somewhat the same, though. She's still kind of mean to Frostpaw. She's sort of a do-nothing, too, but not as much as the leaders. She wants to make a change but doesn't act at first because then Riverclan would be left without a proper medicine cat, which is a more valid excuse for her inaction compared to Squirrelstar's, Tigerheartstar's, and Harestar's.
Lightleap was mentioned in one chapter and she had an attitude. What a tragedy. Blazefire and Dovewing weren't mentioned at all which was a huge loss, because we lovewing Dovewing here, and I just think Blazefire is neat (I like his name, I'm biased purely because of that)
Whistlepaw was really good in this book, as she was in the last. I feel like she was unjustly punished for helping Frostpaw as I stated in this post here, I won't repeat myself about that point again. I liked her during the Windckan chapters, when the tree fell on the nursery. Her mentioning the kit she was trying to save, Leafkit, was her baby sister was sooo nice. The Erins rarely write cats acknowledging younger siblings as such so that was cute. It made the worry and care Whisperpaw expressed during that scene all the better because it wasn't just a medicine cat trying to do their job and save someone. It was a sister desperately trying to get to their sister. Whistlepaw is my second favorite character in this arc next to Frostpaw and not just because of my next point.
Whistlepaw × Frostpaw is the most superior ship in the book, and dare I say throughout the current arc. Their dialog with each other once Sunbeam rescued Leafkit was so gay it was amazing. Like legit their interactions with each other here as well as through most of A Starless Clan have more chemistry than any other pairings do
Also this is random but I feel like either Whistlepaw or Leafkit will get a POV next arc. Probably Leafkit because the writers took the time to describe what she looks like even though Leafkit only appeared for this one scene. Please Erins give us a Winclan POV
I suppose I should talk about Splashtail now. He's a really lame villain tbh. I'm glad we have a clanborn bad guy for a change, but he literally sucks. He wants to be leader because he wants to make Riverclan stronger, great. And then he proceedes to do that by having his warriors beat the shit out of each other to toughen them up and make them seem like the strongest clan. Ok. Idk how that accomplishes anything rn. I'm sure this means Riverclan will get to cause the one fight scene that happens next book, hooray /s
No but seriously I see where this whole evil Splashtail plot is going. He doesn't like Starclan because he doesn't want to listen to what they say or follow their rules. The moral of this arc is going to be that following Starclan is the right thing to do, they are the ultimate good, and anybody who doesn't follow Starclan is a dirty heretic. It's christian religious propaganda and I'm tired of it, but whatever I'm to obsessed with these stupid cats to stop reading
Overall this book was very disappointing and boring. I'm sad to see this arc taking such a boring turn, and I'm worried about what the next books will bring. The arc was so promising and now it sucks, tragic
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Members of the Frostpaw Defense Club rise up!
I give this book 3/10 Stars

Also special shout-out to Cabbage, my small bulbasaur plush. His firm bulb was perfect to use for stretching out and shaping the string for each necklace to make them more elastic and more natural fitting

Do you have any advice on going through and deciding which plushies to keep and which to give away? I have a large collection from my childhood I need to go through and it seems so daunting !
Absolutely! I've got a few tips to give, but it's gonna require a long explanation, so I'm throwing it under a read more. Hope this advice is helpful!!
Firstly you need to consider how much space you have, and determin what you want your collection to be like. Do you only want stuffies of a certain color, or only want to keep specific species? What size plush works best with the space you have? Any brands you don't care for anymore? Are you only looking to keep plushies you'll actually touch and play with? Once you've sorted thru all those factors, you can move on to the next step.
Take a look at what you have in your collection. Don't just take a quick glance either, really study the plushies as you go thru them. Think to yourself, as you look at each; "Do they spark joy? When I look at them, is it as if I'm seeing them for the first time all over again? Would I be sad to not have this stuffed animal anymore?" Once you've considered all the points above, it should make it easier to pick and choose what plushies to keep. Take your time with this process as well, especially since you said you have a large amount of plush. You might get burnt out easily on decision making if you try to go thru them all in one sitting.
If you're struggling with choosing tho (like I have been) then it's time to take up a new perspective. Imagine that all of your stuffed animals were destroyed in a fire. Think about which plushies you'd be most devastated to lose, and which you wouldn't really care about being gone. The ones you'd miss the most are keepers, the rest can be sent off to new homes.
If you have a hard time visualizing this, then putting the plushies you're on the fence about away for a while is a great way to help with a final decision. (I'd suggest storing them for a month or more). Make sure its somewhere you can't see them or easily get to them. That way, you can determine the importance of the plushie's presence in your space. If you're often thinking about certain stuffed animals, even when you can't see or touch them, that's a sign you still have enough of a connection to keep them. It's ok to think about many plushies while they're hidden away. It's also alright to not think about any at all. Eventually you should take those plushies out and go thru the pile again. When you look at them, if it feels like it didn't matter that they weren't around anymore, then you can let them go.
Hoping all of this makes sense. Please feel free to send more asks for better explanations or clarifications tho! Happy plushie sorting, and good luck!!

Really glad I’m getting Princess a tag since the beads kept falling off as I made a collar for Oliver! They both arrived early though so I’m super excited about that
I’m glad they arrived early since yesterday was a really bad day! Princess is definitely a lot different than any other plushie I own but I don’t think it’ll be hard to get used to!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both look really nice with their necklaces! Its a shame Princess' didn't work out but the collar looks perfect on her. It seems like they knew you'd be needing them so they rushed to get to your house quicker. Enjoy your new friends!!

I’m getting a new puppy stuffie and I haven’t decided on a name for her yet so right now I’ve been calling her puppy or princess, my other puppy plushie coming was easy since he’s being named Oliver!
Tumblr media
(Ignore my last ask where I asked what you other puppy's name is going to be I just read this ask lol)
This is such a beautiful webkinz signature. Almost all of them are tbh. She definitely looks like a Princess. But if you aren't satisfied with that name, maybe Dutches, Lady, Diva, or Delilah might pique your interest instead?

🍑!
🍑 tell me about your current favourite comfort object 
Oh boy, oh boy, I get to talk about Soup!!
Tumblr media
My goodest goofiest lil buddy. He's still my favorite comfort item. Who knew that he'd mean so much to me, considering what I originally thought about him when I bought him?
I'm sure I've told the story before, but Soup was bought from a local Goodwill. That day I was on the hunt for webkinz, and found this dog plushie in the middle of it. I actually almost put him back, because he was kind of crusty and I'm not a big fan of neutral colored plush. But his stupid little face compelled me. I knew I'd regret putting him back. So I took him home, washed him, brushed him and ended up falling in love! Also, originally I did not call him Soup. I can't remember what his first name was (Cracker or Cheese or something). But then I thought that Soup was a perfectly goofy name for this silly dog, and it stuck. Now he's my best buddy. I even made him into an OC!
We watch anime together. Sometimes Soup sits on my datemate's shoulder and watches him play video games. We go out places together. Soup's always there to cuddle when I'm sad. He likes to be used as a stim toy, too. Soup's favorite activities are spending time with his cousins (the Soup Cousins), dancing and having his picture taken. Speaking of which, check out this selfie Soup just took
Tumblr media
He's the best friend anyone could ask for!

🍌 what’s your list of dreamies right now?
These guys:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pink whiffer and pokemon center Stufful are especially high on my dreamies list rn. I wanna get every piece of merch I can related to Stufful and I just really love the idea of my precious Soup except pink!
🍍 tell me about a plush you thought you’d never own but found! 
That would be the My Blue Nose Friend China the Red Panda. I never thought I'd get my hands on it, since I live in the US and China in particular is a rarer to find Blue Nose Friend from what I've seen/heard. I searched for her for years. At least 2 or 3.
One day a few months back, I made a Reddit post on r/plushies asking people of the subreddit what their "white whale" is. My answer was China and pink Whiffer as stated above. A kind redditor replied to me soon after with a link to a listing for China!! I was hype but had no money. I sent the link to my datemate and told him to remind me to try and buy her in 2 weeks when I got my next free paycheck (one I planned to use to Christmas shop with). When I went to buy the plush finally, I realized the listing stated it was sold. I was bummed, but that'd happened a couple of times before so I kinda let it go.
That was until a few weeks later, at Christmas, when I opened the gifts my datemate got me. Out of a nice little plaid bag I pulled out China!!! I was sososooo happy. I thanked my datemate profusely. And now the adorable little red panda plushie, whom I've named Lil Vee, is part of my bed squad!
Tumblr media
Here's a pic of her chilling on my drawing tablet :D
Send me fruit asks!!!
