#I'm a sucker for chibi dinos

[silly-little-guy-and-co]

Let me tell y'all the story about how I became incredibly emotionally attached to a bright orange stuffed dinosaur because of Disco Elysium (kind of.) I was at Shopper's Drug Mart with my friends and we saw these matching dinos, there was a teal brachiosaurus, a lime green t-rex, and an appallingly orange triceratops. I immediately gravitated towards the triceratops because he was chibi and adorable, so we all decided to each get a dino.

We bought them and paraded around my neighborhood, but then it came time to name them. Everyone figured out a name for their dino except for me. We then walked into a dollar store and my friend purchased an itty bitty prybar which gave me an idea. You see, a good friend of mine who I happen to have a massive crush on introduced me to Disco Elysium a few days prior and I, for reasons unknown even to myself, really loved the prybar. I cherished that digital prybar like it was my own flesh and blood, and the tiny one that my friend kept in his hands was a reminder of that former joy. I held my little dino in front of my face and crescened him Kim, after Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium because he's orange, like Kim's jacket.

I sent a photo of Kim to the good friend whom I have a massive crush on and he was delighted that I named my dino after a character he introduced me to. We all agreed to bring our dinos to rehearsal for our school musical -which we were all in- the next day and I showed Kim to my good friend and he loved him, and especially loved the fact that I named him Kim. I brought Kim to every show after that and he became a sort of mascot for the play, making an appearance in the show, and everyone loved the dinos but Kim was definitely my crush's favourite. We declared that Kim is our son, and sometimes I would puppeteer him while he recited Kim Kitsuragi quotes in a very solid impression. One night he even brought his little Survivor slugcat plush and the two stuffed animals got married. Now Kim has been upgraded to Bed Time Plush status and I love him so much.
