[thingsthatsleep]

When I was younger, the only plant I could bring myself to get (in fear of it dying) was a cactus. This, I’ve been told, was perfect for something who was either very forgetful or was away from home a lot, two things that I was. After maybe 4-5 months the cactus died ( not entirely sure about the time frame.) I was always to worried about over watering that I never watered it at all. Love is violence

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!

I always love seeing the names of your ocs in the tags. No clue who these blorbos are, but I sure do know Estel's name

"but I sure do know Estel's name" <- average experience when interacting with me

Fr I'm glad you find it amusing agskdhsk I just love my OCs a lot!! Estel specifically holds a special place in my heart tho <3

So as I mentioned, I have issues with visualization. As such, cat structure was, unsurprisingly, elusive. So I just said eff it and sketched up some pieces that would fit together. They did, everything lined up admirably.

Then I stuffed it. Brace yourself. I knew it would be hilarious but

I feel like I just sewed one of Jumba’s rejects. Now bear in mind that this exercise was meant to help my brain understand how flat pieces would wrap around the form and how they would work proportionally, so that I could make adjustments, so it’s not a failure… as far as my intentions are concerned.

But it’s also an alien cat-ferret so there’s that.

Tinkering with the facial design method used for the squonk, I attempted a cat. This shows promise… in fact, WAY more promise than it should because my crippling inability to manipulate objects in my head means that I expected the lower jaw to be round and wide. I kid you not somehow I honestly thought a strip in this shape:

folded and sewn to itself, would end up round. So by sheer DUMB LUCK I have this catlike face.

I need to get some rest, man. I have no idea how to make the rest of the cat rn anyway.

The circus was quiet, after the dinner. Far too quiet. So quiet, that the recently-dubbed Geminitay was left alone with her thoughts. Which, for the record, was not a very favorable situation given the dangers of mentally spiraling in the digital plane.

She hoped that this was some sort of messed up nightmare. That she’d wake up in a cold sweat, and return back to her dead-end job. A job she hated, really, but she’d rather take that over this.

Gem pinched her arm, and then held her hands in front of her face. Yep. Not a dream.

She sighed and pulled up a mental checklist. Pretending this was a dream would get her nowhere. Might as well begin to process it all, right?

Can’t leave? check.

Trapped in a body that is most definitely not her own? check.

New name because her memory got messed up and she can’t remember any of the important details of her life? check.

Yep. All the signs were there. This was Geminitay’s own personal nightmare, and she was stuck living in it.

Earlier today when she went to check on Ren, Martyn had called this place Hell. and Gem was starting to think he was right. Everything she had seen today, The Void (with the eyes so many eyes that were all watching they were watching-), The Circus that was covered in deceivingly happy colors, the abstracted (unnatural, horrifying, dangerous) form of the so-called “Red King”, the fact that she couldn’t even remember her own damn name-

Not to mention how that “exit” from earlier seemed to be mocking her. Laughing at her feeble attempts to escape. And hell, if Gem’s theories were right, said “exit” was the thing that drove Ren to insanity. The thing the ringmaster had created to try and appeal to everyone’s desire for a way out drove one of his own to Insanity. Pretty messed up if you asked her.

Gem sighed, sinking down into the chair. Honestly, she should have expected this. You can’t be that surprised when the circus’s ringmaster is an AI that has no foresight.

A similar sigh was heard next to her, and she whipped around to see Scott sitting on the floor, the two making eye contact for a moment before he looked away. The plush glanced her beady button eyes to the side, and sure enough, Martyn was sitting across from her. Right. She wasn’t alone. This was fine.

She should say hi, right? She barely knew these people, hell, she had just met them, but it wouldn’t hurt to say hi. This was awkward. The silence was awkward. She was awkward. The tension could easily be cut with a knife. So, Gem did the most logical and reasonable thing to do in this situation. She grabbed the knife and started cutting.

“soooo. What’s the deal with Scar and Grian?” Worst icebreaker ever, Gem! this is the worst one you’ve ever used in your entire life! And sure, you can’t remember most of your life, but still!

Scott seems a bit caught off guard at the question, but recovers quickly. He plucks a star out of his hair, twirling it between his fingers absentmindedly. “Nobody knows. There’s been theories, yeah, but we’ve never figured out what’s going on with those two. Something about a previous adventure. A desert monopoly and a cactus ring, we’ve gathered that much.” the celestial replies, not bothering to spare a glance at Gem as he answers the question.

Martyn sighs. “Scar’s been making sad wet cat eyes at our,” he pauses to do air quotes. “‘ringmaster’ ever since we were thrown into this mess.” The marionette adjusts his position on the bean bag chair, sinking down to Gem’s eye level. “If you’re asking me, i’m tired of it.”

“So something happened with a past adventure and now they’re being all weird about it?” Gem tilts her head slightly, celebrating a little in her mind. You managed to start a conversation with the worst icebreaker known to man! Score!

“They’ve been weird about it for years, but sure, let’s go with that.” the marionette shrugs.

“Maybe it’s trauma. With Scar, at least. Not sure about Grian, is it even possible to traumatize AI?”

“Oh no no no,” A previously unseen jester poked her head over the edge of the balcony above, earning a surprised screech from Gem. “Grian isn’t an AI. He’s human. from our world.” the jester—Pearl, Gem’s mind supplied—hummed.

“Wait, what? but i thought he was-” She felt something hit her plushy body, glancing over to see that Scott had flicked a star into the side of her head. Ow.

“A lot of us thought that, when we first arrived here,” He paused, “Mainly because of his involvement with the circus itself. But over time, his more human mannerisms became glaringly obvious. I’m honestly surprised you haven’t noticed yet.”

“No AI starts wars for no reason.” Martyn commented. “And no AI has an inexplicable fear of being watched.”

“He started wa-??”

“-AI don’t take in other circus members as their own either!” Pearl cuts her off mid-sentence, the jester’s bells jingling as she jumps down from the tower, landing a bit to the right of Gem with an unceremonious fwoomph. “Grian saw us as family, siblings even, when we arrived. Well, me and Jimmy anyways.” Her voice drops to a low whisper, her uncovered eye darting around, making sure that nobody was eavesdropping. “Which was why he was so devastated when Jimmy. uh. abstracted.”

Gem could only nod. She noticed Martyn and Pearl have some silent communication for a moment, Martyn’s expression asking if he could continue. Pearl nodded, and the marionette turned back to Gem.

“It was something we hadn’t dealt with before. Nobody knew how to handle it. we didn’t even know it was possible.” Martyn added, frowning as he did so. The plush deer glanced over at Pearl, who sat in silence. Her gaze returned to Martyn.

“We tried everything we could to bring him back. Nothing worked.” Scott took in a deep breath before he continued. “He became too dangerous. People were getting glitched out left and right. The circus was a mess. And we had to put Jimmy in the cellar because of it.”

Well. That’s quite a bombshell to drop on somebody. Gem couldn’t even begin to imagine what everyone in the circus has gone through. And judging by Scott’s voice and the amount of crossed out portraits in the hall of doors, Jimmy was hardly the only one. Just how easy is it to lose your mind in the digital plane? How easy would it be for Gem to lose her mind? To actively harm the people she’s stuck with, no mercy involved? To be seen as a threat, and get thrown in a cellar with countless others? To experience a fate worse than death? She had to be careful. She had to be careful to never get too close, to always keep tabs on her mind. Because she’d never know when someone would get “abstracted.” She’d never know when she loses someone until it’s too late. She’d never know when she loses herself. Just one more thing to add to the list of reasons why she hates this place-

“Hello! Earth to Gem! Yoo-hoo! Hi! Hello!”

Pearl’s hand was flying in and out of Gem’s vision. The plush shakes her head. Better snap out of it. Dwelling in the possibilities would only make everything worse. Plus, this wasn’t even about her! This was about Jimmy!

“Right! Sorry. What were you saying?” Gem tilts her head as much as her stuffed animal body would let her. Which wasn’t much.

Martyn sighed. “As i was saying, Abstraction has become pretty normal for us nowadays. Yeah, I was a little bit caught off guard by Ren-“

“Extremely caught off guard.” Pearl chimes in.

“Extremely caught off guard, but someone getting abstracted is far from abnormal at this point. We’re used to it.”

“Mm.” Gem nods. “So, Jimmy was the first, right?”

“Yeah. Canary call, first to fall, forever caged in different walls and all that. That’s what They say about it anyways.” The marionette shrugs.

“Who’s They?”

A pause. Pearl, Scott, and Martyn immediately tense. A deafening silence blanketed the room, all eyes on the deer who asked the question.

A few seconds pass.

“Soooo, who wants to go drown in the digital lake?” Scott panickedly proposes. He glances behind himself, seemingly trying to make sure nothing was Watching him.

“Ahaha, I sure do love drowning! Come on guys let’s go like right now-” Pearl blurts out, a fake laugh tumbling from her lips.

Martyn nods. “I can’t wait to go dr-aha-own, byegemseeyoulater-”

The trio of circus members all but ran out of the tent, leaving Gem alone in a confused daze.

“Huh.” Weird.

Surprise for Alina FINAL:Gifts.

Alina's birthday has arrived. The heroes celebrated in the theater together with Alina's parents, singing monsters, animatronics, tims and costumes.

Natalya:I am glad that Alina will have a wonderful gift.

Sergey:Me too.

Alina is sitting with her eyes closed with an exciting smile.

Furcon:Are you worried?

Alina:Very.

Mammott:Don't worry, patience is the main thing.

Cristine:It's already done!

PomPom:Open your eyes!

When Alina opened her eyes, she was delighted to see a large rainbow cake on their theme. Her friends held and carried him singing a song.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Alina Happy birthday to you.

The heroes immediately put the cake on, while Balan and Lance raised Alina to the level of a candle in the form of fifteen.

Wander:(Happily) Come on, Alina, (Takes out the camera, which remains) we're filming.

Alina blew out the candle with a smile and everyone applauded, having managed to take a picture, while two maestros lowered her to the ground.

Carlin:And now, the gifts!

The girls are carrying a pink box with a purple, blue and pink ribbon to Aline. When Alina opened it, she was glad to see the bracelet in her and the girls' palette.

Alina:(Happily) A bracelet on the theme of us.

Cristine:It's a memory of us.

Kikoriki bring Alina a plush round rabbit with a daisy, a cactus decorated with candy wrappers, a statue in the form of a feather, a pink comb, a souvenir in the form of a pumpkin with a worm, a souvenir of piano keys around a note, a stretcher, a globe and finger lanterns.

Alina:(Happily) It's just like you. (Everyone was handing out gifts and it was the turn of her close friends BWW. She immediately opened 14 gifts with a smile) A mask, a water pistol, a basket, a dolphin bracelet, a brooch with butterfly, a wooden bird, a plush cat, a book of rules of chess games, a snow globe, a music box... (Music is playing "Together") from my favorite song, the picture where Leo and Emma and I go to the wonderworld, a box with a medical and a a cleaning vest. It's like you're in their place.

Irina:We have prepared a gift for you too.

She and Max give Alina origami in the form of a pink lioness holding a heart.

Alina:(Happily) Thank you.

Balan:But that's not all, because there is still one gift.

When he clicked his finger, a new world with the icon 13 appears near chapters 2 and 11. The platform was decorated with lilac walls stained with paints, caramel trees with cotton candy instead of leaves and figurines.

Alina:(Happily) I have my own world.

Emoji:(Happily) And our new home.

Balan:So what are we standing for? Forward.

Everyone immediately enters Alina's stage and admires her beauty. The lands were separated and platforms were flying. Each one was pink, blue, yellow and green.

SpongeBob:How very nice it is here.

Thump Pink:(She tries the barrel) And the trees are made of caramel.

Thump Brown:(Trying cotton candy) And cotton candy instead of leaves.

Bon Bon:And the walls are merrily stained with paints.

Jester Jump:(Jumps to the figures) And figures!

Alina:(Happily) I don't even know what song I'm going to have.

Leo, Emma, Fiona, Haoyu, Attilio and Bruce came up to her.

Leo:No need to guess, we've already thought it through.

Emma:Only the new costumes need to be shown.

14 friends stood in one place and everything went out while the spotlight was shining on them.

Alina:(Happily) I know.

Song "Together" from BWW.

[Leo, Fiona and Haoyu]

When we're together, feels so right

[Emma, Attilio and Bruce]

When we're together, it's nice

[Alina]

This is the place where I can be totally

[Alina, Leo, Emma, Fiona, Haoyu, Attilio and Bruce]

Honest

When we're together, feels so right

When we're together, it's nice

Now one can take your place, yeah you know that much is true, oh

It's you

After the song, everyone applauded.

Fiona:We are glad that we liked it ourselves.

Haoyu:Very much so.

Alina:This is the best birthday ever.

Later, the characters ate cake and talked.

Krash:It was a great birthday. We need to arrange it somewhere else.

SpongeBob:But in fact, it's true that the gifts are us. Friends.

Alina:And of course...

Heroes:Together, stronger, hurray!

To be honest, I felt a lot of empathy about the very first post of the rules when I noticed "Personal". Don't worry about not having time (I'm talking about fan art), this is normal. I'm just empathizing.

Happy birthday to me!!!
