#plesiosaur plushie

[tj-crochets]

Giant plesiosaur is done! My dad says the plesiosaur doesn’t have eyes because he’s “one of those cave plesiosaurs”

He’s about four feet from nose to tail and so so soft!

Knit plesiosaur plush by Best Years, bought from a little fairtrade gift shop in Paisley in January 2024. I got the bead necklace for it there too.

JEFF! JEFF! JEFF!

So the success of this Kickstarter has empowered me to finally gather a google doc of signatures for everyone who might buy a Jeff plush as part of a future campaign. Because many people have asked over the years and all I can ever tell them is "I don't think there's enough interest to justify it."

So I'm gonna find out once and for all if that's false 😤

If you would ever consider getting a plush of this terrible wonderful plesiosaur from my terrible wonderful webcomic, sign up at the form HERE! There are nearly 100 people already interested so maybe... maybe... 💗

5 8 and 12!!

5. What features would your Perfect Treehouse have (realistically or not)? Hmm, waterproof ceiling, and also it ought to be waterproof overall so there’s no mold. Maybe curtains. Something soft to sit on like a sofa or mattress, but I’m also not really sure if that could handle moisture and develop mold? I may be thinking about this too realistically TToTT If it can be as unrealistic as possible I want it to be waterproof all over and also perhaps keep out the gnats and mosquitoes! And also a minifridge would be epic.

8. What underrepresented creature do you most want a plushie of? Channeling my inner child here, marine reptiles! I desired nothing more than a plesiosaur plushie as a young girl, I even formulated plans of how, if I could ever obtain a long-necked dinosaur plushie, I would tape on paper to its limbs to make them look like flippers and therefore make the whole animal look like a plesiosaur. Pliosaurus was another one I craved very very deeply, but that one I did manage to replicate with a Tyrannosaurus rex toy by.. you guessed it, taping green paper to its limbs to make them look like flippers. This particular toy had a disproportionately large head and arms and nonexistent legs, so the illusion was quite sound! I think child me would’ve flipped if she ever saw an actual plushie of her favourite reptiles, I think we really really need aquatic reptile toys in the world to satiate the thirst of water-and-reptile fans such as myself.

12. What's your favorite type of seashell / beach forage? Besides cockles, I like collecting the sand itself! Some places have very unique sand, either by colour or grain size or shape.

where did your idea of making dragons pseudosuchians come from?

Obsessed with Pseudosuchians basically!

I really really really like them. Dinosaurs used to be my main fixation, and I was like "ew. that's not a dinosaur" about plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, poor Dimetrodon, even my beloved pseudosuchians. I was a dino girl. Dinosaur lunchbox to school, watching Jurassic Park on repeat with my dinosaur plushies all in a row. Then obviously I loved dragons too.

Later in life I started to branch out; I started to enjoy all folklore, not just dragon folklore, and all prehistoric life, not just dinosaurs. And something really connected when I looked at pseudosuchians; big cool toothy reptiles. I decided "yeah actually, add them to the pile of things I am passionate about".

Pseudosuchians are a lot less popular than dinosaurs and I really want to highlight them as being COOL. Then I got into speculative evolution and the two things sort of fell together. Dragon folklore is usually about a large reptile guarding a body of water; the wyrm in the well, the dragon king under the sea, Naga Kaliya in the Yamuna river, the monster in the loch; and in the real world the 'large reptile guarding a body of water' is an alligator or crocodile! It just fit together very well!

Gus Dino or Gus Plesiosaur

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all I realized I have the right colors of fabric (or close enough) to make the gavle goat (gavlebock?) in plushie form, but how big should I make it? And should I make it floppy and cuddly (the small version probably with my floppy okapi base pattern) or attempt to make it able to stand up on its own, but that would make it less cuddly? I'm leaning towards floppy and cuddly, bigger than the okapi, but smaller than the plesiosaur

Time to go to the aqua zoo! Along with smol snek!!! Who has the most devious of plots. Hehehe.

Another suggestion from @bobasriduur! You got lots of good ideas, my friend. Thank ya for all the help!

And you can send me ideas as well! Just comment down below!

Nagito pet the head of his tiger and plesiosaur plushes in his terrarium with a smile. He tried to make sure that they were always clean and presentable, even though only he and Hajime were going to see them. But he still did it, as he loved his space and possessions to be clean.

He was grateful that Hajime also tried to keep his apartment clean. He wasn’t sure what would have happened if his human was a messy person. Seeing the mess and not being able to clean would have driven him crazy. But he was fortunate, a fact he reminded himself of every day.

Currently, Hajime was on his bed, typing stuff on his laptop. The naga wasn’t sure exactly what he was doing. Could be homework, could be something else. It didn’t matter too much to him, as he was at an angle where he could watch him work. And he could see Hajime’s expression change every so often from the comfort of his terrarium with his stuffed animals. It was wonderful to witness.

But he would admit that he had a bit of a selfish desire. He wanted more; more stuffed animals to fill his area. But he wasn’t exactly sure what he wanted yet, and he didn’t want to drain Hajime’s wallet. So he would have to grow his collection with strategic moves over time.

Luckily for him, a potential opportunity presented itself to him. “Hey, it looks like there’s an aquarium nearby. There’s a sale on tickets. Want to go?”

“An aquarium? That’s like the zoo, right? But just for aquatic animals,” Nagito asked, getting excited. Not just because of the potential of new plushies, of course. He actually was interested in learning more about the world’s species. And anything he did outside the apartment with his human was fantastic.

“Yeah, that’s right. I’m assuming you are on board with this. We can go tomorrow afternoon.” Hajime glanced over top of his laptop to see the naga, a half-smile present.

“Yes! I’m excited to go!” Nagito replied, hugging his tiger’s neck in happiness. Tomorrow, yes, he could wait that long. An adventure awaited, and he looked forward to it.

~~~~~~~~~~

Time passed. And soon, the new day was upon them. Which meant that their plans could commence.

This conclusion was running through Nagito’s mind as he laid coiled around the human’s neck while he traveled to the aquarium. He didn’t bother to try and hide, knowing that he was safe to be out and in sight. And everyone around them were being respectful, with no one trying to approach to ask questions. He watched with observant eyes as Hajime walked, interested in all the sights they passed. But none could compare to the actual aquarium building. Decorations depicting coral reefs and some of its inhabitants were on display, indicating what could be found inside. The walls of the building were also painted with marine life. It was all so colorful. He couldn’t wait to see these animals in real life.

And maybe perhaps get one in stuffed animal form, but that would come later.

For now, he gazed at everything. He hardly registered Hajime presenting the tickets and speaking with the other humans. He was too enraptured with looking at everything.

Then they entered the first room with the giant tank.

Every ounce of air was stolen from his lungs when he first laid eyes upon it. It was so enormous, with all sorts of colorful creatures happily swimming around. So many shapes and sizes. It was nearly impossible to count every individual animal inside. “It’s so beautiful. I could watch this for hours,” Nagito whispered.

Hajime heard him and replied. “I could, too. It’s truly something special.”

The two fell silent as they watched the fish swim around for a good ten minutes. But eventually, Hajime tapped on the green tail. “Hey, there’s more areas we can go see. There’s a lot more animals they have living here.”

Nagito looked up at his human, shocked. “They have more? More than what’s in here?”

Hajime grinned, amused by his reaction. “Oh yeah. There’s a lot more. Let’s go see them.”

And so they left the enormous tank behind to see the others who were in their own enclosures. And Nagito was astounded by every single one. The jellyfish that floated around in their cylindrical tank. The horseshoe crabs that he got to touch. The eels that poked their heads out of their pots to look at him. The turtles, both freshwater and saltwater varieties, and their colorful shells.

But none impressed Nagito more than the octopus. The way it moved and looked were already impressive enough, but it also changed its patterns and colors right before their eyes! He didn’t think that was actually possible! “What an amazing creature. So unique and talented,” he found himself whispering, entranced by the octopus.

He felt Hajime move his head to glance down at him. And he also felt the muscles in his neck move as the human smiled. “It really is. It’s one of my favorite sea creatures.”

“I think it’s mine, too.” Nagito squeezed his coils in excitement at a new thought. “I wonder if they sell stuffed animal versions of the octopi. What colors would they choose to make them?”

Hajime caught on. “I bet you are going to ask me to buy you an octopus plush. Am I right?”

Nagito looked up without an ounce of shame. “We simply must bring home a souvenir to help remind us of our time here! And I choose to get an octopus. Simple as that.”

The brunette rolled his eyes, though he still was smiling. “I swear, you are the most spoiled naga.”

Having just gotten confirmation that he was indeed getting his prize, he thanked the human with a neck hug. “Perhaps I am. But I am nonetheless grateful to my Hajime for his kindness and generosity.”

He wasn’t fooled by the human’s indifferent huff, as he could feel the skin heat up under his touch. “Fine. We can go to the gift shop. But only one thing, got it?”

“Understood.” Nagito rose and gave Hajime’s cheek a nuzzle. “Thank you.”

The human certainly turned red at that, making the people around them grin at the sight. Hajime tried to calm himself down and walk away, ignoring the knowing giggles of the other visitors. He had managed to make the blush mostly disappear by the time they arrived in the gift shop. Several different types of items were for sale including clothing, home and lawn decorations, toys, and books. But Nagito had his sights trained on a specific section. The rows and rows of stuffed animals. And to his delight, there were indeed some octopi for sale.

But then came his dilemma. Which color should he choose? There were so many options, but he was limited to one. So what color did he like the best?

As he agonized, he was barely aware that Hajime was moving, arm stretching to grab something. He didn’t have to wait long until the reason was revealed.

“This one was kinda hidden on top. I wonder why it was in a different area. Oh well, I suppose it doesn’t matter. What do you think?”

And now, before his eyes, was an octopus with rainbow fabric. The colors swirled and mixed perfectly, creating a beautiful pattern. “That’s the one. I shall choose this octopus,” Nagito declared, reaching out to pet the head.

“Alright. It’s yours,” Hajime replied, beginning to head to the register. “You will have to make room for it in your terrarium. Better start planning.”

“Oh, don’t you worry. I already have a plan in mind,” the naga said cheekily. His tail tip swayed with happiness as he watched the rainbow octopus be lowered into a paper bag. Yes, he was pleased with today. New memories and a new friend had been made. He couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

4, 21, 49 :)

I believe this was for the "weirder asks" game - thank you for sending some! ^^

4. which cryptyd being do you believe in? Hmmm, these are always such tricky things because in Finland we have never had any proper cryptids, and I can't really say much about the other countries' cryptids because I have never been to anywhere where there allegedly are some. I think the closest to one in Finland has been that lion that was seen in Eastern Finland back in the day but which was never found, so no one knows if there was an actual lion on the loose here or not. I think I want to reply to this with: Loch Ness Monster. Even tho I don't know if I really believe in any kind of cryptid to be honest, but this one is probably The one I know the most about. It also used to feed my dinosaur hyperfixation when I was younger, because how cool would have that been if there still was a Plesiosaur or related alive somewhere when all dinosaurs are supposed to be extinct. So I don't know if I can say I'd exactly believe in this either, but it'd be still very fascinating to know what is there in the depths of Loch Ness even if it was not a real dinosaur-like monster.

21. something you’ve kept since childhood? Oh no, I have kept SO MANY THINGS since my childhood! :DD But the first thing to come to my mind is: a tiger plushie I bought from the zoo in Helsinki when I visited it for the first time ever when I was either 7 or 8! So that was in either 1998 or 1999. I have several other plushies from my childhood too, but this one used to be the most important one to me because tigers are my favorite animal.

49. can you skip rocks? Hmm, I don't know actually. I think I have tested it sometimes, but I don't know if I have ever succeeded. I'm actually not 100% sure if you can find the correct shaped rocks that easily in Finland, and if it's easier near the sea or if you can find those also near lakes. I anyway don't remember ever finding that flat rocks so I genuinely do not know, if I can skip rocks or not. Fun fact: skipping rocks in Finnish is called "to throw bread". I don't know why, but that's what it is called as here :p
