Random spontaneous giveaway time! To enter just post here with the answer to the first question that popped into my head:
Do you have stuffies/plushies/etc, and if so do you have any specific favorite one?

One winner will win 1m ec and one runner-up will win 500k ec, decided by rng. The giveaway will close the end of the 10th and winners should be posted sometime on the 11th (hopefully before noon).
Feel free to ping anyone you think might be interested!

Thank you for hosting! What a fun question! ❤️

I've been an avid collector of stuffies since I was little, and I've always been very attached to them! I love them all so dearly, but my favorite is a tie between two specific ones; one is Snail, a small snail I've had since I was a baby, who's been sewn up many times after being loved so much! The other is Rainbow, a Webkinz bluefadoodle, who I bought when I was 8- she's been with me on every trip I've been on since! She's a world traveler now, having gone to many different places including Italy, Iceland, and Kyrgyzstan! She's a wonderful companion, and even though she's very faded and worn, I still sleep with her on my pillow every night.

@heatherm19 thank you!!

I can’t even fathom being without plushies. They bring me immense comfort, especially my Kirishima pillow. Without it, I get extremely anxious at night. My bed is covered in plush. I collected Tys and have over a thousand stuffed animals from my many years of living. Everytime I pick up a plush at the store, I have to keep them. They look at me. They speak to me. They beg me I swear. Not my fault I spend sm on them. An incredible invention. Every store I walk into I gravitate (to my friends horror everytime) to the plush section. I have many old plushies I’ll always remember like my old build a bear wolf “Woody”, the white tiger plush I found on the side of the road lovingly named “Tiger”, my first plush- a tangled old floppy white cat “Princess” given to me as a baby

My current favorites are my anime meow plush (anime characters as cats lol), my knock off jellycat blue dragon named “Jelly”, and my Bakugo pillow 😸

@heatherm19 Thank you so much for hosting!

I actually don't have many plushies. Back when I was young I had a purple rabbit plush that I carried everywhere, but then my parents threw her away ☹️
at my college in the beginning of the year they give out a dragon plush (mascot) sponsored by build a bear and every year I go and collect one. The build quality has noticeably gone down every year; my first year's plush is definitely the cutest. now that the new school year is starting, i'm looking forward to getting another one. I don't have names for them or anything, i think i just call them year 1/2/3 in my head lol

for my birthday my friend crocheted an adorable little frog plush. its name is just frogey said with a long O haha. i took it to ireland when i went to my first vacation! it's sick
my sister also bought me a bulbasaur plush on my bday this year, and her name is plum. don't mention this to anyone, but she's def my favorite haha. she's always just sleeping, just like me for real!

Thanks for hosting
I love plushies and have around 10, but there is that one that looks like the first dog I had, and everywhere I go, it is always with me. I even called it Gyzmo and nicknamed it Pépère, which were the name and nickname of my old dog 😊

@heatherm19 thank you for hosting!

and yeah, i love plushies! i have two favorites, one of them is a penguin holding a lemon slice and the other is named after a friend (@.gudetama) since she gave it to me for my bday a few years ago 😸

Thank you for hosting!
I have soooo many soft toys ehehe, my favourite right now is the one my grandparents just gave me for my birthday (a very fluffy panda that I haven't named yet!)
Lots of my toys are (giant) pandas but I also have a couple squishmallows and a red panda as well as lions, bunnies, a cow, etc. 😸

@heatherm19 MANY. Too many. I have an army of squishmallows of which my favorite is Perkin the Mothman. I recently got a plush two-toed sloth from the zoo that I named him Fern after the baby sloth that was just born and we got to see (he was soooo precious). And my newest addition is an unnamed capybara that doubles as a heating pad that I got for my bday ❤️
