Alright, time to rant a bit about something personal to me: Plushies.
I love 'em.
As a kid, I collected a lot of them, things I found cute, things from movies I liked, etc. I feel that is pretty normal for a kid, though I was certainly a bit more extreme about it than some others. I still own my favorite plushies from my childhood, Simba plushies from the Lion King. Not too weird, I think a lot of guys probably own something from a long time ago that they hold on to just to remember those times. Unlike most guys, however, and even unlike most girls my age...I never really got out of plushies.
I would see a cute one and buy it for my little sister, for years and years. Sure, it was partially because I wanted to spoil her, but it also was because I thought the toys were cute myself. Even now I buy her things like that, even though she is hitting her teen years, we both share our love of things with cute faces and tiny, floppy limbs.
A few years back I bought myself a Hanyuu plushie at a con, and slept with it every night for a year or so, and then put it on a shelf. Then, last year, I bought a Patchouli fumofumo, and sat her on my bookshelf..soon, though, I found myself unashamed of my hobby. I now have quite a few plushies, and I seek them out more frequently than figures.
What business does a 22-year old man (who is decently masculine in most other regards) have collecting, and worse, sleeping with, plushes? I don't really know. It is just comforting to come home to them. After a long, stressful day at a job I hate, I come home and say "I'm back, girls" and even my worst mood brightens just a tiny bit. When I'm happy or depressed, I share my mood with them in different ways. They sit on my lap when I'm online or gaming. They are like friends, family, and good luck charms all in one.
Needless to say, I have no plans on stopping my love of plushies no matter the answer, but I'm interested in what you guys have to say! Comment or vote in the poll!
