Our plushes
Here are some pictures of the plushes we own and the stories behind them!
Aqua is a mosasaurus, an aquatic reptile that lived during the Cretaceous Period. They belong to Venn and are one of eir objectum partners!
Atlas is a gift that Ford gave Vyvian while x was self-shipping in 2022. He is named after the star in the constellation Taurus, and the significance of the cow is both in the common association between them and aliens and in the song "Make Me Moo" by the Residents (which Vyvian and Ford listened to together on loop for a while).
This is Beepis! They were the first gift Ford ever got Vyvian.
Our partner system loves both cats and bees, and we decided we needed to get this plush because of them. We were worried we wouldn't be able to get it because it was out of stock on the website and they were running low in the store, but when we went to see if they had it, it was the last one in stock!
Our toast, egg, and boba plushes from Aurora Palm Pals don't have names, but they're special to us, and especially Vyvian. When Vyvian was self-shipping very hard with Ford Prefect, ey would imagine that Ford got em gifts, especially plushes.
The boba and the egg were rewards that Ford gave Vyvian for milestones related to reducing weed use, and the toast was a reward for the same but given to Vyvian by Venn virself (as vi had split by that time).
Inky is an inky cap mushroom plush that we have because someone from our partner system is an anthropomorphic fungus, specifically this variety.
This is the plush we got to represent our girlfriend in our partner system! Her system was not out of dormancy at the time, and we have since gotten plushes to represent other members of her system, as well as the system overall.
Faust got Lloyd as a present for Mag in 2016. At the time, Mag was very fond of a YouTube movie reviewer called the Cinema Snob (who reviews bad horror movies), who owns a Siamese cat named Lloyd. We took Lloyd to university with us frequently and kept his head stuck out of our backpack, which people found very fun of us.
Lyle's name is said as "LEE-el" and is short for "Belial". He was the first demonic plush we ever owned! Onyx is very objectum for him.
Proto is named after Prototaxites (a prehistoric fungus) and was the first plush Venn ever got for emself! We got it from mosieposieco on Etsy.
The Squishable mini Ramen plush was another gift from Venn! He and Vyvian got it at the Squishable store near where we live when it first opened.
They were on a date to celebrate their one-year anniversary and had been considering ordering the ramen plush from the website, but were surprised to find a new Squishable store at the mall we went to! Furthermore, it was on sale for 1/3 of the price it cost online, so Vyvian and Venn got it for each other both to celebrate their anniversary and a recent weed detox.
The one on the right (Messenger of Death) reminds us of us, and the one on the left (Gamer) reminds us of our partner system!
We got Sabbatha in 2021 when we were getting into paganism and mythology. We associated her with Bast from the Kemetic pantheon and view her as protective and familial. She protected us a lot during the religious psychosis of 2021.
This plush is beloved by our Kemetic pagans, our Betelgeusians, and our sun worshippers alike. The Kemetic pagans like it because of the relevance of the sun to Egyptian culture/mythology (many of our goddesses are known as the Eye of Ra), our Betelgeusians associate it with their home star, and our astrolaters who worship the Sun like it for obvious reasons.
This is another Squishable we have because of our partner system! They split an alter who starts his messages with the tombstone emoji, and shortly after that, this plush was released.
