I worked for a long time doing 80 hour work weeks doing hard construction with a hammer that was less than high end. I did this for almost a decade. I now have tendonitis that while manageable irritates me when I sleep. My arms will go numb in the night now, and it’s really annoying. My wife has a shit ton of these stupid pillow animals called squishmallows, and if I sleep with one in between my arms my arms don’t go numb for some reason. So now I have to sleep with these stupid squishmallows like a five year old.
You call them stupid and say they're for five year olds in the same paragraph you say that they are your wife's and she likes them enough to have several.
my partner has all their stuffed animals arranged everywhere and it's really cute and i love it
I only have one plush toy, but I made sure it was the cutest of all animals:
that's fucking adorable
omg
SO CUTE
aw i love him!!! reminds me of my grub from hollow knight plush who talks when you squeeze him. one day the battery is gonna die and he'll just have to talk in my imagination but i've had him for many years and his voicebox is still going.
What the fuck why did no one tell me this was a thing
Please don't misgender people
Those things are cute as fuck and it's okay to say that you enjoy that aspect.
i looked at a cute thing once and my man balls fell off, still think cute is cool?
I have a panda squishmallow that I use. I was going through severe anxiety and panic attacks, and during an attack I reached for it to keep my body from convulsing too hard. Since that day, It hasn't left my bed for several years now, and despite my anxiety much more managed, I find it helps with arm/shoulder numbness too.
