Fidget Toy (Story: PeppermintParchment; Art: babbehteef)

“If they are toys, it can’t feel pain, right?”

I love their portrayal of someone suffering from OCD and Trichotillomania, and how the fluffy in the story is just treated like a disposable toy. If you haven’t read the story yet, I highly recommend checking it out.

I swear that one line detailing Fidget trying in vain to fight back with “strongest sorry hoofsies” was visceral
I love it

Alas, Fidget Toy’s strongest sorry hoofsies probably felt like tiny pats to Trisha’s fingers.

Trisha was just a child who got bored of Fidget Toy once she got bored of him and he had served his purpose. You can’t expect all kids to want to break their worn-down toys before dumping them in the trash.

Surströmming can be nice.

Describing the taste of surströmming can be a challenge. It’s intensely salty, with the tang of fermentation and a deep, underlying fish flavor . Some liken it to a very mature cheese or a robust blue cheese, but with a fishy twist.

ngl i’d fw this.

[Edit: idk why the system auto-removes quotes and replies. Is there a setting to tweak to fix this?]

Theoretically they cannot feel pain, they only do what their programming says, although this is still up to the author.

Yeah, and you don’t just grab a slab of it and neck it down. You have it on a piece of hard tack, with lots of other condiments.

But that isn’t good for youtube clicks.

I find it cute when fluffies cover their eyes to shield themselves from pain or fear
