001 // a very bear-y christmas

Xiaolang Li shared a photo. 12/15 near Birch Hills

A general question: has anyone ever received something from Retrospec that was intended for somebody else? Or something you were certain WASN'T yours, even if the ticket said otherwise? Because I do have memories of a bear, but it definitely was not THIS one.

((pretend this bear is 100% handmade and doesn't have the Stieff logo or the name on it's foot, okay--))

[DIDN'T RETROSPEC HAVE THAT FEATURE???]

[me_matey]

[cardcaptured]

Don't call me that.

[...seriously, where did they place the block button on here again??]

[me_matey]

so hey just so u know theres nothing wrong with being a dude and having stuffed animals

[cardcaptured]

I know that!!

I don't mind stuffed animals, but I don't have any need for them. They just take up space.

[me_matey]

damn dude u sound like u need a hug

[cardcaptured]

I do NOT. Leave me alone.

[... actually, he kind of does, for a lot of things. A LOT.]

[me_matey]

hell no this is an emergency u need some super hug stat

where u at im told im a great hugger

[cardcaptured]

I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT??

I don't want your stupid hugs, I just want you to stop bothering me already!

[me_matey]

it is not healthy to be that repressed at ur age

[--May. May please. He's the same age as Sakura and equally as naive. DON'T GO DOWN THIS PATH]

Repressed? Repressed HOW?

[me_matey]

when i was ur age, boy or girl, kids were happy to have stuffed animals. hug em all the time. sleep with em. that is if you could afford one. now u here tryna be too damn adult. sad.

Teddy bears aren't all THAT expensive. [Says the kid whose family has a stupid amount of money]

Besides, I'm thirteen. That's something you'd expect from a third-grader, not somebody my age.

[me_matey]

when u gotta choose between food and toys, everythings expensive

[cardcaptured]

That's not even something you should debate upon. Food is much more important than some silly toys.

[me_matey]

what im sayin is u should feel more grateful. not every kid, 13 or 3 or whatever, gets a chance to have stuff like that, least of all for free.

and trust me, i know grown ass folk who still appreciate a stuffed fuzzy thing to hold onto when they sleep.
