I have a couple of stuffies that I doodle like mascots a bit from time to time. They mean things to me, but also it’s a lovely coincidence that they just match & coordinate so well.
Rum
When I was in 4th grade, I got this bear as a gift to a friend who I had made. She was moving away, cross country. I was going to miss her, so I got this bear for her to say goodbye. For some reason or another, I got embarrassed & ended up not giving it to her in the end. I didn’t name him until I got to late middle school-early high school, when I decided to just take him in. I try not to hold back my feelings for people anymore. Rum’s been with me ever since as a trusted companion. Thanks Rum.
Bagel
I joined a forum in High School & made a friend. Or more specifically, they ‘adopted’ a newbie to the forum. They’ve always been very kind, patient, and supportive of me & my art. It was one of the few moments of peace in my life & one of the few times I’d been gifted anything physical outside of my family. Now Bagel & Rum are inseparable BFF’s.
Thank you for Bagel. <3
