🎉Dah doo-ay wah!🎉

Hello there! I go by many different names but you can call me TJ or Copic, and this is my Furby sideblog! My main is @enderpearlgurl13 and any likes or replies will come from there!

-I'm 22 and go by they/it/furb (link to furbyself pronouns guide here!)

-I'm the co-host of a system, and this blog was made by our resident Furby enthusiast Way-Loh/Emmet (same pronouns)! Furb and I both run this blog, and sometimes other sysmates join in

-We are white, autistic, and physically disabled among other things. Our activity tends to be sporadic due to our health

-While this blog started out as Furby-centric, it's since expanded to be a general plush and bot blog

-I have over 40 Furbies (not including the McDonald's or Burger King ones because most of those are in storage and I have no clue how many I actually have), most of which are the classic 98 models! I started with two from my grandma and then it snowballed from there

-Furbies are a special interest of mine, and I enjoy studying the different factory codes and the mechanisms! If you have any questions I can certainly try to help! (Disclaimer: I have limited knowledge in programming and circuitry at the moment, so any technical questions might stump me. I am learning more though!)

-I do swear and make inappropriate jokes on occasion, but for the most part this blog is SFW!

-I can and will ramble in the tags, and I'll often ask questions about something that caught my eye (usually related to customizations). Sometimes, though, I don't have anything to say that isn't repetitive or I struggle with my words so I won't leave any comments in the tags. I'm not doing it with any malicious intent!

-I try to give image descriptions for all of my photos, if I miss one tell me and I'll write it up as soon as I can!

Full DNI under the readmore, but overall if you're still following me then you're alright! Until next time!

Fighting the Brain Demons/Affirmations Against "FOMO" in Collecting

  • I am grateful for everything in my collection and love every individual object
  • I am happy to see that other people share a similar passion for my interest
  • I feel proud for others when they get lucky or otherwise obtain something I also cherish
  • Most of the fun in collecting is sharing in joy with others and forming community
  • I am fine to pass up a "good deal" because it means someone else can have that joy. I've had plenty of luck and am happy to share.
  • There is plenty of time to get everything I still want. I don't need it all right away.
  • I don't need an object in my possession in order to admire it. I can make art and share excitement with others.
  • It's important to save spending money up so that when the opportunity arises, I can buy something expensive that I've been wanting for a long time.
  • I love spending time with the objects I already have and photographing, arranging, or cleaning them, as well as taking them places with me.

Furbbs appreciation post: for a friend who left the fandom and changed my life (please read)

thank you for all the love on the recent photos of chiffon and latte ;w; if you see this i just want you to know im holding all your tags and comments close to my heart and sobbing from joy

both were customized by my precious friend @furbbs in 2018... furbbs is long inactive in the furby space but did some of the most gorgeous, in depth and unique customs id ever seen.

i decided to make this post so i can remind people of the incredibly talented person i get to call my friend.

furbbs was one of the first (if not the first) i saw skin an 05 and boom.

they are safe, but i cant pretend i do not miss their presence in this space. i hope to keep their incredible work alive through my photography!

they had to leave due to health issues.

like this WIP they posted... i dont even know how they did this level of detail with dye! 2012s weren't very popular then, either. (Credit)

This sweetie of theirs, too! In general, they did things with dye I STILL cannot comprehend. They'd done custom plush and fursuits before, so I suppose that's how they were so intuitive!

This "confetti baby" custom dyed snowball by them is still unbelievable to me. Genuinely amazing. (Credit)

Latte originally had a custom "furbucks" apron they made. He has a "scent pouch" inside that smells like hazelnut and coffee made from candle melts. (Credit)

aurora was originally a dalmatian furb and was dyed to my liking to look like a cloudy sky. he has so much detail on his eyelids that can't be seen right now as they got stuck open in transit. (Credit)

they even custom made the hair tuft aurora has :") its several fur panels sewed together as dye wasnt working. my heart... (credit)

obligatory mention to my boyfriend (@tiedyefurb)'s custom furby, prince, also made by them. the level of detail is insane

they bought a lot of suspiciously cheap furbies for my boyfriend because he dreamed of owning an angel furby and one was included. the overall price was $12/furby.

the furbies were full of dead bugs, even under their eyelids and in their robot parts. they had dead bug poop in them, they were... really gross.

out of love and perseverance, despite having intense toy empathy and the process being upsetting, furbbs cleaned them all thoroughly. me and my bf have 5 furbies from the lot, 3 customized by them

when i got chiffon, my sun bleached crystal baby, customed by them they let me make so many changes and i made them start over and add little details so many times. i wish id known how special the experience was in the moment

i... cant express how much furbbs means to me and how much joy their craft brings. i think most people probably dont know of them and the thought made me sad. so i wanted to remind people of my precious friend.

if you knew furbbs, consider adding a comment or addition. if you didnt, consider giving their blog a look. maybe rb if you want!

if you read this far, thank you. i want people to remember furbbs time in our community.

(im not crying ur crying)

This is your reminder that the beautiful furbies I get to have are from my precious friend Cai!

There were so many folks from the 2018 furby community who I miss dearly.

Cai is recovering from surgery, so please send your well wishes! He's doing much better lately.

If anyone leaves a comment for him, I'll pass it along!

Tamagotchi Original Case Provides Additional Accessibility

The Tamagotchi community is truly amazing, and always innovating. Yeawrongperson on Reddit recently posted pictures of their prototype for a Tamagotchi Original case that allows them to easily hold their Tamagotchi in their hand due to challenges with their disability.

In the comments of the Reddit thread, Yeawrongperson elaborates that their one good hand is simply too big to comfortable hold the Tamagotchi, and this prototype makes it easier.

The case itself is made using a 3D printer. It case appears to snap onto the Tamagotchi Original and features a pop socket like handle in the back that rests between your fingers. This is an excellent idea that increases the accessibility of the product for those with a disability such as dexterity impairments, and even helpful for those without as it provides more of a grip on the Tamagotchi. You can order one here.

So! I did an experiment and followed both the secondary conditions for Lovelitchi and Momotchi, it seems that it favors the most recent one you do (which in my case was feeding her peaches); of course it could also be random so more testing is needed. She's super cute regardless!

I sent my Shimagurutchi home at 69 years old (nice) and now I have a baby girl! Knowing my pristine record she should grow up to be a Lovelitchi but I might try out the secondary conditions for another girl

Realised i never posted the long furby i made

*checks watch*

...3 years ago...

Anyway this is Kalidescope Spine. She's fully hand sewn and very wonky because of it. She was originally ment to be a standard tube shape but i didn't get enough fabric so she turned into a weird snake. Also i still haven't gotten around to making/buying eyes for her. Please ignore the shitty paint job i was very impatient lol
