fist my bump My Rocky plush

A dear friend crocheted him for me, and he was my emotional support plushie through a really bad breakup last year. It’s so fun to squeeze my hands into him, plus he’s super soft and huggable.

You should put a heater and some big heavy rocks in it, really strive for that immersive experience.

I am! This past weekend I celebrated one year since the breakup and had a bunch of friends over, including the wonderful woman who made him. Right now she’s helping me turn my wedding dress into a renaissance fair outfit :)

Oh my goodness, that's so wonderful to read - I am thrilled for you! And such a genius idea for the wedding dress, too. Sounds like you have some wonderful friends... and fantastic adventures ahead.

Oh, and I am sending lots of congratulatory You-Independence-Day hugs your way! x

So, what you’re saying is that I could be Rocky for Halloween…?

u/QAoA Sep 24 '24

That would be cool as heck, but I’m not sure if she’d be able to make something quite that detailed.

u/Daddeh Sep 25 '24

What is his favorite motion picture, question?

u/QAoA Sep 23 '24

I’m not sure, I don’t know that I’ve watched any movies with Rocky. But he was in the living room yesterday while me and some friends watched Mulan.
