🧸Stuffie Care Tips!🧸
Keeping your stuffie friends clean, healthy and happy is super important, but can be very intimidating if you don't know how. A lot of people are afraid of messing up their beloved friends. Hopefully this post can help!
៚ ⋯⋯⋯ ˁᱸᲲᱸˀ ⋯⋯⋯⋯ ༄
Tip 1: Lint rollers!
Tumblr media
These are super cheap and easy to find at basically any store. They won't pull out your friends fur or hair, but they are great for removing loose dirt and dust. We recommend going over your stuffie friends with a lint roller at least once a week or after any trip out (especially during pollen season!) Make sure to get under their arms and behind their ears!
៚ ⋯⋯⋯ ˁᱸᲲᱸˀ ⋯⋯⋯⋯ ༄
Tip 2: Unscented Wet Wipes
Tumblr media
Scented ones work too, but we prefer unscented because of our sensitive skin. These are great for giving your stuffie friends a proper cleaning. We usually use 4-5 wipes for a standard 16 inch BAB plushie. Your stuffie should be damp after being thoroughly wiped down. We like to gently rub in circles all over their plush. After they've been cleaned make sure to use a towel to dry them. Most stuffies will be dry in just a few minutes! We recommend wiping your stuffie at least once a month, more often if they are going out on adventures or spending time around food and drinks!
៚ ⋯⋯⋯ ˁᱸᲲᱸˀ ⋯⋯⋯⋯ ༄
Tip 3: Slicker Pet Brushes
Tumblr media
These brushes are perfect for most stuffie friends, especially Build a Bears and other stuffies with straight fibers for fur/hair. They separate fibers and detangle easily. We like to brush against the direction the plush lays (against the grain) and then with the direction it lays (with the grain). Don't press too hard when using them. If you notice the brush is full of your stuffie friends fur/hair after brushing, stop using and refer to tip 4. These brushes can be found online and in most pet stores and sections.
៚ ⋯⋯⋯ ˁᱸᲲᱸˀ ⋯⋯⋯⋯ ༄
Tip 4: Detangling Brushes
Tumblr media
For stuffies with curly, textured, or older fur/hair, a detangler is the best option for brushing them (they're also great for human hair too!). See how the tines are different lengths? This helps detangle, but they're also soft plastic so they won't pull fur/hair out while brushing. If they snag on a knot the tines will bend and the knot will slip off without damaging or ripping anything out. We have a bear with loopy fibers mixed into his plush. A detangler keeps him soft and clean without damaging him at all. These brushes can be found online and in the human hair-care section of most stores that carry brushes.
Whether you use a slicker or a detangler, giving your stuffie friends a good brushing at least once a month (and after baths!) will help keep them soft, clean and happy!

Gotta love the system moment of coming to front to find the 4 year old little sitting there happily singing along to one of the most graphically violent songs I have ever heard

Movie/book reviews (including a number of kids movies and MLP), explorations of theme park history, and random interesting/nerdy topics.

All cooking youtubers with a light historical basis. B.Dylan Hollis focuses on American history and is very eccentrically goofy —take heed that he might make inneuendos. Tasting History has more of the vibes of a dad cooking but has a very thorough historical analysis for all he makes. Emmymade is very sweet and has a calming voice and is more focused in the craft of cooking. Tasting History and Emmy sometimes have ad reads.

Shout out to syskids of all ages who do more of the hard and heavy work (trauma holders, persecutors, gatekeepers, etc)
Shout out to the headmates/alters who feel like they're little kids but they have adult bodies, doing the same things as above.
You're doing great and I'm proud of you! - Mod Phantom

Child Alters are not always "Sweet and Innocent"
Sorry if this comes off rude or inflammatory, we're pretty blurry and this is something we've seen in syscourse allllll over Tumblr and instagram and what have you. This topic came up in our System Server which is what inspired us to create this post. (the system support server is still open to new members, FYI, hence me linking it there lol)
I think there's a really really big misconception that all child parts (also called "littles" but we usually say "child parts/alters" or "kid parts/alters" for our own comfort) are so sweet and UwU innocent in every single system ever and that if you don't treat child alters like literal children you are a BAD system and you don't respect child alters!!! Protect the children!!! *insert sobbing emoji*
So it should go without saying, obviously you should protect child alters. You should protect any alters in your system. But there's more to child alters than "UwU sweet babies who are so innocent and do silly little things like spend money on candy and stuffies haha!"
(TW ahead for mentions of suicide, s/h, and NSFW related topics. I'm sure you can see where this is going.)
There are child alters who:
function better than most adult alters in a system. We have child alters who can drive, who can send work emails, who have gone to work, etc. They have far more maturity than a lot of parts in our system and have been around the longest out of most of us. Do they still sometimes sound or talk like a kid? Yeah. Do they still enjoy kid things? Yeah! But they share an adult brain and are perfectly capable of functioning and masking just like any other part in the system.
are persecutors. I don't mean like "this child alter won't listen to me" or "they're a brat haha!" I mean persecutor child alters that actively harm the body, actively harm physical property outside of the body, actively harm parts inside the inner world, etc. They can have rage issues, they can be incredibly depressed, they can be suicidal or desire self harm activities. They are just as capable as any other alter to pick up a bottle of alcohol and drink until blackout drunk. Just because they look like a kid internally does not mean they are sweet and cute and innocent all the time.
are very hypersexual. Do I think that you should let them do sexual things with adults? In our system, no, we don't allow that. However, I can't control how other system young alters cope because I'm not in their head. Yes, child alters can be hypersexual. This is often a result of trauma. They will often want to reenact their trauma memories. They might get you into dangerous situations with strangers. They might have risky sex. They might masturbate in extremely painful ways in order to reenact their trauma. Child alters are not perfectly abstinent little babies who don't know what sex is. If they have sexual trauma, they will likely NOT know proper boundaries with adults and they can put you in a risky sexual situation just as much as literally any other alter in the system.
are protectors. gatekeepers, or caretakers. Child alters don't just have to sit there and be "stereotypical kids" all the time. They don't have to sit and wallow in trauma or play with their toys in the inner world 24/7. A lot of highly capable young alters want to do something to help the system. If they didn't already "come" with their job (for example, gatekeepers often 'come' with that label when they split/form, but not always) it's perfectly normal for them to step into a more "useful" role in the system. For those of you who have EVER worked with younger kids, they freaking LOVE to help. They love to feel useful and help out. This is the exact same in a system. We have child caretakers. And that's something they chose, we didn't "force" them.
And the thing is......something a lot of people don't want to hear.............sometimes alters (of any age) have to do roles or jobs they don't like. I know, bonkers isn't it. Sometimes nobody else is suited for a job like another alter is. We have parts who are really good at being emotionally level. Do they like fronting a lot? No! However, if we're in a highly emotional situation, out they go. Or we have another part who's really good at handling our chronic pain and taking care of the body. Does he like it? No, why would you want to feel chronic pain all the damn time? However, he knows he's the best at the job and does it anyway. Like any team in the external world, there's just going to be some jobs that some folks don't like but will have to do anyway. Does that mean they have to be stuck doing that job forever? No! Things change in systems all the time, roles should never be locked in for life. Sometimes new splits happen or new alters are discovered who do the job even better or even prefer to do the jobs nobody else likes. However, it's absolutely ridiculous to assume that all parts love their job, and that doesn't exclude child parts. We know systems with child gatekeepers who don't like their job, but that's all they've ever known and they wouldn't be comfortable letting anyone else do their job. Which is totally fine and valid. I don't think I've ever met a gatekeeper of any age who likes their job, they just do it. It just is.
Idk it just puts a bad taste in my mouth to see SO MANY posts infantilizing child alters everywhere. And I do want to say that I'm not trying to invalidate those sweet and innocent child alters! They are totally cool and awesome and so valid! We have a couple of those too! However, I feel like nobody ever talks about the fact that child alters are not innocent babies all the time, that MOST child alters are incredibly traumatized individuals and are just as capable of being toxic OR helpful as any other part in the system.
-----
This should go without saying, but DDlg or NSFW or non-system agere blogs stay the FUCK away from this post! <3

(Image IDs in alt text! Click the images for higher quality!)
It can be hard being a little in a system, especially when you don’t always have someone to help take care of you! Please keep your chin up and stay strong for us. We know how tough it can be to feel lonely, and we hope that soon you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who love and cherish you!
If you’re feeling really lonely, here’s some stuff you can try that might help!
💚 Call or message a friend, caregiver, or someone outside your system who you trust!
💙 Build a pillow fort where you can feel safe. Bring your favorite toys and plushies inside to keep you company!
💜 Distract yourself by coloring a picture, drawing, reading, writing in your journal, watching your favorite show, or playing video games!
💙 Make a card or letter for your friend or caregiver and give it to them when you see or speak to them next!
💚 Play pretend with your toys! Have a tea party or go on an exciting adventure!
Thank you for reading! Or if a caregiver is helping you read this, thank you for listening! We believe in you, we know how kindhearted and brave you are, and we hope that your loneliness ends very soon!

We made Merlin a wizard hat! We have plans to make more in the future. This one is quite heavy and needs some tweaking. She still loves it. It makes her feel very magical and wizardly.

things freminet does when he’s regressed (about an alter but take it as headcanon if you wish)
hides behind people he deems “safe”
makes lists. they’re all spelled poorly and mention fish
calls lynette (mixtive of babette from raggedy ann + lynette) “nettie”
asks a lot of “why” questions
if you put him in front of an aquarium at the doctor’s office, he will sit there for hours
calls every animal he sees “fishie” because he’s Real Autistic About Fish and also. toddler brain
babbles to no end
loves hugs but is TERRIFIED of asking for them
bathtime = best time
sleeps a lot + barely talks
