Turned the photo around on the PC. You might want to zoom in a bit with the image in a new tab to see the full details, but if you find the cosonaut, you get a free trans mom hug. <3 #CoSoFamily #CoSoArt
To explain some of the color choices and the symbols haha well, look at the community we built for ourselves! We are inclusive, protective of one another, and strong! We love our animal friends, and plushies, but we also love science and the wonders of space! We admire the hard workers in the metal industry and those that work in agriculture but we embrace every walk of life without discrimination and work together to improve our world around us.
@PaganMother Is it actually emotionally safe here to talk about plushies? I have a Moon Pal weighted plushie that is so good for my anxiety, and I love stuffed bears. But I learned not to talk about them because then I get treated like I'm not a real adult.
@PaganMother That's wonderful! I am an intense social masker. I'm unlearning it. But it's still hard not to just shut up the parts of myself I see being frowned at. Every day, CoSo gives me a little more "you can be yourself here".
@weirdfizz I know what you mean, I've had to do a LOT of masking over the years just to blend in and not draw notice to my mental health disorders and conditions over the years. I have a plushy teddy bear that I keep near by me, as well as a handful of beanie dragons because well, dragons are pretty damn cool!
@PaganMother I have a theory that dragons are autistic. So, yeah... totally cool!
@weirdfizz They could be, they hoard just about anything that captures their obsessions! :3 Yes, sometimes princesses. Haha!
@weirdfizz It is, plushies are wonderful for helping ease anxiety, and give a sense of security when you have little else anywhere else. This is perfectly safe to talk about. <3
