Lloxie & Emily - Cartoon Eepy Time by BubblyMaika

Emi and I often like to watch stuff together. Sweet pup doesn't always make it to the end before conking out though. We both like to imagine it'd be something like this if it were in-person. :3

I don't get your work: lots of difficult humanist words to tell everybody they should be cuddly to each other!

I just want to #pee my pants while #cuddling with #cute #girlies, and be showered in #affection 😊

Thanks Smol Loki, much better like this!

Yes, you goodnight too! And #goodnight everybody!

Ah, to end the Squishmallow saga, I will indeed be getting a Squishmallow, still not sure if it will be something I'll have customized, but I will get one for sure though so I can have both my bear who's name is also named bear next to me, and my squishmallow who's name I'll figure out as soon as I get it, I don't pick the names, it just tells me and I go with it, same with bear, bear just told me his name is bear and I just accepted it. I know, hard to believe my stance on cudddling has changed so drastically, remember when only a few months ago I told everyone cuddling was weak because it brakes the warrior image and as a man cuddling isn't something a warrior does? What utter rubbish that is, I'm glad I've changed and it took love to figure that out, because nothing else worked to get it through my skull that I was wrong. #StuffedAnimals #Cuddling #Squishmallow
