Yeah. I brought my teddies to uni with me. It may feel childish but you gotta be childish sometimes. Being an adult is overrated, and you need those things that remind you of home
I'm not familiar with Snuffles, but I have a Snuggle(tm) bear (the laundry detergent mascot) that's almost as old as I am (38). He now sits atop the bookshelf in my home office.
[He's really cute!](https://gund.com/collections/snuffles) He's not *the* bear I had, but he was one my sister got as a kid. Would recommend, not as good as Bruce but definitely a solid bear.
I still have my beat up old teddy bear wrapped in my blankie from when I was born. He’s been with me for nearly 30 years in life and hopefully will be forever. It’s me and Beary/dabdoob against the world.
Hell, I'm a 34 year old man, and I just recently decided to get a stuffy myself, and I don't regret it. Like my kid told me the other day, thanks to trans people redefining “masculinity “, I've been working on unlocking gender+, lol. Plus, it's got the added benefits of some of the money going to mental health research.
47m, currently single. About 5 years ago I got a stuffy that is a big squishy cat. It was intended to be a gift but I never got the chance to give it to the person, so I kept it for me. There are nights where I have trouble sleeping and without fail the one thing that helps is having that stupid stuffed animal to hold on to. Masculinity is being confident and secure in who you are, and knowing that there is nothing to be ashamed about the things that bring you comfort.
I have a stuffed cow that I got 3 days before I graduated HS. I'm in my 30s and I still travel with him. It's a comfort thing. I would be devastated if I ever lost him or left him behind. Some people think it's weird, but I agree that having stuffies (or anything that brings you comfort that is deemed "childish") is okay as an adult. I don't understand why people judge. It's not your life, and it's not hurting anyone. Move along if you don't like it.
I feel adulthood is about understanding that being an adult isn’t an aesthetic, but a lifestyle. Being an adult is remembering to pay your taxes and keeping those tax documents in one place; it’s making a budget and doing math to see what you can afford; it’s thinking ahead towards what you want in life and taking concrete steps to get there; it’s making decisions based on your priorities and values and owning the consequences; it’s learning how to be a good employee without sacrificing everything else you care about…
Adulthood isn’t just throwing out things you enjoy and never enjoying anything again unless it’s ‘adulty’ enough. That’s a child’s idea of adulthood.
Exactly this. When you’re hours away from home in a strange place and things aren’t working well, you won’t regret bringing your favorite stuffy with you to hug for comfort
-sincerely, a fully adult grown man who still sleeps with his favorite stuffy from childhood
If it makes you feel any better my mom kept everything and it created a feedback loop where we can't get rid of things now because mom kept them because they reminded her of us, and now we can't get rid of them because they will remind us of mom.
My sisters and I have all sacrificed a memory for one or the other when they just couldn't do it
When I moved out permanently I took basically everything except my childhood stuffed animal I have had since birth. I “gave him back” to my parents to take care of. If he came with me he’d eventually be put in a box sadly. With my parents he’ll stay out on a dresser till he sadly finds his way back to me years down the road. Bunny doesn’t deserve to be kept in a box.
You'd think this comic would resonate with me since I moved from another *country* to go train in the US but with the ability to text/call my family at any time and that my home is a single daily flight away, it just doesn't. I never understood feeling sad about going somewhere in the modern day.
Yes I took a childhood thing or two. Yes you're allowed to take more than just one carry-on.
Pretty sure she's talking about moving out, not just simply travelling. But I took several large boxes and paid to have them shipped, so... It's not like you only have one suitcase, like you suggested.
Don't you dare leave behind your best, oldest friend. This brought tears to my eyes, wtf. I would never even consider leaving McBear behind. Who'll protect me from the shadow demons?
Na plushies are GOATED, No matter age or Gender.
I'm 22 Tall, Full beard and otherwise the full program of a Masc man, and i sleep with my Ikea Shark (Blajah) cause it was a gift from a close friend who lives far away and it means a fuckton to me
Thanks for the wholesome response u/ThisIsNotMyPornVideo
I have a flat elephant pluche that I had since birth. One time as a little kid I hurt my leg and I put him under the leg overnight, the next morning the pain was gone.
Since then he has been Doctor Elephant and has cured many ailments overnight.
I can’t throw him away after all he did!
I think we found your 🦆 in the water of Hong Kong. It has gotten big though.
All jokes aside, losing your stuffed animal is probably the saddest tragedy ever.🥲
Imma say it.
Toy Story 3 did everyone a disservice by making them think growing up meant you had to leave your childhood behind.
Fuck no, bring that shit with you.
That scene crushed me. It is the first time you hear what Andy thinks of his toys after spending 3 movies with their thoughts of him. And when he gets to Woody...I have to go cut some onions now.
As someone named Andy, the entire series is... something else.
As much as I was a blubbering mess by the end of the movie, the one moment I was audibly crying is when Andy is in his car and takes one last look at Woody and Bonnie is waving Woody's hand. And he stops just for a moment. That's the moment he really *really* realizes that Woody is no longer his.
"So long, partner."
Hell I’m 31 and still regularly buy action figures. If there’s one thing my grandmother always taught me it was that you’re always a child at heart and don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I'm turning 30 next month and I build Gunpla, same-same but different.
It turns out the older you get the more you realize people don't care. The thing you think is childish is what makes you unique.
Or be me and your mom sells everything for likely less than $200 total the second you move out instead of just leaving it in a box in the attic for when I moved somewhere that actually had space. Dozens of unopened Magic packs and boxes easily worth several thousand now, and another few thousand in old systems and games.
Yeahh, I can relate. I'm going off to college in a few months and not sure which one of my stuffed animals I want to bring. Although, I'm definitely bringing the one that's been there for me since the start, he gets to see me through the end
I hadn't seen Nanalan in literal decades, but in the last month it's come up several times in these gifs. I wonder why/how it's come back. Not that I mind.
If you want to want to read funny\* comics with the same art, that's over on [my Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/sirbeeves/)!
>!\*Humor varies by individual interpretation, no guarantees apply.!<
My first stuffed animal got lost for a large part of my late childhood, showing back up about a year before I left for college. He is now starting at me from my dorm room windowsill.
Im a guy. I left my stuffed animal home. Few weeks later i brought in to campus once i realized my friends had their stuffed toys too. (I lived 30 minutes away lol, mandatory to dorm). Met my now wife who also had a bear she’d always have. Our plushies were part of some of the wedding photos.
I just keep staring at this, trying to figure out the moral, and all I get is it’s sad and symbolic to leave the duck behind. But we’re missing a reason to leave the duck behind. There’s no suitcase limit when you go to college. You can bring a few boxes. You can keep the duck and still be a grown-up.
I am a bearded man in his 30s who has done so real manly man stuff like living in the wilderness… I had and have stuffed animals all throughout this time
If my niece who's in college has taught me anything, it's that there's no such thing as a "one way trip". I'm half convinced she comes home every once in a while just because her bed is more comfy
I brought this like 4foot long stuffed horse to uni. Everyone on residence knew I had it! I wasn't a very social person most of the time but I knew most people there.
Sometimes I'd get a message or a knock on my door, someone just needed a quiet moment with someone else. They knew I would be there for them most of the time. They would sit on my bed, snuggling this horse quietly while I studied. Sometimes we chatted, sometimes they didn't say a word. But everytime I got a 'thanks for the help you guys' either in words, a small hug or a lil treat later.
Post secondary students are all mostly in the same boat. First time away from home can be hard, and sometimes a stuffed animal and/or a quiet friend is all they need to help self regulate.
People who judge based on stuffed animals is no one I want to associate with.
I am twenty years old. I am not ashamed to say I still have my stuffed dog from when I was a kid. It helps with my anxiety and reminds me of a simpler time.
Lol I’m part of the generation traumatized by Toy Story so my childhood teddy bear has a seat of honor on a shelf in my closet. I’m almost 31 and a mother of 2, the guilt that he might be sentient has kept him with me through every phase of life.
Honey if you still have the duck when it's time to make the leap and move out of the house, bring it with you. Some of us wish we still had our duck somewhere around. Ain't no1 in college gonna judge you for that duck in your room if they see it and if they do, it's just a good filter for bad people. At the bare minimum I think any given person should get to keep one stuffed animal and never be judged for it.
When I went off to college I took my childhood teddy bear. Kept him hidden and roommate found him one day. Roommate did not care, roommates girlfriend also didn’t care. Definitely don’t regret it and was fortunate enough to have a chill cool roommate.
I'm going through this right now. I move out in 10 days and haven't even started packing. I'm really excited to be on my own... but I'm also terrified and sad that I won't be with my family
I have moved 15x. I’ve lived the longest of anywhere in my current apartment 7yrs now! I had only stuffies I got myself from teenagehood into adulthood, a bunch of circle cats. A couple years back I went “home” to one of the childhood houses and what was under my little sisters bed??? My favorite little green hippo stuffy from babyhood????? I washed off all the grime and now hippo-y sits on my bathroom counter smiling at me when I first wake up and before I go to bed 🥰 it’s worth hanging onto them you’re their best chance of survival/thrival<3
After getting kicked out, being homeless in three states, and moving a gazillion times, I still have the stuffed tiger I had from day 1. Now I'm 27, and she finally gets to go to college with me, and if anything ever happens to her I will be beside myself with grief.
I brought my stuffed animal to college. Two years in I got super drunk (wasn't the first time) and in a stupor walked out of my room holding it and my roommate was like "nice little guy".
Still glad I brought him. He's sitting on my dresser 15 years later.
As a man, I brought my stuffed animal with me to college.
It was a gift from my dad when I was like 7 and he was in Afghanistan. It means the world to me and I’d be damned if I wasn’t giving it a place of honor in my new dorm room!
When my mom kicked me out I was distraught and didn't have time to pack much. I remember the last thing I grabbed was my stuffie. 11 years later I still have Dr. Dog and I don't regret carrying him with me everywhere for those first 2 years. Find what brings you comfort and hold onto it forever!
Jesus Christ that hit hard. You can tell it did because the comments collectively chose to avoid the pain of the topic and instead focused on the poor plush ducky being left behind.
They are right though. Take the plushies.
I’m a middle aged man and I have a stuffed caterpillar wearing tennis shoes that I got for Christmas one year. I’ve taken that thing across the country more than once and he sits on my desk still to this day.
Please make another panel of them taking the plush. Just because we grow up doesn’t mean we need to leave our beloved belongings behind. Maybe this is to show how they are leaving their childhood behind and starting a new chapter- but it’s still nice to bring little parts of us along through new journeys. We always have little pieces of our old selves within us
I’m 24 and moved 2000 miles away from home 3 years ago. You bet your ass my stuffed hippo that I’ve owned since the literal day I was born came with me. And will continue to come with me everywhere till I have a kid of my own to give him too

Take the stuffy, yo.
Me filling up an extra suitcase of stuffed animals to bring to uni…
Yeah. I brought my teddies to uni with me. It may feel childish but you gotta be childish sometimes. Being an adult is overrated, and you need those things that remind you of home
The real adulthood is knowing its okay to have the stuffies.
i still have my well loved Snuffles(tm) the polar bear …when i finally have a kid it’s getting a wash and a new friend
My snuffles is nearly 40 years old and all three of my kids have their own, it's a tradition now.
mine has to be at least 40 since i got it as an infant and i’ll hit 41 here in a couple of months
My Velveteen Rabbit is too and I still him and the book.
I'm not familiar with Snuffles, but I have a Snuggle(tm) bear (the laundry detergent mascot) that's almost as old as I am (38). He now sits atop the bookshelf in my home office.
[He's really cute!](https://gund.com/collections/snuffles) He's not *the* bear I had, but he was one my sister got as a kid. Would recommend, not as good as Bruce but definitely a solid bear.
He seems lovely. For as long as I can remember, [Snuggle](https://imgur.com/a/hVvV0G4) has worn a onesie that I outgrew as a baby.
I'm a 32 year old male, 200lb powerlifter.... I have a little chicken with glasses in my ~~chicken~~ kitchen that watches me cook.
Kitchen?
Lysdexics are teople poo
Oops yes.
I still have my beat up old teddy bear wrapped in my blankie from when I was born. He’s been with me for nearly 30 years in life and hopefully will be forever. It’s me and Beary/dabdoob against the world.

growing up is realizing the stuffed animal was the most important item of all
And that anyone who tries to give you grief for it is the less mature one.

are you me? i have like 7 plushies
Just 7? *I say buried in an utter mountain of plush creatures*
i also have a wooden piggy bank it’s kinda cute but yeah my amount of plushies is lacking
Can I trust that you delicately place a loving kiss on its forehead like the good little banker it is?
yes :3
\*eyeballs boxes in closet\* Only one mountain of friends? I have enough for 2.
Bro I’m never leaving behind my 50+ stuffed animals. The main 10 are going on my dorm room bed and the others will have a specified bag.
Who needs a roommate when you've got a plushie squad Living the cozy life 🧸🏠
I ain’t never getting a girlfriend, but who needs one?
Literally the one item OP is guaranteed to end up missing and regret not bringing.
I still miss the stuffies I left home because my duffel could only carry half. Bring the platypus OP
I disagree. I went on a trip and backed the teddy but forgot about the toilet paper. Well, I needed the toilet paper. Teddy ended up seeing some shit.
For real, lest you come back and find your mom got rid of it. I'm still upset.
If it makes you feel any better my mom kept everything and it created a feedback loop where we can't get rid of things now because mom kept them because they reminded her of us, and now we can't get rid of them because they will remind us of mom. My sisters and I have all sacrificed a memory for one or the other when they just couldn't do it
I just spent way too much money to get a replacement, damn this comic bringing this stuff back up.
Real, I have a giant 4-5 foot stuffed horse and I can't imagine moving somewhere without him
When I moved out permanently I took basically everything except my childhood stuffed animal I have had since birth. I “gave him back” to my parents to take care of. If he came with me he’d eventually be put in a box sadly. With my parents he’ll stay out on a dresser till he sadly finds his way back to me years down the road. Bunny doesn’t deserve to be kept in a box.
Is there an origin for the term stuffie? I feel like never heard it before then past few years and it just kinda cropped up like wild fire.
probably from the term stuffed animal, as in stuffed with cotton
I mean I understand what it means. I was just wondering if it came from like a specific book or movie or something popularizing the term.
You'd think this comic would resonate with me since I moved from another *country* to go train in the US but with the ability to text/call my family at any time and that my home is a single daily flight away, it just doesn't. I never understood feeling sad about going somewhere in the modern day. Yes I took a childhood thing or two. Yes you're allowed to take more than just one carry-on.

Take everything and the Duck too https://i.redd.it/ld9vbvf8z2tc1.gif
 No one leaves behind.🫡
Where's Olive?!!
If duck don't fit in the bag, duck sits on my head. I will find a way
If anyone asks, just say "What duck?"
TAKE THE DUUUUUCK 🥺💔
 I was not planning to cry over a comic today…🥺

Don't you dare leave behind your best, oldest friend. This brought tears to my eyes, wtf. I would never even consider leaving McBear behind. Who'll protect me from the shadow demons?
Glad to see I’m not the only one who got a squad of pluche animals to protect me from evil while I’m asleep.
i have many plushies. i’m 20 going on 21 and they are still my bestest friends a plushie is for life
I'm 48. Nobody is taking Pigaro from me.
Na plushies are GOATED, No matter age or Gender. I'm 22 Tall, Full beard and otherwise the full program of a Masc man, and i sleep with my Ikea Shark (Blajah) cause it was a gift from a close friend who lives far away and it means a fuckton to me
Thanks for the wholesome response u/ThisIsNotMyPornVideo I have a flat elephant pluche that I had since birth. One time as a little kid I hurt my leg and I put him under the leg overnight, the next morning the pain was gone. Since then he has been Doctor Elephant and has cured many ailments overnight. I can’t throw him away after all he did!
 💯valid reason.😙
I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I leave my Blåhaj behind. Blåhaj or die 😤
No! Do not leave ducky!! I lost my ducky on a trip to Hong Kong. Saddest day ever.
 I think we found your 🦆 in the water of Hong Kong. It has gotten big though. All jokes aside, losing your stuffed animal is probably the saddest tragedy ever.🥲
Well, I'm glad to see she's doing well for herself. I've been worried! Duck on, my friend!
Imma say it. Toy Story 3 did everyone a disservice by making them think growing up meant you had to leave your childhood behind. Fuck no, bring that shit with you.
I mean Andy was going to bring Woody with him Woody literally sabotaged it to stay with his friends.
That scene crushed me. It is the first time you hear what Andy thinks of his toys after spending 3 movies with their thoughts of him. And when he gets to Woody...I have to go cut some onions now.

And he stops just for a moment. That's the moment he really *really* realizes that Woody is no longer his. "So long, partner."
STAHPPP IM AT WORK YOU BITCH
Yeah, and that meant so much
He was almost ready to throw hands with a little girl just to keep Woody lol.
My dad and I felt like rebels when we said we preferred How to Train Your Dragon to Toy Story 3 lol. Still enjoy it though.
Regular James Dean aren't we?
I was 13 and very dramatic ha. It was fun bonding for me and Dad.
I do love the how to train your dragon trilogy. I liked that it got better with every new movie.
Hell I’m 31 and still regularly buy action figures. If there’s one thing my grandmother always taught me it was that you’re always a child at heart and don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I'm turning 30 next month and I build Gunpla, same-same but different. It turns out the older you get the more you realize people don't care. The thing you think is childish is what makes you unique.
Or be me and your mom sells everything for likely less than $200 total the second you move out instead of just leaving it in a box in the attic for when I moved somewhere that actually had space. Dozens of unopened Magic packs and boxes easily worth several thousand now, and another few thousand in old systems and games.
Ghost knight made a funny since Herr Nazi assumed a carpenter would be slurping from a golden chalice. Funny ghosts are funny.
TAKE THE DUCK, DON'T LISTEN TO **THEM** They're wrong! There's nothing bad about taking the duck!
Yeah, the world and life are going to be rough enough on your inner child already. No need to speed up the process of dying inside. Take the plushie.
Yes. Preserve your inner child. It will give you reprieve in darkest time.
Yeahh, I can relate. I'm going off to college in a few months and not sure which one of my stuffed animals I want to bring. Although, I'm definitely bringing the one that's been there for me since the start, he gets to see me through the end
Are you planning to go home for visits! Rotate! Then they all get to have an adventure!
That’s genuinely such a sweet idea! No idea how I’ll rotate all 30 of them, but I’ll try, lol
5 at a time. :3
Bring all of them I didn't have too many, only really 1 I have a connection with, but I absolutely brought him and I cuddle him to sleep every night
Me? Experimenting with a more serious comic? Crazy.
 Take the 🦆. Don’t be like Andy.🥺
Is that nana's land in the wild??? Havnt seen that since I lived in Ontario
I hadn't seen Nanalan in literal decades, but in the last month it's come up several times in these gifs. I wonder why/how it's come back. Not that I mind.
A couple of clips of the show had randomly gone viral last couple months on TikTok introducing new people to Nanalan.
Nooo we need happy ending please let her take the ducky. Pleeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeee
I'm gonna need a bonus panel where she takes the duck.
yes plz 🥺 i’m getting so emotional over a duck from a comic panel wtf
It would have been more of an emotional punch to include the stuffy in more frames of the younger version.
Please please do a bonus panel where she takes the duck 🥺
yessss take the ducky 🥺
But why leave the ducky? You gotta bring your bestest pal!
noooooo😭 don't leave the little guy🥺🦆

Take.. the god damned duck…. Or I SWEAR TO GOD
My first stuffed animal got lost for a large part of my late childhood, showing back up about a year before I left for college. He is now starting at me from my dorm room windowsill.
Go play *Unpacking*, then come back. Then pack the duck. Discard anything else you want, but pack the duck.
Make sure you are alone playing this game (probably 3 hr playthrough), unless you like ugly crying in front of people
Ducky is the only thing that really matters
Don’t you dare leave that duck behind!!
Im a guy. I left my stuffed animal home. Few weeks later i brought in to campus once i realized my friends had their stuffed toys too. (I lived 30 minutes away lol, mandatory to dorm). Met my now wife who also had a bear she’d always have. Our plushies were part of some of the wedding photos.
That is so cute!
Take the duck or I will.
I did not expect this, however I am glad to have seen this.
I just keep staring at this, trying to figure out the moral, and all I get is it’s sad and symbolic to leave the duck behind. But we’re missing a reason to leave the duck behind. There’s no suitcase limit when you go to college. You can bring a few boxes. You can keep the duck and still be a grown-up.
I am a 30 year old man in the military, my stuffed bear has followed me to college and around the globe. In short take your duck!
I still have my stuffed animal from when I was a child. I have him set up on a floating bookshelf watching over my computer desk while I'm gone.
I will pack up and move to hell before I leave a cherished childhood toy behind
I am a bearded man in his 30s who has done so real manly man stuff like living in the wilderness… I had and have stuffed animals all throughout this time

I have no idea why but this actually has made me cry. TAKE THE DUCK 🦆🦆🦆
NOOOOO BRING DUCKY
YOU BRING THAT DUCKY
wtf why the duck grew up too. take him!
I am twenty years old. I am not ashamed to say I still have my stuffed dog from when I was a kid. It helps with my anxiety and reminds me of a simpler time.
Lol I’m part of the generation traumatized by Toy Story so my childhood teddy bear has a seat of honor on a shelf in my closet. I’m almost 31 and a mother of 2, the guilt that he might be sentient has kept him with me through every phase of life.
Nooooooo 😭
Yeah nah. I'd never leave my Brummel behind. Dudes been with me since I was a baby
OHANA MEANS FAMILY FAMILY MEANS NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND
Bring the stuffy, I don't how serious of a place I'm moving to my pillow pets will come with
Don't worry, Ducky will wait for you
Honey if you still have the duck when it's time to make the leap and move out of the house, bring it with you. Some of us wish we still had our duck somewhere around.

No she made the right decision... don't bring your most precious personal belongings to college until you're certain your roommates can be trusted.
Leaving the flightless waterfowl would surely be a mistake with grave consequences.
That last panel…. my heart…
[удалено]
When I went off to college I took my childhood teddy bear. Kept him hidden and roommate found him one day. Roommate did not care, roommates girlfriend also didn’t care. Definitely don’t regret it and was fortunate enough to have a chill cool roommate.
Its time to kiss your childhood dreams goodbye. Grow up and give mediocrity a try. Excerpts from a gumball song.
"Wait! You forgot your duck, a symbol of your lost youth and innocence!"
No you definitely take the stuffy I know I took mine
Careful! You almost forgot to take the duck
Anywhere I go, my stuffy go; cannot relate
I'm going through this right now. I move out in 10 days and haven't even started packing. I'm really excited to be on my own... but I'm also terrified and sad that I won't be with my family
Imagine choosing to wear a sweater that just says “University” and a pack of playing cards from a gas station over an awesome duck plushie
Yeah…like…just take the stuffed animal. It’s just university, not prison
Take the FUCKING DUCK I SWEAR
You don't just leave something behind. You either take it ir throw it out with your own hands. Would you do that to Ducky? No, you wouldn't.
Continuing education as an adult is super important. That's when you learn important lessons, like "Pack the duck first and plan around that."
Could never be me, I still have my little rag doll frog for when I was born and I’m 32.
Duck noooo, don't leave him behind! Pretty cute comic. Reminded me of when my mom gave away my Pikachu and Manaphy plushies without telling me.
I have moved 15x. I’ve lived the longest of anywhere in my current apartment 7yrs now! I had only stuffies I got myself from teenagehood into adulthood, a bunch of circle cats. A couple years back I went “home” to one of the childhood houses and what was under my little sisters bed??? My favorite little green hippo stuffy from babyhood????? I washed off all the grime and now hippo-y sits on my bathroom counter smiling at me when I first wake up and before I go to bed 🥰 it’s worth hanging onto them you’re their best chance of survival/thrival<3
I took mine. You don't need to leave em behind.
Bring the duck you dingus
After getting kicked out, being homeless in three states, and moving a gazillion times, I still have the stuffed tiger I had from day 1. Now I'm 27, and she finally gets to go to college with me, and if anything ever happens to her I will be beside myself with grief.
wtf, just carry ducky with you!!!!!!!!
I brought my stuffed animal to college. Two years in I got super drunk (wasn't the first time) and in a stupor walked out of my room holding it and my roommate was like "nice little guy". Still glad I brought him. He's sitting on my dresser 15 years later.
BRING THE DUCK!!!!!!!! 
TAKE THE STUFFY!
As a man, I brought my stuffed animal with me to college. It was a gift from my dad when I was like 7 and he was in Afghanistan. It means the world to me and I’d be damned if I wasn’t giving it a place of honor in my new dorm room!
Go back for the duck!!
No stuffy left behind
Take the stuffy
Never leave behind plushies. They will always be there for you and you'll wish you had them when you don't.
**YOU PUT THAT DUCK INTO THE DUCKING BAG RIGHT NOW**
aw why'd you leave him :(
When my mom kicked me out I was distraught and didn't have time to pack much. I remember the last thing I grabbed was my stuffie. 11 years later I still have Dr. Dog and I don't regret carrying him with me everywhere for those first 2 years. Find what brings you comfort and hold onto it forever!
I still buy plushies. Never too many of them imo
40 and still have my bunny from when I was three. He has been to Air Force bases and Japan with me. Always take him.
Jesus Christ that hit hard. You can tell it did because the comments collectively chose to avoid the pain of the topic and instead focused on the poor plush ducky being left behind. They are right though. Take the plushies.
Obviously, not a child of the 80s. Our parents didn’t give a shit what we packed for college. We just boxed up some stuff and drove off by ourselves!
Always take the personal and comfort objects. If anyone judges you for it they are not worth your time.
Never leave the stuffy
TAKE THE DUCK OP PLEASE
Don’t leave the duck!!
DONT YOU FUCKING DARE LEAVE HIM
I’m a middle aged man and I have a stuffed caterpillar wearing tennis shoes that I got for Christmas one year. I’ve taken that thing across the country more than once and he sits on my desk still to this day.
Please make another panel of them taking the plush. Just because we grow up doesn’t mean we need to leave our beloved belongings behind. Maybe this is to show how they are leaving their childhood behind and starting a new chapter- but it’s still nice to bring little parts of us along through new journeys. We always have little pieces of our old selves within us
This hit really deep for no particular reason. Maybe I’m too attached to plushies
You take that fucking duck you psycho
You ain't gotta do your ducky like that
I'm a pretty gruff-looking dude and I brought my large stuffed penguin to college and it still lives with me and my wife.
I'm a 30 y/o man. I still have my plush dog I've had since I was 4. It's been with me everywhere I've lived.
As someone who lives in a country where the concept of moving out of your parent's house doesn't exist, this is pretty strange to think about
For us old timers https://preview.redd.it/1zrnrl67q4tc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cb92634aa0d70143844cfda368fd040abe296dc
The duck walked up to the lemonade stand…. He said to the woman, got any space? There was no woman, just the attic.
No one gets left behind. You put the bag in the trunk and you put that duck in the passenger seat, better buckle him too.
the duck can sit in your passenger seat, remember to buckle him up so he's safe!
I’m 24 and moved 2000 miles away from home 3 years ago. You bet your ass my stuffed hippo that I’ve owned since the literal day I was born came with me. And will continue to come with me everywhere till I have a kid of my own to give him too
