love furby’s, man i still remember the blue one i had, it was the OG model design.

poor thing didn’t make the move from canada to aus all that way, as 10yr old me didn’t think to remove the batteries before it got sent over via shipping container. sadly the batteries corroded and it was never the same afterwards. it would turn itself on and off at random intervals, and it’s eyelids never shut properly. it also sounded… wrong.

it does make for a hilariously terrifying storytime however, as one night our new kitten knocked it off the desk where i kept it (covered by a bucket so i wouldn’t have to see it’s perpetually glowing eyes in the dark) the thing suddenly came to life with a cackling screech, writhing around on its back with its pupil-less eyes wide open and flashing wildly.

scared the everloving shit out of my formerly asleep younger self, genuinely to this day i think it must’ve been possessed or smth

what if i was an archivist and part time conspiracy theorist and you were the only test subject that survived the horrific and wildly unethical science experiment i’m weirdly interested in and we were in love and also u were frozen and technically dead for most of our time spent together

So apparently i had to find out by accident today that stickbug eggs look like tiny pots and they hatch out by opening the lids and crawling out
