So someone pointed out the existence of disease plushies to me a while ago. I actually think they are cute in a disgusting sort of way and if done right they can also be educational. This might be better for the love epidemic in February but I want to put the idea out there!

Microbes/Cell plushies - The above is the common cold but there are so many possibilities! You can have red and white blood cells, healthy hair follicles and of course just infectious diseases/viruses. They can even have the smiley faces to make you feel better. What better way to get over a cold than to cuddle with a replica of the cold itself! You can also do plushies that are the things that CAUSE you to be sick like hookworm, tapeworm, ticks and fleas!

Chemical Plushies - Still a science buff but don't like icky cells and viruses? What about a huggable sugar molecule? Or maybe you are more the type that likes to hang on to an atom (I couldn't find an actual plushie example but it would be cute!). We could have different chemical compound plushies for things like salt, proteins, dopamine, adrenaline....

Part Plushies - We do have some, but most of those are anatomical and boring! Spice it up with smiley plushies and add more types of parts! Maybe even dive into the skeletal structure...I want a plushie funny bone!

Lands Plushies - The last category isn't really icky but I wanted to include it since it could really tie in with Subeta and is still kinda related. We could do the different lands in plushie form. Wouldn't you love to squeeze on the Sacred Lands?

Please post your own ideas for icky but cute things!

fabulous idea!!!! full support!!!!

I'd love to see these using fictional Subeta-based viruses, like the one that creates zombies. I've always adored the virus plushies. xD

Land plushies are a wonderful idea!

Molecule plushies. Love it. We used to have "molecule races" across the floor using those plastic molecule sets, so all my yes. Plus these would be awesome for a TC. There could be ester rings and alcohol molecules... (for Alegarten, ha).

That heart plushie. Give it to me nowwww. <3

I LOVE the Microbes plushies line and actually mentioned them on the thread about the suspension of the Ebola items. They're adorable in the most icky way!

The fictional ones would be great too! I just think that certain ones are generic enough to carry over as well :D especially red and white blood cells...I mean we do have Human Avatars! But I do love the idea of zombie viruses!

I have had to stop myself from ordering these in the past!

I don't blame you. I have to. I keep hoping someone will get me one as a present, not going to lie :p

They have a Valentines day pack one I might hint to my boyfriend about in February.

This also just inspired me to start a doctor pet. I still have others to get done ;_;

Totally searching around the AC to see if any good names are in there already.

Oh, d'oh, I meant both RL and fictional as well! I kinda...sort of assumed the RL ones would be a given, hahaha. Whoops!

Haha I didn't know if you meant both. I know some people want to move away from real things so I wasn't sure!

XD I can just imagine the love pack. I would love to see versions of those on site and they would be perfect for a doctor or nurse pet!

They really would be awesome for a doctor pet! I'm not the owner of Dr. Sabine ;p

Honestly, I'd be okay with either. Or either/or. xD

grabby fingers We just wants, precious!

oh god those chemicals and cell plushies are the most adorable thing ever! :'D the is one of my favorite items, so i'd love to see some similar ones. pretty much, adding a cute face to whatever would make great plushies!

I love all of these! And the idea to do both the zombie viruses in addition to real world examples. The chemical and atom designs would be so perfect for a scientist pet.

I've also always thought the spiders from the Smiley Spider Stickers would make adorable plushies. Like with little ropes as the legs.

Less icky, but I think smiley food plushies would be an adorable addition to the site as well. Kidrobot has some other cute examples too.

Oh my god smiley food plushies would be amazing. I LOVE the food items with faces!

I'd love to see more items like the , but based on the Survival/Pandemic viruses, and plushie versions of those. :) Oh, and beanbags too!

Edit: Not the wearable aspect of the tiny virus though. Unless it was just a hint of the zombie skins maybe? I know we're not going to get wearable versions of the full skins, and I don't think that should change. Zombie virus minions? >w<

I was totally being silly on that thread. The Chlamydia plushie is an inside joke my friend and I have. XD

Though I am up to having the zombie diseases as plushies/beanbags. Something like these are what I was thinking of in that post:

For the zombie viruses? Superb idea! :)

I remember my high school biology teacher had a microbe plushie on his desk. These would be cool to have on site so support
