A while ago I was casually scrolling through my dash and came upon @real-faker ‘s reblog of @tarotfurbyandchill ‘s post about the furby they were trying to track down that was abandoned in the desert. I was intrigued and looked at their blog, then followed them out of curiosity. More furby accounts were recommended to me and, because I found the fandom a little weird but pretty funny, I made this post
Originally intended to be a joke, a bunch of furby accs reblogged and commented on it. I looked at all their accounts and then added another joke to that post about how I slowly started wanting a furby and the fandom and their furbs must have been brainwashing me. I’d been posting this on my snapchat as well, since more of my irl friends follow me there, and at the next GSA meeting at my school, someone who I hadn’t talked to much before mentioned that they had an old furby that had been sitting around for a while and didn’t want.
It was right before winter break so I wouldn’t be able to get it from him for a few weeks. He sent me two pictures of her and I started looking for a name for her, going back to @tarotfurbyandchill ‘s account and looking through their list of potential furby names.
I was looking through the color suggestions when I found one I probably wouldn’t use, Sasquatch Socks. Assuming it would be a brownish color I only looked it up bc, ironically like the furby fandom, I thought it sounded funny and a bit weird. Surprise surprise! It’s a bright pink! A very similar pink to the soon-to-be-mine furb!
Suddenly, a beautiful idea struck! Paying homage to the artist whose reblog started it all,
This is Sock!!!
she’s much louder than i expected and only stays on for like a minute before she goes to sleep and the only way i can get her to wake up is to take one of the batteries out and put it back in but i love this goofy bitch
