#Sock Monkey

[doctorbeth]

A giant bear and a tiny monkey, from the same home!

Back in August a gentleman reached out to me about his wife's giant panda, Edward (Eddie) Bear. He wasn't just giant by breed, but he was actually a giant at about 5 feet from head to toe.

Here are some diagnosis photos:

In addition to stuffing compression, Eddie had quite a few seam issues, and some (not visible) tears. He came to the hospital for a spa and wound repair. Here he is in his bubble bath (he gets the giant tub).:-)

Restuffing took quite a few adjustments to get his shape right, but soon he was restuffed, fur fluffed, wounds repaired, and ready to head home:

Now Eddie headed home and his family was very happy! They wrote:

"Thank you so much, Beth, for providing the excellent care that our boy needed and deserved.

S and I are 100% satisfied with his outcome, so much cleaner, much less slouched and his wounds are all fully healed.

I wonder how many people realize and act on their true calling in life.

I believe I do with my wood working, and I know you do with Realms of Gold."

Nice, yes? But even better... a few weeks later the gentleman's wife reached out. Now that Eddie was better, she wanted to get her husband's companion, Mr. Monkey repaired. She wrote:

"First off let me start by telling you how happy Les and I are with the care you gave Eddie Bear. He is like new again and we are so pleased! 

Sooo, it got me thinking about Mr. Monkey. Mr. Monkey is Les’ child and has definitely seen better days. I have my doubts as to whether he can be helped because of the shape he is in.  But I thought it was worth a try to inquire."

Here are his diagnosis photos, and if you've been a long time reader of my blog, you may guess my response... he's not nearly as bad as you think and we can definitely help him!

The plan was a spa and recovering Mr. Monkey's brown. The brown area was originally knitted (which I don't repair), but we agreed recovering it in a fur or fabric would add to his stability without changing his personality. So he came to the hospital and....

Here he is in his spa:

Much tinier than Eddie, Mr. Monkey is slightly bigger than a hand!

Of course Mr. Monkey (and Eddie) got hearts of original stuffing... here are the two hearts:

There were several fabric options for Mr. Monkey's brown, and his people opted for a thin minky fur. Here he is all better!

Mr. Monkey headed home and when he arrived his family wrote:

"Mr. Monkey is home safe and sound! He looks GREAT! He said he enjoyed being at the hospital, getting such great care from you! By the way he talks, I think he’s quite smitten with you! He says he’ll miss you!  

Anyway, we can’t thank you enough for your TLC and expertise! 

Don’t you love the red bow tie? It came on a Christmas gift and L snatched it and saved it for when Mr. Monkey returned home. "

And here he is looking spiffy in that new bow tie!

Fun facts!

"Nakuko" translates to "crybaby" (lit. "crying child").

The Namahage are oni-like yokai from Japanese folklore. They are said to come down from the mountains of northern Japan during Koshōgatsu to scare villagers and look for "crybabies/bad kids" to punish.

The slinky is the official toy of Pennsylvania!

Kallikantzaroi, also known as "Christmas Goblins", are satyr-like malevolent creatures from Anatolian/South-East European folklore. They live underground, where they spend the year sawing the roots of the World Tree - only to take a break during the 12 days of Christmas to cause mischief in the world above

some art and doodles from a while ago of a creepypasta oc i never got around to writing the story for, its still very dear to me tho so i dont wanna have it just collect dust in my folders LOL. btw third image lyrics are from Ghosts Play to the Audience by Pinocchio-P

its name is Minky (gender apathetic, i usually call it an it) and its a sock monkey jester thats the player character of a forgotten/former lost media wii shovelware platformer called Wacky Wonderland Adventure.

because nobody liked its game for what it was, it started acting out and doing all kinds of creepypasta bullshit because people found it more entertaining that way. it doesn't really like being scary, though, but it doesn't want to disappoint the audience...
