Patiently waiting for being cuddled ^.^ The red ribbon makes him even more plushy :3

I wonder what he was thinking about then :D

The ribbon really ties it all together doesn't it? ;)

And probably something along the lines of 'I know its the season of giving and all, but why did her gift have to be *me*?'

Mostly because now he'll feel obligated to let Karry play with him a bit, since he was her present and all lol

That and sitting under the tree all night is boring.

Yes xD It makes him look like the perfect present ^.^

Only the best gifts for Christmas ^.^

True, he is her plush toy now so she surely wants to play with him? :D

Oh, yes, thats one disadvantage of being inanimate 😅

Yeah, he'd try not to admit it but being found and played with was actually quite nice and certainly more fun than sitting and waiting.

Even if quadrupeds playing with plushies tends to be a bit different (read: more teeth) to bipeds. Don't worry though, Karry knows to be gentle with her toys lol.

Nawww, adorable 💜 He is a good plush :D Cute that he secretly likes being found and played with :3 Who propped him up that cute under the tree? ^.^

Good to know that Karry is gentle with her toys :D What was she thinking seeing her present? ^.^

Of course, all plushies should like being played with!

And my headcanon is that the critter that transformed him dropped him off there :)

Combination of "Aw, its so cute!" And a silent "This is definitely Shima, but if I act like I don't realise he'll let me play for longer" lol

Yes, especially plushie kitsunes ^.^ Though nobody should see him to not make him blush even more xD

Nawww, cute :D So she cuddled him herself and then thought about turning him into a Christmas present? :3

How did the critter trick Shima? xD

Clever Karry, playing as long as she can 💜

She's one of the characters of the artist, and iirc she just has this thing where anyone she hugs turns into a plushie lol

Not even that intentional on her end, though she doesn't know how to turn them back...

Thankfully John and Karry do, hence why he got sent to them for Christmas lol

And of course, she's a fox too after all, she can be sneaky if she wants to.

Ah, now I understand the first two cute pictures and how Shima was so easily turned into a big floofy cuddly toy ^.^ The ability is nice :3

Oh 😅 That would have meant a long plushie time for poor (lucky) Shima? xD

Sneaky fox always wins 💜 So Karry could keep him a day longer if she is the one turning him back? 😅

Indeed!

And yes, he got stuck for... A while. The christmas pics were comissioned a while layer than the first three lol

Pretty much lol, and can just say she only noticed after sleeping on it or something. Maybe more than a day...

Shima would surely say, it was just because of being nice to the Teddiursa? xD

Poor plushie ...ehh...I mean poor Shima xD At least he was always cuddled by the Teddiursa and cute, so he was not too vindictive? :D

Good choice of Karry 💜 She is the animate critter, she decides xD

Pretty much, and he deep down doesn't mind it too much

Yes, whichever is not currently a plushie is the one that decides when to turn back lol

Nawww, Shima is cute for that 💜 He secretly liked his plush state more than he would admit? ^.^

What embarrassed him more, being "tricked" by Teddiursa and stuck as her cuddly toy, or being Karrys Christmas present? :3

True, plushies become already cute and fluffy, they dont get any decision rights xD 💜

The latter mostly, because its someone he actually knows and sees daily lol

Exactly!

Understandable :D Especially as she could show him to others he know, in his plush form? :3

Maybe once hit by a plush spell of any kind, this viewpoint could change xD

That too, yes lol
Pretty sure there's a pic or two of Karry in plush mode on here too lol

Does Shima also have the power to turn someone back? :D

Really? I have to search, she is surely also cute as plush 💜

He does, I have a couple stories about it but basically, Shima has effectively cartoon physics where he can flatten someone into a drawing, then change them into whatever he wants.

Its how John got a Lycanroc form :)

Ah, cool :D

I have to admit, Shima fits the plush role very well 💜

I found one of Karry ^.^

How is John connected to Shima plushie and Karry? :)

He does actually lol. Ninetales plush is cute.

John's my main character/fursona, the three are friends and attend the 'Lunar Academy' which is a shared setting with a friend and a lot of other people's characters.

TLDR a lot of the characters in that setting go way more permenant than these three like to, so they watch eachother's backs while also having some fun with eachother.

As an example I made a short story referencing a running joke where John keeps getting turned into welcome signs/statues lol:

Yes, really adorable as a plush 💜

Sounds cool ^.^ So they try to reverse spells after having fun with the transformed one and check that no one else is letting them stay permanent? :D

Nice, I will read that, sounds really funny xD

Pretty much lol
It is *very* short lol

Yes 'short' :) But I love the relationship of your trio :3 Karry, John and plushie Shima ^.^ (more plush appearancses of him :3 though he could have something against it xD 😅💜)
