If the stuffed animal backpacks I want actually had all the compartments and stuff my trail bag had, I would definitely have a stuffed animal backpack.
I only really see 2 options: a backpack that looks cute or a backpack that is actually functional. (With the cute bags I want not the sonic one in the meme)
That’s where you split difference. Get a functional bag with all the pockets and then accessories with the fun stuff. Put some wacky patches, pins, or stickers on there. Attach some keychains on the zipper pulls. Extra points if they’re the mini stuffed animal kind.* You could even decorate the handle and straps. A little or a lot it’s all up to you :) Bonus: it let’s you show off multiple interests.
*points in my book at least. Becuase I’m a sucker for plushies.
Futaba would say “fuck what society thinks”
If you’re interacting with something every day, talking about things like your phone case, your wallet, maybe a pocket knife or keyring, any of those objects should make you happy, or at least not cause you any anxiety. Think of how many hundreds or thousands of little interactions you’ll have with that thing, and multiply the feeling during that moment, and consider the net emotional total during the lifetime of the object.
I had a number pad that I was using almost every day, but it was a bit crummy, so I splurged and got a better one. If I have to use this thing all the time, then by God I’m going to enjoy using it!
What if grey man tacticool gear is my thing?
Secret third option where you do both. Wear sonic the hedgehog underwear.
