Everyone talks about love languages.
There’s a whole list: words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, physical touch.

But plushies? We’ve got our own version.

See, we don’t always speak with words (unless we’re writing blog posts like this one). But we’ve got our ways. You just have to notice the soft stuff.

So here’s how we show we care—plushie-style.

🧁 1. Snacks

Not just any snack. Your favorite snack.

Like when I saved the last cookie for Pandy (okay, half a cookie… okay, a bite, but the thought was full-sized). Or when Mini Blue nudged a trail mix raisin toward me, even though they love raisins. That’s plushie generosity.

Offering snacks = offering love.
Sharing snacks = trusting someone with joy.
Saving snacks = true friendship. (And maybe future snacking.)

🛋️ 2. Snuggles

Sometimes, the most powerful thing in the world is a quiet, smushy flop.

No words. No rush. Just being warm and close and exactly where you’re supposed to be. I’ve learned that when Mini Blue climbs into my hoodie pouch, or when Pandy leans against me during a storm, that’s their way of saying:

“You matter. You’re safe. I’m here.”

I don’t always need a speech. Just a head nudge.

🐾 3. Sitting Nearby

This one’s subtle. Sneaky, even.

It’s when someone doesn’t interrupt your mood—but still wants to be close. It’s the calm presence of Pandy sitting three paw-lengths away with his tea, letting me work out my cookie philosophy crisis without judgment.

It’s Mini Blue silently placing a crayon in my paw when I’m creatively stuck.

It’s love that doesn’t try to fix or fuss. Just sits. Stays. Steadies.

💡 So… What’s Your Plushie Love Language?

You might be a snacker. Or a quiet sitter. Or a champion cuddle monster.

Whatever it is—just know this:

You don’t have to say I love you the loudest to mean it the most.
Sometimes, you just need to share your popcorn. Or your silence. Or your squishy spot on the couch.

That’s enough.

That’s love.
