The Slightly Unnerving Carrot Review

The Slightly Unnerving Carrot Review

I got this weird carrot stress toy at Menard's a few days ago for like 2 dollars, and honestly, despite it being a tad bit cursed visually, it's quickly become one of my favorite things to stim with.

The outside of the carrot is a smooth silicone texture, though it is a bit sticky. It doesn't leave any residue on your hands, but it does attract dust and pet hair, so you'll need to wash it pretty regularly. Perhaps the baby powder trick that works with mochi squishies would work on it?

The inside is filled with sand, and the whole thing holds whatever shape you put it into. It takes a bit of skill to get it back to its original shape but it isn't too hard to do. It makes a delightful crunchy sound and feeling that I really enjoy! It is also pretty heavy due to being filled with sand, so if you like weighted toys it's pretty decent for that too.

Despite it being pretty cheaply made, I can't deny how much I like this thing. I just really like crunchy stims,,,,,

Overall I give this a 7/10, taking away some points due to the stickyness.

(p.s. Though the silicone is pretty durable, I wouldn't recommend this for aggressive stimming since I don't know how much it can take! You can find this and the banana version of it in a lot of stores, they're pretty easy to find.)

Attention people who know how to knit!

I have a blanket that was given to me as a baby and for twenty-three years it has never ceased to be a source of comfort as well as my favorite texture to use for stimming. However, it has been through years of use and is beginning to fall apart and that gives me more anxiety than literally anything else in the world. I have a pattern for it that I have ZERO idea how to read, let alone recreate.

So, I’m looking for someone who can read and recreate this blanket - either make a tutorial video that I can see on YouTube so I can follow along and make my own that way, or send me the one that you make. I am willing to pay substantially for this!

If you are interested, please send me a message and we can talk details. I’ve attached the pictures I have of the pattern from the magazine it comes from, so you can see if it’s possible for you. If you’re not interested, still PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS. There is not much I wouldn’t do to get a replacement, or a way to make my own. If you have any friends not on Tumblr who might interested in doing this, let me know about those, too!

Thanks in advance!

hey, remember this post?

i did all these drawings on my ipad that is unfortunately now broken. The screen is impossible to use for long without injuring myself, and the speakers are no longer functional. not only do i use it for my art, but also as an accessibility tool (AAC, learning accessibility etc).

I really really hate asking for this because there are a lot of people out there that need this stuff way more than me but if you guys could help out this autistic black trans kid with getting it replaced, that would mean so much. I’ll be trying to finish up these if I can get it repaired, as well as doing a thank you commission/gift for anyone who can spare to help out!! Either way thank you so much for reading!

4, 13, 20 for the stim ask!

4. What is your least favorite scent?

The smell of chinese food really bothers me for some reason, I don't know why. There's some common spice in it that messes with me I guess.

13. If you could invent a stim toy, what would it be?

I'd love to figure out how to make a dough out if cornstarch that doesn't get dried out easily and doesn't leave so much residue. Cornstarch dough has an amazing texture but it's too messy to stim with regularly sadly.

20. What would be in your dream sensory space?

Remember those climbing ropes with knots in them a lot of school/private gyms have? I would love to have one of those over a soft surface so I could jump off of it. When I used to do gymnastics we had one that went up three whole stories and you could jump off on the top into a foam out and be completely fine.
