♡ AGGHHGHGH HOW DID THE UNIVERSE KNOW I WAS HAVING A BAD WEEK !?!?!? ♡ me n my dad and my bff and their dad went to a city nearby for a pokemon meetup ( gigantamax pikachu. got a shiny ! slightly disappointed .. ). before that tho, we went to mcdonalds for lunch. me n kimchi ( bff. that was her latest fursona's name, i forgot his new one whoops ) were hungry. we go in and when me n my dad r ordering, this kid comes up to me ( must've been between like, 9 - 12, i dunno ) and says that they ( dunno prns ad don't want to assume bc they were more on the androgynous side ) like my kandi. they showed me theirs too ( they had the giant cuff that went from their wrist to halfway up their forearm ) we talk for a bit and then they go back ♡ a bit later when me and kimchi were sitting and talking about our GaYnEsS ( literally lol. i learned zer agender any / all ), they come up to me again. their friend ( who was wearing a tail <3 thinking about it now i should've noticed sooner and complimented her on it sighh ) was wondering if akamaru ( a little grey wolf plush i carry around ) was my essa. i hadn't thought about that fact before so i just said yes, because in the essence of the word, yes he yes lol. then they ask for a kandi trade. oh my god i was so excited. i'd never even met another kandi kid before let alone do a trade <33 i got this cute little pink , black , and purple bracelet ( its giving my melody and kuromi vibes ) and i gave them my black and green ladder stitch. this whole interaction just genuinely made my day ngl. like fr i was about to cry but i didn't. i was so happy <3 i will cherish that little bracelet forever ♡ kimchi just over in the corner existing xDD she took a pic of us though so i was happy about that. idk, just wanted to share my little experience with a kandi trade. first one i've ever done, so i was super happy about that
