[00:00:23]>> Hello and welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Natalie Megan and this is Weirdo Book Club.

[00:00:28]Today we're going to be discussing Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow. It is a short sentient object romance novella about a pillow. A pillow? Yes. Because honestly, I thought we could all use a little comfort. And what is more comforting than a good reliable pillow? So, disclaimer, my review will contain spoilers, opinions, and general talking.

[00:00:49]We're going to have a silly goofy time with this. If that doesn't sound like a good time to you, though, you can see yourself out. No big deal. No hard feelings. Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow is an 87page sentient object romance novela about a woman who falls in love with her favorite pillow. And of all the strange things to fall in love with and some of the strange things we've seen people engage with on this channel, I think a pillow is the most believable one we've had yet. Don't you? It was originally published in August 2023 and it is available on Kindle Unlimited. You lucky little ducks. Here's the synopsis. She thought she'd never be able to find a lover and he's been in her bed for years.

[00:01:25]Animeob obsessed an might be a fictaphiliac, which is the desire, sexual attraction, or intense feeling of love towards a fictional character. Or she might just hate touch so much she'll never have. She doesn't really care about the difference as long as she has her favorite pillow to grind against when she needs physical relief.

[00:01:41]Ann's favorite pillow is more than just a feather-filled cotton sack. He's alive, but no one knows it. Hot, pulsing magic weaves between his fibers each time she touches him, and all he wants is to be the man that Anne needs. soft, moldable, and ready to cater to her every desire. But when he has enough magic to become a man, will Anne accept his eager touch? Can flesh and fabric come together in erotic bliss? Will more than one of them end up fully stuffed?

[00:02:07]Stop. Stop laughing. So, in my mind, this is what would have happened if Joel Goldberg had left Gwynever Beck alone with her favorite throw pillow and she bought herself some curtains and just lived happily ever after. And I'm thrilled. I'm the warning. There was a link in the front of the ebook to all the author's books and the content warnings. So, here's what was listed for stuffed food, tentacles, rapid aging. What are we doing? Extreme devotion, insect death, Sylvia. Mention of bird death. Sylvia harassment. Landlord bothering for money. Really into anime.

[00:02:49]Sylvia body horror. Build a perfect man scenario. Feathers, fictilia, fear of germs, ticks, extreme dislike of touching, dislike of people.

[00:02:58]Some of those didn't need to be labeled.

[00:03:01]Let's just keep going. So, chapter one, we have an. She's walking down the street headed for her apartment. Holy [ __ ] dude. Ever hear of personal space?

[00:03:09]I dodge some creep on the sidewalk who walks way too close, nearly brushing up against me. He looks sweaty and grimy. I shudder as I walk away from him. That was way too close of a call. So, she did mention an extreme dislike of people and touching, and that's fair, but this is a bit much. No one even touched you, Ann.

[00:03:28]Anna Banana, he almost nearly brushed up against you. You're walking down a busy city street. I know, I understand a dislike of people and a need for personal space, but if you are existing out in the world, let me just be quiet.

[00:03:44]We just got here. So, she walks back up to her apartment extremely eager to be alone. finally when she bumps into her landlord and oh my god, now I'm wearing a shirt that has touched him. I'm just going to go ahead and let you know now that it's a little weird that she dislikes people so much and dislikes physical touch so much, but then the pillow is supposed to turn into a man that she is supposed to fall in love with. It's just a little weird for me.

[00:04:07]Like all of a sudden the pillow becomes a man and she's okay with that person.

[00:04:11]Can't he just stay a pillow that talks to her? Maybe. I don't know. But whatever. I might be thinking too much about a pillow erotica. The natural exposure therapy that she gets every time she has to walk out the door clearly isn't working though. So, she might need a little bit more therapy. It just seems really extreme and I hope she's okay. He bothers her for some money, the rent money, and she's like, "I'm going to pay you when it's due in a couple of days, as I always do. Can you leave me alone now?" And he goes away.

[00:04:37]So, she gets back into her apartment and immediately strips her clothes off and jumps in the shower to vigorously scrub the day and the yuck off of her. And then she decides to pop on an anime and just relax for the rest of the day. I don't know why she needs to explain. I'm a bit obsessed with anime, but I'm not worried about it. Everybody has a hobby.

[00:04:54]Like, I don't need you to defend yourself to me. We're not in an argument. Like, we I just got here and it's fine if you like anime. She goes on. Now, I don't like real people. I really really don't. Aside from my small family and online friends, that is those particular folks are awesome because I don't have to touch them. I get to enjoy their presence platonically and from at least several inches away. But dating gross. My hoo-ha dries up at the thought. Not your hoo-ha. You know what?

[00:05:19]I've been reading and reviewing books like this on my channel for a little over two years now. I guess it is. Wow.

[00:05:26]Two years. And I haven't seen hoo-ha in print until this very moment. So, bravo, Sylvia. You You're a first for me. She goes on to tell us that she's actually a game designer herself and she works around a lot of men. And even though she works around a lot of men, there are none that appeal to her. She literally thinks dating seems like the worst. She doesn't like physical touch. But fictional characters, that is another story altogether. And I understand that.

[00:05:51]I mean, I don't love any fictional characters that I can think of because I read [ __ ] like this, but I I know a lot of people get very attached to their fictional characters. I I understand. I watch the colors move across the screen clutching a pillow between my legs. My favorite pillow. Oh my god. Pillow has entered the chat. It's the perfect firmness. Soft enough to lay my head on at night, but firm enough to do the naughty things I like to do. I would say that we maybe don't Okay, I love this for you. Okay. And I don't want to take away from that, but why don't we get a second pillow? One for the bits and one for the, you know, Yeah, we could. For someone who just had an entire paragraph talking about how you don't like germs and fluids and all this other stuff, it just seems a little odd to me. Once again, the the conflicting nature of grinding your bits all your hoo-ha, excuse me, your hoo-ha all over a pillow and then plopping your face down on it.

[00:06:45]Now, I understand that our fluids are different than other fluids. It's still fluids, though. I don't know. I I don't know. Let's just go on. More like an embarrassing thing, actually. If anyone saw me, I think I would die. But it just feels so so good with my perfect pillow between my legs and my fictional boyfriend on the TV. Everything is just right in the world. I Okay. I Yeah, sure. So, she's doing it with the pillow, right? And watching her anime on TV with her fictional boyfriend that is helping her reach the finish line. She also is continuing to tell us how much the thought of actual skin touching her grosses her out. And I'm confused how this will play out when the pillow turns into a man. He will have skin. Yes. Or is this a Hellraiser thing? After my moment of release, I fall down onto the bed, relax, and pull the pillow against my head. It's slightly moist, but I don't care. I just flip it around, and I I'll change the case tomorrow. Right now, I'm exhausted. Why is this causing such a reaction out of me? I don't know.

[00:07:51]I just This is what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. I don't I'm sweating. I don't understand how you claim to hate fluids so much. I'm not saying that she doesn't. I just cuz I don't have a fluids aversion. I don't have a problem, you know, and as someone with no problem. I don't want it on my pillow on my face. Can you imagine? Like the amount of money that I spend on skin care is a completely normal amount. I don't know what I'm talking about, but that's e but it's still money. I'm spending money on an exfoliator scrub and a cleanser and a moisturizer and a serum and emergency little star patches and those under eye things just because when I like to feel bougie, they hit the spot for me. But like I just So that was chapter one. She puts her glasses on the night table, self-reflects a little bit more on how she'll never find a real man, and shuts the television off and says good night to her one true love on the TV. Chapter 2. Pillow.

[00:08:50]Can't take this. Oh god. Oh an my darling. My wondrous Anne. She made use of me again tonight and it was glorious.

[00:08:58]It had been ages since she gripped me tight and run me between her warm things. War warm thighs. Warm thighs.

[00:09:06]Warm things. I was beginning to worry.

[00:09:08]She had forgotten about me. I don't know what I would have done if that would have happened. Probably just laid there and carried on existing in some weird liinal space. I imagine is my reason for living. Well, if you could call what I'm doing now living, which I wouldn't at this moment, I'm simply existing. So, we agree. Okay, cool. Though I was part of something alive once, I barely recall it. A phoenix.

[00:09:32]A phoenix. Once upon a time, this phoenix, a powerful and ancient creature known for its ability to regenerate, fell fell in love with a goose.

[00:09:44]Ah, okay. So, I'm sorry. It's a weird day for me. How disappointing. How uninspired. You think a creature of legend would choose something more interesting. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, I'm told. So, um, long story short, they were in love, the phoenix and and the goose. Hong Kong. The goose was taken out and cooked and the phoenix died of sadness. But in the most like in its last moments, one of the Phoenix feathers fell into the pile of goose feathers that the people were scooping up and then stuffed into a pillow. And now we have our I assume male love interest. And since apparently he doesn't have like a vessel anymore, he just kind of exists within the pillow.

[00:10:34]Every time an you know it gives him some sort of flicker of life or something.

[00:10:41]Yeah, that's that's the long and short of it. Honk honk. It can't get weirder than this, right? Just now, a fly buzzes into Anne's room. This will be perfect if things go just right. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you What do you mean? What do you mean?

[00:10:57]>> I wait patiently to see where the insect will go. Not that I can wait in any other way. After all, I'm an inanimate object. We know. Thank you. The fly drops down onto Anne's head, all its disgusting legs touching her glorious mane of golden brown hair. How dare it touch her.

[00:11:15]It's a fly. It's a fly. What is this, sir? Sir, can I call you, sir? Chill. I wait as it flits about on the bed until finally it lands on me. It takes less than half a second for the fly to drop down dead and for me to feel a little more alive. This is Hellraiser. This is Hellraiser because in Hellraiser, this isn't a spoiler really, but the guy that opened the box initially, he somehow escapes the cinnabites and comes back to the house where he used to live and he starts to rebuild himself from the inside out every single time he tastes blood. It starts with just a drop. So with this fly, this pillow is going to step one inch closer to regeneration to a physical. Oh god, I concentrate on using the energy I absorb from the fly to keep my fabric cool and my feathers fluff just the way she likes them. To make sure she never throws me away, I need to remain perfect until I can become the man she needs. She doesn't need a man. She doesn't like men. She doesn't like people because I know she does need me and I need her. Things will be so wonderful when I'm alive. Couple things before we move on. Reiteration of she doesn't want men. She doesn't want skin. She doesn't want a physical human being. Two, a goose down feather pillow.

[00:12:28]A goose down feather pillow. Mm- You don't grind on that. Okay. Not to I'm not Maybe you do. Maybe you do. But I mean, I don't really No, we're not talking about this. Hypothetically, abstractly thinking about it. Have you ever had a goose down pillow that is stuffed with literal feathers? If it is not great quality, which I am not rich enough to afford, those little feathers poke out of the pillowcase and stab you a little bit. And unless you're into that, I don't feel like that would be a really good erotic moment with you in the pillow. She's like, it's soft enough to lay my head on, firm enough to, but it's not firm because goose down pillows, unless they are stuffed full to the brim, goose down pillows are very pliable. They just, you know, that's that's why they're so lush is because you just kind of sink down in them. I'm thinking way too much about humping a pillow. Chapter three, we find Ann back at work. She is wrapping up her day.

[00:13:25]She's excited to get back home and turn on Sailor Scouts or maybe even join a guild with all her online friends and game a little. She is honestly fun. She would probably really like my Discord channel. But before she can go home, she is interrupted by Todd. Hey there, little miss grumpy. At the disruption, she ends up dropping her Copic markers all over the place. So, she bends down to pick him up. She's like, "What do you want, Todd?" He wants to ask her out.

[00:13:52]She is like, "No, big shock there. I'm not interested. I've told you already.

[00:13:56]I'm here for work, not to find a date.

[00:13:58]Please respect that. Respect it, Todd."

[00:14:00]And she's trying not to cry because when she gets too upset, she tends to cry and this is her job and she's the only woman working on the team, so she doesn't want to be seen crying. You can do both. You know, Annie Banani, I literally am I Todd? In fact, I think it might even help your work to experience a little romance. Relax and let your mind free a new idea. He brushes up against her arm and she's like, "Please stop touching me." She's about to cry. Stop touching her. I'll fight you. She says, "No, she doesn't back down. Good for you. Good for her. Good for us." So, she finally does get to leave and she's trying to like maintain her composure, but she only leaves to more nonsense because there's a group of teenagers that stand on a corner that she passes by every day and they usually cat call her even though she works to be as plain as possible. Loose clothes, hairs in a simple bob, she's got glasses, no makeup, and they still bother her. But today, they take it up a notch and they physically assault her, which great.

[00:14:56]What? Call the police. So she screams at them to get off of her. And they call her a crazy [ __ ] Qbuck Cherry.

[00:15:06]She runs into her apartment and finally just takes all her clothes off and gets into the shower again. She thinks to herself, "I hate humans." That's a lot to deal with on just one regular day.

[00:15:16]And it seems like this happens to her a lot. I don't see how this is going to work out if the pillow becomes a human man cuz you don't like human men. But I guess we'll see. Chapter four. We are back with Pillow. Yay. So, he is devastated because he can tell that she's sad. She used the soap, the strong soap that she uses when she's sad. She's just laying flat on her back, kind of staring at the ceiling. And then he feels a wet tear drop onto his pillowcase. And he's like, "I wish I could hold her and comfort her." But just then knocking and she goes, "And please come back. We miss you already."

[00:15:51]He hears her voice and a man's voice.

[00:15:54]And she's never taken a mate. Not while he's been in the picture. Yeah, you must have dropped it when you spilled your stuff like a silly goose.

[00:16:02]Thankfully, your address is on your ID, so I could bring it right over to you tonight. Would be a shame to not have your wallet if you needed it. Might even say you owe me a favor, right, Annie?

[00:16:10]Banani. Oh, it's Todd. So, she's like, "You could have given it to me tomorrow at work, Todd." Like, "Thanks, but get out, please." And he's like, "I have to pee." So he wanders into her apartment and just starts loitering around and he's like, "Oh, is this your bedroom where the magic happens? We should watch something Netflix and chill." And Todd sits down on the bed and pillow is an anxious mess. But he's also like, "Come closer. Will he die? Can he kill Todd if Todd touches the pillow?" Annne starts crying because he won't leave, which is not okay. Get out of my house. Oh, you're so silly, Annie. Come on, have a seat. He pats me to invite her over.

[00:16:48]Yes, he touches me. When his hand lands on me, I suck the life out of him. It's much more difficult than with bugs, I find. He struggles much harder. He tries to lift his hand, but can't. I won't allow it. What the hell? So, Anne grabs him and like pulls him off the bed, but he is vastly older now than he was before. He literally was sucking the life out of him. Oh, well, he does look old enough for death to come soon. Thin gray hair, hollow cheeks, frail body, nearly skeletal. He won't be hurting my aunt any longer. a murderous sentient pillow. Half phoenix, half goose. This is unhinged. Shout out to Vera. So, she's freaking out and calls the police and they come and they take him away.

[00:17:28]She's like, "He collapsed. I don't know what happened." And Pillow is thrilled because as she lays down and holds him close to her, she has no idea that he's doing something incredible inside his stuffing or whatever. Tomorrow we'll be together. An my honestly, so far so good. I'm having a good time. my cute and creepy cup. If you like it, it's in my Etsy along with some other cute things. Chapter five is Ann. It's the next day at work and everybody is like really staring at her weird because of what happened. So, she fakes a migraine so she can go home early. If a man rapidly aged in front of me, like the movie Old and collapsed in my apartment after he invaded my personal space and wouldn't leave even though I was constantly asking him to. I wouldn't have to fake a migraine. I wouldn't have come into work either. She grabs a bag of chips and a soda on the way home and when she gets back into her apartment, something immediately feels off. She clocks it. She's like, "I don't know what's going on, but the vibes are off."

[00:18:22]She goes into her bedroom and finds something weird. When I get to my room, my hand clenches in surprise, causing my bag of chips to burst, making a loud pop sound. The smell of nacho cheese wafts upward. I drop the soda bottle from my right hand, shattering the glass. Ooh, a glass. You're fancy. Sweet carbonated beverage sprays all over my feet, all over the walls, and in the direction of my bed. My bed, where some horrible thing is pulsing and stretching. What the is it? This is Hellraiser. I'm loving this. Chapter 6. Pillow. Okay, so Ann is there. She's completely gagged. I understand why she's upset. I'm not fully formed. She isn't supposed to be home for hours, and I haven't finished building myself yet. Damn. What does he look like? Somebody needs to give me a visual description. Oh, good. He does.

[00:19:06]As of right now, my lower half is mostly formed. I have feet, legs, hips, even pants. None of it is fully detailed, but it started at least. My upper half, however, is a mess. So, lower half, he's a Kendall with trousers. And the upper half, my chest, arms, and head are simply four pillows.

[00:19:24]What? They aren't particularly firm or attractive pillows at the moment.

[00:19:28]They're only blank placeholders for upcoming pieces. It's quite embarrassing to be seen this way. After spending so many years making myself into the perfect pillow.

[00:19:37]This is so goofy. Dare I say this is silly gooseery. Goose downery. Not all of my upper half is blank though. Part of my face is formed in the topmost pillow. My god. Can you imagine? You just walk into your room and you're greeted by, "Hey, what's up? Don't mind me."

[00:19:55]She's freaking out. She's losing all of her color. She may pass out. And so he's tries to talk to her and calm her down.

[00:20:00]But when he opens his mouth, my voice sounds as if a creaking door in an old air conditioner had a child and shat it into my mouth. Should I try to figure out what that means? Should I Should I try a creaking door and an old air condition? So, a creaking door, right?

[00:20:16]Got it. Old air conditioner.

[00:20:23]Can you imagine? Oh my god. And begins to hyperventilate. I begin to panic.

[00:20:27]What do I do now? I don't know, but definitely.

[00:20:31]>> So, he decides to channel some of his formative energy into working on his vocal cords so he can at least explain what she's looking at because right now he looks like a monster. And >> April.

[00:20:43]>> Ann, my voice isn't perfect yet, but it's not horrible. It's whispery and rough, but it's getting better. Don't be afraid. Please. I won't harm you. Please forgive me for my appearance. I shall fix it shortly. and blinks once and then says, "Oh, okay then." I mean, honestly, I don't know what I would say either.

[00:21:00]This is Hellraiser, though. This is exactly what happened in the scene that what's her face walks up and finds Frank halfformed in the attic. He's like, "Of course, my Anne would accept me." And then she faints. She hits the deck and he's like, "All right, time to make a functioning body so I can help her."

[00:21:16]She's out for so long that he's able to kind of finish up. He's not able to get completely 100% done, but he looks more human than monster now. He even used some of the ink from the tag on the pillow that he was to color some of his features on his face. That's not a lot of ink. And if she's had you for a long time, that ink fades, but I'm not going to do this. Okay. So, she comes to finally and he's like, "Hi, welcome back." Chapter 7 is an can't wait to hear what she's thinking. So, she's like, "What are you?" She also wants to try to run, but he's standing in front of the door, so she's not going to be able to do that. And he's like, "Well, the short answer is I'm your pillow.

[00:21:55]Your favorite pillow. I'm just a little different now, as you can see." And she's like, "No [ __ ] How'd you get here?" I upgraded myself today. I'm not complete. Building a person takes a lot of detailed work, but I'm getting closer. I'm saving the fine details until I get your input. You see, I built myself for you, an you should decide on my final form. She gets to build a person and dictate what features look like what what the fe Yeah. So she's like, "What do you mean?" Great question. And I've been in love with you for years. I've kept myself firm and cool for you and tried every day to find a way to become more. Today I have done it. We can finally be together. You are my love. Make me yours. Okay. Well, that's pretty intense. And look, dude, I'm not even sure I'm not hallucinating.

[00:22:41]That's fair. She's got a firm grip on reality and I'm happy about that for her. This is a lot. She's like, either I'm going insane or there is a pillow monster that is rapidly moving way too quickly through the relationship department. And either way, I don't like either of those options. And so he's like, you know, I am real. I assure you I'm real. And you know, if you'll just give me a few more minutes, I can spruce everything up and get it right. But you have to tell me what you want. Tell me what your ideal man is. her ideal man is no man or a fictional man that's in the television that she doesn't have to touch. So again, I just don't see how this is going to work, but whatever. And she says as much. She's like, I don't know what to do because I don't know if you know I don't like people. I know an I know you. That's why you must understand that I'm not like them. Not flesh and blood. When you touch me, there will be no sweat, no germs, nothing to fear. Well, that's an interesting little Okay. I'll only appear how you want me to. I'll only touch you how you want me to. I'll never make you sick. never betray you or insult you. I'll never hurt you. I'm yours, Anne. Please complete me. Okay, okay, I'll allow it. She's contemplating this. She's she's ruminating. She's settling. She's simmering, you know, and she's like, you know, if I can do this, I finally have the ability to touch someone. Shouldn't I try to figure that out? Shouldn't I try? Well, there's this anime butler, I say. I think that's a good place to start if we're working on appearance. So, chapter eight is Pillow.

[00:24:06]And he says that they work for hours to get his form right. She requests things.

[00:24:09]She even sketches with her fancy markers. And I really don't understand this. Just turn the television on and show him the butler and say that someone already literally sketched it. Anyway, when he's done, my dark hair falls over one eye. I bite a pouty lip seductively as I watch her inspect me one final time before she says I missed anything. What?

[00:24:29]So he's finished and she, you know, gives him a once around, once over to see if he missed anything. And she's like, "Wow, you look great." Obviously, if anyone gets too close, they'd see you're made of fabric. I mean, I think the being made of fabric thing is awesome, but you'll just have to not get super close to other people, I guess.

[00:24:46]Why would he get close to other people?

[00:24:47]He says the same thing, too. That's not a problem. I don't care about anyone else, only you. Man, you're really killing me. He seriously only exists because of me. He's a pillow monster, man. that has only lived in your apartment. Well, I mean, he was a Yeah.

[00:25:02]Okay. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're still going to have relationship insecurity, I imagine. I guess this might be her first relationship. So, yeah, I'll leave her alone. Fine. So, he's picking up on some anxiety coming from her and he's like worried about it because he's not trying to be super intense, but you know, oh, and you have no idea how much you mean to me. You're the reason I exist and the reason I want to keep existing. Yeah, that's a little intense. Um, for someone who has agorophobia and a fear of germs and touching and and men in general, well, I feel kind of weird. I mean, how long have you been sentient? Because I've I've done stuff. I've been sentient for quite a while now. And if you're wondering whether I've been aware that you've ground your gorgeous gut against me, the answer is yes.

[00:25:48]The way you're grinding my bean, stop.

[00:25:50]She's like, "Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed." And he's like, "Don't be.

[00:25:53]You'll never have to do that to yourself again because I'm here to serve you. He takes a risk and steps closer to her and she doesn't pull back. She doesn't retreat. And she's like, "I should be afraid, but you're irresistible." And he's like inside. He's like, "Yes, because we were meant to be together because I'm literally made for you because I will do anything it takes to claim you, serve you, and keep you."

[00:26:16]"No, I know what you would like to hear." I grin as I reply in a partial quote I know she'll love. I'm simply one hell of a pillow jail. Pillow jail. What is pillow jail?

[00:26:31]The the linen closet. You got to go. So, chapter nine is Ann. But before we start, I just want to go back a second and be just mindful of the fact that he's a fabric man. So, he is essentially a life-siz doll. A sentient doll that is made entirely of fabric and stuffing. I That's it. I just I guess I just wanted to say that out loud and and remember it together here with you. Can we hold hands?

[00:27:02]So, she's like, "What now?" And he's like, "Anything you want." And she's like, "Anything." Like, does it have to be sexy time? Like, does it have to be like that because I just met you? And he's like, "You actually didn't just meet me. I've been here for a while, but I understand what you mean. I said we could do whatever you want, and I meant that shit." And he continues by saying, "You know, everything that I know is because of you. Like, I've heard you say things or I've seen you watch things. I admit I have a fondness for the hentai you watch." And perhaps that influenced my initial enthusiasm.

[00:27:33]But he says that he loves all the things that she loves. So, just tell me what you want to do and we'll do it. She's like, "Oh god, you've watched hentai.

[00:27:41]even the stuff with tentacles. And he's like, "Yeah, I actually pretty liked that one." What? Don't be embarrassed.

[00:27:46]You obviously liked it, too. You were grinding all up on me. Don't be embarrassed. I loved it. She stares at the boob light on her ceiling for a little bit. And then she's just like, "Maybe we can hold hands for a bit." And he's like, "Sure, come. Let's lay on this inferior pillow." So she's like, "What's your name? I can't call you pillow forever." And he's like, "I would love it if you would give me a name."

[00:28:07]And she's like, "That's a lot of pressure, but I guess I am the only person you know." So, she steps back.

[00:28:11]She just takes a look at him. And then she lingers on his area cuz she's like, "I didn't build that. Um, I don't know if that's his area that he's going to build or if he took care of that before I got here." He's like, "Hello, my eyes are up here." And she's like, "Oh no, I got caught thinking about the D." So then she lands on, which sounds like the French word for pillow a little bit. Ah, I have a name now. A man with a name.

[00:28:32]Who would have thought that just a few minutes ago I was just a place to rest your head? And now we can do anything.

[00:28:37]And she's like, "Yeah, you got a name now. you can order Starbucks. And he's like, "Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking." And then laughs. And she says that it's like a hero's laugh in every story. And I just can't imagine anything besides, >> don't make me laugh.

[00:28:51]>> This man is going to get annoying really fast. I fear. Just then, he sits up and says her name, and his neck like flops over. Something's wrong. Oh my god. I bet I know what it is. I bet you're going to have to grind your bean on him so that he comes back to life. I think I need a little more power. Being both pillow and man is fine. Good for us even. But I think I might be weighted a little too heavy on the pillow side currently. I'm afraid if I don't get more power, I might fall apart. I'm a little frightened. Dan, tell me what I need to do to save you. I bet I know.

[00:29:20]Chapter 10 is Aie, formerly known as Pillow. He's like, "Oh man, here goes nothing." And to get the life I need to take bits from others. I was I know this may be disturbing, but forgive me. I was surviving on the life energy of insects until recently. Oh, that explains all the dead flies and stuff I find in my bed sometimes.

[00:29:41]Anyway, he's like, "Yeah, that's sorry about that. It wasn't enough though. I need more now." And he explains that that's what happened to Todd. Like he vampired him and that's how he is here now in front of you asking for something else. I don't know. She high-fives him for killing Todd like you do. And she's like, "Okay, how do we do that? I don't know if I could get Todd back over here." So, I guess Todd didn't die. He just is now 87 and he's like, "No, I guess not. But do you know any other massive [ __ ] that you could bring over? This is Hellraiser."

[00:30:13]He's like kind of wary cuz she doesn't seem into this idea. So he's like, "I was just kidding." And she's like, "No, it's okay. I do know a whole bunch of jerks." Like, "What are you saying? What are you saying that you're about to do?"

[00:30:26]She grins and cackles and rubs her hands together and is like, "Let's go for a walk."

[00:30:33]am. Chapter 11. An I'm not a cruel person. I swear. I just really don't like people who grab on me without permission. Fair. But do we need the idea of having a tiny bit of revenge is too delicious to resist. Grabbing my purse and Ory's hand on the way out. I grin like a fiend as I march towards the door. I thought we were not going to let people get close to him cuz he's a fabric pillow man. You're now you're going for a walk. Okay. He's like, "Where are we going?" And she's like, "You don't need to like suck the life out of them the way you did with Todd, right? It could just be a little bit and it goes really fast. So let's say you just like walk through a whole bunch of jerks. You can do it really fast." And he's like, "Yeah." So yeah, he's kind of, you know, crunching in on himself cuz he's not able to stand up. So she leads him to the street corner where the 19-year-old street toughs usually hang out. And she's like, "These guys grabbed me the other day and said bad words to me. They called me bad words. though I don't feel super bad if you were to take just a little bit of life force from each of them and then you'll feel better and he's like anything for you an chapter 12 or they approach the gaggle of street toughs and they start cat calling her and heckling her again heckling I guess sure one of them like touches her face and Ory is like no one touches Anne but me I'm going to enjoy this he kind of wants to kill them all but he knows that she wouldn't want that and it also probably would cause some problems so he just brush brushes his fingertips over fingertips over them a little bit and takes a little bit from each one of them, leaving them kind of stunned and confused, looking at one another as they head back to the apartment. When they go in, she goes to the bathroom to scrub her face where that one gross guy touched her. When she gets back from washing her face, he's built himself up to be a little bit stronger than he was. There's still one area that needs to be built, though, and he's saving that. I wonder which one it is. She's like, "How are you feeling?"

[00:32:23]And he's like, "Spectacular. Our mission was a success." I don't know why I give him that voice now, but anyway, she's like, "Good, because I want to do stuff.

[00:32:31]The time has come." And so is she. He's like, "What do you mean?" And she's like, "It's finally time I experienced real touch. Orie, touch me." So he like tucks her hair behind her ears and she's like, "Touch me everywhere." This is a quick 180. But he's not he doesn't have skin. That was my main concern cuz she made a point of saying how much she hates sweaty, grimy, dusty skin. dusty.

[00:32:53]But that was my main complaint that he was going to have skin if he turned into a man. And how was that going to work?

[00:32:57]But he's not a skin human. He's a fabric human. So he starts touching her and lifts her up and it feels really great.

[00:33:06]And then he puts her on the bed and he's over on top of her, which he's never seen this angle before. Have you ever tried this one?

[00:33:14]>> And then she kind of starts to freak out. She's like, "Is this too fast?

[00:33:17]Should we be like going a little slower or whatever?" And he's like, "Why wait?

[00:33:20]I I understand." Yeah. He takes her clothes off and runs one of his fingers over her and she's like, "It feels more like denim than skin." I'm not sure how I feel about that. Um, and neither is he. He's like, "Have I upset her? Have I offended her? Have I disgusted her?" Oh, no. Not at all. It's perfect. I freaking love it. Seriously, if this trend continues and I don't have to worry about you feeling like skin in my other sensitive spots, then I'm going to be ecstatic. Ori, for real. In fact, we should check right now to see if it's just your thumbs that feel like fabric.

[00:33:52]She is a saucy little minkx. So, the first thing they do is kiss. She says that his lips feel like satin. Actually, you know what? I'm on this. I'm with them now. He's got denim fingers and a satiny lip. What are we do? What if it's velvet? She's tickled and she's like, "This is perfect. I Why are you not undressed? Take your clothes off, please, for the love of God." So he does and she's like gagged at how hot he is.

[00:34:18]Damn, we did a really good job designing you, didn't we? I mean, you looked good before, but after you got all the extra juice from the corner guys, you're really, wow. So, she undresses a little bit more and they're being really cute and playful with each other and I kind of don't hate it so far. This is kind of fun. However, when it comes time for him to get undressed waist down and she's like straddling him, he's like, "We need to talk." Chapter 13 is an she's like, "What's wrong?"

[00:34:44]Nothing's wrong, my love. We simply need to finish something. You see, we still need to complete my and the rest of the bits, too. I suppose she gets to build it to her exact likings.

[00:34:56]She's thrilled. She's like, "Wah!" You know, and she's excited to think about like the prospect of building it exactly to her liking, but then she also says like, "You know, I got excited there for a minute that I was about to Dr. Frankenstein this whole thing, but I have no idea what I want cuz I've never done this before. I've only seen it on TV and stuff. And so he's like, "We could start there." She's like, "Yeah, I I can do that. I can start with what I know." I'm a child of the internet after all. I've seen them before. I always look away really quickly because humans, men. But let's start with like 6 in, no curve, kind of thick. Let's start there.

[00:35:31]And then she's embarrassed. She's like, "That is so awkward." Things start to under the pants, right? And she's like, "Is it time for me to look now?" on.

[00:35:40]He's like, "Yeah, just remember you can change anything you want." And then when she like he starts to get a little shy, but she's like, "Don't worry, you look hot. I think I should sample the goods and see if I like it." Right? So, she starts to all of it. You know, if this pillow man shoots out feathers, I am done. So, they're messing around and he's like, "We should probably focus on other areas before I just make a mess everywhere. if he splooshes out feathers, I'm going to be very upset. And she's like, "Okay."

[00:36:12]And he reminds her again that they can adjust anything that she wants to. And she's like, "Can we adjust it while it's in there?"

[00:36:20]And he says that that's a great idea.

[00:36:22]Shall we give it a go then? I don't know why it's written like, "Is he British? I I'm not real sure. I'm not sure what he is. He's grally. He's raspy. He's whispery. He's British." I don't know.

[00:36:32]Chapter 14 is Aie. So, um, he asks her to show him her pretty and then asks that she spread it so he can see all of her. And she's like, "Oi, don't deny me now. Be a naughty girl for once, my sweet Ann." So, she does. She draws back the curtains and he's like, "May I taste you?" And she's like, "Sure, bonapetit." She doesn't say bonapetit. I said that. So, he makes a meal out of her with his satiny tongue.

[00:37:04]She arrives and she's like, "Oh my gosh, that was great." When he pulls back, his face is all smooshed cuz he's a pillow.

[00:37:11]She's like, "Oh my god, Ora, your face."

[00:37:14]And he just goes all better. So yeah, that happened. And then she's like, "I think I'm ready for you know." And he's like, "What?" And she's like, you know, and he's like, "You have to say it >> out loud."

[00:37:27]>> He goes on a whole spiel about how he's waited for her to say these words and to do these things with her. So say the words, my sweet darling. Yes, please. Or now I need it. As you wish. Oh my god.

[00:37:40]Chapter 15 is an Annie Banani. I'm begging for a pillow to me. What kind of day is this? I mean, he's in man form, but still. This has to be the first time in history it's ever happened. I'm seriously about to lose my virginity to a living pillow. Holy [ __ ] Just Just have fun. Just have fun, Annie. But Annie. Okay. So, he goes really slowly, but he does like start to enter and she's like, "Wait, be smaller for a second. You're kind of too big and it hurts." Which depending on what fabric he feels like down there. This might not be fun. But anyway, he's like, "Brilliant." So, he gets a little smaller. They kiss kind of ease back into the moment. And he's in there and she tells us, "You feel so good. Your is like some impossible combination of velvet, silk, and latex. So soft and smooth. It feels like nothing I could have imagined. I told you it was velvet.

[00:38:31]I told you. I said it. I knew. I knew.

[00:38:36]What does that say about me? I don't want to I don't want to unpack it right now. Maybe we'll do it later. Now that he's in there, she's like, "You can grow bigger now. Everything's cool."

[00:38:45]>> And they're having a good time. It's going well. And she's like, "Bigger, more."

[00:38:50]>> She's not sure if she can handle it, but she wants it. I want to be done. It's a lot. She arrives and it's delightful. But he's like, "You're not done yet, Ann." Oh no.

[00:39:03]Remember, I liked the tentacles that we watched. What are we up to? So then he produces tentacles and they're they're doing all sorts of stuff. What a way to lose your VC card, huh? He's like, "What are you doing?" And he's like, "Anything you want. That's my whole thing." A third tentacle nudges against my rear entrance unexpectedly and I flinch.

[00:39:23]After a few breaths, I relax and decide that if I'm going to be a tentacle, then I may as well go all the way in. Come on in. The back door is open. So, they're having fun. She arrives. She just explodes like a volcano. And then he's like, "I'm almost at my destination as well." So, she's like, "Yeah, great.

[00:39:41]Fill me up." And she thinks to herself, "I can't get pregnant, right? So, the breeding thing won't be a problem." She is full of ideas. And him and he's like, "You don't understand. What doesn't she understand?

[00:39:54]What doesn't she understand? What are we about to get? What's about to happen? He he approaches the precipice and then pulls out and then she feels delicate feathery softness float down onto her stomach. I knew it. Again, I don't know what this says about me. Anyway, he's feathers everywhere. And she starts laughing. She can't help it. And she's like, "I'm not laughing at you. Please, I'm sorry. Come here." She holds him for a bit cuz he's feeling a little shy.

[00:40:19]Just unexpected. And he was like, "Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of it before." She was like, "No, it's fine because I don't want to have children.

[00:40:26]So, this is this works out perfectly.

[00:40:28]You have to sweep all this up, though."

[00:40:29]And he's like, "Deal, fair deal." I think they hold each other. And he's like, "We need to get another pillow for me since you're one short, but you don't need one. You have me." And he's she's like, "Okay, let's get some rest and then we can learn about all the other things that I want to teach you." Chapter 16 is Aie.

[00:40:46]They're at the animal shelter for some reason and she's like, "Kittens are the best. They're fuzzy wuzzy. Here, hold this one." And the cat really likes him and then scratches him and a feather floats up. So, he's playing with the feather and they're like, "Maybe just a hamster." Yeah. Or a fish. They do end up adopting a fish. HIS NAME IS Previous owner kept him in a small bowl and that's just really sad. Do they have fish at animal shelters? Somebody let me know cuz I've never seen such a thing.

[00:41:13]But whatever. Anyway, knock knock knock on the door. Who could it be? It's the landlord. He's been bothering them ever since the pillow man showed up. And he's like, "Oh, I see you have a fish. That's a pet fee. You'll need to pay me." And he's like, "I don't think that's necessary." And he's like, "Well, if you have one pet, you probably have another.

[00:41:29]Do you have a cat or a dog?" And as he's like looking around, he's like, "Well, I guess not, but I'll be back soon." And since Pillow Man Oie needs to feed on life forces of humans, he just grabs him by the throat. I don't believe you will be back, James. I don't believe you'll bother me or my precious Ann again. I forgot who I am. I begin to drain his life force slowly, relishing the feeling of taking revenge on this parasite. I watch as he turns gray, feel my leg become stronger as he does. Before I'm able to take all his life, I stop, letting go of his throat. He falls, but I catch his limp form. No, you won't be coming back, will you? Um, yeah. I was worried for a second there because I was like, if you kill the landlord, there's just going to be a new landlord. And what if they up the prices or kick you out or evict you? Like, we need to think about the consequences of our actions here. But he let him live. I guess he just takes what he needs. He lets him go and returns back into the thing and he feels this weird thing on his wrist. So he looks and skin. Oh no, I must have taken too much. He checks everywhere else, but that's like the only spot.

[00:42:27]He's like, "Oh my god, Ann's going to hate this." Ann arrives home and he rubs her feet and he's like, "Do you want me to order you tacos? Curry? Are you hungry? Order me some curry? I'm starving." She's like, "Oh no, I'm good.

[00:42:38]We had a pizza party at work in lie of getting an actual raise. So, I'm stuffed. She said the thing. And he looks at her with a grin and says, "Actually, I believe I'm the one that's stuffed. Get out. You can't stay anymore. Forget it." The end. We've reached it. Ah, my god. Okay, so there is a sequel. It's called Double Stuffed.

[00:43:00]That's something to look forward to. Let me know in the comments if you want me to review that one, too. Apparently, heard the author's note at the end of the book. There's a stuffed audio book, but I don't know why you would need it.

[00:43:11]I did such a good job just now.

[00:43:14]Right. So, that was Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow. I don't know about you, but I had a swell time. Honestly, every sentient object romance that I've reviewed on this channel has been slightly a fun time. Whether it's a beverage or a door or now a pillow, I feel like I'm missing some other things, but maybe I just read them and didn't review them. Oh, I read Push and Cushions about a couch and that was pretty fun. Maybe I'll review that at a certain time closer to the inauguration date. I honestly didn't hate this. I think that it was silly and it was weird, but it was creative and it was fun and it didn't take itself too seriously and I really appreciate that.

[00:43:55]Buffoonery and shenanigans aside, I just I I love a fun good time book. And like I said, I think we all need a little comfort around the holidays and just in general. Life is hard, right? Being a human is hard. If only we could all be pillows. I think three stars. Three and a half stars, dare I say. I don't know.

[00:44:15]It was pretty fun. I really nailed it with the velvet prediction and the feather prediction. I just fear that something in these books is doing irreparable damage to me. But is it damage if it's something that I delight in? Is it time wasted if it's time enjoyed? You know, uh, we can argue about that until the cows come home. But I didn't hate this book. I thought it was pretty fun and I look forward to exploring more things by this author.

[00:44:41]And let me know what you think down in the comments. Make sure to like the video and share it with a friend if you feel so inclined. I have a bunch of links down in the description so you can keep up with me in various different ways. Thanks again to Blesa for sponsoring this video. I also wanted to take a moment to remind you that I'm still trying to actively fund raise for my friend Hanine, who's trying to evacuate her family out of Gaza. Please help us reach that goal before the new year and the new administration takes over. He's talking about a lot of really dangerous things, especially for immigrants, and I really want to get her family to safety as quickly as possible.

[00:45:14]When we reach the goal, I will read and review Where's Molly by HD Carlton. It will be much less fun than this one, but I will do it if it means getting their family to safety. I also wanted to tell you that I would really appreciate it if you would sign up for my binder. It's a newsletter. It's a blog. It also has paid options that you can sign up to support my work and you get early access and bonus content. But you don't have to sign up for a paid plan. You still get stuff on the free plan. You get uh updates on what I'm reading, book reviews in the form of blogs, occasionally a download or something.

[00:45:47]So, it's it's still something that's worth keeping up with and it helps me out because if I get enough engagement over there and a community comes to fruition, then I can turn into an imprint and publish books under that imprint. And I think that that's kind of cool and it would be really fun to do as a 2025 goal. And you can help me get there even if you sign up for a free membership. It helps me if you sign up for the paid one because it supports all the work I do on this channel so that I can make sure that I am able to prioritize and provide quality content for you guys. But you don't have to sign up for a paid one. I appreciate you being here at all. You also get access to my Discord channel if you sign up for the free membership. So yeah, lots to think about. If you stayed to the end of this, leave um is there a pillow emoji?

[00:46:27]Let me check. No pillow. Is there a feather? There's a feather. Leave a feather emoji if you made it this far. I appreciate you being here with me. I hope you had a happy holiday and I hope you have more happy holidays in front of you. We're approaching December, I believe, when this video comes out and New Year's and January with even though my birthday is in January, it is arguably one of my least favorite months. Seasonal depression and all the other things that come up in January.

[00:46:56]Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video.

[00:46:57]Thank you so much for watching, liking, sharing, commenting, engaging, helping me grow this channel. I appreciate you.

[00:47:03]I'm thankful for you. I love you. You don't have to say it back. And I'll see you in the next one. Roll the beautiful bean footage. He's the cutest little baby on the block.

[00:47:13]He's trying to eat my socks. I actually made up a really ridiculous parody song of Espresso about beans. Thinking about beans every night. Oh, is it that sweet?

[00:47:23]I guess so. But I can't sleep. He's biting my toes. That's that beans attack mode. He's not a fan. He He's not a fan.

[00:47:31]See you in the next one. Bye.
