Blue shark with pink mouth and white teeth/belly. Blue pink white are the trans flag colors, shark is defender of the trans flag.
They also defend my bed during non sleepy times, and I hug the small one against my chest with the big one spooning my back when I'm in bed. It brings me incredible comfort and a feeling that I am not alone.
Also, the trek to the physical store is like a pilgrimage to those with one nearby enough to travel there. And for everyone else, there's shipping or knock offs for those that are cash strapped.
I hope this sheds a small amount of light on why someone might be quite interested in these shorks.
