Oh, for the past few years I've named my stuffed animals after desserts, so Chou is my mangled interpretation of the Japanese for "cream puff." My family pronounces it like "shoe." ._. I'll probably name the next one "Mochi," or something that brings daifuku to mind.
As for little brothers...I dunno. I've considered it. Almost all of my other stuffed animals are boys---in fact, I went in and looked at them, and besides ones that are characters from something, there are no girls. So I might want to try and balance it out a little, or I might want to keep Chou special by having her be the only girl...it's complicated. I just feel like I'd be betraying Chou for a new baby if I the new one was anything but Chou.
(YES I KNOW I'M CRAZY.)
My family is outstanding in terms of keeping all my old beloved crap. The only thing we had to put away for good was my bear blanky, because it fell apart in the wash. ;_; It was a gift from my aunt, who loves to sew, so maybe I could get her to put new stuffing and backing on it...
I...guess. I don't know, it's still pretty classic yaoi manga. Which is to say, it's melodramatic and foolish and shows the uke main character blushing for guys while he's a guy. So if the reader was worried about that, then it wouldn't work. I think it's really even more fanservicey than showing two guys kissing, because I personally think it would be groovy if a super seme kissed the opposite sex with decent regularity. And I don't think I'm alone.
