Could you address the booping context?
That feels like part of the joke to me, I've never heard of someone's nose getting damaged by a camera boop. XD
i feel like it's not a "i damaged my nose" but a "your nose had a hard bit on it that scratched lens on my iphone when we were trying to take a selfie" combined with the "we damaged our noses booping them together too hard". i dunno, outside looking in.
I'm probably missing some context here as well. Camera boops feel like a meme from a short-form video site like Vine or TikTok, which I don't have any direct experience with.
if you're going to do camera boops, wouldn't you want to, idk, make your nose out of... suede or something nooooo veloour fuck i think you just awoke something in me
XD
I've seen furries put the squeakers from dog toys in the soft fabric noses of their fursuits =3
Nice ref!
i got one of them secret labs chairs back when they had velour pillows and omg that has been so nice for being bald. it has saved my skull from getting clawed by my cat when i try for cat hats (tax paid below). btw, now that i have had the thought, gonna go put on my cat hat.
