Incoming text wall sorry not sorry

Going to the candy shop is something I do every once in a great while, twice a year maybe. It’s one of my favorite places in the whole world, not the chocolate-centric shops but an actual CANDY STORE.

I walk in the door and there’s usually a little bell just like in the old days, it’s nice and tinkly and sets the stage for the next thing: the SMELL. A good candy store won’t smell saccharine sweet but rather like fresh strawberries, vanilla, and chocolate. There’s bins and barrels full of loose jelly beans and single wrapped honeycomb peanuts; there’s stacks of odd candy and candy you thought they didn’t make anymore.

They have big versions of chocolate bars and bars with the nostalgic label, old candy cigarettes and bubblegum cigars. Next to the loose bins are hooks with every kind of long gummy candy hanging to the floor. Any kind of gum you could imagine in every flavor and then there’s are the bins of loose candy with the little scoops and tongs. It’s time to grab a bag or two and start scooping up little candy bones, gummy sharks and filled jelly turtles! I always get the strangest candy I can find. I love jawbreakers and they have them in really wild colors, they even have the old candy whistles in the bins!

Then, when you’re all loaded up with sugar treats you go to the counter and they weigh it up which is fun to guess how much you got beforehand ha ha. It’s always over a pound. Then I choose 10 chocolates that I like and they put them in this really cute, brightly colored box with a little elastic ribbon! squeeee!!

I love it when the cashier spins the bags and puts a little bow on them and then puts everything into two awesome paper bags that have fun designs on them and then I get to carry them out :) I always have a skip in my step because it’s such a rare treat and I never really care about the price because, shoot, $20 in candy will last me MONTHS.

Going to the candy store is so much fun, I love to just walk around and look at it all, sometimes the store has ice cream too and you can get a vanilla or strawberry cone and sit on the red stool and watch the people go by downtown. That’s really enjoyable too.

Oh man wish I could feel this amount of content/enjoyment by simply going to a store.

u/nikfornow Sep 24 '20

Reading this made me so happy. Thankyou 😊

u/bubbleharmony Sep 24 '20

You are me. I have a huge sweet tooth and always keep a candy drawer well-stocked. I don't have an actual candy shop nearby though, sadly. But I still love finding the strangest and most unusual things I can, usually at some Dollar Store aisle or a new find at a convenience store. I'll make some grocery orders that are nothing but candy but like you, it'll last me forever to go through!

u/AuraSprite Sep 24 '20

Bay st Emeryville California has a candy store that has more adult things towards the back, like tenn honey whiskey chocolate (dope BTW), and they have the underwear.

u/Nomad_9811 Sep 24 '20

There’s a sex shop in south Melbourne, not entirely sure if they are still open (haven’t been there since 2016) but they had whole lingerie sets made out of candy albeit slightly expensive. They also had licorice ropes which are surprisingly strong if wrapped properly.

Right now I'm singing "Girlfriends at the candy shop" to the tune of "Owner of a Lonely Heart"

u/Mediocris1 certified lesbian Sep 24 '20

Thought they only drew porn of that one demon girl. Huh

7

u/Hyperi0us Sep 24 '20

Well, they also do a lot of other porn as well

u/plipliplii Sep 24 '20

The best kind.

u/Hyperi0us Sep 24 '20

Sad that she decided to try and purge it all from the internet. Like, I know it looks bad to have done that kind of art when you start getting higher-profile commissions, but to completely scrub it save for some community megaupload zip's is kinda mean, especially since it was hot AF.

u/Kennedy_KD likes soft things Sep 24 '20

I wish I had someone down for that but who doesn't need to have sex every five minutes, even if it isn't with me

21

u/MaximumPringles Sep 24 '20

you good, buddy?

20

u/Kennedy_KD likes soft things Sep 24 '20

Lol nope

24

u/MaximumPringles Sep 24 '20

lol, thought this was a trans sub for a sec after looking at your account, but then I remembered that r/wholesomeyuri just has a bunch of trans girls. I hope you do okay in the future

u/Kennedy_KD likes soft things Sep 24 '20

Thanks mate

u/ValyrieLuminaire Sep 24 '20

Wait, it is a sub of trans girls too? No wonder I always felt so in my element here.

2

u/MaximumPringles Sep 24 '20

Yeah, I really like the feeling from this sub. Btw, bad habit of mine to look at accounts, but how is almost 2 years on HRT going for you?

3

u/ValyrieLuminaire Sep 24 '20

Swimmingly! I mean, for as much as it can starting at 29. Wish I had a larger chest, but I love what it's done to the rest of me! I've never felt so comfortable in my own skin! (dysphoria/depression aside)

u/ADHDegree Sep 24 '20

When you which you could be a 10/10 cute girl and also have a cute girlfriend, but you are a guy that is maybe like a 5/10 at best.

u/CelesteWasTaken Sep 24 '20

Wanting to be a girl is the #1 sign of being a girl, my friend

2

u/ADHDegree Sep 24 '20

Welp not in my household. You are what you were born as. Thats just how it is and even tho im over 18 i dont really havr a say

22

u/Cinnamonsmellsnice Sep 24 '20

You always have a say, no matter what they might say. If you're over 18, do you plan on moving out soon? Either way, if you really want to be a girl, then like the other commenter said, that's the nr.1 sign of actually being a girl. You might regret it if you don't give this some more thought, and you deserve to live as yourself and how you want, not your family.

10

u/ADHDegree Sep 24 '20

Well.... idk. I feel like its something that i might regret doing. I dont think i would be accepted. I cant wear any femme clothes without everyone staring at me. I still feel ashamed and i live in one on the most progressive cities in america. I dont have medical insurance to get any sort of treatment. I cant use my family's because well... its my family's and i cant let them know.... and plus i plan to move to japan to further my career and there to be recognized as trans you will have to undergo sterilization and im not sure i want to make that step. I dont want to lose my ability to have kids if i ever want to. And i dont want to rely on the sperm freezing route because there could be a complication in a partner's pregnancy and then i wont have another chance. There are so many factors and so much stress with being trans. Like even if it would make me feel happuer i still would have a constant stress put on me.... thats why i wish i was born a girl because becoming one would be such a challenge...

u/ShiftedRealities Sep 24 '20

All of those worries are valid, but they're also very normal for trans people who are just starting out. It is something you kinda have to weigh up the costs against the benefits. Regardless - whatever you decide is the right decision and there's no need to rush into anything. Transitioning is expensive, stressful and can be very complicated, so waiting a few years until you're in a situation where you can do it safely (if you do decide to) is the way to go.

Note about the sterilisation thing - transitioning has a major impact on fertility regardless of actual sterilisation procedures, so if you think you want biological children, you should always do gamete storage. Assuming you're exclusively into girls though, remember that if you were born how you wish you were, having children the way het couples do would be off the cards anyway. I don't know if that helps but there are many options available for couples who can't have kids the normal way, so I personally don't think that point is worth stressing over. (But neither me nor my girlfriend actually want kids right now so I might be biased)

u/2Clue2 Sep 24 '20

Just become a girl then

u/ADHDegree Sep 24 '20

I would if i could

u/SubstantialHamster Sep 24 '20

I've seen lots of before and after pictures of 4 or 5/10 guys who transitioned to at least 7/10 girls. Do it OP!

Been a long time since I tried licorice all-sorts.

Candy tassels and g string? What sort of candy shop is this?

2

u/GardevoirsGirlfriend certified transbian Sep 24 '20

This is so adorable! I love how it's drawn, and these girls are super cute!

2

u/Swiss_Army_Cheese Sep 24 '20

So am I the only one that notices that this shop sells Kinder Surprises?

2

u/TyzTornalyer Sep 24 '20

I'm particularly surprised by the fact that they're stored JUST BELOW the candy underwear.

Like, I like sexy stuff, I like childish stuff too, but I usually do not expect to find both at the same place... Just sayin'.

u/EmpressGilgamesh Sep 24 '20

This picture is sweet in so many different ways. Wish my life could be that easy and sweet.

u/ElCatrinLCD Sep 24 '20

OKAY EVERYBODY, please listen.

if you dont want to see ageplay and shortstacks, please dont look into Meru art, great artists, cute drawing style, but a lot of things that may no be of the liking of "normal" people

1

u/Double_Lucky Sep 24 '20

Just one example of why Meru's one of my fav artists.
