Asking here because it's something so oddly specific. Don't necessarily expect perfect results.
I have a...very interesting but close friend of mine who has struggled a lot with suicidal thoughts and social anxiety in the past but is currently well on their road to recovery. This friend tends to love all sorts of cute things like plushies and animals, but also has always had this wierd fascination with horror movies, nightmares, slasher villains, and that type of thing. They explained to me once that this fascination developed as a response to their thoughts of self-harm and childhood nightmares. They just developed this attachment to those themes of lingering death and fear.
I have this crazy idea that if I can find some sort of perfect plushie or trinket or gift or anything for them to represent their progress, it would probably make their entire year and probably help them a ton. I did find out about Plushie Dreadfuls while searching online and it almost seemed like exactly what I wanted, but they don't have any gifts that relate specifically to horror or violence or suicide, so I'm still searching for something that fits them better.
Does anyone have any ideas for something similar to that that could work as a gift? Sorry I know this is hyper-specific and not sure if I'm explaining it all very well but I know I have the chance to help them a lot. Open to any suggestions.
