The Imaginarium

Where the friends who raised us go to rest

Fond memories of playing by the creek with nothing but the figment I’d created for myself. The times when tornado sirens would ring out and I’d hug the empty space in front of me for comfort. The name of my imaginary friend is forgotten to me, and what did they look like? I’ll never know. Memories are fluid and not as concrete as we like to think, and overtime I forgot the details my young mind conjured together to make a forever loyal friend. Yet the feelings and remembrance of activities done together remain. My friend, though imaginary, will always be important to me.

This is why I created the imaginarium, to give a home for imaginary friends so that they may not be forgotten, and that if one day their creator forgets them, others will remember them instead. They’ll be admired, appreciated, and adored. If you would like to submit yours feel free to use the form provided.

Sometimes these imaginary friends have baggage behind them, such as memories of harder times, scarier times, or times you aren’t proud of. If that is the case I will take them for you so you don’t have to remember. They can stay here, safe among the other imaginaries, and be a weight off your heart.

Regardless this is a place of rest for all the imagineers and childhood friends that raised us, please be respectful and walk softly as you read this page.

This page was the collaboration between myself and Belliup, my internet penpal of seven years and a wonderfully talented individual. You can read more about his work over on the About page.

"Diamond is a princess who was like a older sister to me. She has the ability to create crystals and gems out of thin air, eat rocks, and can bake anything! Diamond is such a kind and caring individual...but can be a bit clumsy at times. She remains positive no matter what! She was my role model. She's perfect to me. That's why I named her Diamond."

"Lovesy was my little fluffy angel on my shoulder that I (sometimes) listened to. With a quick wit to go with it. Whenever I needed someone to talk to when no one was there, or someone to share my crazy ideas with, or a shoulder to cry on or a voice of reason, she was there. We went on our own little adventures, made so many friends and created some of our own in my own little world. We experienced the good, bad and confusing moments in life that never quite left that we still carry with us. I hope she can be the same, sweet but spunky companion to all the other imaginary friends and anyone who passes by. She deserves it. Regardless, she'll always be a part of me and I'll still see her from time to time. That will never change. Thank you Loves for all the years you stood with me!~"

Luce "She was my favorite plushie when I was little. The manufacturer gave her the name "Pounce," but I renamed her after my cat Lucy. Why I named her Luce instead of Lucy I'll never know. If she got even a slight bit ruffled, l'd call her "Evil Luc — Luce
"She was my favorite plushie when I was little. The manufacturer gave her the name "Pounce," but I renamed her after my cat Lucy. Why I named her Luce instead of Lucy I'll never know. If she got even a slight bit ruffled, l'd call her "Evil Luce" and get my parents to buy another copy of her. She had an entire family of cat plushies made by the same company, their mother being a larger plushie of Luce I named "Mama Luce." I still have those plushies and they're stored in my bookshelf inside a flower shaped popcorn bucket. I even still have an Evil Luce (a copy of Luce that's off color and more scrunkly). Fun fact, my mom told me once when I was 6 I had an argument with her and said "FINE! WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE!" We still ended up being friends but then I stopped playing with her and her family. I miss those days."

"He was my long lost childhood stuffed animal. I would guess my mom either gave him away to a kid at one of the preschools she worked at or he landed in a goodwill. Honestly, I'm okay with that because deep down I know he probably means the world to someone else too. I still sometimes miss him though. When I imagine him he is like a little angel! His name is very simple because I did not know how to spell as a kid. :( He was always the main character in the stories I made up. I hope this memory of him can find peace here."

"I didn't really have a long term imaginary friend, per say. I mostly fixated on fictional characters, who I imagined interacting with- and they would come and go. However, I DO remember playing with my shadow! At my elementary school, there were these tall telephone poles that cast their shadows across the field. My childhood best friend and I would make our shadows climb them, up and up and up, and then we'd "jump" off of them and rush back to the base of the pole, falling in a heap! I think I also made friends with my reflection, but that didn't really last long."

"She was the sweetest stuffed animal for a lonely child. He was an everyday companion to a kid that didn't know what was wrong with her. Spots was my stuffed animal, a dalmatian, and my little companion for gosh knows how long. She was always a friend played with me during the good and bad of growing up. He distracted me, played every role, and gave me comfort. Whenever I think about her or look at him on my shelf, I remember my childhood wasn't as bad as it could've been. I'd love to preserve her memory here in case I ever forget about him <3. (Using pronouns interchangeably because I could never decide on their gender. Sorry if I got a little too personal there!)"

They never had names, but they were dear to me."
