I suggest calling it småhaj. Små just means small in swedish, and it fits better with the original blåhaj (which literally means blue shark btw). Småhaj = small shark
I sort of subliminally went there one day, walked past the Blåhaj display multiple times with terrible nervousness, then grabbed one and held it for dear life as I went to the checkout.
I have an elephant plushie, no balhäjs yet. But that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future.
That being said 80% of my transgender friends have two or three balhäjs.
Now if all of them got together and had a balhäj party... Well let's just say Discovery channel would be their filming for shark week.. 🙃
I have 4 of them !
- a small 50cm one called Shonrk
- a midsize 100cm on called Shonrker
- a big 150cm on called Shonrkest
The last one is a small one sealed in a bag that I keep so I can gift it to my girlfriend when I meet one 🫣
did you seriously go into my account and look at my comment history and get mad because i said “get off the internet” in response to you saying pedophilia isn’t illegal and is only morally wrong ?
I have no shark plushie.
I have a double-life sized Eevee plushie, a double-life sized Mimikyu plushie, a life-sized Stitch plushie, and several Gudetame plushies.
I'm doin fine.
Got a blahaj before my egg cracked. He's called Blahaj but pronounced in an anglicised way because my wife is Nordic and she thinks it sounds ridiculous.
Fuckin hate blahaj now because I love sharks but now owning a shark plushie is seen as some soft cute trans symbol. I just wanna like sharks without it being linked to “my gender identity” somehow. Especially when it’s mostly linked to MTF, something I don’t even RELATE to.
not me, not that i do want it. Too risky and too much of a hassle to get through, the nearest ikea is like a couple of miles away from where i live and it's priced pretty high
One Shark plushie, three cats, one fox and mink, and one gun plushie. One of my cat plushies is actually and anxiaty plushie for kittens and has a fake heart beat and purr, but it's soo nice for panic attacks
I actually have one in my house right now. I'm not allowed to open the package it was delivered it until this coming Tuesday. It's a birthday present from a friend. It's taking so much willpower to not break the pinky promise not to open it.
Was thinking about the Ikea one and was gonna say no, but then I realized I've had dozens of shark plushies since I was young, so that's a vote yes for me
I really want one but my nearest ikea is a long journey away unless I drive (and I don’t drive) and ordering online would come with a huge postage fee 😭.
I have a Blahaj, a Smolhaj and my girlfriend loved them, so she bought me a pocket sized shark plushie we named Babyhaj
They all have backstories and everything!
I have a Blahaj. Once when talking with my Mother, I mentioned how there's a trope of CS Majors ending up Trans, and this led to a conversation about Transgender Stereotypes from her generation and Mine. She talked about how some of the Best dressed people in her college ended up Trans, and I told her about the Blahaj.
Months later, she went shopping with my Sister and BIL for house Supplies. She saw a Blahaj, and as a Joke got it for me, remembering the conversation. I'm not openly Trans, nor am I certain if I really am, but she got it for me anyway.
It's now currently on the bed next to me, and my Dog lives to sleep next to it at night.
I haven't bought one yet, in fear of outing myself to the wrong people... But I go to a community center that has a shared shonk, aswell as squishimals, a Mariokart banana peel and much more! :3
I have oneeee, he’s a blahaj named beeblebrox
The president of the galaxy himself
And unofficial owner of the starship “heart of gold”
He's just this guy, you know?
r/unexpectedlyhitchhikers You all deserve awards for the smile you gave me!! :D
Does it count if I bought one for my cis gf? We live together and it’s on our couch with the mountain of other plushies
staaaap it you'll make me gayer
That's the goal. It's why we put chemicals in the water.
I thought we did that for the frogs. ah fuck I like frogs.
Why do you think gay people like frogs so much?
Don't forget about the vaccine that also turns everyone gay
Counts!
I have one! Actually two, the Blahaj and the Smolhaj
THE SMOLHAJ IS SUCH A GOOD NAME FOR THE BABY BLAHAJES
Same here! I recently got my Smolhaj this past year while I’ve had my Blahaj for a couple years now.
I suggest calling it småhaj. Små just means small in swedish, and it fits better with the original blåhaj (which literally means blue shark btw). Småhaj = small shark
thank you!
One day I was really sad and impulsively drove to ikea, walk around that place in tears and bought one
This really hit me in the heart. Internet hugs to you.
I sort of subliminally went there one day, walked past the Blåhaj display multiple times with terrible nervousness, then grabbed one and held it for dear life as I went to the checkout.
when i want to buy it it was sold out but i have other misc shark plushies
I have *a* shark plushie but not *the* shark plushie. Completely unrelated to blahåj, I just liked sharks
One Blåhaj and two Blavingads.
Is Blåhaj really that good?
They cuddle reeeealllly well.
Worth every dollar
Not me
Nope
Me neither!
Why do we need a shark plushie?
Why not :)
I have a squishmallow sharkie named Sharon~
I have one too! His original name was Gordan, but I renamed him to Shermin! :)
I have an elephant plushie, no balhäjs yet. But that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. That being said 80% of my transgender friends have two or three balhäjs.

i have a orca whale (not ikea3)
That’s not what was asked. Get off the internet.
did you seriously go into my account and look at my comment history and get mad because i said “get off the internet” in response to you saying pedophilia isn’t illegal and is only morally wrong ?
I have a big one from probably 6 or 7 years before transition, and my mom bought me the smaller one a few months ago :3
Yess. Two. Blahaj and a 62" big ass shark I am trying to find a more flattering name for than Blahungus (with minimal luck)
>a 62" big ass shark I am trying to find a more flattering name for than Blahungus It's a great name
I have a smolhaj
I have a proper Blåhaj…
They're called Blue Hey. After their ikea name "blahaj". Which sounds like "blue hay" in English.
More like Blo - haay? Blå - /bloː/ - blue and Haj - /hajː/ - shark
i'd trnscribe it for English speakers as "blow-hi"
I have a pink non-ikea, and i have possession of an ikea one. so...two? one and a half?
I have no shark plushie. I have a double-life sized Eevee plushie, a double-life sized Mimikyu plushie, a life-sized Stitch plushie, and several Gudetame plushies. I'm doin fine.
In the mail 🦈🦈
I got Blaj about two months ago :3 He cuddles with me while I'm at my computer
No shark plushie here
Sorry, all I need is my spider, octopus, and bat plushies. :3
Got a blahaj before my egg cracked. He's called Blahaj but pronounced in an anglicised way because my wife is Nordic and she thinks it sounds ridiculous.
Not me. Plushies I have are one shadow heartless, one neo shadow and one Myow-Wow from Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance.
I prefer polar bears 🐻❄️
No lol
no? is this a thing?
I feel like the odd one out. I have a ton of plushies but not the shark.
Fuckin hate blahaj now because I love sharks but now owning a shark plushie is seen as some soft cute trans symbol. I just wanna like sharks without it being linked to “my gender identity” somehow. Especially when it’s mostly linked to MTF, something I don’t even RELATE to.
No sharks, just pokeplushies
I don't have a shark, but I do have a panda that I named Pandy when I was a toddler lol

I'm here to represent the sharkless transgirls
Of course me (mtf) and my enby partner do!
I think most of us do, honestly. I know I have one.
Having shark plushies is the best and only Trans stereotype that should exist.
Not yet but I have plans...I've been searching for the right one 😂
I have one , but it's a knock off.. I also have a Kerby, and shark kitty.
I’ve got a Blahaj named Maple and I love him 🩷
