I even doubt he messes around with them. After all i've seen about Kevin, we can be positive that the only thing that allows him to cope really hard is the excitement of opening packages, recieving gifts and putting plastic figurines in a dusty shelf only to be stashed away into a filthy plastic container afterwards.
I was recently talking to a friend about this type of phenomenon where, the creation of social media was originally intended to be a reflection of one's own life and a way to share special moments that occur. However for Kevin and a few others it seems to be the exact reverse of that, where it's not that their twitters reflect their lives, but instead their twitter IS THEIR LIFE. His entire identity is his online persona. Simply put Kevin lives for twitter rather than in spite of it.
I was sort of thinking about Kevin's toy collection before, from a financial standpoint. Like every asset you purchase incurs some amount of depreciation once it's used right? Like how once you drive a car off a lot it immediately loses some percentage of it's value.
Kevin rarely makes me MATI because he's just so dumb, but goddamn if this doesn't make me feel a little angry. Kevkev is going to die like a hoarder, I just hope TLC will be there to film it.
By experience with Kev and to a certain extent, with Chris, the toys have no sort of significance until they are put in a display or they are used for some sort of elaborate thing (like Chris' highschool legos). But Kevin is unable of doing anything elaborate like staging a massive battle between his plastic figurines, and even i would say it's somewhat impressive if he managed to stage a somewhat passable table stage with his transformers. For him, the toys are the goal itself. The rush of opening the box and showing them off.
Hell, even with Warhammer and its autistic overpriced plastic figures you can make a lot of good stuff by taking pieces or leftover accessories from different kits and combine them with others to give the figurines a little bit of extra variety. And that's without counting the part where you paint them.
he really could do that but that takes time and effort. he could even make low effort unboxing or low effort arranging of his hoard and people would eat it up. maybe make use of that 16k following
Are you suggesting that Kevin has the artistic prowess (or the willpower to get off his ass) to modify these hunks of plastic into something a discerning person would pay actual money for? I don't know...
It astonishes me every time to see that people actually donate to him after he posts his expensive, worthless toys (though to be fair, I think the donations come from a very small, very stupid group of people). One of these days a non-zealot will stumble across his account and call him out on this bullshit, but maybe I'm being too
He had time buying this garbage but no time dilating his amhole. He is a consoomer through & trough. He treated his amhole like the toys; getting it & immediately disregarding it & only tweeting about it for attention.
It's the best showcase (that I've seen) of a person with an addiction always chasing the next high. If Kevin wasn't a transgender who got his dick removed his inability to stop himself from endlessly buying useless crap would be the next biggest indicator that he's really, severely mentally unwell.
I know a few figurine collectors, and even the serious hobbyists that drop a ton of cash on their collections will usually limit their consumerism to a single theme, or a specific type of figurine (i.e. DIY custom paints or something). Blindly consuming every piece of colorful plastic a company has ever made just clutters up your display space so that you can’t make out any individual pieces. this shit does not spark joy.
Whenever you start to get mad at Kevin - and more sympathetic, I could not be - just remember, he's Kevin. He's already in a constant state of agony and despair. No conceivable amount of physical harm or angry yelling at him will hurt him worse than what he already did to himself.
I hope one day he goes the way of the Collyer brothers. Only by himself. The Coomyer brother.
Red Letter Media's collection of VHS / DVD and the Angry Video Game Nerd's cartridge collection are much more impressive than that. This is just horrifying.
That day Kevin would go through a major crisis and start talking about changing his living situation because his house is starting to get small and oppressive and talk shit about everyone else.
The day Mixtress Penny builds an addition on to the Tranch.
Holy shit that would be so much food and supply money for the animals literally living in a dirt hole in the ground right now. (They haven't mentioned chickens in a while, I assume they are all dead now)
