Why not just get a real dog?

the real dog will leave you eventually

I had a three bedroom house to myself some years back. I turned one bedroom into an office, but the third bedroom just accumulated random crap and maybe got opened once a month.

I mean I get storage, I just find making a entire room a dedicated wolf shrine very cringe.

I love Dragon Quest, but I'm completely fine with just owning the games...

Women and plushies are a cursed combo. It's never enough. And all for fucking slime blobs. It's kinda cute I guess, but that has to be well over $1000 bucks sitting there. Collect something cheaper and less space consuming on your bank account lady, like coins or Gundam

You will never be a real dog.

But then how will you tell the whole world you are a DQ ambassador?

I do believe this is the reason many of these people collect what they collect

It's not because they love the item or the thing it represents and wanna look at it, it's purely for others'
>"I'm a fan, so I GOTTA own fan stuff to show how much of a fan I am!"

Ironically that's usually a sign of a fake fan
if you're a fan of something and you don't find something you like, you don't get it, because why own a weird, lumpy looking funkopop of your favorite character if you don't like the look of it? "I don't liiiike funkiewunkies, but they don't make any merch of my favorite character!" Well then why would you wanna taint something you love by owning something you dislike?
But the logic here is that they gotta own SOMETHING, and if all they can own is trash, then trash is better than nothing.

Brother, you ain't lying. My wife would be a fucking Squishmallow hoarder if I wasn't telling her no to new ones all the time.

Look I get that they're cute, but they take up so much room. There are better, smaller things to collect

I made myself stop at two. They make great pillows though.

 

[AskeDead]

Yeah I use one of hers as a pillow, they're super comfy.

Now I'm sad.

I don't have any funny images to share, but something related to this thread I don't really get.

People getting hyped for the announcement of the debut for a trailer. A discord server I'm in someone is excited that Nintendo has announced a date when they'll be showing the first trailer for the new Mario game.

This isn't a new thing either. Squaresoft back in the day would have announcement promoting when they'd be announcing some bit of news.

Now I'm sad.

I know what will make it better!

I finally convinced one of my tenants to sell his Funko Pop collection. It's been a good week guys . Allegedly he can get hundreds for some of the figures? Is this true? Or is it like when people would post Disney VHS tapes on eBay for $200 and it would never sell?

Another Dragon Quest Ambassador appeared!

Do secondhand funkos even sell? at all? i cant imagine they would unless its something rare you cant find in stores anymore, otherwise, i can't imagine a superfan would buy some bog standard superman funko secondhand when they can pick it up at the store fresh off the line

no matter what these people say, there's no way ANY funkos except the super rare bumfuck edition ones have ANY resale value

I kind of disagree with the digital photo album idea on the basis that it could all disappear with a fatal computer mishap.

Every nerd shop I've gone to always seems to have a glut of the things, honestly no, not unless you're a turbo CONSOOMER.

The Funko Pop lunatics usually don't even open the packaging, so it's probably not that much of a difference.

I have met my fair share of women who were not pagan but still thought rocks had magic properties, but more in the same way they had opinions on what color of clothing is flattering. They'd tell you quartz has clearing properties but if you asked literally why and how, they'd just kinda say I dunno it's got a ~~~vibe~~~ to it. They'd get facial massagers made of solid rose quartz because "rose quartz is good for your skin." How??? "I dunno, something about the resonance frequencies."
This is coming from "normie" people, not tumblr wiccans or lolcows.

I knew a girl who got into the crystal shit, she had gotten kicked out of school (at least the dorms, and then just dropped out) for being busted with LSD and a bunch of other shit , she worked at a gas station and I think at a strip club (dont know for sure if she was a stripper or just a bartender or some shit), went nuts 'in love' with her boyfriend and got way into 'rave culture'. Im kind of convinced like half of these girls who get into it just partied too hard for a while and put holes in their brain dropping acid or MDMA like every other day instead of once a week or every other week or however long. She stopped after a while and you wouldnt know it looking at her because now shes just one of those 'sensitive' quiet girls who has made 'her autism' a part of her identity.

true, not physically at least, but you have to remember theyre also funko pop lunatics
if a slightly dented package makes the toy worthless, even so much as knowing someone else "owned" it before taints the whole thing

these people value the virginity of their plastic bibblybobbies more than their own women
