hi everyone! (ćä¹ ćć¶ćć§ć)
i haven't posted anything on tumblr in a good while (and looking at the app now i'm really not sure how all this works anymore), but seeing as i'm still getting a lot of notifications and follows here (somehow i still have 4000+ followers? wow) i figured i'd post a little figure collecting/life update here!
it seems this hobby has become much more popular over the past year or so (especially with quarantine and people/influencers flexing their collections online(?)) so i wanna start this announcement off by saying that it's always been and still is okay to message me for advice! - this was a relatively niche thing to be into when i got into collecting so with the help of the friends who roped me into it, it was pretty easy to figure things out. i can imagine that now, (especially if you're still young and/or not yet financially independent/stable) it's easy to get carried away or feel lost when kickstarting your collection and figuring out your priorities. if you don't have any collector friends you can turn to, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you feel troubled about anything collection related! i can't guarantee you i'll be there to provide a quick or immediate response (seeing as i don't use this site anymore lmao) but i like helping people out, so i will try my best to get to you with some solid (?) senior collector advice :)
as for me, i'm still collecting at my own pace, with a few preorders here and there and the occasional impulse purchase. recently, i've started feeling much more excited and involved in the hobby again (due to becoming more active on mfc and making more figure collecting friends) and i realized i wanna start sharing figure related content again! as i stated before, i really don't know how tumblr works anymore and i don't see myself returning to website, so this blog will most likely remain inactive indefinitely. however, i did make an instagram account to share my own figure/collection pics and i've been having lots of fun with figure photography since then! if you wanna check it out (and leave some likes and/or a follow) you can find me at vrfigs!
lastly, this is just a general thing but since there's been so much bad news and so many things are still wrong with the world, i hope things are going okay for everyone, and if they're not, i hope from the bottom of my heart they'll get better. i know this might not mean a lot coming from a random internet user that couldn't possibly know what anyone is dealing with right now, but i hope this hobby and this message can serve as a little bit of brightness and positivity to those who need it. just know that, if nothing else, there's a random figure collector running an inactive blog that cares about you, and hopes good things come your way <3
that's all! end of announcement! :')
