Re: Complain about any first-world problem that you had lately
(Anonymous) 2026-04-28 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)I much prefer looking at my collection with significant pieces all jumbled together. An high end ceramic Captain Harlock and cheap plastic Nagisa Kaworu chilling near a Nenrodoid Nozomi Toujo and a small Monokuma I got from a DanganRonpa gachapon? YEP THAT'S ME. They tell MY story and make me happy.
I also put my manga collection near my classic book collection. It's all together and arranged so I can easily reread the stuff I like the most whenever I want.
>>the Aesthetic Itabeya ideal they sold to me on socmed is an unattainable dream for the non super rich
YES. This. They ARE selling you an unattainable ideal for most of us. (And I personally find that rich people usually have no taste and me hating that "perfectly coordinated itabeya" aestethic is probably a reflection of that)

(Anonymous) 2026-04-28 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)>> I had to grow up in a very autistic cluttered grandma type of home I find comfort in trying to take care of my home's design
Me too! I grew up with a mother who had hoarding tendencies and especially when I was 5-15 years old, my house was a mess. I've never seen another house like mine IRL. It was... not incredibly dirty, but absurdly cluttered.
Now I take care of my house trying to do a not minimalistic design (I like stuff, especially colourful stuff), but a not so cluttered design full of "closed" furniture (like those glass display cabinets) and without cluttered surfaces.
I HATE CLEANING AND I HATE DUST. On the topics of itabeya, every time I see those open cabinets full of action figured I want to cry because how much time will they spend cleaning them??? Usually action figures are plastic and dust on plastic is fucking gross imho.
>> I also lost many things after moving so maybe my passion for my stuff dwindled and now I want pretty and #aesthetic over meaningful, because meaningful means you will get sad if anything happens to your items
This makes a lot of sense! I'm sorry you lost things while moving :((( I know that can be pretty traumatic.
Personally I'm on the long journey of letting physical stuff go, so even my manga/action figure collection was significantly cut down these last few years, but GOD IT'S SO HARD LETTING GO. It's incredible how much emotions we feel for inanimate objects. I inherited some of my mother's hoarding tendencies and let me tell you donating/selling/throwing out my stuff is one of the hardest things I've done in my life.
So I feel you. Maybe thinking only about the aesthetic is about control.
Since you are all for the aesthetic now, maybe start simple? Like coordinated bed linens / carpets / curtains ? And instead of buying new furniture, you could buy coloured plastic or tissue sheets to apply on your cabinet surfaces.
...hope I'm making sense lol I've never been so aware of the fact that I have no idea how to talk about furniture in English
You can have a pretty cute room without spending too much on all the cool stuff. Take inspiration from the itabeya, but make it yours! :D
Re: Complain about any first-world problem that you had lately
(Anonymous) 2026-04-28 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)Now I'm obsessed with pretty rooms except I also hoard so it's about what's going inside boxes or how am I going to make my gothic lolita grandma energy jewelry look good next to my pink gunpla kinda struggle and then I cry because its not working lol.
Honestly, some of the itabeya that I see online look CHEAPER than what I have despite being poor because I have been collecting (hoarding) for ages. But it's cohesive, it's probably the collection of a kid who started working and collecting yesterday and only has a handful of merch of their favorite character and it's all the same color. I try to color-coordinate and since Nozomi and Kaworu are some of my faves too you will probably understand when I say I'm trying to make a black/white/purple/blue color scheme work, but suddenly raahhh a bunch of pastel colored shoujo manga collections and it makes me want to cry. Truly THE first world F!S problem of all time I fear.

Maybe, but it's nice hearing that you have this kind of problem. It's something frivolous maybe but it's also interesting to see what you are aspiring to in your private life (especially interesting how different your domestic goals are seeing how similar our past seemed to be, even if my house was "overworked parents with three kids" core, so mostly clothes / books / toys / VHSs EVERYWHERE)! I may not share your aesthetic preferences, but I understand where you are coming from.
And your love for Kaworu and Nozomi is noted, too! :DDD A black/white/purple/blue colour scheme seems cool and not too hard to pull off! Good luck and try not to be too hard on yourself or too obsessed by the ideal of the "perfect" room. <3
