I started collecting ACG-related merchandise (lit. "eating谷子") in the past two years. Initially, I loved reading novels and buying physical books to collect at home. However, I later realized that it wasn't the books themselves that I liked, but rather the peripherals that came with the novels as bonuses. From then on, I began to pay attention to ACG merchandise.🤔
I collect ACG merchandise because I find them beautifully made and visually pleasing. 🥰Especially when I receive and unwrap them, I feel a great sense of satisfaction, and it brings me immense emotional value. Spending money on merchandise for my favorite characters and seeing them displayed brings me a sense of peace and contentment.But I don't deliberately save money just to buy ACG merchandise, nor do I insist on purchasing them even when I'm short on funds.😅
The significance of merchandise is to bring your favorite characters or themes closer to you, physically surrounding you.🤗 I believe this is also the meaning behind "eating谷子" (collecting ACG merchandise).
