My Beloved Family

These characters hold a special place in my heart, like my found family. I care for them deeply, as if they were my younger siblings or children. I often imagine platonic moments connecting with them.To me, they represent comfort, joy, and a bond that's unbreakable. They’ve become a part of my world, and I treasure the thought of being there for them as they are for me.

My Cherished Companions

These characters are like companions. While they don't hold the same place as family, I still enjoy imagining the moments we could share together.

Riddle,From the moment I first saw you, I was drawn to your unwavering spirit and determination. Taking your hand through the mirror felt like the beginning of a lifelong adventure, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Over the years, we’ve both grown so much. You’ve changed me for the better, and watching you embrace your freedom has inspired me to do the same.You embody the true essence of a queen, caring deeply for those around you and always striving for their best. Your confidence is something I admire endlessly; you work hard, and you know it, unafraid to take pride in your achievements (or even brag a little, as you deserve). Your commitment and dedication are unmatched, and your resolute nature reminds me of the strength it takes to stand by what you believe in.You have my heart, always—not just as someone I admire, but as family.

Miku,You've been with me for as long as I can remember. From the moment I saw you debut, I've watched you grow from a simple singing program into a global sensation who's touched countless lives, including mine. You introduced me to a world of music that I might never have found otherwise, and for that, I'll always be grateful.We've grown up together. You were there for me during my most formative years, a constant presence by my side. Now, all these years later, I hope I've become someone you can be proud of. No matter what form you take, you are a source of endless inspiration to me—of hope, of dreams, of possibility.You remind me that I'm never truly alone. With you by my side, I've found courage, joy, and the ability to keep moving forward. Thank you for being such an integral part of my life.

Wanderer,Though you’ve been with me for the shortest time, you are deeply cherished. I’ve watched you walk many paths, shedding past names and titles to uncover your true self, and I admire your dedication to change.Your journey is nothing short of inspiring. You've shown me that even in moments of despair, when it feels like giving up is the only option, there's always a way to rise again. Your resilience has shown me that it's never to late to rewrite your story.I am amazed by the way you connect with and understand others, even with a past as tumultuous as yours. Your loyalty to those you care for and your willingness to empathize with others reflect a heart that is deeper and stronger than most could ever know. And through your forgiveness, of both the world and yourself, you’ve found happiness. Watching you embrace that joy has been a lesson I treasure deeply.You inspire me, Wanderer. Not just with your strength but with the quiet courage it takes to be vulnerable, to accept love and give it freely in return. Thank you for being a part of my life and for showing me that every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory worth celebrating.

There are several sites I use to find merch. Most sites are reselling sites, so the merch is used.Japanese sites include:
★ Mercari JP
★ Yahoo! Auctions JP
★ Suruga-ya
★ Animate
★ AniplexEnglish sites I frequent:
★ Mercari
★ eBay
★ Twitter
★ InstagramSites like Twitter and Instagram are a great way to find used merch for less. A lot of sellers buy lots for cheap and then sell off the items they don't want for a lot less than retail value.

I’ve found some reliable proxies that help me buy the merch I’m after. I look for services that have longer storage periods (since I refuse to pay outrageous shipping fees for one item), are easy to navigate, and give me access to a wide range of different sites.

ZenMarket

ZenMarket is my current favorite proxy service. They have a free 60-day storage period, which is great because it lets me pile up a bunch of merch before shipping everything. They also give access to a ton of different sites, and they can buy from sites that aren't listed (sometimes). The staff is really communicative too. They do take a bit longer to check and buy items for you, but that's never been a problem for me. They also have a lot of rewards and special offers going on, which is also a nice bonus.

Buyee

Buyee used to be my go-to proxy, but it's been replaced by ZenMarket recently. They have a free 30-day storage period, which works fine for me. One thing I do like about Buyee is the app. It can be a little clunky at times, but for some reason, it just feels more accessible to me than only having a website. The app also lets me save search terms, and I can get notified when new items related to those terms are posted. The downside is that it doesn't have access to some website. For example, the few times I tried to use Buyee to buy from Suruga-ya, I'd get a message saying they couldn't purchase from there.

I catalog all my merch using MyFigureCollection, which helps me keep everything organized and easily accessible. It allows me to track when I acquired an item, how much it cost, where I bought it from, and how many of each item I have. I also use it to wishlist future items and keep an eye on pieces that are on their way to me. It’s the perfect tool to manage my collection and make sure I never lose track of anything.
