Ah, do you smell that? Spring is in the air! And by spring, of course I mean an unhealthy amount of plant semen. For all my brothers and sisters out there with allergies, stay strong.
Anyway, that also means it's time for spring cleaning! One of the things I tend to neglect throughout the year is dusting, which lead me to discover how filthy my bookcases have become. In spite of the work ahead of me, I did come up with the idea to create a thread in which everyone can share images of their physical media collections, be it anime, artbooks, comics, films, manga, novels, or video games! Anything goes, really. You own it, you show it!
Bonus points go to @namedoesntfi for having been the first to share by posting selections from their adult media collection in the hentai doujinshi thread. Should you have mature content you'd like to share, you may here (in a spoiler) or there.
I hope this thread encourages those who have not yet started building a library of their own to give a shot. Ownership of media is extremely important in a digital age where "renting" content is becoming more commonplace. It's hard to explain exactly, but it's really nice to "have" something that cannot be taken from you. There's no license. There's no subscription. It's just there. Always will be. Plus, collecting is both an enjoyable and fulfilling pursuit. This is effectively your zone, a locus of entertainment that you yourself curated, existing as a manifestation of your interests. It's pretty cool when you think of it like that, but of course for the more grounded, it's ultimately just a place to store your stuff. Share it anyway!
(Will be relaunching my library at some point as I am looking to get another bookcase and hopefully better lighting.)
