Not sure if it qualifies as a lair, but I still fondly remember Knormal's My mother is insane thread, in which said goon shows us his house full of stuff. Some of my first exposures to hoarding in here. Brings back memories!

It's the same appeal anyone has for collecting hordes of anything. Cat statues or plates or whatever the hell. I don't think it's worth trying to understand it beyond it being an unhealthy obsession, particularly since those things cost like 50 to 100 bucks a pop or more.

Like maybe ten or so years ago I used to work in a store that sold anime and manga and figures and whatnot and I was just blown away by how much money grown men would spend on some figure in a bikini or whatever, and not just in a bikini. The same character would be dressed differently, so they had to buy that one too, or they coloring would be different, or some other minute variation.

I never said anything because profit is profit but as I'd be ringing them up, my mind was just racing with a hundred questions. I don't collect anything so the mentality is so...alien.

It's a book on the shelf, spine up, so the shape is caused by the yellowing pages spreading slightly towards the bottom.

At least its clean. I understand clutter and even "collectors" a bit as long as its in a mancave or something like that but living like that is just crazy like sick brain crazy.

That looks like what I remember it being. It's just so meticulously organized and preened to perfection. It actually looks somewhat like something a normal person would have until you learn that each one of those books/dvds costs 300% of what a normal book/dvd costs.

You guys are so negative. If I had a bazillion dollars I wouldn't keep my anime room in my house. I'd keep it at the office. I'd hold board meetings in front of a seemingly endless, meticulously organized case of tiny polyvinyl chloride waifus and a big screen playing a muted magical girl anime. I would sit there with my fingers steepled and make manly men with rented wives with saline tits explain themselves to me, and then at the end of the day I would ride home not in a car, but in a chariot drawn by corgis and shiba inus.

As I rode on my chariot I would have a beautiful woman stand behind me in a toga and a collar and pink wig and whisper in my ear "All kawaii is fleeting".

Repost from the "Ask me about growing up with a girl who thinks she's married to anime guys" thread:

quote:

Okay, I've decided to post about my encounter with a local anime group. I found it on the internet, and put off visiting their meeting place for a while because it was kind of in a rough part of town. (I later found out that that particular neighborhood helped inspire David Lynch's Eraserhead.)

I had trouble finding the place, and was about to give up until two otaku-types showed up. It turned out that the apartment was on the side of a much larger building- I would never have found it on my own.

When I got inside, I found out that this was no mere otaku apartment- it was more like an otaku hive, with four or five people living there. The first room had a large space set aside for making costumes, and a bunch of clumps of dirt on the floor. The walls had anime fanart on them. The main room had five or six bookcases full of anime DVDs and manga. The only "regular" books in evidence were a bunch of licensed novels. A large glass case contained figurines of anime girls in various states of undress, and there were wallscrolls everywhere (many of them featuring provocative pictures of anime girls). If I had been living there, I would have spent some money on fixing the exposed insulation, but what do I know?

I also saw a cockroach in the hour or so that I was there.

more importantly, why the gently caress arent they capped?!?! not only is that a GIANT spill hazard, but that much piss sitting around, it would have taken a while to collect, meaning that those bottles have been open to the air for a good amount of time. Theres no way that room smells like anything but piss and ash.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm gonna go brush my teeth now.

Of note for this thread is Danny Choo who is apparently a professional anime room haver or something and has lots of pictures of his anime room and other people's anime rooms

Also, his anime room has an anime moe girl mascot. I presume his anime room is his waifu, as he is inside her all the time.

This is kinda cool but if that bed had a proper fitted sheet, this would look 60% better. In every shithole I've ever visited, people just sleep on mattresses. Can't you just get one sheet and never take it off? Same difference, right?

This may sound odd but I actually enjoyed sleeping on just a mattress without a box spring, it was really comfy. I still put a sheet and pillow sheets on it with a blanket though. Sleeping on the ground just somehow made me feel more secure in a way.

This was back in my dorm though. Even then I kept my room clean because friends would come over. This thread makes me feel so much better about my life.

For all the people thinking these are piss bottles, I'm betting they're just bottles filled with water for use as ashtrays. The waterbottle at front left is clearly full of butts. Why would you keep your piss bottles on the desk? Piss bottles go under the desk.

edit: Also look at some of the less yellow more brown/grey bottles on the left; piss that color would indicate severe kidney disease.

Yeah, that's a yoplait whipped chocolate yogurt which sounds great in theory but is mostly disappointing as it is half air and doesn't actually give you nearly enough real yogurt.

These threads always give me mixed feelings. On one hand, the worst squalor I've lived in has at least been all clutter and no...rot, but at the same time, it makes me horribly ashamed that I turned my bedroom into something that could be theoretically posted here. Fortunately I managed to get it all straightened out, mainly by throwing the majority of the stuff at Goodwill, but, ugh. Sadly (fortunately?) I never took any pictures.

I'm not a gun owner, yet, but provided those aren't props, isn't hanging loaded guns (based on the belt fed one) by their trigger guards in view of a glass window just a terrible idea?

My dad has handgun safe and a bigger safe for his rifle and shotgun, and my big(ger) game hunter grandpa has a safe you can walk into (closet sized, I called it the bank vault when I was little), so maybe I just come from the other end of the spectrum.

Edit: They have to be props.
