alright /jp/...
I'm back from college at home for the summer, and while at school I accumulated some figures...
now, my parents don't know I collect figures and somehow haven't brought up my purchases after looking through my bank statements...
Mainly, it's just my mom who's INSANE about everything and is most likely to just throw stuff out regardless of it's value, whether it be monetary or sentimental.

The problems:
1. justification for spending $60+ for each (in the case of my picture, 130)
2. while not erotic, most are suggestive/revealing. the only exception is my Aegis. *Note* my family is filled with Christian/moral/conservative types
3. Is there anyway to keep my figures hidden until August when I move into an apartment?

>> No.567159

... Keep them in a fucking box or something? What, did Jesus bestow your family with x-ray vision or something? If your parents are going to sift through every bit of shit in your room you've got bigger problems than hiding figs.

>> No.567163

Why are you buying figs when you could be saving up for a down payment? Learn to have a budget, it'll come in handy when you're an adult.

As someone who grew up with uber-conservative religious parents (Mormons), I feel your pain, OP.

Just hang in there until you have enough jewgolds to move into your own place.

I suggest that you put a divider in a box seperating the top and bottom. Put your figs in the bottom, and pile up Bibles and church literature on the top.

I don't let my friends borrow things that might get covered in semen, but maybe that's just me. Or maybe most people have friends that they can trust with such things. I sure as fuck don't, though.

ok... that's seems to be enough on hiding them...
what about justifying spending so much money on them, in case they are found out?
only thing I can think of is "At least I'm not spending it on beer" which is a really big thing for my mom

Umm, why should you have to justify it. Personally, I think the money would have been better spent on beer. I however rather like beer and don't have any interest in owning figures. For someone else, I can easily see why they'd want to buy the figures.

When you move out, it's not like you're going to hide these every time she visits your place are you? I'd suggest just hiding them until you get a place. Then when the time comes and she sees them, tell her to just get over it.

>> No.567497

>>567349

if the money isn't being spent on food, water, shelter, clothing, electricity, bills, etc you really can't justify it. even shit like alcohol, gasoline, and internet access are technically luxuries

your best "justification" would be it's something you enjoy

>> No.567507

Think of it this way

You could have bought a sexy car or got a new computer, got a flat screen tv or got a girlfriend.

All those things are a waste of money and have no real lasting value. The same with figures.

Just say it's a hobby and your friends at college are collecting them too.

That is fucking bullshit, a computer and a TV both have immense intrinsic value. Fuck you for even comparing them with such retarded shit as cars and 3D women.

You can't hide anything from the nosy old crone.

She'll consider it a personal insult if you declare any part of your life to be personal and private, and if you lock up your shit she'll immediately decide you're hiding drugs, gay porn, a turban and a kalashnikov.

So get some nice shelves and put your figurines out on proud display, tell her that they're precious to you and that you're trying to save up enough to buy them all some decent clothes.

This is a dilemma I am also facing. My parents are quite understanding, however, and probably would just give me weird looks if they came across most of my figures. My mother once found some of my more... interesting figures when she cleaned my room, but I still don't feel comfortable displaying most.

My answer is this: Buy a large trunk that you can lock. Say you bought it so you could keep things safe in college just incase you had a untrustworthy roomate. Keep your figures in there, lock it up, and keep the key with you all the time.

Just tell them that you're an adult now, and you have the rights to indulge in a hobby that you like. Have a nice talk with your parents, and tell them that they should respect your views, just as how you've been respecting their views and their behaviour (your mum sounded like a typical batshit insane bible thumping soccer mum) for all these years.
