I love having hundreds of people like my sorry excuse for a bag because showing off your hard work is the big appeal. Call me an attention whore but aren't we all for spending hundreds on a bag with the intention of showing off your love. It definitely stings to get a single like on Twitter compared to 400+ on Facebook.

But I find outside of Facebook I can find people who actually DO care about their bags. I can speak with like minded people who aren't jumping a band wagon for that quick satisfaction. I can chat to people who are willing to spend $400+ on their bags and are actively working hard to hunt down those little grails. It's really hard to speak to normie baggers about big purchases or month long hunts because they just don't care, they only care about the quick easy route. I sometimes feel like when I talk to those people they don't love the character or the series as much, and it's this weird moment of feeling like an elitist just because you dropped $30 on a limited badge compared to $10 on a poorly drawn fan charm from the AA just because "reeee otp".

4ch is toxic, but I wouldn't keep coming back to these threads if I didn't enjoy the fact you guys give a shit about doing a good job. I've had my bag posted here and it got one comment that someone disliked it, but they actually explained WHY they disliked it and I agree with them. I hope the next time my bag gets posted they'll like the improvements I've made.

I don't feel like I can get any feedback elsewhere. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, it's all hug box. But the discord and this thread, as terrible as they can be at times, helped me turn my bag from trash into "worthy".
