>What physical things related to your waifu/husbando do you own?
I don't, and I probably would never own anything related to Akari-chan, by choice. At most I'd have several YuruYuri posters or some minor memorabilia stuff, which admittedly would be really nice to have.
My realization came through an in-universe event; Akari's big sister, Akane (pictured), is obsessed with her imouto and has countless photos of Akari on her bedroom walls, occassionally steals Akari's panties (to wear them on her head while she reads sister-incest doujinshi), and so on.
Of course Akane's obsession and perversions are exaggerated to the point of parody, and it's all played for laughs, but nevertheless I became aware that I wouldn't want to be anywhere close to the way Akane is. It's cringey (although Akane's behaviour did make me laugh often) and I'd be ashamed if I were anything like that, since YuruYuri itself makes fun of it, and it'd be hypocritical if I looked down on Akane while at the same time doing practically the same thing.
2D love, at least how I treat it personally, has always been something highly non-material and esoteric, although I understand why someone would want to physically have something which is tied to their 2D love, as to have a material sort of connection to them, which ties the two realms together. Sometimes it's simply for aesthetic reasons. Basically, I suppose it's the same reason why 3D couples usually have some framed pictures of each other. Nothing wrong with it.
But I have encountered people who decorate their entire room (not just a few pictures here and there, but much more than that) with posters/figurines/etc of their 2D love(s), which, although I won't denounce it because it's your hobby and it makes you happy so it's all good (also, maybe you're a collector), I'd personally feel embarassed if I had such a room. Not because of what others think though. Even if nobody were to ever enter my room; that's not what it's about. See:
Imagine if he/she saw your room. Or reverse it; what if you walked into your waifu/husbando's room and it's filled with pictures of you, everywhere you look. What would you make of it?
It's just a hypothetical scenario of course... But it's what keeps me far away from this aspect of modern 2D love. It's not about what everyone else thinks, but what she would think.
That's just how I personally see it though. Nothing more, nothing less. And I've seen a ton of great stuff while reading this thread. Such as >>17212 because the symbolism of wearing a ring to display attachment and faithfulness to your husbando/waifu is actually really sweet.
