honestly I'm the same and it doesn't bother me 🤷 you're not a fake fan and you shouldn't feel pressured to spend money. you can start doing that when you feel comfortable with how much you have saved up y'know ?

You're not a fake fan or really cheap imo. Most people with big collections like that are adults who have been collecting and saving up for yearssss. Your friend is really lucky, as most people IK who like nerdy stuff usually have one or two figures at my age. If you want you could always diy some stuff like standees or posters. as there is lots of tutorials out there. 

I relate to the merch issue though... why is it soo expensive T-T 

Hellooo ^⁠__⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠^👋 
I happened to see your post when I was scrolling and here's what I think

There's nothing wrong with your mindset, it's up to you to decide how to spend your own money, especially if you work minimum wage or are in a hard financial situation. It's kinda stupid to think you're not a true fan if you're not buying EVERY piece of merchandise or any of it, as I do personally think there is a thin line between real passion for a project and mindless consumption. What matters the most is how you feel towards the thing in question, if you love it, you're a fan, plain and simple. 

So don't worry, you're not weird, cheap or a fake fan for prioritising other things (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

I genuinely hope you spend a great Christmas <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>
