Back at it with a winter setup from December 2024 until February 2025 I guess! As usual, I didn’t have a winter theme planned like the last 2 years, I decided to just combine my latest goods and fanmerch to make a PC setup I like to look at, along with seasonal winter holiday florals!
[PC setup, 2025]This is a daytime photo so you can see the details, it won’t look much better at night to be honest, the colors are rather soothing this time around. I replaced the starry dragon deskmat with my previous pink LED Razer mat because the deskmat was in need of cleaning, I also cleaned some booby mousepads too lol. Starting from the left, I put up two different poison postcards from autumn’s theme made by Koyamori, the Transformers tumbler cup is the same. I finished the chrysanthemum Lego set I got for Christmas so that’s on display, yay! I also put up a Frieren and Himmel poster I got from Sabasse Studios, a Himmel square print from Cwilock, the art noveau print of Frieren from Lucid Sky, three autograph posters by the English voice actors from the local art markets, then a Transformer bishoujo print by Creaturedeer. I also included almost every single Transformers figure and toy I got since October which is a lot (I’m crazy I know!), plus my trading card art and a comic book compilation “Best of Starscream”. Oh and also I found official Transformers pens and erasers at Teso Life lol. On the computer stand itself is official Frieren merch from AnimeYankii and Kino, then fanmade enamel pin and sticker by Nonomoe, acrylic keychains from ofskysociety and ninidraws. A handful of fanmade Transformers stickers from Plushisheep and pikelart and missjamiekaye, keychain also from pikelart. The small Frieren print is from yellolinh. On the right side are some Genshin stuff that were particularly wintry, Childe and Albedo fanart from the Xianxia Genshin anthology fanzine. I actually included 2 non-thematic stickers lol, a capybara from foxyjoy and a struggle bus from the fleamarket because I’m struggling over here lmao.
As for the floral decor, I used the same red roses and camellias as last year, plus white icy roses and red winter berries and pine needles, also some glittery gold roses for the drama. The orchids are just there because I bought them from the grocery store to replace my dying houseplants. The scattered blue flower petals represent the blue wildflowers in Frieren that are Himmel’s favorite, and also the blue glowing flowers in Transformers (no clue what they are about, but I see them all the time in fanart so they must be important lol). Overall the color scheme is bright red and shades of pale to navy blue, which is Optimus Prime’s colors, and of course my favorite color combination, but that’s more like red and blue are so common and always look good together. There is no common thread between Transformers or Frieren besides the blue flowers, I just didn’t have enough of either fandom to decorate my area although now that I put them both in it’s a little crowded. But if you really want to overthink it, I guess Frieren is about a powerful immortal learning important life lessons after interacting with humans and Transformers is occasionally about that too.
Anyway, a lot less tacky than the spooky autumn theme but still a lot of colors going on. But that’s how it’s going to be from now on! Full of things I love… See you in spring!
