I know this is probably a silly question, but I really have no clue right now. In the past, I used to just hammer nails into the walls.

By now, I’ve become a bit more cautious about it. If I want to change positions later, I’d end up with lots of small nail holes in the walls.

How do you handle this? We have wallpaper. I’ve read about nano tape, which is said to hold pictures very securely, but opinions are very mixed on how well it can be removed.
I also don’t want to avoid a nail hole only to end up with a tape strip-sized hole in the wallpaper.

Pictures hang on the walls to decorate the nails.

I have to admit, it somehow hurts to drill or hammer nails into the walls of my own house. But I guess I can’t avoid a few nail holes here and there.

Then I guess the rail system is the only option after all. However, the "wires" will be visible on the wall, and the rails need to be mounted. I saw it recently. Maybe you get used to it.

For my sword (from Devil May Cry), I ordered curtain tiebacks.

How old are you again? This somehow reminds me of Big Bang Season 5 Episode 5 😀 The sword is quite a "beast," isn’t it?

36 and 29. Yes, the sword is pretty large and especially quite heavy. It’s old—I think I made it when I was around 16 or 17. It was for a costume back then. The blade was crafted from wood by a carpenter friend, and my father turned the metal sword handle on a lathe. For that reason alone, I would never give it away, as it’s a nice memory of my father. Back then, I was even able to take it to "Animagic." Nowadays, that’s no longer possible since wooden or metal weapons have long been banned at events like that (and rightly so). Here are some pictures of the pieces—though I really should repaint mine properly with today's methods. I’ll get around to that one day. 😀
