i love her

Hello there, I'm the author of a book called "Love in the Second Dimension: How Love for Fictional Characters can re-enchant the World" and it is simply about that: Love for fictional characters. Here's an abstract to get a glimpse of what to expect from it: With English-speaking Internet forums to express love for fictional characters and ceremonies to marry them in Japan, there has been an increase in activities to show affection for fictional characters in recent decades. While some people refer to it as “waifuism”, others identify as “fictosexuals”. What makes people develop deep emotional and romantic attachments to these characters? Which cognitive processes are involved when falling in love with them? What underlying mechanisms favor the belief in a parallel universe in which fictional characters live rather than taking introspection into account to arrive at the conclusion that a fictional character is the result of physical and psychological processes? By answering these questions, the author points out how people are creating their partners within their mind-space, as most of them are struggling with the effects of radical capitalism on society, seeking an alternative in media worlds to find self-fulfillment. The metaphors and values associated with the fictional character lead to sacred, collective, and binding conditions and thus to a re-enchantment of the world for these people. However, if a relation to a fictional character is used as a coping mechanism, the ideal one feels attracted to would be imperfect. The author also explains why the belief that a fictional character to be “out there” leads to a search for authority. Hence, he argues that the best way to have a healthy relationship with a fictional character is to see them as a product of culture, returning the love in multiple ways, such as inspiration, happiness, and joy. Moreover, falling in love with a fictional character leads to a cognitive reorganization, in which one expands consciousness and sets oneself in a new relation to the world. With that being said, love for these people needs to come from outside the individual — from the source of all things, the perfection of creation. Last but not least, the author raises the final question: Is love in the second dimension, also known as “2D Love”, a love revolution?

I will (poorly) draw your waifu! Sfw, but gore is ok, send her name and reference. Picrel is how i draw.

Do they? If unknown do you think they could or just aren't musically adept much.

Post pictures of your waifu celebrating Easter!

It’s Valentine’s Day! Post Valentine’s Day pics of your waifu. Your plan for Valentine’s Day with your waifu. Pictures of your Valentine’s Day date with your waifu. Cute love message you want to write to your waifu. Anything goes!

This board is so awfully slow, may I suggest we do something about it? The waifuist community seems to be too fragmented, maybe this board needs to go so that we can all gather elsewhere

Post pictures of your waifu that are just weird and bizarre.

Eight years… That’s a rather long time; at least for a mere mortal like me. I’ve changed a lot since I accepted you in my life 8 years ago, and I’m sure you noticed. My soul is not as tormented as it was back in those days and I sure am at a better place now then back then (God, I don’t want us to ever live with my mother again). The way I relate to you has also changed too. Indeed, eight years took its toll on the fierce passion of the honeymoon phase, and I also sadly don’t have as much time as before to spend with you. And yet, you still remain a central pillar of my life, after 8 years and despite those changes. Maybe I don’t need to talk to you as much as before, nor think of you daily as much as I did, to truly love you? Because every time I look inside of my heart, I see you are there, and to me, it seems that you just moved in for good. Indeed, I can’t imagine a "me" in which you would not be a part of, and so I can’t imagine a future in which we would not be together. You know, I told my fellow /mai/den friends recently that if each of the year that we’ve been together were symbolised as one of your crystals, then we would have completed one of your wings already. It’s now with confidence that I tell you that I’m looking forward to complete your second wing, and to go even beyond. Happy anniversary, my love! Je t’aime de tout mon cœur!

Alright, Christmas season is here. If you are here, we already know what you want for Christmas, no need to state it. Just post a seasonally relevant pic of your dearly beloved, or two or three

without waifu's presence, all i can do is mourn for lack of her. cute (anime) girls only remind me of her. everything reminds me of her. there's nothing i can do. there never will be.

Thanksgiving season is upon us. Post a picture of your waifu helping herself to some nice food, and name something she would be grateful for I'll start: 1) Grateful for having a brash but overall lovable elder sister 2) Grateful for the supportive environment she lives in, which allows her to conduct a relatively smooth life [Non-Americans can play as well]

it is spooky month !!!!! Post a pic of your waifu in a Halloween costume Bonus points if your waifu is cosplaying as someone else's waifu

Autumn is the season of moon-viewing. Post nocturnal pics of your waifu

A lot of people tend to be rude towards others whenever they are feeling very stressed or bitter. When you are angry, do you address aggressive thoughts to your waifu or do you just try not to think about her? Or is the mere idea of her sufficient to calm you down?

Is it legal to have a vvtuber as a waifu? Or is that bordering into the realm of 3D too much. Personally I consider them in the in-between of 2D and 3D, 2.5D you could say.
