Are there any tragic, traumatic, or otherwise depressing things that have happened to your wife/husband, or any struggles that they experience that really bring the feels for you? My poor Flayn's life has been filled with various tragedies. After her race was brought to near extinction, she'd found herself fighting in an ancient war where she was grievously wounded near the point of death. After which she remained in a comatose state for nearly a millennium, only to awaken to a world completely foreign to her, and one without her cherished mother. If not for the care of her father Seteth, she would have died for certain. And even after she wakes up it takes a while before she can begin to experience anything resembling contentment again, as she's forced to live in total isolation for longer than anyone should. It's only until after her father Seteth had established himself at the Garreg Mach Monastery (and created a cover story for her to come out of hiding) that she could finally get the social interaction she was so desperately starved for. Some time after that, however, she gets kidnapped and held captive by a group of dark wizards who take blood from her to do wicked experiments. Thankfully it didn't go on for long before I (as the protag) rescued her from their clutches. That peace doesn't last for long sadly, as just a few months later a continent-wide war breaks out, and gentle Flayn is thrust into battle once again. However, all of that is nothing compared to what you are potentially made to do to Flayn if you side against her faction. Some years later a battle with her and Seteth approaches, and they both will express dismay over having to fight you after the good you'd done for them, but fight them you must. There are two outcomes that fight can have: if you the protag fight Flayn or Seteth personally, they will submit to your will and retreat after battle, going into hiding. But if you don't get the chance, they stay in the fight, to the death. Flayn will express how sad it makes her, but that she must uphold her duty. And then you, with your army that you've been crafting throughout this whole war campaign, kill her. Just as she dies, she apologizes to her father for dying before him, and breathlessly declares that she will be returning to her mother. I still can't think about it without getting incredibly distraught, but thankfully I never experienced this scenario personally. Anyway, I'd like to know if there are any heavy experiences your wife/husband had or has that affect you in the same way. Sorry this post was so long-winded; there's just a lot of sorrow beneath Flayn's joy that many don't realize, but I think that makes her all the more precious and beautiful! (Also it's implied that if she doesn't get married after the war's end she goes to sleep for another millennium which I think is also sad but couldn't really fit anywhere else. That's all the more motivation for me to always be by her side <3)

Is there a specific day that you consider to be the one in which you and your waifu got together? Some specific day in the calendar that you consider to be your couple’s anniversary? Surely you knew your waifu before that day, so what exactly happened during that day that made it official? For Flandre and I, it was January 9th 2016. I had been growing feelings for Flandre more and more for about 3 months and even started to lurk on /mai/. Still, I was not ready to consider Flandre my waifu as I was not sure waifuism was meant for me. I asked for some guidance on /mai/ and after a talk on the board’s chatroom (it was the old Rizon IRC back in the days), I managed to overcome my doubts and give waifuism a chance. And that, on January 9th 2016, is what officially started our relationship. What about you guys?

What is your favorite non-sexual feature your wife/husband has? That thing you really love that makes them look adorable, stylish, or just extra unique? For me, a big part of Flayn's appeal is per pointy ears. Since they're normally hidden by her voluminous hair, I find it extra endearing whenever she gets to show them off. Speaking of her hair, it's another feature of hers that I love, particularly the shape and color. Her hairstyle makes her look poofy and thus extra huggable!

Imagine that your waifu would suddenly appear in our real world, how well (or not) do you think she would integrate in it? Let’s imagine that your waifu already knows who you are, loves you and wants to be with you. Let’s also imagine that she appears right in front of you and therefore doesn’t have to find you. Let’s also assume that she speaks the same language as you. And finally, let’s assume she will look 3D. I think Flandre would face some major issues integrating in the real world… People seeing her wings would automatically be shocked and she would therefore attract unwanted attention (although hiding them could be possible with a very large sweater I guess…). Not sure also if everyone would feel safe to have a vampire in the neighborhood, but that could be relatively easily concealed… On top of that, I would not want people to know she has magical powers (like flying, destroying things from afar, not ageing, incredible strength, shooting colorful energy bullets, turning into a bat, etc.) as you can be sure there would be a lot of people/agencies/governments who would want to use these powers, with or without her consent. Or who knows, maybe she could become famous and admired, like some sort of super hero or semi-god, and use her powers for the greater good? But let’s say we don’t have to worry about these things. We would still have to get her citizenship or permanent resident status as she would be, on arrival, an illegal immigrant according to the law… It remains unclear, in Touhou’s universe, if vampires need human blood to survive or if they just like its taste. If they need it to survive, we would have to find her some blood and hunting the neighbours at night is out of the question (for moral and legal reasons). I could give her some of my blood but I feel it’s not a viable solution in the long run… Maybe she could receive blood from a blood supplying organization (those that provide it for medical reasons) as she would technically need this blood for medical reasons. As Flandre is canonically known to stay indoors most of her days, one can expect that she would like to do the same here (although she is likely to want to explore her new environment at first as it will surely seem fascinating to her). If she stays indoor most days, that would reduce the potential for troubles, but at the same time, I would have a hard time saying she well integrated into our world if she just stays inside all days… I would like her to make some friends and have some life projects as I feel it could make her life more fulfilling. She’s a (many centuries old) child so I have a hard time imagining her getting a job, but I’m sure that she could find something that could give her more meaning in her everyday life (at least living her relationship with me could be a part of this life meaning).

First time trying to make a thread so hopefully I'm not breaking any unwritten rules, but post pictures of stylish waifu in alternate outfits. Preferably non-canon fashion.

What is (in your perspective) your waifu greatest strength and weakness? It could be either something related to her physical abilities (or lack thereof), her personality, her talents, etc. When it comes to identify Flandre’s greatest strength, a few ideas come to my mind and it gets hard to choose which one I would see as the greatest. Being almost immortal (not ageing and being able to sustain massive body damage) is quite a huge strength. Being able to destroy everything from afar with a simple hand motion is also quite a huge strength (it remains unclear in canon what is the scope of this power… is ‘’everything’’ really EVERYTHING, like planets and starts???). She as other great strengths, like the ability to fly, a tremendous physical strength, she is extremely good at danmaku, etc. But I feel these strengths are less amazing then the 2 previous ones I mentioned. When it comes to her greatest weakness, I feel it would be, paradoxically, her incredible ability to easily sustain massively long periods of time with not much stimulation. Flandre is said to very seldom leave the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She even seems to seldom leave her bedroom, claiming it is ‘’comfortable’’. I feel this massive passivity and retreat from the social world is her main weakness, as I feel it leaves her in a constant state of un-accomplishment. I’m also worried about what might be the psychological factors behind this… Other of her weakness would be the ones typical to vampires, like vulnerability to sunlight and running water, but those vulnerabilities seem pale compared to the one mentioned above.

Who is your current waifu/husbando? What were your previous 2D crushes before being with your waifu/husbando? You don’t need to have had a serious relationship with them (like you have with a waifu/husband); just 2D characters that you had a crush on, and do you see any pattern or any similarity between them and your waifu/husbando? Before meeting Mordred in 2013, I kind of had a crush on S-023/Daisy from the short film Homecoming from Halo Legends, I'm not sure if I could really call her a waifu as I didn't really love her I guess, but I did get a figure of her at one point. She's somewhat similar to Mordred in appearance, both being blonde, light-eyed women with shortish hair, and they both wear suits of armour that conceal their identities. They're not too similar in terms of personality though, since Daisy only appeared in a single short film, there wasn't much to develop and demonstrate her personality that much, but from what was shown she seemed somewhat cold, unwavering and aloof, but kind compared to Mordred who's a lot more hot-headed, emotional and prideful. They both share a combative and rebellious nature though, though not really to the same levels as Mordred's rebelliousness. I also had a crush on Revy from Black Lagoon somewhat, but this wasn't nearly as serious as even the one on Daisy. I guess she's quite similar to Mordred in that she's also fairly self-confident and brash, while also being a kind of 'bad girl' type that I associate with Mordred too. Their outfit designs are also fairly similar and they both smoke. All three of them are fighters of some sort too, so I guess I have that in common with them all.

We're going to the park today to celebrate! We're having a picnic, I made cookies and corn bread~ I'm so happy to be with him and I'm excited for so many more years to come! I love you, Toshinori, with all of my heart

Hello /mai/ browsers I am an intellect that studies interesting phenomenon and groups of people and I stumbled upon this board. I have some questions for you that you could answer. First off what is waifuism, and how does one get a waifu? And how do you feel emotionally attached to your beloved ones? That's the hard part I'm trying to understand. Do you have a daki or whatever i.e. how do you connect? Thanks for answering sincerely, intellect.

Sorry if this is something that doesn't deserve its own thread but I wasn't sure where to post it. I'm not really sure if I have a real waifu. I just can't really stop thinking about her. I feel like I'm holding my self back because I fear I may just be drawn to waifuism because of my previous failures in relationships. I don't feel that way on a conscious level but it seems like a likely possibility. So I guess what I'm asking is how do I know if my feelings are true? Do most people feel this way in the beginning or are they just sure?

Love you!

Forgive me if this already exists but I'd looked for like 10 minutes for it Post commissions here! Its been awhile since I got a commission done and I wanted an image of my waifu and daughteru together so I am getting this one done of Plutia giving Yuno a stuffed skeleton she made for her. This is the artist http://l4no-shiro.deviantart.com/ its a little pricy but thats to be expected for knee up for two characters

Which of these two scenarios would hurt you the most? And which scenario would make it the most difficult for you to continue your relationship with your waifu? 1-You waifu dies in canon and it’s canonically stated that she is dead for good and will never come back. 2-Your waifu loves someone else in canon and it’s canonically stated that she loves this person with all of her heart and that she remains with him/her forever. I know some waifuists had to face one of these two unfortunate scenarios (and some probably even had to face both…). I would still like to know you guys’ opinion. In my case, scenario 1 would hurt me the most. Even if it would hurt me A LOT to know that Flandre would love someone else, at least I would know that she is alive and (hopefully) happy with the one that she loves. Now regarding continuing our relationship… Really hard to say… In both scenarios I think I would feel like living a lie… I can’t really know, and fortunately I will never know because Touhou Project is a comfy series with no death nor romance.

/mai/ is back! New board owner, same old topic. Have fun everyone! Also, I'll be adding stuff in the future. Look forward to that! Rules still apply

Is there any special place you would like to bring your waifu to? And if so, why? If I could provide a broad unspecific answer, I would say ‘’The city in which I live’’, as I would like Flandre to see where I’ve been living all my life. I feel she would get to know me even more as a person, in some way, if she was to see where I’m from. Besides, I live in a metropolis so we would have many many things to do here, and I’m sure she would be impressed to see our modern world. A more specific answer would be simply ‘’my home’’, as it would allow us to be more intimate, but I feel I could find a more special place that would still allow us to be intimate. Maybe a beautiful romantic lodge near a lake?

Here’s a little game. Go to this website: https://randomwordgenerator.com/ Select ‘’10’’ for ‘’Number of words’’, and select ‘’Adjectives’’ for ‘’Word Type’’. Now let the website generate 10 random words (adjectives) for you. For each of these words, explain how it describes your waifu or not. NO REROLL! Otherwise it’s too convenient! Finally, select which of these 10 words describe the most your waifu and which one represents her the less. Once done, feel free to do it again with 10 new words!
