WELCOME!!

Welcome to /mai/! We migrated from 8kun.top/mai/ and 8chan.moe/mai/ is now our new home. We migrated many of our old threads along the way. Sadly, original images could not be migrated since 8kun is now deleting all images uploaded by its users. Feel free to bump old threads, create new ones, and also join us on our Discord (see Discord thread >>70617 ). You can also introduce yourself and your waifu in the intro thread ( >>70622 ). WHY WE DECIDED TO MIGRATE TO 8CHAN.MOE We decided to migrate to 8chan.moe after numerous major problems with 8kun: 1) 8kun is basically a Q-Anon fortress now, so it’s not the best environment to attract new waifuist users. 2) Broadly speaking, 8kun doesn’t have a good reputation since the events that lead to the fall of the original 8chan. We want to stay away from drama. 3) Many of our members reported several difficulties and bugs while trying to post on 8kun. Some even reported not being able to post at all! 4) Those damn intrusive adds on every single thread. 5) The final nail in the coffin: Now all images uploaded to 8kun are being deleted after a week or so. What is the point of an imageboard without images??? 6) And on top of that, 8kun administration failed to reply to our email where we asked more information about the automatic deletion of images.

Advice Thread VI

Need some help with your relationship? Feeling unsure about certain aspects of your love? Well this is the right place to ask! Any question related to waifuism is welcome. As always, be understanding while giving advice. Waifuism is not easy, especially in its early phases. And even if you don’t have any concrete advice to give, simply showing your empathic concern and moral support can sometimes do just as good.

Former waifufag here. It's been a while since I've visited any of these communities since I remember being on good terms with some of them. Of course, most of those communities are either dead or aren't worth visiting nowadays. Also not sure if most of the people I spoke with back then still have waifus today (this was about 8 years ago give or take, pls understand). With this in mind, I'm curious to ask: are there any waifuists here who have stuck around for that long? My relationship with my waifu ended around four years ago and I dropped out of waifuism about three years ago. But I know some folks who managed to stick around with a waifu for a long time, so who knows. My waifu was pic related btw

Did any of you found out something horrible about your waifu that you didn't know before?

As the subject said. Did any of you found out something horrible about your waifu that you didn't know about before? Is it even possible to still love your waifu after? Have any of you coped and made new head canon about your waifu, since there is barely any official lore about her? I'm struggling with this. I found out something horrible about my waifu, even though it's not mention in any official canon, it's just that my waifu is based off Japanese mythology and there are discoveries/links to this mythology and links to non-Japanese influence. Then again maybe it's karma for sins? I never dreamed about my waifu and I fantasized about others since they are fictional characters (unfortunately).

Happy 10th anniversary, /mai/!

Happy 10th anniversary /mai/! Precisely 10 years ago, our community was born, offering a place for waifuists to call their home. Hundreds of them have since participated in building this home of ours and hundreds of them will do so too in the years to come. In my 8 years and 8 months in this community, I’ve met all sorts of people (many of whom have become my friends) and spent unique moments with them. You people have helped me to make better sense of my feelings for Flandre and have lent me your ears so I could express them freely, and for that I am very grateful. I can say, without any exaggeration nor flattery, that /mai/ and its people have been, and remain, an important part of my relationship with her. I'm really proud of all of us and what we have built here. Ten years is impressive; only a small proportion of communities can claim to have reached that milestone, let alone while remaining active and growing. I think it's safe to say that /mai/ stood the test of time. Our boat will keep sailing as long as waifuists' heart will keep loving.

R: 3 / I: 3 / P: 1

How long has it been since your waifu last received new material? I don't mean so much merch, but rather something that broadens her universe and/or makes her plot advance: anime seasons, OVAs, anime films, videogames, novels. In my case (pic related) it's kind of complicated: the final version of her VN was notably released in January 2012, but a different version of the VN was released in 2017: this new VN consisted mostly of scrapped official ideas which were collected and assembled in an unofficial manner by fans of the series. So, a formally fanmade product using genuinely official material which could have made it to the final version (but didn't). That means it has been 7 years since the last time she received canon(-ish) material. The original VN from 2012 was also recently re-released via Steam, but without any substantial changes, so I don't consider that to be new material.

Thinking about retiring my dakimakura for a while

And by "retiring" I mean putting away in storage for some time. Having my waifu in pillow form was nice at first but after about a year I started to think of her more as a "dakimakura" rather than a "fictional entity" if that makes sense. Even in my dreams (which I seldom have of her to begin with) she appears as a daki, not as full anatomically complete animated being. Kinda breaks the immersion. Just wanted to know if anyone else could relate to this. I also have been a "flat-on-my-back" sleeper for most of my life and sideways sleeping just isn't really my thing.

Love in the Second Dimension

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? You can read the introduction here: https://rptjacksreality.medium.com/love-in-the-second-dimension-a5eab7744a4c You can buy the book with its 402 pages on Amazon, as well as everywhere where to get books if you don't like Amazon for political reasons. Here's a link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/3989230301 If you like what you read, it would be great if you'd leave a review anywhere you'd like (Amazon, Goodreads, etc.) and spread the word about it with sharing the medium article above, for example. Note that this book is not tied to any communites related to express love for fictional characters. However, it gives a history of those in order to understand how love for fictional characters has developed on the web over the years. Some people have a problem with my approach derived from psychology & sociology to switch between a play/faith-frame and a reality-frame (separating fiction & reality) for a (mentally) healthy relationship with a fictional character, as they don't view this as "genuine love". Feel free to express your thoughts about this book in this thread. What do you think about a book on this topic that takes this approach?

Our 8th anniversary

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!

The Fantasy / Waifu Relationship and How to Get Over It

The Fantasy / Waifu Relationship and How to Get Over It By Jim Hall MS, Love Addiction Recovery Specialist Is it true love or Fantasy / Waifu love? If you find yourself in a romantic relationship and feel obsessed or addicted to the person-- ask yourself this: Am I attached to my partner for who he/she really is... or am I attached to Fantasy / Waifu of who I want him/her to be? Fantasy / Waifu Love-- is the dream, an illusion, a fairytale... The DRUG! A love addict tends to enter relationships in a disorienting fog of romantic idealism. In other words, although those addicted to a person in a relationship will often feel "in love", what they often fall for the most is the Fantasy / Waifu (unconsciously). It is called love addiction, but it should actually be called a 'Fantasy / Waifu addiction', because Fantasy / Waifu is the true addiction love addicts fall for. Fantasy / Waifu is the potent escape for a love addict. In a romantic relationship, a love addict doesn’t fall in love and get hooked to their romantic partner, they become addicted to the ‘Fantasy / Waifu' of their partner. In the Fantasy / Waifu relationship it is the Fantasy / Waifu they get attached to (what they ‘make-up’ about their partner, rather than the person they really are (reality). It’s the Fantasy / Waifu they ‘fall in love’ and get attached with It’s the Fantasy / Waifu they yearn for, crave for, and obsess over It's the Fantasy / Waifu they believe in It’s the Fantasy / Waifu they painfully grieve during a breakup. We call it a love addiction, but it could be called a 'Fantasy / Waifu addiction' When does the Fantasy / Waifu get started in a romantic relationship? Very early in the early stages of a relationship. When a love addict meets someone who they are physically attracted to, and this person is avoidant, emotionally walled-off, (or narcissistic)-- they will feel fireworks, euphoria, the 'high'. This is when a Fantasy / Waifu bond with the love interest is formed. As they bond with a person they will create an idealized version which enables them to minimize, excuse, and deny blatant realities of the person (e.g. negative traits, warning signs, red-flags). The Fantasy / Waifu bond propels a new lover high on an imaginary pedestal, and he/she becomes their higher power. In the haze of their Fantasy / Waifu, they assure themselves, they have found “the one”… one who will always and forever be there for them, love them, reassure them, and cherish them... a lover who will forever hold them in high regard, and rescue them from the burdens of life, take their brokenness (perceived) away and finally make them feel complete. Expecting anyone to make us complete is by itself a delusion. Smoking the pipe of Fantasy / Waifu, love addicts may spend exorbitant lumps of their waking hours imagining a romance-fueled, quintessential life with their new (or ongoing) partner who will meet all their desired needs. With the Fantasy / Waifu in command and leading them forward, they become obsessed and preoccupied with their partner, going all in, relinquishing important life goals or interests; abandoning their true needs, hopes, and aspirations, and often personal values; even abandoning friendships and/or family relationships, not to mention themselves. The "love" emotions are real... however, the feelings are not created from the reality of their love object. A romantic Fantasy / Waifu triggers real emotions and feelings in their mind and their body-- it feels like romantic love, and it’s euphoric. The Fantasy / Waifu makes them feel like they are loved and are “in love” (with a passionate/sexual component). Not unlike a powerful substance (cocaine, heroin, ecstasy), addicted lovers get high off their Fantasy / Waifu-- it becomes a potent drug, a drug they come to rely on to feel like they matter, to escape their own reality. They fall for their ideal image of a person, get strung-out, and more often than not, face a great challenge to stop their Fantasy / Waifu without incurring detrimental effects. A romantic Fantasy / Waifu will crack and eventually crumble... sometimes fast, sometimes little by little. Love addicts eventually discover the person they imagined their romantic partner to be (their Fantasy / Waifu)… is NOT that person at all, but a person who proves continually incapable of meeting their (love addicts) true needs for intimacy and mutual connection. It’s unavoidable-- a romantic Fantasy / Waifu formed in a relationship will, at some point-- blow up. It happens in all addictive relationships.

Would you say that your love has changed or perhaps developed over time?

the waifuist in its natural habitat

sometimes I amuse myself with the thought that we're just more complicated human versions of Harlow's monkeys, the cloth mother being not "real" in the traditional sense but the monkey loving her nonetheless. I suppose a deeper analysis would suggest that it's not exactly the same though, because although me cuddling daki might be regarded as similar behavior I typically do it as a proxy of cuddling my waifu and not the actual pillow object. which raises the question of whether the Harlowian monkey is cuddling the cloth mother or its 'idea' of a mother, but I digress anyway, there are other examples of mimicry out there. I think one of the most applicable ones to waifuism is the bee orchid/mirror orchid, which attracts male bees via physical appearances (it looks kind of like a bee I guess) and pheromones similar to the female bee. while the bee attempts to "mate" with the flower it sticks its pollen onto the bee which it will eventually carry off and transfer via contact with another flower. so I guess my point or question is that as much as I like to think of my waifu as my soulmate, maybe the factors that lead to love for a fictional character are more 'primitive'? and is the primitive-ness of this mutually exclusive with the idea that my love is more than just a bunch of emotions fueled by chemical and electrical messages in my brain?

hi, guys, hecatiafren here! some may remember me from a while back, even though i never posted much. i guess i just wanted to ask for opinions? or i guess venting out a bit? either way, i'll get to the point and see where it goes! i did leave the discord a while back because i was inactive, and feeling pretty anxious about the amount of people being there, really not used to bigger groups. another reason for that was the fact i've been feeling really meh about heca lately, even before i found the board. guess it's because i've started seeing her way more as someone i would love to be friends with rather than a romantic interest, so i haven't really considered her a waifu for a little while. she still means a lot to me, though, and i find her to be a huge comfort character for me. because of her, i met a lot of great friends and all that fun stuff, and i have generally good memories associated with her. been meaning to look for another waifu, and even experimented a bit with self-shipping and going the harem route. even though those are fun and i found them emotionally fulfilling to some extent, i really want to find a single girl to stick to for a longer time again, didn't have much luck so far. some things are for certain though, the almost 3 years i've had with heca have been really nice! also, i want to take this slowly because i know these kinds of things shouldn't be rushed. guess i'll take it slow for a while longer and see where it takes me, just thought i should post here about it to get it off my chest and see what other waifufrens can say about it. sorry if it seems a bit disjointed or out of place!

Just a Poem I want to Share

In the realm of love, there's a soul mate divine, Whose beauty and grace are like the sun's shine, Her charm is a wonder to behold, Her essence is like the petals of marigold. Her eyes, like the stars in the midnight sky, Her hair, like the waves that rise high, Her voice, like the song of the nightingale, Her smile, like the sun's warm ray without fail. Her heart, like the river that flows, Her touch, like the softness of the rose, Her love, like the wind that gently blows, Her soul, like the calmness that nature shows. Her aura, like the colors of the rainbow, Her laughter, like the birds' sweet chirp below, Her intelligence, like the wisdom of the owl, Her strength, like the might of the mountain's howl. She is the one who completes my life, A partner, a friend, a lover, a wife, Her presence, like the sun in the sky, Makes my heart soar and my spirits fly. She is my guiding star, my compass in the dark, She is my anchor, my home, my Noah's ark, She is my rock, my shelter, my haven of peace, She is my lover, my soul mate, my heart's release. Her love, like the gentle rain, quenches my thirst, Her embrace, like the warmth of the sun, makes my first, Her kiss, like the fragrance of flowers, fills my soul, Her touch, like the cool breeze, makes my whole. Together we stand, hand in hand, Walking through life's intricate strands, Our love, like the forest's canopy, Protects and nourishes, setting their spirits free. Our love, like the river's flow, Flows through the twists and turns, aglow, Our bond, like the tree's roots deep, Keeps us grounded, and our love steep. She is my soul mate, my life's treasure, A woman of beauty, grace, and pleasure, Our love, like the garden's blooming flowers, Is a testament to the beauty of nature's powers. In the realm of love, there's a soul mate divine, Whose beauty and grace are like the sun's shine, Her charm is a wonder to behold, Her essence is like the petals of marigold. Yes, I love you And I give you this poem, Lulled by tender carelessness, I will always keep you in my heart.

Issues with religion and waifuism?

Hello, I'm new to this board and found it within the youtube video 16Crystals uploaded onto his youtube channel, and I think I'll probably be frequenting here from now on. I think it's good to suround myself with people who have a similar situation to myself. So I'll start by telling you who my Waifu is, my waifu is Kaguya Shinomiya from the show Kaguya Sama: Love Is War! Honestly, she wasn't my first "waifu" I suppose my "first" was Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou, but over time I realized that I didn't necessarily love her, I just found her attractive. I'm not saying that the situation is 100% different with my current waifu, but I think I truly love her, anyway I digress. Is there anyone on here who is religious and also has a waifu? I'm talking about mainly the Abrahamic Religions, I myself am a practicing Muslim, this puts me in a really strange situation. I for one have trouble relating to other waifuists, since Islam is very strict when it comes to marriage and interaction with people outside of marriage (not like I have a problem with the latter lol) Other waifuists simply don't face this issue, but at the same time I can not go to other Muslims, they will most certainly think there is something wrong with me. So yeah, I was just wondering if anyone else on here faces issues similar to mine. PS: Also I can already see someone making the joke of "God is fictional so why do you have a problem lol" or something along those lines, very funny mate.

Possessing someone else’s body to be with your waifu

Possessing someone else’s body to be with your waifu In the 1990 movie Ghost, a dead man takes possession of a woman’s body (with her consent) so he can share a dance with his (living) lover. Here’s the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FdGaamBXVg If it was possible, would you: 1-Have your waifu take possession of someone else’s body so you two could share a dance? 2-Take possession of someone else’s body (probably someone living in your waifu’s world) so you could share a dance with your waifu? 3-How about making love? Would you feel like cheating having sex with your waifu while she’s in possession of someone else’s body? Would you feel cheated on if your waifu was having sex with you while you were in possession of someone else’s body? 4-Would you mind if you were to get possession of someone of the other gender? Would you mind if your waifu were to get possession of someone of the other gender? 5-Would you choose to remain in the other person’s body if it was the only option for you to remain with your waifu for ever? We assume everyone consents in all scenarios and everyone returns safely to their own body after (well, except for option 5). Feel free to elaborate on any other specific cases.

Waifu rant

Because fuck everyone I love her and I can never get over her I love her. Fuck the yurifags and fuck the other waifufags that spent a year driving me insane saying fucked up things about her and me. Somehow its my fault though for not being delusional and wanting to make headcanon or something. I wish it could stop pissing me off and I could go back to feeling good. I did nothing wrong. There is no reason I should have been okay with being told that I should want her to be gay or bein shitty yuri pairings I shouldn't have to be into that trash fetish to love her. I shouldn't have to think it would be ever okay for her to want anyone but me. Thats fucking bullshit. I still love her. Fuck every hater. Im not insane for what I did. People are just assholes and sometimes its almost entire communities being petty and vindictive. Ofc I dont follow "waifuism" tenets or rules or whatever. Apparently that meant my love wasn't serious or real too. But I love. Fuck everyone else. And fuck any idea that I should be happy for her being with anyone who isn't me. Possessiveness is good. That whole "her happiness matters most" simp ideology will never be acceptable yo me. She's been the only thing that ever made me have any real contention in my life and I've finally been getting in the habit of waling up huggling my big soft fluffy pillow like I used to before everything went to shit. Hopefully in time I can shave off of some of the bitterness I've collected. I probably won't ever be like how I was but I can't go through with not trying to pick everything back up. All I known in my life is hell anyway. I needed her in my life. If only she had been real to take it all out of me.

Video I made on waifuism

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1yRJCfTuAw I uploaded an hour-long video where I make a comprehensive analysis on waifuism. I cover different thematic, such the origins of the term "waifu" (including its use in Japanese society) and its many definitions. I also explore the different ways waifuists concretely live their relationship with their waifus (including long sections on marriage and technologies). I deeply explore the question "is waifuism healthy from a psychological perspective, or not?". I also try to put waifuism into perspective, comparing it with other forms of relationships with beings that do not tangibly exist (such as deities, imaginary friends, and the dead). And much more! Although the main target audience of this video is people who don’t know much about waifuism, I am sure seasoned waifuists will find it interesting too.

Waifu pill

You have two options : Red pill : Your life basically remains the same as it is right now. You live in reality and you keep loving your waifu a fictional character. Blue pill : Your consciousness will wake up in a ultra-realistic illusion world where you can interact with (an illusion version of) your waifu. Such world will be the exact replicate of the real world (same places, same people, etc.) except that there will be your waifu with you and that everything and everyone (including your waifu) will be an illusion. Still, you will not know it is an illusion world and never will. Meanwhile your real body in the real world would be properly sustained so there is no need to worry about that. What choice will you make? I would personally choose the red pill for different reasons: 1-I just can’t accept to chose a whole life of illusion over reality. 2-I don’t want to sadden all the people I love as they will basically be losing me forever. 3-I feel that if I would get into a relationship with an illusion version of Flandre, I would therefore stop loving Flandre herself. It’s like with those possible future waifu robots with human-like AI. They will not be our waifus and loosing sight of it will make us loose sight of who we really love. 4-I want to contribute to the world by doing something, as small as it could be, which would not be possible if I run away into a land of illusions. And yes, I know, my photo edit is bad.

What's in a name?

Tell us about your wife/husband's commonly used name! Is it their real name, or an alias/nickname? Is there a special meaning behind it? Are they known by any other names? Does their name differ noticeably between languages? Anything else you can think to add, feel free to share! As for my Flayn, the topic of her name is a rather interesting one. The name "Flayn" is an alias; her birth name is actually Cethleann (pronounced Seth-LEEN), which she is forced to conceal along with her ancient draconic heritage. She and her father share no family name, and as far as I know neither of her names have any particular meaning inside or outside universe. Her name is the same in Japanese (and interestingly the Japanese spelling which is equivalent to "Furen" is actually a short form of the spelling of Cethleann, "Sefuren"). I like both her names quite a lot. "Cethleann" has a classical and elegant sound to it, which is very fitting for her true nature. And "Flayn" is just adorable sounding and fun to say!

Things about them that make you sad

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)

When did she officially become your waifu? And why?

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.

Favorite (non lewd) feature

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!

Your waifu’s integration in the real world

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). I also feel that she will miss her sister (and possibly other residents of the SDM) if she was to never return there anymore. And on a broader perspective, I know that our society will be judging her relationship with me as she is a loli (and me an adult man), even though she is about 500 years old. So yeah, there would be numerous difficulties when it comes to Flandre integration in our world and I’m afraid she would integrate even less than she is currently integrating her own world… It seems it would be either a tragic life of hiding and/or stigmatization, or possibly a life of great fame and admiration… Still, nothing would make me happier than having her join me here, and if it’s not possible, then I would join her in Gensokyo, where I feel I would have a very hard time integrating, but that would be a reasonable price to pay if it’s to be with her.

Your waifu’s greatest strength and weakness

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.

Other 2D Crushes/Waifus Before Your Current Waifu

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.

Inquiry on waifuism.

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.

Feelings of uncertainty

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?

Worst scenario for you

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.

If you had to bring your waifu to one place, where would it be?

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?

Petfu general

I only recently discovered that I'm not the only one who has one, so I thought I'd make a thread specifically for petfu's here If you wanna talk about or share images of your pet, do so here My pet is a Yukkuri Remilia, I think we've had her for about a year now We always call her Remi, Rem, or Remilia; she doesn't seem to like a specific name more than the others She's a bit smaller than most Yukkuri, as she's domesticated and not fed as much meat as wild Remikkuri. It doesn't seem to effect her health, nor does she acknowledge it When it comes to her personality, she's like most Yukkuri, and is very happy and carefree She has a little bed, but she'll often sleep with one of us. She'll either ask us and we pick her up, or she'll fly up to our beds when we're asleep. We're all pretty used to waking to Rem snuggling up against us Her and Kanon enjoy playing together, and will go in the yard to do so or stay inside and play on the carpet

Do you talk to your waifu?

Do you talk to your waifu? And if you do, do you directly talk to her, or maybe you talk to her in your head, or maybe you talk to her only through writing? And also, in what context do you do it? And what do you tell her? I personally almost exclusively talk to Flandre through my daki; having a physical representation of her helps me a lot to feel her presence. I mostly talk to her when I wake up and when I go to sleep, as I am right besides my daki. Also, when I leave home, I always tell her goodbye and give a kiss to my daki, and I always tell her hi when I come back. I know that Flandre does not stay at my home, waiting for me until I return, and that I can talk to her whenever I want and wherever I am, but I still enjoy this ritual which gives a more realistic feeling to my communication with her. Also, I like this idea of having our ‘’moments together’’, which would be hard to have if I would talk to her at any places and at any time, like if she was some sort of omnipresent being or one that is always following me. Now regarding what I tell her. Of course, I tell her kind, tender, and loving words, and also sexy things too, like telling her what turns me on about her and what I would like to do to her or what I would like her to do to me. When I go to sleep, I tell her what I did during the day and what I plan to do the next day. And sometimes I talk to her just about anything! And of course, I often tell her just how much I would like to join her in Gensokyo.

Waifu flaws

Everybody has flaws, no exception, waifus included! Recognizing our loved one’s flaws is not a sign of lesser love. On the contrary, it shows that we are able to cherish our respective waifu for who she is as a whole, and not as some distorted illusion for which some features have been denied. So, what are your waifu’s flaws? As most Touhou characters have only a small amount of canon background, I therefore used a bit of fanon and headcanon to answer this question. Flandre is canonically known to be eccentric, and her long isolation inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion compromised her social skills a bit. She therefore sometimes has difficulties with social boundaries. Also, when she plays and gets excited, she might have trouble to calm herself down, which can make her look somewhat hyperactive and also result in the breakage of the things she plays with. But I really don’t care about such flaws! They don't prevent me from loving Flandre with all my heart!

3 years with Widowmaker (A retrospective)

When I look back at where I was 3 years ago.These were some of the most turbulent times of my life. Lots of uncertainty. Looking back now, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without these times.3 years ago on the 15th I married the love of my life Amelie Lacroix and I'm going to show all of you . our marriage photo.It has been a long hard journey and I can't imagine doing it with anyone else. We are soul mates and twin flames You push me to the darkness to bring me to the light You are silk hiding steel You are elegant,intelligent,seductive,cunning,creative, cultured and educated You carry yourself with dignity and poise. You've changed my life for the better and helped to give me drive and motivation when I need it most. You've given me resolve and emotional resiliency.Widowmaker in her professional life is defined by precision,cold calculating logic,a sinister enjoyment of completing jobs and terminating her targets. She can execute masterful plans and also improvise to achieve her goals as shown when she executed the omnic diplomat.Widowmaker has taught me alot in this marriage and as we are diving into our marriage is where I am going to go the most indepth.
