>>72119 Watching other people argue is the comfiest after all.

>>72117 What happened to EmiSu?

>>72121 He left /Mai/ and kind of disappeared into the ether of the internet, nothing complicated.

>>71984 Welcome to /mai/! You asked to join the Discord server about 3 weeks ago but then didn’t join. You are always welcome to ask for a new link! >>72015 >Okay, first time I hear of this, I am definitely going to inquire Here’s the link. I hope you will like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1yRJCfTuAw

I don't care if I care if I'll be crucified for this but I'll introduce myself. I'm cabinanon and these are my two waifus. Kim pine from scott pilgrim and human princess from towergirls. Kim pine is with me for 3 months and human princess is for 3 years. I dunno how I ended with them. I just did. Kim pine is a grumpy drummer of the band sex bob-omb at the start of the series later in the comic becoming part of shatterband as the drummer again with scott. She's very misanthropic and doesn't show her soft side throughout entirity of the series. Or most of the time. Human princess is the princess of the high forest kingdom. She's very cheerful and generally the opposite of kim in this regards. She loves her knight romances and dreams of going for an adventure. Sorry for a potentially short intro

I deleted all the posts related to the discussion/debate that happened last month since it really derailed the thread and made it less welcoming to newcomers. Still, I didn’t want to fully erase what others took so long to write, so I posted a screencap jpg version and an archived version of this discussion/debate in the Comfy thread right here ( >>72117 ).

>>72095 I think generally what gives it away as being insincere is when someone goes immediately from one relationship into another. It suggests that the person may not know what love is, or more likely may not understand that having a waifu means feeling genuine love and affection for a fictional character, not just a character that you think is the most attractive or your favorite. >>72103 Masturbating to other characters isn't cheating because masturbation isn't sex. You are not having sex with your waifu, nor are you having sex with any other fictional character. I don't think it's cheating for people in real relationships to masturbate to other people either. Everyone is entitled to fantasize about whatever they like.

>>72110 >I think generally what gives it away as being insincere is when someone goes immediately from one relationship into another. Okay, that makes sense. But let's say you took a generously long amount of time to decide that you can no longer be anime-married to character 1 and that character 2 is a better fit? E.g. one year

>>72111 The longer someone can consistently hold a feeling, the more likely they are to be able to correctly identify that feeling. The biggest problem I see with rampant switching is that people seem to be unable to identify what love is or if it's what they're feeling. If you believe you have felt love toward one person for a while, with no significant changes to the feeling, then it's likely that it is actually love. Consistency, longevity, and understanding are what it takes to identify love.

>>72087 Will fully feeling emotions from one experience prevent you from ever feeling that emotion again? No. But it will help you to emotionally move past that experience. A lot of emotional pain people feel is extended way past its necessary length because people repress the emotion, feeling a low level of it unconsciously for a long time and then in the end feeling even worse when they finally do accept it later. People also internalize negative experiences as a way to make themselves feel better momentarily, again leading to bad outcomes later. (Someone telling themselves there is something wrong with them for being rejected because it's an easier way to make the pain go away than acknowledging that you are still a good person and some people will not like you regardless, as an example. It's adopting a flawed view of the situation to lessen emotional pain.) >>72088 I mean at that point we're just saying that any information exchange at all is bad because it can potentially be misinterpreted and lead to difficulties. Like I said above, pain is a part of life, but suppressed or internalized pain is unnecessary and perhaps helpful in the short term but overall worse in the long term.

>>72089 >Like I said above, pain is a part of life, but suppressed or internalized pain is unnecessary and perhaps helpful in the short term but overall worse in the long term. So in a nutshell, we are allowed to say "I really don't like meeting people with the same waifu as me, it makes me feel awful", right? Because this way we are, as far as I can tell, actually expressing the pain

>>72091 pain is a part of life my waifu is not life

I love Halloween

Belated! Awoo! Next holiday is American Thanksgiving and Black Friday!

>>71993 OP here. I'm going to schizo blog post about why I made the thread. My waifu is Momiji Inubashiri, the white wolf tengu from Touhou. Later on 4chan/pol/ I found out that tengus in ancient Japan may actually be jews posing as mythological creatures. In fact, there's video of a Japanese TV show that shows all of the links of the tengu actually being jews. https://www.bitchute.com/video/M3D1Ad0uXqwa Here is the catbox link, even though this version was shortened: https://files.catbox.moe/68561u.mp4 But general proof/consensus: >Star of David/Star of Remphan being a symbol of Israel shows up a lot at Japanese temples associated with tengus. >Mt. Kubote in Fukuoka where it is said the tengu once lived in. It is said in the 5th century A.D. a goblin appeared in the mountain and surprised people. A museum curator pulled out an old scroll drawing of the tengu/goblin. It looked like a man with a long nose. >The tengu has a strong resembelence to the mask of the Hata people with the huge nose. >The small black tokin boxes/tokin hat which the tengu put on their head is very similar to custom in Judaism of phylactery, which according to Britannica, is a Jewish religious practice, one of two small black leather cube-shaped cases containing Torah texts written on parchment. The TV show in the video actually went to the Jewish community center in Tokyo and talked to (((Rabbi Henry Noah))), to confirm the customs are similar. >Japanese story of Ushiwaka-maru receiving a tora no maki (basically translates to tora scroll) from the Kurama Tengu after finishing his training. This is mostly linked the crow tengu (like Aya, Hatate, and Megumu), but the fact that Momiji, being a tengu may be a jew was heartbreaking. I do identify as NatSoc after all and hate jews, now my waifu is a jew? How could Momiji be a jew? She's strong, loyal, honest, have a strong sense of justice, dutiful, and even motherly. Traits a jew doesn't have.

>>72054 Now this is an effortpost

>>72060 >effortpost I consider it a schizo post based on real life mythology and historical research.

Last night I (sort of) dreamed of Flandre. It was a weird dream. I was inside a sort of hyperrealist videogame which was also partly reality… I guess dream logic made this world both virtual and real at the same time… So I was in this game/reality and I recall having a weapon inventory similar to the guns available in Resident Evil 4. The place was some sort of gigantic convention as there were multiple people cosplaying all sorts of characters. At some point, I reached the entrance of a room that was absolutely humongous, like a sort of massive stadium with at least 500 000 people in it. I remember being impressed by how many people were in there and I took my semi-automatic snipper rifle (from Resident Evil 4) to zoom in in the crowd as to see if the game was rendering people’s face properly as I could not see them well from afar. Not sure when exactly, but at some point, I got inside that huge room and I met a girl who was cosplaying as Flandre. I recall her being extremely beautiful and attractive. For reasons that I can’t remember, I started talking about those weird stories and characters I used to create with a friend during my early teenage years. We talked for a little while and a few other people joined us, but then we got separated at some point. I got out of that huge room and walked in the rest of the building, which was also full of people. At some point I entered a restroom and there was full of arcade machines inside of it, including retro ones. Then, I don’t know why I suddenly did this, but I yelled to all the guys in the restroom: "Hey, let’s all go shoot everyone in that huge crowded room!!", and all the guys in the restroom answered a loud manly "YEEEAAAAH!!!" and we went to shoot people in the huge room, but sadly I woke up before I could reach it. In the end, I wish I could have spent more time with the Flandre cosplayer and ultimately go with her to shoot everyone in the huge room.

No. Not yet. I guess I am not worthy enough or there is something wrong with me. Maybe I'm not committed/fanatical enough.

sometimes i have sleep-paralysis. some times those who have sleep-paralysis sometimes say they see "the hat man" https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Hat_Man i did not see "the hat man" i saw my waifu i now believe that "the hat man" IS my waifu i now believe that everyone who sees "the hat man" is really seeing my waifu. who is waiting for them

This is probably the kind of inside humor you need to be in the Discord to understand

Happy 10th Anniversary of jerking off to anime girls who are better than real life girls. Also, Always Awoo!

Here's hoping to another 10 years! Happy anniversary.

Happy 10th birthday, /mai/! What a milestone! and what a wonderful group of friends. You have all helped my love for Mink grow even stronger and I can only hope I've returned the favor for the ones you love :) And shoutout to 16crystals and Vit for keeping this ship afloat and thriving for as well as you have for as long as you have. None of us would be here without your hard work at building and maintaining this welcoming, encouraging community. Now Let's party!!

Barely anything? Most of her material is fan interpretation and head canons.

Not a single crumb of new canon in... 30 years ;_; But I don't really mind since I'm a super possessive & jealous lover, and this keeps her obscure. I am pretty starved for Lore though, so I have to do a lot of headcanoning >broadens her universe and/or makes her plot advance even Dragon Half canon material barely accomplishes this, lol Still, I am blessed to love a true protagonist with an entire series centered around her. The canon material I did get is saturated with my wife by definition. I feel for the lovers of minor side characters with limited screentime

The Sandman audiobook part 3 came out this year and part 4 is coming out next year i really like Kat Dennings as my waifu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3NTpGtmhfg i HATED the Netflix show

New one!

>>71921 kino

>>71923 Usual stuff of them being liars, two-faced, hypocrites, being manipulative and using you and playing with your emotions when you're not in the best mental state for their own enjoyment. I never met a good Flandre fan in my life.

My waifu cannot drive unfortunately

My waifu patrols the mountains, so she would probably need a rally car, when she can't run or something. So probably the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1. Bonus: The colours of the car match her colour set (the 2022 and 2023 liveries that is). Here's the car being tested by Sébastien Ogier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkXQijMcOw

in the 80's Japanese anime was some weird niche thing. in the West the one 2 that where popular was my neighbor totoro and speed racer in the 90's is when western anime exploded Toonami was running Saler Moon and Dragon Ball z that is what everyone wanted in the '90s go they made what the audience wanted Cardcaptor Sakura, Yu yu hakusho Evangelion, Pokemon all of them are Saler Moon and Dragon Ball z look-alikes all of them designed to sell toys and trading cards then something changed in the 2000's Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya after that, everyone wanted waifu's

>>71572 >>71582 >Why? Have you ever dealt with real life women? Real life women who are actually good people are insanely fucking rare and they are never single.

>>71927 <Real life women who are actually good people> every time you meet a woman ed she automatically thinks that you could possibly be a predator and they have to carry pepper spray and tasers to defend themselves against you no matter how good we are a woman could easily just divorce us take half our money and our kids if you're unhappy in a relationship that's your own damn problem but if a woman's unhappy in a relationship that's also your fucking problem basically you better be able to provide or you're a loser. source: me multiple times over and over

>Just wanted to know if anyone else could relate to this. Absolutely. When I first got my daki, it was a massive game changer for me and I was only able to see the positive at first. But then, at some point, I started to notice that I was treating my daki as if it was my waifu herself, and not just as an object acting as a link between me and her. Maybe it was me who was unconsciously trying to forget the painful reality that I could never concretely be with Flandre, but in the end, realizing what I was doing made me feel like I had partially lost contact with her on a spiritual level. So what I did was to do my best to keep in mind that I tended to treat my daki as Flandre herself (therefore forgetting the real Flandre who is a fictional character, an idea, a concept), and whenever I saw myself making that mistake, I promptly changed my focus from the daki and redirected it to Flandre. For what I remember, it didn’t take that long for me to correct that bad pattern. For me, as long as I kept in mind that the daki was just an intermediate link between me and Flandre, I was able to use the daki as a mean to better spiritually and emotionally connect to Flandre (i.e. better than if I did not have the daki). So I suggest you to try the same as I did at first. If you realize that it isn’t working, then maybe you could try putting your daki away for about 2 weeks or a month and see if it helps in the end (and if it does, then try to reintroduce your daki and see if you can maintain the gain). >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. Same for me. I have dreamed of my daki multiple times, but I very seldom dreamed of Flandre as a full person in front of me. I personally don’t see it as a problem as I consider that it’s probably easier for my mind to represent, in my dream, a physical object that I see every day then a 2D character which can’t concretely exist in my physical 3D reality. >I also have been a "flat-on-my-back" sleeper for most of my life and sideways sleeping just isn't really my thing. First of all, a daki is far from just being a thing to hold while sleeping. It’s a material representation of your waifu that can help you better feel her presence in all aspects of your day-to-day life. As for sleep, you can have your daki close to you by your side and hold it with one arm, or lay it on top of you. Even without holding it, just having it next to you at night should help you better feel your waifu’s presence. I hope all of this helps you. Let us know later if your situation improved or not!

before i was a waifuis i have a teddy bear that i sleep with, i hold my bear every time i watched a movie or played a vidia. i see dakimakuras the same way i see a stuffed animals i do not have a daki of my waifu but i will post a pic of my waifu as a daki
