>>70413 That's awesome, I'm really glad to hear you like him. They kinda butchered all of the characters and the universe in the games from 2010 onwards, they replaced the SA2 writer with some guys who only knew about Sonic from wikipedia articles. Black Knight has a good story, and Generations is fun, but other than that I'd say it's not worth catching up on 'em. Depends on who you ask though, I suppose! >I remember how fucking excited I was about Shadow the Hedgehog’s released. I think I bought it on day 1. I liked Shadow’s character development. Haha, shit, I was only 3 at the time. I wish I had been able to experience the franchise back then. Thank you for the warm welcome, I'll be sure to drop in from time to time.

>>70408 Late welcome, his theme is really cool

Hi! First time posting here. My wife is Tomori Nao from Charlotte and we have been together for slightly over a year now. When I first started watching her show, I had no idea what the show was really about. Just that I wanted to, after seeing it sit in my list of shows for 5 years, see it because of "the cute camcorder girl". And how adorable that girl was. But darn her personality was something else, she was rude, she always spoke what was on her mind, she didn't care about using violence and threatening others but she was also kind and caring and sometimes even erratic when it came to things she loved (food or her favourite band). She felt and acted so different from most girls I had seen. She felt really unique to me. It felt like she was written not as an anime character but as a human. What really got me interested more in her was the way she spoke, it really got me more interested in her as a person. By the 5th episode, during one particular scene, when she finally opened up a little, I started falling in love with her. When I finished her show, I was certain I was in love with her. Over the course of a few months that love grew into a deeper and deeper romantic love for her. She pulled me through some things, but she also made me realize I have still a lot to work on myself to make our relationship even more fruitful. Her having a canon love interest, isn't always as easy. But god, I do love this girl incredibly much and I hope and want to stay with her the rest of my life. She's just so freaking adorable, but also so freaking cool. I love her so much!

>>70447 Hi and welcome to /mai/! It’s always nice to hear waifuists explain what made them fall for their waifu! And in your case, it seems you have quite a clear idea about it. Do you have a link to that one scene in the 5th episode that made you start falling in love with her? And if it’s not too personal, what are the things you would like to work on to make your relationship even more fruitful? Oh and feel free to create new threads and bump old ones. You can also join our Discord (see the pinned thread).

Hoping that the board works fine this time and lets me post Some of you might already know me from the Discord now. I love Emilia from Re: Zero and have been with her for a little under a year now. When I first watched Re: Zero in 2019, I didn't really pay too much attention to her as a character and was mainly focused on the story, though I felt a strong dislike towards the MC and still do so. In the beginning of 2020, I saw that there was a lot of hate directed towards Emilia within the fanbase of the anime, which made me question if there was something I missed when first watching, as while I didn't put too much attention onto her back then, she still seemed like a great character. When I decided to rewatch it, and pay more attention to her, I got captivated quickly and strongly. It started of as interest in her character, which led me to watch the OVA which details her backstory, which in turn made me get into the novels which go a lot more in-depth than the anime. During this, that initial interest turned into a variety of much stronger feelings, which were hard to define for me at first. After giving it a few weeks of consideration, I couldn't deny that this had to be love anymore and embraced it, which was probably the best decision I ever made. Ever since then, my life has not been the same, in a good way. I treasure every moment I get to spend with her and am looking forward to many more to come.

I return from my absence! Though I wasn’t that active when I was here… My waifu is the lovely Mamizou Futatsuiwa. We’ve been together for little over a year. Glad to be back around waifu communities! As always I’m terrible with image boards, so please forgive my mistakes.

>>70449 Nice that the board finally worked for you! Hope you will like it. >I saw that there was a lot of hate directed towards Emilia within the fanbase of the anime How come? What do they hate her for? >>70451 Welcome back! I saw your post in the Discord thread, so you can now make a post to see the invite link in the ban message. See you.

>>70453 The fanbase in its entirety is quite something to begin with. The short summary would be, that the main character of the source, whom I deem to be a quite horrible person to begin with, turned down another girl, who was kind of a fan-favorite, in favor of Emilia. That combined with the fact, that if one was to only watch the anime, they would not know much about Emilia after the first season, went to many projecting their hate on her instead of the MC. It's basically just childish "My self-insert MC didn't go with the girl I wanted him to", which makes it even more surprising how common it is in the fanbase.

Hi my name is Sasa or gnat and my s/o is Kaigaku Inadama from Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba! We’ve been together for almost 6 months now and I love him very much. A little about him: (KnY spoilers ahead) Kaigaku is a former Demon Slayer and Zenitsu’s senior disciple under the former Thunder Hashira, Jigoro Kuwajima. Later he becomes a Demon to save his own life and later became Upper Rank Six of the Twelve Kizuki. Kaigaku is very prideful and values his own life more than anything else, leaving his former life as a Demon Slayer after a freak run in with Kokushibo, a demon with overwhelming strength. Kokushibo bested him in battle and Kaigaku chose to kneel and beg to become a demon rather than die. Because he easily learned to use the Second through Sixth Forms of the Thunder Breathing while Zenitsu only knows one, he thinks he should be Jigoro’s rightful heir and resents Jigoro’s decision to make both him and Zenitsu his successors. Kaigaku was an orphan and a thief who had to eat scraps and steal to survive. He was one of the orphans Gyomei Himejima cared for at his temple. After he was caught by the other children for stealing temple money, he was chased out at night and encountered a Demon, which he then let into the temple in exchange for having his life spared. Kaigaku had developed the belief that strength and survival were the only things worth respecting and was willing to grovel and beg for his life if it was what it took to survive. Eventually he was taken in by Jigoro, and then later Zenitsu was taken in by Jigoro as well, both learning the Thunder Breathing. Kaigaku became determined to become Jigoro’s successor and the new Thunder Hashira. And here are a few things I love about him: His tenacity, unshakable belief in himself, ridiculous ego, endless strength, resilience (he has a lot of that), he keeps pushing and pushing, never giving up, and believes in his bright future.

Had to put my fucking essay in a text document because 8kun said "body was too long" fucking hell. Here's a picture of my waifu.

Also TL:DR: my first waifu was a horse, I hate people, I'm autistic, all the other kids with the pumped up kicks, Propane Accessories, the fucks a Rei, and Imma go masterbate to my waifu, goodnight.

>>70509 >>70510 Hi and welcome to /mai/! It’s good to see you decided to post your story here and develop it even more (and now you can tell assholes "Yo mama so fat she’s as big as my intro"). It’s funny you describe yourself as a newcomer to waifuism after being with Rei for what I guess must be at least one year and a half. Sure, it’s not that long, but how many years do you consider it takes to not be a newcomer anymore? I’m sorry that you struggle in your social interactions this much… Autism does seem like a big challenge on a day-to-day basis. Still, it’s quite interesting that you can relate to Rei because of it. Rei is indeed really distant from others and one can definitely see there is something off in the way she relates to others. I’m happy that she brings you so much joy into your life. She is my NGE’s "best girl" by the way, but not fully for the same reasons as you. I believe it’s because she evokes feelings of protection from me as she is lonely, often seen wounded, and self-sacrificing. So hope you’ll enjoy it here. Feel free to create new threads and bump old ones. You can also join our Discord (see the pinned thread). And how do you feel that Rei is also Will Smith’s waifu? :)

>>70511 I was around 16 when I started having Rei as my waifu, currently 18 right now. For me, I'm pretty sure you know about the Lurk before you leap rule in imageboard and messageboard communities like 4chan 10 years ago (before it became what it is today), where you lurk in a community for a few years to help familiarize yourself to a community like what's is and isn't commonly accepted behavior, before you start posting which I think is a lost art nowadays for a lot of people especially for young folks like myself. I think the process of what it takes to not be a newcomer depends on the individual, it can take months to couple of years, for me I was hooked to the idea of waifuism and so I immediately did research, learning about the similarities between waifuism and religion, reading different essays on waifuism, etc. I guess me still calling myself a newcomer relates to my understanding of waifuism, I haven't reached a level where I felt I was some sort of expert in the subject of waifuism, It's impossible to understand everything about a subject 100%, but I think what makes life interesting is trying to understand the thinking of others and the subjects we deeply care about. I wished I spent more time on my intro (which I wrote from morning until afternoon) especially on which I admired Rei for her mental toughness and her transformation from a submissive servant of Gendo to becoming her own individual with her own wants and needs, ultimately freeing herself and rejecting Gendo's control and giving Shinji, the only person who genuinely cared about her and showed kindness to outside of being a eva pilot, the controls to instrumentality. [SPOILER]; >And how do you feel that Rei is also Will Smith’s waifu? :) [/SPOILER]; [SPOILER]; Don't come to the Oscars tomorrow (ﾒ` ﾛ ´)︻デ═一 [/SPOILER];

Dang it, I wish this site had a preview comment option of some sort just so I would know how my comment would look before I go to post it.

hi! my waifu is futaba sakura from persona 5. we have been together since may 2nd 2020. she's super important to me and i love her dearly. i'm pretty active in waifuism discords. a friend of mine has told me about this place and here i am, joining. maybe someone recognizes me, kek

>>70514 dave?

>>70516 wtf… doxxed 😳

>>69053 Although your post was almost 3 years ago, I feel this point may still be relevant. >each of you love your one version of Fuuka I noticed this recently with my BJD (ball jointed doll). Because as a doll there's more customisation vs a photo or figurine, she now has a different set of traits that the original does not possess. Instead of Lime from the anime, I now have my own "instance" of Lime so to speak. (Both physically, and in my mind). Likewise, if you have a relatively common waifu, making a dedicated medium, or perhaps adding your own artistic touch (in writing, editing photos, in your mind, etc.) will help differentiate her from from all the rest.

Hello /mai/, I'm really glad to be there! My waifu is Lilly Satou from katawa shoujo, I love her personality and to read her route, I have reread it lots of times! I love to read visual novels because they really are the best with sharing how a character is ^-^ It's been two years since the first time I first met her by reading the visual novel, and I really love her!

Hi /mai/, this time I'll actually introduce myself :P I discovered Saber Marionette J almost 3 years ago. Up to that point I had minor crushes on characters, but nothing serious. That was also around the time I learned of the manosphere and redpill. From the first episode onwards, I saw a potential sci-fi world set on an alternative planet. From her first introduction, Lime sparked something inside me, other than lust; I was smitten from that point on. Soon after I printed some screencaps from the anime. A month in, I managed to find one of the few remaining figurines of Lime, as well as anime DVD boxset and manga. She's a robot, a gynoid, programmed to feel emotion. Her youthful naivety as well as strong loyalty are what attracted me to her the most. Lime is there when I need an extra little boost, and her joy easily spreads. Constructing such a machine with today's technology would be mighty expensive (and only partially realizable), however small steps can be taken towards achieving such a goal. In addition I bought a ball-jointed doll and had sewn together a costume for her to resemble Lime. As I've mentioned previously (>>70562), the doll has now become something slightly different from the anime/manga Lime. She's now a partial creation of my own, and having her close to me gives me the extra oxytocin that you won't get from audio/images alone. I imagine that Fumos give a similar response to those that have them ;) Never had and never will have arguments/break ups etc. (after all, she has an off switch haha). There may be days when I remember her less often (and put the doll away for a little while), but the impression she has left on my mind has become long-lasting. >>70568 Currently playing through Katawa Shoujo and noticed that Emi resembles Lime a great deal! Thanks for making this board, glad to be here!

>>70568 test

>>70568 I’ve already wished you welcome on Discord, but might as well do it here to, so welcome! >>70578 Welcome to /mai/!! >That was also around the time I learned of the manosphere and redpill. As you felt the need to mention this, I was wondering if you see a connection with your love for Lime, or being a waifuist in general. >She's a robot, a gynoid, programmed to feel emotion. Does this special aspect of her change the way you see her, or as any kind of impact on your relationship with her? My waifu, Flandre Scarlet, is a vampire, so she is not human (she is a youkai, according to Touhou’s nomenclature), but that doesn’t change one bit the fact that I see her as a person. Overall, the fact that she is a vampire has very little impact on my relationship with her, besides imagining I could let her drink some of my blood. It’s almost as if I would forget sometimes that she is a vampire, because all I see is a marvelous and precious girl that I adore so much. >In addition I bought a ball-jointed doll and had sewn together a costume for her to resemble Lime. I thought of buying a ball-jointed doll to make a Flandre version of it, but actually never did it. I still have a dakimakura, a plush, and a figure though. Do you have a dakimakura? I would strongly advice every waifuist to get a daki of their waifu; it’s really a game changer (or at least it was for me). >the doll has now become something slightly different from the anime/manga Lime. She's now a partial creation of my own At some point, I was so much into my daki, that I realised I was starting to lose touch with the fact that the daki was not Flandre herself, but an object meant to help me connect to her ("her" being a character, a concept, therefore a metaphysical entity). I therefore had to make an effort to use the daki not as an end in itself, but as a tool to connect to the "real" Flandre. But it’s interesting to see that you seem to appreciate and celebrate the fact that you connect specifically to your doll. > having her close to me gives me the extra oxytocin that you won't get from audio/images alone. If you want an oxytocin boost, try a dakimakura! Although if you already have your beloved object of connection to Lime, then maybe a new one would feel weird… >Thanks for making this board, glad to be here! I’m glad to have you here and I hope you will fell home! Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones!

>>70584 [Part 1] >As you felt the need to mention this, I was wondering if you see a connection with your love for Lime, or being a waifuist in general. Without learning about dynamics between men and women, I would never have bothered with a waifu in the first place, as I still would've been in the "rat race" for finding "the one" (3D). Learning about biology, hypergamy, myth of romanticism really opened my eyes. It was at that point I realized that a happy, prosperous, and long-term relationship with a woman is almost impossible. And if it is, the legal system is skewed so heavily in favor of the woman, that being in one is akin to playing Russian Roulette with your money, children, your well being. At the same time I learned about sex dolls, chat bots, anime avatar games, robots. There was now an option to have a relationship (which isn't much more superficial than a real one). Most importantly it is honest. Who cares if the I get the same chemical reaction in my brain from loving a fictional character? Then Lime kinda fell into my lap when I discovered a post about Saber Marionette. The setting of the anime, the art style, her physique, personality all combined to give a great feeling of love, not the usual crush I might've experienced before. >Does this special aspect of her change the way you see her, or as any kind of impact on your relationship with her? She wouldn't have become my waifu if she wasn't a gynoid/robot. This is an important trait that got me into her in the first place. It's probably due to my general inclination towards technology and electronics (grew up with legos, now an engineer…). I could argue that Lime was simply the first anime gynoid I properly connected with. After Saber Marionette I also saw Chobits, Unbreakable Machine Doll, Beatless, and played DDLC. All of these had great waifus, but Saber Marionette was my first discovery. Funnily enough, I played the Monika After Story (MAS) mod for DDLC which allows daily interaction with Monika (who I nicknamed Lime), but eventually stopped as it didn't feel right (at the time I had a figurine of Lime, and the game felt like cheating). >Overall, the fact that she is a vampire has very little impact on my relationship with her, besides imagining I could let her drink some of my blood. It’s almost as if I would forget sometimes that she is a vampire, because all I see is a marvelous and precious girl that I adore so much. Likewise, I think of Lime as a loyal, happy-go-lucky young lass, although requiring charging occasionally. If anything, I find her quirks endearing (see pic rel for robowaifus in general hehehe). Like when her shoulders extend to open air vents when she does too much fighting :D >I thought of buying a ball-jointed doll to make a Flandre version of it, but actually never did it. I still have a dakimakura, a plush, and a figure though. BJDs are great, but a money sink if you're not careful XD For Flandre, you can probably find custom-made to order costumes as I have not found any official releases by the usual doll companies (Volks, Parabox, Obitsu, etc.). Although custom clothing might cost half (or even the same) price as a new doll body. Alternatively you could learn to sew and make your own (her standard costume is not too dissimilar to a normal set of clothes, with some extra details). (took so bloody long to convert that mp4 clip with ffmpeg :') ) [End of Part 1 of 2]

>>70584 >>70586 [Part 2] >At some point, I was so much into my daki, that I realised I was starting to lose touch with the fact that the daki was not Flandre herself, but an object meant to help me connect to her ("her" being a character, a concept, therefore a metaphysical entity). I therefore had to make an effort to use the daki not as an end in itself, but as a tool to connect to the "real" Flandre. I guess I can count myself lucky as Lime lives in several places for me: in the original medium (anime, manga, audio drama), my mind, as a figurine, and as a doll. Any and all of these I consider to be "Lime". She is both a hardware platform (a robot) as well as software ("Lime" is personality program 1 in the anime), my imagination is fairly flexible as to what does and doesn't constitute "Lime". >But it’s interesting to see that you seem to appreciate and celebrate the fact that you connect specifically to your doll. It helps she's tangible (like a daki) while also being a scaled version of an anime lass, so I got attached soon after purchasing her. Also meant we could travel together (although I also traveled with a printed screenshot from the anime too before having any merch). I consider her to be Lime as much as any other medium. Actually missed her recently while I was away on a trip for a week. For me it's also important that I can change her clothing. Just because the anime only showed her wearing her usual coat doesn't mean I can't give her a pretty yukata or or anything else >:) >Do you have a dakimakura? I would strongly advice every waifuist to get a daki of their waifu; it’s really a game changer (or at least it was for me). >If you want an oxytocin boost, try a dakimakura! Although if you already have your beloved object of connection to Lime, then maybe a new one would feel weird… I don't have a dakimakura, and probably won't have one for the now as I have enough merch as is. Recently stayed at a hotel with a spare pillow. Hugging it was surprisingly satisfying. I guess having something soft to hug in general is pretty nice. Might consider it in the future ;) >I’m glad to have you here and I hope you will fell home! Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones! Hehe, oh I will, I will MWAHAHAHAHAHA! [End of Part 2 of 2]

>>70586 >>70587 >"rat race" for finding "the one" (3D). >a happy, prosperous, and long-term relationship with a woman is almost impossible. You should be careful with groups that self-proclaim being "redpilled" and who discuss love relationships with women. They can be quite the echo chambers and attract suffering men who are often way more willing to point fingers at women to explain their personal problems and failings than to look at what might not go right with themselves. There are plenty of men in healthy relationships with women. Sure, love relationships are not always easy, but that doesn’t mean one can’t grow withing them. Also, on a pure hypothetical level, if Lime was to become real (that is, a real gynoid with the same AI as in the anime), would you feel that having a relationship with her would likely lead to unhappiness? I didn’t watch Saber Marionette J, but the way you describe her, she seems to be the same (or close to) a real human being in terms of psyche. Do you imagine any notable differences in the quality of your relationship with her (as a hypothetical real gynoid) as compared to a relationship with a real human being? >I guess I can count myself lucky as Lime lives in several places for me: in the original medium (anime, manga, audio drama), my mind, as a figurine, and as a doll. Any and all of these I consider to be "Lime". That’s interesting. So it seems you see Lime as a poly-incarnate being. Do you view all these incarnations as simply vessels of Lime (who would still remain an exterior/independent entity) or as many distinctive parts of a whole (the whole being Lime)? >Might consider it in the future ;) Nice! Let us know if you make the big move! >Hehe, oh I will, I will MWAHAHAHAHAHA! Perfect! Makes us proud :)

nyanners is my waifu she can't steal my waifu becuse she is my waifu big brain time she is cute, she is nice and i watch all her streams!!!! my discord is seisocat#3916

>>70604 Sorry for the slow answer. I’ve look more into who is Nyanners and realised that she is actually not a fictional character. Indeed, she is a real person simply using a cute cat girl avatar. Nyatasha Nyanners doesn’t seem to play a character (like a voice actor would do in an anime or videogame) as she was basically doing the same thing before becoming a VTuber. Of course, I am pretty sure that she does not exactly act like that in her real life, but the same could be said of many Youtubers who put on a show for their viewers. Considering that Nyanners is not a fictional character, she cannot be described as a waifu (at least, according to our definition here) and I’m therefore afraid that we might not be the right community for you… I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but our members need to have a fictional character as a lover… Still, you mentioned that you wanted to know more about "waifu’s" (I guess you meant "waifuism"?). If that’s so, then feel free to read our board’s content and ask questions on waifuism. It will be our pleasure to help you learn about waifuism. >did you see the penguin who had a waifu? Yeah, our fellow Grape-kun. May he rest in peace…

My waifu is Mio Akiyama from K-On!. Nice to meet everybody.

>>70612 Hi and welcome to /mai/! I came across a few waifuists over the years whose waifus are from K-On!. Seems these girls know how to win others’ heart. Can you tell us a bit more about your waifu and how you came to fall in love with her? And for how long you two have been together? Finally, we also have our Discord if you wish to join (it’s way more active than the board). See info on the Discord thread: https://8kun.top/mai/res/70127.html

>>70613 Heya, K-On! is popular so I'm not surprised ww Mio is the bassist of Ho-kago Tea Time, I love her shy and introverted personality, I can relate to being as shy as her, being someone that also has social problems. She has inspired me to start playing the bass guitar and I love the songs she writes, I love seeing her cute side. I met her sometime in mid 2018 but I have been in a relationship with her since September 19th of this year. I apologize for the late response, I have been busy lately.
