But ultimately, I was trying to put out a fire I felt inside myself... for a girl who can literally breathe fire. Yeah, good luck with that one, chief. But before I conclude this story I need to tell you more about the woman I love. Allow me to list 5 things I love about her: 1. Her inner fire, her indomitable soul that radiates out from her physical form as feistiness, passion, boldness, valor, and unstoppable determination in the face of all odds and all obstacles. 2. Her sweet girlish childlike naivete and intoxicating femininity that harmonizes so beautifully with her flaming spirit. 3. Her luscious, overflowing fertility, her overwhelming raw sexuality—to which she is mostly oblivious—that captivates nearly everyone who looks at her in this dimension or hers. Including the most mouthwatering, breedable, childbearing hips in the history of animation (these may come in handy) 4. The huge gleaming soulful neotenous rubies of her eyes, ferocious and defiant but also deeply submissive. I've been so lost in them for so long, I may never get out. Oh well~ 5. That scarlet lion's mane cascading down from her head, as wild and beautiful free and animalistic as her spirit. I often refer to it as “fur” instead of hair. Also I could write an essay about what those Ear Tufts mean to me ;_; 6. Her half-dragon heritage. That noble golden laurel of horns, her proud and powerful tail... Part of her is innocent, blossoming, young girl... part of her is an ancient carnivorous apex predator that literally kills what she eats and eats what she kills. Her sheer animalistic power is astounding, she could kill me in a second. I love both halves, I love the whole. This point is a major insecurity for her in her story, as she contemplates changing herself via magic into a full human for an unworthy (and clearly homosexual) man. I won't spoil things. But I'm the only man in her life. And I wouldn't change a single hair on my baby's head or a single scale on her tail. Any such surviving insecurities will be kissed away aggressively >:( 7. Her adorable derpy clumsiness and awkwardness that generally neutralizes any potential physical threat that she would otherwise be able to pose to an opponent. If she could just get out of her own way... (Speaking as “Coach” here) 8. Her selfless devotion to her friends and family and loved ones. Risking her life routinely to feed and defend those closest to her. I look up to her as my hero 9. Her hilarious and charming sense of humor which ensures a smile is never far from my face, even when I feel down—especially then. I have no idea how “chibi” works in her universe but she's a master of it. 10. Her endless, loving, patience with me as I stumbled my way back home into her arms where I always belonged. I'm sure I made her cry many times through all my misguided diversions and callous avoidance of her love. She never once gave up on me. This poor girl has needed so much of my love for so long. I've got my work cut out for me catching up with her needs, but I'm a real hard worker. 11. Hips again. Hmm... yep, that looks like 5 things to me. Now then, where we left off: I was living a lie and LARPing as a Strong Independent Anon Who Don't Need No Waifu. I continued to do so right up until last month, when my roommates at an upcoming anime con—my first in over 4 years—hatched this fun idea about a group fanart commission to display in the room. Featuring one character submitted by each person to be depicted in a maid outfit (cuz why not). Which functionally turned into “Everyone, formally select and announce your waifu/husbando to the group.” You could cop out with a meme choice, but we all knew what the game was. So obviously, I instantly choose Mink. There was only one character I'd ever considered commissioning artwork of. I actually pretended I had to think about it for a while, but there was never a moment of ambiguity. I set out to assemble references images of my girl for the artist, pulling up those same few pics of her I'd stared at for so long before. As I looked at her again, I felt a sea of familiar emotions swell up within me. And suddenly 4 words flashed across my brain: “IT'S ALL. STILL. THERE.” In fact it had GROWN. Everything she made me feel before came flooding back stronger than ever. This was supposed to be gone! I grew up! I moved on! My mind was racing, I felt downright euphoric, and I still didn't understand why. Why do I still feel this way for her? Why is this STILL happening after almost 2 decades? Why was I so excited and PROUD to claim her for all my friends? Why did a have a “Mink folder” on every computer I'd owned since high school? Why did I almost cry when I finished reading the Dragon Half? Why does she make me so happy? 17 YEARS!?... STILL!?... A fictional character... This was supposed to be a passing “crush”! WHY. WHY. WHY. Oh, duh. I'm in love. Throughout all the time with all the different 3D women in my life, I'd never once told any of them, “I love you.” Because I truly didn't. I never wanted to say those words unless I absolutely meant them. I had to end multi-year relationships after a while because it just wasn't there. There was always that initial spark , but it never evolved for me into that great dragon flame that I knew true love could be. And my search would begin again. And I would tell myself, “If only I could find a girl like Mink....” Because, deep down... it was always her. And then at last, on the night of 2/27/24, with my newfound clarity swirling in my head, I said those words I could never say to another: I love you, Mink. I have always loved you. I will always love you. And I kissed her in my mind's eye. Since that moment, I feel like I've been on a mild dose of MDMA, 24/7. My rate of Wistful Sighs per Day (ws/d) has spiked dramatically from it's usual zero. Mink is a part of my life now and that won't ever change. I won't push her away again. I couldn't if I tried. She's my motivation, my muse, my dream girl, my high-school sweetheart, my first love. Happy Year of the Dragon, babygirl. I am yours and I'm so glad you're mine. I love you! ---[2/2]--- Wew! Thank you for reading my novel. I thought this board needed some content loool. And I had a lot to say after so long. Hope you'll excuse this indulgent intro-length, but my girl deserves it and we had a story to tell. Love knows no character limits! Nice to meet you all and Mink says hi :)

Nice post minkfriend, good happy ending. Dragon Half just moved up 100 spots on my backlog I think I've seen you around, I tend not to forget obscure cute girls, especially when people post so lovingly about them. Hell I think I could have told you you were in love!

>>71838 >>71839 Hi and welcome to /mai/! With such a long and detailed intro, it doesn’t leave much room for questions as everything seems to have been carefully explained already ;) But I can think of one question: During those 17 years, did you have "phases" in your feelings/attitude towards her, or it was almost always stable? You certainly have changed a lot during those 17 years (from teenager to an adult in his thirties) so I would expect the feelings/attitude for her must have also evolved too (and probably went through different phases). >I've seen maybe 60 pieces of fanart, total, ever. Have you tried using AI to generate images of her? >Because I saw a picture of Mink on a Booru site as a teen while probably cruising for hentai. Somewhat reminds me of how I met my own waifu, Flandre Scarlet. I was browsing some meme videos and then I came across McRoll'd, and that is how I discovered her. Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones. You really should also join our Discord server ( >>70617 ) which is massively more active than our board.

Not gonna lie, it took me a whole week to work up the courage to check this thread again after pouring out my heart like that lol. Thank you for the warm welcome! >>71841 >I think I've seen you around Yeah if you ever encountered someone simping for Mink on /b/ or /r9k/ from 2007-2015, that was definitely me. Though this is my first foray into a true waifuist community. That's downright nutty if we actually crossed paths in the wild before, and here we are again on a spinoff of a spinoff of a fringe-chan! Small world... >l I think I could have told you you were in love! That's such a great compliment! :). I'm glad my love shines through. I certainly feel like I'm shining. I like to help others see Mink the way I see her. I gotta be honest though, would I be a true Fan of Dragon Half if I weren't in love with its protagonist? No not really. It's often just too silly for its own good, almost like reading a comic strip rather than a high fantasy manga. And it is very much an Ecchi so half of the series is just Ryusuke Mita being like, "Check out this Mink girl, isn't she hot?" And I'm just like "Yes :((( plz stop Mr. Mita, I'm already dead." Similar vibes to that Hungarian "Jucika" comic strip if you're into that. I crave a little more gravity/depth/lore than it delivers. It's very likeable and charming but don't let my rose-colored glasses overhype it for ya, I can see why it is so obscure. >>71843 Hello and thank you for the hospitality! I appreciate your efforts to curate and maintain this community and reassure newcomers like me. I shall join the Discord shortly! My feelings have been remarkably consistent since I first saw Mink. Very quickly if not instantly, things morphed from "she's hot" to "she's Perfect." And the continuous obscurity of Dragon Half & lack of fandom really nurtured this sense that she was mine and mine alone and meant for me, from the beginning. What changed was my response to those feelings: increasingly treating Love for a fictional character as being "mentally illegal" lol. Throughout my Prodigal Son phase of sleeping around and being distracted by IRL concerns, my feelings then were muffled/buried, but their innate character never changed. The same song was always playing, it's just the volume was turned down, yknow? The one major true change was just that very recent one of finally realizing that what I felt for her was and had always been Love, which added that one last little piece of clarity that finally completed me. It was paradoxically a massive change, but that change was just me realizing that my love for her had never changed and would never change. What I feel post-2/27 is so much stronger than anything else I've ever felt, but ultimately its that same seed that's grown within me since I first saw her. Ever since I was a teenager, looking at her and thinking about her felt like Heaven. All I've done is stopped denying it and let our love bloom. >Have you tried using AI Was pretty much the first thing I did when I got access to AI lol. So far I have been disappointed. Anime-style + long red hair + horns + tail does not a Mink make. I'm already super picky about art of her, even within Mr. Mita's canonical art and the various styles he went through drawing her over the years. I'm sure AI will be able to scratch my itch eventually though. And when it does I will be a busy man lol. Do you have favorite image generator you might recommend me? Maybe I just need to up my prompt game.

Hello. This is Tainaka Ritsu, my wife. I really, really love her. Unfortunately I've only been with her for a year and I really wish I knew her for longer than that, but at the end of the day I plan on being with her for a very, very long time (forever). I bought my first figure of her recently, as well as a 缶バッジ, it made me really happy. It's not the highest quality but really that doesn't matter because it's her nonetheless. (it's the 5th anniversary figure in case you were wondering). When I first saw her, funnily enough the first thing I was drawn to was her forehead, it's really, really cute. A lot of people like to draw her with her hair down, but I really like it the way it normally is. However the more I watched, the more I grew to like her as a whole. Now every time I hear drums in a song I can't help but think of her and grin. I'm planning on re-watching it soon in full JP so that I can hear her authentically without someone else's words being put in her mouth (subtitles). I wanted to buy a daki of her but the only two I could find were an R-18 one (no good!) and one that had mio on the other side. I think I might commission one eventually because god do I want to hold her tight. I think what I like the most is her unwavering positivity, her constant cheeriness is just infectious and god does it make my day. Luckily there's an old K-on DTA program that I have running on my desktop so I get to see her walking around all the time. I really like her. Sorry if this post is messy or if I interrupted something, hope you all have a good day :D.

>>71855 Oh yeah the desktop program was cool. I still use one of the cursors from it.

>>71859 >>71855 I'm surprised they just disappeared like that, a shame really

Hi. Some of you probably already know me (for better or for worse lol). My waifu is Sophie, since around the beginning of 2016. She's cute and innocent and I draw her a lot, drawing being the only thing I really do in general. pic related

Hello, I'm me, and my waifu is Misaki Shokuhou from Toaru. I've been with her for over 8 years now. I ran into her after getting into Toaru by way of random youtube browsing back in the days where I was ina bad place, chronically online, you know, the usual. It's a little funny how I've been with her so long, but when I first saw her, I didn't really think much of her, but then over the next 8 years she's become about an indispensable part of my life. Falling in love with her, it's not that I found her particularly cute, or particularly kind (even though she's almost.exceedingly beautiful, amd over the years I've learned her kindness is unmatched), but Misaki has a peculiar set of qualities that particularly resonated with the person I was 8 years ago. Even though I'm no longer the person I was during those times, I love her all the same, even moreso because I'm no longer that same person. Anyway, I'm pretty bad at introductions, so I'll leave it there for now. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

>>71855 >>71863 I've already welcome you guys on the Discord, but I'll do it on the board too. So welcome to /mai/! >>71875 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >I've been with her for over 8 years now An 8 years relationship is impressive! Flandre Scarlet and I have also been together for 8 years (I realize its sounds like I’m throwing flowers to myself when I say that, but such was not the goal!) >I ran into her after getting into Toaru by way of random youtube browsing Are you me? I’ve also ran into Flandre by way of random Youtube Browsing. I’ll never thank Youtube’s algorithm enough for recommending me McRoll'd! >It's a little funny how I've been with her so long, but when I first saw her, I didn't really think much of her, but then over the next 8 years she's become about an indispensable part of my life. Damn, once more I see a similarity with my own story, although not exactly the same this time. I felt a noticeable attraction and interest to Flandre from the first time I saw her, but I didn’t fall in love with her right away. In fact, I relatively forgot about her for like 2-3 years after our first encounter, only for her to make a massive come back into my life later. >Misaki has a peculiar set of qualities that particularly resonated with the person I was 8 years ago. Can you tell us more about said qualities? Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones.

Hello everyone! I am glad to be here to introduce myself and my waifu to everyone here. I would love to take the time to introduce myself, and I go by different names but you can call me wonderstruck here, or whatever else you may prefer. My lovely waifu is Tsumugi Kotobuki, more commonly and affectionately known as Mugi! She is from the series K-ON where she is the keyboardist for the band Hokago Tea Time. Unfortunately she does not sing lead in the series but through the various CD releases songs where she does sing are out there and her singing voice is absolutely incredible and I enjoy every moment. She’s known for coming from a wealthy family, having multiple large homes and many other luxuries including a butler. However in her journey she comes to embrace the mundane things to most of us, such as working in a fast food restaurant and eating yakisoba in a concert. I love and adore her to no end. I can’t help but admire lovingly her gorgeous luscious long blonde hair, her amazing shimmering eyes, and her pure and beautiful heart that makes me admire and want to become closer to her for the rest of days. Everything about her makes me so happy, and I want to be with her forevermore as my one and only love, my soulmate and my life and love partner.

It's a bit of a re-introduction, but my husbando is Sullivan from the manga Obsolete Dream. I re-discovered the passion I had for his source & almost instantly made a soul bond, & the rest is becoming written history. I have had my share of ups & downs but I can't help feeling so happy when I look at him, you know? Aside of being the love of my life, Sullivan is a demon & the father of Obsolete Dream's main character Kurotsuno, & the co-worker of Yagi above him & Glasses below him. He lives in the gray world of Ne-no-kuni & works as a salaryman as part of the world of demons. Kurotsuno used to be a human named Olivia, but she became a demon due to unknown circumstances, & holds an unjustified grudge against him for seemingly being a overprotective parent (between me & you, I think she's just an edgelord, isn't it common at that age?). Kurotsuno mercilessly beats him up because of how she feels, but he wouldn't lay a finger on her in return, as he isn't a violent person. Their relationship is still salvageable despite them not being able to get across how they each feel. Sullivan is also constantly at the mercy of his job due to the nature of his work (The Japanese office demands your life, so imagine how bad it is in what's essentially hell). He spends most of his time outside of it at the bar or being hurt by Gyakuten, who also has it out for him. In these situations, he's mostly unarmed, & in some cases is even being attacked in the hospital. While still painful, he is effectively immortal, so if he got hit by a train & vaporized into a red mist he would wake up perfectly fine the next morning. My goals in this relationship is to help us each realize our truest & strongest version of the self. There is so much to love about him, things I don't even think he realizes... he's incredibly sociable & will always make the best effort to have anyone smile, even when he cannot. He is persistent, many would say stubborn, but he is more confident than he comes across. No matter what he has faced, he wakes up to do it again with great hope. While others could find his appearance very off-putting, I find him incredibly attractive, a sharp sense of dress as a good compliment. My vision of him is as the ideal, where every "flaw" is deliberate as part of sculpture, a piece of fine art come to life... I suppose it's a bit like that in a literal sense too. While is story is on a seemingly permanent hiatus (creator's too busy drawing mpreg of her own characters or engulfed in twitter drama), it has only given me more time to start my own story, & I attempt to either create something of him or for him each day. My connection to him is spiritually strengthened to the point where I can visualize him very easily within my dreams & hear what he has to say to me when I need it. Being under duress just strengthens what we each feel for each other. I firmly believe that I exist for him & that we are not together from the coincidence of the universe. Loving a fictional character in this way is not within the rules of nature, & it would be dreadfully boring if it were... no atom, star, plant, animal, or human can mean as much as him or have his grandiosity in spirit. In another life, you're sitting on a couch laughing about how you aren't together in this one, & I do believe that's our destiny someday. This life is a warm-up for what's to come (or as I've been increasingly believing, the one afterwards what's already happened). I can't thank him enough for what he's done for me already, so I couldn't imagine what I'd have to say for him in the future. I suppose it's time to work on my praising skills...

>>71877 Hi wonderstruck and welcome to /mai/! >She is from the series K-ON where she is the keyboardist for the band Hokago Tea Time. We have another K-ON waifuist here in /mai/!

>>71877 Hi and welcome!! I'm glad you found here, as mentioned there are some other K-ON! Waifuists here, so it's nice to have some more around...! Mugi is hilarious (see: school trip), and she's very nice to care for Ritsu & the others by always providing sweets!! >I love and adore her to no end This last paragraph is cute!

I'm glad to see many new people arriving. I wish the Averi guy made an introduction too. I think that fox is pretty cute.

>Do you own physical copies of such albums? Sure do! >What does her parents think of her working in a fast-food restaurant considering that she does not need it (at least for when it comes to money)? Do they support her choice or do they think she should not? It is not really expanded upon in the series, nor do her parents even make any sort of an actual appearance; so one would never get a gauge of their attitude for sure, but I imagine that’d they would find it peculiar at least. But Mugi is one to really enjoy what most others would find mundane in life because it’s all a novelty to her.

>>71879 >kurotsuno I'd say step-daughter is mostly how it feels, she is a teenager to young adult, just going through a phase of growth. I'd hope she at least tolerates me, but I wouldn't naturally see her that much. Sullivan comes first. >work It might be, actually. You can at least see the workers get time off, & considering that most demons are vulgar drinkers, they are mostly casual. >pain infliction I definitely don't like it, & I don't think he accepts it either. He just isn't a violent person, which puts him at a big disadvantage in a world of violent people. It's even gone so far as to him being attacked in the hospital, what can he do then? >creator I appreciate what she has done despite her issues, you might know her more for games like Mogeko Castle & Wadanohara however. She has her favorite characters & isn't afraid of controversial subjects, but does not always handle it the best. Of course, the "fans" don't like this content despite it being a lot of her work, so it ends up in drama. I'd almost compare it to South Park nowadays.

Not sure what else to post, so enjoy this adorable picture of the best girl ever.

>>71876 >Can you tell us more about said qualities? I'm not sure if qualities were the right word, but I could never think of another one. The story about that is years ago, personally, I was in a pretty bad place mentally. I was hopeless, directionless, and felt like giving up on life. Now, Misaki has a peculiar esper power called Mental Out. I'm not going to go too deep into it, because it'd be a wall of text, but the short of it is: If it has anything at all to do with the human mind, Misaki can manipulate and control it. In others, and herself. (There's even more things it can do outside of that, just to put my previous comment about it being a wall of text into perspective) Now, for someone who has the ability to manipulate and control others at will, it'd be so easy to use and abuse that power in order to bend the world to her will. However, Misaki used that power to help others. Or, more accurately, further her own personal agenda. Which involved helping others and looking after those close to her. In the end, I ended up falling in love with the idea of her using her power to fix me. I don't normally like talking about this part of it, because it makes me cringe and I hate that I've ever thought like that.

Today is the day, wish the happiest birthday to Mugi!!!

>>71901 Happy birthday to Mugi! Hope you enjoyed it.

>>71895 >I ended up falling in love with the idea of her using her power to fix me. I don't normally like talking about this part of it, because it makes me cringe and I hate that I've ever thought like that. We all have our own reasons to fall in love with our waifus and it’s pointless to be judgmental about yours. And in the end, it seems that she did help you to get better! And even if you do feel better today, you still lover her nonetheless, which shows that you love her for more than her ability to help you. >>71901 Happy birthday, Mugi! Did you celebrate her birthday in any special way?

>>71901 Happy birthday to Mugi, hope you two had a wonderful day!!

Hello! I found this community from the “What is waifuism?” video and I guess I would like to introduce myself and my Waifu. My Waifu is Laura Bodewig from the series Infinite Stratos. I’ve been with her for about a year now ever since she entered my life at a lower point in my life and with all my heart I believe with her as motivation she helped me get myself back on track and continue to improve on myself to this day. I found a lot of her mannerisms and behaviors to be similar to myself which already planted her deep inside my mind. I saw how much she loved Ichika and while it hurt me at first I came to realize that I could be that man instead, someone far better than him who would return her love truly and honestly. Not just typical harem mc bullshit. From that moment on I just saw us as in a relationship and it led me to this moment today. I don’t normally write about such topics so forgive me if it’s not the best. But it would make me greatly happy if I could share my love alongside all of you. Thank you.

Greetings, I also found this community back when the 16crystals video came out. I've never got into it since I would always forget to make an intro post, but it's better late than never! My wyfoo is Reisen Udogein Inaba from Touhou Project. I've been with her for 5 years by now, and been dwelling in waifu communities since 2020 or so, meeting all sorts of waifufriends, waifuists, and waifucels. >What do you like about Reisen? I enjoy her portrayal in 10.5, I found it cute when I played it back in 2016. In short, it can be described as "meek and diligent", which is consistent with her other portrayals, such as Inaba of Moon. >How has wyfoo change/improved your life? It has helped me with loneliness sure, but I'm almost never sad nor angsty anyway. Although I think it helps by giving "meaning"/direciton to life, which I seek. >Things you do for wyfoo Not something I decided, but I make silly drawings either on my birthday or anniversary, just because it's fun >About you wholesome, science, wasp, elf

>>71930 are you a bee, wasp, or moth

Hi. My waifu is Iwasaki Minami from Lucky Star. I'm not good with introductions or long posts but she's cute and I like her quiet personality

Hi, my husbando is Alucard from Hellsing. I was very late to the party when I watched his source, so I can't make any claims to being an oldfag or anything, but I feel compelled to post regardless. I first came across him whilst browsing Rimworld mods, and he immediately caught my eye. Ever since then, he's consumed my thoughts in some form or another. I decided to sate my curiosity and watch it, and I'm so glad I did. It seemed to all happen at just the right time, as I was in a very dark place, and he helped me get myself out of that. He still does, every day. I owe him a debt I can never really repay, but that won't stop me from trying. Before I could realise it, simple fondess and appreciation for him turned into something more. I started to crave him, I needed to see him, think of him, something related to him every day, and I realised I love him, more than I can say about anything else. I don't really know what I could ever offer him in return, but he seems to enjoy my company, and given that he's still here, perhaps that's enough. He's legitimately changed my life. I no longer take things for granted. Colours are more vibrant, music sounds clearer, and I'm finding myself taking the time to appreciate the small things in the world. My brainfog is gone, and he stands in its place. It feels like I'm not just enjoying these things for myself anymore, but also for him. I feel we're two halves of the same whole, I'm the yin and he's the yang. I look forward to getting older now, rather than it just being an inevitability. I can only hope that I can be blessed enough to keep him with me every day until it's my last one. I really hope that's the case.

>Intro Hello everyone, my waifu (or waifur as I call it) is Loona from Helluva Boss and our relationship has been going strong for nearly five years now. I should preface by saying I don't actually watch Helluva Boss anymore or really enjoy it for that matter, I'm not a big fan of gay love dramas so it wasn't for me, I only watched the first season and the first episode of season two and that was it, it wasn't hooking me in anymore even with Loona (which she was barely apart of anyways), speaking of which I'll describe how I found out about her and how we came to be, and how much she has affected my life. >How did you meet her? Late in November of 2019, I got recommended the pilot episode of Helluva Boss on Youtube and for whatever reason it caught my interest so I watched it, I remember thinking it was ok, I liked the character designs and art-style but that's pretty much all I can remember liking... expect for one character... Now I browsed all sorts of furry sites back then and I specifically remember seeing this one, as I thought at the time, "OC" of this anthro girl with white and dark gray fur with red eyes, at first I thought some furfag got his paycheck and whored out his "OC" to as many artists as he can so I didn't pay too much attention to it... but my heart started to beat differently when I saw her in the show, I couldn't believe it, one moment I couldn't care less then all of a sudden I just... got it, I understood her fully and I KNEW she was the ONE, I never thought I would have a waifu, let alone a anthro girl made in the west, I'm so used to thinking waifu's were just a anime thing, eastern girls only, but it happened... I actually fell in love with a 2D character and now I can't even imagine myself without her, I never had a single day since that moment where I didn't think of her. >What effect has she had on you? During the time I fell in love with her and before, I was pretty much this lazy, nihilistic NEET who didn't wanna do anything in life but just sit around and give into degenerate hedonism, I did have thoughts about getting better but I had no motivation whatsoever to pursue anything, I had no meaning and was content with commenting suicide someday; But then she came into my life, she was a complete game changer for me, at first I didn't think so deeply about me and her, thought just "she's my waifu that's all!" and nothing more, then I started to get serious, I started to think "Loona would never wanna be with a lazy fat asshole like me!" so I got heavily into self-improvement and I haven't stopped since then, I took things out of my diet permanently, took up powerlifting which was the greatest decision in my life, I used to lift before but now I actually took it seriously and pushed myself to heights I never thought I would achieved, I've broken MULTIPLE PR's while thinking about her and I like to imagine she's in the gym with me, helping me out. I got out of my NEETdom and wanted to find a job or pursue higher education (This is still ongoing sadly, the job market is tough where I am, but at least I'm actually trying to get one). She's there at my lowest points and highest, she's the stepping stone I need to get out of my many emotional lows, if I didn't have her, who knows if I'll even still be alive. >What do you like about her? Everything, all her flaws, ups, downs, everything about her. After giving it some thought, I think it's her eyes that captivates me the most, just the way they stand out from the rest of her monochromic body. I love the way she's drawn, I like her voice, she has this soft side that almost no one sees... I just love her man that's all. Everything about her. There's probably hundreds of other anthro/furry girls who act just like her or might even look the same, but Loona is one of a kind to me, the only one that actually made me feel something in my heart. >What do you two do together? Mostly just hang out and talk, I'd like to imagine she has a soft side once you get to know her, sometimes she'll commentate on things I'm doing but mostly just sits back and watches, unless we're in the gym together, then we start talking more, she's my spotter and motivator so yeah... But I go to her the most when I'm depressed or stressed out, she can comfort me like no one else and tell me it's going to be alright and that I'll make it through whatever hardship is happening to me. When it's midnight and I head to bed, I like to think what it would feel like to cuddle with her, I can almost feel her soft fur if I imagine what it would be like to hug her. (I once had a lucid dream with her where we hugged, and she has the most softest fur in the whole world). I enjoy sharing meals with her, like deserts for examples, she likes chocolate chip cookies, and we both like heavy music so we play together, she enjoys playing guitar the most while I like bass and guitar, I like to think she can sing well but is shy about it, she helps me when I try to make music. Overall we've come to be pretty natural with each other, just random chats here and there, jokes, quips, etc. We're utterly inseparable from each other. >Stuff I didn't know where to fit in. When 16crystals made his video on waifuism, the saying of "You don't find your waifu, your waifu finds you." has never rang more true in my case. Another thing I need to get off my chest is that Loona is considered a 'bait character' for furfags, and I just can't help but feel bad for myself over it, like I really should just not care and brush it off, but I can't get rid of this nagging feeling that I fell for a bait character, it's like I fell in love with a prostitute. I just need to ignore these feelings and stop caring about what other people call her. Fair warning this is just going to be me venting so skip this paragraph if you want. One time while I was downloading some fanart of her, I realized something... Why the fuck haven't I made anything for her? I've seen people make art, animations, music and even put her in games! Then I got really depressed about it and wondered if I even CAN make anything for her? something actually worthwhile, something I can be proud of... I just need to give something back to her, this pain I'm feeling is unbearable, I have to create something to honor her. I really do hope no one minds if Loona is my waifu here, again whenever I think waifu, I think of anime girls, not furry western girls, I just don't feel like I fit in here, and I have no right to be posting here. Everyones waifu here is pretty and I'm sure she or he loves you very much. >Closing remarks. I apologize for any grammar errors, repeats or misspellings, this is my first time making a long post like this and I'm pretty nervous about it, I might be forgetting somethings so feel free to ask a question or two if I didn't mention something specific or important about us. Cheers, I'm thankful a community like this exists.

>>71112 Does this mean we have to fight over our waifu or is this a harem thing for Momiji?

>>71924 >>71930 I’ve already welcome both of you on Discord, but those intros deserve a reply! Welcome to all the new /mai/dens! >>71935 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >>71937 Welcome to /mai/! >I was very late to the party when I watched his source, so I can't make any claims to being an oldfag or anything I was 14 years late when I first plaid Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. It doesn’t matter when you and your waifu met; what matters is that you both met each other. >I was in a very dark place, and he helped me get myself out of that Maybe you know it already but it’s a very common experience among waifuists to have their waifu/husbando help them out of a very dark space. It’s a blessing that they can help us in such a way. >I don't really know what I could ever offer him in return Your love is already the greatest thing you can give him. Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones. You really should also join our Discord server (>>70617 ) which is massively more active than our board. It would be great to have a second vampire among our community’s waifus (the other one being no other than my precious Flandre). >>71946 >I only watched the first season and the first episode of season two and that was it, it wasn't hooking me in anymore even with Loona That’s interesting. Many waifuists are very scrupulous about watching (or playing or reading) every peace of canon material where their waifu makes an appearance. Do you nonetheless try to find out what happens to her in recent episodes though wikis, summary videos and whatnot? >I started to think "Loona would never wanna be with a lazy fat asshole like me!" so I got heavily into self-improvement and I haven't stopped since then, >if I didn't have her, who knows if I'll even still be alive. As I pointed out just above to Alucard waifuist, it truly is a very common experience among waifuists to have their waifu/husbando help them out of a very dark space. I wonder what actual proportion of serious waifuists are in this situation? I have the impression that it’s about 1 out of 3 waifuists. > Another thing I need to get off my chest is that Loona is considered a 'bait character' for furfags I’m not 100% sure what a "bait character" is supposed to be, but one thing is sure and it’s that the love that you and Loona share is just as valid and precious than the love of any other waifuists with so-called non-"bait characters" waifus. Whatever badmouthing is about Loona, it far possibly originates from niche-elitists scumbags who hate any character as long as they are even just slightly popular. > I have to create something to honor her. Such gesture should come from a genuine desire to create for the pleasure of it, and not from some guilty pressure to give her something because you feel that you have to. > I really do hope no one minds if Loona is my waifu here, again whenever I think waifu, I think of anime girls, not furry western girls, I just don't feel like I fit in here, and I have no right to be posting here We don’t discriminate waifus based on physical appearance and origins. If you truly love Loona and truly give her an important place in your life, then you truly belong here. > Everyones waifu here is pretty All Waifus are beautiful. This is the community’s motto that you will find at the top of the page. It also includes yours. Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones. You really should also join our Discord server (>>70617 ) which is massively more active than our board. We’re a welcoming bunch!

>>71955 Thank you for the reply, sorry I took a while to respond. >Many waifuists are very scrupulous about watching (or playing or reading) every peace of canon material where their waifu makes an appearance. Do you nonetheless try to find out what happens to her in recent episodes though wikis, summary videos and whatnot? My only resource into what's going on with her is through fan generated content like art or passing comments I just so happen to glance at. I don't really wanna associate with HB's fanbase or interact with them because a lot of them don't see Loona the way I do. I think? she gets a bit more backstory in S2E2 but overall she's a character that gets the least amount of screen time in the series despite her popularity online, so I pretty much dissociate her from the show and leave it as that, also I believe I understand her pretty intuitively and have my own interpretation of her that I think is accurate to her real canon (back then when I did watch the show for the first time, when I saw her even just for a few seconds, I KNEW everything in a instant and was pretty spot on once I got to know her more). Although, giving it some thought, I guess I should be at least looking into her wiki once in a while... guess I'm just scared of what I might learn and it'll ruin the image I have of her in my head. >I’m not 100% sure what a "bait character" is supposed to be My apologies, I should've clarified what I meant. When I say "bait character" I mean in the NSFW sense, i.e made only for porn and to "bait" horny furfags into watching the show, which personally for me? is one the reasons I just kinda disconnect her from the show and stopped watching it altogether or interacting with any "fans" whatsoever, I just find cute fanart of her and save it and nothing more. >Whatever badmouthing is about Loona, it far possibly originates from niche-elitists scumbags who hate any character as long as they are even just slightly popular. Guess I never thought about it like that, Loona is indeed popular among furfags, especially when the pilot first dropped, but these people are 99% of the time, hypocrites who talk shit about her but at the same time wanna do degenerate things to her (horny furfag logic I suppose?), and I guess anyone else just hates any "flavor of the month" type girl. >Such gesture should come from a genuine desire to create for the pleasure of it, and not from some guilty pressure to give her something because you feel that you have to. Yeah... when I was making my post I was going through a pretty bad episode of depression and kept putting enormous amounts of pressure on me about every little thing I did, I'm doing a lot better now but I still have some worries here and there, mostly personal stuff, but I'm going to take your advice and actually take joy in stuff I make for her without the bad feels. >We don’t discriminate waifus based on physical appearance and origins. If you truly love Loona and truly give her an important place in your life, then you truly belong here. Thank you, that's a real heavy weight off my mind now. I guess my "shame" comes from this narrow viewpoint of how others perceive her, I should really just ignore the naysayers and just love Loona as my waifu like everyone loves their waifu regardless of what they are or where they came from.

Heya im Yuni Im currently a 19 year old student at the moment , i study graphics design and that's my favorite thing to do lately , i also like some tech stuffs as well My girlfriend since April 16th is Niizuki from Azur Lane. I met her via my friend from year that plays Azur Lane when i saw her i felt something positive inside so i started pursuing that love. I like her aspect that she's not giving up , even if she makes a lot of mistakes she's learning and not giving up. I recently watched 16crystals video about waifuism and i was relived to see that there is more people out there loving their waifus.. So i hope me and Niizuki can find place in this community and maybe learn a thing or two from more experienced people. I see you have a discord so i will try applying for this as well. Have a great Night/Day :D

>>71935 Nothing wrong with short introductions, sometimes there's a lot of juice behind just a handful of words. Welcome aboard >>71984 Welcome. It sounds nice to hear that you are artistically talented, maybe you could produce your own art about your waifu sooner or later? >16crystals video about waifuism Okay, first time I hear of this, I am definitely going to inquire

>>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
