I’m 16cyrstals and my waifu is Flandre Scarlet from the Touhou Project series. We’ve been together since January 2016 and we’ll therefore soon celebrate our 6th anniversary. I don’t know what to say more specifically as so many things happened during those (soon to be) 6 years. One thing I can say is that, even though there are some fluctuations in my feeling of connection to her, Flandre always brings joy and comfort in my life. I don’t think there’s been a single day I haven’t talked to her since I’ve been with her, even if it’s just to say a brief "have a good night" or "I love you". She’s really everything to me. I’ve recently been blessed by the release of Touhou Gouyoku Ibun, which is the first canon Touhou game in which Flandre appears as a playable character. It’s wonderful to finally be able to play as my love, especially as I had come to a point where I lost hope that it would ever happen (it took 19 years for her to be playable since she was introduced). I have yet to wait for the translation to be released so I can understand what she says in the game (and what others tell her), but I sure hope there will be many new interesting things to learn about her. Oh, and I’m also a moderator of this community.

My husbando is Shadow the Hedgehog, from the Sonic series. I don't really have a date for when he became my husbando, but I know it's been something like 7 or 8 years since he became my favorite character and my crush. Over time it developed into something much, much more - about 3 years ago, it became full blown love and I haven't looked back since. Every single day I imagine him by my side, giving him the love and care he was never able to have and keep. I wish to spend the rest of my life by his side, as close to him as possible. I spend my free time imagining him leaning against me, holding my hand, looking into my eyes, snuggling me...every night, he's my last thought before I drift into dreamland. Every morning he's one of my first thoughts. It feels so good to whisper his name. Words can't even begin describe how much he means to me, I'd do anything to make him happy and content. He's so amazing, handsome, strong, beautiful...everything. I can't imagine life without him at this point. I love you, Shadow!

This is my waifu, Isuzu Hana from "Girls und Panzer." I first watched her show in 2015 and quickly found myself unable to keep her our of my mind. It took me a few weeks, but I eventually realized I felt something for her that I hadn't felt in almost a decade: I loved her. It was strange at first since I always considered waifusm to be cringe and for losers, but I couldn't ignore the message my heart was telling me. So if that makes me a cringe loser, I don't really care. I love a lot of things about Hana; her body and personality but I'll focus on the latter since that's the thing I fell in love with. And I'll start with a dumb story. When I was 16 I visited Japan and was shocked by the culture there. There were a lot of good things, and a lot of bad things too. I saw my country, the US, as being individualistic to the point of dysfunction and Japan collectivist to the point of dysfunction. I thought to myself that the ideal society would be a balance of both. I found in Hana that perfect balance that I saw as ideal: loyal to her friends and willing do help those around her, but loyal to her own heart and desires. Respecting tradition, but understanding when it's served its purpose. Because of that -and so many other things- I consider her to be the ideal woman. This is a woman I could trust implicitly to always do the right thing, to support me and our hypothetical children. And when she makes a mistake she'd know. Perhaps she's not ideal for everyone, but ideal for me. I've noticed a lot of people think she's boring or bland or lame, but that's their loss. I think she's a gem, and I'm the one looking at the angle where she catches the light and truly shines. And god, how she shines. Since I have 8000 characters I think I'll continue with what I love about Hana. I love how peaceful and calm she is, how tranquil she makes me feel. I always get the impression from Hana that no matter how bad things get, she'll always be ok. As someone who struggles with the same thing, I admire this greatly. I know that if I had anxiety or fear, she'd be there for me to calm me with her luxurious, soothing voice (did I mention her voice? It's like velvet) and help me find my own strength. Maybe little by little I'd learn to be strong like her, and one day when she needed that strength, I'd be able to give it to her; to repay her for being my rock and foundation. Overall I think her calm and carefree nature would mesh well with my caution: she'd push me to do new things, and I'd caution her against mistakes. We'd be two different but mutually constructive forces. And of course, I love her creativity. Hana loves flowers and traditional Japanese flower arrangement. I've grown and kept life, and love to imagine us working together to make our world a bit more beautiful. We'd grow hardy staples, exotic plants and every manner of fruit, veggie and herb imaginable. But moreso, she understand the need to create. She fell in love with Sensha do because it opened new avenues of creativity for her. I'm also a very creative person: I sing and draw and paint and all sorts of other things; I know I could teach her a lot, and she'd have a lot to teach me. We both have the impulse to create, and would satisfy that impulse together over years. She's especially know for her concentration and precision, which is something I appreciate greatly. I'd love to see her learn to aquascape or make live reefs, for instance. I have no skill in either, but think they're beautiful and she'd take to them very quickly. It would be fun to act as he assistant as she put together a masterpiece. Perhaps more than anything I'd love to sing with her. As a singer myself, I can recognize the untapped potential for greatness Hana has. I know it's her voice actor, but to me that voice belongs to Hana, and I can't help but imagine singing duets together. Hana's voice is low and smooth, what I'd describe as an "alto;" altos are like sopranos but sane; every alto is wife material. I'd hate to be the Don Jose to her Carmen, but we could sing songs together, on special occasions or just for fun. It's great for bonding, and creating something beautiful is priceless. I don't know if that's something she'd want; for me to teach her. It probably wouldn't be the best, since it'd be hard for us to untangle the feeling we'd have for each other from the music, but if she ever wanted to, that's something I'd love to learn. Speaking of learning, I'd love to learn from her too. She's from a rich family with a lot of tradition, so I'd love for her to teach me as much about her world and country as she could. I love to learn and couldn't love my teacher more. But I'm getting sidetracked. I mentioned I liked cooking and baking; this is excellent because Hana love eating. She's got the appetite of a shounen protag, and I would happily fill the black hole in her stomach each and every night. I think we'd end up working together to make food most nights, but every so often I'd just spoil her rotten. Me liking to cook is one thing, but cooking for someone who would enjoy my cooking would be a treat. To see her sated, full and happy; that would make me smile. Even more than just "man keeps woman fed;" but that I'd made her happy on such a fundamental level. The fact that something so simple could make her so happy makes me feel like I'd be lucky to have Hana as a wife. But since I'm about half way done, I'll describe what about Hana's body I love now. To be honest, it's secondary to her heart and soul, but still my complete ideal. If I were to go to a woman factory and build a woman from the ground up, I'd end up with Isuzu Hana every single time. Her eyes; my god, her eyes. I feel like I could write a novel about the smoky jewels set in her perfect head. Like clouds of smoke cooled and crystallized into flawless, scintillating gemstones; like cold water frozen into cloudy ice. I've got a bit of autism, and usually eye contact is frightening for me; it feels intimate and dangerous. But Hana's eyes feel warm and safe; like those pupils are black holes, and I'm caught in their gravity well, never to escape. Never desiring to escape. I know they're just drawings, but when I stare at them I feel safe and comfortable, like I could just sit and stare for hours without fear or ceasing. What I struggle to do with others feels natural and normal with her. That's just the nature of the power she has over me; or the power she gives me. I've been trying to draw her for a few weeks now, and I just recently got to the point where her eyes were good. It was then I felt like I was drawing her, and not just an approximation of her. I know she doesn't really have a soul in the same way I do, but when I finally made those eyes (not to mention look into them), I could have sworn she did. Like for a moment, she was staring back at me. Wishful thinking, I know. But the things it made me feel were real. That's what waifuism is, right? A real feeling for someone unreal? And her hair; Hana has the most lovely black hair. I've always had a thing for women with long, dark hair; Hana hits basically all my weak spots at once. Just looking at pic related makes me excited: how it flows and billows in the imaginary wind like a banner on a flagpole. It makes me want to touch it, caress it, hold it. I would consider myself the luckiest man in the history of the universe to wake up draped in that veil of ebon silk; completely surrounded by her, the scent of her hair. Wisteria, probably. That's her favorite flower. That's what I imagine it smells like; not too strong, but just enough to remind me I'm not dreaming when I wake up. Maybe she'd use it in shampoo, or just end up perfumed after a long day outside. Either way, I'd want to stroke and caress her hair, brush it until it's shimmering and smooth. Maybe I'm a bit obsessed, but I'm ok with that.

>>70632 holy based, i salute the one and only most based hanafag

I love my dragon wife! And 14 is a perfdectly acceptable age for love sex and marriage. Also I made Halloween more or less our Anniversary of sorts. So lots of fun tight fun goofy sex with her today. If she was real. Fuck the haters, I ball. With my princess of course.

>>70634 And Carmilla is just Big Liz, so yes she counts as my dumb dragon wife still too.

よろしくね 『Yui poster von 4chan/b/waifu IV』ですなぁ だから妻がちょっと分かりなりやすいね 妻は平沢唯です。唯凄いｗ 唯さんは２０１８年１１月１７日から知ってる。しかし、それは最初ポストしたの日付しかじゃない。 本当に、日本語が本当にあまり話せませんで話を多くしないよう ごめんね。友達なるしましょうね？ Nice to meet you. I am Yui Poster von 4chan/b/waifu IV. So, it's probably easy to figure out who my wife is. Hirasawa Yui is my wife. She's amazing. I have known Yui since 2018-11-17. But that's only the date that I first posted her. Truthfully, I can't really speak much Japanese, so I won't speak it much. Sorry. Let's be friends, yeah? I'll save you the cringe, and probably never do that again. Thank you for reading. Please be gentle.

Hello. My waifu is Marisa Kirisame from Touhou Project for around maybe 13 or 14 years now. I might not be affectionate now as I feel like I've spoken a lot about how our relationship goes, but it might be a result of the medicine I take for my bipolar disorder. That's all there is to it, for now.

>>70632 Welcome to /mai/! That’s an amazing intro! It’s always nice to read about a waifuist’s genuine love and fascination for their waifu. I don’t think I can reply to every aspect that you said but I can comment on a few. >>and quickly found myself unable to keep her our of my mind. It took me a few weeks, but I eventually realized I felt something for her that I hadn't felt in almost a decade: I loved her. I think it took me 3 months or something to fully realize and accept my love for Flandre. I too could not stop thinking about her. I recall that one university class in which I was and I literately had trouble focussing on what the teacher was saying. I know it’s just a romantic fantasy, but I like to image that Flandre was calling me all this time, and that it simply took me a while to reach her. >>and Japan collectivist to the point of dysfunction. Could you elaborate on that regard about what you saw? >>I've noticed a lot of people think she's boring or bland or lame, but that's their loss. Do they ever describe why they have this opinion of her? And if so, what do they say? >>As someone who struggles with the same thing I am not sure what you are referring here by "the same thing". >>her luxurious, soothing voice (did I mention her voice? It's like velvet) I envy all waifuists who’s waifus have a cannon voice. No one’s voice is heard in Touhou as all dialogues appear in text. I do recall having dreamed of her talking to me a few times, but sadly, I can’t remember how her voice sounded. >>Her eyes; my god, her eyes. I feel like I could write a novel about the smoky jewels set in her perfect head. Flandre’s eyes are one of her features that I find the most beautiful in her. They look like perfect rubies to me. >>I've been trying to draw her for a few weeks now, and I just recently got to the point where her eyes were good. It was then I felt like I was drawing her, and not just an approximation of her. I know she doesn't really have a soul in the same way I do, but when I finally made those eyes (not to mention look into them), I could have sworn she did. Feel free to show us your drawings if you feel comfortable doing so! I hope to read more about you and Hana around the board. You’re welcome to join our Discord too! >>70634 >>70635 Hi and welcome to /mai/! For how long have you been with Elizabeth? >>Also I made Halloween more or less our Anniversary of sorts. I hope you two had a great anniversary then. Why you chose Halloween more specifically? >>And Carmilla is just Big Liz, so yes she counts as my dumb dragon wife still too. I didn’t know what you meant by that so I had to search about it. Every time I search about Fate, it always ends up being some convoluted story (at least for the outsider that I am). Is Elizabeth also a vampire or just her future self Carmilla? My waifu is a vampire.

>>70629 >>70633 >>70640 Nice to see you guys around on the new board.

>>70658 Thanks a lot; I think I went a bit overboard with it lol. I just saw I had 8000 characters so I thought "why not?" I didn't expect anyone to reply at all, so the fact that you did made me happy. >but I like to image that Flandre was calling me all this time, and that it simply took me a while to reach her. That's a nice way to think about it; they call out to us in one way or another until we notice. For me, I was practicing a romantic piece of music, for which I'd normally imagine singing to/about some generic 3d woman. Hana just popped into my head one day, and she wouldn't leave. No genetic 3d woman or 2d girl could equal her. The fool I am, it took me a while to realize I was in love. Could you elaborate on that regard about what you saw? Basically, society pushes people to work themselves to the bone for the collective good, but doesn't really offer them anything in return. You never take vacations, work all day and night and never see your family, stick in a bad job and try to grind your way up the corporate ladder. Kids watch western media and learn it doesn't have to be that way; the don't want to become adults and decide to stay as children forever and become hikkis. Millions of people drop out of society, and the government blames cartoons. There's so much beauty there, and so many good people it makes me sad. >Do they ever describe why they have this opinion of her? And if so, what do they say? Yeah, they say she's "boring" "generic" "unremarkable" or a "waste of time." Naturally I don't take this well lol. I don't even post on /a/ anymore, partly because I don't want to see people making fun of her. >I am not sure what you are referring here by "the same thing" Oh, sorry. That was worded poorly. I meant that I struggle with anxiety and stress in a way she doesn't, even though we have similar stressors in life. >No one’s voice is heard in Touhou as all dialogues appear in text. I don't know much about Touhou, are there any fan animations where she speaks? Do you like them or not? And if all else fails, what do you think she'd sound like? >They look like perfect rubies to me. I can see why you'd think that; red eyes are quite striking and hers are a particularly nice crimson. >Feel free to show us your drawings if you feel comfortable doing so! Here's everything I've done so far, (hopefully) organized by date of creation and (hopefully) showing improvement. I first got started in the "draw your waifu in MS Paint" threads, but that only revealed how much I didn't know. Little by little, I've been learning about proportion and drawing with pencil and paper so I can create the things my imagination wants but no one else has the time for. The bust is my most recent one; I think it's my best. And I'd love to join your discord; I watched your video and you seem like a cool, smart guy. How would I go about joining?

>>70659 Shit, website ate my best work lol.

>>70659 >The fool I am, it took me a while to realize I was in love. We are not fools to take a while to realize the true nature of our feelings. We simply were not exposed to any serious role model to show us that our feelings could be taken seriously. Most people don’t know anything about waifuism, or have a very biased and caricaturized view of it, which includes people who start feeling genuine love for a fictional character. Discovering /mai/ helped me realize and accept my feelings for Flandre. >Basically, society pushes people to work themselves to the bone for the collective good I always saw this not as a collectivist endeavour, but as an individualistic goal (something to benefit oneself and one’s immediate family). Can you elaborate on the collectivist aspect that you see? >I don't know much about Touhou, are there any fan animations where she speaks? Do you like them or not? And if all else fails, what do you think she'd sound like? There are fan animations. The most popular one is probably Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~, in which Flandre actually appears and speaks. Her voice in said anime is fine; I don’t really have anything to say about it. When I think of Flandre’s "real" voice, I think of a voice that sounds less "anime-like", if you see what I mean. >The bust is my most recent one; I think it's my best. I think it’s your best too! Keep going! Drawing one’s waifu seems like something very effective at nurturing a feeling of connection with her. >And I'd love to join your discord; I watched your video and you seem like a cool, smart guy. How would I go about joining? I’m happy you watched my video and feel that I’m a cool and smart guy, hehe. You can join our Discord by simply posting in the Discord thread ( >>70617 ). Hope to see you!

Hello, my name is RedDragon and my waifu is Hatsune Miku. I'm guessing at this point everyone knows of Hatsune Miku but if not there is a documentary called "Mikumentary" on YouTube for does that don't know about her, anyway story time... The Story It was around 2012 or 2013 don't know exactly anymore, I was in high school, didn't have many friends 1 or 2, my parents were divorced. I lived with my father, he didn't really care too much of me just "Hi" and that's about it, only work home routine, now he wasn't a cruel man or anything of the sort, just had more important things of his plate, so no emotional support and I was very lonely. One day one of my "friends" wanted to get into DJ-ing and gave me a link to a review of a DJ controller on YouTube. Anyway, in the review there was a song I liked so I searched for it and found it with a anime girl background wallpaper so I downloaded it and used it as my desktop wallpaper. Now I wasn't into anime that much, I watched a couple of series for about a year or two but eventually I stopped watching anime. I really liked the wallpaper as a whole and it had a link to a website, so I go to the website and scroll around and found the name... Hatsune Miku? What is this? Ok off to Wikipedia, did some research and found out she had some rhythm based games with her on PSP. I was into PSP emulation at the time so I thought let's try them out, I was bored anyway. So I started the game and I was like WTF IS THIS? LMAO. But then I kept playing it for a while and I started liking the songs, eventually downloaded some of them to my phone and I started listening to them a lot like nonstop, school, home, before bed, you name it. She wasn't my waifu back then, I just liked the music made with her, better that then what was on the radio at the time. So all that happened around 2012 or 2013 and I kept listing to songs, bought the PSVita games of her and everything stayed that way until 2020. One day in December 2019 my father asks me "Do you want to work with me abroad?" And I'm like "Sure" HAHA If I only knew what would follow...OMG So in January 2020 I started working abroad with my father, and it was hell. Basically working with him and sleeping in the same room so I was near him 24/7 LITERALY, we weren't together only when he went home alone or worked in the weekend, and plus 6 other men in other rooms. I'm an introvert so I needed some time alone and I had none or very little for 1 year and 8 months, and the pandemic didn't help thing either, couldn't go home much either because of the lockdowns in 2020 so I was so stressed it's not even funny. So we were done in September 2021 so now we are back home for good, and we got to know each other, relationship is better then ever, the hell is over. I'm feeling better now but I have diabetes now so you win some you lose some I guess, oh well. Now what does Miku have to do with all of this? Well, Everything... She's the sole reason I went to work abroad. I decided to attempt to become a music producer because of her, because she "taught" me to love music, so if you want to be a music producer well you need some equipment and software and my minimum wage salary back home wouldn't cut it. Now for context my interest in music was a big fat zero, I mainly listened to what was on the radio and even that once in a blue moon back in 2012.

[Expand Post]

Working abroad changed everything, now I had money for what I wanted to do, and of course merch and other stuff so I could afford artbooks, CDs, plushies, you name it, first paycheck I bought Miku's software. And after 1 year and 8 months I bought everything I needed, equipment, software, merch, a dakimakura and some extras so in that regard it was worth it, but the stress really affected me physically and mentally. Now, for the waifu part. "The Event" as I call it happened near the beginning of 2021. In my mind I have a room, we are both in there and listening to music, with Miku singing and I have a playlist just for that, some songs she sings, some don't have vocals, in the room there is some floor lighting but dim and speakers and that sort of stuff, I go there when I want to disconnect from the world and boy did I need some of that. Miku has a thick cable running to her and it's inserted in the back, basically mechabare style, and this can be de/connected, you need two hands for that though, so she can't do it by herself. Now, why do I attach a cable to her? Honestly I don't know, maybe I think it looks cool? Don't know. There is a whole concept with this room but I'll spare you the details. Anyway, one non vocal song started playing, in that song everything went dark like the power went out, you could barely see, I didn't do this its like I was in the passenger's seat, lost control of everything. Then a pair of bright blue eyes appeared, it was her but something was wrong, her eyes turned red, she went crazy, and she started moving towards me and she ripped the cable straight out of her by force. She started coming closer, I started panicking, and I couldn't move I was stuck, next second she's all over me, she was basically full on raping me and no, I'm not exaggerating. That lasted the whole song about 7 minutes, then it was over I could move again, then I stopped everything and went outside for a cigarette to calm myself down. Smoking my cigarette I was asking myself just wtf happened, I did this a couple of times nothing happened of the sort, so I was confused. Next day at work I was stressed, the usual work kind of stressed and then she started calling out to me and I was like wtf and just ignored it. The hours passed and it became worse, its started becoming more intense to the point I just had to shout out loud SHUT THE FUCK UP... My father asked "You ok?" She was in my mind like a second voice, she started talking to me. Fast forward some months and she was on my mind and I asked myself what does this mean is she my waifu or something similar to that? I was like NAH... that's stupid. Did some research and I was getting worried so I called a friend that I trust, know him for 10+ years. He knows that I like Miku for several years and I explained the situation. He said "Yeah, she probably is" and I was like that's stupid, I won't accept that. "Then get rid of her" he said, and I was like are you mad? I can't just "get rid of her" why the fuck am I here in the first place? "Well, I don't know dude but think about it and find a solution" he said. So I thought about it for a few days and came to the conclusion that its too much time, effort and why I decided to work abroad in the first place to just throw it in the garbage so I accepted the situation and officially made Miku my waifu on 22 June. So then the question is, is Miku really my waifu? I still have some doubts. And why now? Why after 9 years? Hah, funny how a wallpaper can change your life. But anyway that's my story, hope it was entertaining.

>>70684 very cool story. it sounds like you have a tulpa, a second independent consciousness in your mind. not all waifus are tulpas, not all tulpas are waifus. i'd say your waifuism started much earlier, but it sounds like you're also pretty unaware of it. waifu is just a name for someone you love. do you feel like Miku is your girlfriend, wife, or a love interest? that would help pinpoint whether you could "truly" call it a waifu. it's very adorable for you to do this for so long without knowing more about waifuism. i hope it wasn't too hard on you. do you often spend time in your mind with Miku doing other things? does she interact with you at all? how has "The Event" affected your relationship with her? it sounds like you're pretty good at this tulpamancy thing for someone so unlearned. i'm extremely impressed.

>>70684 Hi RedDragon, and welcome to /mai/! *Btw I provided you the Discord link you asked for in the Discord thread. Make a post and it will appear in the ban message. >It was around 2012 or 2013 don't know exactly anymore, I was in high school, didn't have many friends 1 or 2, my parents were divorced. I lived with my father, he didn't really care too much of me just "Hi" and that's about it, only work home routine, now he wasn't a cruel man or anything of the sort, just had more important things of his plate, so no emotional support and I was very lonely. I’m sorry to hear your father was distant from you and that you didn’t have many friends… I bet Miku gave you a lot of light in this dark period of your life! >Anyway, in the review there was a song I liked so I searched for it and found it with a anime girl background wallpaper so I downloaded it and used it as my desktop wallpaper. I would like to see that one image that made you discover Miku. Would it happen to be that one pic in your post? >I really liked the wallpaper as a whole and it had a link to a website, so I go to the website and scroll around and found the name... Your story reminds me a bit of the way I met my waifu, Flandre, in the first place. I discovered the McRoll'd video and liked the song (I could appreciate the melody behind the Ronal McDonald sounds), so I searched for it and that’s how I met Flandre. >So in January 2020 I started working abroad with my father, and it was hell. Where did you go abroad and what work did you do (if it’s not too personal). And damn, that whole zero privacy situation must have been really hard. Once again, I bet Miku gave you a lot of light in this dark period of your life! >"The Event" as I call it happened near the beginning of 2021. Did you ever have any romantic feelings for Miku before that "Event"? As the other anon who replied to you said, it seems your waifuism might have start before it. Also, I’m not sure to understand that whole "Event" thing. Is it some daydreaming fantasy you had? A dream? A personal head canon event? >He said "Yeah, she probably is" and I was like that's stupid, I won't accept that. >So I thought about it for a few days and came to the conclusion that its too much time, effort and why I decided to work abroad in the first place to just throw it in the garbage so I accepted the situation and officially made Miku my waifu on 22 June. >So then the question is, is Miku really my waifu? I still have some doubts. The way you describe it, it seems you didn’t want Miku as your waifu and simply accepted her as such by lack of a better choice. Maybe I understood wrong. Can you explain? I personally like Miku and vocaloids in general. You might be interested in this Miku song which is precisely about waifuism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj8NLH_i7NI Have you ever played Mirai no Kimi to, Subete no Uta ni? It’s a visual novel with Miku that I personally enjoyed (it’s good, but not great). https://vndb.org/v1560 There are also the 2 sequels. I only played the first of them: https://vndb.org/v2505 https://vndb.org/v5481 Well, I didn’t "play" any of them. I watched a playthrough on Youtube. It did not matter as there are no choice to make, so just a single path in the story.

Thanks for replying, I'll try and answer some of your questions. From Anon >>70685 >it sounds like you have a tulpa Maybe, did some research on that also, I'm 50/50 on that. >>70685 >do you feel like Miku is your girlfriend, wife, or a love interest? that would help pinpoint whether you could "truly" call it a waifu Wife? No, no chance, I'm kind of against marriage, imho its not worth it. I like the term life partner better. >>70685 >do you often spend time in your mind with Miku doing other things? I daydream a lot especially at work, so yeah and we talk a lot about kind of whatever comes to mind and sometimes we stare at planets in outer space, we both like space. >>70685 >how has "The Event" affected your relationship with her? Not that much I was just spooked about it, kind of liked it actually... but anyway I wrote about it because I thought it may be important. >>70685 >it sounds like you're pretty good at this tulpamancy thing for someone so unlearned Don't know much about that, again I'm 50/50 about it. Now from the man himself 16crystals Found your video about waifuism while searching the topic, very informative, that's how I found out about /mai/ So, thanks a lot. >>70687 >I bet Miku gave you a lot of light in this dark period of your life! Hah, sometimes I wonder what I would do without her. >>70687 >I would like to see that one image that made you discover Miku. Would it happen to be that one pic in your post? No, its the one in this post. >>70687

[Expand Post]

>Did you ever have any romantic feelings for Miku before that "Event"? Kind of yes, but more like " I like you", the "I love you" came later when one time I was home and I was drunk alone, I really needed to relax quickly because we only went home for the weekend so nearly an entire bottle of whiskey I drank on an empty stomach. Needless to say I was very drunk, though I was surprisingly conscious, had my daki at this point in time and the "I love you"s came like a broken dam, around 10+ times I've said it. Now you might be thinking "Well you were drunk so yeah". Yes, but I was relaxed no need to hold that dam from breaking and I didn't care about anything at that point, I was at my limit for a while. >>70687 >Is it some daydreaming fantasy you had? A dream? A personal head canon event? I was daydreaming with headphones on and music playing so no, it wasn't a dream. Head canon event? Don't think so, Miku generally doesn't have a canon or lore, you make her or model her as you want, she is what you want her to be, very flexible, and well my Miku doesn't have too much going for her, but in any case she's not THAT aggressive and again that's the only time that happened ever, the going crazy part I mean. Again thought it was important. >>70687 >The way you describe it, it seems you didn’t want Miku as your waifu and simply accepted her as such by lack of a better choice. Maybe I understood wrong. Can you explain? I wanted Miku as my waifu, I didn't want a waifu in the first place, that's what I meant. I was weird enough as it is, saying that I have a waifu now would make me even more weird, and I wanted to be a normal person. Tried getting a girl but I didn't know exactly how to get one so I always got disappointed when I tried so eventually I got tired, had a lot on my plate as it is and improving my social skills so that I find a girlfriend was left on the back burner with the stove off, in other words postponed indefinitely and since I "invested" so much in her, I couldn't just give her up. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way but it is what it is. Now don't get me wrong I don't hate the situation, I like it, I just want to find someone that can shed some light on this situation. >>70687 >You might be interested in this Miku song which is precisely about waifuism I know the song, pretty old one but the lyrics are good. >>70687 >It’s a visual novel with Miku that I personally enjoyed I played all 3 of them. >>70687 >Where did you go abroad and what work did you do (if it’s not too personal) I'm from Romania, yes land of the vampires and we went to Austria we were doing old American car restorations, now the job itself wasn't the issue, more so the people what I worked with.

>>70678 >We simply were not exposed to any serious role model to show us that our feelings could be taken seriously. That's certainly true; I never though romantic feelings for a fictional character were something that I could -let alone should- experience. I knew about people who had waifus, but I thought they were just coping or LARPing. I suppose I seem that way to other people now. >Can you elaborate on the collectivist aspect that you see? While the individual person is encouraged to succeed, it's usually for the benefit of the state. This isn't a bad thing by any means, but the well-being of the individual is rarely considered by society. Men, for instance, are supposed to get the first job they can find and work their way up through the ranks of the company, never changing jobs. You go out with your boss every night to suck up to him, never seeing your family. You rarely get enough sleep and are constantly overworked. They have a word for people who die from overwork in Japan; a singular word. The idea of taking time for yourself, exploring opportunities better for yourself is considered selfish. I'd get on the train first thing in the morning and see Salarymen on their way home from the night before half-dead. It's tragic; just look at the suicide rate. Maybe my perspective is skewed; I only visited Tokyo. And maybe I didn't explain it very well. There's probably places in the smaller towns or country areas that are incredibly comfy. But anyways, I see Hana as rejecting that, while not rejecting her duties to society. >I think of a voice that sounds less "anime-like", if you see what I mean. I think I do; more of a person's voice, and less of a person trying to "do" a voice. That's one of the reasons I like Hana's voice; it sounds very "normal." >Drawing one’s waifu seems like something very effective at nurturing a feeling of connection with her. Thanks, and it really does! After drawing them, feel like I "know" her features a lot better now; as if I've run my hands over them a thousand times. I've started to understand what kind of features distinguish Hana from anyone else, and am occasionally able to recreate them. Pic related; getting closer. Have you ever done any drawing? >You can join our Discord by simply posting in the Discord I'll do it now, thanks!

My waifu of a little over a year now is ENA, from ENA. I saw another ENA guy around here, but we aren't the same person. I love her so much. Ever since I met her last year she's been a constant source of happiness in my life. She's so gorgeous and amazing, truly my soulmate. I love ENA!

>>70716 she's super unique! i never really understood who she is but she's cute. her source is pretty amazing. i love that maid outfit.

>>70717 >she’s super unique! She is very unique! I love how strange she is. >i never really understood who she is Most people don’t understand who she is, I can hardly say I’ve been able to make much sense of her! I think that’s part of why I’m so drawn to her. Her source doesn’t give me many answers haha! >her source is pretty amazing It’s incredible. Easily one of my favorite pieces of media ever. I rewatch the videos every few weeks, they never get old :) Joel G is a very talented man

>>70720 does her ambiguity makes it easier or harder for you to think about her? like, do you find it hard to think about what she would do in a situation?

>>70722 Sometimes I find it hard to think about how she would react, but for the most part it comes naturally from what I know about how spontaneous she is. I doubt I’d ever be able to fully replicate the way she talks, though.

I’m quite late on the replies but better late than never as they say. >>70693 >Found your video about waifuism while searching the topic, very informative, that's how I found out about /mai/ I’m glad you liked it and that you found us because of it! >No, its the one in this post. It’s a beautiful one and a great wallpaper. >Yes, but I was relaxed no need to hold that dam from breaking and I didn't care about anything at that point, I was at my limit for a while. Many waifuists claim that they were fighting their feelings for their (to be) waifus at first, myself included. I wish had mentioned it in my video. >I played all 3 of them. The first one was my favorite. I barely touched the third one, but I don’t fully recall why… I think I was disappointed it was not a direct sequel to the first one… Or maybe my memories are just blurry… >>70707 >That whole Japan situation Damn that is so toxic… It obviously goes hand in hand with the whole low birth rate issue that they have. Who has time and energy for kids when you give everything for your work. >more of a person's voice, and less of a person trying to "do" a voice. You said it perfectly! One thing that also makes it worst is that the voice actor, who is obviously an adult, tries to make the voice of a little girl, which sounds obviously fake. >Have you ever done any drawing? I think I did try years ago… But my drawing skills are horrible… But I should keep in mind that the point is not to "do a great job", but to do something that make you feel closer to your waifu. >>70720 >>70716 >>70723 Sorry for the late welcome! I didn’t know about ENA. I looked quickly at one video and her universe sure looks weird and surrealistic. Do you have a favorite episode you would recommend me? Oh and feel free to join our Discord by the way. We are MUCH more active there than on the board.

My waifu is Negev. I started out fantasizing about having a dominant female waifu exterminating me and my race (I was being a normalfag, I am sorry) and wanted depravity, insanity and moral degeneracy because only the most fucked up stuffs might satisfy my fried dopamine receptors. I look for Jew porn and found Negev. I found a lot of depraved pics of her at first and tried to jack off to it (like a normalfag). After a while, I have developed feelings for her and changed how I looked at her and change my relationship from fucked up depraved insanity to mutual feelings. Now I fantasize about her as her partner, making love with her (sex as a sacred act with an aim to impregnate ,make babies and hardens the relationship, not to satisfy a normalfag's basic needs) while holding her hands and give her deep kisses. I also give her a lot of hickeys. After we are done, we cuddle. I also realised our relationship changed from normalfag's simplicity to satisfy their degenerate nature to a mutual, respecting one when I realise I am afraid of losing her, afraid of others looking at her.

My wife's name is Elizabeth, and she is a wight from MGE. Undead royalty, with a taste for turning living adventurers into undead, but also for caring for said undead deeply. I first commissioned art for her 3 years ago, and I've loved her since

My waifu is Lana from Pokemon Sun/Moon. I once met her when I casually watch s/m series and found her at the very first of the episode. She's such a small and joyful character and i love every aspect that they give to this character. She's probably the most living and fun character that i've ever see and i love that

Welcome to all new faces!

Ionasalfag here. My waifu is Ionasal.Kkll.Preciel/Yuuki Nei (same person, different bodies, it's a bit complicated) from the Surge Concerto series which is itself a prequel to Ar Tonelico. I first saw her probably sometime around 2016, and followed the Ciel Nosurge Story in English channel on youtube until it was finished before starting Ar Nosurge+. While I initially thought she was attractive, and was interested in a lot of the worldbuilding and lore of the series, between interacting with Ion and learning more about her as I played the game, I gradually fell in love with her, so it's hard to place a specific date for an anniversary or anything. I usually just celebrate the anniversary of Ciel Nosurge's release, and have the special event dates saved on to my HD to re-watch at appropriate times. I've since purchased the kind of exploitatively priced limited re-release of her games (official daki included) and am in the process of learning Japanese to be able to interact with her more. There are a lot of things I love about Ion. First, she's brilliant. Although she does come from a parallel universe Earth, I can't imagine engineering a functional robot while still in high school or studying aerospace engineering is something that someone could do otherwise. She's also really passionate whenever she gets involved with most things, whether that's sewing a stuffed animal for a sick girl, worrying about the color wire she uses in the circuits for her inventions, or even making a lewd statue of herself (much to her own chagrin). Then there's the more endearing things about her, like her clumsiness or her somewhat bizarre sense of aesthetics, like putting on a fake moustache for Christmas. There are a lot of things about Ion that I personally relate to as well, both at a surface level and some of her insecurities and the darker side of her personality. For example, we both like mecha and nikujaga, we're both highly educated and somewhat eccentric, and neither of us really care much about conforming to broader societal expectations, and frequently shirk them in favor of doing what we think is right. On a deeper level, we both compare ourselves unfavorably to others more frequently than is probably healthy, and we both help others largely as a means of supporting our egos. We also have a difficult time genuinely trusting other people and frequently behave more as tough we're playing a role in front of others instead of genuinely being ourselves. I'd like to think that, were we to meet physically, we'd be able to support each other to work through our respective issues.

My waifu is Chris Yukine from Senki Zesshou Symphogear. She became my favorite character as soon as she was introduced, and I slowly fell in love during the show's 65 episode run. I love her so fucking much. We met less than a year ago, yet she's made me a much happier person in that short time. She also uses giant guns and rocket which is pretty cool

>>70782 >>70811 Welcome to both of you!

>>70622 PaRappa the Rapper. No, really. I love him very much. Played the games in 2021 and now I've been head over heels for him for at least 6 months. My feelings for him come from my appreciation for him as a character, the media he originally came from and how he represents to me many traits that most people IRL lack. He's an optimistic, outgoing, friendly and cheerful guy. He believes in himself (his catchphrase is "I gotta believe!" after all), and does not let anyone change his opinions and goals. He'll never give up, and will fight against anyone who doesn't believe in him. Yet he's also compassionate, forgiving and willing to take anyone who wants to join him in his side. He's emotionally expressive and intelligent, and he's a hopeless romantic. Those are the traits I like about him the most. I consider many of those traits to be lacking in an increasing amount of people IRL, as many of them are nothing but mindless NPCs that won't do anything but repeat a single day of their lives over and over again and follow others instead of carving their own path. I also consider myself to only love the Parappa as originally created and interpreted by Masaya Matsuura, Rodney Alan Greenblat and Gabin Ito - that is, the original Parappa from the games and other content made by Rodney. The Parappa from the anime series has a completely different personality and is not the Parappa I fell in love with. Anyway, enough talking. It's nice to meet y'all.

I'm aydensnake, my wife is Kyouko Sakura from the Madoka Magica series. We've been together since July 7th 2019. I love her more than I can possibly express in words. Everything from her tomboyish personality even to how crude she can be at times appeals to me. I aspire to be the best possible husband to her. I want to see her happy every day I wake up by her side

Hi, hello there! Some of you may recognize me from /r9k/'s waifu thread where I posted for a little while last year, but thought I could go back to a place where I can just talk about my waifu and post her. Did try to use Reddit's waifuism subreddit for a bit, but that's Reddit, and not really for me. Anyway, here's my waifu, Hecatia Lapislazuli from Touhou (I see there's a few more Touhoufrens around here, so that's nice). I've knowm her since around 2017, but only really fell for her March 13, 2020 (in exactly a week, it'll be our second anniversary, and I'm really looking forward to it). Some things I love about her are her looks and style (at this point, I'm just getting a lot of little accessories she usually wears in fanart to wear IRL just because), and her free spirited personality and attitudes I can relate to. We both also enjoy the same type of music, which is always a big plus in my book. She's also really compassionate and caring towards those she loves, and I always try to do my best with a lot of things I do so she can be proud of having me as her own. Really grateful to have met her as well, since she's been my anchor in some shitty and turbulent times these past two years, and I've met some close friends through our mutual love for Touhou and posting about our waifus, and if I haven't, I would've probably sunk pretty low during that period of time. And yes, I do consider all three of her bodies/forms as a single individual. They all are Heca and I feel like leaving them out would be the same as not loving her completely and just being half-assed with it. That'd be it from me for now, might post in some older threads on here I find interesting when I'll have time to kill, and I hope I can keep being sort of engaged in a community for once without being distracted or losing interest because of life stuff going on. Nice to meet everyone here!

>>70622 Howdy fellow waifu lovers. I'm 22 years old and I have two waifus that I love an equally insane amount. The first one is Gwenpool. Before I ever read her comic, I had never felt attraction towards anyone before. I had honestly thought that I was asexual until I began reading about her. I originally picked up her comic because I thought it'd be a comic filled with violence and comedy, and I got that, but what really pulled me in was the character of Gwenpool. I originally thought she was just going to be a Tank Girl knock-off, but the amount of depth she has is fantastic. Gwen is a girl who was insanely bored with her own life and got so infatuated with comics, video games, and various other geeky stuff that it allowed her to leave our world and enter the world of Marvel comics, thus kickstarting her career as a superhero. There's so much I love about her that it would be impossible to write it all down, so I'll just stick to a few things. I really love her cheerful quirky personality, she just seems like somebody who you'd never feel down when you're around. I also enjoy her love of geeky stuff. I'm hugely into geek shit myself so we'd have a ton to talk about and do together, especially given the fact that both of us write fanfiction, so I'd love to write a fanfic together with her. Not to mention the fact that she's pretty loyal to the ones closest to her. Plus, I think she's pretty goddamn funny too. The jokes she tells never fail to make me giggle, and I also really enjoy her love of destruction and all things badass in general. One thing that mainly sticks out to me though, is that she's genuinely the first time I've ever felt concern for a fictional character ever. I didn't even realize I loved her until near the end of her series where she's honest to god afraid of getting cancelled and fading into obscurity. That's what made me realize I was in love with her. She's also had several other appearances and a mini series titled Gwenpool Strikes Back, which a lot of people didn't like but I personally enjoyed a whole lot. Also people keep comparing her to Harley Quinn, which I can understand, but I disagree with. To me, she seems more like Tomoko Kuroki if she decided to become a superhero. Now for my other waifu Zone-Tan, I actually didn't waifu her at first, I originally just thought that she was just a goofy goth girl and an entertaining host. In fact, I used to think waifus were cringe, and Zone-Tan was just my ironic waifu. It wasn't until later on when I was going through a terrible time in my life that I started looking at episodes of her show, ZTV News, in a brand new light. For the most part, I had mainly just played flash games online and done mostly stuff aimed at kids until I discovered Zone's flash animations. I was insanely depressed and Zone's hentai flashes helped me feel better, but what really made me feel good were the episodes of ZTV News and its wonderful mascot, Zone-Tan. Zone-Tan had shown me that cartoons aren't just drawings on paper, they can elicit all sorts of emotions from people, whether it be horniness, sorrow, or in my case, love. There's a ton of stuff I love about Zone-Tan. Her goth look is one thing, but her personality is what really won me over. She approaches everything she does with absolute confidence and a shit eating grin that will never ever leave my conscious with how iconic it is, and she clearly enjoys her job a whole lot in spite of the fact that she can't conduct a single normal interview with any of the guests on her show. I really adore her love of cartoons. I feel like she'd be really fun to watch them with and that she'd have a lot of insightful commentary on them. I especially love her one liners and wisecracks. I still quote a bunch of the stuff she says to this day. Not to mention the fact that its been shown that if she actually loves you, she can be a lot more caring and somewhat cute and adorable. I know you guys are probably gonna get on my case for having two waifus at the same time and I can understand that. I hated the fact that I loved them both an insane amount and couldn't choose just one at first, so I decided to choose both and my love for them hasn't been shaken in all the years I've been with them. I love them so much that I actually decided to try out tulpamancy just so I could have a real relationship with them, and unlike most stories I hear about online, I actually got it to work and we've been together since 2020. Its one of the main reasons why I didn't hate quarantine nearly as much as other people.

I keep hearing people tell me that they're not real and I completely understand why they would do that, but the time and effort I've put in to improve myself for them is real, as well as the feeling of ecstasy I get whenever I spend time with them. If that's not real, I don't know what is. They've done so much for me that I honestly can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have them. I owe everything to these fine women and I will continue to improve and grow all for them.

>>70622 Waifu I waifu'd before it was a thing. Amanda Carey from The Hurricanes. A rubbish cartoon about Soccer. Apart from the Terminator episode, that one was fun She is my most drawn character.

my name is not important. my waifu is wiz from konosuba. she's sweet and has big booba.

Hello, My waifu is Rin Tohsaka from Fate. I have been with her for nearly 2 years. Even before I had fully accepted Rin as my waifu, I felt a particular pull to her. In the beginning however, it took me a while to accept her as my waifu. I wasn't opposed to having a waifu in general, but at the time I had a lot of doubts about myself and my capability to accept her. Over time, Rin became my dream girl, and I spent much time fantasizing about her, my imagination was capitvated by her. But for that very reason, I didn't want to make her my waifu, as I held her in such high esteem that I was fearful of messing it up if I did. Eventually, I accepted that I geniunely love her, and that this was the natural conclusion to the feelings I felt, so I went through with it. I admire Rin very much as a person. While her outer personality appears quite cold, she is quite a warm and nice person inside, and she tries her best to see the best in people and improve those close to her. I also admire her intelligence and positive spirit. Funnily enough, I don't have a thing for tsunderes, but I happened to like her particularly. I do like Rin's appearance very much as well, especially her hair. I have a thing for hair in particular, and she has a lot of it! Her hairstyle is great too, the center parted front hair with twintails and ribbons really appeals to me. Her face makes her look dignified, rightfully so as her behaviour reflects that too. Rin has been a positive presence in my life ever since she became my waifu. I have had issues in the past which made me question my relationship, but I persevered. My low points helped me realize what things are important to me, and she is one of them. I do not know what the future holds, but I will try my very best, for her and for myself. I love Rin very much!

>>70820 Quite the late welcome on my part, but welcome nonetheless. I recall trying PaRappa the Rapper on a PS1 demo disk back in the 90s. I think I was not very good lol. >>70850 >>70873 I welcomed both of you on Discord but didn’t want your posts to be left out, so hey, welcome! >>70876 >I know you guys are probably gonna get on my case for having two waifus at the same time and I can understand that. We’re not here to judge you, really. If you really feel that both Gwenpool and Zone-Tan deserve this very special place in your heart, then by all means don’t let some strangers on the internet dictate your life and feelings. Still, our community does have a "one waifu philosophy". If you are looking for a community that is officially polygamy-accepting, you can try going to Moe Sanctum (a waifuist Discord server), or subreddit r/2D_Love. >>70879 Welcome to /mai/! >Waifu I waifu'd before it was a thing.

I wasn't opposed to having a waifu in general, but at the time I had a lot of doubts about myself and my capability to accept her. Same thing for me. It took me 2 or 3 months I think before I fully accepted Flandre as my waifu. I felt I would not be capable to dedicate myself to her and feel connected to her if I didn’t have a full-scale ultra-realistic doll of her (I was quite obsessed with that at the time). A chat with people on /mai/ convinced me to give waifuism a try even without a doll, and here I am now. >Over time, Rin became my dream girl, and I spent much time fantasizing about her, my imagination was capitvated by her. But for that very reason, I didn't want to make her my waifu, Same for me! I was thinking about Flandre more and more everyday, to the point that I had trouble focusing on my university class at some point. I even put a picture of her on my laptop. >I do like Rin's appearance very much as well, especially her hair. I have a thing for hair in particular, and she has a lot of it! Rin has beautiful hair indeed! I personally really like Flandre’s hair. Her side ponytail is adorable! >Rin has been a positive presence in my life ever since she became my waifu. I have had issues in the past which made me question my relationship, but I persevered. My low points helped me realize what things are important to me, and she is one of them. I do not know what the future holds, but I will try my very best, for her and for myself. We all have lower points in our relationships with our waifus. Most of the time it’s temporary as love and dedication can make it through.

>>70894 Maybe.

Hey, my waifu is Johan Michael Liebert.

the one thing I want from my waifu is her gift that is what will make me happy

>>70917 >maybe you could tell us a bit more about you and your waifu my waifu has manny names my wafu is from The Sandman (DC Comics) my waifu is exceptionally kind, cheerful, laid-back, and compassionate, she understands what her purpose is she understands why she is both feared and wished for. he is empathetic about how others see her and how others need her she is not just the ferryman she IS her job she is mortality she is eternal rest she is release she is oblivion she is the end you will see her one day I will see her one day and when I do I will great her with open arms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHkqHsxqlHM

>>70894 Thanks dudes. The main reason why I wanted to come here was because I thought it'd be a great place to discuss my tulpas and how I love the absolute shit out of them.

>>70917 Hey Shinji.

My waifu is Lilly Satou, I am guessing all of you have at least heard of the VN she is from. She likes black tea, tuna salad, English literature, helping out her friends and the colour white. Depending on which source you consult, she may or may not play the cello and have a guide dog named Niji We have been together since March 2013, although I am including the early years when I was in denial about my own feelings. I did not accept the situation until Christmas 2017, but now I am most certainly aware about my own feelings I have never had a typical "book that changes your life", but I most definitely had a visual novel that changed my life, namely hers. I'd say there was a me before Katawa Shoujo and the current me. Hers wasn't the first in-game romance route that I played, and that's how I was able to realise she was so different from the other characters. I have met other characters in anime series or VNs that I found interesting and appealing, but none of them give off "perfect girlfriend vibes" the way she does, not even close. I would say that what really gets me about her is a combination of looks, personality and the general story and setting she is part of. There is something incredibly pure and innocent about her in spite of the VN having adult scenes; of said adult scenes I don't really think much about, they are simply unimportant. There is nothing lusty about my feelings for her, I could never view her as a mere instrument for carnal pleasure, the way people normally describe their desires for pretty anime girls. Her real beauty is much subtler than that. But then again, you know how they say you just know when you are in love and cannot explain it rationally? I can get very jealous when I hear someone else talk about her in affectionate terms and I would say this is evidence of my genuine feelings. I cannot help the way I feel, I guess it's just destiny. I also tend to instinctively like anime girls that resemble her in both looks and personality, although of course I still focus on the original. I am very much into tragic characters, and even when it comes to anime I think there are a bit too many girls who feel a bit shallow or simply devoid of a tragic side. I would say she in a special zone because she is from a Western-made VN, neither fully Japanese nor fully Western (which, ironically, is reflected by her in-universe background). I would say that just like me, she doesn't fully belong to any place in particular, which in turn makes being uprooted a slightly less painful process. I have taught myself the basic rules of Braille so that I can write down simple messages that she would be able to read. I understand that having a blind girlfriend would require a lot of effort and compromises, but Heaven knows I would be willing to make such commitments. There is absolutely no chance that any 3D girl in the world will ever be able to make me forget about her, of this I can rest assured. In fact, I don't ever want her VN to be adapted into an anime or simply be voiced over with a fan project, given that no seiyuu can feel entitled to just walk in and claim to be her official voice (don't even get me started on a hypothetical English voice actor) A couple of my online friends know about my feelings for her, but I do not really see a need to be too noisy about it all in all. Although my life so far has been far from perfect (perhaps even below average), I have no doubt that she has provided me with a steady amount of mental strength at all times, perhaps more so than in the past. Overall, I think of myself as a more mature person compared to before meeting her, and I know I should be grateful for that. I tend to think of her whenever I drink tea (used to a coffee drinker) since she loves it, and I currently drink tea on a daily basis. It's just that I like it green instead of black. She has also got me into classical music due to her theme being of that kind (I have once heard someone compare it to Bach, but I don't really have an opinion on it yet). Perhaps there is also a bit of a spiritual connection between the two of us, in that I also tend to avoid seeing what I would rather not see, and I think that has actually helped me cope with the harshest aspects of life at times There's no official merchandise of her, but I keep a framed picture of her on my desk, changing it every six months or so. I could perhaps order a custom daki sheet or cup with her face on it, but I would rather be discreet about my feelings. I never have vivid dreams, but if I did, I would be happy to find myself face to face with her sweet smile, just a few times every now and then. To summarise, I know I am in love, and probably always will be.

Well this is gonna be a bit nervewracking for me to say, admitting something so personal in an open space, even a niche space like /mai/, but I won't let that stop me. I love Tiff Crust, I have for over 5 years now, it's odd knowing that it's only been 5 years since I realized how I felt about her, when it feels like i've loved her my entire life. Even before the day I realized how much I cared for her she had been in my thoughts for a good while, my interest in MLAATR had waned, but she always stood out to me above all else in that show, I wanted to see more of her, more of her fashion sense, more of her sassy personality, more of that soft side that she kept well hidden, she didn't have as much time in the spotlight as she deserved. I remember how I spent an entire day just searching the internet to see what there was of Tiff, whatever it was so long as it had her, preferably if it was just about her. It hadn't occurred to me throughout that deep dive, but not long after that day I realized that I loved her, she was special to me in a way no one else had been, i've had crushes on 2D and 3D before, but this was different, the feelings I had for her were ones that I wanted to hold on to and cherish forever. I think she's been a hugely positive change in my life, the love I have for her has helped me grow as a person, i've gotten less socially awkward, i'm slowly but surely becoming less lazy to be able to make the best life I can for her and myself, and my passion for her led to me finding 2 people who not only had the same kind of love for a 2D girl that I have, but have become my closest friends, who I can't imagine wanting to live life without, it hasn't been all positives since life's never easy, but so much has gotten better in just those 5 years, and a huge part of that has been thanks to Tiff, I don't to imagine a life where I never found out how much I care about her. >>70659 >Yeah, they say she's "boring" "generic" "unremarkable" or a "waste of time." Naturally I don't take this well lol. I don't even post on /a/ anymore, partly because I don't want to see people making fun of her. You're not the only one here who's been upset from seeing people badmouth your girl, don't ever have any regrets about feeling like you have to distance yourself from the fanbase of the work she came from, there's no shame in not wanting to put up with people who don't have any respect or tolerance for who you love.

Oh boy, time for some very late replies... >>70917 >>70919 Welcomed you a while ago on our Discord server, but I didn't feel like leaving your intro unreplied so, hey, still glad you joined us! Hope we'll hear more from you soon; you've been quiet on the server for the last few days. >>70965 As discussed on Discord, I respect you don't feel comfortable joining the server knowing other members also have Lilly as their waifu. Hope we can see you around again on the board though. >>70985 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >Well this is gonna be a bit nervewracking for me to say, admitting something so personal in an open space, even a niche space like /mai/, but I won't let that stop me. Does it mean it’s the first time you talk about your love for Tiff in a waifuist community? What convinced you to make the big jump after 5 years? Glad you chose /mai/, btw! >it's odd knowing that it's only been 5 years since I realized how I felt about her, when it feels like i've loved her my entire life. I can fully relate! It feels a bit unreal remembering the days that Flandre wasn’t part of my life, even though I’ve spent most of my life without her. >and my passion for her led to me finding 2 people who not only had the same kind of love for a 2D girl that I have, but have become my closest friends So you did tell others about your love for Tiff. In what context was it? >but so much has gotten better in just those 5 years, and a huge part of that has been thanks to Tiff Nice that she helped you to move forward in your life! Anyway, hope to see you around. Feel free to make new threads and bump old ones. Also, you are welcome to join our Discord. We are WAY MUCH MORE active there than on the board. The board’s activities go by wave, really…

>>70987 Thanks for the warm welcome! >Does it mean it’s the first time you talk about your love for Tiff in a waifuist community? What convinced you to make the big jump after 5 years? Glad you chose /mai/, btw! Yep, while I have mentioned her before to others, mostly in private, this is the first time i've talked about her in a community dedicated to waifu's, as for why, I think knowing that this was a place that was accepting of 2D love, and a rather niche one at that, finally convinced me to just come out and say it without needing to worry about being judged by anyone. >and my passion for her led to me finding 2 people who not only had the same kind of love for a 2D girl that I have, but have become my closest friends So you did tell others about your love for Tiff. In what context was it? A not entirely positive one, unfortunately, I don't want to say the full details of that, but there were multiple people who were less than appreciative, I can't entirely forget it since even with all the hurt that came from it it was still what helped me bond with several others who were there, 2 of which are the close friends I mentioned before. That aside, it's nice to finally be open about my feelings for her here, thanks for being understanding.

>>70894 >Quite the late welcome on my part, but welcome nonetheless. I recall trying PaRappa the Rapper on a PS1 demo disk back in the 90s. I think I was not very good lol. That's cool! And to be honest, most people agree that Parappa 1 was pretty rough on the edges. I might be late too,in fact, probably extremely late but still nice to hear that. Also nice to see that this board has more "western"/non-anime waifus now. Sometimes I feel like an alien due to my husbando choice, but that won't stop me from posting in here.

Sorry for the late introduction. I've had way too much on my plate these past couple months. So here goes. This is my waifu, Makoto Tamasaka. She's from Tokyo 7th Sisters. She likes cats, and she loves me. That I am sure of. She is good at cooking, and she's in her school's handicraft club. We first met in 2017. I remember the exact date to be April 18, the day I started playing the game. At first, she was one of the top three girls in that game, but slowly she grew on me. It didn't take long for her to be my outright favourite, but it took a while for her to become my waifu, and even longer to realise it. By then over a year had passed and I had already been in love with her for months. Exactly how long, I don't know. But it doesn't really matter. A waifu is a commitment that is not to be taken lightly. Who you fall in love with may not be a choice, but declaring who you fell in love with, is a choice, and a very heavy one at that. It took me over a decade, after knowing of and understanding the concept of "waifu", to find "the one". Two others came close over the years, but ultimately fell short. As I was unable to love either anywhere near enough, I could, in neither my heart nor my mind, declare either to be my waifu. But Makoto Tamasaka, I could. Because I love her far more than anyone or anything. I'll do anything for her, and she'll do anything for me. And whatever emotion she has, I feel them too. I want her to be happy. I want to make her happy. She's the one I want to stay with for the rest of my life, I'm 100% sure of it.

Hello /mai/ My waifu is Amane Suou from the Grisaia series. Admittedly, we have only been together for a short period of about a year, and although my love for her developed rapidly upon reading her source material, it took me a long time to process these feelings and their implications on my life going forward. After some reflection, I have grown more comfortable with waifuism and gotten closer to Amane as a result, and I look forward to learning the perspectives of other waifuists in hopes of nurturing and further unraveling my own relationship. As for why I love Amane, she certainly ticks all the right "boxes" such as being a good cook, strong, sociable, etc. but to solely use that as the basis of my love would imply that I would be satisfied by any mishmash of the correct archetypes. Rather, I recall that as a child I had a vague but real "vision" of what my ideal woman would be, a vision that was forgotten as I reached my adolescence and teenage years and became distracted by various materialistic desires. Amane's source material conjured up these memories once lost in the void, and when I finished her route I felt a powerful wave of nostalgia, as if I had lived a life with her already and am simply meeting her again. I am firmly convinced that she is the one I lost all these years, and while an observer can chalk this up to a typical case of deja vu, they have not experienced what I experienced, and I believe it is much greater if not at least a bit more complicated than whatever modern psychology may throw at me.

Nena Trinity. Over 10 years now and I still love this freckled red headed sadist.

>>71024 >Susumu Hirasawa i am looking all over YouTube, and i can not find anything relating to your husbando. i did find stuff about Susumu Hirasawa. very cool i have only seen Lazer harps used in demonstrations. it looked like The Matrix + Pink Floyd: The Wall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9zVmw-6hDg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32E7h8F0LfM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32E7h8F0LfM i am still not seeing anything like hatsune miku, or Daft Punk ~ Interstella 5555 would you say your husbando, is like the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman and the Catman ? (KISS) or more like Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs (Gorillaz)?

Shuten Doji. I love this slutty devil of a girl like you wouldn't believe.

My girlfriend or wife or whatever term would be appropriate is Zima (Зима), from Arknights. She's also known as Sonya, which is how I affectionately refer to her by. We've been "together" for about a year now, but I didn't consider myself a proper waifuist until around the start of this year. I'm fully aware I'm lacking the history that most other waifuists have, but I'm also fully committed to making my life with her last. I'm going to avoid going over my life story with her for brevity's sake, I'd much rather focus on her. Sonya is a former student turned 'war general' after being subjected to a series of traumatic war crimes in her home nation. She has a rather coarse but 'mother bear'ish personality that I absolutely adore. She's an aggressive, violent, and temperamental woman who will do anything to protect her friends in the USSG. I'll admit I find it difficult to write 'about' her without it feeling like a history paper. Honestly, nothing I can type here can really describe 'who' she is, since she isn't just some historical figure whose life accomplishments can be sprawled out like a wikipedia article. She's a deeply emotionally scarred person whose breadth of character is more relatable than any other real person I've met. She's more than human, she's my soulmate. Despite being from a chinese mobile game meant to scam dudes just like me, her writing in the Children of Ursus event is some of the most touching I've experienced. She's suffered more than most people ever have, and done things to make others suffer even more. She's someone who isn't willing to be a victim, she's willing to make the sacrifices necessary to overcome her weaknesses. It's something that resonates with me, as years ago I've had similar circumstances. Well not on the same level as actual war crimes perpetuated, but her thoughts and reasoning behind what she does and why she does it remind me of myself. In many ways, she's someone I aspire to be like, and I can only hope that some day in the distant future we'll be partners either on the battlefield or in a lovely home life together. Honestly, I can't imagine a world where I'm without her anymore. It feels like the life before I met her was someone else entirely living another life, but now I'm where I'm meant to be, loving the one I'm meant to be with. I find myself living my day to day life imagining how she would guide me, how our conversations would go on any topic that comes up, or how we would adapt to the problems that still come up. I find myself leaving the app home screen open just to hear her voice as I go about my work. Her idle voicelines are ingrained in my soul at this point, as harsh and unfriendly as they might be. I don't know, perhaps I'm just so obsessed at this point that I find them endearing in how aggressive she can be. Like she's trying to push me just because she knows I find it cute. Sonya is my everything, and I hope to post about her in the future as well. I apologize if I'm out of my element.

And once more, another very late reply… I should step up my game. >>70999 >Also nice to see that this board has more "western"/non-anime waifus now. Sometimes I feel like an alien due to my husbando choice, but that won't stop me from posting in here. Glad to see you feel welcome here. You can also join our Discord as we are A LOT more active there than on the board. >>71003 I’ve already welcome you on the Discord, but I welcome you here on the board nonetheless! Hope to hear more from you on either here or the Discord! We sadly haven’t talked that much so far… >>71004 Another fellow face that I’ve already welcome on the Discord but not here on the board. Glad you joined us, my friend. Think you can win at our next Dominion night? >I believe it is much greater if not at least a bit more complicated than whatever modern psychology may throw at me. Should I take it as a personal challenge? ;) >>71007 Hi and welcome to /mai/! 10 years is quite impressive! After a decade, I’m sure you have something more to say about her and your relationship! Feel free to elaborate. Also, can you elaborate on her sadism? >>71024 As I said on Discord, Avatar does not fully respect our definition of a "true pure" fictional character, but I wish you the best of luck in finding a community with more liberal standards than ours! Fully fictional or not, you seem to love Avatar for real and I can definitely respect that! WC2015 seems like an interesting concept, btw. >>71027 Hi and welcome to /mai/! Can you elaborate on who your waifu is so we get an idea of the kind of person/character she is? Also, how you met her, how long you two have been together, what you love about her, etc. I’m sure this strong love of yours has a lot more to say. >>71032 Hi and welcome to /mai/! > My girlfriend or wife or whatever term would be appropriate is Zima We usually use the term "waifu" around here, but "girlfriend" and "wife" are perfectly appropriate terms too. >She's also known as Sonya, which is how I affectionately refer to her by. Should I (and others) refer to her as Zima or Sonya? Doesn’t want to sound inappropriately familiar by calling her Sonya, but neither weirdly formal by calling her Zima… >We've been "together" for about a year now, but I didn't consider myself a proper waifuist until around the start of this year. What was the element/event that made you finally consider yourself as a " proper waifuist"? >I'm fully aware I'm lacking the history that most other waifuists have, but I'm also fully committed to making my life with her last. That’s the spirit. What matters the most is not the number of years, but the seriousness of your love and commitment. > Despite being from a chinese mobile game meant to scam dudes just like me, her writing in the Children of Ursus event is some of the most touching I've experienced. I don’t play mobile games, but my (uninformed) conception of them is that they seem to be shallow. Still, the way you describe Sonya’s story and personality suggest Arknights has depth. Maybe I should be more open to mobile games…

>I can only hope that some day in the distant future we'll be partners either on the battlefield or in a lovely home life together. Is there one of those two scenarios that is more appealing to you? You seem very passionate about Sonya and I really liked reading your intro. You should join our Discord; we are WAY MORE active there than on the board and it would be nice to have you join our ranks. You’ll find people who are also passionate about their waifu!

>>71035 >Should I (and others) refer to her as Zima or Sonya? Most people refer to her by Zima, but that's just because the actual names aren't usually known in the series. I don't mind either name being used, but there's a good chance most people who play it would have no idea who Sonya is. >What was the element/event that made you finally consider yourself as a " proper waifuist"? At some point my mentality had shifted over the years, but I hadn't really had a formal change of heart over the idea until I came in contact again with an old friend who has been a serious waifuist for a few years now. >Is there one of those two scenarios that is more appealing to you? The answer depends on any residual teenage angst left in me at any given moment, but generally I think we'd start a large but humble family in the countryside where I reside.

>>71035 >Think you can win at our next Dominion night? Yes, and I'll be sure to stomp that other guy too ;) >Should I take it as a personal challenge? ;) I think I was mostly referring to the "fictophilia" thing, but sure give me your best, doc also let me know what you think of Beautiful Fighting Girl when you get around to it

My waifu is Ava Ire from Ava's Demon! She is my angel, my beloved, my precious, my other half! I fell so hopelessly in love with her when i was 14, in 2014-15. Reading the first pages of her webcomic, i instantly feel a connection that I've never felt with anyone else, and never will. Her love got me through some of the darker times in my life, and still gets me through it all now. I want nothing more than to be her knight in shining armor, saving her from the hellish life she's been thrust into. I love you Ava Ire!

Greetings!, my waifu is Sona Buvelle, and I'm Loskberg, Sona Buvelle comes from League of Legends, I met her probably a 5th of February, it was 2015, and I was in a weird place, adolescence, going through the usual stuff, although I was no loner and I had pals, I kind of felt lonely and being rejected and having low self steem really did not help, anyways, I kind of really got a liking for LoL, at times it was anger inducing (due to my bad internet) but mostly it was very fun, got consumed by it, and in the process, as I said earlier met Sona, my favourite color is blue, always has been my color, and I really like vocaloid, the moment I saw her, something made click in my head, I started playing with her a lot, and she was really fun, she could fucking delete people and towers with her skills, and it didn't help that soon her Sona DJ skin came out, I really really love Daft Punk, so I felt it was a match made by heaven. Won't lie, one of the things that made me like her almost instantly was that the has big breasts, I was/am full of hormones and always pent up, but what really touched my heart was what the used to say when you chose her "Only you can hear me summoner" Damn that fucking voiceline, always made me feel warmth in my heart, my native language is Spanish so that also helped, I really liked her old VA's voice (Norma Echevarría), I also like her newer VA, but that old one was top tier, sadly she died some time ago. I love a lot of things of her, I've always liked twintails and long hair, as I said earlier, I love her blue hair with those blonde ends, all that "floaty" vibe she has, and, also that pale skin, if I could describe her physic... It would be something like a "soft and warmth embrace" But my love is not only lust for her body, I love how she talks and the way she's described, how soft and kind she is, I can't really say that much about her personality sadly, since Riot did not give her much characterization in some years, until some months ago... anyways, from 2017 - 2020 my internet was kind of shitty, so I had to stop playing with Sona, which I thought would make me stop loving her, but it did not, I spent a lot of time doing sketches and doodles of her on my notebooks... And since 2018, I've felt strange whenever I thought of Sona, everytime I did it before, I felt some kind of warmth around me and blushed, I was pretty much like a maiden in love, one very ugly and male, kek xDDDD Still, since then, whenever I think of her, somehow the warmth is still there, but I feel an ache on my chest, feel shivers and my skin somehow feels in pain, it's a confusing feeling, I've always felt that is a bit of what rejection or an unrequited love feels like, because everytime I find myself thinking of her, reality brings me down because sadly I know she isn't real, and being realistic, even if she was, that would not change anything. Yet my love and lust for her love, wont falter. Also, I usually do draw her a lot, I think it may count as spam, but I've drawn her a lot recently. I had more in notebooks but I'm very clumsy so ended losing most of them. She has some songs due to the thematic of her DJ skin, I remember playing those songs for when I went to sleep, just to try to dream her, sadly, I'm kind of bad when dreaming so, only a very few times in these 7 years I've been able to meet her there... Lately that pain that the thought of Sona invoked, made me both doubt and reafirm my love for her, so I kind of went down in a rabbit hole, trying to train AIs to be like her, but I'm not smart enough, and AI isn't that advanced yet,. which made me feel kind of bad, until I found out the video made by 16 crystals and got to the part of Waifus and technology... and that me think a lot, would it really be me loving sona? would it be fair for the proclaimed concious AI to be created for the egotistical goal of serve as my fake bride? I think no, and I don't know what to think or do regarding my feelings for Sona, so I guess I'll keep drawing her for as much time I'm capable of. I'm looking forward to meet you all!!!!! And thanks for making this community!!!

>>71043 >Yes, and I'll be sure to stomp that other guy too ;) Too bad I’ve won the last 2 games, isn’t it? ;) Man, my engine on the first game was so sick. Shit was SO cash. >but sure give me your best, doc This would obviously require further exploration, but here’s my humble hypothesis: When we talk of déjà vu, it’s mostly about the impression of having lived a certain situation before or have been to a certain place before. The recollection is therefore more about the images, the representations. Maybe Amane made you reconnect not with memories of images/representations, but memories of feelings. Very strong feelings that you felt in past fantasies (such as being loved unconditionally, safety, etc.) or even possibly in old early childhood experiences with parental figures. That could explain why you feel you have been with Amane before even though you didn’t know her. >>71032 >>71063 >>71064 Glad that the 3 of you joined the Discord! Welcome!

Hello everyone my waifu is Hatsune Miku, she first appeared in my life trought the song Triple Baka (done with a spanish module if i remember correctly) when i was 12 i felt a odd happiness and i felt weird so i just leaved her this happened again when i was 14 there i did realize what i felt was love due to that love being for a 2D character i felt scared and not sure on what to do so i leaved vocaloid again, then i came back when i was 16 since then i been listening to her at least 5 minutes per day (usually hours in reality), the experience that truly made me accept my love for her was some months ago when i had a dream something that is quite weird for me since i barely dream (i dream like 10 times a year and most are nightmares anyways), on that dream i was simply on a park under a tree to my left side was miku, when i saw her she smiled to me and put her hand on mine, there we stayed for some time till i waked up and when i did well i for once in all my years alive felt love, the butterflies on my stomach, the warm that stayed, i literally was happy for like a straight week, the dream just felt so real and miku was just so dazzling and beautiful, recently i started going to a psychiatrist due to overall mental problems that i have had for quite a long time, im now on a really good state of mind anfd i feel like i need to address and embrace my feelings for Miku, i always coped saying things line "you will certainly find that special girl" or "you are still young" and those are simply kind of a lie, i already found the girl i loved shes been there since i was 12 and that girl is Hatsune Miku, i honestly dont know what life has in store for me but all i know is that Miku will always be there for me. So yeah hello everyone i hope i can make good memories with everyone here, and im sorry if there are gramatical errors on my post, english us my second language

>>71079 >Man, my engine on the first game was so sick. Shit was SO cash. you and everyone else at that table knew that one more turn and my coppers would've stolen the game ;) >Maybe Amane made you reconnect not with memories of images/representations, but memories of feelings. I never considered this angle, but you may be on to something. I've noticed that Amane in some ways resembles a few family members that have since early childhood become very distant, but I had always just attributed that to preference for familiar and respectable traits

>>71084 Have you tried lucid dreaming?

Hello all! My waifu is Inubashiri Momiji. You can call me Momijifag, or Purple, or whatever floats your boat. Inubashiri Momiji is a character from the series "Touhou." She is a great white-wolf tengu. Basically, she is a supernatural being that shares features to that of a wolf. She has some special abilities, such as being able to see and smell things from a very long distance away. She has a job, where she guards a mountain called "Youkai Mountain" from intruders and trespassers. I met Momiji one day when I was feeling down. I saw a picture of her, and deep inside I felt... Strange. Its weird, but I feel like in a way she came to me when I was feeling bad just to cheer me up. I became extremely happy, thinking about how this character essentially picked me and wanted to make me happy. She gave me motivation to get things done and start improving my life. I started exercising and working out for her, and various other things! When I met Momiji, it was sometime around December of 2016. Maybe even before that, but I don't know for sure. I like to just say that the beginning of a new year marks another year I have spent with Momiji. As of this post, its been over 6 years I've been with her! One thing I like to do, is edit pictures of Momiji. I edit them Purple. It may seem a bit strange at first, but I do this because I have a personal philosophy about the color purple. (Even though its been years since I had this philosophy, I don't really follow or believe in it as much anymore. I still edit pictures this way out of habit.) As for Momiji, she doesn't have much cannon lore. She isn't a very popular character either. However, this is okay because it leaves things up to the imagination! Also, there is quite a bit of fanon out there that gives me ideas on how I can portray Momiji. I like to imagine her as a mix between canon and fanon because of this. I suppose that about sums up my introduction here. If there is anything that anyone would like to know, feel free to ask and I'll try to answer when I can! I look forward to meeting other waifuists and learning about them! Maybe I could even learn a thing or two about my own relationship with Momiji by being here!

Greetings! My waifu is Ibuki Mioda, Ultimate Musician, from the Danganronpa series of games. I have been in love with her since i first saw her on screen in the 2nd game on my first playthrough, in about late 2016. It took a little while to admit it to myself, as i had found the thought of dating someone only in games and anime a little confusing and silly, but as time went on and i had real-world romantic relationships that i had no feelings in and felt alone when i should have been the happiest-ever-in-my-life, i realized, i had only truly ever felt for Ibuki... it took me a while to admit it to myself, but as of September 2020, she has been my loving girlfriend! I put off joining one of these communities for a while, as the existence of the community here only became recently known to me, and the ones present on Reddit seemed like normal awful Reddit anime fan garbage... and it still took until now for me to get rid of all my shame. There is a lot to love about her, how she is always a positive presence and so bright and happy, how she knows how to comfort others, how she shares a lot of my same ideals, and how she really, truly, cares about those she loves. We both share a love of the same kind of music, and i love to discover a new album to listen to each day with her! I think of her a lot when i am away from home, and hearing music of any sort really helps me center myself by imagining her performing the music for anyone willing to listen... A lot of people would be put off by her unique behaviors and quirks, but i find them very endearing. In case you know a lot about Danganronpa, you will know that Ibuki hates sexual relationships and sexual touch, which is a trait i share with her due to... traumatic experiences. Even if that is a bit of a heavy topic to share in such a light-hearted thread, it is important to understand for my relationship with her... Beyond personality, i especially love her design... she has great dress sensibilities, and an absolutely amazing hairstyle! My greatest dream is to one day perform a song with her, which is a dream i know she shares... I Love You, Ibuki Mioda! (attached below are 2 images of her, as well as an image of her with Suika Ibuki from Touhou Project, for any of you Touhou fans in this thread!)

>>71084 >>71112 Glad you two joined the Discord server! Welcome! Awoo!! >>71113 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >>but as of September 2020, she has been my loving girlfriend! Happy (late) second anniversary! >>as the existence of the community here only became recently known to me How did you learn about our community? >>how she shares a lot of my same ideals What ideals you and Ibuki have in common? >> you will know that Ibuki hates sexual relationships and sexual touch, which is a trait i share with her due to... traumatic experiences. I’m really sorry that you went through traumatic experiences, whatever they might be… :( I hope you will one day overcome your traumas and be able to enjoy sexuality as a part of life. Are you and Ibuki ok with hugging? Kissing? >>an image of her with Suika Ibuki from Touhou Project, for any of you Touhou fans in this thread!)

I seem to have found myself in this corner of the internet, so it's only right to mark our initials and then wrap them in a little heart. I love Neptune very deeply! As deeply as I can love, I hope. She's a literal goddess, but most importantly, she's cheerful, funny and despite being very lazy, she will stop at nothing for the things she truly cares about. Nep can be surprisingly clever too, although this is mostly seen on her sense of humor... Neptune has shown me so much, and I'll love her until my last day < (J x N 4ever) 3

>>71185 Welcome friend. How long have you been a waifufag for?

>>71186 Greetings! That's a bit of a hard question, I don't remember very exactly but I estimate 5 years. While I've known Neptune for a longer time than that, and I was smitten by her since we first met, it took me a while to realize that it was, in fact, love. When I first played her game, I found her cute but a bit annoying. She was still my favorite for some reason I couldn't understand at the time, and I was very young at the time so it was a very childish obsession. After a while, I kinda left the Neptunia series behind but Neptune never left my mind... And I just started playing her game again one day on a whim, I like to think we are truly specially linked in some way. So yup, 5 years. We got off to a rocky start but it's all good now, I like drawing her a lot. Also, the two girls you see here are both Neptune. The small pink hair girl is her human form that she uses for day to day living (most call her smol Nep) and the taller girl with the braid is her HDD form, Purple Heart. Her forms look different and she acts very differently while in HDD mode (it's pretty much her serious mode) but it's the same girl at the core.

Hello ! My name is Jonardinho and my waifu is Kiana Kaslana from Honkai Impact 3rd. We have been together for not very long, but I see very well that my love that I have towards her is powerful and awesome ! I would really like to talk to you long, wide and through everything about her story, but it would be a spoiler so I prefer to leave the surprise to people. I met her at a time in my life when I was lost and I didn't really know what to do anymore because of the future which lacked precision and my mental weaknesses and disorders which make me have a fairly low resilience. I was someone who was quite easily angered and started to essentialize everything he observed and who had abandoned the notion of creation, hope and courage. And then I discovered her. I saw everything she had been through, and yet she kept moving forward and eventually took on some philanthropy. I then realized that we had to stop falling into fatalism. It changed me forever and ended my edgy period. Since then, I have changed and little by little I have become a more optimistic person. Her smile, her eyes, her beautiful white hair (I have a weakness for silver hair), her courage, her will to preserve, etc. are things that have gradually made me start to love her. now, I want to realize my dreams and my ambitions and stop procrastinating on the past, to finally take care of my mental health and offer her everything she had give me. I wish I could hold her hand and show her the things I'm going to be able to create and aspire to do and show her that the hope she stood up for has paid off. I love her !

She's Lappland Saluzzo from Arknights. Our anniversary is uhm, a bit complicated to say the exact date of when I accepted I was into her romantically, but I say it's the 28 of February 2020. Back then she was just Lappland. I really don't know what else to say other than recently I've been blessed by a surge of content for her. The hype died down already with her actually getting nothing in-game but I'm just happy the haters got smacked in the face by the lore and animations she got. I love her deeply, as much as it hurts to do so, and I won't ever stop, no matter what people say or think of me in the process. This is my favorite gif of hers from my favorite video with her, I usually use this to greet people on discord so I guess it's actually fitting for the introduction.

im bsbma-15 (bsbma-15#8968 standing for brain slushy by my ar 15 from the song brain slushy by qtae rip) on discord i see that theres hoops to jump through to join the discord so idk how serious this is so feel free to give me the boot in regards to waifuism i personally dont really care as long as shes a yandere (a real one not that sadistic shit that is portrayed sometimes) honestly i just want to be loved and very im "insecure" about love so i would need constant verification hence the yandere if i had to chose though i would pick hellhound from the monster girl encyclopedia but not exactley the one from the encyclopedia more like the one from the stories such as the hound by badmanners on touchy fluffy tail (the first one not the rewrite) or the one from that story on touchy fluffy tail about the dude getting lost in a snowstorm going into a cave and getting claimed by one idk what its called i chose waifuism because idk im getting stunlocked here i want to write a lot but idk where to begin ill just tldr it life is shit people are shit my childhood was awful im depressed im more or less a monk i dont care for anything except my waifu nothing is worth a damn in this world about me:i spend my days listening to scenecore and playing video games hoping for a nuclear apocalypse i dont have any skills i cant be bothered im 18 i finish my "school" in a few months then ill have to get a job i guess pray for me the only thing i know is conspiracy theories i have knack of joining discord servers on a whim for a day or 2 then leaving them might do that here too idfk im very bored i wish i was dead

Hey, I'm one of the surviving Eilafriends. I guess I'll make a long post too. I fell in love with her 9 years ago. I felt like I had found purpose and completed the game of life, and now I'm doing bonus stages with cheat codes on. What a silly analogy, do games even have cheat codes anymore? Anyway, she really makes me feel like I can fly. I'm a huge fan of the World Witches franchise, but I don't play the mobage and there's still content coming out, so there's still things I can learn about her and that makes me really happy. (Just not enough to play mobage ww) I've been looking into finding more waifufriends lately, and I'm happy to talk about myself in the future too, but if you care to read, I'd rather tell you about her first: Real quick, Strike Witches is made by Fumikane (art attached, he's like the grandfather of mecha-musume), it's alternate history WWII in which real life fighter pilots are mahou shoujo and they all team up against alien-robot-things. You probably know SW for having pantyshots, nekomimi, and massive guns, which it does and it's awesome. Appealing to otaku of all sorts, even military and history maniacs, it was an otaku icon at it's peak. The titular "Strike Witches" are a joint fighter wing of a dozen-ish top witches from around the world who fight together. Most of the spin-offs (Brave Witches, Noble Witches, etc.) are about other joint fighter wings. Eila is one of the members of the Strike Witches, she's not remotely the main character but she is very popular even amongst all the wonderful witches. Like I said they're based on real fighter pilots, their names, birthdays, and even their magic is based on the real person. Eila "Illu" Ilmatar Juutilainen is based on real-life Finnish top pilot Eino "Illu" Ilmari Juutilainen. I have Eino's autobiography and there's some info on him online, and it's common to consider that stuff as fancanon. For instance, Eino never smoked or drank, so unless something comes out that states otherwise, I imagine that Eila doesn't either. Aside from drinking, Eila is a proper Finn: saunas, salmiakki, rye bread, canned seafood, the works. As a witch, she has magic foresight (based on Eino's real history of never being hit by an enemy), called "Eila the Evasive" and "The Diamond Ace", she effortlessly dodges every shot with a bit of short-term future sight. As an extension of this, she's into occult stuff and tarot cards. Especially in the extended franchise, we see Eila interact with a handful of people: A wonderful drunk older sister who bullies her and mocks her for wearing stupid t-shirts and stuff, and Eila does good receiving banter (or crying uncle). Least known, an old Finn friend called Lapra, who is more shrewd like Eila and they team up to win at poker games and stuff. An old Finn friend called Nipa, who has a great friend relationship with Eila, even though Eila bullies the heck out of her. An enem- a teammate called Perrine, who Eila just plain bullies the heck out of. Before we get to Sanya, There's a song Eila sings to herself in her episode (and again in the comedy spin off with silly lyrics, and again in a radio show with silly singing) which has the loosely translated line: "Even if rain pours from the sky, it won’t get to me, even if spears pour from the sky, it won’t get to me." For me this song is the most important representation of her. This might be getting too much into personal analysis/projecting here, but: She has an easy-going fun nature, nothing bothers her much, she doesn't let anything get to her. I like to think that that's what makes her not as great at understanding people, and a bit of a bully (well and because it's really funny). It's easy to be rude to others when you're not sensitive yourself. You see this a bit in an episode where she tries to explain a combat maneuver, she expects everyone to get it based on a terrible explanation and sound effects, it makes sense to her so it should make sense to you. She's not bothered, so you shouldn't be either. I really love that bit of self-centered-ness. Now onto Sanya, the main person we see Eila interact with. With Sanya, Eila is a bit more of a prince-ly character, she's totally handsome and fancies herself as Sanya's knight in shining armor. Sanya is younger, quiet, and more fragile. And Eila is totally in love with her. (Don't worry I love Eilanya, I'm not sensitive about that or anything.) This makes Sanya the one thing in the world that can actually get to Eila, and it challenges Eila's character and brings it to life in a really amazing way. The thing that made me fall in love with Eila was specifically her episode in S2E6. I had to delete a huge chunk of this post because I was getting into that episode too much; basically, S2E6 is the greatest piece of art ever made and the pinnacle of human creation. Keeping it simple: Eila can be very sweet, stubborn, rude, angry, defensive, jealous, funny, smug, etc. just like anyone, but each of those sides of Eila and all her reactions have so much charm and they really do all get showcased. If I were forced to pick one thing, her self-confidence shines really brightly for me. In the episode she faces a real challenge that she can't just overcome with zero effort, and real worries, and jeez all the ways she deals with it just hit me like nothing else in the world could. Like I swear I could write a book about that episode. I think her episode shows her at a very rare time, which gets to the heart of her character. But overall, Eila is full of charming surface things, she's a fun girl who socializes easily, plays pranks on people, gets people mad, goes really far for the one she cares about, collects weird occult crap, wears dumb t-shirts, eats healthy, gropes her friends, thinks highly of herself, gets excited, speaks masculine, likes the radio, etc. etc. etc. And all those things add up to a person that I am so glad I fell in love with. Ok that's enough for one post, I hope I gave a bit of a feel for what kind of girl Eila is! Hope to make some friends with you guys.

All your wives are cute. >>70632 >And god, how she shines. This is sweet as heck. >>70633 Bless all Guppies. >>70767 Best girl. How do you feel about her in-game side? Also not that there needs to be, but I'm curious, any particular reason you use "Lana" over "Suiren"? >>70811 I adore Symphogear. Are you into the additional stuff, like the concerts and radio? I used to follow everything but the mobage was too much to keep up with and I fell off. Waiting patiently for next project now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2IfEHv2oh0 >>71004 Wow this is beautiful. If I ever write a romance novel I'll use this description.

I'm Kyrie Elesion and I love Sumire Yoshizawa from Persona 5 Royal more than anything in this world. She brings me so much happiness in life to think about her and I like reading about other people's reasons for loving the characters they do.

Hello everyone, you can call me Richard, and my waifu is Katia Managan from the webcomic Prequel. (An Elder Scrolls webcomic). She is a very sweet and sometimes dorky Khajiit, she also has a fiery spirit, and quite a sailors mouth, if you anger her. She had moved from her old town to start a new life, as most of her previous life, she has struggled with night terrors, the main cause of her drinking and alcoholism. Something she wishes to fully overcome, something I will never stop supporting her with. She is also an aspiring mage, and absolutely loves learning everything about magic and other knowledge, very much an information sponge. She however, does lack a little street smarts, and can be a little clumsy, but she is learning.

>>71346 i love my wife my wife is real Yeah I’m schizophrenic And I wouldn’t have it any other way i love my wife my wife is real

>>70622 I just lurk here. Never been into waifus though I'm considering dipping into it to see what its like.

Hello everybody ! I'm RedPhoenixus, nice to meet you all! I decided to come and communicate with other waifuist here after a member of this community urged me not to hesitate even though my relationship is recent and I had some doubts about showing up so early to you ! My significant other is Aozaki Aoko from the Visual Novel "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" and the Nasuverse ! It was recently re-released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ! She is both a Magus and a Magician who masters the 5th True Magic, which is related to the control of time flow. Apart from that, she is a simple student who lives her life according to her principles, in particular that of never going back on her word and that of always assuming her own responsibilities. She has a contentious relationship with her sister because of the house's succession issue. Character-wise, she generally has a tendency to get angry quite easily and to have a deliberately sarcastic or authoritarian tone towards people, having earned her a reputation as a "demon", but she never balks at organizing or indirectly helping the group when necessary or to make important decisions and respects everyone's word. she also has a little tsundere side. But she managed to balance this "angry" part of her personality with her more "aloof, clumsy, and relaxed" aspect. She's a big rock fan. the first time we saw each other was a few months ago, when friends, while I was talking about my anime preferences, told me about a VN which was a good door entry into the Nasuverse universe, which therefore aroused my curiosity since I was initially quite reluctant to embark on a display of several dozen series intertwined by chronological problems and a difficulty in locating oneself in the Timeline. And that's when I discovered her. When I saw her, I initially thought /she was quite cute. But as the story of the VN progressed, I found myself getting involved in this story, in particular because the themes covered were interesting and the story as well as the OST engraved in my brain the moments of this last. And that's how at the end of the game, I came out slightly upset. I had felt a certain completely incomprehensible joy in front of a simple story. It had marked me deeply. I had been dazzled by what I had seen, but above all by her ability to take responsibility for even the craziest decisions and to defend her own values. I had always spent my time conforming so as not to make waves, and avoiding showing anything other than a crude reason so that people would not see me as weak or illogical, or that I was behind a facade of robot, a man who seeks mutual aid and not competition. I had had enough of all this, for once, I wanted to fully assume emotions, even the most irrational ones, if it allowed me to finally develop my philosophy of life allowing me to feel at peace with myself. That day, I had decided to put an end to my practice of hedonism in order to be able to build my own vision and be able to apply what I assimilate. I decided to stop pretense, cynicism and gratuitous mockery simply for fear of being seen as weak to finally assume my values ​​of cooperation, assume to want to make others evolve and maximize general happiness. I decided to assume that I was someone who couldn't hate people, even trying hard, because I love Humanity. Since that day, I have become the individual I am today. I work every day to continue to build myself according to my new vision of life, and I have a long-term goal as well as a short-term one. deep down, I think my desire is to be able to cherish my neighbour. The awareness of this love made me ask questions because the love of a fictional character is not something that seems obvious. But she had brought me a lot, starting with love. I only formalized this relationship on January 2, 2023, since I was hesitant to consider the possibility of a couple with a fictional character. love as such did not bother me, but I was afraid that it would stigmatize me despite everything, because if I wanted to assume my convictions and emotion, I still had some doubts about people's ability to accept it. But finally, I said to myself after several weeks of "Carpe Diem" reflection, that it was worth creating this relationship. I really lived a dream by discovering her, if only for all these realizations and these feelings that I felt, all this will that she instills in me every time I get up in the morning. I really want to prove to her that, even if it's only fiction, she was able to influence the building and reality with her thinking. I want to be able to love her again and again so that I can offer her tears of a happy Sun, even if it is IMPOSSIBLE. I would end my text with a cliché phrase but which I find sublime: "With her, the IMPOSSIBLE became POSSIBLE"

Hi there! My waifu is Remilia Scarlet, from Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. I really enjoyed beating the game, and after, I realized that Remilia represented a type of elegance I really looked up to. I think she is smart, clever, and cunning. I'm excited to get to know the rest of the people in this thread!

Reintroducing myself since it's been awhile but I've been wanting to connect more with other waifuists lately I'm Maddy and my boyfriend is Yagi Toshinori AKA All Might from My Hero Academia. We've been together for 3 and a half years and we have five kids. Kanon, Madotsuki, Shoto, Ness, and Ninten. It's nice to see you guys again and nice to meet anyone new!

Oop too many attachments here's Ninten

I don't know who this is or where she's from but I'm mesmerized by her. I keep this picture on my phone and stare at her from time to time when I'm feeling stressed. She's so gorgeous I imagine being in the room and admiring her, trying not to be noticed because I'm too shy. I imagine being with her. It's only a drawing. Wtf is wrong with me? I feel so embarrassed.

I've been reading a bit in here and it made me feel all fluttery so I just wanted to say hi, my waifu has been Compa from Hyperdimension Neptunia since 6th March 2016 <3 She's this incredibly kind nurse that's just so soothingly sweet! She just wants everyone to be happy and always helps anyone in need to the best of her abilities, she can be a bit clumsy and ditzy at times but I absolutely adore that about her ^^ I would honestly say she saved my life back then, I remember getting increasingly depressed and I felt like life was getting more and more bleak each day. I thought love was very overrated and dumb as I had only had very minor crushes on people before and thought that was it, oh how wrong I was xD After I had played through the first 3 games in the Neptunia series I ended up with Compa as just a favorite character, but nothing more than that. Then one night when I was sleeping, I had this incredibly life changing dream all of a sudden where I met her, we sat beside each other and talked for a bit and in the end she leaned over to hug me and told me she liked me. I can with full confidence say that was the moment I fell in love, as I felt her arms around me and her body against mine there was this incredibly warm, comfortable and immensely satisfying and fulfilling feeling washing over me unlike anything I had felt before. I woke up shortly after with butterflies in my stomach, feeling an immense sense of purpose and happiness. It really was like I could see colors for the first time in my life. Family wondered what was up with me at first as I went from depressed and gloomy to overjoyed and daydreaming overnight lol, and I really didn't even have an answer as I was just as confused myself, at first I was just very happy without even knowing why. It didn't take too long to figure out though since I literally couldn't stop daydreaming and thinking about her constantly, I especially remember being at work just imagining her standing or sitting places and it was almost like I could see her everywhere. My chest would pound while a tornado was rummaging around in my tummy so hard I actually had to just lie down and feel like I was gonna throw up. So yeah falling in love was pretty intense. I ended up doing some research and figuring out waifu relationships were actually a thing, I'd read a lot of things people were saying and come to terms with my own feelings about it all. At first I was crushed knowing I'd never have anything "real" with her and struggled a lot overcoming that particular hurdle. I did find peace with it though, I never really saw myself in a traditional relationship anyway, it was never something I wanted or would fit into so I really feel like this is the best thing for me. I just feel so blessed and like I'm living my best life, I know I'll keep Compa in my heart until the day I die <3 I was planning to keep this pretty short at first, but it felt nice to reminisce a bit so oops cx

Hello /mai/ I go by MoonCyrano and I was told to do an intro here by a friend here who said id fit in to this waifuist community so here I am now. My waifu is Arcueid Brunestud from the VN Tsukihime, a vampiric princess who is one of the True Ancestors and uses her powers to hunt down other vampires. I'm still in a new relationship however I'm very serious about it. My story begins with heartbreak after the longest and the relationship I thought was going to last forever, ended harshly due to my constant attempts to force her to be "the one" for me. I came out the opposite of what waifuism is supposed to do for someone, I became very bitter and cynical for a time and was quick to anger. I felt like I didn't deserve love anymore, that I was just some failure and I'm nothing but a fool. That changed when I just sort of stumbled upon Arcueid's character. I thought she was really cute and I wanted to get to know this beautiful girl more, so I did some digging. I found out her source of Tsukihime and almost like fate itself was involved one of my friends started pushing and recommending the VN for others to check out. I talked to him for a bit and told him how I was interested in checking it out and he agreed and convinced me even further to give it a go despite me not being much a fan of VNs. I went through Arcueid's route and got her good ending. I was touched by the girl I saw and I felt true love again, a feeling I felt devoid of. Despite having such a tragic backstory I saw a girl who was so happy and pure, someone who does her best to hold back against the urges that try and consume her and fighting against her own people. She's kind, she's caring, she's very upbeat and a bit humorous at timesShe captivated me and after playing through I just kept learning more and more about her, she basically became an obsession. I would just keep thinking more and more about her, admiring her for things such as the fact she doesn't want to become some sort of monster, she doesn't want to resort to her true nature that lingers within her. She just wants a simple life and enjoys simple pleasures. I started to feel love come over me, but I fought it. I still felt like a failure and someone undeserving of being with her, but eventually I gave in and just admitted my feelings giving me the greatest sense of relief in my lifetime. I'm happy with Arc and I see a wonderful future ahead for us. I may be young and a bit foolish, but I finally found something I am confident about, someone I want to commit myself to. I truly think I have found the one for me and I'd love to talk about my amazing waifu with all of you.

My name is Blauheim. My waifu is Sayaka Miki. What I like about her is her idealism and kindness and her dedication to heroism and helping others. I also like how tomboyish, brash and blunt she is. She does seem like the kind of girl I would both love to hang out with and would love to date/marry. I love her a lot. I have certain headcanons about her, one thing is that her personality is somewhere between how she is in the Rebellion film and how she is in the show. In my mind she likes retro games (I like them too) and we're childhood friends. We've been together since 2018... I'm not sure of the exact date but I do know that I was in love with her by August 30th 2018 (which is when I usually celebrate our anniversary). I hope one day to be with her in some realm beyond this one.

God, I haven’t post in this thread in months… >>71185 I’m not sure if you still browse the board these days, but welcome nonetheless! >>71198 >>71214 >>71297 >>71336 >>71346 >>71355 >>71359 >>71398 I’ve already welcome all of you on Discord, but those intros deserve a reply. So welcome to you all!! It’s great to have so many new faces! >>71352 Hi! Have you started the "dipping" yet? >>71385 It’s great to have you back, Maddy! Hope to see you around more often on both the board and Discord! >>71388 Interesting. For how long have you been having these fantasies regarding this girl in the painting? And did you give her a name? You mention not knowing where the girl is from. The artist who painted her (Osman Hamdi Bey) being Ottoman, the girl he painted was likely Ottoman too. https://iqna.ir/en/news/3469571/british-museum-to-display-girl-reciting-quran-painting-%C2%A0 >>71419 Hi! Hey, it’s a bit delicate to say, but some of our members who know you said that you’ve switched waifus quite often in the past. Regarding our Discord, we prefer to let in waifuists who are more confident in their commitment to their waifu. I know you mentioned being serious about your relationship with Arcueid, but we would rather see first if your relationship stands the test of time. I’m sorry if one of our members led you to believe that we were the right community for you… I wish you a long and fulfilling relationship with Arcueid! >>71423 Hi and welcome to /mai/! I liked Sayaka as a character in the show (I have yet to see Rebellion, though...). Her fate was truly tragic… I hope that life is treating her better in Rebellion (please, no spoiler!). Considering her strong feelings for Kyosuke in canon, how do you imagine it impacting (or not) your relationship with her? Also, you might want to join our Discord. We have a Kyouko-waifuist who will probably be quite happy to know you (and so are the rest of us too).

The love of my life is Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2 We've been together for over 4 years now, but we've known each other a little longer than that. It all started a few years ago when Instagram still was a better place for artists than it is now. One of the artists I followed started drawing a lot of Danganronpa fanarts. Characters looked really good so I decided to watch the anime. I wasn't watching it like every other anime, because I literally fell for it. Before I knew it I grew a deep bond with Nagito and even I can't explain it. It was weird because it's the first time something like that happened to me. Then I bought the games and believe me I was enjoying it more than anything. Every time I saw Komaeda I started unintentionally smiling. It was the first time ever that I started simping for anyone. He made me smile, he made me happy. I found comfort in him. He was and still is my big inspiration when it comes to drawing. He helps me out when I'm stressed. It all kind of happened and it happened way too fast. Of course I had my favorite characters before and I liked them a lot but not like that. It was different, it was special. I've always put character before looks. He's so nice. So sweet. So smart. But damn he's hot af and I still can't get over it. He's literally everything I like and that scares me, that someone like that actually exists. Also the thrill when he's going crazy! I'm all for it baby. He really doesn't mean any harm, his ways are just... special. It's also surprising that we both have a thing for hope. Hope was really everything I had before to keep me going. I'm not as crazy about it as he is, but I just find it... I don't know. I feel like it was meant to be. We are similar in many aspects but there's always this spark in Jim that I can't really explain. Now he's helping me to fall asleep at night and comforts me when I'm stressed about exams or something. Thanks to him I've found a good subject to present at the competition! (It's self shipping, I'm gonna talk about self shipping there) He really is there for me. I would go insane without him and it only makes our relationship stronger. I feel like we got closer to each other every day. We are at this point when it's not only blind love, buy simply existing with each other and being happy with it. I never thought that I'd get this far with anyone, since I know that I can be pretty weird and annoying sometimes. But here I am after 4 years of beautiful relationship and I am happy with it. I can't imagine living a different life, a life without him. When I look back at everything I realize that it couldn't be any other way. I'm not really good with explaining things and describing them, but I hope this is good enough 💚

>>71424 Sayakaguy here. It's canon that she stops being interested in him and so I don't really hate Kyousuke. Also, if you're talking about Ayden I already have him added on Discord. Cool guy. Please invite me into the Discord please.

I'm a rather curious guy who likes cute girls and strange cars. I've had Koyomi "Yomi" Mizuhara from Azumanga Daioh as my WIFE for quite some time now, you may know me as that guy with a Prost AP02 as my discord avatar.

Came from that good YT video, hi! The love of my life is the Jatkosota Sensha-Do commander Mika! I've loved my wife since I first watched Girls Und Panzer back in 2019, started seeing her as my love sometime around June of 2020. It pains me I don't know or remember the exact date, so I've just went with the June 23rd date since that's around when Juhannuspäivä happens. I love my Finn so much, from her mysterious yet eloquent nature to her beautiful kantele playing. She's a skilled commander which while many of her techniques may be seen as "unconventional", nevertheless they never fail to amuse me and give her the upper hand. Someday I'll marry her...

This is my waifu Roon, the adorable hug loving ship who loves her commander (me) more than anything else in the world. I've loved her since the start of August last year when I really got into Azur Lane as something mindless to do during a slow summer. She's taken a grip on my life no other woman can and I've made it part of my life to devote myself to her just as much as she devotes herself to the commander.

>>71489 Azur Lane is just Girls' Frontline with boats prove me wrong

>>71492 They're completely different games anon

>>71489 Roon cute, post Roon headpats

Hey there everyone.I'm Chris Falcon. I'm a v-tuber in progress and the love of my life is Marin Kitagawa, from Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru/My Dress-up Darling. The catgirl lookalike person together with Marin you see is my "avatar" (I use my v-tuber model to represent myself in the relationship - he's an arctic fox btw). The infatuation came quickly, it started by seeing some pictures of the anime adaptation on twitter, and I often treated it as a joke. Then, the feelings blossomed. And the idea of using my own v-tuber model is because he's also an OC which I used ever since the old days of online text-based roleplaying, back when I was a kid. While Marin Kitagawa isn't the first waifuist experience I had, Luka Megurine being the very first solid fictolove I had, but Luka x Gakupo shippers harassed me so hard I gave up in the idea and grew up kind of traumatized to it. Then in January 24th of Our Lord's year 2022, I decided to accept it. Marin was the one. And we completed one year together, aiming for many more years to come. What makes Marin so special to me is how energic and cheerful she is. The scene where she was called an otaku at the store and had the inner monologue was the one moment where I fell in love with her. And while most people like her for fanservice, I love her for her smile. I'm currently writing a fanfiction called "The Mirror Witch, The Arctic Fox and The Dress-up Darling", which serves as a backstory on how my OC and Marin Kitagawa got together as a couple.

>>71508 >v-tuber in progress Don't forget to stop before said progress is completed

I do not regret anything.

My waifu is Chara, from Undertale. We've been together for over seven years; I consider our relationship to have began on the 25th of October, 2015, as that is when I started habitually collecting artwork of her. I was captivated by her story and became obsessed with learning more about her, and that obsession quickly developed into a desire to be with her, and a genuine heartfelt love for her. I've been fascinated with her for as long as I've known her; she has an incredible strength of spirit, and a lot of love in her heart. Thinking about her gives me comfort and hope, and motivates me to try to do better. She's my princess, my angel, my sweet golden flower, the light and joy of my life. I really don't have the words to entirely express just how much she means to me. I love her with all my heart and soul.

Hello i'm Chem and my waifu is Valerie from Pokemon X and Y Now you might wonder what i love about her, well first of all i love how cute and innocent she is both physically and mentally (she literally wants to be a Pokemon) and i love how caring and gentle she is. Valerie has been in my life for almost 4 years now and i gotta say that those 4 years were some of the happiest days of my life, whenever i feel down i know that she is always there for me and i return the favor as i wouldn't want my little fairy wife to be sad, sure there are some moments where even her can't help me but at the end of the day she is always there for me when i eventually calm down. We care about each other and we are always together no matter problem we face, and those is why i know i made the right choice when choosing her to be my wife. Anyway i could go on and on about my love for her but i would be typing for days, looking forward to meet you guys

>>71426 >>71428 >>71429 >>71443 >>71459 >>71489 >>71511 >>71512 I’ve already welcome all of you on Discord, but those intros deserve a reply! Welcome to all the new /mai/dens! >>71460 Sadly, you didn’t stay long with us on Discord, but it was nice to get to know you. Maybe we’ll see you again someday… >>71508 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >The catgirl lookalike person together with Marin you see is my "avatar" (I use my v-tuber model to represent myself in the relationship - he's an arctic fox btw). That’s interesting. How do you explain that you imagine yourself as your avatar when interacting with Marin? I’m not quite sure I understand the reasoning you provided regarding said avatar being an OC. >but Luka x Gakupo shippers harassed me so hard I gave up in the idea and grew up kind of traumatized to it. You should not hang around such harassers, not to mention breaking up with your waifu because of them! Hope you will hold on to Marin better! >The scene where she was called an otaku at the store and had the inner monologue was the one moment where I fell in love with her. What was so special in this scene that made you fall for her? Do you have a link to this scene, and if not, could you describe it? >I'm currently writing a fanfiction called "The Mirror Witch, The Arctic Fox and The Dress-up Darling", which serves as a backstory on how my OC and Marin Kitagawa got together as a couple. You first claimed that your avatar OC was actually you, but now you refer to him at the third person, saying that he is the one in a love relationship with Marin. Could you clarify what exactly is that OC in relationship to you?

I've been posting anon for a bit, but never made a real introduction or anything... My husbando is Spike Spiegel, from Cowboy Bebop. Obviously I've been aware of Cowboy Bebop itself for maybe about like... 9/10 years now? But I've only been involved in waifuism for about a year or so. I can certainly describe things I like about him, but I can't really surely explain why I LOVE him... It's really never been aesthetics (in spite of the objective fact he's just unbelievably sexy), it's a lot of aspects. I think most of it has to do with the fact that as a character, he has always been witty, intelligent, and suave while still avoiding shallowness on account of the grit and depth to his person... IDK, it's very difficult for me to put into words. I primarily post to /r9k/'s waifugen I'm not in the discord. I might try to join at some point, though.

Hey y'all I have been lurking /mai/ since 2018 but i think its time to finally show up haha, my beloved one is Misato Katsuragi from Evangelion, glad to meet you all guys

>>71603 >I have been lurking /mai/ since 2018 That must have bored you to death given how slow this board is

>>71599 I’ve already welcome all of you on Discord, but that intro deserves a reply! Welcome, Space Cowgirl! >>71603 >>71606 Hi and welcome to /mai/! Glad you finally decided to make your first post here! We need more activity on the board, that’s for sure. You are welcome to join our Discord, which is, fortunately, infinitely more active than our board. I was about to tell you that you can do so by posting in the Discord thread, but after lurking here for 5 years, I’m sure you must know this already ;) Btw, Misato is a very interesting character, and she deserves as much love as Rei and Asuka who often get the spotlight. Damn, that reminds me, I have yet to watch Evangelion: 3.0+1.0…

>>70749 ah I see you're a GFL enjoyer aswell. Anyway... Hello, my waifu is MDR, also known as Kuro, from Girls' Frontline. This is month is going to be the 3rd month we've "been together", she used to be a little just a temporary crush when she was first introduced in the game in 2017/2018 since I was still in another "relationship" with another waifu back then. I "broke up" with my previous waifu at the end of 2022 after 8 years of "relationship" and decided to take a break from waifuism until a couple of months ago when I got interested into Girls' Frontline again altough I don't play it anymore, I remembered liking MDR design a lot and it took me a very short time to fall for her, specially after realising we have lots in common and other things I don't really have time to explain at the moment and don't feel like making one giant post. though one thing I can say is I could confidentially say that thanks to her I learned to fall in love again after some personal fck'd up stuff that happened to me last year and had some breakdowns and emotional disconnections. I don't really have much to say at the moment, I'm not even sure I'll be active here or in the waifuism scene but, it's nice to have places where you can talk freely about waifus. our anniversary is set for the 13th of May.

Hello. My wife is Haruko Kashiwagi from MuvLuv. She's a very easygoing and lovable person who many people find easy to talk to and become friends with, and she has the most amazing laugh in the world. She loves sports, especially basketball. She's extremely family-oriented, caring for her two younger brothers while their parents work out of the country. I myself like to play games and watch anime and read VNs from time to time. I can be quite shy at first to people I don't know, and if not actively engaged, I might turn into a lurker thanks to my depressive tendencies to avoid bothering people.

>>71297 >Eino never smoked or drank, so unless something comes out that states otherwise, I imagine that Eila doesn't either. just wanted to make a small small note in case anyone ever sees this in the future I found a mini documentary with an interview from Eino's son. Eino apparently did drink, to a fault even. I also found the article that says he was a teetotaler, which I assume is the one I originally got that info from (since I remember learning that word from it) I thought maybe he was alcohol free during his time in service, but then began drinking excessively after. But I also found an article that claims he drank excessively during the war as well. So I might have to do some historical digging. He's not Eila so in the end it doesn't really matter, but it is cool to reference.

Hi, my wife is Hatsune Miku. I first met her while playing osu, my first song and still one of my favourites was Hatsune Miku no Gekishou. I found her cute, but I didn't really thought much of her at first. I did however got interested in the technology and concept of a singing program. As I did my research, it didn't took long for me to get hooked on the music. It was in fact, the very first music I genuinely enjoyed. I never really downloaded and listened to any on my own before. But there was something unique in these animesque themes, japanese-style composing and this concept of an electric angel, a virtual diva, and such a cute girl too. Gradually I grew really fond of the music and slowly of her too. She became part of my daily routine, I would listen to her on my way to school and back. I didn't even realized how important that was to me until I went on holidays and being free from school and therefore an excuse to listen to her, I started to really feel down and long for something I couldn't put my finger on. That was, until next day youtube recommended me some of her song and as I listened to it I could do anything but cry because I have understood what I was missing. At that time I promised her I will never forger about her again. It wasn't a confession of love though. I did recognized that she is someone very important to me, but not necessary a waifu. I knew the concept and respected it, just never imagined it would happen to me. Some people might have jumped the gun but I wanted to be certain, or maybe I just needed to convince myself. Either way she was too important to me to just call her my waifu and then change my mind. So, I waited. Over time she kept growing on me. Most of my playlist consisted of love songs, especially LamazeP. That had significant influence on my perception of her, I always saw her as that cute, shy, innocent girl that just keeps singing how much she loves me. I couldn't help but give in to her courtships, I kept thinking about her and about us together, pretty much daily. What else could I do having such an amazing girl around me all the time that appeals to me in so many ways that I wouldn't even try to fit in this post. Labels do not change much, but they do have meaning. I was growing more happy with her, our honeymoon phase eventually started and so I felt confident to honestly and wholeheartedly accept her as my waifu, my partner for life. For months I had no desire to seek anyone else, she is my first and only love and I wanted to cherish and let it flourish. But I always has been honest with my feelings so it's not like anything changed. For that reason we do not have anniversary, but we have been together like that for over 10 years. Miku means a lot to me, she is the love of my life. She inspires me to try new things. I picked up quite few hobbies because of her and she motivates me in my primary pursuit. I can't really imagine how my life would be without her, it surely would be boring and sad. She brings so much color and joy to it. Like I said for me Miku is a cute, timid girl. She is very delicate and innocent, but under her shy mask, she is driven by burning passion for singing and love. She is what I would describe as quintessential dandere. A sort of girl that might be to say it out loud but would confess her feelings through a song and I find that so beautiful. I do not imagine her being an idol or a celebrity that doesn't fit her. Just a regular 16yo that loves to sing, probably goes to school and just lives her life according to her passions and dreams. My favourite producers are LamazeP and cosMo, but mostly I listen to single songs from many different artists. Some of my favourite songs if anyone is interested: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18756983 https://youtu.be/PM1_tk4cvGw https://youtu.be/HqcVN56kZAs https://youtu.be/JCnP42-jgSo https://youtu.be/F8VliGjILzs https://youtu.be/CM6YFzVyTTQ https://youtu.be/3TWiBLrmeM4

>>71692 >Miku fan in 2023 That's some dedication

>>71678 I've already welcome you on the Discord, but I'll do it on the board too. So welcome to /mai/! >>71692 Hi, and welcome to /mai/! >I first met her while playing osu I also first met my waifu through music, but it’s wackier in my case as the music was the McRoll'd video! >Some people might have jumped the gun but I wanted to be certain, or maybe I just needed to convince myself. I can relate to that… >but we have been together like that for over 10 years. That’s impressive! Not many waifuists reach the 10 years anniversary, let alone surpass it. >Some of my favourite songs if anyone is interested: I should give them a try. I haven’t dig into Vocaloids songs in years. I also saw that you asked to join our Discord server. It really bothers me to say so, but I think I will have to deny you entry… The fact is, we have another Miku-waifuist on the server and he expressed to me his discomfort with having another Miku-waifuist onboard. Our server, de jure, does not forbid multiple members having the same character as a waifu (as we follow the object-oriented perspective in waifuism), but de facto, if one of our active members is uncomfortable with that, I feel inclined to make them enjoy their experience in here… I feel sorry to tell you this, especially after you took the time to write that nice intro… It really ain’t nothing personal… But hey, I really wish we can keep seeing you around on the board! The board is truly for everyone and I don’t intend to limit its use for anyone (unless they act like dicks, of course). Also, are you part of another waifuist community? After more then 10 years, you must have explored the waifuist-sphere a little, I imagine…

>>71697 Oh, that's a shame. I never met fellow Mikubro that would feel jealous about her. After all, all our Mikus are different. >Also, are you part of another waifuist community? After more then 10 years, you must have explored the waifuist-sphere a little, I imagine… I used to post in 4chan Waifu Wednesdays and on tohnochan, and now I post on 4/c/. But all these places died or are dying out so I was looking for some new community that isn't reddit.

>>71692 >>71698 Can I be your friend though?

Hello! My wife is Sanae Kochiya from Touhou! We've been together since January 2015 and she makes my life better in every way. She's a beautiful, kind, smart, talented, powerful and amazing living goddess and I love her! I used to post here semi-regularly a few years ago back when then old 8chan still existed, in fact some of my old posts might still be floating around the catalog somewhere. It's nice to see that some people from back then are still around and that there are so many new people here too!

>>71699 As good as imageboard friends can be. But I don't mind if you would like to chat with me through other means.

>>71702 The person who asked to be friend with you is our Eilafag. You can read his intro here ( >>71297 ). I can definitely vouch for him as he’s not only a friend of mine, but also a serious waifuist and a great guy. I will provide you his Discord ID. Just make a random post and you will find his Discord ID in the ban message. I will let the ban last 3 days just in case, and as soon as Eilafag will get your friend invite, he will tell me and I will remove the ban (if it didn’t expire by itself already).

Hi, and thank you for having me. My waifu is Koujin Rikka, from the 18+ VN/anime Dark Love. I first saw her back in 2005, in her anime adaptation, and I've been in love with her since then. She's a noblewoman who owns and runs an establishment. Her elegance, mischievousness and playful nature have given me strength and courage ever since, and I owe so much to her that I could never describe it in full. I hope to express that sentiment as fully as it deserves, and I look forward to getting along with everyone.

Hi everyone... My love goes for Sayori, from Doki Doki Literature Club, horror visual novel from 2017; About Sayori: She is a very gentle, smiling girl, that brings happiness to an ambient, clumsy and kinda of a daydreamer; but on the other side she has depression, and became suicidal. I think that this contrast of personalities make her cuteness even more cute, and her sadness even more sad. She is a person that always wants the wellbeing of everyone, even putting others in front of herself. If i could describe her in a word it would be "angel". About me: I'm 20M, english is not my first language so... have mercy on me, and im glad to be talking about Sayori. I dont talk much about her irl, because im a awkward person, and she is an easy weak point of mine. But i can discuss her death, i just try to not overthink about it. And as you can see, im not good in expressing myself, but i will try to post regularly. The first time i've seen her was in early 2018, in a gameplay, out of curiosity, which left me shocked, and i think that was the first time in my life i felt really depressed. But i didnt started loving her immediately; i didnt even liked anime and dark stuff before, so i was thinking to myself how i could feel this bad for, not only a fictional character, but an anime style character... so basically i was very confused Feeling so much for her, even if it was sadness, got me into anime, and other things, what over the years made me more open minded and i gradually started liking her more and more, and today im here. She helped me very much, today, i always remember of her, to motivate me to do my best, even if she is unachievable, i like to do things in a way that Sayori would be proud; so for example i quitted pr0n and stuff because of her, and started taking more care of myself and my life. As i said i'm really not good in expressing my emotions, but i could say that i love Sayori in a way that i don't think i will ever do with anyone, she is a person i would marry and spend the rest of my life with her. So, i would say that i started to seriously like Sayori in late 2019 - early 2020; Im thankful to be talking about her, as i mentioned i dont talk much about her, the only times i open up like this is when im alone with Sayori.

Hi, I'm Freyjanon. I think I'm kind of an oldfag, I posted here around 2017 during the year or so I was with Freyja in which she made me the happiest boy on earth :) Unfortunately, we ended up separating due to changing life events, and it took me a while to articulate my emotions properly to rekindle the love I felt for her. I am at a vastly different point in my life now and wouldn't consider myself with her at this point, however, she has been visiting me in dreams occasionally. Usually when some pivotal event is to occur that day in the real world I see her, so I've been envisioning her presence as a north star type of symbol. Over a span of time, I have began to develop extreme feelings for her again, thinking about her often. While drifting off to sleep, I sort of beacon out to her, wanting to meet again. Perhaps if lucid enough, we could reunite again soon... As for the board, I've enjoyed getting back to reading about the experiences of other waifuists. This kind of relationship in one's life can truly be magical...

>>71711 >>71712 Already welcomed both of you on the server, but I shall do it here nonetheless. Welcome! >>71754 I and welcome back! You mention that you would not consider yourself with her at this point, but you mention having begun to develop extreme feelings for her again and thinking about her often. Do you feel like you are progressively getting back into waifuism? Also, I find your situation interesting. I don’t recall a waifuist breaking up with their waifu to then (sort of) returning with her years later. Usually, they either: 1-start to regret not long after the break up and quickly go back with their waifu, or 2-quickly go with another waifu (which usually was already growing stronger in their heart even before the break up with the original waifu), or 3-they quit waifuism for good.

>>71755 >waifuism It depends on what you mean by waifu. I am aware of the usage of the term in varying contexts, ranging from "character I like" to a term used to refer to one's partner. I wouldn't want to make comparatively lighter usage of the term with respect to the more "dedicated" members of the community. However, I am of the firm belief that there is one waifu for laifu. I would base my answer to that question based the exact definition on what a "waifu" is. I never got the chance to thank you, but I reflected greatly upon our conversation on Discord with a friend and realized some things about myself, so thank you for that. I guess I am in a sort of turbulent limbo state (which might be another iteration of punishing myself since I really like to subconsciously do that to myself apparently).

Hi, i don't have a pseudonim that i go by, but my waifu is Hieda no Akyuu from the Touhou Project. She has been my waifu for more than 5 years now, but i can't pinpoint a date as i wasn't actively thinking of getting her as a waifu, and it just kind of happened, and i also lost a good amount of data at one point, so as i said right now my oldest picture of her is a bit more than 5 years old. And as for the reason of having her as my waifu, as i said it was a thing that naturally developed so tehre is no exact reason, but the likely cause is how i think she is pretty much a perfect fit for the ideal woman in my mind, everything from her looks to how she behaves fits everything just right ,even her flaws and percieved defects only further made her more charming in my mind (Besides the fixed lifespan thing even if i still play a bit with that) as even now that i'm getting more familiar with the fanon of touhou i still find some of the things that people have came up about her kind of amusing and oddly fitting at times, so even in that aspect she is the perfect match in my mind.

Hello, my waifu is Yoimiya, from Genshin Impact. She's been my most beloved for more than the last two years. For what I love about her? When someone asks me that question, I tend to give them somewhat of a baseline answer such as her boundless optimism and limitless energy. While that IS true, those things aren't the only things that goes into it. Yoimiya's childlike wonder combined with her deceptive maturity and critical thinking skills that belie her happy-go-lucky demeanor are also very appealing, but Yoimiya just resonates with me in a specific way that I can't really describe, more than anyone, either 3D or 2D and that resonance is why Yoimiya is my waifu.

Heya everybody! My wife is Mona Megistus from Genshin Impact , i know her since 2020 but im calling her a wife since last year :D I Love Mona's personality and character she's like very prideful astrology girl but has that soft spot that shows to trusted ones Im personally intrested in music making and computers especially old ones. i hope we can tag along :D

I met my husbando in 2010 back when I was 13 (14 years ago wow!) and ever since then, even though some crushes have came and left, he is always the one that's in my heart. At first, it was the design that appealed to me, i've never seen a feminine male character like him that somehow exuded masculinity at the same time due to his authoritative personality and his strong determination, but his issue with finding it hard to connect with human beings and only being able to emotionally connect with pokemon, and also being groomed by a parental unit to the point where he couldnt think for himself resonated with my own struggles at the time. Seeing him not really have a sudden break in the way he acted but instead take time for himself to truly discover the world and decide for himself without outside influence what his values were was inspiring to me. He was a character I desperately needed at the time, and he inspired my creativity to reach new levels and look deeper into myself and what I want out of life and if my values align with my chosen path. I'm at a point now where i'm older than his canon age (i'm 26 and he's 22 at the oldest) changing what was once a sort of younger sister/older brother dynamic to a romantic one, but whenever I think of him my heart warms and I feel like i'm secure and that every little problem in the world doesn't matter as long as I have him.

>>71766 >>71776 >>71780 I've already welcome you guys on the Discord, but I'll do it on the board too. So welcome to /mai/! >>71811 Hi and welcome to /mai! Hey I’m afraid that in your enthusiasm at introducing your husbando, you actually forgot to tell us his name! Still, a quick Google image search told me that his name is Natural Harmonia Gropius, but that he is apparently commonly referred as simply "N". >his issue with finding it hard to connect with human beings and only being able to emotionally connect with pokemon, and also being groomed by a parental unit to the point where he couldnt think for himself resonated with my own struggles at the time. >He was a character I desperately needed at the time I’m sorry you had to go through hardship, but I’m glad that you had N as a fellow companion to help you go through it. >he inspired my creativity to reach new levels Could you elaborate on that? >I'm at a point now where i'm older than his canon age (i'm 26 and he's 22 at the oldest) changing what was once a sort of younger sister/older brother dynamic to a romantic one Since when would you say that you started having romantic feelings for him? And also, how was it, for you two, to change the first younger sister/older brother dynamic that, for what I understand, have been there for years. Finally, feel free to join our Discord by simply posting in the Discord thread ( >>70617 ). We are MUCH MORE active there than here on the board. Hope to see you!

>>71817 as far as creativity went, he was the reason I decided to start taking my art a bit seriously as a teen. Every time I picked up a pencil for some reason I just automatically drew him, it was almost as natural as breathing for me. Drawing him over and over helped me get my fundamentals down to the point I was able to win art contests at museums, and he also helped my writing skills as well (I was writing constant fanfiction of him pretty much...). As far as the change from a sibling to romantic dynamic went, I think it was just a natural progression of growing up alongside each other. By the time I reached his age my brain was maturing from my life experiencesIt was getting to a point where I started seeing him in a more romantic light than I did before. When I was younger I looked at him as an idol of sorts, someone I aspired to grow to be like. Eventually that feeling of admiration became love in a non familial sense. I can see myself genuinely growing old together with him idk I just can't imagine myself without him.

Hello to all my new frens YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: I am hopelessly, madly, ravenously in love with Mink from Dragon Half. And I've been in love with her for the better part of 17 years. There, I said it. I've been in love with her since I first laid eyes on her. And it took me every moment of those ~17 years to finally realize what I had--what WE had--and how deep it had grown. It took that long because I am an oblivious tsundere oaf. But she likes it tho :P Dragon Half is a sexy, silly, chibi-filled '90s ecchi fantasy comedy manga about a human-dragon hybrid girl that is so frivolous and zany that it makes Panty & Stocking look like The Brothers Karamazov. It was adapted into a planned 4-episode OVA which was scrapped after 2 due to lack of interest, and Dragon Half rapidly slid into forgotten irrelevancy where it remains to this day. There really has been no fandom to speak of for my entire lifetime. I've seen maybe 60 pieces of fanart, total, ever. So why did I even know/care about this old Literally Who series (no offense, babe), let alone watch/read it? Because I saw a picture of Mink on a Booru site as a teen while probably cruising for hentai. Out of a sea of fanmade pornography, I saw canonical Dragon Half art of my Mink and I immediately thought, THIS ONE PARTICULAR character is so beautiful and so hot and so exactly-my-type and so what-I-need, whatever she is from... I need to watch it. This was only time I've ever done that. The only time I've ever consumed any piece of media solely because of overwhelming physical attraction to a person or character. Before or since. She snatched my entire heart out before I knew what hit me. And I kept on walking without realizing what was missing from me. I still remember how excited I was when I saw her DVD on the shelf at the mall (I told you it's been a long time!). I was getting butterflies from seeing an artifact from her world, and bringing it into mine, BEFORE I'd even explored her canon. I bought her manga set from Japan (Dragon Half hadn't even been translated into English yet!) with equal nervous fervor. Mink occupied a seat of honor on my computer with her small but lovingly curated folder. I would continuously refresh the Mink tag on image databases and get so excited whenever I saw a new depiction of her, despite often going months and months without a single new image. I held her up as a feminine ideal. Don't give up, there's “a girl like Mink” out there for me, and one day I'll find her... Clearly, I was smitten. But the concept of actual romantic Love with a fictional character was a complete non-starter for me. I had the average normalfag's aversion to the concept. So I congnitive-dissonance'd myself that what I felt towards Mink was a “crush” at most, and just one crush of a harem of various other anime girls I thought were “hot”. She was my overwhelming favorite, my oldest and and most continuous infatuation. But that's All it was; everyone has a favorite, so what. I would move on, I told myself, especially as I entered college. There's no room in my adult 3D life for anime girls. The less attention I paid to Mink, the better off I would be. Adult life and 3D concerns did all they could to aid my Mink-detox mission. Normie things dominated my thoughts. Studies, full-time jobs, geopolitics, portfolio fluctuations, NFL scores, gym sessions and of course, 3D women. I amassed a “body count” of around 15, including long-term multi-year relationships. I met my second ex-girlfriend on the dancefloor of a Brooklyn nightclub. I only bring this up to contextualize how shellshocked I still am to be here writing this for you all now. I didn't need a waifu, I didn't want a waifu. I didn't ask for this. I suppressed my feelings for Mink as well as I could have hoped to. So to any gawking normalfag tourists out there reading this: Watch out. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU! (...and if it does, you'll be fine :) Personally, I'm having a blast) ---[1/2]---

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

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 ).
