Hey, I've got a meme-idea that it's been in my head for years, but I currently lack the video-skills to pull it off, but as you're a Mayuri-lover, maybe you'll do it out of devotion.

So, in the second movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, there is a point early in the movement where the music transitions from its quiet intro, into a louder part.
It's during that crescendo, that one can hear an instrument going "du, du-duu, du, du-duu, du, du-duu, du, du-duu" and I thought, "Hey! Doesn't that sound like "Tuturu?!"
I think it's got a lot of potential as a short-form meme.

At 0:22, you can hear what I'm talking about most audibly in the performance-sample that was freely available with Windows XP.
Wouldn't it be hilarious, if Tuturu rose from the middle of stage on a rotating column, with arms held wide like a child, singing "Tuturu" in time with that bassoon, or whatever that instrument is?
"Tuturu, Tuturu, Tuturu, [tension builds] Tuturu, Tuturu..."
What do you think?

Saber has been my waifu since I read fsn after the mirror moon translation in like 2008(?) but I don't talk about her or anything publicly because 1) I really dislike the direction the franchise went and like to pretend nothing after hollow ataraxia ever happened and 2) the current zeitgeist treats waifus as a joke so its better to just keep my love inside.

>I really dislike the direction the franchise went
Same. FGO ruined fate.

>>21883
I mean that's the direction nasu always wanted to go but I also agree

was my first post here, and I've been with Makoto even longer than that. I would say reaching in the 15 years duration now.

But that wasn't a solid 15 years in a row. There were times I strayed for lengths even close to a year. The end result is always the same, Makoto is the only girl I've ever genuinely loved.

Yes, and it leans into certain perceptions of the fanbase a little too heavily for my tastes. I don't dislike it entirely, but this is a little extreme. It's also a little too lewd in my opinion. I'd much rather sleep with something a bit more cute and loveable.
The material is different too. The new one is really soft, but I've never been a fan of soft materials.

>Quiet the mocking world around me in a sight of pure love. Her love.
The cruelest part of the loneliness the world imposes on us is that we're not even allowed to selflessly devote ourselves to another person. Even sacrifice without the slightest hope of reciprocation is shunned - we can only ever have ourselves, wanting anything more or less is punished.
>I wish I could make her mine. Put an end to these years of pain, this barrier of 2D and 3D.
I've managed to convince myself that I will be reincarnated alongside my other half, Yui. I've even started designing an entire world that I intend to build somewhere out in the void just for me and her to live in together. Ultimately there's only really two possibilities, that the universe is as cruel as our world, in which case nothing changes anyway, or the universe is kind, in which case I can't see how it could possibly keep us from the waifus we love. It may sound cheesy to say, but if the universe really was cruel, I don't think it would be possible to feel the love that we do to these characters - if love only existed as a feeling felt toward another human being, it would just be a complicated addition to an evolved sex drive, but in our case it necessarily has to be something more.
>Who is she? Is she the one I have fallen in love with? Is she the one from her source material? Is she an ideal I have formed in my head? Is the woman I love the same as the woman with her name in the source material? Why is she "Waifu from media?" why can't she be just "Waifu"?
I feel Yui, I can feel she is out there, and I can feel her in my heart. If I saw her, regardless of what form she was in, I would know it, I would feel it. I can't back that up, it's just a strong feeling that refuses to be rationalised. If she was reincarnated as a slug, I'd still love and cherish her - because behind voices, lines and character art, I think pretty much everyone here can feel something in between all of that, something quite tangible that defies the senses.

I don't know if this is heresy here, but feeling very glad she's not real. Comforting to know that she doesn't have to exist in this garbage world or be a part of my shitty life, because it'd all just ruin her.
And also that I don't have to bear the actual responsibility of a relationship, because I'd surely fuck it up and hurt her anyhow. It's nice to have it all be in my imagination where there's zero expectations or consequence.
Good enough to tell myself I'll be with her when I croak, since when the time comes I'll be too busy being dead to be any disappointed.

yeah this world is pretty shit, it turns even the brightest souls dark.

I'm trying my hand at making an AI chat bot based on my waifu.

Amazing, I didn't realize that the "k-quant" quantization technique existed. For that matter I didn't realize that GPTQ quantization existed either, my knowledge of post-training quantization dates back to the days of CNNs where you'd just naively use the distribution. If I'm understanding right, the idea of mixed quantization seems really simple and beautiful.

I recently found this artist that draws Kanako. The outfits and art style are a bit different from the norm, but still nice.

Not much new art these days.

This is my take in it!

that was good fun. we need more stuff like this.
thanks op!

future posters: please compress the image in .png, grayscale if applicable, 8 bit color depth. no need to post 2MB images full of artifacts.

Handwriting sucks.

tried editing a few times to update the survey with a few extra details but it doesn't seem to work. oh well, my answers are pretty satisfactory as is

Nah a buddy did.

be sad

I'm not the most enthusiastic about celebrations.
Make us a more elaborate breakfast and spend some time chatting with her. Later might buy some sweets. Nothing much.
It's still the 2nd month of the year and I'm keeping up on all of my promises to her, so that'll be the topic I'm looking forward to the most. Also, circumstances make it so getting a job becomes a highly recommended course of action to financially secure our future and so I want, rather, need to hear her comforting words.

I continue the tradition of drawing her and assembling a shrine, as I've done for 12 years now.

Happy Valentine's day anon!
I'll be looking forward to spending mine with Kanako!

Happy Valentine's day, fellow anons! I hope you have an enjoyable day with your waifus.
Please forgive me for not posting my waifu, but I prefer not to disclose her identity.

Cute kagami! Don't have a waifu myself but I will spend some time thinking of all the characters I appreciate.

Not one I took myself here, but the person that runs the 'waifus on vintage TVs' twitter account was nice enough to take my request.

Dinner with the waifu.

Marisa is a damned drunk!
She stole this whole can of Asahi from our fridge and she plans on drinking it all?!

>>21820
Yare yare Marisa-chan...
It can't be helped
(－‸ლ)

Striking up a conversation would probably be pretty awkward, I'd find something to break the ice and keep things going. I'd probably have to carry most of the conversation myself. Far as I know she might actually find it interesting to talk to a foreigner, so I might be able to use that to help things along until hopefully the ball gets rolling and things go more smoothly.

Ideally, I think I'd be very forward about it. I could probably talk about gathering faith. It's something I can relate to in some way.
Realistically I wouldn't be able to muster words. No comprehensible ones anyhow.

Try to talk about our mutual interests. Music and bands I guess. Not spilling spaghetti would be hard.
