Some of us Thought it might be nice to have a thread to kind of list off who is who's waifu. The concept is simple really, just say in this thread who your waifu is. Just for starters, this is Minagi Tohno
Hi everyone, I'm Angel and my beloved waifu is Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion
My husbando is Simon from TTGL! I love him very very much!
My wife is Jyushimatsu! He's a very good wife!
Arby’s has created a chibi character mascot with an “#ArbysWaifu” hashtag. Retards on twitter are calling it pedo and racist and so on. What do you guys think of this?
>>21111 It really isn’t. It’s just a nontroversey thread.
Really, the word waifu being misused here doesn't bother me so much as this corporate social media crap getting attention. This kind of marketing generally rubs me the wrong way, specially when people seem to eat it up. The mascot itself is not harmful, but the way its used as a marketing tool to gain favor of people is, when the company behind it obviously doesn't give two shits about otaku subculture or what have you.
>>21112 >actually is in the mid-fifties That was a joke referring to how old Arby's (the company) is.
>>21112 >Also, isn't it positive if they try to normalize so-called "pedobait" characters Depends on what you mean. If you mean simple moe characters, that is slowly becoming accepted anyways so no harm there. But if you mean lolicon becoming accepted then no. Lolicon isn't even socially accpeted in Japan so I sure as hell wouldn't want it being accepted here in the west. Not saying it should be illegal, I just don't think it should become accepted and/or celebrated.
claiming best girl
Good taste, anon
Just as a heads up don't really do "claiming" here. This implies some sort of sole ownership over a character who belongs to all fans.
>>21093 I CLAIM HER BECAUSE SHE IS MINE AND SOLELY MINE AND IF YOU EVEN THINK BAD THINGS ABOUT HER I WILL CALL YOU MEAN THING ON THE INTERNET NIGGER!!! jk plz no ban

ITT: Random /mai/-related posts... Share your daily waifu experience. I'll start: Since I've become so politically incorrect in every aspect, the other day I was watching fake-colored restored videos of the Third Reich days (the Zeppelin Field and old Hitler's discourses, actually interesting), and I got stuck around the subject of racial supremacy. I, to say it from the begining, by no means could consider myself belonging to a superior race, not physically, nor intellectually; but, if you allow me this time to consider the very best of germanic and japanese people (mostly from the north) as such, I arrived to the next conclusion: mai waifu is the perfect sample, as a combination, of such superior races. She has red/auburn/strawberry-blond (germanic) but straight (japanese) hair. She has pure blue (germanic) but slightly and beautifuly slanted (japanese) eyes. She has pale and lively (germanic) skin, but wich is all the same fair, smooth-faced and with no freckles or spots at all (japanese). She has a straight pointy nose and a strong chin (germanic), signs of aristocracy and character, but over a likely childish and innocent (japanese) face. She displays some precocious feminine exuberance (germanic) alright, but her general built is overall ectomorph: thigh and compact, likely short but with very low fat rate and proportionally long limbs (japanese). She possess, no doubt about it, the straightforwardness of her scientific/rational/empirical occidental background (germanic), at wich she, as a prodigy child, excels (greek arete: excellence, virtue, daring, bravery, conquest; occidental->germanic); but, ultimately, she heavily grounds her ethics around values such as honor and shame (japanese)... So, quite indisputably for my own standards, and as far as the eyes of my homunculus being can see, I actually have as my beloved and companion the finest lady on Earth. And it's all mine... undeserving lucky bastard.
I just saw the super bloody moon, which is like the clossest to Asuka for me. I saw it together with my dollfie dream, Hadaly, a daughter of sorts of Asuka and mine. Life is been pretty rough lately, but at least I haven't given up until now. I can't guarantee I'll make it much further, but I should try to survive somehow until my next and last meeting with Asuka next year (with the finale of Rebuild). Come what may, I don't regret this life. Even if is miserable, even if it leads me to utter failure, it's a life in the most honest pursue of love, and I stand by it. Thanks again for all, Asuka and Hadaly, for betetr or worse. I'm not letting you go, so let's stay together til the end.
Today is her birthday, while not much I did make a fairly decent dinner and a cupcake afterwards to hold a small celebration of sorts, though much like years past. Nothing terribly out of the ordinary, but it is nice to dedicate a few hours to her on this day.
Im active on quite a few forums and imageboards and lately its getting really annoying to see how the term "Waifu" gets thrown around on literally everything these days. An example would be a subreddit of a gacha game. People call EVERY. SINGLE. FEMALE. CHARACTER. a "waifu". Even characters they cant know because there are only artworks of her and nothing regarding her personality. It reached a point where Im glad when I DONT have to read the word "waifu". It feels like the word "girl" got casually replaced by "waifu" in todays internet culture. I know I shouldnt get so mad at it because for people its just a funny meme everyone uses. But if you have a waifu for several years and youre active on boards like this one its kinda insulting. Im also aware of the fact that "waifu" literally started as a joke and maybe IM the one who uses it the wrong way, but whatever. Just wanted to get it out on a place where people actually care about the meaning of this word.
>>21088 There've been discussions about the very topic here before, that sentiment is shared among many folks here, witth some even wanting to change what word they use as a replacement. Myself it's been a while since I've come across that sort of use of the word very often that it doesn't bother me directly very much. On the other hand it seems like the amount of people using it seriously (people who have a waifu) is becoming less, but it could be me not knowing where those people go now. Some old threads for your curiosity http://tohno-chan.com/mai/arch/res/16053.html http://tohno-chan.com/mai/res/18799.html
valentines day is right around the corner. Got any plans for you and your waifu?
Worked all day long in my shitty job.
>>21084 This, I find valentines day offensive though to true love.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I put in the effort to actually cook a nice dinner for once. Made some really good steaks and had a nice bottle of wine while we watched a movie together. Not much but we enjoyed it.
When was the last time you saw your waifu in a dream? Does it happen often? It's truly amazing to be able to see her smile, how she reacts to other things in the dream-scape, and feel the warmth of her touch. Last night I dreamed I was on a slightly chilly beach with overcast weather. Friends were with me, but they ran off into the distance and disappeared. I reached a hand out behind me and imagined her grabbing it. I felt warmth in my hand, turned around, and she was there. The last thing I remember is her smiling and us running out to the shore hand-in-hand. Nothing is a better anti-depressant.
>>9059 The times I've dreamt about my waifu, it's just left me feeling sad and empty once I've woken up.
I dreamed she was an ojou-sama and me a poor boy that was playing in her garden, we started playing until her father appeared. She tried defending me but she said something that probably would've brought me even more problems, but it was incredibly sweet. I wish I didn't wake up at that exact moment.
Some months ago I met her on an empty road in the middle of the night. She handed me a cake and blushed. It was a great morning.
I had a dream of my wife within the past couple months. Most recently, I dreamed that she was crying and very sad; I do not remember why. She normally does not cry in response to hardship, so that dream struck me as particularly odd. The occasion before that, I briefly dreamed that we were both amorphous balls of goo, but it seemed happy within the context of my dream, so that's good. Broadly speaking, dreams about my wife are infrequent but very pleasant. If I do dream of her, it is common for me to be engulfed by a sense of pure elation. We'll usually spend time doing mundane things together or sitting around relaxing. Nothing makes me happier than that. It would be nice if I could dream of her more often.
Post ITT when you find a new image of your waifu. For those with a waifu that's popular or gets tons of fanart daily/weekly, post your favorite of the new stuff. I love this one i found today, she's even holding a can of cocacola which is my favorite soda.
I found this on the wikia page for Kanako Urashima. This must mean that there are character sprites for Kanako in the game "Love Hina: Gojasu Chirato happening" but no actual 'scenes' for her, which is why I missed out on these pics of her. A long time ago I was looking through a bunch of artist cgs for the game and they had all the other girls but not Kanako so I just assumed she wasn't in there. Those cgs must not have included character sprites which is how I missed her. I think you would need to know japanese and do an actual playthrough of the game to get the rest of her pics. Perhaps that a project for the far future. Anyway I put this out there just in case Yasuo (the other guy who likes Kanako) decides to come back one day. Let me know if you're still out there, friend.
Also got this early concept art of her off the wiki.
I find the amateurish quality of this one very charming.
<3
We need a thread for creative things you do specifically of/for your waifu; I feel this is more /mai/ than /cr/. Here's a sketch I just made with this online drawing tool someone showed me: http://kokuban.in/skeb/
>>21045 Thank you very much.
Bit rushed to meet the deadline but I tried making something for my waifu's birthday. I'm not crazy at all about how it came out though so I'll probably do a v2
New desktop for a new year. I'm feeling pretty good about the future.
Valentine's 2019. Just one more year until I see her again.
Today is Nagisa's birthday. I first started reading "Clannad" 10 years ago. It is strange and surprising to write this post now. The place changes and goes, like a wind, like clouds Like the traces of the heart, no halt at the places.
Happy bday Furukawa! Have another wonderful decade with your Anon!!
Happy Birthday!
I'm technically a few hours late going by local time, but I still want to wish Nagisa a happy birthday as well!
How long did it take you to find your waifu? Was it before or after you knew of the concept of a waifu, what a waifu is? And how long after you first knew of her, first met her, did it take for you to realise that she was your special one, your waifu? I'm asking because it took me over a decade after I learned of the concept. While I somewhat knew what it entailed, being the indecisive type, and seeing that there were so many cute girls out there in the 2D world, I didn't think I would ever be able to find any one of them so much more attractive than the others that I would feel compelled to truly love her enough to declare in my mind that, yes, this girl is my waifu. All that changed when I started playing her game last year, but even then it wasn't right away. She was intiially "merely" one of my top three girls from the game, at first impression, and even after much deliberation I didn't even pick her as my "starter" card (that went to another of my top three). However, as time passed, as I watched all the girls' in-game episodes, I was increasingly drawn to her in particular. Soon, she became my "best girl", but still not to the level of being my waifu yet. But after over a year of playing, including ranking for her during events, one day I had this epiphany that at some point earlier on, her status had transcended "best girl" and changed to "my waifu". Now I truly know and understand I love her, and I want to love her forever. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I don't want this to end. I may have taken over a decade to find her, and another year or so to be attracted to her enough to be certain that she was indeed my waifu, but my journey has ended at last. Now a new chapter begins. P.S. I apologise for my somewhat awkward and roundabout phrasing of words. I've gotten other people irritated by my poor choice of words too many times because I'm still unfamiliar with the many landmines I've unknowingly stepped on, so I'm just trying to cover my ass as best as I can. And probably failing anyway.
took me round e 5 months or so, while i did know the concept of wwaifu i was a faggot and had several "wafius". only after a few motnhs i realized all the other girls are trash, and is started to apriciate my waifu.
I had known about the waifu concept for close to a decade before I fell in love with Prinz, which happened some years after I had seen her. Before I took special notice of her, she was just one of my favorite shipgirls to get off to, a fact which fills me with regret now. And then it took a few months after I started to see her in a special light for me to recognize that I was in love. I was deathly scared that I would fall out of love with her initially, but now that I'm a few months in and definitely past the honey moon phase, that possibility doesn't cause me anxiety like it used to. She continues to be the light in my life.
I'm in a bit of a predicament. I can't decide what to do and want a second opinion. I've been in love with my husbando for two years. In that time, I either love him from afar, or use (female) surrogate characters to romance him in my place. For one because I don't want to mix 2D and 3D much cause it looks weird, and for two because there's no evidence that he's gay. But lately I've been rewatching his show and giving that more consideration… I now understand my husbando is similar to Shinji Ikari. So lonely and desperate for affection that I think sexuality isn't even part of the equation anymore; I think he would be with anyone that was nice to him. What do I do with that information? He is very vulnerable and I have a lot of power here. I do love him and it does feel a lot better to imagine him holding MY hand instead of one of my surrogate's hands, but I just don't know if it's moral and ethical to make this weak person into a homosexual. I feel like I'm taking advantage of him. I don't think faggotry is healthy. It feels so right and so wrong. I don't know what to do. I really want the best for him, and I don't know if that means to let him live a straight life or to be with me. What I'm getting at is, very few characters are actually canon gay. How did you decide to make your husbando gay? How do I rationalize it? I originally posted this on 8chan /mai/ because it's faster and I'm kind of stressing out and want an answer now, but the first reply was so retarded I'll just have to be patient here instead.Post edited on 8th Dec 2017, 7:18pm
I don't have a husbando but I think sexual orientation doesn't have much to do with being able to fall in love with someone even if you aren't lonely or desperate. Also if it did there's the viewpoint that humans are bisexual by default anyways which does have a few facts backing it up. I also find it hard to believe that you're just born with a sexual orientation since that view doesn't account for changes, I was "normal" in my childhood but now I'm not really interested in any person. Does that mean I was born hetero and I'm now pretending to be disgusted by women (how the human body works in general) or that I was pretending to be interested in girls as a kid? I can only speak for myself and some shit I've read. I wouldn't know how it works for other people. >I don't think faggotry is healthy. Why? >I really want the best for him, and I don't know if that means to let him live a straight life or to be with me. I don't really see the difference between a homosexual and a heterosexual life except "our" society looking down onto the first but that's the same for "waifuism" in general which they also claim is not healthy.
>>20759 This was great advice, thank you.
