I don't get these problems with erotic works of one's waifu... Of course you have imagined how she'd act in bed, right? Now, it might be enough to only imagine it, but then again, if your imagination is so strong, why's your waifu someone else's creation to begin with? Even without self-inserting, seeing the lewd faces she makes and her beautiful naked body is refreshing.

The only and very slight irritation I suffer is when clearly gifted artists draw her with no concern to her character. To them she's just the girl with the horn and titties. The best art (n/sfw) is drawn by people who specialize in lewd pieces. This is because there is little incentive to "draw all 2hus" or whatever else that disregards her character when all they want is good porn. They could pick any girl, and those who pick Yuugi usually have something they like about her as a character (because, you know, you can draw massive tits on pretty much anyone).

I can't stand it when people call her a bitch it makes me so mad that people can't understand her personality.

I have constantly had to deal with pretty much everyone insisting that she is evil, that she is nothing but a murderer, that she is irredeemable, that she doesn't deserve to be saved, et cetera. It's a completely one-dimensional perspective of her, and reeks of ignorance. Most of the people who say that sort of stuff haven't even seen the parts of the source material that she's actually present in.
I don't really bother with those people anymore, though. It's not worth my time. I know that I can't really change their minds about her, just like they can't change my mind about her.

Something else that really annoys me is artists who draw her with the wrong eye color. I've seen her drawn with black, grey, green, and even blue eyes. I have nothing against those colors, but it's just not Chara's eyes. Canonically, they're always either a very dark reddish brown, like her hair, or bright red. Most artists draw them red.
Wrong hair color annoys me even more. Her hair is canonically auburn. Dark, and somewhere between red and brown. Plenty of artists draw it plain brown, which is acceptable. Some others draw it red, which I am also okay with. I've seen a few artists draw it black, though, which is very wrong.
Worst of all, however, are the artists who draw it orange, and there are many of them. I don't understand why they do it! It's not orange! Stop this madness immediately!

I have the reverse of your Konata problem.
Eerie is a retard. I like him that way, just the way he is. He's a "primal" man, the creators used that word themselves to describe him.
Yet, a lot of fanart paints him as this verbose, down to earth guy giving life advice, wearing fucking formal business suits, dramatically buttoning the sleeve cuffs looking all sophisticated.
He's also only 16 years old, and a lot of this type of psychiatrist looking Eerie fanart increases his height a lot and gives him more matured features, raising his age by anywhere between 10 and 30 years.
It's the total opposite of Eerie. I don't even know how they think of this stuff. It would be understandable if it was a one off thing, but this is like 15% of the fanart does this! It's not done in the name of irony, this is how they actually see him, somehow.

Even worse than that interpretation is people who project their disgusting hyper homosexual and transgender afflictions onto him, or are, again, just plain ignorant of Eerie's fundamentals as a character.
While Eerie's physically 16, he's intellectually somewhere around 8~. Extremely immature. And I think these people, not seeing that, are instead equating his chipper body language to flaming faggotry.
He's not a faggot! He's an energetic, happy kid with no discipline or social awareness. He beats the shit out of people and excels in sports much more often than he does flamboyant spontaneous dances, anyway.

Eerie has crossdressed twice in the show. Once was to humor his roommate's game and make her happy (he was not on board with this at all and initially threw her costumes away in retaliation), and the second time was part of a scheme to force his way into a fortress with heavy defenses that required a disguise.
These both had clear motivations. It's not something he just does for fucking fun or because he's mentally ill.
Plus--and I've said this before already in another post--Koreans, all Asians, really, find crossdressing absolutely hilarious. Trannies are modern clowns there: there are comedy shows done on stage where the one and only joke is "the man is dressed like a woman". Moreover, the more masculine the man crossdressing is, the funnier it is, so in a

That video is diluted cancer and everything about it production-wise is grating to be subjected to. Content-wise is mostly garbage, but the poster above me already covered that.

I recommend anyone to avoid this video. If you have a waifu it will annoy you for his point of view; if you don't, for the way it's made.

I don't give no fuck what some cretin on youtube says. They say stuff that normies will watch and that gives them money

The concept of "waifus" has actually been referenced in a couple different anime about otaku. However, they always use the term "yome", rather than "waifu", so I'd wager that "waifu" is Western in origin, even more, they will NEVER use "yome" for a western made character.

The waifu meme is derived from a joke in Azumanga Daioh, but makes no mention of the term coming from the Japanese anime/otaku community, in-universe he was talking about his "real" wife, but it was a play on the english classes they take.

The best we can hope is for someone in the Japanese Otaku community to confirm or unconfirm this.

Shit like this is what we got, now where the concept of a waifu is a literal meme.

I might stop using the word waifu altogether and just call him my lover or my muse or something.
I'm not mad about it anymore. As a faggot, I have it worse than others. The liberal use of the word husbando is much worse in my opinion. You'll notice that the ironic otakus refer to characters that are well designed and well written as waifus. They don't have any feelings for them like we do, but they are at least respectful towards the character. I've never seen them use the term to describe their sexual desires. Likely because the normie otakus would never allow themselves to masturbate to cartoons, the thought probably doesn't even occur to them.
Which is all gay fake otakus do. Husbando means "character I masturbate to more than once" to them, and they are very upfront and shameless about it, as gays typically are about their sexuality. The difference between any given waifu thread versus a husbando thread on the shit *chans is immediately obvious: one is pornographic and the other is not.
And as shit as the other *chans are, I have to say that I've seen quite a few waifu threads on /v/ where people really are appearing to stay loyal to a single character in there, versus the husbando faggots that seriously take the time to photoshop twelve characters into an image together and refer to these twelve characters collectively as their husbando. Next week, they'll switch some of the characters out for new ones. Like trading cards.

To summarize: guys that misuse "waifu" are innocent idiots that appreciate characters for who they are on some level, guys that misuse "husbando" are addicted to porn.

This is all to say that I've already been driven to giving up a 2D love related term once because of pieces of shit, and I can do it again without much difficulty. I never call Eerie my husbando on purpose because of those people. People have acted confused by how I refer to Eerie as my waifu instead of my husbando, now you know. Sometimes I take it a step further and call him by female pronouns just for added effect, even though I never, ever think of him as anything other than masculine. I just want to separate myself from husbando faggots as much as possible.

Please don't misinterpret this as me having any problems with the gays he

I've definitely seen husbando been more corrupted than waifu, so how about just accepting defeat and using a different term? Some examples:
> Eerie is my spousu.
> Eerie is my consortu.
> Eerie is my groomuu.
Since it seems you're a koreaboo, you can also just use its default word for it:
> Eerie is my nampyeon.

>>20533
Hahaha, nampyeon, I actually like that a lot, I think I might do that. Thanks.
And as far as worship of cultures goes, I actually hate Japan and Korea both, Korea more than Japan. They're robot ant people that eat each other alive, they make American chads seem like angels. I'm doing a lot of things I don't like just for Eerie.

Eerie's a reverse werewolf, meaning he's a wolf all of the time unless he's exposed to a full moon, which turns him human for the duration.
When human, he's basically the antithesis of his wolf-self, haha. I think it's really brilliant; he's like a screaming retarded caveman that crushes rocks with his bare skull for entertainment by day, and a mild mannered French royalty inspired k-pop idol who charms the ladies with his gift of conjuring roses from thin air at night.

I just commissioned this drawing of his human form greeting my self-insert fan character with a rose. It was $100, but I liked the artist and her work enough to tip $20.

Eerie has many since it's so much cheaper to do 3D than 2D animation. I feel very lucky that he's 3D for this reason, and because 3D models are always consistent, unlike anime characters that have the artists change or budget issues mid-series and such. Eerie looks perfect always!

There's Ghostbusters Eerie, Super Sentai Eerie, Dracula Eerie with blood red eyes, wet suit Eerie surfing on a shark...

One costume I have a very big problem with, so much so that I couldn't include it in this collage because I can't even bear to look at it is his Halloween tuxedo. It was worn during his lowest moment, I uh, don't want to talk about it. It's a shame, because it's his most handsome outfit and it had the most work put into it, yet it was used in such a horrible episode that I can't appreciate it.

I used to have a problem with his cross-dressing, but I'm starting to understand that "LGBT" is synonymous with "clown" in most of the East, at least as far as I can tell. The manlier the person wearing women's clothing is, the harder the audience laughs. So, in a way, it's a compliment to Eerie that they dress him up like this for a joke.

>>16513
Hey, that's a picture I made a few years ago.

>08/29/14
Oh.

In any case, that's mostly the anime changing the designs to keep up with Ume-sensei's evolving art style. For example, season 2 designs look quite close to how Ume-sensei's style looked like back in 2008. I think S4 looks odd, but some people like it because it has brown lines like Madoka. I don't think it really matches the style of the manga though.

>Different outfits
Sure! I insist.

I somewhat relate to your post. I doubt I will ever see merchandise that features her alone, much less objects like figures... so all I have is my imagination + her scenes and panels.

>>20514
I can certainly relate to the bit about only having your imagination and panels. My lady love gets very little fan art, and most of it doesn't meet my obscenely high standards for saving. So basically a good 90% at least of my folder is manga crops. I don't mind it too much though, it's consistent at least so I have a very good idea of how she looks in my mind's eye that isn't confused by different art styles.

Post edited on 2nd Jun 2017, 4:28am

I do not own any merchandise, though I do have plans to purchase a daki, but that's my limit. The way I see it, figurines, plushes, &c. are not a necessity to love, and, sometimes, rather than being a representation of ones devotion, they could also serve the adverse purpose of steering one's devotion away from personal love into the realm of idolatry. In other words, surrounding one's self with such things may make their waifu more of a plastic figure than a living concept. While she is superior and clearly distinct from all 3DPD, I personally feel most comfortable limiting myself to pictures and a daki.

That's just me, though. When it comes to relationships such as these, varying individual approaches are to be expected.

I have a dollfie dream of her, which I've neglected for a while.. but currently am trying to get more clothes and get back into the photography hobby.

See, that's the thing; you're focusing on thought. Our lives as human beings are generally led through both thoughts and emotions-- just because you think you can't really focus on one girl doesn't mean the rest of your mind feels the same way.
When you fall in love with someone's concept, they become really special to you.

What you're facing everyday is a possibility. All things in life are possible, some with cosmically small odds, others with higher. Responsibilities have very little to do with forming a loving bond, I think you're thinking of interaction. There's ton of interaction to have with 2d concepts too, simply because they don't exist in our material realm doesn't mean they don't exist at all and that you can only love them from afar.

Yeah, but that's not how love works. You don't fall in love with a concept because it looks nice or feels nice, there's much more to it. You're mistaking potential love with potential infatuation. There are tons of potential mates out there, both 3d and 2d for everyone-- it's not entirely your conscious decision, though, and you can't really choose what you want to feel towards whom.

Last but not least, I feel like you need to reconsider your love priorities if you think you can just one day decide to dedicate yourself to one concept. It takes much more than simple thought to love.

I am late to the party.

>When I had a real girlfriend my mind was all about her, because I was supported by real life, by everyday situations; e.g. she knocks on my door: I cannot ignore she is knocking on my door and that she's there, a girl who loves me, that's waiting for me to open that door. With 2D, I can just say to myself "fuck it, I'm browsing another girl in the internet, forget the other imaginary one knocking on the door".

My experience is the opposite. I basically experience the same with 2D. My mind is all about her. She is "knocking the door" of my imagination or similar senses, telling me she is there. If I would say "fuck it", she will react in my imagination much like previous posts have described imagination to work. It would break my heart (and her heart) if I said "fuck it".

>Maybe I'm not capable of love in general, and I can only dream of it.

Maybe you have just not found your type of love.

I feel much of the same problem OP, I suppose I just am incapable of love. Too much self doubt to allow myself to love, because of the fear that if I did love it might not be the real thing. I feel like love, for me, would not merely be adoration for a person, but the interaction and back and forth between me and them that forges an unbreakable bond, for me love is active and a current, not just a one way output for myself towards an object of worship. I think it's too hard for me to have a waifu because if I loved someone, I would want them to be with me and interact with me every second of my life. Of course, I've never felt love before, so this is merely speculation. Sadly I cannot go to the 2D world, and there is no person in this world whom I could form a complete bond of trust, love, and compatibility with, so I must live a loveless life. I am happy for those of you who can love their waifu though, and I do envy you.

The long and short of it is simply no one else interests me.

How on earth do YOU stay focused on one girl? It's a given that reality is going to be more dull than the fantastical, by definition, even. I can do anything I fucking want with Eerie, while you're trapped in your shitty dinner routines talking about nothing with a woman you have no common interests with other than a desire for attention and financial stability.

And I do have responsibilities. They're self-imposed, yes, but I don't see how that would decrease their value. You technically owe absolutely nothing to your 3D significant other just the same, and every single penny you share, child you bear, or favors exchanged between each other is done not out of obligation, legal or otherwise, but because you feel like it.
Well, I feel like working out and cooking for my nampyeon.
Your ties to your woman are just as imaginary as mine. We owe our lovers jack shit and we do it anyway because we care.

What real life consequences are you talking about? Anguish? Lonesomeness? Lifetime of regret? Do these possible outcomes of a bad breakup not apply to 2D lovers from your point of view? You're an idiot! I feel massive guilt over the slightest of transgressions towards Eerie.

I try to play eroge and VN but it's hard for me to get into. Also have been trying to watch more anime but also hard for me to do because I have a shit attention span.

Unfortunately I'm awful at the things he's good at, so I never get far. I have felt more connected to him when I've tried, though, so I don't think it's silly at all.

I think everyone here is familiar with Shinji Ikari. I feel a great likeness to him. The scene where he explains his playing the cello summarizes my life. My existence must be validated by others; my interests and opinions are not my own; I absolutely must have someone to depend on, and someone dependent on me, in order to feel alive.

And unfortunately for my sanity and state of well-being, I dislike most everyone IRL, or I like them but cannot get on with them for inexplicable reasons.

It is very well, then, that I have found someone I can get my needs from in the 2D. Without Eerie, I simply have no identity and do absolutely nothing.

I wake up, I imagine I've woken up in Eerie's hammock beside him and I stare into his tired eyes for a time and press my forehead against his. I do cardio for an hour while I listen to the k-pop groups that did OST's for his show. I'll read horror novels or watch horror films-the real cheeseball ones that I assume inspired the perpetual Halloween setting in his show, or ones directly related to werewolves. Alternatively, I'll watch sports of any kind. My favorite is all-American boxing. Then, I'll study Korean, Korean culture, indulge in more k-pop, mindlessly browse random masculine images or gratuitous violence, or practice physical activity a second time--such as nunchaku which he is seen with frequently--before I fall asleep, again imagining his face beside me in his hammock.

That is my life now. I don't do anything for myself. I am nobody without him. I had no interest in any of these things before I met him. I hated horror and I hated music.

I'd say I'm just a little envious of those here that already had personalities of their own and are able to introduce their waifus to their existing interests. But I'm okay like this. I can't imagine it any other way. I get a great deal of satisfaction out of it. The constant consumption of things he likes is almost like a 24/7 job, yes. A very well-liked job. This must be what it feels like for those normies who become fully engrossed in their work and love every second of it.

I like to imagine requesting that he put on designer boxer briefs with the text "I <3 ANON*" stitched into the ass and make him model them for me. He's a naked caveman, I think he'd find them constraining and feel very awkward and I'd just love it! It wouldn't be a sexual thing (much), more of a younger sibling having their elders do silly things for their amusement.

I have a few but this one is the dearest I think. It usually involves us just doing everyday things together as though we were living as a couple in her world. I'm unable to ride a horse in real life so often I'll also have her in the back of her saddle with me in front feeling her arms around me to stop me from falling off, an action that probably isn't necessary but she does it anyway because 'just what if, you know?', but I also think it's cute to imagine her riding and me on foot, with her playfully charging ahead and in an almost song-like tone asking me to please keep up. Sometimes the day is just us going on a nice lazy date, other daydreams I've had involve us going hunting for dinner together, or watching over our livestock. There are often silly little wagers made on little competitions too like chasing down the same doe or play wrestling in the grass. The prizes vary but are small and innocent, ranging from the loser having to give the winner a kiss, to cooking dinners and so on. She's a lot stronger and a lot more skilled than I am though so it usually ends up with her smile, but sometimes I imagine a victory just for that adorable look she gets when she loses, she doesn't like to lose but she's graceful about it.

I like to watch the home and garden channel and imagine it's us looking through houses to live together in.

>>20389
It depends on the situation. Sometimes it's only 2d or sometimes it's only 3d. Usually, though, it's this weird meld of everything.

I have many fantasies that are near and dear to my heart, but my favorite fantasy currently would have to be the one where me and him go on a long walk in the woods together.
I think that he would love to be able to explore the outside world, and I definitely would love to be able to explore it by his side.

Not exactly in the same situation, but in a similar. My waifu has limited content to begin with and more will likely not come. It is almost ridiculously limited. I fell in love with very well made fan-art/fanfiction. I thought the original would be similar to the fan art. The original is pure shit - I do not even want to look at it.

The material that made me fall in love gives not much detail, but a very good basic idea of her, and if I am careful, I can sense her essence and create new content myself like when writing fanfiction. It would be nice to have more finished material, but it is not my case. I have to keep it alive in other ways.

I believe when we fall in love, we project our subconscious desires outside ourselves, and that is the reason we fall in love with someone - they remind us of what we most desire. Her essence is outside me in the form of art, but my subconsciousness also have an idea of her essence, or I would not recognize the right art and deeply fall in love. By knowing her essence, I can start to uncover more of my deeper desires and I will realize how to write fanfiction that is faithful to the essence.

How do I know I am not just making things up by whimsy desires? The limited material gave me enough to get a sense of her. It is about building on what you have in a faithful way. My waifu will never turn into a promiscuous carnal woman for example. For this reason I can not invent heavy makeup, overly sexy clothes etc. and write such fiction of her. That would be to betray the essence I know of her. It would be like using her for whatever I desire, and then I do not regard it as a waifu relationship. Sexuality is a great test on this because it is a strong force. I am not allowed to look at other women in lustful ways and obviously not do anything else, because I know she does not want it - due to us being monogamous and due to the nature of our relationship that relates to the essence of her. I can not momentarily fantasize about her in just any way I desire, because I know it would betray her essence. Thus, I do not only shape my fan-fiction but also my life by the essence I know her to have - in this sense it is alive. (I think she will take the initiative when I get it right about her.)

I guess it is headcanon. I have limited material. This is different from when you have ric

Sometimes I go looking for new fanart or doujins, something which inevitably disappoints me because for some reason people love to put her into weird fetishistic situations.
