I can't say I can fully relate to how you feel, but I understand completely.

There was a thread on here from someone who had Risa Kamizaki from Amagami as their waifu. I know the series pretty well, so I knew about her myself. She had three appearances in two seasons in the anime, and in two of these appearances she wasn't even central to the plot.

For me it was a bit of a reality check. I felt really bad for wishing that mai waifu had more than just cameo appearances in the first nine episodes in her series, or had more fan art, and felt relatively fortunate.

All I can say is to not be deterred by the lack of canon for your waifu. The ability to form it yourself has its upsides.

>I can see why someone would consider it to be shallow since one can basically take a character such as this and mold it into their ideal partner.

There are plenty of people out there who have Hatsune Miku, and the other vocaloid characters as a waifu/husbando, and none of them have a set personality. I don't find it a bad thing, personally.

If you really think it's not working out anymore between you and Lizlet, then there is no shame in switching waifus. The most important thing is being happy, so do whatever will make you happy.

Then it is settled, my waifu now is Saber Lily

I feel like if I saw another character with less flaws and more strength I wouldn't feel the urge to protect and support her. Or if there was a character that shared more similarities with me (I can honestly say that Nadeko Sengoku or Tomoko Kuroki might be more similar to me than not) that would be just kind of annoying and unsettling, and I wouldn't be able to have my waifu as an ideal. I consider my waifu pretty top-tier as to cuteness and I like her body shape as well... Just curious if you had any particular reasons for switching to Saber Lily.

Considering that Saber Lily is simply Saber with a different clothing that leans on the more "girlish" side, she has a tragic background (being betrayed) that made her regret her decision that the reason why she become a Heroic Spirit is to change her past.

If you were to see that, it feels that you want to protect her and support her emotionally; sure she is capable on annihilating an enemy such as other Servants but what she needs is emotional protection and support.

The thing about Lizlet is that she is already capable of protecting herself (the manga and anime shows that she has great physical strength despite that she appears to be the opposite) and her only flaw is that she gets intimidated fast (she is the comic-relief in the main cast of Omamori Himari) and unless you attack her true body which is a century-old teacup, she is pretty much invulnerable... well her human manifestation.

Saber Lily on the other hand, like the other servants, can be harmed and even killed without attacking a specific object and I do not like the idea of seeing a 2D girl being hurt and even swimming in their own blood; there are pictures of original Saber being in this condition but seeing Saber Lily in that condition is more heart-breaking.

Though I also did have some sort of attachment towards another girl which is Nodoka Haramura, it was Saber Lily that ultimately got my affection.

I still feel attached to her and wouldn't trade my experiences for anything, but I'm questioning whether she aided in my recovery or if my recuperation was entirely by my own volition.

>She stopped being a part of my life once I started making progress with it. She's still everything I adore in a fantasy being, and it would be virtually impossible for me to make a similar connection to any other character.

Echoes my feelings perfectly.

As pathetic as it sounds, I couldn't leave her even if I wanted to. She's everything I'm ever going to have. I cannot love nor be loved by actual people.

>>15093
same here bro

>>15093
It doesn't sound pathetic to me at all.

Best wishes to your waifu

Happy birthday, I hope you guys have fun today.

Happy birthday~

Much appreciated, all, thank you. It was a wonderful day!

Congratulations; may there be many happy years ahead for the both of you.

Grats mate, keep the love going as long as you can.

How did I not spot this? One year is a wonderful milestone, I wish you both many many more!

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it.

It should also be noted that Eros is the only one that involves romantic love, in case anyone is confused on that.

After giving it some thought, I think my love for her was mostly geared towards agape. It was certainly not storge, and if it was mostly philia then I suspect I wouldn't have given up on it. Lastly, I can't recollect one moment where I wished to love her as intimately as eros would imply. She was always this sacred being I looked up to and wholly admired without condition. She was indeed like a goddess to me, and in my mind I was her sole follower.

Strangely though, I have 3 "close ones"

-One would be what we call "waifu" and would be a mix of Eros and Agape

-Other is a mix of Philia and Eros (kind of a fuckable soul friend) (bromance?)

-Other is a mix of Storge and Philia (kind of two soul friends helping each other, like a perfect team-up)

I have this going on forever

A colossal amount of Eros with a generous topping of Agape.

I do that too, it's quite comforting. I always spend a few minutes every night browsing through her pictures until I fall asleep.

She's on my phone too. I carry her pictures with me everywhere. Some people might think it's weird but most of the people around me don't seem to care that much, thankfully.

I've got >>14516 on my phone's wallpaper, and pic related on my lock screen.

It took me a while to start not giving a damn if other people look at my phone. Don't know why, it's great seeing her face all the time, especially when I put my phone on charge just before I go to bed.

I don't have a phone, but similarly I won't be able to sleep unless she's around. I've gotten so used to this that if I'm not thinking of her then I feel like I'm completely alone and that scares me.

Come on guys.

Hey, at least we're in the majority. And the people who answered yes probably aren't here anymore.

I never understood what those questions were really asking.

Would I have a stable relationship with a 3D partner? No, because I already have a love. Is it asking that putting aside waifus? I don't know what you're asking me really.

Do I think having a waifu holds me back in 3D relationships? That doesn't make sense, at least not to me. I don't want a 3D relationship. Nothing's "holding me back," I just don't take part in those.

It's just if you had the opportunity now, so in your case surely a no.

>Do I think having a waifu holds me back in 3D relationships? That doesn't make sense, at least not to me. I don't want a 3D relationship. Nothing's "holding me back," I just don't take part in those.
If the decisive factor in that decision is you having a waifu, then that's a yes; if that doesn't change it then no.

>And, well, if you have a waifu you're almost bound to 'architect' her on some level, too.
Fair enough. I didn't really expect that comparison, but it makes sense.

At first I paired Kaede with Mizuki because of the sempai aspect, plus they were both raised in the entertainment industry. But Mizuki kind of drifted off.

I do like her with Yurika, actually. They're both very theatrical, but Kaede doesn't take it seriously so there's that humourous playfulness between them. Also they both love their costumes...

I also like Yurika with Sakura. They're both old-fashioned. But Yuri might be too bossy for her in the long term.

You're definitely right about the Waifu Lite, I think. It's like having friends and matchmaking them.

Yurika and Kaede just makes absolutely no sense to me at all. I can't see what they would possibility see in each other or have in common. I haven't even noticed them being together in the same room much. Yurika comes off like a loner who keeps to herself a lot where as Kaede is out going and eccentric. I don't think they have anything in common past being stuck in the same idol group for 3 or 4 ep.

If you feel like it let's continue there instead of derailing this thread even further.

Coping is hard. Reailty is hard. She's not here to make it better. I'm all alone without her. But I need her. I want to hold her. I want to be with her. Without her I have no purpose. There's no point to doing anything without being with the one I love. Almost three years now, and my yearning only increases. I can't live on without her. Not like this. I need her.

You see her, you can't touch her.
You hear her, you can't hold her.
You want her, you can't have her.
You want to, but she won't let you.

She's not so special so look what you've done, boy.

When a women buys herself an outfit as a gift for her partner, that's usually because it's something he would enjoy seeing her wear (or take off) as such, he gets something out of it. A figure of your waifu is something you and you alone can enjoy, your waifu doesn't get anything out of it.

...unless you believe the figure serves as some sort of interdimensional conduite that opens a gateway across the planes of reality allowing you to better interact with your waifu in her own realm of existence... but even then that's not much of a gift to her unless you believe she's over there waiting for you. otherwise such a scenario would be comparable to a stalker molesting a voodoo doll of the person they like.
But that's just how I see it.

A figure is a Shintai. Look that up.

And hotgluing is against the rules, all the time.

>>11961
That doesn't explain how the figure is a gift to the character it's based on, and not the person who bought it.

>>11952
I found it on Mandarake, I could have gone without it, but I felt that I should get her something so I scrounged up all my money and bought it.

>>11954
You could say that, but I choose to see it differently. I see is more as 'an ode' to her - I already buy figures for myself but buying one of her, for her feels a lot different.
