Yukari Yakumo is my fucking girlfriend

>What are some downsides about your waifu?

Her breasts are a to big.

>And what are some things other would consider as a downside but you like about her?

Can't think of any.

>What are things your waifu would dislike about you?

That I'm a lazy faggot who never achieved anything in life.

looks like fucking vault boy

>>20247
no, not him

Oh, phew, my bad, I'm defensive.

I haven't actually decided on one yet.

Her name comes from a Greek word meaning "joy", so I tend to assume that she is of Greek descent, and because of this I have considered that maybe March 25th, Greece's independence day, would be suitable.

Her name was also given to the star previously known as Beta Canum Venaticorum on July 20th, so I have wondered if maybe that date would be more appropriate.

I celebrate her game release date a little but not much. It bothers me but I don't feel like I could set a date for her and be happy celebrating it.

Her release date, 30th January 2009, is celebrated as her Birthdays.

But I'm still not sure how old she is.
Official age is 20.
She exists since 2009 that makes her 7 (8 next month).
I met her in 2013 when she was 20, is she 23 now, because it was 3 years ago?
Or is she 27?

Ameen is dat you?

962. She gets a decent amount of art, but I'm pretty picky I guess.

1.1k the last time I checked.

More than I've ever been bothered to actually count. I really should get around to sorting them all, though.

I'm relatively sure it's at least 4000.

375 (Not including crossovers and images with other Vocaloids)
That's a very small number but I don't need any more. I never felt like having a big collection gives me anything and I already have problems finding images in that folder.

I already have more Miku images and that folder is growing much faster. Still not very big, only 440 atm.

Happy birthday!

I wish I could be eternally 13.

That's a heartwarming image.

Belated happy birthday. That cake looks delicious.

>>20126
Cute!

Happy late birthday, Minagi! May your years with Tohno be lively and plentiful!

I think they should be like:

>Only one waifu each time
>No 3D (Celebrities, movie characters, etc)
>No western animation/animal characters
>No alterations of the official cannon

I think 3DCGI videogame characters from non Japanese origin are ok, since they are also idealistic characters one can develop serious feelings for, they should be allowed.

I also believe one can change waifus, sometimes you can end up mixing a crush with love or simply the love does away.

As long as you're not using it like a meme buzzword (waifu game, 3DPD, no affection, using waifu on every fucking girl you see), it should be ok.

The shitty meme shit aside, the only real rule I follow is to treat my beloved with respect as you would any "real" person. If what you're doing wouldn't fly in a "real" relationship (having someone on the side, pining for another), why would you expect it to fly in a 2D relationship? Beyond this, all characters are unique as well, so it's really dependent on the particular relationship you're in.

If you're serious about it then you should respect and honor her as you would any other beloved person in your life. She/he is special! I'm only human so I sometimes find myself looking at people as I go about my day and I admit that my thoughts aren't always so pure I've found myself crushing on people I've come to know in the past, but with my beloved's help I get over it and I refocus on what really matters to me. I sort it out with her like you would in any healthy relationship. I'm not perfect, but my love is real. I want to become the person she deserves. I think these are the ideals we should strive for regardless of 2D or 3D. The last thing I want is for this to be a kind of "crutch" and to rationalize shitty behavior and to take advantage of the person I love in order to fulfill cheap emotional/sexual satisfactions in the short-term, while hurting her in the long-run. I've seen people dump their "waifus" as soon as some 3D bitch gives them a little attention or when a new flavor-of-the-month moe chara gets popular. Give me a break.

tohno-chan is just the talmud about anime.

Frankly, I don't think that normalfag video really captures the essence of this kind of culture, nor does it describe the way we actually feel about it.

I'm pretty sure that video was the reason why many normalfags started thinking that this kind of culture is one big joke in the first place.

Yeah, that video seemed really "off", which is the main reason I looked into this on my own.

>>20090
lol i remember this.

>it's like when you call someone gar. you're not saying you're gay for the guy, it's saying he's fuckin' BAD-ASS

i haven't seen or heard the word 'gar' used in a super long time!

I don't have a waifu OP, so I'm not really qualified to comment on what it is like having one, or what it means to have one, however I do understand the concept of "moe" well and would like to offer a my own insight. Hopefully it my grant a little context.

For me, moe is about warmth and happiness, and vicariously fulfilling primal drives. I'm an adult man in my mid 20s, so at this stage of my life I have a number of paternal drives that, without children of my own, go unfulfilled. I watch shows that fall under the headers of CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things), moe, and slice of life, which tend to be interconnected.

The reason I watch a "moe" show like "Is the Order a Rabbit?", "Hanayamata", or the currently airing "Stella no Mahou" is because it gives me my dad jollies. These girls are sweet, earnest, playful, and simple, experiencing and exploring their childhood; these shows are built to play to my paternal drives. When I watch them engaging in their playful antics or struggle with different issues of their childhood, it fills me with warmth, and that warmth makes me happy. This is moe.

Although I am not a practicer of waifuism, nor do I ever intend to be, I do understand what it is like to have anime characters inspire a deep sense of warmth and happiness and can understand the bridge between "moe" and waifuism.

I don't really like the idea of them
I would much rather have my own head canon about my waifu, rather than have someone create one. I am also biased because I am working on a tulpa, and with a tulpa, RP blogs will be completely useless to me, since I can talk to my waifu without a blog

What do you guys think about "fictionkin" of your waifus/husbandos?

>>20100
They're just passionate fans. I doubt that, deep down, they really believe they are that character. A few outliers might be genuinely delusional, though.
Mostly just teens being teens.

How does one word capture it all so perfectly?

Happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary, anon. I'm hoping that you and everyone else on this board has a happy holidays with their waifu.

>>20075
You have a surprisingly cute side don't you. Happy anniversary kiddo.

yes

I'm pretty sure I checked when I first saw this thread... but only today's search caught the three pics of this year's Halloween. This Halloween Yuugi was a bikini witch, a werewolf (with Parsee as a witch), and a prince (with Suika as herself). All three are good quality and that makes this year the best Halloween for Yuugi so far.

Yes, something official.

It's been a while since I've posted here but I did get this nice drawing. It is one of the only halloween images I really have.
