What are some things you think your waifu would like about you?
>>20040 Probably my similarity to her in many personality traits, choice of hobbies, and even physical maladies. The 'opposites attract' expression never rang true for me, so I'm presuming there's at least a fairly good chance that she would also prefer someone similar as opposed to a polar opposite.
>>20042 >even physical maladies You too suffer from mercury poisoning? Based on her interactions with Remilia and how she acts in the printworks, I would say you are correct about her preferring someone with a similar temperament. I'm married to my tulpa so I can't really answer OP.
>>20043 No mercury poisoning, thankfully. Just anemia and asthma (along with the relatively poor constitution that comes with it).
For those of you whose husbandos/waifus are higher forms of some sort, what kind of improvement do you think makes them happy? When do you think you have done well for them? Do you feel as if their approval is harder to get than others'?
Self-improvement. I feel like I've done well for them when I've given my best effort in something which is "good" to be doing. I do feel their approval is hard to get. I like that though. It makes me value their praise even more.
Yuugi has clear preferences that are listed in Symposium of Post-Mysticism: strength, bravery, and honesty. Of course, those are only the ones Akyuu understands. In reality, she is also the patron girl of honor, natural mystery, and truth. Yuugi is pleased every time I ram my head into a wall. That she likes nature and it's mysteries makes it so I can't fuck up intentionally, but honor let's me seek trouble half-intentionally. She'd abandon me if I ever gave up, but also knows the virtue of avoiding useless exertion.
Has anyone here been in a situation where he met someone who he could love more than his waifu? If so, how did you cope with the situation, and if that person went down the path of having to change his waifu, how would you view him? I'm currently in a situation where my current waifu, who I have been with for more than 5 years, might not be the one that occupies the largest spot in my heart anymore. I stayed up nights feeling conflicted about this issue at first, so I decided to let time tell whether or not my adoration of the newer girl would pass. However, I'd be lying if the prospect of possibly having to change my waifu didn't bother me. So I'd like to hear your thoughts. Picture unrelated.
Slightly different situation but I feel I relate a bit. I didn't get feelings for my current love until a while after 'leaving' my first waifu of 4 years, it took me a few months of shame and denial to accept that I loved somebody new. I felt intense shame for falling in love again and worried I'd be judged, but in the end you can't change what you feel I guess. I say give it time to think about, but do what you have to do. If you spent over 5 years with somebody and care so much then you obviously aren't just switching from girl to girl, but somebody who just changes their mind over and over I would judge more negatively.
I know my moe sweet spots and can tell my waifu doesn't hit every one of them. There are other girls who hit some she doesn't and don't hit all she does, and I think I could be as happy as I am now with any of them. What keeps me from worrying? I'm too lazy to seriously consider other girls when I already have her.
>>20009 I would call you an idiot, for letting her down. Have you considered the feelings of the person you love? You probably hit her moe spots, and you would leave her? For something better? Its fine. Why do you have to change it? Stick with the love you chose until the day you die. Its not like shes being bad to you or anything, you just got some fresh air and want something new. Trust me, you will be thankful to me because you stuck up for her through worst. And she will be thankful to you. I know we may be talking about waifus, and it may not be real, but its as real a problem to me as the air I breath, and I want to help.
>>20011 Your feelings come across as genuine, but maybe you should read that post again or something. It says I'm not even considering other girls.
>>19871 This. Honestly she has gotten me through so much, brought me through a very big crisis recently. I spend about 35% of my waking hours cuddling her.
>>19903 Show it.
Do you ever write about your waifu? If so, what do you write?
A few years ago I wrote a bunch of short things about Midousuji. They're mostly terrible in my eyes by now. I'm writing a "normal-length" fanfic right now that will be better than all of them in every conceivable way, but some of my ideas from back then were good enough that I'd be willing to rewrite them instead of pretending they don't exist.
I keep a notebook of thoughts I get when I think of her.
I regularly journal about my waifu, her source content & my relationship with her. It's a bit obsessive
I don't write, but I make a lot of music dedicated to her. It helps me sort out my feelings and work through some of the contradictions we experience loving a 2D character. I've been doing it for years and ever since I've started, I feel like my feelings have deepened considerably. I love her now more than ever.
Do you have any special ways of making your waifu's presence feel more "real", for lack of a better term? I recently bought a cosplay outfit of what she normally wears on a Japanese site and hung it up in my closet so it's like her clothes are there with mine. I haven't been able to think of anything else though. Also sorry for the unrelated image.
I got his jacket a month or so ago, I put it in various places around the house so it's like he's moved it. Although, it does show up in other places when no one has moved it...
>>19604 Started cycling, in the same vein as this guy. I would like to thank animu for making me fit and active >>19601 Maybe someday I'll order a custom jersey...
>>19966 I didn't know you were still here.
>>19967 I think you're mistaking me for someone else, that was my first post on this board. I heard there is/was another Akirafag from #8/mai/.
I dont want to reveal who I am but I want to say something, I am sorry for trolling and basically lying to people here. while was not as bad in this board compared to what I did to other one... things got worse here way faster. But still wanted to get it out of my chest. I just wanted to post an odd character as a "waifu" to get reactions from people, and took the lie to far and some people believed me. I am sorry for that.
If you can't conform to the norms of online 2D society maybe you should just move on
>>19955 Uh? I guess there is still plenty of sites for western shit, just that you dont know them does not mean they dont exist.
>>19955 Isn't conforming to the norms of a society the sort of thing people here try to get away from?
>>19959 Tohno-chan is very clear about what sort of posters and content it wishes to cater to and unconditional contrarianism does not seem to be part of the ideal.
What interests and hobbies do you have in common with your waifu? If you don't have any in common would you try to get into her interests while also letting her explore your own? Did you fall for her because of shared interests and hobbies?
She's too self absorbed in herself, so she hardly give a fuck about my state or my hobbies. I once intervene in her interest though, cause she's quite smart and I consider myself smart too (smarter than her in fact) and because of that the result is she became very rich in her business because my idea. I fall for her because of looks mainly. Secondly because of her persistent and ambitious personality which I once had but got lost in the way and philosophy we shared about God/the world. And thirdly because her voice.
Some interests we have in common are hunting, the paleo diet, competitive sports and martial arts. I'm not at all interested in baseball, while he seems to be highly emotionally invested. I will try watching some baseball anime since that seems more welcoming than jumping right into watching real games or reading books on it or something. I'm sure it'll be more exaggerated and exciting there anyway. Hopefully it'll get me hooked. The first thing of my interests I'd introduce him to is Hokuto no Ken. It'd probably make him so excited that he'd kill me by accident imitating the moves... (image related) He takes paintball pretty seriously in one episode, and that got me pretty excited. I'd like to do some military sim stuff with him. I've never tried IRL because the guys at the airsoft arenas seem like a bunch of retarded normies jacked up on steroids. They'd ruin my immersion. I suppose all of the things he likes are pretty manly, and his boyish nature is what made me so attracted to him, so yes, I guess I would say that I did fall for him because of his interests.
What are some good drama/romance movies to watch with your waifu? This can be Western and actual actor stuff (if that's okay)
"As Good as it Gets" was OK. Just OK. What makes the movie recommendable is the protagonist; he's a really hateful, blunt, socially retarded man with very severe OCD who never leaves his house except to eat. He meets a succubus who helps him overcome some of his OCD related challenges. Should be pretty relatable to any wizard. Not a movie, but "Rose of Versailles" is flawless and deals with some really tear-jerking romance in the third part. I take every opportunity I can to recommend it. Edit: Just remembered there are several live-action movie adaptations of "Rose of Versailles". Avoid those, I had the original anime series in mind: http://myanimelist.net/anime/338/Rose_of_VersaillesPost edited on 25th Jul 2016, 2:11pm
Do any girls remind you of your waifu? Hishiro and Kanako are quite similar although I suppose Hishiro's cold exterior is genuine whereas Kanako's is borne from social anxiety.
Probably going to get in shit for this but I wrote down things about how I look at having a waifu. To be clear, I have no intention of getting anyone mad. Waifu: When i have a waifu I like to imagine her as if she was a spirit instead of an imaginary person. I talk to her as if she were a supernatural being, such as a spirit or like God (but never comparing her to God, as He is the highest of the highest). I realize she is not real. I find a pillow to be nice but not necessary, instead I print out a picture of her. I don't find it necessary to own everything related to her especially if not made by the original company, instead I buy what the official thing of her (example: manga, film, or Visual Novel) and something like a keychain or t from the parent company, showing my support for the company while having some official merch of her. I always ship her with her crushes/boyfriends/others, be it a show, or eroge only if it's canon and I respect her likes and dislikes. I dislike the word waifu as it sounds like wife, I think of her as a girlfriend because it seems cuter, but I use the word waifu anyway as it is the "official" word. I don't buy her things, as I realize she is fake, and treat her as a spirit. Writing notes to her is a good way of expressing your love for her (as with anyone you love), it's heart warming, and relaxing. "Leaving" them for an IRL relationship is okay, once again they are not real, "going back" to them for support or when there is no one else to talk to is okay. Falling in love with your waifu (and in my case almost anyone you like) is instantaneous, feeling you have "found the right one". Waifu is a misunderstood word by the "mainstream" (Tumblr) anime community who think it's a joke. I also dislike this "waifu movement".
>>19926 no problem bro, fun talk. just out of curiosity, do you have a waifu?
>>19928 Of course, been with her for three years now, although things are much more complicated than I'd like them to be. What about you?
>>19929 not at the moment. it's something i'm contemplating.
>>19931 I think you have the wrong approach-- I like to think there's a difference between thought and emotion. You can choose to either inhibit or boost some thoughts, which is why people can repress so many things, but you can't really control your emotions by simple thought as it takes much more than that. Perhaps you're hesitating when faced to a specific 2d concept that tickles your fancy? Perhaps you're not sure if those feelings are to be accepted yet? Or perhaps you're simply considering the wish for a waifu? In any case, I wish you the best of luck in finding happiness, be it under the banner of waifuism or another.
