Furfag waifus are not true waifus

>>19042
Oh shut the fuck up. People have been using the term '2D' here for years.

Only once.

Just her smile leaves me satisfied.

No love for a 3DPD, so I can't help you there.

I was browsing the internet and stumbled across a picture of her and was struck down by a "lightning bolt of love" so to speak. It was the most profound feeling that I couldn't look away from the picture for quite some time, researched about her, made a folder dedicated to her, and put the image inside. I don't make folders dedicated to anybody! Ever! For months afterwards, I would think about her all the time and look at images of her whenever I had the chance. I made her as my background image! I edited existing pictures so that I would have my own OC for her! Even music took on her shade, so that lyrics carried more meaning than they should have. So smitten was I that I wrote poetry! What the hell was I doing with my life? Nothing, at the time. Taking an interest in writing, giving it that try needed to push me in this direction, it was because of this love. What a silly thing. Stupid, even. But it was love.

And nothing I did could take the edge away from that feeling. It was so powerful that I wondered how I could live my life like this if it kept up. I knew of waifus, even had a phase where I "loved" a 2D character out of loneliness, but none of it had prepared me for what I had felt there at the beginning of our love. The contrast between that "crush" and this true love was so great that it made me sick that I had ever even considered someone else to be on that same level. It hurt so much, yet was so gratifying knowing that I had found "the one". A love for a 2D girl... It was painful, perhaps still is, but it is something that I would never trade for anything. Thankfully, the love is still there, but it is not as intense and overwhelming as it was in the start. I would have killed myself, undoubtedly, if it had kept that intensity as a constant. Being that helpless for life would have driven me insane; that's how powerful my initial 2D love was.

I had never heard of Tulpa's before now, it sounds really interesting.
I think I'll try this out after reading all the guides.
Congratulations by the way, I hope it keeps going good for you.

if only...

I love Remilia.

Get that scarecrow out of here please, we don't like strawmen. I do how ever love playing the Devils Advocate.
For the sake of the the argument what if I said Fuurin Rei was my waifu.(She isn't.) She is from eastern media, but she is also a furry. So what then? Furry waifus are not allowed, but she is from eastern media, does that suddenly make it right? Now you have a fallacy there.

I understand that tohno is supposed to be for anime, and waifuism started from anime, but everything evolves in some form.

I never expected to have a waifu in the first place, it's just something that sort of happened to me, and it just happened to not be from anime, even though I watched a lot of it.

The fact that I've only ever found two places that you can openly talk about waifuism and I get rejected by one of them cause the character I love is not from eastern media is troubling.
I agree some peoples 'waifus' can be questionable, but you have to have a little leeway.

You don't compute sarcasm, do you?

>>19004
I don't know what leeway you are talking about, and you are doing a great deal of it anyway. The rules basically didn't change, except that they explicitly allowed something that wasn't explicitly banned in the first place. The fact that in the last half-year this problem received the most feedback tells a lot about this board. Some people suggest that some fresh blood is needed, some change. Others don't want the change. And that is the only topic being discussed on a waifu board - scholastic discussion about what the waifuism really is.

>>19009
Neither the board wasn't intended to be a soap-box arena fro quasi-political debates.

I understand why people don't want to
> openly spill out details of their personal relationship with their special person on a public website
But then this website is doomed to be left for flame, dramas and shit storm, with occasional posts about someone's waifu.

>>18965
It was pretty obvious the limbs were fake

Her size is conciderably shorter now though.

Her canon material had long since finished when I fell for her, so I didn't have any issues like that.

I do feel for people who have waifus from an ongoing series. It must get nerve-wracking for them at times, especially if they're under any sort of peril.

>>18965
My waifu hasn't changed much in the two or so years since I fell for her, so no. I don't think I'd handle it very well if it did happen.
>>18969
My waifu is from an ongoing series, and pretty much every time I think about it I start getting nervous. The idea that at any point, something about her could change completely, or she could get hurt, or she could be removed as a character because she's not popular, is pretty scary honestly.

It is pronounced as Ari in Korean as well. The Ah sound doesn't exist in Korean / Japanese. I figured the majority of users would better understand the Japanese phonology as this is primarily an anime culture-oriented board.

>>18927
That is odd, but seeing that she has a Korean name (or at least reference) Ari is fine. How long have you been with Ari for? Original origin is really all that matters. You can change the name in the lolclient if you use a custom skin i think.

>>18929

I don't really mind. I am ethnically Korean, but I don't identify myself as such. I don't feel the need to associate her with a Korean identity, even if she may be based upon their folklore, as not only Japan, but China has the myths regarding the Nine-tailed foxes as well.

I prefer the name Ahri for her, or sometimes Aeri or Airi. Her name shouldn't sound rigid; I associate her with the wind. Carefree and unbound, even by hard syllables.

Yeah I sometimes change the lolcilent to Korean just to hear her Korean VA sometimes, but I don't see her in game as actually her.

The in-game Ahri is more of a representation of her. I have a tulpa of her. That's the real Ahri to me.

>>18930
Oh I see. I can't cope with playing LoL too much, the negativity really gets to me these days. I had thicker skin when I was a teenager/child though that was because I had more to fall back on.

damn, somehow l managed to overlook the buttons and mix the fields at the same time, please pardon my idiocy.

I'm really nervous about posting about my love for him anywhere, for a variety of reasons, so like a few others in this thread I try to be really vague when I do. I think most of my friends know I like him, but I don't think any of them realize how serious I am. I tried being honest with one of them but I'm pretty sure he thought I was just joking.

A part of me really wants to gush about how much I love him whenever I can, but another part of me feels like it's really nobody's business. Since he's always on my mind, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to completely avoid the topic.

My closer friends know and are all okay with it. My best friend doesn't really like any form of romance but I really wanna talk about my waifu to him often. I feel bad when I do since he never knows what to say or anything. Sometimes he'll mention my waifu in a conversation and it makes me happy.

Aside from people I know, I post a few waifu communities like this place.

There's one friend who also has a waifu but he seems private about it so we don't talk much about the topic. Its a bit of a shame. Talking about her makes me feel closer to her.

I used to talk a lot in waifu communities when I first fell in love, but after a while it's become a private thing I discuss with a few close irc friends.

Oh god, I didn't think through this before posting it. Yeah, that was a bad idea. Can some mod delete that post for me? I don't know how to.

Also: it's a trading card. I'm really sorry.

If you insist...

>>18820
Was that really necessary?

>>18842
probably

With a bit of oneiromancy,
And a -certain- shred of luck-
A locked door has been opened,
And something runs amok.

As a start,
It carved itself a seat,
Rent the vessels,
Despoiled, here, this heart.
And became O' so ever, ne'er stopping, however,
Despite us being O' so ever frighteningly-
Both so sickeningly-
Replete.

Thusly, we repeat:

How lovely... OtherHalf. ;)

>but that does not discredit the fact that as a thought she lives through you. Or, at least, the concept of her does.

I agree on this for sure, serious ideas never truly die. A essence of her will always live whithin me, for better or for worse. For me though, such an idea can never come to motion or reality (literally).

>There certainly is room for love without it, you just have to change your own perspective on the matter.

Thing is though, I don't know how I can do that, aside from fantasy I can only literally just look at her and hope things go the best way, not much room for love there I assure you, more of a family support if anything.

>wouldn't enjoying your own life to its fullest be the one thing to make her the happiest, above all else, given the circumstances?

I also agree on this wholeheartedly, I feel pretty good with how things are doing for my life, I've actually done a few things to better myself for her. On top of that I have a well established plan after school to go through with my fairly realistic dream of being a police officer. The future doesn't look so bleak for me, I just know I wouldn't be the worst guy for a real relationship with her if the circumstances would allow it.

With that said, holy shit guys, thanks a lot for the support, in these short days I've definetly been feeling better. Even though I'm hurt when I know I can never experience a true 2d relationship like you guys, I know that my waifu is unchanged from all this, I know that I can still support her to a real extent and I'm hopeful things will be right for her. And with that, things are looking alright. I'll go down my path and she will walk down her's, we don't have to be waking on the same road. Nevertheless I'll still be watching her, hoping things will be just fine for her.

Well it's been a week since the big "breakup" happened. I'm glad to say I've made a full recovery and I feel better than before, I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm actually glad the delusions of our so called relationship were finally lifted, as in I stopped kidding myself with the fact that I seriously thought we were actually in a real relationship together. Things feel much more clear now.

Initially, as you can tell by the OP post, I was beyond distressed, it sounds cheesy but my whole world was falling apart emotionally, there were actual symptoms I felt that actually affected my mental health. They were:

-More depressed, this one was obvious enough

-More prone to illness, too much of the most menial things such as waking around or listening to music gave me a painful headache. And I just felt worse in general.

-Anytime I saw her face or was reminded of her in any way shape or form it was just like another quick, sharp and painful jab of depression kicking in

-I hated myself more and I had lower self esteem, this one was also obvious enough.

With the help and support of the users in this thread, I came to realizations such as the fact that she's unchanged from all this and that I can still support her physically as her manga series is still going strong with a bright future. In time It became easier to cope with and sure enough I actually became glad things turned out the way they did.

Overall I'd say it was one hell of a experience that changed me for the better, again, thanks so much guys for the support, I know I couldn't make it without it.

I'm glad it worked out. It was very clear for me that this was the right thing for you.
