I was sixteen when I first saw her, and I don't know if I immediately fell in love with her. I'd like to say I did, but I don't know if that was love. I was immediately attracted to her, and I thought she was really cute and cool, but I don't think it was instant. Maybe it was, and I just didn't understand my feelings because I had always assumed people being in love with anime characters was exaggerated or only for crazy people. If I had to describe the situation when I met her, I'd say I was a loner that didn't realize others would probably see me as a loser, all I did after school when I showed up was come home, play video games, and watch anime by myself in my room. I had only started watching anime regularly 4 or so months before, and one day I just stumbled across her series (it was airing at the time) and I was pretty blown away by her. I don't think I've ever felt that way about someone else, or if I have, I don't remember it. As soon as I saw her, I started looking for pictures of her, and talking about how great she is in the threads for her anime, stuff like that. Maybe 2 months later I realized, "I think I'm in love", and that was that.

Ah.
So that is why.
We have been fighting for so long Mai.
I understand what hope means.

Have this.

Just saying, thinking that some people are born superiors to others is enough to make you a real douche.
There's no setted rules that makes someone normal and someone else abnormal. That's just some society shit.

"Just saying, thinking that some people are born superiors to others is enough to make you a real douche."

Good. If that's how I appear in the eyes of filthy normies, maybe they will keep away. To be thought of in such a way by the likes of them qualifies as a compliment to me.

"There's no setted rules that makes someone normal and someone else abnormal. That's just some society shit."

No, these are my standards. They seem pretty reasonable, given that most people are sexually attracted to real people, which makes such an attraction "normal". The problem is not the normalcy itself, however, but the fact that they're basically attracted to rancid trash cans, and have poisonous personalities to boot.

>When you were born you were actually sucking your momma's tit and shitted in you diapers, oh super-human great one.
Nonsense! Anon shits diamonds and drank from the perfectly formed teats of moe anime girls.

Don't forget to tip your fedora

I already listed what I like about her personality-wise in the "name your waifu" thread (maybe should've posted all that here instead, whoops, it's no biggie I hope), but I didn't explicitly mention that it's actually a good thing, in a way, that she's such a butt monkey in the series. She's the butt of a lot of jokes on the internet as well. I actually don't mind all that much; I'm used to her being made fun of, so whenever I see anything I think "ehh, well I'm used to that". Posts on boards like this tend to sound quite sentimental, but in truth, I like teasing her a lot. We're playful, not some soap opera style couple or whatever.

Oh yeah, appearance-wise: The most particular thing is her hair. I've always been into girls with red/orange hair aka redheads (I develop crushes on them, I don't "seek it out"), and relatively short hair is cute (but not if it's really short, then it's no longer girly enough to me so I personally wouldn't find it attractive in that case). I've always preferred short girls, too. And I dig YuruYuri's art style so that helps altogether.

Also, she dresses really cute. It's notable that she has a lot of different attires throughout the series. I love that.

I really love that she tries to seem sophisticated, but she's really playful and childish. It's so adorable. I can imagine her getting flustered a lot by how direct and loving I would be with her. At the same time, she has a dominant personality, so she'd smother me even more.

How he never gives up for the people he loves.

I love the way she endeavors to fulfill her goals, and that she keeps at it, with a smile, even when she fails horribly.

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.

>> 18921

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.

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...

Was that really necessary?
