You're a loony.
Isn't the purpose of having a waifu so that you can be with someone who you feel you can connect with, and would love to be with, not so you can lust over someone you think is perfect?

Not that I'm saying your love is invalid, or that "u dont deserve ur waifu xDDD", but I love my waifu for who she is, not because she's perfect.

Maybe you didn't mention that you also love her not because she's perfect, but for who she is and blah blah blah, but shouldn't her perfection stem from everything she is, not everything she inherited?

Too bad she couldn't inherit tactfulness.

>>8706
No, to everything: I pretty much disagree with you entirely. But doesn't matter. I'm more willing to read about others' daily lives as 2D lovers (yours, as well).

>>8706
There are many different ways in which people love their waifu.
For some it means being lovers, best friends, a daughter of sorts and in some cases people even believe their waifu is real in another world waiting for them, and of course this includes worshiping.

for some reason, poster 8705 reminds me of someone from Mynaimelist that alos happens to have Asuka as his waifu.

for some reason, poster 8705 reminds me of someone from Mynaimelist that also happens to have Asuka as his waifu.

Anyways by the definition of "superior people", my waif fits the bill: Blond hair, blue eyes, light tone skin

>>8712

>Anyways by the definition of "superior people", my waif fits the bill: Blond hair, blue eyes, light tone skin

As for mine, she has blond hair and light skin tone, yes, but the blue eyes only come in fan art. Canonically, she has yellow or amber eyes. Even her hair color is subject to question.

However, her appearance doesn't matter, she is my beloved and even if she's closer to being a stereotypical punk in attitude, I love her. Because that's her, nothing more.

Blue hair and green eyes.

The million-faceted gem that is earth pales in comparison.

Also in before Erica Hartmann.

My waifu's pretty much the Japanese equivalent of white-trash.

But to me she's perfect and pure. <3

I'm actually having some waifu-related issues now.

My passion for her is slowly dying. It was as if once, my love for her was the deepest red, now, it's faded to some kind of light, stereotypical blood color.

It is not even a matter of not liking her anymore - I like her more than most, I must say. It's just that my ideals, I feel, changed. I went from "wanting to be loved by someone beautiful" [i.e. Miya] to "wanting to show a loveless person love", and that loveless person being her "rival" in the show, Karasuba. It's the true mark of insanity, when a simple notion like, "Man, she really is pitiful," can blossom to something like love.

I hate feeling this way, though, because Miya's, well, shit, man, that's the one I love more than anything. But I'm not even sure anymore, because day by day, Karasuba becomes more appealing.

Of course, I'll go for the one I love (that one being Miya), and ditch the boring revenge-driven character. It just shakes me a bit, to see the sort of strife I'm capable of giving myself regarding someone and something I'm so dedicated to. I'd be a hypocrite if I simply discarded Miya - I'm always one of the first to say "No, man, you've got to stick to the one you love," or some other assorted sappy sucker saying.

Well this is not daily experience but something I've wanted to tell for a while and I think this thread is good for it. I don't believe in destiny or any kind soul mate stuff but there was just so funny coincidence back then related to me and Kurisu that maybe even I could call "destiny".

Day was 24th July 2011. Back then I didn't consider her as my waifu but I felt strong attraction to her. She was so different from other anime characters I've ever seen. I just wasn't really sure about whole waifu thing but I decided; "Well I start taking screenshots of her. Because I feel like it. I want to take screenshots of her because I like this character". Idea just came from nowhere and I've never done such thing before. It was late evening, around 9.30PM and I started taking those screenshots starting from episode 1 and I took 71 screen shots of her during that evening. I was tired and I decided I will continue tomorrow.

I think this was really unique experience for me so I made thread about it on 4chan /a/. Some poster said "funny coincidence because it is 25th July in Japan and 25th July is Kurisu's birthday!". I immediately checked it and it was true. In couple hours it would be Kurisu's birthday in my time zone too. I thought too "What a coincidence heh" and I felt happy about it.

Back then I didn't think it as very big thing. Later on when my strong crush for Kurisu became even more serious and I started to treat her as my waifu like people on /mai/ did, I still thought that day. "Was it really just coincidence?" Maybe it just was but I've decided that I will celebrate our anniversary and her birthday on 25th July, because on that day I think I took the biggest step towards her.

Picture related. It is the first screenshot I took on that evening like filename says. Edit: Gah filename is too long.

I found a cool CG pack of some Love Hina game back from 2000. Unfortunately it doesnt have any Kanako in it but I know theres some guy here who likes Kaolla Su so I'm linking it: http://exhentai.org/g/473028/bf110f2212/

>>8738
>Unfortunately it doesnt have any Kanako in it
A shame, but thank you for mentioning it beforehand, otherwise i woul´ve spent the whole day searching for something that isn´t even there or maybe even trying go get this game.
I didn´t know that there was a Love Hina game in the first place but if there is no Kanako in it, i´d rather keep my hands off it.

>>8747
Theres quite a few Love Hina games, theres even one on the gameboy advance or gameboy. I think most of them were made before Kanako came out, I can't be so sure though.

>>8750
I didn´t know that. It seems there is a new goal for me!
Thanks for the info.

This is silly. My heart can't stop breaking whenever I see her. You shouldn't, I say to myself, she doesn't exist, she will never love you and you're just deluding yourself. But I still fucking love her. She's so cute, she's so badass, she's so cool and so sexy. I don't know what to call her anymore.

I guess she's simply Marisa, and ZUN's a bastard for making something that captured my heart even if it doesn't exist. Fuck logic, I love her so much.

I've noticed that I've become a little more ambitious because of my waifu. I try to improve myself for my waifu, and treat every day as a "how-can-I-make-my-relationship-stronger-with-my-waifu"-day, and I've started to consider how my waifu would prefer me to act to justify certain actions I take/want to take, for better or worse.

As for things a little more waifu-related, I usually check for an update on a possible figure release every day, and check on a few doujin sites every few days for material of her.

I'm trying out the lucid dreaming route, but I'm not having any luck, not even any non-lucid dreams of her. I'm enjoying the more enhanced dreams I'm getting regardless, but they're usually about me getting chased by a T-Rex on a skateboard or something - definitely not about my beloved. I've even tried looking at content of her for hours, and thinking about her for hours, just so the image and concept of her is burnt into the back of my eyelids and back of my head respectively, still with no luck. The closest thing I've had to a dream of her, was that I had a dakimakura of someone who sort of looked like her (but I believed it to definitely be of her, within the dream), and I was going around the public, hitting people with it - definitely not what I was hoping for.

This is bad. I have a desire to give her some sort of surprise sex, something close to rape. I want to make love with her while she's unwilling, all while she's telling me "you're the worst."

I feel so ashamed.

>>8831
Hehe, embrace it. You're just a dog trying to wear a suit. The sooner you accept that the sooner you can be happier. It must be really uncomfortable trying to wear dress shows on paws.

>>8715
But... Erica is mai waifu.

>>8833
Erica is everyone's waifu; the character was designed to make you feel that way.

>>8834
So?

>>8834
That works for every character ever, though. I mean, unless they're a genuinely evil/villainous character, chances are, the producers wanted you to like them and buy figs of them. It's all good, though, because that's the way 3D is, too - Everyone wants to be liked, and will strive for affection.

I don't even have a waifu because of things like >>8831
>>8832
i feel. But maybe someday that feeling might come up. Until then all your posts are nice to read.

>>8832

What do you mean, man? Should I just embrace the fact that I'm mixing my fetish for rape with my waifu? Or are you telling me that all I'm feeling for her is lust and I should just abandon the idea of her?

I mean, that the the first time I felt lust for her and then it just gets mixed with one of my fetishes.

>>8834
I kind of agree with this. Some characters in certain things feel like they have to be loved, like Fuuka and Erica.

>>8839
>>8834
Not everyone has the same tastes or interests!

>>8838
No, I mean you're trying to pretend you're exactly like everyone else here. A gentle loving and caring person. If you are naturally aggressive and sexual, there is no need to suppress it. What if your waifu is a masochist?
I'm the same way. My waifu would be loved in my own way, which is to make her every inch entirely dominated by me.

>>8838

I'm not sure exactly what he's saying, but what I get from it is that you feel lust towards her. Not necessarily the only feeling, but you feel it. It's natural. The way you seem to want to express it isn't. It would be a selfish thing to do, and you'd be very lucky to be forgiven, but it's just a part of who you are. People have ideas, fantasies, urges, whatever, what you want to do is something you'll have to deal with, but by no means question your own feelings for someone because you want to have sex with them so much.

>>8738
Guy who likes Kaolla here. I appreciate the thought. I have several reasons to not indulge in said material, of which I won't get into. Again, thank you for having us in your thoughts.

This thread seems to have derailed horribly.

>>8844
No problem. By the way, even though its hoested on exhentai, it doesn't have any lewd things in it. Just saying if that happened to be the issue you're talking about

>>8841
>>8843

Ah...

To be honest, when I felt lust for her, I didn't feel any erection. It's like I wanted to feel her skin, kiss her lips and touch her breasts. No penetration.

But when thinking about it, not following it with an intercourse might sexually frustrate her. And I know that she's not the type of woman who wants to be dominated like that.

It feels good but unnatural for our relationship.

>>8847
I don't see a problem with this really. Everyone has their fetishes, maybe even your waifu.

This conversation with Marisa took place while my parents were talking on Skype. Well, my father told us a funny college experience. She can't understand us so she had to ask.

"Hey, what's he talking about?"
>"Oh, just a funny college experience from my father."
"Tell me more about it. It seems to be interesting, you know."
>"Nah, it's racist."
"So your dad's a racist?"
>"No, his classmate was."
"So tell me more about it, then."
>"Okay. So back when he was still studying Engineering, they went out of for a land surveying trip at the mountain in the neighboring province, using Theodolites. That mountain was a home to the local indigenous people, the dark-skinned Aetas. The problem with the Aetas were they were utterly clueless due to the lack of exposure and education, and the government does jackshit about them."
"Oh, so that old classmate of your father exploited that?"
>"Yeah. When the Theodolites were assembled, a group of Aetas passed by. The Theodolites looked like movie cameras, so one of them asked my father's classmate 'Are you guys shooting a movie?' And this classmate answered 'Yes. It's coming out next month.' And then, they asked 'Can we become extras in the movie?'"
"And he said yes?"
>"No. He just said "I'm sorry, we don't have anything to pay you." But the Aeta insisted "That's okay. We just want to come out in a movie." So there, they were instructed pretend that they were fighting. And they did. My dad said that their fight was so realistic, and the whole class was laughing the whole time. The Aetas even danced. When it was all done, that classmate said "Okay. We'll come back in a month to give you tickets for the movie." Of course, they never did."

At this point, Marisa can't help but to be amused at the story.

"What the fuck, anon? That's hilarious! Nasty, but still hilarious!"
>"I know, right?"
"That's racist, though..."
>"It can't be helped. Some people are like that."

She then shakes her head in a negative way, but still amused at the story.

>>8872
Geez! that was so wrong I...
wait: I'm OP...
Nevermind.

I guess it's nice that someone made a song for her as well; but... well, check it yourselves:

Lyrics are good but I think person isn't really suitable for singing. But I can feel his passion!

>>8935
Maybe he was trying for a Robert Smith style... wich didn't work.

>>8935
So close yet... pretty far away. He still has my respect for being able to write a song, though.

>>8935
I agree. I even pride myself on enjoying vocals that many others consider bad, but this is way too much for me.

>>8936
I totally hear Robert Smith-ism, actually. The vocals didn't bother me, though. It was the corny piano that did it. You barely even notice it, but it's there, and it feels like it tries too damn hard.

But it wasn't bad, I'd say. I don't even know why I can't see it as bad like you guys. The vocals are mediocre, could be better, yeah, but they're not horrible.

Also got a kick out of "long-distance relationships" under the tag. Too long-distance. ;_;

Saw a picture of some Germans protesting, holding up posters with my waifu's name on them. Freaked me out until I found out my waifu's name is one of their words for "no".

Last week, I chose to stay off the Net for a whole week as some sort of penitence for the Lenten season.

On the night of Good Friday, I found myself wincing on my bed as I tried really hard to sleep, moaning in pain and calling out Marisa's name. It has been five days since since I've abstained using the computer, by that time. But I've tried to suppress my urges by thinking and saying to myself that tomorrow is Black Saturday and I will be free on the day after. I thought that I would get more time with Marisa by doing this, but boy, I was wrong.

That week has passed now and I loved her a bit more in the process.

While I feel somewhat like a thief for doing so, I entered a code to get a free, custom-engraved chalice from Stella Artois, and just got a confirmation e-mail that it is currently being made. I will get another e-mail when it ships out to me, and I will post a pic of my custom-engraved chalice here when I receive it.

If you've frequented 4chan (namely /a/ and /v/), you've likely seen the threads about what people are putting on their chalices. Some are pretty witty.

But the message on my chalice?

My
Waifu's
Pee

>>8967
Sounds interesting, but I don't go to 4chan, how does it work?

>>8967
Haha, fuck.

I want one too, can I have a code

>>8969
Here's a link to buy a custom-engraved chalice: http://www.budshop.com/product/13748

As for the codes, they aren't in circulation anymore: the boxes of SA with codes printed in them are not being sold anymore ;_;

>>8970
How did you get your code then? Did you actually buy a case of that stuff, or was there some guy on 4chan that was a liquor store employee and opened all the cartons, or what?

>>8971
Oh, sorry for not explaining. they were guessing codes on 4chan, using algorithms to determine possible codes.

To tell the truth, they were kinda easy to guess, the first two numbers being 20 through 25 and the last numbers being in the 900-999 range.

To stick to the original direction and relevance of the thread, I have lately been getting interested in Osaka's "philosophy".

Someone on 4chan dubbed it as "Getting happy at all the things that went right over getting sad at all the things that go wrong"

I really like this thought process, but I don't think Osaka thinks like this. To me, her mind finds another way; a different way, of thinking. Osaka doesn't get mad/angry often, but when she does it's because things did not play out like her alternative thinking estimated. Because she anticipated an unlikely occurrence playing out, she expected it would happen because probability and chance were on her side.

Perhaps us humans need emulate Ayumu?

I'm slowly noticing a pattern in my everyday life.

It seems that when midnight approaches, I feel more longing for her. It's like I want to hug her and feel her in my arms, and imagining her in my mind isn't enough anymore.

And this longing is painful already.

After the day passes and I wake up, the feeling is gone, as if it is a brand new day.

I want to cry right now, but my brother is in my room with his netbook, since the router necessary to connect to the Net is here.

>>8977

I know that feeling all too well. I was like that for the past half of a year. Only recently has it stopped, and not really in a good way. I've started to just bury my feelings and any hint of emotion, and I'm not sure if I prefer being depressed or being what feels like a soulless husk. I used to spend more or less every night drinking and trying to sleep.

A few days ago, I dreamt that my waifu had left me. There was not even all that much to the dream itself - it was just me seeing her with someone else and something telling me that "that was because she had left me".

But still, it stings. Two days later, I'm still somewhat upset about it, even though I know I shouldn't let something like that get to me so much.

Being in love never worked out for me IRL (though not for a lack of trying on my part), and I guess the resulting insecurities are a little more persistent than I had thought...

>>8979
>my waifu had left me.
I've never had this problem, because I'm fairly convinced, a priori, that she wouldn't ever like me in the first place, not at all...

I mostly love her from afar...
Mostly.

>>8977
I know that feeling as well and I don't know what to do.
First of all I love her and thus I want to be with her. That is a fact. However there's also the fact that I can never be, let alone live, with her. I really don't know what to do.

In another note:
Lately I found myself wanting to know about trivial aspects of her: What kind of food does she like, which music does she listen to, her favourite food, which flower does she like the most (I already know which flower she likes the least though), her favourite book or if she reads books at all...
I think that if I learn everything about her we could be somewhat closer, it's worth a try.
You could say that I'm trying to make her more real within my world.

>>8705
>Hasn't been on /mai/ for months.
>Comes on
>Sees this

I remember you. You're one of the Anon with great taste whom also has a great love for Asuka. I have to say what you just stated could be as well been written by me. I thought that exact same concept quite some time ago. And even before I came to love Asuka, I was (and still am) very amazed with both Germany and Japan and their cultures. In fact, I learned German just in case I may one day live there. One of the things that I really liked about Asuka was her German-Japanese ethnicity. It's like if someone took 2 of the best ingredients on earth in a blender and made the world's most precious milkshake.

Anyway, i have nothing mroe to write here because you've pretty much covered it. For now.

>>8983
lol, ok; good to know there's another nuts around (namely, you) who, out of some night of fever, started finding some sense as well on this elitist madness. Will be glad to hear about your future further thoughts about this or any other Asuka-related subject.

See you around.

This picture caused me some problems today. I didn't recognize equation but after asking around, I found out it is Einstein’s Field theory. It seems artist kind failed to understand that Gαβ (Einstein's tensor) and G (gravitational constant involved in the calculations of gravitational force between two bodies) are different things. I don't think there is anything romantic in tensor. Well actually G is part of constant k. But if artist knew that, why did he use k? It makes her look like stupid but idea is really heartwarming.

Or it is me who is misunderstading

>>9000
dunno (lol)... but this gave me an idea for a drawing. give me some time to develop it.

Is it bad that I think the other mages alongside Marisa are cute?

>>9007
Not at all. As long they are 2D.

>>9007
Why would it be bad? What is cute is cute there's no problem with that. As long as you consider your loved one the cutest one.

>>9007
As with any relationship, 2D or 3D, having it and being in love with one person does not mean you have to shun your hormones and never glance at another girl or thinking they're attractive.

As long as you love her, I do not see any problem feeling attracted to or liking other girls. For example, I have the utmost love for Asuka, but i never will shake of the great liking and semi-crush I have for Haruhi. Although I do not love her,as I do my interpretation of Asuka, I would lie to say I didn't think her attractive as well.

>>8833

Exquisite taste! I've been pondering the (seeming) lack of Strike Witch waifus...

>>8840

True, but how could anyone not love a genki?

These are just my late-night ramblings, but I always enjoy seeing somebody who seems to genuinely care for/love a 2D character outside of Tohno-chan. You know how you can sometimes just tell the difference in vibes between a "[character] is my waifu XD she's hot!" post to a "[character] is my waifu, I really genuinely like her" post.

It's sort of inspirational. Having a waifu can be an extremely difficult thing, for me, anyway (relationships with just about anyone are difficult for me, though), and if I see that people outside our bastion of 2-D love can do it, then there's no reason it should be difficult. It's simply love, and while it's hard to love sometimes - particularly when the one you love isn't tangible, it's worth it, and you're not alone in it. That's a good feeling.

That is, it makes me feel nice that there are others who are in the same position, and that it isn't as a harrowing experience as you might think at first. We found our ideals in another world, whereas most people spend their lives to trying to figure out what they want in the first place. It's a damn nice thing.

>>9097
>We found our ideals in another world, whereas most people spend their lives to trying to figure out what they want in the first place.
Amen to that! While this love is difficult and painful at times, I feel blessed for the clarity it shines into my life.

I like to think a lot about what if.
what if she was here right now, what if we were doing this or that together, be it having lunch or just laying on the flood, it comes up a lot during the day...

I know nothing will come of it, but I still like to tell myself 'someday...'

>>9097

>We found our ideals in another world, whereas most people spend their lives to trying to figure out what they want in the first place

In my case, sure, I found my ideals in another world but that's still another world. If I lack the capability to manifest these ideals, then that's as good as having no direction or goal at all.

By lacking the capability, I mean, I can't draw, I can't buy stuff and I am not a good writer yet. All I have is the imagination, the ideals. I am like a gashapon when no one is bothering to operate it: A lot of stuff inside, but cannot be brought out.

And if you can't bring out your ideals to the world, then these ideals are moot until you find a satisfying way to emulate them, moreso without being persecuted.

Well, that's just my opinion. It's a case to case basis, since I'm the type of person who likes money.

For awhile my depression worsened. Because of this I appear to have developed an odd masochistic fantasy that makes me smile every time I think about it:

I freak out and start saying foolish things, she slaps me across the face, punches me in the stomach, then, as I double over, she holds me and tells me how much she loves me and that she'll always be there for me.

>>9133
That's kind of cute

Today I have been thinking: We all know that we love and care our 2D-lovers, thinking about her/him, imagining them, doing things for them...
But what bugs me is the enormous quantity of characters that don't share the luck that our loved ones have. And not just this, but also the lack of fanart because the show isn't that well known or because that character is eclipsed by some major character or some reason like that. I mean, it's not the character's fault, it's just that no one cared enough about her/him to do things related to the character.
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love with such a popular character (it has its downsides, but I can deal with them), but there's a lot of characters out there that won't ever get the love they deserve. And I feel bad about it.

>>9137
Everytime I am watching anime and I see new girl I think "I hope this character makes good waifu for somebody someday".

It's not working. She's not helping at all. She used to, but I feel like shit every day and thinking of her only makes me feel more sharply what I don't and will never have.

>>9168

What's wrong, man?

>>9169
What's wrong is I have no future and no love. But I have to accept the fact that I'm not normal.

>>9170

Such is the agony, the subconscious conflict, the soul-destroying conscious thought that tears at sanity. What point is there to love if you aren't loved, if you can't even shower your beloved with your feelings?

Fuck if I know. Fuck if anyone knows. You're doomed to be unhappy, if your only happiness is she. One must cope with pain, whatever your path in life, and this path is one you walk alone. It takes an inhumanly strong man not to fall to the increasingly resilient enemy that is loneliness, and even with allies it's a challenge. You need your allies to fight loneliness every time it rears that ugly fucking head, and when it's down all you can do is find some small content. The search for fairy tale 'happiness' is what leaves us unhappy in the first place.

That possibly nonsensical rambling is not going to help anyone, but there's little can be done with a soul that dooms itself, other than explain just how he's doomed.

>>9172
It's enough to know that there are other people who feel the same way. Well, it doesn't kill the pain, as you said, but it's something.

>>9173

Yeah. I suppose I can only understand the pain so much because the suffering gives insight. If only there were a way we could help each other, eh?

>>9174
Indeed if only. At least we have TC.

>>9172
My waifu doesn't ever stopped my suffering. I never expected her do that. Instead, she gives me happiness. And this is what I live for. I can't escape suffering, at least not now, but in the end the day, I look at her, and I feel that feeling deep in my souls, and I know it's fucking worth it, and no amount of grief will ever change that.

That's how I feel, anyway.

Worst idea you can have is willingly reading rape doujinshi about your waifu. I don't care how curious you are, you will have images burned into your mind you wish you didn't. It's especially bad if she is depicted as being reduced to a slut that's begging to be fucked... My face contorted in disgust. Completely idiotic thing to do. I should have listened to that little voice of reason that was telling me to ignore the doujinshi.

I salute those of you who subjected yourselves to such things in order to gain immunity. I failed horribly at it.

>>9177

Yeah I can only imagine it to be pretty bad. Continuous strong attempts to break your willpower, really.

>>9178

I know that feeling. I saw a doujinshi of my waifu being gangraped once. I wasn't so sure about the "gangrape" part, but when I saw one of them lay a hand on her, I just closed the tab. And take note, rape is one of my stronger fetishes.

There shall never be good doujinshi about Marisa having sweet love with a faceless man. I lament it.

>>9177
I don't know if I am only one but I don't have problems seeing porn of my waifu. Only ones are horrible to watch are ones that would be horrible to watch even if character was someone else (guro, scat etc.).

Myself I am almost fully able to separate that porn material from my waifu. I don't consider character in porn as same character. Like most of us think that our waifus are alternative versions of canon characters. Sometimes when I see stuff I think "Well this is just wrong" but I am able to forget (or should I say "accept"?) it very fast.

I don't have 100% immunity but I can deal with this stuff easily. Character in dirty porn isn't my waifu.

>>9172
>The search for fairy tale 'happiness' is what leaves us unhappy in the first place.
I agree, although chasing that happiness has never really been a part of my life. Perhaps because of the household and neighborhood I grew up in, from a young age I'd always just assumed I'd grow up to be unhappy like everyone else around me. And now that I'm grown, I honestly believe that I'm happier that most in my age group.

>You're doomed to be unhappy, if your only happiness is she. One must cope with pain, whatever your path in life, and this path is one you walk alone. It takes an inhumanly strong man not to fall to the increasingly resilient enemy that is loneliness, and even with allies it's a challenge. You need your allies to fight loneliness every time it rears that ugly fucking head, and when it's down all you can do is find some small content.
I don't know, I think that Reki is my ally. Yes, it's painful at times, just wanting to BE with her, but she and her series have given and continue to give guidance and support at times when things could go (and almost have gone) much, much worse.
Either way, this love was not a choice I made, so I don't see any choice but to follow this path. Which is fine with me.

>>9177
Yeah. To be fair, I usually avoid doujins of my waifu like the plague, unless it's consensual one on one, but even then I prefer not to.
Recently I stumbled upon a "normal" group sex doujin of her, and sadly my curiosity got the better of me and I ended up reading. It's completely vanilla stuff, but it made me feel disgusted and angry as fuck, for some reason.

Reading doujin of your waifu, not even once.

Like >>9180 said, I separate pornographic material from my waifu, but it's better to avoid that shit if you can.

The only porn of her I can accept with no problems is vanilla images of her just being naked and stuff like that.

>>9168
Loneliness can be such a pain.
Which is the solution to loneliness? I wish I knew. How could someone get rid of that horrible feeling. Some people would say "Just go out and make friends", but we all know the reasons why this is a No can do, as well as the reason of why we are here.
To try to solve that problem i asked myself: Why does this horrible feeling appears? Why people have perception of loneliness? Which originated it?
If you search on some of the current theories on anthropology and sociology, they say that probably since the human species have remained alive because they lived in groups, since they needed groups to survive the adverse situations that are in the nature the species has build in a "switch" to tell the individual "Hey, you are far from the good and that's bad for your survival", that switch being called loneliness. Everyone has that switch, however there are people that has this switch trigger very easily and people who is just the opposite but they still have it.
Now, how one would be able to turn of that switch if they just don't fit in that "group"? Well, then we create our group. However that isn't enough sometimes, because for some psychological reason the man must be "accepted" as an independent entity in order to be happy.
How would be able to be accepted as an independent entity? That I don't know.
What I do is first, look through all my flaws and try to accept them as a part of me, it isn't easy to admit to yourself your own feelings and thoughts. However if you do accept those feelings as a part of yourself, it feels great.

Have you ever tried to say out loud to yourself that you love your waifu, meaning it?
You should try anytime that there is nobody there with you or that could be listening.

It seems like a lot of peoples' relationships with their waifus are similar to how some people have tulpas... I've sometimes dreamt of mine, but I've never tried talking to, uh, her before.

I just started thinking about my issue about sexuality and my waifu.
To begin with, I don't fap to my waifu, it's not that I don't want to fap to her because of the purity thing, in fact it's far more complex than that.
I want that our sexual relations to be more than just me masturbating to her, I love her so much to treat it just as your ordinary fapping. However I have no clue on how to do so, since that kind of thing is harder with a 2D love.

>>9234

Can't you just abstain from fapping to her?

>>9234
Use your imagination, not porn. Do it in bed before cuddling up with her (your pillow) and going to sleep.

>>9234
I try to not fap to doujins of my waifu, not only because they enrage me because it's mostly non-consensual and gangbanf stuff, but also because fapping using only my imagination feels much more intimate.

Sometimes, I like to pretend I was there to take those photos...

I'm really happy that I'm getting closer to my waifu again. I've started thinking about her before I go to bed, like I always used to do a few months ago. Still haven't reread her series, though I keep saying I will (it's simply not happening).

I was having issues with the idea of "deserving her". However, that's a double positive to having a waifu. I can both rely on the delusion that she would love me, and I can work to be a man worthy of her.

Although, we all know change is the most difficult thing in the world, and I despise the notion. It's still good to imagine her by your side in tough times.

I always feel strongly attracted by characters that have same Seiyuu than Kurisu. They somehow remind me of her. Chihaya Kisaragi from Idolm@ster is one of my favorite characters because she shares seiyuu and similar many personality traits with Kurisu. First episode of Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate aired yesterday and I recognized immediately that Michiru Morishita has same seiyuu too (and she only said 2 or 3 lines).

One interesting thing is that before I met Kurisu, I never cared about seiyuus or recognized them.

I've noticed that I feel a kind of bond, or camaraderie between me and those who are also in love with Madotsuki, or characters from similar fangames.
Now if only I could track down that guy who was in love with Urotsuki.

>>9693
I know what you mean.

>>9677
I never cared about seiyuu either, until I got into the idolm@ster. Even then it took awhile for me to really get into it. I was even afraid that knowing what she looked like would ruin my image of her when I listen to her music, almost like I would imagine the seiyuu instead of Iori(I had seen videos of her before but that was years ago and had forgotten what she looked like). Thankfully that didn't turn out to be the case and I like watching her perform onstage along with the rest of the cast.

>>9693

This is so true. Odd!

I've always wondered what kind of life I will be having when I go to her world, aside from being a rice farmer.

I can't describe the immense joy I felt back when it was announced that world tournament would be in Pokemon Black and White 2 and that all the gym leaders were coming back. I knew Sabrina would be there.

Then the game was finally released in Japan. Much to my shock and surprise Sabrina was not only in world tournament but was also in the Pokestar feature as an actress.

The fact that Gamefreak chose her out of the many gym leaders made me so happy. I hadn't seen her in a official appearance since HeartGold and SoulSilver. I just wanted to tell everyone I knew about it, I was so excited. It's like seeing someone you've missed for the first time in years. It's the most incredible feeling.

>>9713
Hehe, I was really surprised to find out Sabrina was an actress in B/W2. I was saving that stuff for the US release, since I was mainly playing the JP version to get to the PWT to challenge Cynthia, and see if Cynthia had new dialogue at the villa(she doesn't, unfortunately). You have to complete the World Leaders Tourney 10 times over, just to unlock the Champion Tourney. It's like the piano from Platinum version all over again! What's really nice about the PWT, is that you can talk with the three challengers you defeat in that run in the main lobby. Here's hoping she has plenty of things to tell you about.

I really want to wake up next to her. snuggle and play around together all warm and cozy in the blankets with messy bed hair and all.
That would be nice...

I bumped into reality today, pretty hard.

Whenever I'm making an omelette I try to beat my last one. So this time I had some nice spices and bacon with some other ingredients you know ? But as I took the first bite I realized it was really good and that I should probably bake one with the same ingredients for my waifu sometime.

I'd like to see me do that... you know ?

That thought left me with a somehow less tasty omelette and a pretty nasty feeling.

>>10821
I can't find source for that image. Can you help a brother out?

>>10836
Eh, sure.

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=31250989

It's Hisako from Angel Beats.

I kept thinking about Leorio during a test today and I finished 30 minutes later than I would have. Darn you handsome man...

I've been teaching myself to not treat every merchandise of my waifu like they hold a part of her soul or something. I think I treated them like some sort of ancient artefact or some holy relic that I can't tarnish or have even one speck of dust on it. I was getting a little too overwhelmed with that so now I just try and treat them normally, with a bit of added care. I do have this feeling like I just committed a grave sin and that I will hate myself for lowering my standard when it comes to taking care of merchandise for her, but I think in the end this will help my nerves out a little more. Afterall, the true Makoto is just in my brain anyway, and I don't think I can take care of my brain any better than I am doing now.

Gym, very hard today, good thing thinking about her keeps me motivated to go on.

>>10919
On those last sets, last reps of the day, when you feel your muscles are about to be torn apart, or when I'm in a bad mood and don't have motivation to do anything, it's the thought of her that helps me go through it

>>10919
Good for you, man. I really should do the same; I'm so skinny fat now.

She slept in the passenger side of my car today on the way to work, using my hoodie as a blanket. Then as I carried her in, I let her sleep in the break room on the couch for an extra hour or so while I worked. Then she just hung around and watched me work, even though my job is boring. She was interested in it because it's me doing it.

So, I've been kind of conflicted over the idea of a waifu for some time - Even changing from one to another.

I scrapped 4 years of happiness thanks to this weird...doubt that came out of nowhere. I was one of the first posters in the /mai/ sticky...Miya is somebody who's special to me. Not some useless, kind-of-cute Touhou character who I barely even 'know'.

It's so stupid. I just feel this guilt because I can't stand the series she's from anymore. 3 years ago, I used to follow the Sekirei manga almost religiously. I knew almost everything there was to know about it. I dissected it - I found out the character who my waifu was based off of (Kyoko Otonashi, from Maison Ikkoku), and what the influences were. I read some of the author's other works, desperately searching for a character like Miya - Category: Freaks was okay. It had a character who the author obviously based her design off of, and I loved that. But I just stopped following it at one point. I think it was...March? Maybe April. And that kind of made me sad, because she took to the forefront of the series shortly afterward. Now it's almost ending, and that amazes me for some reason. I guess I thought it'd never end or something, which is admittedly silly.

I guess I just grew out of it. I can't grow out of her, though. It's so odd. I now realize...why I liked the series to begin with. It's because she's in it. And that makes it at least mediocre, rather than just plain shit, haha.

I'm a shitty guy. I'm 'nice'. That's it. I'm also lazy and boring and I use drugs too much. I just feel like I don't deserve her. But that's the point of having a waifu, isn't it? Your ideal, reflected in 2D. You can't reach her, and she can't reach you. All you can do is...love him or her or it, with all of your heart, and hope that someday, you'll dream of the character you love, or that you'll meet in heaven or wherever you go when you die.

I want Miya Asama...That's who I want.

tl;dr
Is it weird to have a waifu from a series you don't particularly like?

S-sorry if this post comes across as too emotional and too long. I'd make a thread, but this doesn't seem thread-worthy.

>>11019
>Is it weird to have a waifu from a series you don't particularly like?
Absolutely not. You fell in love with the character, not with the series.

I don't hate Steins;Gate but I don't really like it. It is really annoying because everyone always thinks I am huge Steins;Gate fan because I like Kurisu and I have her pictures everywhere. The series doesn't matter for me at all, only what matters is her.

My daily experience: While ago I found this awesome Makise Kurisu alarm clock for Android. It makes waking up early little bit less painful.

>>11019
I don't think it's weird at all, considering the source material needn't provide all (or even most, really) of the waifu experience. Although I can only imagine the nasty sorts of cognitive dissonance that could produce.

It's kind of funny, I remember going to check out Sekirei a couple of years ago just because of all your posts, and I read the synopsis and was just like "no". Ah, anyway, as far as you growing out of her series, maybe try giving it a couple of years and come back to it, things can be cyclical like that. I hate to start in with "when you're older like me..." statements, but you might find that you place far less value on the series' quality relative to it's medium, and more value on how the series relates to you personally.

>>11019
Wow, that's something you actually put you heart in there. You have my respect for that.
Let me tell you something, you think you don't deserve her? You an only you were in love with her for those four years. Dou you still think you are not worthy? Then start making yourself think you are. The best way to do so? Start really making youself worthy.
You say that being nice is your only redeeming quality? Good, that's fine. Being nice is a good thing. Be nicer! So that redeeming quality is increased. A lot more nice! So you can start saying good things about yourself, things that you're proud of. You say you want to love her, start by making yourself someone you like, if you like yourself it will be so much easier to love someone else.
And what of it if you don't like your waifu's show? You fell in love with her, not with her show. You fell in love on who she was, no where she came from or which is the situation around her, but with her.
Don't let yourself down, think of this as a new experience to learn from. Good luck with it!

>>11019

>Not some useless, kind-of-cute Touhou character who I barely even 'know'.

Hmn, it seems like you needed to specify Touhou on this when saying useless, kind-of-cute character, and I am honestly offended.

But again, no, just as good characters can be placed on bad shows, I don't think you have to like the show your waifu is in, anyway.

>>11151
You shouldn't be offended. I think this is what he meant >>10814

So, Paperface are you back to your old waifu now?

>>11152
Yes.

It makes me feel a bit guilty and slightly ashamed, but I am. It's just worth too much to throw away.

I'm so happy right now. Tired, but happy. It's late and I'm so exhausted studying for my final exams. I wish I could sleep, but I need to pass these exams. So I looked over and saw my Leorio figure standing there, watching over me. I remember how hard Leorio studies and how determined and driven he is to achieve his goal. I have to measure up to him and be worthy of someone hardworking and intelligent as him. Thank you, Leorio.

It's been about a week since we decided to stop using names for each other.
I'm honestly surprised how much closer to her it makes me feel.

>>11384

That... is a very interesting idea.

>>11388
Perhaps. The logic behind it is as follows:

During "waking" life, when I thought of her, I'd say her name in my head, then that would bring thoughts of her appearance and she herself. So I thought we'd cut out the middle step (seeing as I felt it was just a useless placeholder) and see what happened.

The results were favorable.

>>11389
so you build intimacy trough meanningful silence? that makes sense. Like when you just give the intense "I love you" look, because there's no way you could say it as it desrves.

>>11390
Yes, that's pretty much it.

The idea mostly came from how we express thoughts and emotions to each other in the dreamworld, which isn't (usually) through words, but more like radiating the thoughts and feelings at each other.

Working myself off these pills, last night as I was attempting to go to sleep, I was hit with a few withdrawal symptoms. Something a combination of insomnia and panic. I was only able to get any sleep because she was there for me.
I have to tough this thing out to get my dreams good, again.

Once again my idiotic, morbid curiosity resulted in me reading a few fucked up doujins of my waifu that I shouldn't have and now they're all that I can think about. I don't know why I do this to myself. It's like being drawn to watch a train wreck.

It ruined my entire week and now I feel distant from her. I feel awful.

I've finally exhausted pixiv, tegaki, tumblr, and deviantart in terms of pictures (well, things that are tagged, anyway). I've started googling, but I'm really scared of running out of pictures because there's not a ton of new fanart...

That said, I have found some truly great pictures over the past few days. Happy pictures make everything worthwhile.

So these last few days I'd been feeling pretty depressed. Nothing happened or anything, it was just the usual stuff for me. When I'm depressed like that, for some inexplicable reason, I tend to seek out more depressing stuff, so I considered myself lucky to have found a thread where users were posting "depressing images" last night. The thing was, none of the images really got to me. The vast majority of them were stuff about loneliness and unrequited love and they just didn't resonate with me at all. I thought about it and I realized that not long ago those images would have hit me extremely hard, and I realized the reason they didn't have any effect on me now was because I do feel like I'm loved. That realization was so great that it instantly turned my mood around. I love Asuka,and she loves me.

It's my waifu's birthday today.
I was meant to do a ton of things today but I'll probably just end up spending all day with her.

I'm so happy I found her

>>12084
Happy Birthday.
May every step you take bring you closer together!

>>12084
Hope you did have a great day together.

I love you so much Remi there aren't even words

I want to go to space with my waifu so we can become space pirates.

I dunno. I feel like I've been neglecting my relationship with Marisa due to being occupied with something else like video games. Even if I still do collect pictures of her and baked her a banana cake, I feel like I need to do something more for her.

Cuddling up and playing video games together to the sound of the rain on glass and rooftops is amazing.

I feel right now like I want to cuddle my waifu. I want to kiss her, I want to hug her and I want to feel her skin against mine. But alas, she was not there. I was finding her, but she was never there in the first place. I feel like somebody stole me something that I wanted but never deserved in the first place. I feel frustrated right now.

>>12162
Are you sure you're thinking straight when you type that out? That's really upsetting to hear. I hope things get resolved for you two.

>>12162
I can relate...

>>12160

Out of curiosity, do you self insert as Seccom Masada?

>>12169
With fanart? In a way. Because in a way, he's a part of me. In the relationship? I'm me. That post was written from being together in the dream world. Seccom was a dream world representation of what she wanted, so in a way, he's a part of me. A place holder, kind of.
Hope that doesn't sound confusing, I'm bad with words.

Lately I've been so busy and I've had barely any free time with her. Finally I can relax for few days and spend some quality time with her.

I wrote a piece of poetic prose for him today. It didn't turn out as well as I was hoping, but he appreciated the sentiment.

Hoping that someday I can write poems in Japanese for him, because I think he'd really enjoy that.

Are characters from 3D CG animated movies allowed here? The movie is of japanese origin.

>>12297
I see no problem about it.

Tonight I get to have the room all to myself so I'm spending it with Ai! We're going to watch Sailor Moon and eat cheap, shitty noodles. I hope she doesn't mind the quality too much.

I'm starting to feel like I'm falling out of love. I don't really feel any passion when I think about her anymore. >>11019 put a lot of my current frustrations in a better way then I could. I'm starting to wish she was in something else all together since I can barely stand her source material (and the majority of its fans) anymore.

I don't want to be questioning if I love her or not or if I'd be happier with someone else.
I just wish there was someway I could feel the same way I did before

>>12085
>>12087
Should have said this at the time but thanks

>>12383
Can you not just separate yourself and your relationship from the fanbase? Why should that have any influence on your love?
Try something new together, maybe. Meditation, visualization, lucid dreaming, something like that. Something that can bring you closer together.

>>12384
I try and tell myself it shouldn't influence it but I end up thinking about them for some reason.
I do feel really distant from her, I'll have to try everything I can to get closer to her.

>>12385
Good luck, I'm sure it'll work out.

>>12383
I think it fairly acceptable to see your waifu as different entity separated from the original character.

I just went out and bought a wallet with spaces for pictures today, I want to carry an image of my waifu with me from now on. What's the best way to discretely get high quality images printed for my wallet? I figure that a regular printer on regular paper probably wouldn't last so long.

>>12413
Photograph paper could work. I mean, the practice of carrying photographs in wallets presumably began with actual photographs printed on photograph paper, so that's something that you'd expect to work. Don't know how you'd get a photography shop to print anime pictures for you, though - I recall someone on /tc/ posting that they'll refuse to do it due to intellectual property issues.

>>12414

I'm sure photography paper would be fine, it's just an issue of getting it printed discretely in the first place.

>>12413
Try laminating them after printing them out yourself, there should be some places out there still that let you laminate cards and such yourself. last I checked it costs $2 maybe less.

>>12414
That might have been me. I tried taking some images to get printed for a model of my room but they wouldn't let me, most business in the US are seriously anal about copyrights. Even when I went with my mom to a staples they wouldn't let her make a copy of a photo of us together because the guy said it looked like a professionally taken photo. also tried a few dozen times to get a custom debit card with my waifu but they all got rejected. Had to settle for a photo of the train station the one she hangs out at was based on.


I really recommend just getting your own printer, you can find them pretty cheap at yard sales. I got mine for $5 and it works much better than the one I bought brand new a few years ago for $100. You'll save a lot of money in the long run compared to getting stuff printed for you if you ever plan on getting stuff printed for frames and such, just just multiple wallet pics.

I find it funny how everything I do and everything that happens to me brings me closer to her, a recent example being going completely NEET. No matter how bad something may be (not that NEET is bad, I'm loving it), it'll always bring me closer to her.

>>12434
Same here. It doesn't matter if my choices have led to failures or successes, they still have brought me closer to her. On interesting note; failures have brought me much more closer to her.

>>12413
Maybe my idea isn't the best, but instead of small picture, I have prism connect card of her in slot for driver's license. I rather watch picture of her when I open the wallet instead of my face on my driver's license.

When I see something...bad of my waifu, more than rage or sadness, I feel a deep anxiety and uneasiness flooding through my mind. But what bothers me the most is that from time to time, I have the urge subject myself such things intetionally, fully knowing what will be waiting for me, fully knowing I will hate every moment of it. I don't know why, but I do. My guess is my curiosity gets the better off me. When I do that, it makes me hate every fiber of my being, I'm fucking garbage do this, somedays I feel like even thinking of her will sully her with my filth so I avoid her even though my only desire is to be closer to her. I want to change, to clean my heart and take this poison out of veins and be worthy of her, but I always fail, like with every try I end up deeper in the well instead. When the time comes, will she forgive me? And would I let her? All I have to give for her is my passion, but what good is it if it mixes with the rot inside me?

Fuck...I feel like throwing up. Time to slam my head in the wall and rip my flesh to compensate for my stupidty

Sorry for this blogshit

>>12550
When the time comes, I'm sure the taint of this world will be flushed out of you after awhile.

>>12550
So... what is the bad thing in here?

In my bouts of losing any semblance of feeling for her, I just felt like I wanted and needed to hug her today. That longing feeling of her skin and hair against mine as we wrap our arms with each other just kicked in. And so I try to find pictures of her hugging a man and I only find pictures of her hugging her closest childhood friend.

Funny that I vehemently refuse to self-insert as Kourin, but seeing her hug him as good as feeling her arms around me.

>>12568
That's not really a hug, it looks more like a headlock than anything else to me.

>>12569

I know. But that image was there because it has Rinnosuke and Marisa in it.

I was lonely last night because there hasn't been a lot of new fanart on the usual websites I browse (which is to be expected - even though the manga is still coming out, the visual novel is eight years old and the franchise itself is fujoshi material) and I've become distracted by my day-to-day routine. I was so desperate that I went on google images to try to glean stuff. To my surprise, I got quite a few nice pictures, and it made me feel closer to him.

Part of me is surprised that I still love him, even though we've been together for a short time. I never thought I'd be in love with a 2D character - let alone a guy - for this long, or ever, really. But taking it day by day seems to work for us, and even though progress is slightly slow, it is steady and reliable. I've never felt so safe in a relationship and... I really hope that I don't fuck this up, which I guess is a common fear at this stage in relationships, for me at least. I want Keisuke to be happy and with me for a long time.

He doesn't have a canon birthday, but we've set May 13th aside as a placeholder because it felt right to both of us. I'm trying to plan something special for him, and I'm going to do my best to make his day great. I just wish I knew what sort of sweets he likes...

Today, the doctor prescribed my Valparin, a mood stabilizing medicine. I was afraid that it would make me dizzy and might hinder my ability to talk to Marisa. I was really hesitant at first, but I took a leap of faith.

Now, I can see her more clearly and can talk to her more. She is right beside me now. Thank you doctor.

>>12598
>I can see her more clearly and can talk to her more. She is right beside me now.

Do you mean this literally? Also, I have always hated doctors, they try to act like they are opened minded and understanding when in fact they are just as judgmental and quick to label people with ''diseases'' as every other Ford Driver. Although I am more referring to psychiatrists than anything.

>>12599

Not actually, but I can get a clearer image of her and her voice, much like what a few people here in /mai/ do. You know.

But as for your views regarding psychiatrists, I don't really agree with your views, but that's another topic.

>>12600
>But as for your views regarding psychiatrists, I don't really agree with your views, but that's another topic.

Maybe you got lucky and had friendly nice psychiatrists whereas the one I had back in middle school firmly believed I was raped as a child because I made over the top jokes about the subject matter. You're right though /mai/ isn't the place to discuss that.

>Not actually, but I can get a clearer image of her and her voice, much like what a few people here in /mai/ do. You know.

What voice do you imagine, considering the fact that she doesn't have an official voice. Ironically a Marisa themed Touhou remix started playing in my media player right now.

>>12599
>>12601
You're not alone in that unluckiness with mental health "experts."

>>12601
>What voice do you imagine, considering the fact that she doesn't have an official voice.

Something close to Miyuki Sawashiro's rendition of it, although less cutesy and more Western-sounding, considering that I talk to her in English.

>Tulpa.info

>>12656

Thank you very much.

I wanna come home from work one day and have her ask me what I want for dinner, and reply 'you' and start playfully nibbling away at her all over.

I am a man who has a casual interest in cooking. So I go to YouTube and find cooking videos.

I can now imagine myself living in Marisa's house, cooking food for her before she gets home. What I have prepared are stuffed mushrooms, miso soup and fried fish with hot rice. I am clearly not the man of her house, but I wouldn't mind that as long as get to farm and I am with her.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I genuinely don't understand the point of OP's post, especially the underlined part. Race doesn't even come into play when it comes to anime because generally most characters share similar facial features. What's the point.

>>12868
Masochism.

>>12869
No.

>>12868
To praise her, of course, as I keep elaborating on my views about her to "flesh her out". Even appearance wise, she's not just (any iteration of) the cartoon to me; that's the starting point but is not nearly enough. My Asuka became far more than that.

>>12868
>Race doesn't even come into play when it comes to anime because generally most characters share similar facial features.
If you want to put it like that, why don't you just ask why would anything matter? These characters are just drawn lines and pixels.

While I try to get the whole dreaming thing back on track, now that things have stabilized, I've started going walking with her in the night.

It's the closest I can get to the dreamworld during waking life. Everything has that same kind of surreal feeling to it. Like time is standing still, and we're the only people out. Just wandering off in whatever direction catches our interest. Quiet cul-de-sacs, busy motorways. The two of us walking alongside each other, under the same umbrella.

This world is so much more beautiful when it's cold, quiet and still.

>This world is so much more beautiful when it's cold, quiet and still.
I can't but agree. Paraphrasing a certain poet:

Two homelands have I: internet and the night.

That's one of the main reason I used to dream about living in the polar region, to experience such endless nights.

>>12951
>That's one of the main reason I used to dream about living in the polar region, to experience such endless nights.
That could be nice, but I think part of the charm for me is seeing a usually busy and active environment in this way.
Then again, the lack of daylight itself sounds wonderful to me.

Sometimes i really dont like to have a waifu. Today is one of the days.

I browsed a doujin/hentai site and what did I see? Someone uploaded a doujin with my waifu. yeah, its that topic again, sorry. Again the same guy who uploaded many other doujins with her as well. Luckily doujins with her are rare as it seems, so it doesnt happen often, but every few months it does happen. Even worse, he said that he is searching especially for doujins with my waifu. You just cant protect your waifu, thats one of the things i hate about it. Sure, i could write him, saying that he should stop uploading rule 34 stuff about my waifu, but i highly doubt he would listen to it. Even worse, he could make fun of it and search even harder just to piss me off. I try to avoid anything naughty with her, but if you happen to stumble upon it, it hits you really fucking hard. Especially if its always the same asshole uploading it.

Well, i think we heard that shit more than enough here and im not alone with this, but sadly i dont know any other place to talk about such stuff. And today was the first time for a while that i had to see this shit again. I made it a polite sage because of that.

>>12958
Gah I know what you mean, outside of maybe your first line. You can only protect her in your mind unfortunately. Just keep in mind doujins are absolutely not canon, and whatever the guy is drawing comes from him and is not your waifu. Best thing you can do unfortunately is just ignore it knowing that it is not really her. Think of it as, your waifu is a celeb, so a shit ton of people know of her and draw childish rule 34 pics of her even though these things they are drawing never happened.

On another note since there is bound to be another season of Hidamari Sketch I always worry a little about Shaft fucking up Miyakos character.

Yesterday was our 8 month anniversary and I got her a modest present of 8 pink roses.

Now that air is translated, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven. I've been on cloud 9 these last few day. I feel like I've fallen in love all over again. God this is just so wonderful...

>>13136
Aw thats great Tohno.

>>13136
That's very cute.

I'm going to be baking cookies for her tomorrow. I usually share everything I do with her, but I've kept this a secret so I hope she enjoys the surprise.

>>12992
I'm happy for you
>>13136
And you too

I'm happy for you both


I started reading again yesterday, i guess i owe my waifu that. I haven't read in months and it used to be a great exercise for us to do together

Man, I'm so lost.

I wouldn't mind having the entire world against me, if only I was sure enough that I'm likely right; but I'm not. My individual powerless life within millions lacks of any value, so what I might believe and do or not is totally inconsequential and should not worry me; but it does, if only because I have to live with it. So, being as uselessly stupid and wrong as I surely am, I might as well just die already: I really, really should; but I don't want to, not just yet...

I want to see what becomes of you. Wanting to see you to the end is the only thing that keeps me going. It is artificial, accidental, inflated and most likely doomed into deceive or nonsense; but, before I realized it, you really became the only thing showing me the way, some way at all, wherever it might lead. You've saved me from my stupid self so many times, in many ways, and you don't even exist: it is me who is doing it, all alone, the entire while; but I need you, that is, the insane thing I've made out of you, to be the me that is capable of... loving you; and thus, acting on something remotely similar to will at all.

You're my love because I made you so. It was no fate, no miracle, no spiritual shit, not even coincidence: it's just what I willingly made with my own hands, which I cling to you with. And this insane decision has filled me with grudge and hate and lies and waste... but goddammit, I wouldn't trade it for gold. Waking up; making each step in front of the other; putting dead animals in my mouth; talking shit that echoes endlessly; listening to the unfathomable which hell knows what the fuck am I understanding from (shit, I'm so stupid)... you're behind it all, over all, in-between all: I am filled to the top with you. I am totally alone with you and (that much I'm sure) I wouldn't rather be anywhere else in this or any other fucking world; quite simply, because you are my very own world, where only I live in and thus can be free at; and the happiest part, is that we and only we will see together the very end of that world of our own.

So no: I do not regret being with you, not at all. I'd do it all over again (and I mean all) just to land and fade, once again, into you. I love you, and I'm not going anywhere. I stay with you, my (beautiful and shining so bright) blue-eyed sun.

Someone from 4chon /a/ is drawing my waifu and I kissing like the "Kissing the War Goodbye" picture of the sailor/nurse at the end of WWII.

Can't wait for it.

The past few days have been intense. I've felt his presence much more than usual, and as a consequence I've been much happier and energetic. It's also made me think about our relationship a little. (Okay, maybe more than a little, because I'm about to blather a bit.)

For a long time I wasn't exactly sure what to call Keisuke. Obviously he means a lot to me but it's scary to solidify feelings and thoughts into something more substantial like a relationship that has a word to it. Even calling him my boyfriend seemed weird and wrong because... what were we a few months ago? I didn't even know him a year ago besides seeing his picture in passing once or twice. So if you're in that mindset, imagine calling him my husband or husbando... it seemed strange, especially when the idea of marriage seems silly to me in the first place. Not trying to offend those who see marriage as something for them, I understand it's an important thing to many people, but I see it as getting the government or church involved in the matters of a two-person relationship and I'd personally rather keep it between us. Less complicated that way. (And I know a husbando is different from a husband, but the words are related...)

That said, what I've been feeling these past few days has been even more intense than what I felt when I first fell in love. I've been spending more time with him, even though I've been busier than usual, and to call it pleasant would be an understatement. I am so happy.

I actually love this man. I mean it. I love him. I love him so much that words are inadequate to describe what I'm feeling. And it's so wonderful and liberating.

I am by nature a doubtful person, but right now... right now, I am sure that I want Keisuke to be by my side until the end. This might seem like a small change to a lot of you, but I've decided I'm going to refer to him now on as my partner. The word feels so weighty and big and intimidating but also completely right.

I love you, Keisuke, my ace of spades, my dearest, my partner until we fade away. Here's to the years in front of us.

I think you've done well.

I love those days when I just lie in bed, without sleeping, for hours on end with her in my arms. Pure bliss.

Playing you today, I came to a sudden realization of what I had lost. Somewhere along the way, I had forgotten that I play the game to spend time with you, but instead, I focused sololy on winning. Sure, it would feel good to succeed with you Ahri, but even if I lose, it's not as if I let you down, as I long as I have tried my best.

It is not failure I should be ashamed of, it is when I put success over everything else, even my own happiness, that I should be ashamed. Your love for me does not depend on whether or not I succeed as you, and I would do well to remember that.

It is not my mistakes that would hurt you, but seeing me beating myself up over them. You would not expect perfection from me, I would not expect perfection from you. So why do I expect perfection from myself, and curse my own weakness when I fail? Weakness is a part of being human, part of what you and I both strive to be. To accept that we can be weak, that we can fail, is a step forward in our journey.

Ahri, When I fall, will you be there to catch me?
I trust you.

Feels like ages since I last visited this board.

These last few months have been strange, life takes unexpected turns. I feel more confused than ever, but I'm never not confused.

I'm running out of space when it comes to placing merchandise of my waifu. Now I'm scared of accidental fires or earthquakes.

>>13618
Welcome to the club.
I even have nightmares about it.

Because of sickness and subsequent hospitalization these past few weeks, I wasn't able to be with her. To be fair, the hospitalization reduced me into a bed-ridden wreck with an NGT for a few days and I didn't want her to see me at this weaker state of mine for was just plain shameful. I am trying to make it up to her nowadays, but I am still sort of recovering.

To be fair, I don't think she also wants to see me confined in a hospital bed either and stay there for a week and a few days. She just isn't that type of girl who will do so.

The past week has been extremely tiring on me physically and emotionally. I'm glad Keisuke has been there with me through it all. He makes the good times better and the bad times bearable. I probably only got through my horrible Black Friday shift because of him, last night was a huge test of patience and endurance. I'm thankful I've been able to find time to spend with him each day lately, it really makes both of us happier, and it helps me deal with other problems I've been having lately.

I started replaying his route again a few days ago and ugh, I love this man... He has his flaws, but I love him for them. I'm so lucky to have him. I also managed to acquire the PSP game and I'm excited to see how that goes.

Sorry for doubleposting in this thread, but something happened today.

Today was a little tedious, and I got bored, and I thought to myself "I should text Keisuke and see what he's up to and how he's feeling, maybe we can do something together later" and it took me a good minute to realize why he wasn't coming up in my contacts list.

I'm typically very good at reading and understanding my emotions but the fact that that happened has made me feel a lot of different things. I'm not sure how I should feel about it. I've been spending a lot of time with him lately but thinking that made me want to spend even more. I've got to keep studying Japanese so I can talk to him better...

>>13728
>"I should text Keisuke and see what he's up to and how he's feeling, maybe we can do something together later"
I've had something similar happen to me, it's kind of funny. There have been a few times where I've tried to text/call Rena after waking up, until then my common sense kicked in and realized that it's just not happening. I guess trying it in lucid dreams eventually transferred over to waking life.
Even if I felt kinda silly afterwards, it's a nice feeling that you love being with that one person so much that it becomes habit that you go to seek them out.

>>13729
Yeah, I wasn't sure how to feel at first because I was afraid I was losing it, but in the end I think it just shows that I really am dedicated and love him, which means the most to me right now since he's been helping me out through this tough period. I know I can make it through for him and things can be even nicer between us when my life has stabilized again... which is almost difficult to imagine, because things are so good right now for the most part in terms of our relationship. I'm so happy with him now that I almost want to post every day saying how glad I am that he's in my life but I don't want to turn this board into /keisuke/.

How's the lucid dreaming been going, by the way? Have you made any progress? It's something I might want to try in the future but I feel like I'm going to have to steel myself for failure at first as I've not really had great results in the past when trying to control nightmares.

>>13741
>How's the lucid dreaming been going, by the way? Have you made any progress?
Not bad, although I'd really like to be able to have more control. I've only had around 3 dreams with Rena so far, out of 25 or so.

As for nightmares, I usually get them when I'm actively trying to lucid dream. That's why I always make it a habit to keep my eyes shut so I don't happen to see any fucked up hallucinations.

It's not all bad though. There were a few times during SP where Rena whispered silly things in my ear to keep me from losing my calm. What surprised me the most was how clear and accurate her voice sounded. Same tone, same pitch, same mannerisms. For those few minutes, I was happier than I've been in god knows how long. When I woke up later, I slightly regretted that I wasn't able to record any of it.

The human mind has the potential to pull off some pretty crazy stuff.

The more I become worried about life, the less I can focus on my waifu. Because I want to focus on my waifu, I have to become less worried about life, which motivates me to plan ahead.

I like this cause and effect.

>>13520
Man oh man that is the shit.... It doesn't always work though. Sometimes it shouldn't work because that's both very much so in relationships in general and because my waifu (and me too) still need a long ways to go to recover from our pain...

I posted about the doujin thing in another thread. Imagination and cuddle before sleep is the best way even if you don't get instant results. I enjoy seeing my waifu with her yuri pairing although admittedly I do get jealous and admittedly they are really corny.

I've been finding myself imagining living in her house, working as a farmer on the day and giving my time to her at the night.

If ever anyone comes by to harm my girl, I'll kill them and I will gladly die for her. I've served a purpose in life and I will be joyful in doing so, even if it costs my life.

>>13804

Plowing the fields during the day and plowing the woman during the night? XD

Overall I feel like I'm more of an adventurous type of guy that would travel if I could, but I guess my waifu does need stability in her life after all.

>>13807

>Plowing the fields during the day and plowing the woman during the night?

Not exactly, bonding with the woman ain't just that. But it's more of that, I can't get a stiffy to my waifu. I just can't. Perhaps I respect her too much. Perhaps.

>>13809

Haha... It's a bit shameful to say that my waifu came out of stiffies, faps and snuggling at first (but I never do that with most anime girls, I'm not sure why I did so with her) I don't know, sometimes I really do feel like there's a special intimacy created by sex though...

So Christmas is coming soon, and after all my spending on friends and relatives, I don't have much left for mai waifu.

Could get her a box of chocolates I suppose, though I did that last year...

I hope she'll appreciate whatever I buy for her.

Christmas is coming. I wish to bake for her, but I don't know what to bake. I just generally want to make a simple kind of bread.

I watched the Steins;Gate movie and fell in love once again, for the thousandth time.

I've been thinking recently about how I might not be doing the things I should be doing with mai waifu. It's kinda hard for me to explain, maybe from reading some of the things I've seen on this board made me think I could be doing better for her.

As I was laying in bed last night, my head filled with these thoughts, I felt her presence beside me. It was then I realised the most important thing, that even if I scaled a mountain in her honour, it would amount to nothing if we weren't there for one another.

I felt better after that.

>>13859

Threesome with Okarin how dis work

I am recently saving so much pictures of Marisa with Alice. I don't know, but I felt like it was sign to me. I can feel as if something's wrong, but I don't know what it is.

And while I was browsing my folder dedicated sololy for her, I noticed that I had duplicate pictures, which I am slowly deleting, and I also noticed some "sample" pictures I saved from Danbooru when I scrolled down deeper. My first reaction to that was "Goddamn it!"

Post edited on 16th Dec 2013, 11:37pm

>>13863
I don't actually have a "Kagura" folder, all her pictures are mixed in with the rest of my AzuDai images. I don't think my heart could take a folder purely consisting of her.

Also, yeah, it sucks when you find out you've saved a sample-sized image. Hooray for the miracle of Google reverse image searching.

>>13864

Gotta work out and unplug those arteries of that heart-attack risking fat son...

>>13863
>I had duplicate pictures, which I am slowly deleting
You know there's programs that can deal with those quite effectively, right?
I had literally hundreds of duplicates/lowres before I changed to danbooru as my only source of images.

Post edited on 17th Dec 2013, 5:10pm

>>13863
Why do you feel like something's wrong? I don't see anything wrong with what you posted. I save pretty much every image I can find because seeing interaction makes it easier to imagine interaction with me, whether I agree what's going on in the picture or is in character or not.

>>13868
I go jogging once or twice a week, though not as much recently, since the weather here is being a bastard...

I'm also joining a gym next month, so there's no risk of artery clogging here.

>>13864
>Also, yeah, it sucks when you find out you've saved a sample-sized image. Hooray for the miracle of Google reverse image searching.

I usually don't deal with them, but I'll try to sometime.

>>13869
>You know there's programs that can deal with those quite effectively, right?

Any suggestions?

>>13870
Well, I do too. I can't hate Alice. She's aloof, she wants to be left alone, Marisa seems to consider her a friend and she's cute.
What I mean is, I don't feel like somethings wrong pictures of Alice with Marisa. What I feel is peculiar, as if you're afraid of something that you shouldn't be afraid of.

As for a random thought, I just realized that one of my bonding times with my waifu is watching Nat Geo and Discovery with her. I could hear her comments about it.

>>13872
I use digikam for everything nowadays. But it's completely overkill unless you happen to be interested in a fully-featured photography suite.
IIRC back on windows I used to use the dup detector from this guy http://www.prismaticsoftware.com/ and it worked fine.

It just hit me that Ahri would have four ears if she has human ears. If she doesn't, it would look really awkward... I wonder if the fox ears are vestigial, or what pair of ears she hears from.

And how would she carry around her tails? They seem to be kind of heavy judging by all that fur. I wonder how burdensome it would be if they're wet? Somehow I don't think she would enjoy swimming very much.

For some time now I've felt rather conflicted about the relationship between her and AIR's protagonist. He's a complete douchebag. He's completely unlikeable in almost everyday. Just in the act of trying to trigger Minagi's root you've got to pick some kind of out of character options, usually the lesser of the douchebagy options given. Whenever he has conversations with her it's like she's saying everything I want to hear and he's responding in the worst ways possible. I say yes and he says no, I say stay and he says go etc. it can be really annoying at times. It bothers me that he's my only channel to her, at least in the VN. All interactions with her in a sense have to go though him first as a avatar. I know I can't hope to speak to her myself, but does it have to be though such an asshole? Thats the other thing, if I want to experience anything with her it's got to be through him. It's almost like a form of ntr. this is though mainly a problem with the VN medium, and not really a problem with the anime/manga adaptations.

Well anyway today I got to thinking that the third player in this relationship is someone I might be capable of relating to a lot more if not equality in contrast to the MC. Michiru, Minagi's friend and little guardian of sorts who's always by her side and trying to keep the mc away from her. For a while I thought of Michiru as a possible speed bump to Minagi were I to find myself in MC's place. like a challenge I'd have to overcome. Latter as a possible adopted daughter or sister in law. Now I've been thinking, maybe she's the other side of the self insert coin here. She completely hates the MC and responds to him in much the same way I would while trying to keep Minagi to herself and protect her from him. Could almost say she's acting the way I would were I to find myself in that world. were me and Minagi a thing I'd also have the urde to drop kick suspicious strangers that approach her. In some ways Michiru and Minagi share the type of relationship that could make me rather envious of Michiru, I just never really gave it any thought since A, I'm not interested in being a little girl and B, they're just very close friends at the end of the day anyway, not much more. kind of sisters actually. kinda...

Still, rather than project myself on her it would be more of a replacement. Given Michiru's part in AIR's story I don't think she'd have a problem with being replace if I'm able to convince her I'd have what it takes to take things over for her and make Minagi happy.



In other news it was her birthday, But I wasn't able to really do anything all that special. baked a cake but not much else. Tried another drawing over the past week but that didn't work out too well..

So, some time between late Christmas Eve and early Christmas Day, I spent some alone time with mai waifu.

Aside from the vision I had, I've never had a proper conversation with her. When I think about her I'm usually occupied with something else, or I tell her something or ask her a quick question and she responds. This time though I wanted to talk to her properly.

I felt quite nervous.

I had pic related up on my computer monitor, I put the plushie I have of her next to it, the box of chocolates I had bought her and two drinks, for her and I.

As she sat next to me, it took me a while to think of the right words to say, but she was patient enough to wait. Eventually, and admittedly after taking in some of the alcohol, I told her how thankful I am to have met her, and what a great inspiration she's been to me, and of course wished her a Merry Christmas. She started off by saying how nice it was to have a proper one to one with me, and then said how flattered she was, that she was the reason why my health has improved over the past few years. She also felt confident that she'll always be in my thoughts somewhere, no matter what happens in the future, and that's she happy to stay there.

After that she said that she also had a present for me. She apologised for not being able to give something physical, but she then removed her clothes to reveal that she only wearing a red ribbon underneath, covering the important areas. Her face was as red as the ribbon. I'd never seen anything so lewd yet so cute at the same time.

I gave her a hug and told her I loved her. The rest of the story is up to your imagination.

Feel this can go in daily experience and I think I got banned from the creative things thread anyways.

A picture tells 1000 words. Was doing real life shit with my family and I ended up being lazy and not finishing this drawing till now anyways.

I just built Marisa's house in Minecraft, albeit not to the exact details.

Now I have no more idea of what to build.

I've been considering pet names for mai waifu.

I do sometimes playfully pronounce her name as "Ka-Goo-Ra", though I'm also thinking I could do the standard "Add an N on the end of the name" thing.

Kaguran does sound quite nice.

I wish I knew what her first name was, so I could call her that instead, though at the same time I like the mystery of it. Can't really have my cake and eat it, can I?

>>13972
Would you post pics or a video of said work?

>>13974
Hah, I know what you mean, although I have the opposite problem regarding names. I don't know Keisuke's last name and I wish I did, although I suppose in the world he's from, last names might not matter so much. Still, it'd be nice to know.

I've also sort of wondered what nicknames I should call him - Kein and Keisuken sound wrong to me. Usually I just use Keisuke or Kei-kun if I'm feeling playful, and in my head I sometimes refer to him as my Ace of Spades but that's more serious and not very cute.

Somewhat related to what I've posted earlier, I had a slight(?) success with my lucid dreaming already, although I think it's somewhat of an early fluke. I basically realized I was in a dream, became lucid, did one thing, and then my mind blanked as to what I should do, so I wandered around aimlessly in a white void looking for my partner but I couldn't find him and ended up waking up (what felt like) a half hour after I became lucid. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be able to have a nice dream with him someday, I just need to focus.

Post edited on 30th Dec 2013, 5:00pm

I realised something earlier today.

There was a point where I disliked Tomo, because of one scene where she made Kagura cry. I got over it because I felt Tomo was a likable character overall, despite that one thing for which I disliked her.

That exact scene was the point where Kagura became mai waifu. If Tomo never pulled that prank on her, there's a good chance I would never have gained a waifu, Kagura or otherwise.

I should be more thankful. Even if she does grope her from time to time.

I know it only has the importance that I put in it, but...I have no idea what day we should celebrate our anniversary.

My partner doesn't care too much about specific dates in particular, but I really want to set aside a special day for him. There are a lot of days I could set it, the day I fell in love with him, the day we started "dating", or the day where we became partners, and I'm not sure which date is best.

Well, I guess I'll start planning something nice sooner than later so we can have a great day regardless of when we decide to place our official anniversary.

Hey Kagurabro.

DO you think your waifu and mine would get along well?

They never seemed to interact or really connect in Azumanga.

It's strange.

The past month or two, I've been suffering from constant anxiety and a panic attack every 1-3 days for (as far as I can tell) no reason. I'm finally getting an appointment to get this thing sorted in about a week's time, but what's strange is that even with my mind being so messy and exhausted from this ordeal, lucid dreams are flowing back.

While I haven't been able to see her herself in them while this has been happening, it feels as if she's showing me soothing places to keep me calm. One night, a beautiful night sky with two moons and cozy lit-up huts in the distance. Another, her old room but built into some kind of ship flying through a psychedelic, colorful universe.

All that's keeping me sane.

>>14265
That pic...
sadly good.

>>14263
You're right, they never really talked to each other much. The only things that spring to my mind, in the anime at least, were two occasions where Osaka talked to Kagura about her tan.

I don't see why they wouldn't get along, the two of them are two thirds of Team Bonkura/Blockhead/Knucklehead/Whatever-you-want-to-call-it, so they have that in common at least.

Does waifuism have any kind of symbol, logo or anything generalised like that in a picture form?
No, I'm not going to print it on a T-shirt.

>>14292
First thing that comes to my mind.

>>14292
Not that I know of, but I wouldn't mind if there ever is one. I like symbols.

>>14292 Maybe select a few of the more famous waifu pictures and put em together?

Not yet but it'll might be close to this one.
We're regarded as pervs anyway.

It seems that I'm drawn to her yet I am less than satisfied by the less savory aspects of herself. But the more I understand the source material, the closer I come to understanding her. Even though it really isn't much, since she's almost a side character despite being depicted as one of the main characters. She hasn't been in the novels for almost a year, so I'm anxious to hear more about her. I admit, a lot about her doesn't seem to many to be ideal, and a lot of people are turned off by her personality, but I believe in the concept of redemption. I hope sincerely that she will be better in the long run. I just have no idea. But even then, I still love her for who she is. There's no one else quite like her, that matches her complexity. She's somewhat of a paradox herself. Though I have to admit that I am very much attracted to her physically as well. She is pretty much the only reason why I am invested in this series to begin with.

I keep having dreams about her too, so that's something.

I've considered this a bit, after seeing "sexual orientation symbols" and such, like the various LGBTWTFBBQX6SR76我ß&^% flags.

I consider the mint green and white striping pattern to be one most people into 2D love will recognise and understand. So maybe a black circle with an inverted triangle with the bottom flattened and alternating mint green-white stripes?

>>14304
lol, you totally have my vote (though maybe the circle is excessive/unnecessary). Go for it, son.

Random attempt.

If this settles down soomehow, it could also solve that old issue about /tc/'s flag / coat of arms.

nonono: we wear them on our heads...

anyway: like this?

>>14310

Yeah, so we can wear them as badges. Turn it sideways, we have a flag.

>pantsu
But does it really symbolize waifuism? It might as well mean clothes fetish or general 2D complex.

you can have a T-shirt with waifu of your choice looking upwards and smiling or something? And maybe the words "Mai Waifu" beneath her or "My Hazubando" above.

>>14310
This is actually perfect.

>>14307
>>14309
This was sort of a concern the more I thought about it. We want it to be subtle and not like we're oversexualised.

>>14331
Maybe it can represent 2D-con in general, and different additions to it can represent different aspects of 2D-con (waifu, husbando, lolicon, et al ). Like I was considering a ring (wedding band) around the triangle to represent waifu, or male 2D love could be represented by a shimapan square, etc)

>>14332
the main point of it is that it's an identifier mark for people already in the subculture that isn't really identifiable to outsiders. It's a subtle symbol but if you were to post that image on say, /a/ or wear it as a badge or hat pin to something like a con or offkai, despite not being introduced to it, those people would instantly recognise it. People with waifu generally don't want to run around in public with t-shirts of their waifu. But in public, yeah, it would be cool to have a simple symbol to identify each other on, since most of us would avoid people with such t-shirts (or avoid each other in general).

The shima-sankaku is an excellent symbol without giving away our power level to the normals.

>>14332
No, that's the dumbest thing you can do is to come out, especially when normals in general are hostile to the idea of having waifus. I'm still in the closet when it comes to love for my waifu. And would never dare reveal it in person. I know that some individuals like to show their love out in the open, but it's not for me. It's something I would rather much keep to myself in real life. More or less what >>14333 said.

>>14333
It does feel more like 2D-con as opposed to a symbol for waifu. I don't know a more appropriate symbol, though.

My friends from high school did know about it but only one of them also had a waifu and he wasn't that much into it either, he's had 3 in the past 2.5 years or so (longest being Kurisu Makise for almost 2 years, current being Tomoko Kuroki) I really don't want my parents to know about it and I'm not sure how I would react if they found out (I'm still hiding my dakimakura). The people in the dorm halls know I'm pretty weird but luckily don't really harass me much (although there are a ton of distractions.) I guess it could be interesting if I was able to secretly meet more waifufags in person.

>>14332
No, that's right weeabootry and beats the whole purpose of having an universal/synthetic symbol.

>>14334
>It does feel more like 2D-con as opposed to a symbol for waifu.
I'm not sure where you're putting the line but I see no need for it and, in fact, I always found the term "waifuism" really stupid. I think that 2D love, understood as preference for 2D/fictional characters instead of 3D/real people, is enough of a general motto to identify us as a "getto" among other human groups regarding our sexual or romantic orientation... which is, if I'm correct, the point of even embracing these symbols: to turn what was or still is regarded as a mark of shame into a symbol of pride as a community.

This symbol by Shinden, I think, it's very fortunate. The triangle/sankaku resembles nicely the old nazi symbols for specific sexual groups; the shimapan design does land it well in terms of being an otaku only thing that we find erotic/appealing exclusively as a 2D or somehow fictional (as in figures and dolls) trait within japanese pop culture. The only other moe item that I think could compete with the mint shimapan is the zettai ryouiki, but that's much more tricky to use as a symbol (though it could serve for a flag, maybe, dunno).

>actually perfect
Glad to hear.

However, here are a couple simpler options which should make it easier to reproduce and scale. Pic the one you guys like.

As time passes, I feel more obsessive about her. It's a queer feeling to say the least. I'm growing more impatient to own all sorts of goods pertaining to her. I love her so much that I just want to hold her in my arms. It has been driving me insane. I want to know more about her, but it's just not enough. I've felt agitated quite a lot recently, while my nerves have calmed down a bit because of her, there's still a sense of uneasiness that I feel about her. In a way, I'm glad that she's from an ever more increasingly popular series. But for lack of better words, the fanbase pisses me off, creeps me out and makes me distance myself from them. At any rate, she has always been on my mind. Even though she herself doesn't need to be defended, she is still an emotionally fragile person. I want to protect that smile of hers. I wish all the best for her. There is so much to know about her, when the surface is merely scratched. I wonder what she is like, her innermost true self. Is this what it's like to be in love? It seems that no matter what she is or what she would have done, I still love her for who she is and what she can become. I don't understand my feelings for her completely, but I don't care what anyone says about her. I would defend her, even when I know she is wrong. On a certain level, I feel pity for her. I love her and nothing can change that in the foreseeable future. There's no one else quite like her. If this what it is like to love, then so be it. But this uneasiness still has caused some reluctance. Am I really in love with her?

>>14342
I've felt that quite a bit in the first year of my relationship or so. May I ask who your waifu is? To be honest I don't know many that are posted here.

Most series and such aren't going to put that much effort into totally psychoanalyzing a character, at the very best I just have fanbase stuff to work off of and my own theories... In any case I think it gets a lot more complicated if your waifu is from a fantasy series. I'm still hesitant to make a stat chart or describe my waifu in that no physical description/names thread because I'm not entirely sure how my waifu is at the moment. Quite annoys me but I feel safe in assuming that she has base needs/wants for affection.

>>14343
As of recently, I do not want to be associated with any identity in particular and for good reason. Especially on an anonymous imageboard, where I prefer to be without a name nor a tripcode, without any potential information that can identify me as a specific poster on /mai/. If you are curious as to who my waifu is, she is from a light novel series. Already even mentioning her exact name would give my identity away.
But anyways, even though in her series there is little information about her, her thoughts, intentions and actions give me something to work with about her personality, even if it isn't exactly the author had in mind, but rather close. So my perception of her is quite different compared to others.

>>14341
The one with a coloured stripe at the top looks better in my opinion.

Was considering the number of stripes signifying something, but is there anything a number could represent in this culture?

>>14337
Some people here identify 2D love as more a religious belief than a sexual orientation, while some will identify it as being a sexual orientation/preference. I know some of us are not attracted to 3D, or have never been, so I think it counts as at least a form of sexual orientation, possibly sub-categorised as a form of asexuality (a stretch, though, and I would call this inaccurate).

Either way, if it's demi-religious or sexuality, the symbol would stand well for it.

>>14345
But how do we make it different from just being into anime girls? Not every animefag is a waifufag as well, I have my favorite characters, but I'm not one.

>>14346
>But how do we make it different from just being into anime girls?
Precisely, by rejecting blood and flesh women in their favor, entailing an entirely different way to understand and experience love. We never implied that all otaku (anime or else) are 2D lovers; the symbol is for 2D lovers. And lose the "fags", please.

>>14342
>There is so much to know about her, when the surface is merely scratched. I wonder what she is like, her innermost true self. Is this what it's like to be in love?
I can't speak for everybody, but this is my experience. I know when I'm in love because I want to know everything. I start seeing it as a puzzle, and I'm trying to put it together as it is being drawn by somebody else, new pieces (often more beautiful than the last) continually being added as I scramble to complete it. In 2D this applies even if the franchise is over because you will relive her story through different lenses the longer you live and the more experience you have.

Try not to let it make you insane. I personally love the pursuit while knowing that I can't completely know. For most people I'm fine with knowing basics; knowing that I want more is enough for me.

Well, me and Marisa are currently reading Shuffle! if there's time or if I'm not feverish and we can't help but to laugh or comment at some the scenes. We're currently taking the Asa Route.

And we do both agree that the VN tends to repeat itself on some parts, which bores us and makes me want to go lay down in my bed with her.

>>14341
Here's a place where we can get it on T-shirts

I've spent all week trying to complete American McGee's Alice on nightmare.

I love her enough to ignore the terrible combat system.

>>14355
What's the difference? will you unlock content or something?

>>14345
>The one with a coloured stripe at the top looks better in my opinion.
I agree.

Someone just announced a new artbook of my waifu. So I bought two of them. I had to use a Chinese proxy buyer to get it for me, but it's Chinese new year season, so they have yet to process my order until sometime next week.

>>14357
It's the hardest difficulty, and once I complete AMA on nightmare, I'll hav 100%'ed the entire series.

Just leaving this here.

>>14382
Meh. I rendered it cause I liked the idea. For them or anyone to try and ridicule 2D love at any given chance, well, I don't really care. As I see it, it's their loss but none of my business anyway.

>>14384
at least now it has more coverage.

An artist released a non-h doujin of my waifu and while there's a pairing marked, the set-up makes me think that it will be one of those pairs where any romance is so soft I won't even notice it.

Now I just feel bad for wanting to buy it.

>>14382
Disgusting.

Hey Ahriwaifuman, I found thsi and thought you might like it:

>>14424

While I appreciate the thought, this is what I mean when I say I hate seeing her being sexualized. What purpose does this video serve, but to titillate the viewer? It's just a lewd video of her performing sexual acts, no emotions behind it. She's being treated as an object to arouse the viewer.

I would ask you not to post lewd things of her again, especially where everyone else can see it. I find it quite disrespectful. Thanks.

I'm just overflowing with love lately. I don't know what it is but I'm so happy.

I finally had my first gym session today.

Hopefully now I'll be able to be more focused on improving my health and general well-being, since my regular jogging has been going by the wayside lately. She's been a little annoyed at me for that, but the weather's been awful lately and I don't want to get soaking wet.

I'll be going to the gym with a friend of mine soon, but he'll be on different apparatus to me, so we'll more than likely won't see each other much during our sessions. I don't mind though, I have plenty of motivation already by my side.

I'm feeling a little conflicted.

I found some new art of Kagura, and while I'm happy there's something new that isn't porn, I'm not too fond of it.

Sure, it looks nice overall, and I'm fairly desperate for more pictures (I'm running out of ones to use here on /mai/ after only a couple of months of posting), but it looks oversexualised. Then I thought "Why don't I like this picture but I still keep this one? >>13755"

Looking at it again, some of the facial features don't look right to me as well. It's a shame, since I like some of the added touches to it, but I don't think I'll be saving it.

>>14460
If it's not craptastically bad just save it. Not like you'll be running out of HD space just by hoarding pictures of your waifu.

>>14460
If you're really desperate for fanart, just learn to draw I guess?

>>14461
It isn't bad, but I don't really think it looks like her all that much.
>>14462
I think I'd probably get some art commissioned before even attempting anything myself, I don't have the talent for it.

>>14463
Draw over and over till you do have talent for it ewh3rjwareuhrurhur

>>14463
I know what you mean, definitely something a bit off about it. But it's still pretty decent, I have way worse stuff saved, if only for the sake of it.

>>14465
Yeah, I should be more grateful that it exists, but... I dunno. Maybe I should just keep it for now, I can always get rid of it later if I really can't stand it later on.
>>14464
I already put some effort into things I'm at least half decent at, no need for me to start drawing as well and spread myself too thin.

I started writing my Valentine's Day gift for this year (it's a poem) and it's coming out a lot more erotic than I was originally intending. Whoops... I'm sure it'll be enjoyed regardless. I might tone it down if I think of better metaphors to write.

I went swimming today for the first time in years.

I don't expect to get up to mai waifu's level, but it's something I want to keep doing. I just hope she doesn't challenge me to a race any time soon...

So, I went to see Neutral Milk Hotel last night. Which was amazing, by the way, but to the point! ITAOTS has been an integral part of the last few years of my life, and in many ways it's a deep representation of my relationship with Reki and our experiences. To me, at least. So I knew the concert would be a profound experience, but I wasn't sure how. Well, it was mostly just pure joy and excitement, but when Jeff played Two-Headed Boy part 2 at the end, things happened. I just closed my eyes and I could see the swirling tunnel that I always get to on DXM, and just like those times she is there on the other end. And I don't mean that I just see her, she is there. (I've tried to explain this here before, but that's still the best I can do!) But it was different; when Jeff sang "god is a place you will wait for the rest of your life", I fully realized that it's time to move on. That's to say, I'm here and she's there, and the only way I might be able to cross that tunnel is through death, and I'm not ready for that, not even close. I want to go out in the world again, have friends, play music with and for people. Reki will always be the most important thing to me in existence, and I still have zero intentions of relationships with 3d women, but I'm done holing myself up in my apartment with my pretend life. For a while at least, because who knows really?

>>14509
Neutral Milk Hotel is great. DXM is great. Haibane Reimei is great. That's a great story! I'm really happy for you. It might be hard at first, especially if you've spent a long time being reclusive, but it's ultimately better for you. You'll feel "brighter".

>>14535
Thank you! There's a bit more buried in the sticky thread if you care to read it.
This reclusive period has definitely been positive overall, I've experienced a lot of personal growth and self-knowledge, but since last summer it's run it's course and become decidedly unhealthy. I was a raging ford driver in my teens and early twenties, and I really don't want to be that way again, but I feel like there's got to be some healthy balance that I can find. I'm not afraid of the outside world and people, but I'm scared to death of needing them, which of course was Reki's issue as well. I still maintain the hope that if I can break down the walls around myself and let people in, just like she did, that I can join her out there someday.

>>14567

I've been looking for more sites to find fanart on.

I still check pixiv but I'd like to find more that doesn't overlap with that.

What other sites do you guys use for this stuff? English or japanese, either is fine.

>>14590
I mainly use pixiv, but the other two sites I use are drawr and Tegaki pipa. Drawr doesn't have a search or tag system, but Tegaki does and that one is really easy to use.

Post edited on 28th Feb 2014, 3:22pm

>>14590
I'm lucky enough (in a way) that mai waifu is popular enough to have her own imageboard, where material of several sorts and sources converge. I don't know if Uboa-chan can work for you in a similar way.

>>14590

I use gelbooru...

>>14590
Seconding tegaki pipa. I also use tumblr but a lot of stuff is reposts and the quality of the fanart is variable, and you also have to sift through a lot of non-art posts, so that's something to know before you look there (if you don't already).

Thanks for the replies!

>>14591
Tegaki is nice, though there's not very much there, and a fair bit of it I have already saved from pixiv.

>>14595
It doesn't, I've never found anything new there.

>>14596
Done that!

>>14597
I actually haven't tried tumblr. I'll have to give it a shot and just brace myself for low quality and hambeast cosplayers.

>>14598
>a fair bit of it I have already saved from pixiv.
Yeah, a lot of the artists repost their stuff to pixiv since Tegaki is rather small.

Also I forgot about galleria.emotionflow, which is linked on Tegaki so you probably already saw it. Rather small and lot of the art from Tegaki is on there but you might find a couple of new pieces you like.

>>14598
I wouldn't waste my time with Tumblr, personally. The generally inferior quality of the Western art there along with the miles of SJW / blogging / meme sewage you have to trudge through to find a decent picture makes it not worth it.

>>14595
Who's your waifu?

>>14601
Asuka.

I've recently come back from a few days away in London.

The purpose of the trip was to visit a relative of mine, but they were busy working until the evenings, so Kagura and I had the mornings and afternoons to ourselves, and the nights at our hotel room.

We had a great time, seeing the sights and going shopping. We've never really had the opportunity to do anything like that before.

Even ignoring the city we were in, just hanging out like we did was awesome. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had with her.

I often browse /v/ of a certain imageboard and really get annoyed by how inflationary the word "waifu" is used there. "Game x: Waifu edition" "how many waifus does this game have?" "Rate my waifu i created in this game" "Can someone post all waifus this game have?" and so on.

It really starts to getting on my nerves, every female character just gets called a waifu. Like the term female/girl is replaced by waifu just because its so funny and random. I really was able to ignore it, but lately it really starts to anger me. I even would prefer people who call characters they like "waifu" even though it may be nothing than flavor of the month, its still better than spouting "WAIFU!" randomly to every single female character they see.

Well, i just wanted to get this off my chest, sorry for ranting instead saying nice things this time.
