Next week my surname will be officially changed to 'Knowles'. It's the closest thing I could think of to 'Knowledge'.

On the Deed Poll I am giving my reason as being related to a family dispute and similar stuff.

In reality, it is one in a line of my personal IRL Patchouli tributes.

If there exists a 'too far' in the mind of /jp/, am I there yet?

No you don't. You just have to write, sign and guarantee a declaration that you are changing your name. It's not like there's some authority that governs it, the only law governing it is if you use multiple names to commit fraud.

>> No.4600044

Reason: I am a hopeless Otaku with an uncanny dedication to my cartoon waifu who was a level 4 boss in a shooting game. I fell in love with her and I now want to change my name to something that vaguely resembles "Knowledge" because I'm too afraid to actually use "Knowledge" or let anyone know that this whole clusterfuck has been brought about by me being a worthless NEET trying to gain the approval of a magical librarian who does not exist.

Oh I agree.

I don't really believe in love... just seems to be... your own little preferences/ideals projected onto some girl... and then you slowly realise over time that she doesn't live up to those ideals and never really did. An illusion.

Maybe that's why I prefer 2D. I place all my preferences and characteristics onto Patchy, and it remains that way. She can't suddenly change, because her entire persona is created in my head. She doesn't have the power to change. Or to cheat. Etc... she's perfection. And if I want her to, she'll love me just as much.

Of course I know it's another illusion. But what isn't, really?

Good man!

I understand completely. That feeling you get when you imagine her at your side, smiling at you, when you wake in the morning and see her asleep by your side, her chest slowly rising and falling with her gentle breaths, when you come out of the shower and see her absorbed in a book to the extent that nothing could rouse her attention. Little moments with her are enough to set your heart aflutter with childlike glee, and make your vision tainted with the gentle pink of love.

I wish you the utmost happiness with your waifu, my friend.

Love does not exist, so love is not an obstacle. There is no obstacle, so Patchouli's not existing is not an obstacle nor an advantage for nothing. She's nothing. This conversation has lost it's sense some posts ago because we're talking about something that is nothing.

Wait... wat?

Wait, let's start again from the begining:

Love does not exist, but neither does Patchy. But love not existing is not a problem for OP, because that makes him closer to Patchy.

But if love does not exist, why should he care about being closer to something that doesn't exist ?

It isn't too difficult, if you truly want one.
Simply continue through your life as it is, reading VNs and SNs, reading LNs or manga, watching anime, playing various video games, etc.
Eventually, there will come a character that makes your heart skip a beat, that makes you eager to see or read more of them, that makes you want to be there with them, just so you could see her smile at you.

If you want one, she's out there. It just takes a little time.

Someone is trying too hard.

>> No.4601542

>>4601386 here, it's kind of hard to explain, but let me try.

...Okay, I guess when your waifu has a fanbase, there are tons of other nerds out there who fap to her. There's nothing really personal about a waifu when she was created by someone else, and is considered a waifu by others. Of course, she doesn't exist, so she doesn't really love you.

Boyfriend/husbands of celebrity women sort of have the same problem, but their woman actually exists and loves them back. No matter how many people fap to their girlfriend/wife, it will always be a real, personal love between the two of them.

Now, with an original wife, the bond is a little bit more personal. Her love with you is canon, because you're her creator, and what you say goes.

So, that's why I want to create my ideal waifu. She will truly love me in a personal way.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go cry in a corner.
