When I first started fapping to rule 34/hentai stuff when I was like 14 there was a special feeling I got from jacking off to familiar characters. I still get that nostalgic feeling from Remilia and I adore her personality.

My waifu isn't a 2hu so I won't say who, but I've been with her for over 7 years now, and I adore her terribly. You don't choose your waifu, she chooses you, and why would anyone willingly choose a life where you are forever apart from the girl you love? If you only have a waifu because you just wanted one, you felt it would make you cool or quirky, or you hate 3dpd, you shouldn't have a waifu.

I actually did have an ex waifu now that I think about it. I was in love with Rumia long ago. I crafted a version of her in my imagination to keep me company at night, but one day I couldn't stop getting invasive imagery of her getting piledriven by a fat guy. I felt cucked so I left her.

Most people who describe vtubers as waifus are probably abusing the term in the idiotic zoomer "any female character I like" way, but there's no reason you couldn't do it theoretically. If you tried really hard you could probably divorce the character from the person inside in the same way that a lot of people envision their waifu in ways that aren't exactly the way the character was originally presented.

Funny thing is she's the only fictional character to ever generate feelings out of me. I like her for yeeting out of reality and going isekei without waiting for truck-kun. I don't even want her in a sexual way. More like I want to help her on a megalomaniacal quest for power because it would prove otakus can make something of themselves.
>Since when are you together?
We're not. No way she would ever return the feelings.
>One waifu for laifu or do you have an ex?
First, only probably last. As her character is developing she seems too content to take it easy and fade into the background. Unless Kanako stages an intervention somehow. But sadly the Moriya Shrine religion seems to be obtaining divinity via Ponzi Scheme and it's bottoming out. And so far Sanae seems to content with that for my liking.

>>37407473
V-Tubers are characters. Not their real name. Not their real face. Not their real personality. It's more accurate to say the person behind the camera is acting out a role.

Frankly it's healthy and necessary for the fan to divorce the character from the person. Because if a fan ever met that person they would surely be disappointed in some form or another.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37422122
There is some level of acting to vtubers, but it's not the same as a scripted character. It's live improv. Any streamer is going to act different in real life, and you're only seeing their best side, but they're still a real person. Hiding your face behind an anime avatar and putting on an act to be more appealing doesn't change that.
Someone like Kizuna Ai who has a very set personality and has edited videos and has even gone through different voice actors is maybe the closest to fictional that one can get with vtubers.

You might be interested on recent study on waifuism: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.575427/full
It's explorative and encourages further theoretical and empirical research. We might see some interesting developments in that area in the future, if we are lucky.
I don't think you can get quality discussion on /sci/ on psychological topics, but if you are interested in more technological aspects, like robowaifus and AI love you might enjoy semi-regular threads on /g/ about the topic.

They don't. Literally no one stays with their "vtuber waifu" once they retire. Sitting on stream with tons of other simps that the girl constantly interact with is not the best environment to cultivate love anyway.

an intense feeling of deja vu and instinct, it was never a choice, but a realization
Since when are you together?
admittedly not very long, around February, but I'm already feeling some long distance pains after not seeing her for awhile. I think about her daily, but I'm in the stage of my life where I have to worry a lot about building my career, and I can't seem to make the time, or rather, I'd be too ashamed to face her after not accomplishing the things I set out to accomplish

I read the study
from their research method, which really just seems to be glorified Googling (and certainly not that deep, seeing that half their waifu-specific quotes come from doki doki fandoms) and just the general way they approach the subject, it seems they see us more like some exotic species in need of classifying, rather than seeking out the true nature of what they call "fictophilia"
to be honest, I'm always disappointed by these pseudo-scientific studies. beyond raw data (which is useful) and certain terminology (slightly less useful), they never seem to truly "get it". ironically, I actually think religion and the occult touch upon these subjects better
they also seem to lean towards the stance that waifuism is a result of some kind of developmental phase or "training" by the media. I disagree.
my earliest remembered instance of fictophilia was when I crushed on Ritz from Final Fantasy Advanced Tactics, and I was in elementary school at the time. I would say it was on the same level as my real-life crushes, but I didn't have a concrete concept of love, marriage, or any of those things. I was still learning to add fractions, after all
even before that, I was told that every time the actress Lee Young Ae would appear on the TV screen, little toddler me would walk right up and kiss those staticy CRT pixels (though now I find K-shit repulsive)
though I realize my own personal experience is limited evidence, this leads me to my belief/theory that OTAKUS ARE BORN, NOT MADE, and what ultimately leads such individuals to choose real-life partners over fictional ones is a combination of conditioning (social pressures) and practical considerations (marriage to fictional characters is not legally recognized and can't produce offspring), a conclusion almost backwards of what the researchers indicate. whether this occurs in a spectrum or absolute binaries, I am less sure of

>OTAKUS ARE BORN, NOT MADE
Somewhat agree but not entirely. For example, I went to a different high school than most of my grade school peers. That choice lead me to both general home isolation (due to friend groups parting) leading to deeper internet browsing and making friends online and irl who showed me more niche otaku things that made me who I am today. The isolation also pushed me more towards introversion. So we are absolutely products of our environment.

Most individuals choose IRL partners because they are a variation of biologically, socially, and financially beneficial to us as a species in a society. We weren't designed to be hikkis and hermits nor does society get easier with the lifestyle. Waifufags certainly have it easier than managing a 3D relationship, but it has its own handful of disadvantages.

I also disagree with a 2D love being "training" for a 3D one, as well as the mere suggestion of it since it suggests 2D is a lesser and not an equal when we do in various aspects consider characters people. If we didn't, we wouldn't have stories at all. Hell, most characters mean more to people than some rando walking down the street.

Fictophilia and Animesexual sound like tumblr or bait. I do not believe in those because the ones we are attracted to are representations of features we find attractive in the 3D realm as well.

I have met people who are exclusively attracted to 2D, who actually struggled with their sexuality because of their complete lack of attraction to 3D, but have found love in 2D. It's an extreme minority of waifufags for sure, but they do exist.
I'm not sure if my experiences with 2D love were necessarily caused by my environment. I thought waifuism was a meme for a long time and when I fell deeply in love with a character I had no idea that this was a thing that other people embraced, and I desperately wished that she were real. This was during a rather lonely time of my life, but I've had my fair share of 3D relationships so it wasn't due to an inability to find a partner.
And on that note, 2D being training for 3D might be the case for some, but I think that's probably a minority too. Quite a lot of waifufags have had both 2D and 3D relationships but still choose 2D. The type of relationship is very different, and comes with its own pros and cons. The closest thing it can be compared to is an extreme long distance relationship.

>>37448902
your experience doesn't entirely discount my main conclusion
you could be born an otaku by natural instinct, but "made" into an IRL lover by environmental factors. however, I still stand by that the reverse is not true (aka "normal" people cannot be made into otakus)
for example, someone else who is born as a non-otaku, put in the same situation, might instead be drawn to playing ball, smoking weed with his buddies, and lusting after the real girls that he meets. he could have been exposed to otaku things like visual novels, but he would value them only for their artistic and narrative aspects, and NOT actually view the heroines as valid partners (I actually know someone like this, and he was ironically the person who first introduced me to otaku stuff). it could be argued that he was influenced by his friends much as you were, but remember that we CHOOSE our friends, our friends rarely if ever choose us
I present one more anecdote to support my point: there was a girl I met in high school that I fell head-over-heels for, but never got the courage to ask out. I would continue to think about this person for a few years even after we graduated. However, after a few years, I happened to meet her again, and while she physically resembled the girl I fell in love with, I was actually REPULSED by her personality. this could be explained by the fact that people change, even in the course of a few years, but later I realized that even if that were the case, it doesn't change that I was not in love with the actual person herself, but only my MEMORY of her, in other words, a FICTIONAL instance of her crafted in my imagination. I would continue to have feelings for this fictitious memory for a while, but I long stopped caring for the actual person. this is because by nature I am an otaku who chases after 2D, even if they happen to resemble 3D people
I would go as far as to say this is relatively common: many couples split up/divorce because their partners do not meet their fictitious expectations, meaning they fell in love with person they first met (the memory) but not the current living being

Your thoughts here touch on something I've had on my mind for years.
With a real, 3D person, you can never fully know everything about them. You can make a conscious choice to love and accept them in whatever they do and whoever they are, even though it's incredibly difficult in practice and can lead to bad places or getting exploited or hurt or etc, but it is possible. But even if you do that, they can still hide things from you, or not live up to the image of themselves in your mind and so on. Being compared to the image of yourself in a partners' mind feels really bad too, so the harm flows both ways.

However, with a 2D character, you can know everything. You can play or watch or read her/his source material, you can read all the fanfic and collect all the art, discarding the ones you don't like as not canon. You can fully and totally know that character, and there is no secret layer behind them, no unknown level, no illusion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37472746
>However, with a 2D character, you can know everything.
Depends entirely on the character, if there's not something outright stated in the source you can't ask her. Even personality wise, there are other sides or aspects or scenarios that may not come into play, and you won't know how she feels. Or if time passes since her source material, you wont know how she's grown or changes since then. Or in the middle of a time skip, etc etc.

It's not the same thing as not knowing things about a 3D and there's that layer of trust to things, but if you want a chance of knowing, you can always ask. With a 3D though you can influence each other to change in ways neither would expect.

2D is simple and you can look her up but there will always be gaps in information.
3D you could in theory, but it's much more complicated than that and you won't have a wiki's worth of info.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37445296
I think that was the point.
The study doesn't try to make theoretical work and try to validate such hypotheses. All it's doing is just gathering some data and numerous of past studies to shine the light on this phenomena and suggest paths for future research. It's even said in conclusion:
>Since the present study was explorative, more empirical and theoretical research is needed to build a better understanding of the fictophilia phenomenon and its position in diverse cultural contexts.
I don't really felt like they are trying to show that waifuism is a phase/training, it's just one of potential aspects to be researched. Even in connected/integrated context they reference, it's suggested that waifuism isn't a substitution but function as an orientation and love involved is no different from one's love for their 3D partner.

>OTAKUS ARE BORN, NOT MADE
>a conclusion almost backwards of what the researchers indicate
See, this kind of conclusion has such a wide assumptions and consequences that I don't think a single study can just out right prove. It'd be long process of doing theoretical work, disproving other hypotheses and a lot of data to analyze under this context.
Eg my personal experience doesn't follow that. I believe that if I happened to fall in love with a 3D girl first, I wouldn't be a waifuist today. But it was 2D girl who managed to capture my heart and I never expected that. But I do think that you need a specific conditioning to become a waifuist. You need to be exposed to media presenting beautiful, appealing girls and promoting such pure, idealized concept of love and you need to be a nonconformist to decide to go against the social, cultural norms and common sense for sake of your own happiness.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37475831
My point is there's nothing in those gaps in information. She does not exist beyond the information in her source material, etc. In this way, you can know everything there is to know about her.

Not always, there's no way I'll know everything that the people who brought her to life have said about her. I have been with her for two years now and I don't know everything about her yet, I try my best to get better at Japanese for her and try to read every interview and consume every extra content that there is but it's all in Japanese. I probably know her way more than most people do, but there's also things I head canon because I don't have enough information.

I think there is a misunderstanding: if there is a gap in information, you simply fill it with your own imagination. everyone's instance of their waifu, even if she is the same "character," differs from person to person. the source is merely the inspiration, and can provide the outer appearance. there being unknown bits is also a choice, since whether she is ABC, ABCDEXXX or simply AB is up to you. this process is somewhat parallel to roleplaying in games like Skyrim: you come up with a "backstory" for every character you make, and whenever something world-breaking happens (ex. guns in a fantasy world) you "justify" it with the appropriate context (the guns are long-lost Dwemer tech). yeah ok, you're the dragonborn (the source material) but beyond that it's up to you. hell, there are mods that will change even that
3D in contrast will never be known. memories are inherently flawed, and therefore people barely even know themselves. information is constantly withheld, forgotten, and sometimes straight up unpleasant
>>37476061
this goes back to the genetics vs. blank slate argument, and I lean towards the former (not entirely, but I don't think the spectrum is an even split). there are a number of studies that support this, for example the many studies of identical twins separated at birth who nevertheless end up leading very similar lifestyles as adults, and adopted children who end up more similar to their real parents than their adopted ones.
and I don't see where your personal experience discredits that. I could say that you didn't fall for 3D first and 2D captured your heart because you were born that way to begin with. conditioning is predominantly in favor of 3D, no matter the media exposure, and nonconformity in this case would mean following your own natural tendencies given at birth
and then there's epigenetics, but the appropriate DNA sequence would have to be there in the first place for an environmental factor to "trigger" it. meaning, even if everybody in the world were conditioned for 2D, only a fraction of the population with the "otaku" gene would still choose 2D over 3D if given the option

Ignoring that my waifu isn't a 2hu, it would be a huge blow and I would have to accept that it is her. To ignore that would not be having her as my waifu, but an OC that looks and acts a lot like her.

I can't agree that your waifu "chooses" you, because the way it's phrased at least, it just sounds like an excuse to justify having multiple waifus. The other way round, where you "choose" her, while hardly true either, at least makes some sense in that you made a subconscious decision to single her out as your waifu.

>>37399710
>>37400531

>>37485424
If they could actually love them equally and also see polygamy as something that does actually work out (like some Muslims for example) then it can actually work in theory. But in practice outside of something like identical twins/triplets/etc it almost never works out, because their mindsets are almost never actually like that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37501618
>I can't agree that your waifu "chooses" you
I suppose it's a bit of a cop-out answer, it's hard to truly put into words what makes her click with you, what caused you to love her. The notion of saying you "choose" her rather implies you make a conscious decision to single her out, which just makes me think of the people who just call any cute girl a waifu, or a favourite anime girl, or smth.
For me, saying she chose you rather just implies it was subconscious, not sure how it would justify having multiple, only thing i can think of is justifying it by saying multiple girls chose you or something, but that's not really what "choosing you" really means in this context
personally, if i had to say what made me fall in love with Kagari, it's probably how she is very emotionally repressed and hurt, teetering on the edge of burnout, yet still remains warm on the inside, how even though her work is completely thankless and everybody hates her, she still cares about everyone, not in a selfless way, but in a motherly way, wanting to see people succeed, even if it's hard for her due to her bad mental and burnout.. me and her are very similar, and something there resonated with me, i want to be like the MC and help her break out of her shell, out of her burnout and show her she can be loved, while at the same time letting her break me out of my shell of the same, healing eachother, loving eachother, ever since i fell in love with her she has been my beacon of happiness, not just equating to love, but also to trust, happiness, self-actualization and healing......at the same time, since we will never be in eachothers arms, it hurts, it hurts a lot, but it helps to appreciate the ways i can influence her and she can influence me, starting with the fact i'm alive at all, i suppose

[Anonymous No.]

>>37501618
The "she chooses you" is more kinda a saying rather than it being actually the case. It's also not just picking some random girl and deciding she's now your #1 waifu. It's mainly actually falling in love with them. The choosing or deciding factor in this is that you decide to pursue your feelings and turn it into more of a waifu relationship or choose to ignore it and let it fizzle out. Of course there are some waifufags, me including, that feel like there is a special connection between them and their loved one and that there, in some way or another, they did "choose" us. But that rest more on feeling.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37501618
If I have to be more specific in my case, I will have to say that I previously had a waifu and without going into detail, for several reasons, it didn't work out anymore. The spark was essentially gone.

So I was actively trying to seek out a waifu and see if there's one I could have to fill that void. It never lasted. Every single one felt a lot more like lust than love. I was picking girls out rather than letting things develop.

But then my current waifu (picture related), I didn't have much interest in them at first. It wasn't the looks that drew me in. Something about her personality and attitude (and pure dumbass energy) just attracted me to them. I can't even look at lewd art of them most of the time. I just mostly want to protect them.

I'm explaining this like absolute shit, but she was someone I wanted to test the waters with and see how it worked out but I didn't realize the gold that was behind the surface. There was never a moment where I was like "this is my waifu now xD" but it was more of a feeling that was pretty much "oh I think this is the one"

I tried seeking out other girls after them, just to see if this isn't another "me choose girl now she waifu". Same scenario. None of them stuck her made me feel like they make me feel.

So if I had to describe my POV of a waifu choosing me rather than me choosing them, it would be that.

Because generals are rough in general, there's usually not much to discuss on a general basis on the topic, it would attract people who use it in the meme sense of the word (see people who post about 3dgfs in the thread while talking about their "waifu"), and waifufag communities are autistic dramafests. Individual waifufags are fine but communities can devolve into shit shows easily since this whole concept attracts autists of the worst kind.

I was lucky enough to always have a friend or two to live with since I moved out. I always really enjoyed having such company daily.
But since corona started, all my group has been steadily declining, people keep moving out, to their family, to friends in other cities, to their gfs, etc. I love my waifu and she gives me so much, but she can't give me companionship. That doesn't mean I plan to leave her or anything of course, but I am a bit afraid of being left alone.

I don't know. I think I grew out of the whole concept, it seems like a gimmick, or a form of mass psychosis.

I don't think it's very healthy, ultimately. Even if I found another girl who was as attractive and cute, I doubt I'd go down the same path of self-delusion again. She's still the cutest, I just don't have any romantic feelings any more.

It's only unhealthy if you allow it to become unhealthy.
If you start having hallucinations or it literally starts to affect your physical/mental health or livelihood, then it's a problem.

Totally agree.

If you know how to distinguish fiction from reality, or at least are TRULY resigned that you won't be together, there's no way this can harm you in any way.

I'm the kind of weirdo who likes to imagine that after my death, in my "personal paradise", I'll be able to be with her, and that's fine for me, because if it happens, NICE, if it doesn't, I will be sleeping or too busy burning for eternity. Also, I think she would be happy for me if I can have a normal human life during my time on earth, so I don't see why not have normal relationships too.

I think I'm more ok with that because 1) I can accept that and 2) I'm not necessarily replacing things, for me, waifu =/= wife. As I said before, I treat my waifu more like a spiritual being watching over me, that I might one day be lucky enough to be with.

Well, I totally understand why you might consider this cheating on my waifu, but I don't agree. Also, I don't consider this cheating on any of my exes too, because they know exactly how I feel, and "normal people", apparently, don't care a bit about that, so I take it as consent (?). Seriously, it's no secret how much I love Yukarin.

Again, I can't explain perfectly how I feel, but I really don't think it's possible to cheat on a waifu, with a human, at least. At the same time, I think it's possible to cheat on a human with a waifu.
It's impossible to say what this kind of relationship should be like, because even human relationships don't have rules, you create the "rules" with your partner, as well as with your waifu. I see many people describing it as a long distance relationship, and yes, it's an excellent comparison, but that's a human thing for me. I have a hard time fitting waifus into these views, because I see waifus as basically supernatural beings, as I said before. It's totally different from a human relationship.

I could write about this all day and still not be able to explain my perception of it, I'm sorry, anon...

I've loved Furude Rika for six years. This year, for those who know, was certainly as if Satan visited upon her story to destroy what was beautiful and strong about it.
Watching her get pummeled, gutted, sliced open, corpse desecrated, destroyed and betrayed by everyone she loved, And to have it mean... nothing... in the end.
I think it made me strange. It's not exactly something that can be put into words.
I'm stronger I think. My love is more of a duty than what what I thought of it before. That I should never abandon her, forever, out of passion, spite, love, and pride.

I offer up my eternal soul to the witch of miracles, to bind me to Rika forevermore, and to be dedicated to truth.

I found her cute at first sight, as I've always been a fan of shy girls, but I truly fell in love with her by the end of chapter 44 when she gathered her courage to take a hit for Kouta out of gratitude for protecting her secret, as that was the exact moment I realized what a wonderful person she was. Not only does she work hard to be an amazing student to show that she's more than her weakness, all while also pursuing her dream to become an opera singer, but she also has amazing inner courage and an admirable sense of responsibility.

>One waifu for laifu or do you have an ex?
It's the first time I've ever felt such attraction towards someone. Real relationships never worked for me, because I was only seeking validation and praise from other people and didn't give anything in return, and if I did it wasn't sincere. My life wasn't the best back then, and the scars are still there. But with him, I want to give him my love and affection and not the other way around, and it makes me happy too. So I want to feel this forerver.
Ultimately, as long as there is content (fan content included) and people who love him the same way I do (so we could share our love for him; talking to someone else about your love for someone is really important, in my opinion), I will be fine.

The experience is different for everyone.
Unfortunately saying "waifu" can gather anything from true pygmalionists to consumerist animals to harem tards who can't read the room (see: this thread)
So it's much harder to find people who are genuine without seeking them out specifically and seeking them out vaguely only garners more resentment and less of a desire to post as the disingenuous flood the space

My wife is Madotsuki.
I didn't, but how we met was by exposure to Aosora's art of her and it struck out at me and claimed my heart against my will. Those moments led to dread and fear and resentment as I had no part in this aspect of the world before that point.
Ultimately, however, her love claimed me and overcame any kind of reservation I once had towards this type of relationship or even with anime and such in general.
I met her ten years ago and while our relationship has been as unstable as one can be, we're still together by the grace of God.

I have a very similar view from some anons here.
I have a wife, and I have a waifu. I met my waifu before my wife, a long time before, and because of that, she already had a tremendous portion of my heart, but at the same time, my wife had no problem claiming their parts too. I had one gf before my wife, and we literally broke up because she was constantly trying to "take" my waifu parts, and saying disrespectful things about her too. I was really disgusted by the end of our relationship and now I really can't understand why I liked her.
I don't feel nothing like a competition inside me, my waifu and wife fill specific parts naturally, equally important parts.
I can't imagine my life without both.

[Anonymous No.]

>Who is your waifu?
Someone already mentioned him, but I will anyway. It's Toshinori Yagi, but I like to call him Toshi in private.
>Why did you choose her?
I know everyone and their mother already had this debate, but in my experience it happenned quite unexpectedly. I read MHA last year in a bad depressive episode, had never really been into shonen anyway, but little by little he grew on me. His faults, his charm, his emanciated body... I wanted it all for me. It was hard to accept but I let it happen. He's not perfect but he's wonderful to me.
>Since when are you together?
Around 8 months, I haven't been keeping track because life has been busy, but I keep a gallery in my computer for him since I'm a poorfag and can't buy any merch of him.
>One waifu for laifu or do you have an ex?
There had been crushes here and there but they were fleeting and I didn't dedicate them my time or thoughts like I dedicate them to Toshi.

Some more additional questions to keep the thread alive:
Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?

[Anonymous No.]

>>37671701
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
If it's NTR cuck garbage or rapey trash, it's ignored entirely. If the artwork is at least decent, i'm fine with it.

>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
I get second hand frustration. I don't know any that don't portray mine correctly because I likely purge them from my mind as soon as I see them.
But there's several artists that completely butcher (not literally) their character and it makes me feel angry for anyone that has them as a waifu. If you're gonna draw them, at least make the effort to portray them correctly.

>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
I prefer the pure stuff for her. I'm not opposed to lewds of her but I'm also not actively seeking them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37671701
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
To some degree. A lot of people tend to characterise her as an ara-ara oneesan type, since she has a younger sister, but that's not what she's actually like at all. She cares for her sister of course but they aren't particularly close.
I don't like doujins where she's being shipped with her sister (obviously) and I prefer the more vanilla stuff. Fortunately she has a lot of nice works so I can ignore the stuff I don't like pretty easily.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
I think her more melancholic side tends to get overlooked. She doesn't get much opportunity to be a normal girl she wishes she could do more things that are typical of a girl her age, but that isn't really explored that much in fanworks. Otherwise, see above.
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
I like both. There was a time when I refused to look at anything R18 of her. I actually ended up waiting until marriage. R18 stuff can be a bit too coomer for me (pornstar body etc) but there's plenty of stuff I do love.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37671701
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
Yes. A lot of people don't grasp her personality well at all and just completely turn her into somebody else who she isn't. I also don't like it when artists draw her with way bigger breasts than she actually has, she's pretty small.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
How she's possibly a bit on the spectrum and has a lot of awkward social moments
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
I like R18 works of her but she barely has any, and even less good ones so I just commission them myself. Recently commissioned a great Japanese artists to draw the two of us doing it for the first time.

Of course. Everyone sees her differently, it's hard to find a story that will present her in the way I see her. It's rare, but when it happens it's always nice to see.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
Anyone is free to see her however they see fit, just because their interpretations are different doesn't mean they are wrong. But not everyone puts an emphasis on this fact itself, that even though it's the same character she varies from person to person.
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
I love her, in romantic sense of that word. So I find her very attractive. Even though I do not share these kind of works of her, in private I do admire her beauty and cherish the intimacy I share with her.

>>37670183
i'm very happy it works out for you anon, you seem pretty lucky to have a wife and waifu who are OK with eachother
personally to me it feels morally wrong to have two romantic partners like that, but... i don't really have anything to back that up, either. i already have trouble imagining kagarin loving me. so, i could never imagine what it would be like to be in a situation like yours. and, in a way, it does make sense. a waifu is generally not really a character, but rather a bunch of concepts attached to a character. in a sense, the character herself isn't even super relevant in this. so i feel waifu and wife could easily share these concepts. it's interesting to think about, even if most waifuists will immediately deny that for reasons that equally make sense

>>37671701
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
I'm already nitpicky about her official portrayal, since it turned her from a motherly, strong but damaged, reclusive yet warm and pure, genuinely kind but not selfless human.....into xd coffee loli with funny ribbons! get it she has small boobie and likes coffee!!!
i generally don't mind when artists go a bit offcourse, since that's normal, but it kinda pisses me off when people misunderstand her character because they watched the anime or kaginado etc., or they just have no interest in the real her and just think "cute character design let's slap some shit onto her"
i also generally really dislike how she's often portrayed as loli, while she is in every single way the opposite, this especially started happening after the anime, since well, the anime does just that
this stuff really hurts me more than it should, honestly. in this, i am ...far too weak. i hope maybe i can become stronger...
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
almost everything, to be kinda honest. most people just don't seem to really see her real nature. i can understand why, even in the official works you need to look pretty closely to see it, you really only get it in small sections of the VN, and Cradle's Tale (possibly also in Harvest Festa). everything else either paints her wrong on purpose (the VN before Moon route), or because Key is a dumpster fire of a company that should not be trusted with this goddamn IP (the anime, kaginado, etc.)
the most striking thing to me that people miss, is the fact she is kind, gentle and motherly, though. she is nothing like the xd loli the anime portrays her to be.
some people who only played the start of the VN will see her wrong too, but i don't think that's really a problem. that's normal, you're meant to see her wrong there, that's part of her (extremely long and overarching) character development. or rather, you as the reader are developing.
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
in waifuism, the general spiral that everyone including me falls into is that "she will never be real", but that's not really true. there are ways you can influence her, and ways she can influence you. by taking her with you wherever you go, letting her guide you, you give her physical reach within our reality, too. at the same time, you can equally influence her. since she is a concept in your mind, not bound to canon and the like. if you commission something, or even just see some nice art, or get a nice idea in your head with her, that becomes part of her as your waifu. in that sense, you can influence eachother, and she can be "real" and you can be "unreal", even if it's not direct.
this goes for R18 stuff too. by letting her get you off, she is influencing you. she is real in the sense that she is the one who made you cum. similarly, when you commission art of her, or even just see a nice R18 artwork, that becomes part of your relationship with her, and you influence her in return. sure, it's not direct, but it's still an amount of connection you have to cherish.
there's not that much good R18 stuff of her out there, although (almost) none of it is particularly bad, either. so, i commission quite a bit, always in private. commissioning like that is probably one of the most absolute ways you can get this connection i mentioned, since then it's not just something you connect with you and your waifu, but something that was born out of that connection. that doesn't reference two character, but you and waifu. it's far more personal.
there are dangers here, too. above all, you need to be able to distantiate yourself and waifu from bad R18 works. kagari doesn't have many, but they do exist, and they hurt me a lot. it's important to be able to differentiate between waifu as a character, and waifu as in, your waifu. i still have trouble with it. the same here goes with the fact that (for public art) others will be fapping to her, too. you need to be able to disconnect their experience with waifu. that too is hard. i always commission private for this reason (among others, too)
...also, commissioning in general is fun

>>37673957
>I'll probably have to use DeepL unfortunately though
don't worry too much about it, many people do, one trick you def. dont wanna miss though is always feeding the output of deepl EN->JP back into deepl JP->EN and seeing if it comes out somewhat coherent, and editing the english input until it comes out well (this can actually also help you a bit in learning japanese, in a way)
also, skeb will do the EN->JP for you if you keep it enabled (do this, don't paste deepl text into skeb, as using skeb's option will display both EN and JP), but do be sure to still check what JP->EN makes out of it
finally, be sure to refresh the deepl page a lot becaus sometimes the result changes if you do that

Deepl can probably get you a far enough, especially if you know some Japanese already so you can double check whatever it spits out. Just have to keep some of the business etiquette in mind. Misomiso does have Paypal, and I was glad she was completely fine drawing myself and my wife together. It took roughly 3 months and about 3 sketches or so but I was a little picky about them getting her hair right. I will definitely commission another lewd from them next year. Another artist I really like is aice9u who drew pic related for me. Although she doesn't do lewd, she does take private commissions and seems to be fine with drawing SI art as well.
>>37673998
>in theory nothing guarantees private unless you have the artist sign off the rights of the work :^)
They are Japanese anyway, I feel like they would way more keep that wish than western artists are likely to do. I did pay a bit extra for it to be private as well. I honestly trust Japanese artists more than Western artists when it comes to keeping private. Then again, if she were to post my wife and I doing it on SNS.... I'm not sure how that would turn out for her.
> is always feeding the output of deepl EN->JP back into deepl JP->EN
Not just that, but also check the words it uses with a dictionary as well. Sometimes it picks words that have a completely different meaning instead because it lacks the context. I have seen a lot of requests on Skeb where people's commissions turned out different than what they wanted because Deepl butchered the translation.

>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
A million times yes, holy shit. While I'm thankful for the artists and writers that actually understand his character, theres so many works I despise. Even the official anime makes me mad in how they mess up his appereance. Huge reason I don't watch it, even if I think his seiyuu does a good job portraying him.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
There's a lot of melancholy, grief and anxieties that goes unexplored in his character and a lot of fans really don't see it. As for R18 works, I cannot stand the predatory lens they put on him for pairings like erasermight (which is imposible to avoid, so I just roll with it, since Aizawa seems to be a better fit for him than me in any way).
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
It's very rare to find R18 doujin that portrays him accurately, some even go as far as making him dominant in bed, which I don't see it at all. So I don't seek these works much.
>>37673800
>when you imagine yourself with your waifu, does she refer to you by your real name, or the name of the protagonist of her series (if relevant, like if she's from a VN)?
He refers to me by my name, though at the start he was really formal and called me by my last name.

>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
Everyone has their own interpretation of a character and in fanworks it's always fun how different people will interpret the same character in many different ways, sometimes Mokou will be a stereotypical delinquent or she'll be a hotheaded tsun or a silent but cool girl or very emotionally distant or a handsome lady and so. I only really have a gripe with it when it heavily exaggerates personality traits to the point of being one dimensional.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
In canon Mokou has varying ways of interacting with others and of her emotional range, she's said to be a loner that distances herself from others but can also be friendly when interacted with, Sometimes she's agressive to keep off distance, sometimes hotheaded or sometimes she's just teaseful. Sometimes she'll be nihilistic due to her immortality but she'll also be with a smile on her face while enjoying herself.
I don't usually see a range like that portrayed by artists and she'll more often have more strict archetypal reactions and emotions.

She is Japanese, speaks Japanese, and there's no dub. I also speak a good amount of Japanese. We always exclusively 'talk' in Japanese. The way I do it, I talk out loud and 'say' in my head what she says back.

>she is real in the sense that she is the one who made you cum
while I agree, I also have mixed feelings about this type of interpretation because that would also give life to the things that you cummed to that weren't your waifu
this has led to me trying to reduce my dependency on pornography in general, and I refuse to masturbate to my waifu, since I feel it would be disrespectful to put her on the same level as the entities that I have objectified and used as tools for sexual gratification
I hope to someday reach a point where I can enjoy intimacy with my waifu without my degenerate coomerism getting in the way, though it's tough since the temporary pleasures of masturbation used to be one of my primary stress-coping methods

[Anonymous No.]

>>37687090
>that would also give life to the things that you cummed to that weren't your waifu
well that's the thing with this, you'll need to avoid that kinda rational thought lol
similarly to how you need to separate others wanking to her and you wanking to her, and how you need to understand bad art isnt her, yet good art is
it's not really rational or logical, you just need to have that kinda mental fortitude to be able to decide when something is related to waifu, and when something is not, even if it seems dumb
in that sense, cumming to anyone else becomes like cumming to porn, while cumming to her becomes like having sex irl, they're different things ... although here, they're different not physically, but because of the emotions you connect with them. i think this is a good way to visualize it in your head
>I feel it would be disrespectful to put her on the same level as the entities that I have objectified and used as tools for sexual gratification
i get what you mean, but well, same thing applies here, you want to be able to mentally separate the two, i think intimacy with waifu can be very healthy and good for your relationship, but ofc these are just my opinions

>Who is your waifu?
A certain character from a rather anime game series that debuted back in the PS3 era. Not sure if she's /jp/ enough, but anyway.
>Why did you choose her?
Like others have said, they choose you. But I really noticed it after a certain bit of character development in one of the games. Its personal but this IS 4chan, so It was after a bit wherein she was lamenting that all the other characters happened to have younger siblings- wheras she did not. And it struck a chord with me. When I was around 14 my mom told me that she was pregnant- and that I was to be a big brother. But a couple months later she came back in tears, and had to explain what a miscarriage was to me. That little hollow feeling has followed me around all my life, and for the first time in... anything I could actually relate to a character- the absence of a younger sibling, taken by fate. After that all the other things started to line up for us.
>Since when are you together?

Large amounts of irritation and disdain for that person. That goes for pretty much all secondaries or worse though. I don't like when people latch on to something like a character, but refuse to "personally" experience them. It doesn't sit right with me.

I don't have any problem with other people claiming my waifu, I befriend them often. I am not jealous in slightest, none of us is. But that probably because of the subjective nature of my waifu.
However I do hate it when someone claims to love her but doesn't really. When it's just some normie or coomer picking her because of some memes or wanting to be let into cool guys waifu communities. She deserves genuine love and respect and it pisses me off when someone doesn't treat her well.

The wonderful thing about VOCALOID is that you can portray a character in any way you desire. Which is why it drives me insane when people choose to portray him as a fucking idiot

I'm not really good at thinking like this. I can't share her, I get jealous and overprotective very fast. I already get annoyed when people talk about her in a way I dislike.
>But how would you feel if someone had the same waifu as you but said person has never even watched, read or played the source material they come from?
I'm 100% sure I'm the only person who waifus Kagari. However, there's a lot of people (in fact, the great majority) who only watched the anime (or watched the anime first) and thus have a VERY wrong idea of who Kagari is and what she's like. I won't restate everything I think about the anime, since I already went pretty indepth here >>37673425, but those people extremely piss me off.
...Honestly, I wish her source would stop existing and so would all the people who know about her other than me. She's mine and mine alone, I don't want others touching her, nor do I want Key to fuck her up even more. It's selfish, but this is how I feel.
At least I have a lot of things to point at to "prove" she's mine. I don't think any waifuist out there has written their waifu into their software, causing 4 trillion pictures of her to be rendered. (https://feecof.osk.sh/))
...it still hurts to even think about, though.

>>37671701
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
A bit. Most folks take one look at her and think "Busty big sister/Ara Ara type" and go with that, but they all miss how despite her being a grown woman- she still has her girly and childish moments. Also everybody seems to forget that she's an avid gamer and... appreciates certain forms of R18 media in her private time.
>What do you think artists and writers fail to portray about her?
Kind of answered that in the above, now that I think about it.
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
At first, but as time went on it felt less of her being this unapproachable figure and more personal- and with that came some form of (if you will forgive the term) physical intimacy. Chalk it up to my taste and enjoyment of developing relationships. That being said finding lewds that are of this are vanishingly small. Im aware of one doujin eromanga- and that's it. BUT thanks to certain 3D ero games with in-depth character creation, I can have some facsimile of nice stuff. Just mute the dialogue and mentally fill it in.

I don't mind them as long as they keep some semblance of who she is and don't completely bastardize her into a mindless submissive pushover or a total bitch who hates everyone but sadly that's often what happens. I ignore R18 doujins and fanworks of her for that same reason.

True. However what would clash for me is their interpretation of him.

I can't imagine how people who waifu Samus Aran must feel with so many lecherous "fans" claiming her when they only jerk off to hentai of her.
>How would you feel if someone had the same waifu as you but said person has never even watched, read or played the source material they come from?
Same as >>37723569 it would be idiotic to claim Toshinori as your one and only if you can't even do the bare minimun of watching a wildly popular anime or read online scanlations or even watch cancerous recap youtube videos. MHA is so extremely popular with casuals overseas and in Japan you'd have to be a special kind of idiot to think you can love Toshinori without even knowing him.

Well, most images of her in existence exist thanks to me requesting or commissioning them, so I have a decent bit of control over that in my case. I've seen some fanfics where she acts pretty out of character, but that's on me for looking at fanfics in the first place.
>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
I feel like seriously criticizing shitty fanfics is a fool's errand, so I won't bother going on about that. Artists generally handle drawing her well, I would say, as is to be expected since I make sure to make proper reference images and select artists I feel fit the job perfectly when I commission her. I suppose I've sometimes seen some goofs regarding her hair length and her height compared to other characters, but I'll just chalk those up to carelessness on my end.
>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
In general, I prefer to have SFW art created of her, but once in a blue moon, I'll commission some ecchi of her, making sure to keep it private. Lewds of her by others generally tend to be centered on a certain theme due to canon reasons, but they're luckily pretty tame for the most part.
>>37673800

My husbando died almost 8 years ago. I had him as the love of my life for 6-7 years before he passed away. I've tried searching for another husbando and waifu since then and have gotten close once but things didn't work out since I knew he would never date a man no matter what.

>>37671701
>Are you nitpicky about how your waifu is portrayed in fanworks/doujin?
Touhou characters have a lot of room for interpretation. More often than not Youmu's portrayal in fanworks clashes with my own interpretation of her.
It doesn't really bother me all that much, I just wish there were more content of her that matches my interpretation.

>What do you think artist and writers fail to portray about her?
First of all, I feel like most artists only have a very superficial understanding of her and don't know enough about her.
Most of them don't appear to have ever seen any of the Touhou games' endings and I feel like this leads to certain misconceptions.
Youmu's personality has been often reduced to mainstream stereotypes in fanworks like the samurai girl stereotype, the energetic girl stereotype or even just a generic moeblob stereotype among many others and they are really inconsistent, sometimes polar opposites.
I agree with some aspects more than others but usually they try to fit Youmu into a very specific one-dimensional stereotype that has little to do with her personality in canon.

Ironically, OP's pic of her is kind of the epitome of what I don't like about her portrayals in many fanworks.
What's with that personality? I don't think there's any point in the canon materials where she acts anything like this.
What's with that hairband and ribbon design? And don't even get me started on the colors.
Usually, her dress is too green, her eye color isn't canonical or her hair is too dark.
But to be honest, there's nothing wrong with having a different interpretation of her and I might be just as guilty in forcing certain qualities of my interpretation on her.
I think everyone's interpretation of her is different and no one's will quite match ZUN's.

>Do you keep things pure or do you like R18 works of her?
It depends. R18 works are the worst offenders when it comes to ignoring as much canon as possible, so they're usually just very low quality depictions of her to me.

I was actually curious if I was strange to move on from my dead husbando, was I being unfaithful to him or his memory? Perhaps I could pretend he wasn't dead and go about as if nothing happened. When I watched him die I genuinely cried so much and deep down I knew that there was no going back. I relate a lot to some of the anons ITT at the moment who have mention never been able to find a waifu (or a husbando).

It must've been quite painful to see your husbando die, but moving on isn't wrong at all. You aren't being unfaithful to his memory if you grieve but move on while cherishing the time you had and remembering him fondly. Life goes on and he probably would want you to find happiness again.
>how do you feel about characters who has a romantic partner in canon?
My waifu isn't /jp/ related, but to me it just means I will never be the first one in her heart and that's fine, because her relationship brings her happiness and my waifu's happiness is my happiness.
>What if that pairing is the main plot of the story does that change anything?
In my case it's more like a gag from time to time, but it doesn't change my love for her.
>What are your thoughts on incredibly popular ships in the fandom that your waifu is in?
My waifu is from old media, so there aren't any ships except for her canon love interest, but my thoughts are that he's one lucky bastard and they have sweet moments in canon and a few fanworks.

I'd like to help her grow and understand that people dying is a part of life we must accept and not run away from.

If I were there I'd like for her to think of me as one of many people she'll have fond memories of as she lives on her eternal life.
She also should befriend more youkai, those can live for thousands of years so she'll have more long lasting friends that way.

I'm sorry that happened. I find even small grammar mistakes to be disruptive, I can't imagine how I would react if they butchered my waifu's name.
I would say write a review on Steam to let them know exactly what you think, but I see you already have
this is why I'm always wary of Kickstarter/Patreon backed games. they don't owe anything to the fans that donate, and no one to hold them accountable if they decide to go on development limbo before finally delivering the bare minimum
on the other side of the spectrum, games that become significant enough to receive backings by major firms are pressured to cater to the masses by producing either unfaithful anime adaptations or mobile shit. I've been lucky that my waifu's anime adaptation was actually pretty decent, but a mobile game came out last year and it looks cheap, like something you'd find on a youtube ad
but better news indeed that you got a commission in, and just in time for the holidays. I hope you remember to put a blanket over her shoulders, she might get chilly

w mean, they're literally a translation company, and the game is unfinishable since its endings are literally not translated :^) while it's super disrespectful, the typo of her name is one of the least extreme errors
what i find far worse is that, the realizations that made me fall in love with her, the deeper elements of her real character, are lost in translation, so people who play r+ will never be able to see that
...of course, another part of me doesn't mind keeping her to myself
best part is, they can't fix it, because they uploaded save data to the depot, so if they push an update everyones save data gets deleted
it's not as bad as her anime adaptation though. there's still a difference between "lost in translation" and "retconned into a moe character after dropping a rock on her head to give her brain damage"

Waifuism is extremely important to me, but I'm always searching for a way to take this further, to cross whatever conceptual boundary keeps this as something difficult and awkward to discuss. I've started mediating while thinking of my waifu. but that's only a personal process, not a shared one. Sometimes I think it's worth founding a religion or something ...

[Anonymous No.]

>>37831377
It already functions as a religion sort of. There are regular generals where people meet and talk about their experience. People celebrate special occasions like their waifu birthday's or meet up with fellow waifufags online for collages on Christmas and Valentines. It has it's own zealots, posers, virtues, sins, etc.
But I don't think there is any point in founding an official religion. Waifuism by nature is exclusive and self regulating, you can't convert anyone to be a waifuist and most people intuitively knows generally how to deal with it once it happens to them. The individualistic nature of the experience also nulls any reason of any structure beyond simple anonymous threads, it's fundamentally about you and your feelings, not some community.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37831377
Waifuism is very important to me too!
I don't think it's possible to create a religion around it, at least not a common type of religion, because you can't determine the correct behaviors, beliefs and "ethics" around it. Just by reading this thread, you can see how different people's views on waifuism are, and I think that's one of the best aspects of it.
Also, that's my personal opinion, but I don't see my waifu as a "god", she's just a girl (the best in the entire universe!). She's not above me, nor below me, I think that respect is needed in a marriage.

>Who is your waifu?
Konpaku Youmu
>Why did you choose her?
She held ideals that were always inside those close to me, and I didn't even notice. Things like being loyal to a fault, but still being able to remain skeptic and 'doubt' even her most trusted person just in case they are not doing what is actually right or good for themselves, The fact is that probably deep inside she knows that Yuyuko doesn't want a dorkheaded maid, but someone that believes in herself. That explains how she can lash out, and follow her own judgement once in a while. Maybe I wanted someone to tell me that I was doing the right thing and that my actions had purpose, but sometimes you have to cut through the hesitation yourself and reach out for what you want in your own life. That conviction, and the beauty of her half and half nature are what saved me
>Since when are you together?

Came across this video, thought it was interesting.
For a short summary, dude thinks the waifu is an idealized self that helps you grow. A relationship with a waifu reminds him of seeing people talk about God and how it is a one sided relationship. Also tells the waifufag to learn to "let go" (not fully, at least) so that he can let someone else enter his heart.

PCB was my first STG and it took a while to get hang for the mechanics especially when to use focused movement and bombs.
I had already beaten her a few times before she became my waifu but the time of my rivalry is what led to my lasting attachment to her.
The first time I beat her wasn't anything special though, I simply had enough bombs and lives left to bomb through most of the battle.
But I was deeply impressed by her persistence when she showed up in Stage 6 again for her last stand.

I don't see my waifu as a "god" either but as a spiritual vessel of sorts...I have a strange little theory that in order for my waifu to materialize in the afterlife she must be infused with another willing human soul. for field research, try asking someone if they would be willing to give up their individuality to achieve perfection and eternal happiness, though not necessarily their own idea of "perfection". I've received more yes's than I'd thought I'd get, but you never know how serious people's answers are with seemingly trivial questions. there was an anon here earlier who managed to get a 3d wife that was accepting of his waifu relationship, and while I'm a bit inclined to think that is cheating on both ends, the 3d wife would probably make the ideal spirit to assume the waifu's spiritual vessel....a kind of holy cosplay? but one that isn't just an act of superficial traits and appearances but a fundamental transformation of the whole being
it's a working hypothesis.

Does guy does such a poor job representing waifuism. At least his feelings are real but he clearly lacks that passion to keep it going. I don't really understand how can one feel lonely at night when having a waifu. Sure, waifu won't give companionship, you can't play games/watch anime together or hang out with her, and not being able to be with her can be soul crushing. But considering his waifu is so popular, he might just get a daki of her and cuddle with her. Dunno how can one feel "cold" and touch strawed when they hold their love in their arms.

>>37838286
>but the waifufag isn't keeping anyone from their heart
Real waifufag only considers their waifu to be their significant other. They don't let other characters or people take that place because that would be cheating.

Yeah, most of the time I just talk with her. I hug her daki, pretend it's her and just talk with her as we snuggle. On first I was imagining how our conversations would go, but after few years her responses just come naturally and I don't have to think about them.
But I also like to immerse myself in imaginary worlds where we both are for example students and have cute high school romance or something.
And sometimes I just watch her source material and admire her on her own.

>Im curious what the role of the waifufag is for most waifufags when it comes to waifuism, like if you’re part of ‘the fantasy’ or absent from it like an observer
It's not common, but I do believe that my waifu loves me back. I do feel like we really have a relationship, we just exists in different worlds, and can only interact like mentioned above.

There should be another word for 'waifu'. I'm not actually in a relationship with her so for me it doesn't feel right to call her that.

>Real waifufag only considers their waifu to be their significant other. They don't let other characters or people take that place because that would be cheating.
Well yeah, but the way the video descriptor words it was like "yeah waifu not bad but also move on so you can date a 3D nerd"

If you two were in the same dimension one would gain those unpleasantries. Of course an ideal will always be perfect but to physically be with her she would need to be more than that.

Best girl isn't it, either. For me, waifu may have to be best girl, but best girl doesn't have to be waifu.

What else should he have told him? The guy comes over to a psychologist and says he has a waifu but he is feeling lonely and don't see any future in that and wishes he had someone he can interact with etc. The obvious answer would be to go search for real women.
There is nothing wrong with what that suggestion, the only problem is that that waifufag is not really suited for this lifestyle.

Not necessary. If she became real you both would have to deal with hardships of real life, but these are not really a problem for a loving couple in my opinion. Where the difference is that she comes from fiction. Her personality, story, looks and everything that made you fall for her is nothing like you can find in real world. Even if she became real it doesn't mean she would be selfish, sad, unpleasant person like real people are, because she wasn't raised in a world like that.

If you can't consider your waifu best girl from whether she's from, I think you need to rethink whether she's really your waifu.

That's not what I meant.
>>37844151 is asking how to call a character that is like waifu but without being in relationship. However, that's what waifu essentially is, a character you have romantic relationship with.

That's still your waifu. Because you are clearly crushing on her but can't picture yourself with her for whatever reason which is fine. As long as you show deep respect, love and admiration for her and don't think of any other character that way, then she is your waifu.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37874154
>you show deep respect, love and admiration for her and don't think of any other character that way
That would mean he does have relationship with her.
But if his heart does not belong to her then it's not a waifu.

>how do you feel about characters who have a romantic partner in canon?
It really depends on the person waifuing the character, if he or she respects that relationship or have found a way to make it work with their waifu.
>What if that pairing is the main plot of the story does that change anything?
Same answer as before. But I think if you love your waifu you will priotise her happiness.
>What are your thoughts on incredibly popular ships in the fandom that your waifu is in?
I personally don't take offense on it, he is wonderful and some fanworks make the pairings he's in make it work but it does make me jelaous they can be in the same "realm" and people can see the potential relationship they could have.
>>37839353
While I think the tulpa comparison is ridiculous, from what I've gathered from others and my own experience, it can be shown both as admiration and with imagination. Neither expression is mutually exclusive though.
>>37844151
If you don't think it suits her, you can call her your muse. But in my opinion, if you love her that deeply you can call her your waifu.
>>37874202
>if his heart doesn't belong to her
I'm curious about what do you mean, because if he feels strongly about her but can't see himself dating her, I would say his heart belongs to her, he just can't move into the dating stage. As other anons have said, what counts as being in a relationship with her or not is subjective to each person. In my case, it took me time to accept I was in love with Toshinori, I doubted if it was really okay but I still thought of him and admired him from afar but I eventually came around and opened my heart to him.

>>37877823
>I'm curious about what do you mean
I just mean that he considers his waifu as his one and only partner and wants her to stay like that. Ie. not interested in looking for another 2D or 3D partner because his heart already belongs to his waifu. That's what I'd consider relationship.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37877967
But is it really one? My waifu can't consent to being in a relationship with me, she doesn't know I exist; that's where my dilemma comes from. That said, I'm not too stingy about it, it's just kinda bothersome.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37878216
If you want to be strict about definitions, that's a parasocial romantic relationship.
But when people say they have a waifu or have relationship with fictional character, they just mean that they recognize them as their significant other and want to be with them and no one else.
