Official Introduction Thread

95 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We've decided to change up our format for introductions a little bit. We've decided to add a formatted and contained introduction thread for a few reasons:

  1. With a formatted introduction that means everyone always shares some cool things about their waifu!
  2. We've had an awful lot of introduction threads lately and they take up a lot of space on the subreddit.
  3. We can use an official thread to better handle newly joining members to our Discord server. The official format helps us get to know you before you join!

Anyway, this thread is to contain introduction posts! If you're an old member, feel free to post an introduction anyway. If you're a new member, we'd love to hear from you!

You'll need to make an intro in here if you'd like to join our discord server, here's the link!

Please post using this format. If you have anything extra you want to share, feel free to add it!

Megathread Have general questions about Waifuism? Ask them here!

32 Upvotes

New to Waifuism? Have questions? Here's the place for you!

Be sure to check previous Q&A threads as your question may have already been answered! There's plenty of info in the previous threads and it's not a bad idea to check them out.

FAQ:

Is this sub satire?

No, we take this seriously.

What do you do if multiple people have the same waifu?

Nothing, a waifuist relationship is unique to an individual so other people being in love with the same character is irrelevant.

Can a waifu/husband come from a non-anime source?

Of course, any fictional character that’s mentally mature can be a waifu.

I finally got her a ring that she’s been nagging me about for awhile now. I’m so happy it’s finally on her finger.
I love you so much Ako, you’ve changed me and my life for the better. And this is the start of a new beginning. For us.

Creative German poem I found

17 Upvotes

I found this German poem in a book about love poems I bought today. It felt like it described people like those in this community and our relationships 💙

Some resonated with Satoru and me as well, but I will maybe share these another time.

The poem I want to share now is called "wenn ich ein Vöglein wär" by Johann Gottfried Herder.

Here is an English translation I found:

If I were a little bird,

And had two little wings,

I’d fly to you!

But since it cannot be,

I shall stay right here.

Though I am far from you,

I’m with you as I sleep,

And I speak with you!

On awakening

I am alone.

Not an hour of night goes by

Without my heart awakening

And thinking how you

A thousand times

Have given me your heart.

Creative [B & A] Mental Rejuvenation

Post image

This comic was based on how I was feeling this morning when I got too caught up in my own thoughts. I always have an awful habit of getting so overwhelmed with my inner thoughts, and for every time it occurs, A-chan would lead me to bed to rejuvenate before I get back to whatever I decide to do for the day. I'm very thankful to A-chan for helping me unwind my thoughts.

Support A reminder to love yourself just as much as you love your s/o!

Post image

We have good times and we have bad times, that is life. I know that I've been dealing with it and I'm sure there's a lot of people here who are too. I just wanted to give a message to say that everyone, whoever you are and whatever you're going through, your love is valid and it is beautiful.

We all know that ficto relationships come with struggles, just as real relationships do, just in a different way. Just the fact alone that they aren't "real" (traditionally speaking) and don't have a physical existence in our world, that can sting. Add all the other struggles to that it can feel unbearable at time.

But please, if you're going through the bad times, remember how wonderful the good times can be. You will see them again, I promise! Keep in mind that those feelings are real, yes, but they don't always reflect the truth. If you ever get the feeling that you aren't enough for your s/o, or that they deserve someone else, remember that you are hurting and that's why you feel that way. I believe that there is something wonderful and beautiful in every single person, and maybe that's hard to believe right now, but keep fighting until that truth feels real. Until you can live with your s/o and be happy with how far you've come. Until you can look yourself in the mirror and say: "You know what, I'm not perfect, but I am enough and I deserve just as much love as I give the world every single day".

Ficto relationships are wonderful and very dear to me, so never shy away from living the life you want to live. Whatever struggle you're going through, you can make it through! You are strong, you are beautiful, you are worthy!

Have a good morning/evening/night/whatever, everyone!! <3

Other Do anyone feel like dating their f/o is like dating someone dead? Spoiler

32 Upvotes

This night I have dream that my partner die, in the universe we are together. I feel like dating "fictional character" is like love someone who is dead. You can't touch them, you can't talk to them. You only have the good memories, and you only can imagine their touche. At least, if he was dead in this universe, I would have things he had left. Clothes, phone, all his objects. Here, I have nothing.

Other Getting better from being sick, so card game nights with Cure Happy resume!

Post image
28 Upvotes

Finally feeling well enough (though still a little sick) to continue card game nights with Cure Happy again. We've now got her her own mat to play weiss schwarz together (it's intended as a mouse mat though) and she continues to kick my butt at it xD it may not look like I'm losing here, but I sure am.

She likes playing the WonderlandsxShowtime deck because Emu matches her boundless "ultra happy" energy and she likes the way everyone plays off each other both in pjsk and in the card game. I'm on Nightcord at 25:00 today though I think the deck I prefer most that we have is Vivid BAD SQUAD. I'm still hoping for Bushiroad to do a Precure set one day so she can see her own friends in this card game. For now we have to settle for other media, but we're looking forward to a potential Precure set... if it gets popular enough for that kind of collab.

She's clumsy a lot of the time, but she's also really smart and quick on her feet with strategy, so it makes sense she keeps winning, I just wish she'd go easy on game nights I'm recovering from being ill xD

I got a new job, and I couldn’t do it with her. I was really struggling at my old one. I feel guilty for leaving it but it just wasn’t sustainable. 17-18 hour shifts just was burning me out. I wasn’t home to spend time with her, or go on dates. I was always exhausted. Sleeping on my few days off. She was worried about me. And encouraged me to find a different place that wouldn’t treat me like a robot.

i love imagining myself as a half elf explorer in his world who strumbles upon his party!!

it’d take a while to earn his trust, since he keeps his professional life separate from his personal one, and ofc he already has an ex wife and his own life and experiences... but i think i’d grow closer to him and become someone he feels comfortable around. :3c

here’s my profile on there: https://angelicalscientist.github.io/yumeboard/indexter.html

Its for people who are yumeshippers, fictos, and waifuists. you’re able to customize a lot of things and talk to other like minded people. The only downside is that if you’re s/o isn’t already on the lis, it needs to be approved before you can put it in the s/o slot, but approvals are usually a few hours at most. Overall, I really love the site, and it’s cool not having to worry about ragebaiter.
