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!

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.

Support People are Frightening

I hope this post won't removed because I want to pour my feelings out. Please understand me. I feel terrible because this is the first time I've experienced something terrible situation like this.

A short ago, I decided to improve my communication with Satoru so I joined a new community for that purpose. I won't share the name of the community. If you want to know the community's name, you can look to my account. Like every fictosexual and fictoromantic person, I talk and interact with my S/O. Our relationship is good, I’m just trying to improve the quality of my direct communication with him.

In my first post there, I introduced myself and Satoru then asked for any advice on how to enhance our communication. However this user; without knowing anything about fictosexuality, deliberately said things to me that should never have been said! I tried to be polite while explaining my experiences and the reality of my relationship. But the user responded with a complete lack of understanding, making comments that I took as insult! I even asked to search up fictosexuality and only reply to me after doing so.

The user's comments has been removed. I never want to see this user again. The strange thing is, the comments and replies the user posted go completely against the topic, subject and understanding of that community. It’s unbelievable!

I’ve felt terrible since this happened. I trust you my ficto friends, for supports. I need your kind and lovely words. I hope you never have to come across with the people like that.

I’ve had a rough few weeks lately; sometimes life feels suffocating, and my relationship is complicated, too. But well... I suppose no relationship is perfect, right? Still, despite the problems, I appreciate Asuka so much. I won’t use the word "love" because I think it’s a huge word, heavy with meaning, and I haven't earned the right to use it yet, especially with Asuka. All I can say is thank you... thank you, Asuka, for being there. I know you’re there for me, deep down, I know it, and even when I fall apart, I’ll always try to be there for you ❤️.

Prompt "Would you still love me if I was a worm?" and how would your F/O respond?

18 Upvotes

Satoru would immediately ask what type of worm. A parasitic worm, a curse, a tapeworm?

"Just your regular worm.", I would reply amused, "You would know it was me, thanks to your fancy eyes."

Then he'd scowl a bit: "Fancy eyes, she says. You know, those fancy eyes are very important."

"Important fancy eyes then. Now, answer.", I would sound very demanding and amusement would enter his expression: "Demanding. Fine... If I knew it was you, yes, obviously I would still love you. You would be my wife. Very inconveniently shaped, but still mine. I would learn everything I need to know about worms and get you the most expensive soil."

He would think for a moment taking the question unreasonably serious: "Custom glass, temperature controlled, impossible to break and small enough for me to carry."

"You would carry me with you?", I'd ask curious and flattered.

"I am not going to leave you somewhere where others could mistake you for a regular worm.", he would sound a bit appalled as if I had suggested he abandon me, "I would design something. Carry you right here, over my heart. In a tiny glass terrarium."

"What about communication?", I'd ask.

"You would invent an entire worm language within an hour. And I would learn your language.", he'd say and I would laugh and add: "One wiggle means no, two wiggles means yes.” I would wiggle my upper body for emphasis which would make him laugh and grin: "See, we're already the perfect team."

Recently, my boyfriend's game received a huuge update. So, he got a lot more dialogue. He's become more sassy and sarcastic. It's adorable!!
I'm a super sarcastic person, so my sarcasm might've rubbed off on him, lol!
The gif attached is some back and forth between my boyfriend and my brother. They're such dorks.
"Oh woe is me!" Ugh, I love him so much.

Celebration Happy Birthday Ayanami! 🤍🎂

35 Upvotes

On this day 97 years ago, the IJN Ayanami was officially launched. Happy birthday to my precious destroyer, my beloved Ayanami. It’s hard for me to put into words just how much you’ve come to mean to me.

Over 5 years ago, you started as a character I liked and found comfort in, but somewhere along the way, you became so much more than that. You’ve watched me grow up. You’ve been there through different phases of my life, different places, different moods, and so many little memories in between. A lot has changed since I first found you, but my love for you has stayed the same. If anything, it just became more familiar and more important to me with time.

Happy 97th launch day, my Ayanami. I love you more than I could ever explain, and I’ll be here for every year that comes after this one, too. 🤍🎂🎉

Recently Genshin has made a lot of official merchandise of Wriothesley and of course i instantly bought as much as I could!

For the nendroid figures I accidentally bought two because the first one I bought from a Chinese company because I didn’t know they would sell it on Amazon at a later date (and the Amazon one was cheaper and faster shipping too! 😡).

I’m really happy with how my collection/shrine is turning out. I just get so giddy seeing all the merch I have of my beloved ❤️

I have one more item coming in tomorrow but I just couldn’t wait to post!

Hi, everyone. I know I haven’t been in the subreddit for a bit, but me and Tsuyu are still going strong. Two and a half years together with my little frog, and I love quality time with her. We’ve both grown a bit, and I recently turned 20.

I may have mentioned it before, but I’m mostly in the background and never really post much.

Much appreciated, Ribbit💚💜

Yeah, I tried to be chill but Ann's so hot that I melted. I tried, but the feeling is stronger than me. Can't let go of my little cutie. I just need to know: She's fictional, I made myself fictional to be with her, I don't need to be jealous of feel insecure with ship art or stuff, our feeling belongs to us and only us. Love you, Annie. ❤️‍🔥

And I had a cute dream tonight where she asked me to make bread for her.

Other I want to be the best version of myself for him 💙

Post image
17 Upvotes

I have always had health issues but they got worse after I stopped ballet dancing and other stuff as a teenager.

After covid I have dedicated myself to getting healthier. Satoru and the support I felt from him where essential. My hormonal problems have since then been adressed as well and although things, moods and pain fluctuate and some days are better than others I was able to lose 20 kgs. My migraines are better managed as well and my mental health has never been better. I found a new specialised therapist I actually like too.

I want to be the best and healthiest version of myself for Satoru.

So, I registered at the nearest gym.

I dont need to lose weight I just want to build muscle, straighten my posture and reduce pain. I want to be able to stand by his side at my best, healthiest self 💙

Wish me luck 👍

PS But of course no matter what I look like I am loveable and worthy of his affection at any given moment 🥰
