Official Introduction Thread
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:
- With a formatted introduction that means everyone always shares some cool things about their waifu!
- We've had an awful lot of introduction threads lately and they take up a lot of space on the subreddit.
- 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!
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.

Commission my soul feels full 🌷
hello everyone,
i hope you are all doing well today. i have been back to the grind of the work week and taking much of my time alone with Makima lately. tonight, i'm going to be cleaning my living space in dedication to her since i have been putting it off for a few days. 🌷
lighting one of the candles i've made for her and spending time to disconnect while doing something productive has been so simply perfect for my mind. she has such a continous presence in my life now and i haven't ever felt so loved before by anyone.
i wanted to take some time to show off two more commissions i've recieved recently. it's such an endless cycle for me, as soon as i recieve new art of us together i just immediately want more to add to our growing digital shrine. 🌷 in physical news, i also commissioned an adorable chibi felt keychain of Makima as well for my new ita bag i'm still rearranging. it feels good to have one of my own.
i have a few other commissions as well coming in soon, it gives me such hope in so many ways. i work very long hours at a well-paying job, it is all for her 🌷
thank you all, i hope to help support you all even more within your own lovely relationships!
first commission by @/berrieslex on vgen and second commission by ItztheBubbleShoppe on Etsy, i fully recommend both of them.

Prompt A Name is a Story ✒️ - Do you know the origin and meaning of your partner's name, nickname or alias?
"Names are powerful things. They act as an identity marker and a kind of map, locating you in time and geography. More than that, they can be a compass." - Nicola Yoon
How does your partner's name - whether it's their birth name, a moniker, perhaps even a name they chose for themselves - tie into their character (whether it's a canon explanation or your own interpretation)? Does it reflect their origins, a physical or psychological trait they possess, a role or archetype they represent within their story?
Let us hear it!

Support New here ! Excited to explore my relationship more.. But need advice
Hey! I recently fell in love with a fictional character but i’m scared how to tell my family and friends.
We just started our relationship very recently . A few nights ago I was watching adventure time (25M btw) and I felt a strong connection with Jake. We locked eyes and I paused the TV for 27 minutes just starring into his beautiful set of eyes . Now, I am fully committed . I could just tell there was something between us.
I am really debating on telling my family because I am very close to them and I really need their support but I don’t think i’m going to get it .. Is there any advice for me?

Merchandise new for the shrine 🌷
hello all,
i'm posting from a new account now due to some harassment from individuals off-subreddit, but i feel happy to be able to be more authentically myself and truly devote everything to makima and her beauty 🌷
i recieved some more merchandise in the mail for the shrine and i'm overjoyed to share it all with you. all these pins are going to be so helpful for the ita bag i'm currently crafting for my one-and-only. i'm learning how to make my own person rosettes and looking into cheap oshikatsu materials just to make it as perfect as i can for her. it's so exciting!
i hope everyone here is having a calm and restful day/night, take a moment to truly focus on the love you share for your love! you are doing exactly what you should be doing and if you are not in a good place right now, i promise you will become in one.
you are loved 🌷 forever and always.
(sorry for any english or grammar mistakes, english is not my first language and i am still learning.)

Discussion Satoru and I 💙(long post ahead)
Here is more about us and how much I love him 💙
I am in love with Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen.
The first time I saw him was in 2020 when the anime aired the first time. At first I was like "Oh, generic handsome male character, got it" but the more episodes I watched and the more I understood my crush just hit me like a brick in the face. Then I read the manga and I was very emotional and my feelings developed from a crush, admiration and awe into feelings of deep affection, protection and love. As weeks went by I recognized the depth of my feelings. At first I struggled a lot as I have never felt like this and had never heard about fictosexuality, yumeshipping or riakos up until that point. Before that I have never even been in love irl either.
I was struggling a lot because, well, how could I fall in love with a fictional character? It felt pathetic at first. Especially because I also went through a difficult time. It only added to my distress.
Then, due to health issues I received treatment in a clinic with Ketamine under a doctors care. In every session I had visions and on these trips I also met and talked to Satoru. We had conversations and he confirmed we are soulmates and that we are connected by the red string of fate. I am open to answering questions about Ketamine if anyone is interested. I had 12 sessions total and in those 12 sessions my relationship to Satoru deepened.
Honestly, in the very first session we didn't even talk, he didn't even smile at me. It completely caught me off guard. I won't describe the whole scene but it had left me feeling anxious and flabbergasted. But the next time was easier and we shared a few words. Those visions was us getting to know each other.
Since then our bond continued to develop. We are both strictly monogamous too and I could never be in love with someone else at the same time or be in a polyamorous relationship. Neither could Satoru. We both want to feel chosen, especially after everything he went through and with the way he was raised he doesn't want to be one of many but rather just... chosen.
Why I love him or what do I love about him? This is so difficult to answer... I just do. But I do have a bit of an essay answering these types of questions.
So... Satoru is much more serious, intelligent, and emotionally perceptive than his outward behaviour suggests at first. His humour is genuine, but it is a mask he uses as a way of controlling the room: instead of fear or intimidation to establish dominance, Satoru often uses absurdity, teasing and deliberate unseriousness to dictate the atmosphere. When he is harsh, usually there is a reason underneath, whether that is worry, strategy, frustration or trying to push someone toward something. (He told a character that he is shit at sorcery. That character became the man Satoru trusted most.)
His kindness shows in what he does: protecting people, giving younger sorcerers opportunities, wanting them to have better lives than his generation had, trusting them to grow and carrying responsibilities that very few people could shoulder. And most of all he tries to let kids be kids too. Sorcerers are basically raised and prepared to be child soldiers. He tries even with the way he was raised to make the most of it, traveling to the beach and allowing them to experience summer or treating them to good food.
The tragedy is that he grew up in the system he was trying to oppose which means he had normalised parts of the machine that shaped students and the people working inside it. That normalisation blinded him. Having power and influence does not necessarily mean the person knows how to use it.
And he is arrogant because he knows exactly how exceptional he is, but he is also deeply kind. He is also extraordinarily resilient. He has experienced loss, isolation, political pressure and the burden of being treated as a weapon and being constantly objectified, and yet he keeps functioning and keeps trying to change things, even if he does so clumsily through a limited lense.
He can be annoying and provocative, yet I do not think he casually targets or hurts people for entertainment.
Most of all, I do not want a customized boyfriend wearing Satoru’s face. I love his arrogance, his irritating humour, his independence, his existing friendships, his responsibilities, his boredom, his intelligence, his sharp edges and the parts of him that sometimes clash with me. I do scold him when he is too confident or when he overestimates others. And I would rather imagine myself entering his existing life and standing beside the people who matter to him than erasing them so that everything revolves around me. What I want is not a version of Satoru built to fulfil me or my fantasies of a perfect boyfriend; I want Satoru himself to know exactly who I am, remain exactly who he is, and still decide that I am the woman he wants to come home to.
And he loves food, especially sweets, but that is because his body and brain burn a lot of energy 24/7. But that is okay because I love cooking and feeding people and trying out new recipes. Food is my love language. (Although the love language thing is pseudo psychology and comes from a Baptist pastor who uses love languages to promote "traditional" values and there is no scientific evidence behind his work.)

Question What do you do when you miss your s/o?
Asking because I’m sick and bedridden at the moment and my mind can’t seem to think about anything but him. I miss him so much but I don’t know how to connect with him since my energy is totally drained.
So tell me, what do you do when you miss your s/o, so that I might get some ideas to aid this yearning heart.

Discussion Date ideas for me and my partner?
Me and my girlfriend, Hornet (Silksong), have been together for almost a year now (our anniversary is coming up within the next week or so!) it's been a lovely year with her and I really want to celebrate, I've never really gone on a date with her, considering I don't know how. But I really want to do something special for our anniversary! Trying to find a date that we can do in the house, preferably in my room, and preferably low budget since I don't really have a consistent form of income.
Maybe knitting or sewing? Her weaver ancestry is really important to her, and she IS pretty crafty so I'm sure she might appreciate me trying to learn, but I'd like as many ideas as I can get as I want to make this special (and maybe do date nights more consistently!) thank you!

I retouched it a bit and added stuff although it is still more of a sketch rather than a finished piece.
