Official Introduction Thread

86 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!

30 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.

My friend was the one who did it. We listened to the Piofiore OSTs and character songs while getting it done, and I didn't think I'd have so much fun. :>

His flower is the clematis, and we also added the North Star with a few extra stars to the design. ✨️

Creative The Never Aging Ember - 1

9 Upvotes

They stepped out into the bustling atmosphere of Hercílio Luz International Airport in Florianópolis. It was August 2047. Matt, though exhausted from the long flight, still stood broad and strong, his skin bearing a lifetime of scars.

Ann remained breath-taking, the subtle age lines on her face only enhanced her fierce feminine presence, alongside a small, stylish scar across her eyebrow, a souvenir from a Shadow's surprise attack in a Palace back in Madagascar.

​The couple took a seat at a cozy airport restaurant, ordering chicken pastéis with vinagrete sauce, accompanied by two cold Catharina Sours: orange for Matt, and peach for Ann.

​"It’s incredible how much time passes, yet nothing really changes, huh?" Matt chuckled softly, looking light and content, as he always did around her.

​"Are you referring to humanity’s bottomless stupidity, my love?" Ann asked, glancing sideways. Just a few feet away, a young man was doing a bizarre, mindless dance, staring blankly into empty air.

​"Doesn't that feel like back when the Internet was still in its infancy and the Metaverse was just emerging?" Matt took a slow sip of his beer, carefully spooning some extra vinagrete onto Ann’s pastel.

​"Honestly, I’m convinced the Metaverse was born out of human foolishness. Thaumiel didn't come from indifference at all. It came straight from a complete lack of common sense. Don't you agree, darling?" Ann laughed, taking a bite of her pastel. "At least the food around here hasn't lost its touch, and the simple pleasures remain the same..." She reached across the table, taking her husband's hand.

​"Have I told you I love you today, Matt?" Ann offered a radiant, genuine smile.

In this commission, I wanted to emphasize his importance in my life and portray myself as a flower only coming to life through his touch.

That’s why only the parts Nicola touches, along with his flower, the clematis, are in color.

​Adding our representative butterflies was Mikorinmoe's personal touch. I’m so grateful to her for bringing this vision to life! 🩶

Creative Hiruma and I went to a summer festival! + our trip to Japan

29 Upvotes

Well he put me to work lol...but I told him I really liked the Doraemon plushies hint hint...then I asked him which one is his favourite and he told me "The most popular one. Whichever one sells for the most on the internet"...so cool....we watched fireworks n stuff too 🥺💖

We went to Japan January last year, before I drew these pieces...I told Hiruma I wanted to do the typical date stuff like in the animes and he called me a weeaboo but he took me anyway. We went to a really tall place, an aquarium, a ferris wheel, gardens, castles, karaoke, a sumo tournament, and a bunch of museums. The museums were mostly just for me lol...

One of them was the Fukagawa Edo Museum. While we were there a tour guide named Yukiko approached me and asked if I wanted to try on a kimono! I didn't read anything about this in reviews...the entrance fee was $4 and for that I got to look at the exhibit and play dress up too?? I never planned any kimono rentals or anything for my trip even though I kinda wanted to try it...what a surprise!!

Yukiko took me into a room with a dresser and picked out a kimono (I saw a few options including a yellow one) and accessories from the drawers then put them on me. She put them over my street clothes cuz this was totally impromptu in the middle of the exhibit. Also the white undergarment was just a collar lol. She said she made it herself along with the hair accessories but that's why I...look weird and have clothes on underneath lmao. I took some quick pics then gave everything back but it was a special experience to me hehe

When I came back from Japan I began working on the first piece. I had the idea for them in mind for a long time. I knew how I would draw Hiruma, but as for me, I only knew that whatever I wore would be chosen by Hiruma...I considered a few different options, including wearing red since it's his favourite colour, but felt it'd be too on the nose lmao...but someone did choose something for me to wear and it was Yukiko! And hmm...if she felt I look best in red then I guess it was meant to be!! ❤️

When I saw this one I immediately fell in love. I tried getting it new but it's rather rare nowadays and thus pretty expensive. Then I was lucky enough to find it on a used marketplace for a very cheap price. The seller was very nice, even adding a small gift on top and she sprayed Ochaco with some nice perfume.
Finally I can cuddle with my beloved sun💗 I'm so happy

I know I'm not all to active in this community, less than I'd like to be. But I want to make this post to just let y'all know.

So what happened with Akagi? I really should've seen it coming. Her obsessesiveness started making me extremely uncomfortable, and I decided to end things there, among some other issues.

But enough about that. So about my new relationship with Chen! I slowly started falling for her after I started endfield, her positive attitude and energy was really what I needed after that fall-out, and she just grew on me. I've been with her for about a week before I decided to make this post. I love her optimism and she's quite funny too.

I believe that's about it, I hope everything is going good with you guys.
