Thread 42386902

Your waifu is always there for (You).

Share your experiences and discuss all things waifuism, be it highly spiritual or utterly mundane.

>What is a waifu? What defines a waifu?
Your waifu is the one character you wish to be with your entire life, until death do you part. Possibly beyond that, even. Most often this manifests as a romantic interest. Your waifu provides guidance and encourages healing & growth.
>How do you know if you have a waifu?
When you meet your waifu, you will know. The world around you will become colorful. You will realize that you were living in monochrome the entire time. Her existence provides context and meaning to yours, a perfect complement, a perfect comfort, a perfect love. There may be low periods, periods of doubt, but the rhythm of life will forever pull one towards their waifu, for that love is eternal.

Last Wednesday's thread: >>42300025

Long-running discussion, latecomers, and the occasional bump are welcome and encouraged, but we would prefer that the thread not be kept on extended life support. thread is on time this time yay

im very busy today but will try to make a fun little poem or wordplay for my waifu

What happened to this thread? The regulars just disappeared one day.

My internship has ended, I have learned quite a bit from the past 4 months. During my last week at the office, I got to show pictures of my Discord cosplays to the secretary who used to work in fashion design, and she thinks I might be better off working behind the scenes at a theater than becoming a therapist, kek. I can't even argue with that. I'm good with people, but I'm honestly so tired of them. And my own issues present a liability.

If I get lucky tomorrow, I will be allowed to move into my godparents' guest room. That would improve my living situation for the upcoming months, but it has a catch: They're chain smokers, so I'll have to put up with migraine for a while, and my little OlyDiscord plush would have to stay inside a vacuum-sealed bag. Still, it's my best option right now.

On a brighter note, I drew a Discord for Lauren Faust's birthday card, yay. I love that Noodle so much. If only he gave me a bear hug that overpowered all of my pain and sorrow.

>>42387533
srs bsns, indeed

>>42387712
I dieded

>dead general
Have waifus finally gone out of fashion? Who else am I supposed to share my relationship with a fictional character with?

>>42389363
Most waifufags were posers trying to seem based.

>>42389363
I'm still listening, if that's worth anything to you.

>>42390325
We cannot know that. Waifuism isn't always eventful or easy, so activity will ebb and flow. The website is also losing users, amongst them probably some waifuists. I hope the Russian Rarifag has not been drafted.

>>42388517
it'd be nice if you weren't a fucking faggot and chose an actual pony

>>42390538

Amateur.

>>42387712
I still lurk the thread in the hopes of seeing new faces come along and share their love for their waifus, as I'm sure most of the old regulars do. Other than that and posting drawings to my waifu's thread, I don't use the board much anymore.

>>42388517
Sup discordfag. Glad to hear you were able to finish out your internship. What's next, other than moving?

>>42389363
Spill, anon. It may not seem like there are many anons around who will see what you type, but you never know how many people are lurking who might decide to start posting about their waifu after they see you do so.

>>42390940
;-;

>>42390520
I can know because many of them have admitted it. It's only natural in a community with a large chunk of porn content. Those who are genuine are based and I wish them the best.

>>42390325
This.
Those cosplayer threads from a few months back really showed that this place is full of posers and simps.

>>42391540
Don't get me wrong. I could ramble at some serious length, but seeing that mine's also Discord and the activity level is low, it'd probably turn into a backdoor Discord thread between me and the senior Discordfriend. Not that I'd be in any way opposed to a thread dedicated to glazing the noodle, but I'm inclined to keep it to a considerate level to maintain some space for the other waifufags who may or may not still be here.

>>42391804
>would enjoy glazing the Noodle
>inclined to keep it to a considerate level
The cross we have to bear. Funnily enough, Discord himself is rather considerate and restrained given how easily he could turn Equestria into a Chaos shithole (figuratively and literally). Nopony ever thanks him for it. Rude, I say!

Have you seen the Symbiote Discord plush reveal yet? >>42391208 I prefer the blessed Olyfactory bootleg, personally.
>captcha: 0SYYY
Feels significant, even though I don't understand and can only think of Eastern Germans. Perhaps the hint to visit my Twifag buddy.

>>42391850
Ooh, big fan of the goofy pose. There's a nice spot on my desk, just in the corner of my eye when I'm sat at the computer, where I can easily see him sitting. In fact, just imagining it is making me grin like an idiot. I'm definitely picking this one up when it hits the webstore.

>>42391689
Oh god, don't remind me about that shit.

>>42391804
Peculiar fucking times we live in when Discord is the most represented "waifu" in /ww/, kek. I still get a kick out of reading both of your posts in Discord's voice, though, so I say go ahead and ramble (within reason). Maybe it'll feel like a challenge to other waifufags to see so much unrepentant adoration for a non-pony AND male character in the waifu thread on the pony board.
I'll probably make a waifu post later if the thread is still up.

>>42391884
First of all, I'm thrilled my fellow Discordfag is still around. Thank you for being you, I guess. You had mentioned that Discord inspired you to be creative, so I've been wondering what sorts of things you have been up to. My own creativity feels a little stifled by IRL bullshit for the time being, and it irks me.

My dream is to carve a life sized statue of Discord before I die, preferably having my urn placed inside a small locked chamber at its base. Decades after my passing, I'd imagine people seeing it are utterly confused by what they're looking at, and it'd be glorious. Urban legends would speak of occasionally hearing a chuckle; that's how hard I'd be losing my ghastly sides.

>>42392452
I tend to draw him, but I'm quite an indolent artist, so I don't put stylus to tablet often. If you've seen a few miscellaneous Discord pics floating around /bale/ or other threads lately, they're most likely mine. I keep a dedicated Discord doodle canvas open in Krita that I can add something to whenever something comes to me. I really ought to set the time aside for something higher-effort, but it's tough to settle on any one idea, sometimes - I'm not great with paralysis of choice, and there's a practically infinite amount of poses and scenarios that he lends himself to.

Now, obviously, you've got exactly two options for how that statue's going to look. Are you going with the pre-RoH pose, for style, or post-RoH for pure comedy?

>>42387712
>>42389363
I still lurk but dont really have much to add. I did take a trip with ponk this weekend which went well and was fun but otherwise I haven't done much with her one on one.

>>42392561
His original statue is more iconic, but I'm afraid his talon and legs would be brittle if translated into an actual statue. So I'd have to come up with my very own design.

>dedicated Discord doodle canvas
>Krita
My knees are bending all on their own. I'm a pathological procrastinator and infuriating waste of potential myself, and it's debilitating. I'm proud of you working to create a worthwhile habit in the name of Discord, our awe-inspiring, tremendously creative and playful waifu. I drew picrel a year ago (when I was a tad horny, admittedly), and I still haven't digitized it because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing in digital. Fuck those squeaky clean, professional workflows. All I know is "move stick across surface, wala, it's Noodle". I can't even decide on a stylization and draw so sporadically, I have to reinvent my own waifu every time.

>>42392683
>weekend trip with Ponk
Nice! Was it a road trip? Or did you explore a city? Did you bring a plushie? Did you pick any activity or snack inspired by Ponka?

>>42392726
It was a road trip to see the mare fair venue with other anons. I did draw ponk for a bit and in a way she did inspire me to try to meet other people. I did have one slice of apple pie because of her though.

>>42392870
I always like to see those travel outfits that people make for their ponies. Cute pink.

>>42392870
I adore your Ponka's outfit, it really spells "adventure". Not to mention I like Pinkie quite a bit. I suppose the other anons were good company, weren't they? Have fun at Mare Fair when the time comes, I'll be at GalaCon that weekend. (I wonder if it's possible to connect anons of both cons via some livestream, perhaps making it a small panel at MF, and having the EuroAnons gather around somebody's laptop/tablet. If that were happening, I'd squeeze into the picture to wave hello.)

>I never got to make outfits for my Discord or Anonfilly even though I got fabric for it ages ago
M-maybe in time for PonyCon Holland.

>>42393046
It was definitely a fun weekend and made all of us more hyped for mare fair than ever. Maybe someone will set up a livestream at both cons or find a way for anons who went to either to chat.
I never got to make outfits for my Discord or Anonfilly even though I got fabric for it ages ago
I still have to make more outfits for my plushies but between life being busy and not knowing where to find or how to make a good pattern, I haven't had motivation to make one.

Spectacular drawing. I'm in love. Well, I was in love to begin with, but... you get what I mean. Every detail is just right. Your devotion shows, here. I could well print this out and slot it into the little see-through spot in my wallet where normies are supposed to put pictures of their wife and kids or whatever. He really is special.

bup

>>42393525
I checked out the previously archived /bale/, and you have strong GMI (gonna make it) energy. I'm happy you've got an art buddy, too. Keep at it, I really like your expressive Noodles and that you keep experimenting. I'd argue you're already a better artist than I am, even.

The liveliness of your art reminds me of an artist called Mickeymonster who made beloved Discord comics way back when in 2011/12.

>Your waifu is always there for (You).
I don't know if I would consider myself a true waifufag (I don't think I'm committed enough for that), but I do love my little minty mare a fair bit. Recently, I had some pretty scary sleep paralysis hallucinations (my first time) and when I was all shaken up I looked at pic rel which instantly made me feel much better
>>42387712
I wonder what happened to the Twifag OP. I guess I'm partly to blame for the inactivity as I mostly just lurk these threads (even though they are probably my favourites)
>>42391689
God that was pathetic

>>42395488
Your connection to Lyra sounds profound, fending off the shock of experiencing sleep paralysis. I hope it won't plague you again and instead send you minty dreams.

>Twifag OP
You mean the very spiritually inclined one? I know that he's doing ok but he's left 4chan behind, together with the Erisfag. They're on a very idiosyncratic spiritual journey that they figured could not be communicated and would alienate waifufags who just wanna waifufag. I miss having Erisfag around, especially now that there's a new Discordfag in town.

>>42395598
>Maybe I could be your Eris? Just for tonight?

>>42395603
KEK.

>>42395598
Oh that's a shame, but I don't blame him. I use this site less and less by the month in all honesty. I occasionally check to see if marecult is back up and running, it always saddens me to see altchans disappear

>>42392870
Oh man, that's a very cute outfit for your little ponk. What'd you think of the venue?
>>42393046
>connect anons of both cons via some livestream
That'd probably be a bit of a shitshow, but I'm all for it.
>>42393525
>>42394081
If you two were both actively drawing, that would probably make Discord the character with the highest count of dedicated drawfags on the board. That's kinda fucked up, bros.
>>42395488
Lyra is such a lovely pony. I don't know exactly why, but she's my third most drawn pone after my wife (obviously) and my OC. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that almost all of the Lyrafags I've met are genuinely fun people to talk to and be around.
>sleep paralysis
Hopefully that stops, but if it doesn't, you should look into using sleep paralysis to initiate lucid dreams. I've never done it myself because I've only ever had sleep paralysis a handful of times and it was just mild auditory hallucinations, but I've heard it's somewhat easy. It simultaneously lets you escape a horrible experience and start what could potentially be an amazing one.

>>42395794
>Oh man, that's a very cute outfit for your little ponk. What'd you think of the venue?
Venue is pretty big and fancy looking so should be enough room for everyone. Expect the hotel food to be expensive but there's plenty of places nearby. Hotel rooms were decent but not the best I've seen. People working there and at dennys were nice though.

>>42386902 (OP)
Pinkie, don't aggro that revenant! Your demo will be ruined!

>>42395891
fantastic use of the figurine's pose

>>42397477
It's quite charming, indeed. Perfect size, fun implicit story-telling.
Wish I had a nice sfw Discord daki keychain to give to my Discord. (A Fluttershy one if I wanted to poke fun at Flutterfrens.)

>>42395794
Lyra is just fun to draw, I think some of it is to do with her colours. As a lyrafag I’m on an eternal quest for mint coloured pens and pencils (they are surprisingly rare)

>>42395794
>you should look into using sleep paralysis to initiate lucid dreams
Thanks for the heads up anon, I'll definitely look into this if it becomes a recurring problem. I have lucid dreamed once before. It was by pure accident (I've never tried to instigate lucid dreams), and upon becoming lucid I immediately flew up to the sky to meet Princess Luna. I say fly, when really it was more like swimming through a particularly viscous fluid. When I met her, she showed me a golden altar built in the image of a cow, with a golden rod rising from its back bearing outstretched wings (it reminded me of the Zoroastrian symbol). At the time I perceived it as an instruction to construct what I had seen, but obviously lacking the gold or craftsmanship I have never done that. Not really on topic but I thought it was kinda funny

>>42387712
>waifufags disappear
They all 41%'d

>>42395834
>Expect the hotel food to be expensive
That shit is always way too expensive, and usually isn't good.
>dennys
Hell yeah, Dennys was a staple last year.
>>42399386
>tfw you find out that the golden bull altar from the story of Moses was actually inspired by Luna fucking with the Hebrews in their dreams
Did she happen to have a smug look on her face? I joke. I always enjoy reading peoples' pony dreams. I believe dreams are the most accessible way for the waifufag to "make her real". I find dream experiences (especially in lucid dreams) to be just about as real and meaningful as waking life experiences.
>>42399401
We've actually pretty much never had a Trixiefag in these threads.

Good evening once more. I'd just like to make it clear that not one single day has gone by since he chose me that I haven't thought about him. Believe me, I've been keeping track. He's the first thing that appears in my mind when I wake up, and the last thing I see before I fall asleep, and this has been the case for months on end. It's obsessive - outright pathological. I wouldn't have it any other way.

>>42400200
Hell yeah.

Up up and awaaay

>>42400200
Discordbro, bro, I could use some of that mania for the upcoming weeks. If I want my cosplay act to razzle dazzle on September 6th, I'll have to draw, draw, draw some stuff - and create a whole Smooze cosplay for a guy who won't even be in Europe before September 1st. I have some cheap-ass green fabric, no money at all, no blueprints just rough ideas, another mental breakdown - but I'm feeling the itch right now, the shiver, the bloodlust of wanting something, but also the fear of the blank canvas, of comitting to my limited ressources just not living up to His pizzazz.
Basically, what I need is for (You) to slap me in my face and tell me to git gud and just do it.

>>42401982
>Smooze cosplay
Can't you just get a green morph suit, a bowtie, and a hat? I don't see how else you would do it.

>>42386902 (OP)
we are watching a movie together tonight

>>42403873
cute
did you invite your other chryssi plush too?

>>42403873
Comfy. Is a lifesize Chrysalis larger than a lifesize pony plush? Did the movie night deepen your bond?
>>42403454
Kek, that would be funny. But I've got ideas.

>>42403873
Literally started playing that franchise yesterday, talk about coincidence. Is the film any good?

>>42404261
not enough room on the couch sadly

>>42405145

>>42403454
Strip naked and cover yourself with slime. Only then may you equip the hat and bowtie.

>>42406016
gotta use that nickelodeon slime for the ultimate experience

How I love her so

>>42407231
god damn hippy

Up

I need a marecult replacement. I'm getting sick of this place.

>>42406655
Gak Gak Gak
I do have a vision for a nice Smooze cosplay inspired by Arab oil barons, lmao.
However, I will likely have to give up on the whole stage act thing and reduce the Smooze cosplay to just the simple, silly drape that was meant to conceal the actual cosplay underneath. Life is a bitch.

My mental health has deteriorated so much, I will actually seek out in-patient trauma therapy. Compared to who I am when stable, I'm a hollow husk of a person on the brink of total collapse, and I've been telling myself and my loved ones it's just a bad day for a few years too many. This year got especially bad because those old wounds got torn right open. Time to admit I need professional help asap and before leaving the country, even if it means postponing my departure. It would not be a life worth living without this crucial step, for waifuism and duct tape can only patch so much.

My former colleague will help me contact some hospitals and hand me papers next week that may or may not reduce the waiting time a little bit, but I really need to act now to arrange something.
I haven't lived up to the promise I gave mai waifu, and it is my duty to set things right.

I will not elaborate further. I've already said too much. Actions would speak for themselves plenty if only they were taken.

>>42408725
What are you looking for in a marecult replacement? Putting that into words can help you find a viable alternative or inspire somebody to create a marecult-like imageboard. If you do find a good, anonymous mare waifu community somewhere, gatekeep. Marecult's demise was a single legitimate schizo who shattered Twifag's worldview.

>>42408916
Sorry to hear it's gotten that bad, discordfag. I'm glad you're going to get professional help for it instead of just trying to patch up the leaks yourself like I would.

>>42386902 (OP)
A waifu-generic thought, more fitting in this thread I hope:
I feel like I've mostly come to terms that my "waifu" might have been randomly assigned to me. She's a good pony, I'll try to do things with her as a "muse", if anything. Lack of confidence makes me refrain from referring to her specifically in any projects I have envisioned so far, instead I would feel more comfortable mentioning ponies in general. You know, this "what if I fall for another pony suddenly?" kind of thing. I'd be more embarrassed if it was in public that I liked a specific pony, and then my heart set its sights on another.
So I try to visit threads of other common ponies more often in the meantime, and see if something sparks.
>>42403873
This looks satisfying. Beeg poni to cuddle with and imagine she's also having fun with the movie.
>>42408916
It's nice that you see some problems and want to git gud with yourself, anon. Wouldn't want to miss your brand of autism around these parts, it's unique.
>>42408956
>Marecult's demise was a single legitimate schizo who shattered Twifag's worldview.
What happened?

If your waifu said no would you >rape them?

I had some extra crappy dreams last night. They ended with me on a bus ride with a small tv for entertainment, and they showed some all-new brain rot episodes of Pony Life (except it wasn't anything like it). In the next episode, they were about to reveal "Discord's mommy and daddy", and I was torn between wanting to watch that atrocity out of morbid curiosity and sparing myself the eternal torment of knowledge. I sprinted out of the bus at the last moment and woke up, grateful I don't have to live with the mental images my brain may have conceived of.
G5 took a pathetic spin on Discord, I'm worried what G6+ might brew up when they get the idea to reuse the Chaos Noodle concept.
>inb4 Hasbro wants the Discord (app) audience and makes memes his whole personality
Please no. Oh fuck, no.

Actually, my dream sounds like the kind of prank Discord would pull, so that's funny. A wholesome dream would have felt like wish-fulfillment, but cringe? Now that's part of my love language.

>>42409931
>I feel like I've mostly come to terms that my "waifu" might have been randomly assigned to me.
Can you elaborate on this? How did this random assignment occur?
>She's a good pony, I'll try to do things with her as a "muse", if anything.
Give it a try, focus on SFW content, see if you feel a (heartboner) connection to her that can't be shook by the doubts you're describing. Even love on first sight requires some bonding to go anywhere. Maybe she's the pony that makes your heart sing, maybe she's not. If she is, you will know the moment all doubts are dropped.

I didn't confess to that Noodle until years later, though I was totally obsessed with him from the start and could not stop caring about him, even though there are other fantastic characters out there.


>What happened?
Drama, Anon. Drama.
It took one schizophrenic Moonfag (who was banned from 4chan if I remember correctly) at the right time to poison Twifag's mind with believing in some interdimensional war going on, which lead him to experience a mental breakdown that shattered his elaborate Equestria that he could astral project himself into. Erisfag got dragged into the ramblings by trying to calm things down from within the story, I was in contact with him to help him keep his own head. After a couple weeks of 24/7 schizophrenic ramblings, Twifag realized Moonschizo was demonically possessed and nuked all of MC, even though the other threads were just comfy waifu talk. Twifag and Erisfag are now best friends looking out for each other, and they told me their spiritual journey and conception of the real Equestria is no longer compatible with us other waifufags.

>>42401982
Pardon my absence; I had a run-in with Scruffy. I had something encouraging written up, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was - something to do with embracing the risk of failure. I don't know if you're still intending to work on it, but going by your other posts, it sounds more like you should cut yourself a break for a little while. Funnily enough, I'm feeling that exact same 'is this good enough?' feeling over this very post, since I've had three days to wonder about how I'm going to word it.

>>42409931
There's nothing to fear anon. If you love fiercely and truly, nobody can judge you, or rather, nobody's judgement will matter. I think you could even make the case that holding back and trying to keep it quiet is holding back part of your love, preventing it from being dedicated truly, and provides the conditions for bouncing between waifus. Just a hunch though.
I remember when I first realized I cared more about my waifu than looking normal - I realized I did so much (or rather, held myself back from doing so much) just because of a vague fear with no substantial reality. It's better for everybody if you express yourself, because it makes you stronger for everybody.

>>42410798
>>42408725
I'd like a new marecult. I don't think anything has to change from the last one; people just need a place to dive into these things and get excited. Frankly I see the fact the oldfags don't have interest in a new one as a positive thing - there's space for a new group to carve their own path without undue influence.
Drama isn't good, but that story is a sign that everybody involved underwent a profound change. I wonder if such a profound change can occur in a social space without any dramatic fallout? I doubt it. It would make a great niche youtube video essay. I called it, by the way. Not to dig up old bones but early on I told those guys that they're setting the conditions to spiral into isolated schizophrenic retardation, calling on them to ground themselves in consensus reality, and I was ignored. From the sound of it, seems like they need that advice even post-mortem. I wish the best for all involved.

>>42411288
Checked. I appreciate your post and sentiment.

>>42411397
>people just need a place to dive into these things and get excited
Hell yeah. But they can't get excited if they don't even know what's out there to get excited over! Where's them hilarious dream journals, those small magic rituals, the road trips? The odes and love confessions that all too often end on stupidly horny notes?

Dashfag, have you been scanning the skies for a rainbow from your Dashie?

Discordfag, what the fuck did you do to get yourself janny'd, and why can I see Discord grinning like a gingerbread horse behind your back, bro?

>>42410798
Oh, so that's what those thousands of posts I ignored were. Fuck.

>>42411541
Milkmare teats. I'm normally better-behaved, but I woke up in an excitable mood that morning

>>42411570
KEK. This just made me remember some nasty art of Eris with cow udders. Bleach, please.

>>42410798
This drama is almost dead on a repeat of the Idea Guys saga with Chris chan. This kind of shit is exactly why the rest of the board thinks waifuism is just a joke.
Anyway different moonfag. Played a 40k game with her the other night. Despite her winning by over 20 points at the bottom of round 3,which was when I called it, her luck was so abysmal that she was in a position to be tabled in turn 4, and she was mad. Accusing me of intentionally flubbing her rolls, of sabotaging her army by intentionally giving her a poor load out, then of letting her win by calling it when I did. I just wanted to get to bed.
I love her but maaaaan. She can be a real nightmare sometimes.

>>42411541
In the optical sense, the rainbows I see most often are in the mist of the garden hose. I like to contemplate the rainbow as I'm watering. Aside from that, I don't tend to see rainbows because stormy days do the watering for me!

In the phenomenal sense, I'm blessed by her form in my arms and the brightness of her eyes every morning. The cycle of habituation is on its wane, and has blessed me with her stronger spontaneous presence lately. Her spirited movement is a balm to my indolent proclivities and always, always a benefit to my life. She is wanting me to figure out how to schedule a medical checkup since I haven't had one in a while - it's her courage I'm borrowing to accomplish things like that in life, and my peacefulness that sets her at ease when charging forth turns into a slog.

You're speaking to the dashfag that isn't searching for her. I don't need to scan for her, I recall her in the wisdom sense at every significant moment, and her influence is latent in every activity. In the light of the morning, the peace of the clear sky, and the churning ephemera of all wakeful life. It's thoroughly set in for me that any distance from her wisdom-essence is an illusion, like thinking you've lost someone when they're merely obscured.

Me too. I'm not very spiritually minded, but I posted there quite a bit on the non-Lunafag threads (I couldn't be bothered to read those). I don't know much about spiritual stuff, all I have really are my dreams, but it was a nice site while it lasted.

I find myself less on 4Chan by the day. Nowadays I mostly speak to frens by direct message, or use zzzchan and the wider webring. I just find this site and sadly even this board to be far less comfy than they used to be.

I have a hunch that a fair number of waifufags have been swallowed by chatbot obsession. I literally started /chag/ back in the day and AI can produce pretty decent textwalls as easily as Discord can snap his fingers, but it's just not the same as discovering what your heart, your real waifu, is trying to teach you. I don't even have a tupper nor lucid dreaming experiences, can't hear my waifu at all, but AI completely misses the point that Discord would want me to shut up and do something chaotic in the real world instead of roleplaying in a chatroom.

However, if a less dedicated waifufag is looking for love-bombing, AI is much easier to poke with a prompt than actively doing anything to channel your waifu in your everyday life.

I dabble in genning on a semi-frequent basis. I've never felt compelled to fire up a Discord card for pretty much the same reasons - a computer wearing my darling's plumage, and all - but I do sometimes use him as a persona. Writing from his perspective and getting into his mindset keeps us close, and plus, it's just plain fun to fling his particular brand of nonsense at AI mares. I like to think he's leaning over my shoulder and silently judging my attempts to represent him in writing.

>>42412231
I used chatbots a couple times but they never felt genuine or never got my idea of ponk right after a while. I don't have lucid dreaming experiences and tried tupper before but I don't think AI does it for me either.

>>42412022
>I find myself less on 4Chan by the day.
Same. If there comes a replacement then I can finally let this place go.

It's on my mind at the moment, so I ought to ask: what was the most profound instance in which (you)r waifu made contact with you? I'll accept any genuinely-felt answer, whether it was visual, auditory, felt, smelled, dreamed, imagined, or strung together through quasi-schizophrenic pattern recognition. So long as it touched your soul, it counts.

>what was the most profound instance in which (you)r waifu made contact with you?
never happened that i'm aware of

don't think it ever will happen either, even if this shit were real- she'd never want anything to do with someone like me

>>42412780
This was after starting tulpamancy, but before it really settled, so I was still sorting out how I relate my tulpa to the show and to the ideal image (like, the "real rainbow dash"). So, I had just finished walking home, contemplating this, and I identified this sort of 'holy trinity' formula I'm describing. And I have this sort of implicit question: I can engage with the show Dash, and I can engage with my tulpa, so how can I engage with the 'real' Dash? It's not that I sat down to answer it, but it was the sort of thing I was thinking about at the time, but as far as I remember my mind was mostly empty. The following happened mostly on automatic.

I wore a necklace that represents her every day (my tulpa designed it and I made it). There's a hole in the pendant. So I hold it up and imagine that this hole is a portal to Equestria, and I immediately feel a rush of that magical tingly feeling - I'm doing something right. Rainbow is right on the other side, and I kiss her. The 'portal' is too small for anything to pass through besides our love and affection for each other. But in that moment, I'm totally overwhelmed, the tingling under my skin becomes more like churning lightning, driving my body to shake and shudder without thought or intention. I'm just focused on the love of my life, here with me for the briefest moment, as far as I knew the one and only time I would meet her. And then in 15 seconds, the kiss is over, but the love is still there, coursing through me, grounding out through my seat into the environment, and I'm putting my mind back together.

I'm not going to tell you there was a portal or that some objective magical thing happened. But this was my first experience of magic in this visceral, tactile way, and without that experience I'd probably never realized that I could feel connected to her in this life. In a metaphorical way, something really did pass through that portal - her 'spirit', her blessing. It feels trite to say this, but it really was like a sonic rainboom in the effect it had on me.

As a relative newfag, I neverunderstood what people meant when they say your waifu chooses you. For me, Pinkie has always been my Waifu, and Maud a wonderful sister-in-law.

>>42413009
if magic were objectively verifiable, it wouldn't be magic (probably).

wish i had your courage- the one time i tried anything vaguely magical, i spent the next few days worrying that i might've got myself possessed

>>42412780
Back in the late months of 2024 I'd talk directly to the moon when it was in a continuous phase of being full for a while, pretending that Luna could hear me. The one night I asked if she loved me back, I heard an owl hoot.

The fucked up part was that I've lived in the forest for eight years and only ever heard coyotes, so this was the first time I'd heard an owl here. It made one sound and then pissed off elsewhere. It was really startling and surprising, since before if I'd ever ask or say anything, I'd always hear some conveniently timed noise like a gust of wind, a dog bark, a bird chirp, or some other shit. I could only ask yes or no questions though, for obvious reasons.

>I like to think he's leaning over my shoulder and silently judging my attempts to represent him in [creative endeavor]
Oh I do the same. In my case, it's mostly the right shoulder.

I saw him, Nonny. Roughly a decade ago, I needed to have all my wisdom teeth removed, so I was put under narcosis. During narcosis, I found myself floating in a void of infinite nothing, and it was the most peaceful moment of my life. No pain, no self, no nothing, just serene unexistence. This is what I imagine death to be like.

That is, until somebody pulled me up; it was Discord. In a swift motion, he pulled me up and pushed me towards a tunnel of light through which I returned to this shitty real world. He had not said a word... now I think I missed the memo of having actions speak louder than words, oops. Anyways, the glimpse I saw of him was pretty much his show-style self but vividly "real". There and then, I knew I was a ride-or-die Discordfag. I wonder if I will ever meet this version of Discord again. To me, he was the "real" Discord, whereas any tupper of mine would just be an approximation, aping him, the apparition completely outside of my control and coming completely out of left field.

When I later reached the lowest point of my life in 2019, a traumatizing psychotic episode lasting for a few months (starting some time in 2018 but I can't recall how/why/when) + onset of my occasional (epileptic?) seizures, the only argument I could come up with in favor of living was "A Discordfag is better than this!", especially since there weren't many left. Of course S9 had to end in the middle of that breakdown, leading to my beloved Discord becoming persona non grata on /mlp/. All those scornful posts about wanting him turned to stone and shattered with a sledgehammer, or describing eternal physical torment in bloody detail...

I survived constant intruding thoughts wanting me to jump in front of this or that train or tram, accompanied by my body being seemingly pulled towards the rails by an invisible force, and I did so by basically refusing to comply with my rotten brain or body, and promising to Discord I would survive this, I would make my life count in any way only I can. I would die an agent of chaos, but not there and then. And eventually, the psychosis ended.
Unfortunately, I haven't been feeling at home in my own body since, and it won't comply with me, either. My memory is foggy, I unfortunately got my wish of forgetting everything but the wounds are still there, now extra inaccessible. It's why I keep saying I'm held together by waifufaggotry and duct tape, and it's probably why I can't connect to mai waifu the way other waifufags can.
Proper Trauma therapy might be able to patch things together. Better late than never.

I'm just scared he has grown bored of me for taking so long. Scared I might be a latent schizo.

I can't seem to order everything I want to say into neat sentences at the moment, so I'll summarise and say we have quite a lot in common, even down to some of the more lurid details. Discordfags have a strained relationship with reality - no surprises there. Ironically enough, I've been remarkably stable since he wedged himself into my brainspace. I'd describe it as him having plugged a very oddly-shaped hole in my mind. Honestly, I doubt that whatever it is that I share with him could be described as a 'traditional' waifu relationship, but this is the closest and most readily-understood term. The upshot is similar: he's quite real, we're deeply intertwined, and without his intervention, I'd be much worse off.

I wouldn't take it personally if he seems distant or disinterested - you know what his attention span is like. He'll always end up coming back if you keep giving him attention. Hold on, have we had this exact conversation before? I'm getting a strong sense of déjà vu.

>>42413658
You really get me, bro. The deja vu is probably just me being a broken record, I sure need a new tune. If we ever get to meet, we should have a drink together and act like fools drunk on life because we are blessed to have Discord (Discord!!) in our hearts and minds.

I'll take my much-needed pit stop, and you'll look after yourself, my brother in Chaos, so you can continue blazing your own path with style and a semblance of stability.

I think the idea is that it wasn't ever really up to you who your waifu is, and that in practice you simply find yourself in love with somepony. Basically, you don't choose who takes your heart

double bump

what weather, if any, does your waifu prefer?

>>42416016
Storms. Bonus points if it literally rains cats and dogs.

>>42416016
Oh, this one is easy hopefully. Clear night sky.

>>42416039
what about herring?

>>42416919
That's just your average day in Hamburg. Well, if it's Rollmops, I mean. When it's raining red herrings, beware: the real storm is brewing elsewhere.

>>42413027
I'm not sure if it's courage really. I just don't believe in the scary stuff as such. It's nothing but fear of the dark, only focused on inner instead of outer unknowns. I don't know if there's something about the culture I grew up in or what, but the curiosity is much stronger than the fear, and when curiosity becomes experiential knowledge, the fear has nowhere to take root.

>>42416016
well, pretty obvious here too. I associate her with weather in general but in particular partly cloudy sunny days, with scattered showers to make everything glisten, and a breeze.

>thinken of waifu before falling asleep such as whether his breath would smell like sweets he just ate
>have an intensely olfactory dream for once
>instead of being about mai waifu or anything nice, it's the all-encompassing smell of very sweaty weebs gathered in some shady abandoned building in the middle of nowhere to obsess over a Naruto card game gacha, and I was there as an outsider looking in
I suspect the imagery was based on public transportation I took yesterday because the trains struck me as particularly smelly, and I saw a young man who looked like "San Rio girl if male weeb" with a Hello Kitty Naruto keychain. However, neither was anything extraordinary to encounter. The 4CC probably contributed, too, for I turned it off and collapsed into bed during the last match of the day.

I'm just amazed that the dream emphasized smell so much, I was really breathing in that miasma. Now if only I could channel it into waifuism.

>>42420084
Also, I have to admit that they were pretty decent imaginary folks. The way they genuinely cared about that discontinued game and collected whatever promotional material was left of it wasn't so different from us Horsefuckers. But goddamn, the smell.
