That’s funny, the first time I came across the concept of ‘’petfu’’ was no later than last Monday, and now I see a thread about it on /mai/! I don’t have a petfu and personally don’t see the appeal, the same way I don’t see the appeal for having kidfus (I’m not pretending, of course, that kidfus and petfus are on the same level). To be honest, I always felt that the strong and serious emotional investment into multiple characters, who would hold different roles into the global fantasy, was weird. I really don’t say that to offend anyone, I’m just being honest about my gut feeling. The way I usually witness it, waifus (and husbandos) are the more common type, and are usually the bedrock on which all others characters will be added. Then there are the kidfus (daughterus and sonfus), which would usually join later and form, with the waifu, a family unit for the waifuist. They are, as I see it, an extension of the waifuist fantasy, as the waifu becomes a mother who raises a kid with the waifuist. My feeling is that around 30-50% of waifuists have at least one kidfu, but it’s just based on a vague impression. I think I’ve just seen once a person who said he had a daughteru before having a waifu, so it seems pretty rare. More rarely I’ve seen ‘’siblingfus’’ (sisterfus and brofus, I guess I should call them?). I’ve always felt a bit perplex about those (and really, I mean no offense to anyone by saying that). How are they actually integrated into the fantasy? Are they (in the fantasy) adopted by the waifuists’ parents? I know I’m speaking the same words of those who judge waifuists and that is why I remain very careful about that ‘’gut feeling’’ I was referring to, but for me, if someone would say he has a waifu, 3 kidfus, 2 siblingfus, 3 cousinfus, 2 grandparentfus, 3 petfus, and 5 friendfus, I would tend to think……..is this person actually filling some void in his life with all those characters?… And how can you even find the time and mental energy to invest into all these characters? I just have a waifu, and I often feel that I don’t give her all the attention that she deserves… I would be curious to know others’ perspective on that, and if you happen to have many kidfus, siblingfus, and/or petfus, etc. please let me know how it works. Maybe that’s all I need to change my biased mind.

>>70060 It definitely depends on the person and is situational Some feel that they are capable of taking care of kidfu's, and some do not. There are many reasons someone would feel comfortable adopting a character >Financial stability >Adequate spare time >Actually wanting a child; there are a lot of waifuists that just don't see themselves and their waifu's as parents My point is: Adopting a character or characters might feel odd to you specifically, but feels "right" for some others And when it comes to siblings, they arent literally their sibling, but sort of an older brother/sister figure, which happens often in real life. Same with mother and father figures. When integrating characters into the fantasy, it often doesn't have to make sense. Waifuism in general is like this, when having a fictional character as a significant other, you can't always explain how you got together or how things work Hope that helps I wanted to adopt a Yukkuri as a pet for quite awhile and ultimately decided it'd be a Rem She's my favorite 2hu after Reimu and Marisa (Flan following short after), and I just felt like a Remilia felt "right" for our family, not sure why. I was thinking about that too hehe, I was wondering how you'd respond

Bumping this thread before it disappears from the catalog, also to remind the newcomers that this exist.

>>69895 Hang in there buddy you'll make it through with Lily >>69909 I'm glad to hear it's getting better for you Rubybro school is always tough. You can do it! >>69912 I had a long time when it was like that as well but I think it was a combination of life issues and my negative feelings towards her series at the time. It got better once I sorted it out, so hopefully it does so for you too. >>69913 Sounds like you have a good relationship with Yoshiko, which is nice to see. On another topic Dengeki has some really nice Sunshine illustrations. Yohane looks very sweet there. >>69916 Sometimes it's about how much you can prioritize her when there are distractions.

>>69939 Thanks m8.

Personally, I like to watch movies with Susie, read books that remind me of her, talk to her about philosophy and things that interest us, and generally do things that I know we'd both enjoy.

Of course! Mostly in my head though, but I talk when I know I'm alone. We chat about a lot of stuff, though mostly commenting about random stuff and making observations. We're very social particularly when playing vidya together. It gets interestenting since Yoshiko has the chuuni =3

Yeah, Crow here. I imagine Susie being next to me and enjoy imagining conversations between us. Usually we talk about stuff like philosophy, politics, and our daily struggles. I also imagine her with me as we watch things like horror movies. My favorite part of the day is falling asleep and imagining her in my arms as we drift off together.

I talk to her through my daki or phone. I talk to her very casually about whatever subject's on my mind at the moment. There's a bit of 'lovey' talk here and there, with some 'I love you's tossed around whenever we're going to bed. It's easy for me to imagine her voice, and I can hear her talking to me when we're doing something like watching movies together.

Her flaws? They only make her better. She comes off as mean to a lot of people, though she really only is mean to those that deserve it. She also might not be very good at talking, but, we don't need words to understand each other.

I'd say her most noticeable flaw is that she's very apprehensive. The smallest issues will make her worry, and in turn this causes a lot of unnecessary stress for her. This flaw is a big part of her character. While I love every aspect of her, it does tug on my heart a little knowing that she's often very distressed. In a way though, it did play a big part in me falling for her. Back when I first met her, whenever I saw her sad or stressed I'd fantasize about comforting her. It was during these daydreams that I gradually began to realize how much she really means to me. She does have other flaws too of course. She isn't very book-smart, she's quite impulsive, and she can also get unreasonably angry on occasion, but admittedly I find these flaws to be more like endearing little quirks. They just strengthen her charm.

Susie has pyromania, so sometimes she has struggles with her desire to start fires and be around flame. She's also not very good in social situations, and is quick to creep people out. I love these idiosyncrasies and feel that they add to who she is.

Painted something new for the season.

>>68500 I like the way you drawn the head on the first pic, however I think you should put more emphasis on the shoulders and body proportions (one of them seem bigger than the other). Other than that, really cute and good work, lot of potential here. Mind posting a more recent drawing if you made more of them since then ? >>68515 Very good body proportions, especially in the third pic. I prefer the last one because the outfit look classier to me, my only criticism here would be that her right hand look too small and her left hand seem inverted. Again, same as with op, lot and lot of potential and really nice drawings. >>69478 Damn that's a cute picture ! I really like the shadings and the colors. How long did it took for you to reach that level of drawing ? >>69485 Holy fuck are you a professional artist or something ? You did a great job making these drawings, your waifu look very cute, especially in the third picture (I love her outfit and her eyes look so pure). Mind telling what software did you use to make these awesome drawings ? >>69579 Again, good work, your waifu look very pure and innocent. She look very cute with that snow in her hair too ! If I were you tho I wouldn't share these pictures on the Internet since some people may fap to it, especially to the first drawing you posted in your previous post, because your waifu look somewhat "slutty" in it (no offense but her outfit and her facial expression look provocative).

>>69928 Thanks I use Clip Studio Paint. I'm not too worried about that she's an idol so she's used to being seen.

In closing I love Amelie with all my heart,mind,body,and soul. I hope I properly explained in depth exactly how our relationship is and how I feel about her.

congrats OP may your love never end

>>69378 >>69379 >>69380 Congratulations Anon for your marriage ! The capacity to commit to such a relationship for so long is a remarkable and very respectable deed. I hope your relationship bring you happiness and peace of mind.
