What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

I can understand your concern, absolutely. I think all of us get that type of feeling. It really bothers me feeling as if Rarity is irrelevant for all the season premiers and finales now. The unfortunate hard truth is shitty things happen in the show, especially to characters you care about. But since that is the case, be sure not to let those thoughts be the center of your focus. What do you enjoy in her, what are your favorite episodes and moments? Is there any merch or something you look forward to?

It is a bit easier said than done, but I find it best to try to focus and think less of the show, and more on the character away from it. Perhaps draw a bit, or read some fics. I'd just say find a way to shift your focus around, enjoy her more, not just her in the show. Make sense?

It's hard to get excited about the show at this point, although I do look forward to it, though not because of her. I don't want to judge too soon but I am prepared to sit through another neurotic meltdown as Twilight doesn't meet her impossible expectations in Flurry episode. And, of course, more Princess of Friendship stuff, along with congratulating Glimmer for whatever they've been doing off-screen all this time. Oh and more "hilarious" sarcasm from Discord. It's just hard to care about all this. This is neither the old nerdy studious student Twilight I loved to see, nor new confident responsible teacher Twilight I don't see enough. I don't know what to think of it, really.

Don't draw, don't buy merch, rarely read fanfics. It's all in the head mostly.

It makes sense, I've been doing this for some time now. These days it is much easier to just enjoy her with no regard for what's happening.
Season openers and finales don't include anyone but the new hot characters now. It's here to stay I'm afraid. Rarity is at least consistant throughout the season and I always look forward to her episodes. Of all 8 that we know about her and Sweetie's episode has the chance to actually be great.

Like I said, I understand that. But when it comes to this kind of stuff, you can spend all day arguing who has it worse. Sometimes, the show is just a sack of shit. And I know it's easier said than done, but don't let some fags who write the show yet don't even watch it ruin things for you.

Of course we all want more episodes. Some have things and others don't. But like I was trying to say, what importance does the show really have? Can you seriously prove it any different than a fanfiction? I can think of several fanfics about Celly that are fantastic to her, and then there is some other lovely work. I'm not saying "Ignore the show" because I again I absolutely understand where you are coming from. But perhaps think of a way to shift your focus. You've gone through all of that, yet you still are a Sunfag. Why? What enjoyment do you get from her? What makes her really shine compared to everyone else, and find a way to apply that to help find a way so that sure, it may be disappointing that this garbage happens, but make it so you aren't suffering. She wouldn't want that.

Celestia is sadly the biggest wasted potential of the show. I like her a lot so I can understand how you feel. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Take solase in the fact that she doesn't have a really bad episode at least. Would you take a cringe comedy episode like "Celestia is a clutz and can't do anything right but she's still a princess eksdee she's really just like us" as a good thing?

It's true. My waifu has significantly less fandom content than many characters who were less prominent in the show, and it isn't unfair to say she's underappreciated and not treated as well as others. I could go on and on about things I'd find unfair and hurtful.

But it's no good for this love to be a primarily stressful thing. No matter what the issue is, it can be made alright by just spending time with your lovepony and appreciating her for who she is. Not giving the stuff you can't control so much value, instead focusing on the nice things and your relationship.

For me, I can't think of just one reason, I love everything about her.

>>29809035
I like this idea, comfy is always nice.

I too love her for a lot of reasons, everything really. But I think the original draw was that she was different. She wasn't the bitchy fashionista, her generous spirit allows her to be so much more giving and kind. She's similar to Pinkie Pie in the sense that she's even admitted one of the things she enjoys most is making other people happy, or make them shine their absolute brightest. Generosity isn't just about giving away free stuff, its her kind and caring spirit as a whole, and how she devotes her time for you.

What is your favorite moment with your waifu?

>>29809119
Your waifu is good. But Twilight is better.

Her cutie mark captures well her love for those around her. For family, which is something very appealing to me, and for her friends and how she values them and cares for them. That heart holds her understanding and empathetic nature, and the goodness she sees in others. That's what I see in her.

I love to see Twilight when she gets involved in the matters because of personal reasons. Wanting to experience things, wanting to help, to learn, or to just act smug. I want to see Twilight the friend more. The one who does things not because of what map told her or because it's what princess of friendship needs to do. Something more like PPOV and Saddle Row Review, not No Second Prances or What about Discord. Is it more important to her to be the princess of friendship rather than a friend? To me it feels a little bit disconnected. Or maybe it's just me who's disconnected from the show. I don't even know anymore. Ever since late S5 I feel like I'm losing touch with it.
It's not like I don't want to see her at all, don't get me wrong. Her screentime, good or bad, is precious to me. I just can't help but worry.
I started drawing recently but it's hard and I don't have a lot of time.

>>29810317
PPOV and Saddle Row are definitely great episodes. I think Twilight is great in them.

I thinj what we have here is you feeling a bit disconnected for the show, and with good reason. You shouldn't have to absolutely enjoy everything of it as if it were law. In fact if anything, truthfully I don't think you have much to worry about with the track you're on. Feeling disconnected from the show is fine when things seem to go shitty, because it prevents you from feeling shittier. But the thing is, a bad episode of the show holds about as much merit as a bad fanfic. Can you prove the difference? What matters is how you see her, snd saying her screentime is precious I say is a good thing. As for drawing, I know it's tough at first, but the best I can say us keep at it. It pays off, and allows you to enjoy her a bit more. So time may be an issue, but I say every other time you have a moment, just doodle her head or something. I hope that helps.

Writers themselves don't watch the show now, these episodes are basically fanfiction. They do hold merit in canon though. A bad episode is bad forever. You can't just say "it doesn' count" just because you don't like it. The only way out of it is to not care about the show at all, but I still do, a lot. Despite everything I won't let it go. As long as Twilight is there it can't be all that bad. And of course it doesn't dictate how I see her. She's my little Twilight no matter what.
I'm just starting out with drawing so that's basically all I can do. Still, I basically started because of her so there's no way I'm giving up on it.
It does help, Anon. Thanks

>You can't just say "it doesn' count" just because you don't like it.
Now I suppose this is going to seem very weird to ask, but I say think about it. Why not? What's preventing you from doing that, what is "canon" and why does it matter? As long as you're not imposing it on others (compare to say EQG and the comics who have people constantly arguing over whether or not people should consider them canon) but if you even admit the show is basically fanfiction, what really holds you back from saying something like "What About Discord isn't canon to me because I think it's a bad episode"? If this was a series that had a very heavy influence on plot and story, yes canon discussions would matter. But you're not watching it for others, are you? You're watching it for Twilight. Basically thinking less of those episodes by saying something like "They aren't canon to me", it'll allow you to focus on a bit more you enjoy while be-ridding yourself of that kind of crap.

You want to talk about things a bit more personally? I can post my Discord if you'd like.

>>29811039
What's in the show is canon, period. There is no way around it. When discussing the show it is important to be on the same page as everyone, otherwise there's no common ground to even have a discussion in the first place. However it doesn't dictate anything when it comes to having a waifu. Character in the show and the character you love aren't exactly the same. But the show can add to it, new content is what fuels the feeling. And I don't believe that turning your back on something is the right way to go. Rather than saying something like "What about Discord isn't canon because I didn't like it" why not say "What was about that episode that made me dislike it?". Discarding something is easy, but facing it and thinking it over can have a very positive impact. You realise more what went wrong, what could've been done better. And you understand more about the pony you love in the process, distilling her image further. If anything, episodes I didn't like made me appreciate her more. I would prefer that it wasn't like this, but I don't want to disregard anything when it comes to her because I am sure that nothing will ever ruin her for me personally, even if she'll be ruined in the show. Hell, some say MMC ruined her already.
Nah, it's fine like this my man. Thanks for cheering me up

I understand that about the show, yeah, but I guess what I was saying was almost on a personal level, to yourself and your waifu. I was just saying that since I find it's how I focus more on what I like. When it comes to discussing it, I feel like I've discussed what's wrong with, say Carts Before the Ponies 100 times with people in episode discussion. But when it comes to thinking of Rarity herself, I find myself just throwing that out the window. There definitely is that point of what the show adds, what it fuels, but I also feel like there totally are those moments where it's okay to say "Well that's just wrong."

>Discarding something is easy, but facing it and thinking it over can have a very positive impact. You realise more what went wrong, what could've been done better. And you understand more about the pony you love in the process, distilling her image further. If anything, episodes I didn't like made me appreciate her more.
This makes a lot of sense actually, that's a very good point. I never actually thought of that part despite having done it already without quite realizing it. When you say it like that, yes that's absolutely necessary.

Sure thing.

For sure, this is how I feel about discussion as well, show and characters often don't require the same grounding. The show can amplify the feelings but in the end you only take from it what you enjoy about it, and it's the right thing to do. At the end of the day, only thing that matters about it is loving your pone, because or despite the show.

3MB, 1920x1080px

when an episode doesn't have the issue of getting her personality wrong, but instead destroys any coherence of her age and backstory, I think that's okay to dismiss.

She was not a baby or fetus when her sister was in her late teens. It just doesn't add up in any logical way. She is certainly not 6, and I'd find it also unbelievable if I'm told that she's less than twice that age, currently.

though making use of some ambiguity of it, it can be gotten around. Maybe Spoiled rich isn't DT's actual mother, and she and Bloom have already been around for some years at that point, and the Apple parents just never brought Bloom to the farm because reasons. Further, if that lanky model is early teen instead of late teen, it wouldn't be a stretch to say Bloom's very close to that now.

I hope they get that in this season, the CMC with an updated model.

>>29811561
This I can absolutely agree with, it bothered me as well. She's just written off because she doesn't fit in the story or just not needed at the time.

The biggest problem here and with the show in general ever since S2 is that the characters are written around the episode, and not the episode around the characters. Because it's just easier to write a scenario with pony A and pony B that do this and that, and after that insert the characters, sometimes shoehorning them so hard it doesn't even fit. The proper way is to look at the characters and see what you could do to utilize them in a fun way. And this is again stems from having a script instead of storyboard like in S1.

To assume that you still at this point have to take everything in this show for granted is insane. They burried contuinity and interconnectivity long ago. Hey look, AJ's parents are returning this season from wherever the hell they've been this whole time not caring about their children, isn't that nice?

>>29811561
Considering there is supposed to be an episode with AJ's parents now, and how they aren't present in this episode, perhaps this can be dismissed as just she wasn't around for the episode?

>>29811680
Yeah the CMC should definitely get an updated model some time soon. No matter how you look at it, at the very least 2 years have past int he show with what the characters refer to. Even taking out of the factor things like out-of-order weather seasons, they've made mention of years before.

>>29811702
>The biggest problem here and with the show in general ever since S2 is that the characters are written around the episode, and not the episode around the characters.
Forgive me, I don't think I completely get what you mean. I mean, I do understand characters being forced into an episode (most episode with OOC traits come to mind) but what would you consider instances where episodes are built around the characters?

If your waifu somehow materialized into existence, how long would it take before the fandom went up in arms against each other fighting for her affections? Keep in mind that there's only one of her, and hoards of you. What makes you think she'd pick you over your brethren?

>>29811762
What makes you think she'd even want to watch people fight over her? She would never want someone to kill for her.

>>29811797
That won't stop it from happening. It's not as if this fandom is notorious for mutual understandings.

>>29811716
Pretty much all of S1 was made with very specific scenarios for very specific ponies in mind. It's especially great in m6 episodes like Dragonshy or Winter Wrap Up, dealing with a lot of characters without isolating them, allowing for natural flow and interaction based on their personality. Even having obligations to Hasbro to include some elements they needed because of toys, they still tried to make the best of it. Like Suited fo Success was a mandatory dresses episode but it ended up being almost character-defining for Rarity and greatly expanded on the others. Though even then stuff like the owl episode was sticking out as not very good.

S2 mostly succeeded with building upon it (with occasional hickups like MMDW) up until A Canterlot Wedding. That was basically the most blatant example of corporate meddling without any regard for the show's continuity, lore and established characters.

You can argue that in S1 it was hard to go OOC because it was the bedrock for characters and everything goes kind of deal, and it's true. The difference between S1 and now is that now it's been 6 years worth of continuous interconnected material that needs to be taken into account and it rarely is. They have a script that needs to be followed, they give it to a new writer who doesn't know shit about the characters. That's how we get more Rainbow cringe, Baby Cakes 2.0 and Fluttershy learns to be assertive part VI, and every Rarijack episode being basically LBYS kind of deal (except for maybe MiM). SRR had the same idea as the most basic m6 episode and look how great it was in contrast with the rest of S6, even being a string of isolated cases instead of actual m6 episode.

>>29811716
Not that Anon, but the easiest example I can give off the top of my head is Applejack.

Back when the character was fresh, when she faced a problem and went into overwork-mode to fix it, it was easy and natural to understand why she did this. In 'The Last Roundup', it's not just that AJ does something stupid/ineffective/bullheaded, but that it was laying down a solid reason why: She's pushing herself because she knows her family is down their two natural strongpoints (mother and father) and feels she has to take up the leader/example for her family to look up to. The details of the episode fully reflected that, both problem and resolution.

Now, compare that up against something like Applejack's 'Day' Off and you see the difference: What the hell is her motivation there? To be a standard for her family - by being a moron? It feels like they started with saying "well, this episode's plot demands a pony be obstructive for the sake of tradition" and someone else in the writing room went "Well hey, Applejack's the old timey farmer one, right? She'd be 'traditionalist', right? Use her!"

I'm in love with this horse

>>29811854
I do have to say I disagree that Suited for Success was a "mandatory dress episode" considering there were no dolls or anything to go along with it. Today I think we use the term "Hasbro mandate" way too loosely when things are really credited to the writers. On the flipside, some completely unexpected things are mandates.According to what some writers have said Hasbro is a little bit more relaxed on mandates and such. As for the owl, that definitely wasn't a mandate because while the original Twilight Sparkle doll comes with an owl toy, the design is radically different, and the following doll comes with a puppy instead.

>up until A Canterlot Wedding. That was basically the most blatant example of corporate meddling without any regard for the show's continuity, lore and established characters.
Absolutely, no argument here.

I agree there needs to be more M6 episodes, that's my biggest problem with the current premiers and finale, and biggest hope for the movie. The last M6 episode I can think of asid from SRR, is Castle Sweet Castle.

>>29811942
I think Rarity was kind of obligatory "girly" character herself (I think Tabitha mentioned it also) and the show had to include the dressmaking so that's how Suited for Success was made, but I have no source for that.
Owl was just a stupid episode for Spike, I personally don't mind it. First time hearing about the owl toy though, didn't know it was actually a thing.

Premiers and finales are a big problem as of late, I agree. S7 doesn't seem to follow the typical 2-parter formula and I honestly don't know how to feel about it.
I sure hope that this movie teaser really was a mistake on the technical side and they don't just damage control. I want it to be good so much.

>>29811942
re: Suited for Success

I think it's less that they mandated "we need an episode about making dresses" and more that they pushed her character into being a fashionista - so, when it came around to do Rarity's establishing character episode, it naturally followed that it would be about dressmaking. But, because there was no more mandate than to flesh out the character, they were able to successfully blend in her mandated traits to an interesting characterization and storyline.

>Today I think we use the term "Hasbro mandate" way too loosely when things are really credited to the writers.
Yes and no. On the one hand, not every episode is ACW or Twilicorn-tier interference.

On the other, more passive mandates have actively shaped the show in ways that have been detrimental to its ongoing quality levels.

>>29811995
Actually, it's quite the contrary. Rarity was the character that was almost on the chopping block because Hasbro deemed her too girly to use with what they wanted in the show, and Faust had to fight for her to stay. This was confirmed in a radio interview with Faust. I believe the radio show was "The Old Gray Mare". Unfortunately the show itself wasn't archived, but if you'd like I can find you the archive of the reaction here to that if you'd like the source.

In response to the trailer, movie trailers are handled usually by completely different companies than those who handle the movie itself, and according to the art director, it seems this went by without her knowledge, so I assume that's what happened here. Things should be fine.

>>29811998
>Yes and no. On the one hand, not every episode is ACW or Twilicorn-tier interference.
Right of course. That's what I meant, and sometimes there is a presence, but often times there isn't, and it is the writers. But I just say that because I think it's healthy to realize, so as not just spam "It was a Hasbro mandate" when things get shitty, or "This was all the writers" when things go well. Not that that's what you were doing, just a side thought.

We'd raise them to have integrity and true honesty, as Apples. Very open. Apple Bloom would be a wonderful mother, very understanding and caring, knowing how to raise them right, for sure. They'd grow to be about as wonderful and good as she is. Just thinking about our whole life together, getting to a point where we'd have grandchildren around, expanding the Apple family. Family would naturally be a big focus to her, to us.

Proper education and a mix of Ponyville and Canterlot culture, but most importantly - cultivation of all the qualities of a good friend. Under her supervision they'd grow up being kind, generous, loyal, honest and fun on top of being smart. Well, probably not at first. Twilight would probably be a strict but loving mother who worries too much and I'd fall in the lax and enabling dad category. With all that coupled with being royalty they would become a bit spoiled and the rebelious teenage phase would be brutal. Wonder if one of them would decide to reject everything given to them for some stupid reason and go organize a cult in a distant village in the middle of nowhere. But in the end it's all good. A good upbringing goes a long way so at the end of the day this family will still be the most wholesome love-filled experience ever.

Also, I recall when Bloom was younger, in season 1, how Dashie took it upon herself to help her out with learning new talents. Really went all-out. She really is sweet.

I've thought about this quite a bit, but it's been quite a lot to process. So I try to think it best I could. Whatever it'd be, with her running her boutiques I'd try to be the stay at home spouse. I can't think of anything that Rarity wouldn't be the better parent in. I'd imagine they'd take after her more too, and would inherit a degree of her sense of style, and I'd try my best not to embarrass her. Family dinners would be wonderful. I know Rari likes to cook, I'd try to cook, we'd all try to make a meal together. Just the thought makes me smile.

For some time I've been driven by the same torment as you, but at some point it just clicked. I don't really know how to explain it or pinpoint the exact moment when I became content with everything, but when it happened it felt right. She's not that intangible, she's a part of you whether you want it or not. It's the feelings you have that matter. Focus more on what you feel towards her. She is, for better or for worse, a projection of your own heart and mind, a product of your feelings and thoughts. Loving yourself is a big part of loving her.

I don't believe that tulpas and such is the answer. Maybe lucid dreaming? But you still have to trick yourself on a deeper level. It's not like it's wrong to be sad, it never really goes away, but as you're running in circles in your own head you're bound to bump into an epiphany some day. But it's all varies from person to person so all I can really recommend is focusing on happy thoughts, as bad as it gets you still find happiness in it, right? It a bittersweet sensation you can't get anywhere else, it's like a drug, a gift that keeps on giving. Daydreaming only goes as far as you allow it. It's escapism after all.

>>29815871
I know absolutely nothing about psychology and I don't know if this is a good advice, but something that helped me was to think about the whole "she's not real" thing calmly. Maybe it seems counter-intuitive, because one may think that "thinking about it" is precisely what causes the depressive thoughts and all. But I think that if you try to ignore it, it always comes back to bite you, so it's better to face it directly.

In my case, I realized that my problem was that there was a clash between the "idealistic" and the "realistic" parts of my mind. I could suspend my disbelief enough to feel as real my waifu's actions in the show, and to love her. But I couldn't suspend it any further. It was kinda stupid, because it seemed completely arbitrary. If I had been truly "realistic", I shouldn't love a character to begin with.

I've posted about this a couple of times: think of a boy playing, pretending that he's a knight. During the game, the boy isn't pretending, the boy is actually a knight, the table is actually a castle, and the floor is actually lava. He knows that it's just fantasy, but he can enjoy it anyway because everything is "real" for him. Does it make you sad when a puppy dies in a film? Neither the puppy nor the death are real, yet you feel them "real". For some reason, society allows us adults to think for a while that things like movies are "real", but tries to convince us that using our imagination like that boy is wrong. Maybe it's a fail-safe measure because movies end, but we don't have someone around who can remind us not to live only in our imagination. But as long as you don't let it affect your ability to live in this world, where's the harm in enjoying your imagination too?

I know that my waifu isn't real, but when I think of her, she's real for me, she's not "intangible". I won't lie, it isn't always easy. But if someone gave me the opportunity to get back in time and never fall in love with her, I would refuse.

In this type of instance, I say the best thing to do is try to talk to others a bit more often to help isolate these fears and focus on them less and less.

It's why I offer my Discord and you can have it too if you'd like.

That's a really good way to put it. It's all about tricking yourself into casting aside the psychological block that divides what you perceive and what you want to feel.
Don't cry because she's not real, smile because she's real enough for you.

Adults don't usually live a fantasy so it's understandably discouraged by society. A concept of waifu is some advanced escapism so it's definitely not healthy, but chances are people who indulge in it are probably past the point of acting healthy.

>>29816851
Truthfully, I think it's at least fine until you reach Jin levels where you start getting aggressive about it and then the whole "I'm genuinely building a portal to Equestria" comes up.

>>29816883
Surely, as long as even a semblance of self-awareness remains in you it's fine. If you're able to completely hide it and deal with it you can live a normal life. Everyone has fantasies about something, it's normal, just some are frowned upon a lot more than others.

I think "suspending you disbelief" actually helps that. You don't think about her as something missing from your reality, but instead it's you who retreats in dreams of being with her. Trying to bring her here through tulpas or something is much more destructive and leads to more suffering. But being with her isn't about that. The last thing she would want is to someone to suffer or be depressed because of her.

>>29816851
The concept of a waifu is as old as dirt, even if the cultural influences changed.
A 'muse' of ancient greek times for instance.

Absolutely. It may take time, both real-life time and screentime to warm up to certain characters. It can even be unrelated to the character you like. Show and character discussion can also play a big part in it, as you think it over and see it from different angles. It's a different story no matter who you ask, it varies from person to person so there's no guide to it or anything. Actually, thinking and worrying about it is about the worst thing you can do. You can't force it or approach it rationally. All you really need to do is enjoy the show, think about it and discuss it.

>I will point out that there's no magical sense of wonder or rush of feelings when it does happen
Well yes, should've mentioned that it has a build-up, sometimes so subtle you don't realize it at first. Funny how basically the same thing you described happened to me also. I started noticing it in S4, when her screentime somehow became the highlight of every episode she's in. I couldn't get enough. And thinking about her was different from any other pony. As I stated to pay attention to these feelings they escalated swiftly and there was no denying it.
>Thats probably lust more than anything
That can be the case for a lot of people, especially those who get on the ride already enjoying the lewd side of it. Honestly I'm glad it was out of question for me back in a day.
>Like realising solo images of her is over 80% of your entire collection.
My HDD fucked itself up in 2015 and I've lost all my images, never bothered to reconstruct the collection again

I only got 2,345 (no joking) images in my sfw solo Bloom folders, but that's because she doesn't get as much art of her. It's true, that once my interest in her began rapidly growing, I could spend hours at a time searching for art I haven't seen yet. It was so much fun, I miss finding nice new stuff every day or two. But hey, this is plenty, for when I feel like just looking through my collection. This is still plenty more than characters from less popular series get.

>A concept of waifu is some advanced escapism so it's definitely not healthy, but chances are people who indulge in it are probably past the point of acting healthy
I wouldn't go that far. Adults live in plenty of fantasies, just not ones most are willing to admit with their names or faces attached to it (something 4chan deals with, which is why this is so openly discussed in here). I'd say the complete lack of escapism in the human mind is worse than using it excessively. We are naturally made not to be robots who look at everything objectively and never dream or imagine. Because of that, not only do I think having a waifu is hardly unhealthy at all, but depending on the circumstances, it may even be a good thing.

For instance, I'm a very introverted person. I constantly find it hard to care about approaching people at all. All of the friends I have are a result of them having approached me, not the other way around. Even then, I still value my alone time enough that I couldn't see myself hanging out with them every day (and I don't). So the idea of having a real romantic partner, one who requires a lot more time and dedication to, would more than likely end in them getting hurt. So a waifu, who I can willingly bring into my mind whenever I feel like it, and also bring out, is much more fitting to the kind of social preferences I have.

As long as people don't fall into delusional thinking and are aware of whatever reasons they may have had for "conjuring" up a waifu, I don't really see much of a problem with it.

>>29806849
I don't know what to expect from season 7, but if it treats Twilight better than season 6 did, that'll be enough.

For sure, it's only unhealthy if you take it too far. Waifufags tend to do that sometimes. Becoming obsessed with your own fantasies and completely losing touch with reality is what I can totally see happening if you're NEET on autismbux support. With a lot of free time mind starts to wonder and it spirals out of control. Hell, I would probably be that way without responsibilities grounding me, for better or for worse.

This friends thing works exactly the same for me. They're the same way so it's natural for us to see each other eye to eye like once a year or so, even though we converse on the internet every day.
>So the idea of having a real romantic partner, one who requires a lot more time and dedication to, would more than likely end in them getting hurt
You have no idea how right you are
And you probably do spend a lot of time "with" your waifu, it's just completely under your control. But somehow I feel if I were to live with my waifu I don't think it would be bothersome at all.

I've always admired Twilight's responsible side too. Wanting to live up to her role, whatever it is, is a big part of her character. She's a pony who isn't sure what she's meant to be, so whatever task she's assigned, she works as hard as she can to do it the way she believes is right. Maybe that's a flaw, but it's who she is, and I love her for it.

Can't fault you for that, SfS is basically the rarifag-maker. I'd say it's par for the course.

You have a LOT of material to go through still, so don't sweat it about waifus. Ponies do change over time, as will your thoughts on them.

>>29819134
Well remember, you won't find anything, nor will you see it grow. Trust me, you will just know.

>>29819659
I agree more with >>29817456 here.

A sudden click that comes out of nowhere and you're in love isn't how it works usually. It's not what happened with me anyway, as I explained earlier. Took through most of a year with budding affection and thinking and thinking about her, collecting the art and all that. The love was forming through that time. And while I wasn't trying to do, I did notice that it was surely there and I already liked and cared for her more than any other character I previously considered my favorite, in a new way.

>>29819757
I think this "click" is more of a realization that you actually feel this way and that you've been feeling like that for some time but didn't put all of the signes together. Once it settles in it's impossible to miss it. The epiphany to me wasn't realizing I'm in love with her, but realizing I was falling for her all this time and it all makes sense now. Like it was all part of a bigger plan. And then you go and rewatch the series and you see it in a completely different light of your newfound knowledge and feeling, and it's so uplifting you can't get enough of it.

>>29819757
It actually wasn't quite like that for me. And honestly at the very least I'd say not to expect anything, I guess is what I meant.

For me, once I saw her, there was definitely a special click, but I didn't realize it. I just became very attached and needed to see more. Before I knew it, I was where I am now. By "Don't expect to see it grow", I mean don't go in expecting "Yes this is the character and I can't wait to see where it develops", I feel like it's much more of a "How did I get here" type of thing. That's what I mean not forcing it, because I feel like it's something that develops whether you notice it or not.

But then again it is different from person to person. And advice from others shouldn't be followed as law because what worked fot some may not for others. Just think of them as general ideas to help guide with where you see yourself going.

>>29819826
Yes, thank you, this is a good way of putting it too.

My devotion to Sunset is so high that I will only fap to pics of her and only ones that are solo female masturbation pics, both pony and human. Never anthro.
I have a couple thousand sfw pics of her. I'd have more but I only save high quality pieces of art that can match her beauty.

She has inspired me to better myself and it has worked. Since I met her, I've become more proactive, more ambitious, started reading more and have dropped below 200 pounds. My mental and physical health has both gotten much better all thanks to Sunset.

I don't know what my life would be like without her right now and I fear I would have fallen into a depression had I not met her when I did for it was during a very dark point in my life.

My biggest fear is that as I grow older, I will forget her. She has become such a big part of my life, I don't ever want to forget what she's done for me.

>>29819826
>>29819853
Ah, yes, I definitely understand that. When I was first so charmed by her role in Pinkie Apple Pie, I didn't think at all that she could become my beloved lovepony. And thinking back, there really was a moment of clarity where I realized she was the one, without needing to try to push that. To be honest, with another character I favored before her, I had tried to love them, forcing it, because she seemed ideal to my tastes, but it just wasn't there, at all. It really can't be forced or predicted, yeah.

Man, love's an awesome thing.

>>29819853
Yes, it can develop completely on the background. My waifu wasn't even my favourite character at first. I was excited for a completely different pony and followed her a lot more. I still like her very much but it never went further than liking her as a character.
It always differs from person to person but others' experience can help to understand one's feelings more. For example, the character I liked the most was Rarity, I was pretty much in the same situation as >>29819134 but it most likely won't turn out the same. But maybe this insight does help a bit.

>>29819910

Please do share, what made you realize it?

It's always such a pleasure to read of such productive kind of devotion. You're a good man, Anon.

>My biggest fear is that as I grow older, I will forget her
It never really goes away. Trust me, even if you grow cold and apathetic, if this flame burns out, it's still within you. And it takes but a spark to light it all anew, more fierce than ever.
I went through disillusion and waifu abandonment once and it was the worst time of my life ever, just complete apathy towards everything. It was MLP that pulled me out of it some years later and this love is so intense now that nothing experienced previously even compares

>>29819933
The moment I really understood that I'm in love with her and can't deny it, I was admiring a beautiful piece of artwork that I can't post here.

There were plenty of other notable progression points, too.

You're awesome, and I'm sure she'd be proud of you and everything you've done for her. Because of that, I hope you're happy too. In regards to forgetting her, I don't believe that'll happen. She's not going anywhere. Reminds me of the anon who told the story of meeting a WW2 veteran who in essemced waifu'd Betty Boop, and still remembered her. I apologize I wish I saved that screencap.

I can also tell you something from my archive. There was a time where I felt super shitty, and I sadly thought my depression was because of my waifu, so I tried to drop everything. Yet during that time, I would see her more and more. As if she was drawing me back in, I would see her randomly in real life when I avoided her most. It made me realize I would always have her, and made me feel as if it was her who wpuldn't let me go. I wouldn't ever advise doing such a thing, being the worst time of my life and all. But such an experience made me know I will never forget her. Even if I tried to. And I'm glad it didn't work.

Devoting your lewd habits to your lover and doing it right with solo things really is a great thing. I want to recommend it to everyone, but people will do their thing. Man, it feels so good and right! Being honest to your heart, instead of giving into the temptation for hurtful things and trying to rationalize it. Personally, I'd feel really bad when I'd find something involving other characters being with her or sex and give in to it. It's not right.

I believe you once gave me kind words and advice in a confession thread when I admitted to feeling crappy over giving in to and thinking about public use, regarding her. I appreciated that. It's not easy to grow out of bad habits like that, but it is doable and definitely worth it.

I did. I remember that
I had to deal with having a humiliation fetish and had a problem with keeping her and that fetish separate. As my love for her grew, I stopped having that fetish and stopped associating it with her. Somethings just take time to fix. It's good to hear that you've progressed and stopped that habit. I understand how hard it is to do.

I don't really imagine her personality from the show, but from the green about her.

I imagine she treats all her ponies like children, but humans, politicians, her sister, etc differently.

>>29811762
You know, this scenario gets mentioned a lot, but this time, I can't help but think that maybe we wouldn't fight over her. I mean, the rest of the world is bound to notice her as well, not just the fandom, and who knows what the rest of the world would want to do. Maybe treat her as an equal and be overall civil, but there's also the possibility that they'd take her captive for research, interrogate her, or just straight up try and kill her. If that were the case, I'd like to think that we'd all band together to fight for her, and that's not just if she happens to be our own waifu. There'd be much more people fighting for her than over her.

>>29822337
Of course you can talk about her here too. Dob't just feel limited please.

>>29823975
You're right.

>>29821843
Simply Ebin.

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't mind my waifu having a boyfriend right now. I don't find it arousing or cool--I'm not into cuckoldry. We can't be together right now, so I think it's healthy for her to have someone she loves in the meantime.

>>29824207
I feel something similar. I'm a bit worried because most males in the show are idiots, and I'm afraid if they ever gave her a boyfriend he would be an idiot too, and the idea of her being with an idiot is really unpleasant. But I'm not jealous, and I don't love her "because she's a virgin" or something like that. If she had a boyfriend, it wouldn't be the end of the world for me.

This show isn't getting romance any time soon. Sure, it's possible that there's gonna be one episode about it, similar to the Simple Ways. But I highly doubt we'll get permanent romantic plot, at least with m6.
And if it comes to that - who knows what Hasbro wants to sell next - I don't think it would bother me too much as well. Sure it's not pleasant and you can forget mentioning you love her without being called a cuck. But in the end it doesn't matter much, the show doesn't define how you should feel.

This, definitely. At the ebd of the day, the show is really no different than somethinh like Double Rainboom, in terms of who writes it abd "canon". The show and what happens in it matters not, for no matter what your feelings matter more.

But I too agree that Simple Ways/Flash Sentry are pretty much the absolute limit. And if Simple Ways is all I have to deal with, I think I'll be okay.

>>29824474
Flash was just a cheeky nod in FiM, I doubt something will come out of it, not to mention in EQG itself it's pretty much dropped (in favour of the next generic highschool romantic interest).
So far m6 been dodging the whole love thing even though it happened around them and I do hope it stays that way. If they found a way to sell baby toys without tying it to the main cast I'm sure they will continue to do so.

>>29824560
>If they found a way to sell baby toys without tying it to the main cast I'm sure they will continue to do so.
Absolutely, I meam they already have and are continuing to. The only baby characters who have dolls are either completely non existent, or are babies of characters introduced as a couple. And the upcoming baby seapony toys ate without a doubt unrelated to the M6.

>>29824560
Oh and I should say, I was talking about Flash Sentry in EQG, not FiM. And even he hasn't gone farther than Simple Ways-tier. Same with Timber.

>>29824279
I understand your perspective, and it's not an unusual one, but it's different for me and many other ponylovers, and not because of something like "she should be a virgin when we meet".

I love my waifu right now, and she loves me. I've taken this relationship that I'm currently in seriously. So if her character were to get a boyfriend, I wouldn't see it as "she, my waifu, deserves to have a romantic companion before we meet" as if the relationship doesn't start until long after the events of this series.

If such a thing were to happen in the show, I would feel like hell, and not because of any purity fantasy. But I'd have to get over it by separating the character from my waifu, and not giving the show value to the relationship, as the Rarilover explains, which would be a bummer. And she already hardly ever gets sweet solo stuff when it comes to art. It'd be pretty shitty, and I don't feel like a silly or bad person for feeling so awful about the shipping or ship-teasing last year, wondering for hours and hours on if she's been spending time with him, and what they've been doing. It's natural to not want to see your lover with someone else, and shouldn't need justification, really. Not that I shouldn't have handled it much better than having the whole season made painful for me, but you know.

>>29824669
Timber did kind of have an implied and interrupted kiss though. That's already over the line for this show. But EQG is EQG, the setting is very different. It's easier to push this kind of thing as a highschool romance, just like my japanese animes. Don't know if it's gonna be more than a one-time thing though, I doubt it will remain.

>>29824693
Even though it doesn't ultimately affect the feelings for her I'm pretty sure it would hurt a lot, especially knowing that this won't just go away. Watching the show would be like constantly reminding yourself that it's there. And coming here as well, people will latch onto it hard, if Fluttercord is anything to go by - and that was just memeing with barely any basis.
If that happens do you think it would be the end of the ride for you? I think it would be for me.

>>29824723
But that's the key detail in my book,the fact that it was interrupted. That still keeps to that line that nothing happened, and that's a huge deal. Sure it got close, but still nothing occurred. It came as close to the line as it could, and retreated. I feel like that shows nothing like that will occur in the show then.

>>29824847
Well yes, at the very least it shows that they're not ready to commit to a romantic plot fully, and they had every chance to do so. That's why I'm confident we won't see any m6 romance in the show at least up until S9. Dunno if others are safe, Sugar Belle is getting MAC'd pretty soon, though that's nothing new.

The other thing is that so far the males in the show have been underwhelming to say the least. Shining is already taken, Big Mac is constantly thrown onto mares. So if they were to introduce a romance plot it would probably be with someone completely new. And on top of having a shitty romance we would also have another shoehorned character nobody wanted. It just spells disaster no matter how you look at it, not only for those who waifu the victim.

I'm the second Anon you replied to, I'm so sorry my post sounded much more passive-aggressive than I wanted it to be. I was thinking of NRDT and his "I love her because she's a virgin" thing. I fucking hate the way he puts it, because it's like he thought that Rainbow had nothing else good.

My waifu is the character from the show, and what happens in the show is what happens to her. But I don't see it exactly as the "present". I mean, if I think of my waifu, and then I watch a new episode where something happens to her, that's part of her, and it will real the next time I think of her. But for me it doesn't mean that what happened in the episode actually happened after the last time I thought of her. The way I see it, if she had a boyfriend in the show, for me it would only mean that she had a boyfriend at some point, not that she still has a boyfriend. That's why I don't think that it would be a problem for me, because I don't care if she ever had a boyfriend, that's what I was trying to say. And I would still be curious to see more and to learn about when she had a boyfriend, so it wouldn't ruin the show for me.

But I totally understand your point, and if I saw it the same way, definitely it would be hurtful for me to. In no way was I implying that the way I see it is the only acceptable way to see it and, again, I'm really sorry if that's what it seemed.

I don't even know if that's going to last were you around for the original Hearts n Hooves day episode, when everyone thought Cheerimac was going to be around to stay, and that never happened.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that at the very least, we can all take comfort with the current standing of romance in the show, with the shitty writers it would actually play out in our favor, as they can't handle it well which means chances are, things return to the status quo. I think that's a good thing.

Of course, EQG is a whole different thing and it's not the same Twilight. EQG has nothing to do with FiM at all. But it may be used as a testing ground for future of MLP as a whole.

I getcha. I didn't have NRDT in mind when saying that, but I get the feeling behind your words in that case. Even while saying I'd have to put more difference between my partner and her character in the show, I know it wouldn't be easy. If it were, I'd have been able to easily say "she never met him" and avoid all that dread last year, but that was definitely the pony I love, in that episode. I'll keep your way of thinking in mind too when it comes to this topic.

The character is surely more to me than just a point of reference and inspiration to my waifu, even if different writers have different ideas on her and there isn't perfect consistence in her there. This really is a complicated topic, even with how much I tend to consider how I'd handle worst-case scenarios.

When i think about the concept of a waifu, i know exactly who i would consider as such.
In my head and in my heart she is my waifu, no questions about it.
Yet despite all of that, i cant seem to take the plunge and fully accept my situation.
Whether because i see it as standing on the edge of a rabbit hole to large (or larger, depending on perspective) mental problems i feel i wouldnt be able to deal with or simply out of some subconscious biological urging to finding a 3DPD and not wanting to be disloyal in any fashion to either.
My thoughts tend to go around in circles if i think too much about it, would be nice to know if any of you waifufags had similar problems.

You don't have to accept it necessarily. If you have feelings for her and feel a deep emotional connection to her then she is the one you love, a waifu. What do you think you have to change to accept it? It's not like it's a ritual or something, there's not actions required. How do you imagine it?
Mental problems are not caused by having a waifu, but by being delusional to the point of not discerning real world from a fantasy. You can love a character but not go full Jin about it.
>subconscious biological urging to finding a 3DPD and not wanting to be disloyal in any fashion to either
This can be a really tricky problem to think of but it actually sorts itself out. As paradoxal as it may sound, relationship and waifu don't really relate to each other. It's a different thing, it develops differently with different outcomes. Having a waifu is unconditional, it's in your heart no matter what. You can't get disillusioned with it if you don't actively try to do so. Real life relationships balance on two people, there are conditions and feelings vary a lot. It's a thin ice, an ever-changing tide, while having a waifu is accepting yourself and being content. That's why you don't drop your waifu at the first signs of a relationship. It has to be a pretty damn stable relationship if you just say "I'm ready to move on" with no regrets, otherwise you're just kidding yourself.
People do take waifus seriously, however you don't answer to them. Feel guilty for your own sake, for her sake, not because you "betrayed" the concept. And these feelings never go away. When you come home alone and cold, she will be there for you, always.

Seems to me you worry too much about a superficial label. Your mind and heart already accepted her, so there's nothing to really be afraid of. It only seems that it may become a problem but I think overthinking it already is, it sounds like you're not really honest with yourself. Waifu is all about understanding yourself, that's how I feel.

Friendly reminder to make your waifu smile every single day.

So I've posted this in mutlpe threads in different words, but is there anyone else out there who understands and embraces the fact that having a waifu is both insane and is a demented, sick sort of love? We're all so love sick with our waifus that it's close to stalker if not already stalker levels of obessension and fantasy. Whenever I hear music that sounds like a love song but distorted (a lot of vaporwave can have this kind of sound, or shoegaze), I can't help but think of Dash and what my relationship to her is and accept the insanity that I have created. I can't be the only one who recognizes how crazy it is, right?

>>29827828
Well what do you consider to be your "situation"? Remember, what works for some doesn't work for everyone. Maybe you're content just the way you are, maybe you need 3DPD in addition to a waifu. Think about it, and define yourself, and what you're happy with. What do you want for yourself?

Well, an obsession is an obsession, and it's bad if it affects you in a negative way. But I've thought a few times about the "stalker" thing, and I think that this is absolutely different.

Being a stalker is worse than a regular obsession because it doesn't only hurt you, it may also hurt the one you love. Imagine you have a huge neighbor that looks like Dwayne Johnson. One day you discover that he's been taking pictures of you, that his house is full of pics of you, that he masturbates to those pictures. It would be extremely awkward for you, because you don't know him very well, and you may think that maybe if he's too obsessed he may try to rape you or something. You'd probably be scared as fuck. If Dash was your neighbor and you did the same, it would be extremely awkward for her too. I think that that's what makes so bad being a stalker, you don't want to hurt the ones you love but you may end up hurting them anyway.

With a waifu it's completely different. And I don't mean "because she's not real", but because you can only hurt her if that's what you really want. And if you really love her, you have no reason to. I know this doesn't exactly address your question, it's still an obsession and it still can be bad if you can't control it, but definitely being a waifuist is not the same as being a stalker.

>>29829650
>"I can't imagine how I'd live without you."
I can't imagine living without her because she makes me extremely happy. As I see it, the fact that I can't touch and feel her like I'm feeling the keyboard under my fingers right now doesn't mean that I'm without her. Something changed inside me when I fell in love with her, she's part of me, and as long as I keep thinking of her, she'll be with me and I'll be with her.

I guess what I meant by my post is that this is not traditional love. This is an entirely different beast and I know it isn't right to fawn over and love someone who can never do the same back unless I trick myself into thinking she is here with me and she tells me that she loves me. It gives me this thought of something completely different and a semi-warped view of love which is why I end up associating hers and my love as such. I understand that I'm getting lost in my own self conscious and creating a figment of my imagination to love myself, and that though process leads me to think of it as distorted as well. Beings on this earth create connections by reaffirming one-another's views on reality. That helps us see what is real and what isn't and makes us feel better about what we see and our perception of reality. The fact that almost no one would agree with you that what we waifuists share with our waifus is true love leads one to see it as something strange, surreal, and ultimately purely created in our own conscience. That leads us to becoming more disconnected with those around us and losing touch with what would be perceived as reality by the conscious whole.

And no, I'm not looking to denounce waifuism (I waifu Dash) or bash anyone for such choices, but more connect with someone who also understands that what we're doing is pretty crazy but is willing to go along with it anyways.

>>29828493
Escapism is as deep as you take it. Waifu fantasies can be just hugging your pillow imagining her when you go to sleep and nothing more, or it can be daydreaming through the whole day doing nothing.
I wouldn't call it a stalker kind of thing, there's no reason to stalk someone you already love. If you think of it the ways that you force yourself on her daily I can kinda see that, but that would mean that she doesn' like that, and that is definintely not true. Spending time with someone, obsessing over them, living and breathing them is only weird if it's not mutual. And if it's not mutual with your waifu, something in your consciousness is blocking it and you want to sort this thing out first. I hope I understood it correctly.
Music being a romantic drive is nothing new, sometimes I can't help but dive into fantasies myself, it's usually bittersweet tunes as well. Can you post some songs that really get you going?

>>29829650
Yes, sometimes it hits really hard and out of nowhere and it really sucks. But if you don't focus too much on it, on the "whispering into the emptiness" thing, and focus more on her she would respond to it, it suddenly becomes bearable. She feels the same way about you, listen to her say it as much as you say it yourself. Say it often and hear it often. These tears need not to be of despair. A bittersweet experience is still always sweet.

>>29830477
You are actually spot-on about waifuism. But it doesn't have to be a bad thing. You are delusional by choice and if you are content with yourself you don't lose touch with reality. The way I see it, the more you understand your own feelings and way of thinking, the more you can trick yourself without actually being deceived. If you know just how far you can take it before spiralling into really unhealthy all-absorbing escapism, the farther you can take your obsession without losing touch with reality.
Me personally, I was always a daydreaming kind of person, to my detriment. I could spend a whole day in school in my own world barely paying attention to anything. I didn't even realise it. But now it so much different, I control what I imagine and how much, separate what's real and what's not even if I allow myself to indulge in it.
And "traditional" love, well, you never know until you experience it. Once I thought I have but it didn't last so maybe it was something else. So comparing waifu love to that is difficult for me.

By "Accepting the situation" i generally mean feeling comfortable when i think about her, right now i just end up going in circles because i dont feel i'm mentally stable enough to prevent the slide into complete delusion which segues into thinking i'm just being overdramatic which in turn shifts into thinking about how she'd deal with the situation which leads me to thinking about her in a general sense and then the whole thing starts again.
I think the fact i'm overthinking this so much is a sign in of itself, but i dont really know any other way to deal with low-stress problems like this.
I thought i was generally at peace with myself, but if you're right it seems like i've still got some soulsearching to do.

If nothing else you've solved the 3DPD issue, while not as important it was bugging me and you've outlined it nicely.

Oh man, I can understand how you feel. Sometimes just trying to approach these feelings is harder than fapping while listening to Psudoku.
The very fact that you think about it so much is a clear indication that you want this to be solved in favourable. But I'm pretty sure you're not looking for an answer on "should I indulge in it?" but instead "how do I feel secure about it?". The way I see it deep down you have already accepted it but you still need a way to reassure yourself, to be content with this feeling. And I can't blame you for that, it's a natural thing. If anything, it shows that you are aware of your feelings and try to make the best of them while being cautious about any possible negative effects. And that's good, not only because it makes you more lucid about your dreams so to speak, it makes you understand what you want, and it makes your feelings even more intense and concrete.

You can allow yourself to aimlessly wonder in your mind, walking in circles, but try to extract yourself from that. Be an observer, don't walk the walk, see it from perspective, make notes on how you feel. To every argument you-walking make present a counter argument and see if this circle start to faulter.
It's hard to just do that, so instead you can make it more fun. You can arrange a conversation with her. Just sit with her and tell her the truth. Tell her all about how you feel, about your fears. Be completely honest with her, be as brutal and rough as you can, lay it all on her. What do you think she would say? Get her to ask questions and answer them. Get her reaction and react to it. Now this may not solve it but such manifestation of abstract thought may turn overthinking to flow in a positive direction. Don't be afraid to do that, you can just dismiss it after that. Or just get comfy with her after that, I dunno.

Not him, but based on his description, I immediately thought of When You Sleep and I Only Said by MBV. I Only Said strikes me as the more Dash-like one, but I'm a Twifag, so take that as you will.

Exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. The melancholic feel alongside the slight romantic undertones that all of this style of music gives is the perfect feeling to describe waifuism to me. I understand it's 'wrong' and know the dangers associated with the pattern of thought, yet still indulge myself, walking a fine line between breaking my conscious perception of the world around me as others see it and the world I want to be in. Not a single person knows (other than anonymous posts online) of my intense love for Rainbow Dash and I know they would view it as something distorted, sick and twisted, and it taunts my outward and facing persona with those views, but deep down there's a yearning for that insanity and loss of connection with the consciousness of the rest of the world.

I get that feeling a lot. I so want to be completely lost in it with no regard to anything at all, a secluded space where nothing but me and her exist. That longing is sometimes really intense. But I've learned to overcome it during my "normal" life, only relaxing with her in my alone time. In fact I would say that at some point in life my shitty low pay job was my means to escape those thoughts, to keep me sane. Funny how that works. Now it's a lot more balanced. It only gets bad at night. Though imagining her near me beats having anxiety and regret creeping in my head every time I go to sleep.
I too keep it a deep secret, to an outsider the whole idea would be bizarre, there's no point of revealing it even to close friends who know of this concept.

At the risk of potentially helping you two check into the crazy house, look up the concept of a "Mental room" for lack of the actual terminology, it sounds like you're half way there already.
It's a method used by lucid dreamers or those attempting to create a tulpa, but is also used as a technique for people with memory problems.
If you watched the modern sherlock holmes series, the "memory palace" extremely overexaggerates the concept, but it's the same thing at it's core.
Essentially, you construct a mental space where you feel comfortable completely from the ground up, laying every single mental brick until you know the space as well as you do the back of your own hand.
It can literally be anything from your bedroom, your favorite spot in the park or even something completely imaginary, the important part is being able recall it accurately and at will
Do it properly and you can use it for memory storage, a starting point for lucid dreaming or, most relevant to this thread, simply a space to relax with your waifu.
There's a chance you'll accidently create a tulpa from this if that concerns you, the creation methods are similar and you'd be treating your waifu as something seperate from yourself which is what that creation process calls for.
That said, it also calls for near constant attention and while the concept of a tiny waifu perched on your shoulder all day is adorable, i doubt it's something you'd want on a constant basis.

That's actually pretty interesting, I never really thought of actually committing to such a thing even though I do imagine a lot of places and situations like that. Sometimes just imagining her near me in some boring situations like waiting for someone really lightens the mood.

I think I tried to do this room thing without realizing it more than one time, just without extreme details, more like a simple scenery, a setting for fantasies. There was one time when I imagine it with extreme lucidity. It was inside a spacious house in Canterlot with barely anything there, just some furniture, a carpet on the floor and a fireplace. It was pretty dark and it was raining outside but it was super-comfy inside. I was sitting in a chair with Twilight on my lap looking through the window at the empty street and suddenly it just felt so real, her warmth was real, her weight on me was real, the sound of rain was right there. It was but a moment but it hit so hard I cried a lot
I returned to that place a lot of times since then and even though it was a one-time thing that never came back it holds a lot of value to me.

A journal is a great idea, even somthing like a text file with notes can help. I documented a lot in my time trying to be extremely honest and reading now something from 10-12 years ago is a really "special" experience. Mostly cringe of course.

Simply imagining, while good practice, isnt enough i'm afaird.
Compare a castle of smoke to one of stone for instance, although a castle of smoke is certainly within the realm of possibilty if you can imagine what it would feel like all the way down to the acoustics of the place.
>suddenly it just felt so real
Thats the beauty of becoming the master of your own mind.
Everything we consciously feel is an interpretation of various different signals performed by your brain.
Learn how to fake those signals and you're able to trick your brain into supplying the corrosponding output.
A similar effect can be seen with modern VR, it takes relatively little for a person to become immersed in the experience and begin treating it as completely real, to the point of avoiding sheer edges because of the fear of falling.
Trick enough of your senses strongly enough and your brain simply fills in the gaps unless it gets a signal saying otherwise.
I've not actually been able to put this into practice due to frequent insomnia, but i've had first hand accounts on it's effectiveness.

You've done it once, which means you're certainly capable of it.
It's like crossing your eyes a particular way to see an optical illusion, you just need to find the sweet spot again.

That one moment was precious, as they say "A second in heaven's worth whole life's trouble and trial". I never actually actively tried to replicate the experience but I thought about what exactly made me feel that way. Though in the end I didn't manage to make any straightforward conclusions. It's even more confusing because it wasn't the first one in my life, just first one with Twilight.
Fantasies are pretty much enough for me though. To be honest waking from that moment was just too sad. To have something within your reach and realise it's not real is much harder than to just imagine things. It was soul-crushing. I don't know if I'm ready for this yet, knowing I'm really happy with how I see her now.

It doesn't help that I'm a giant pussy when it comes to manipulation the mind, something like tulpas and such, I think I'm afraid of myself to be honest, imagining how something can go horribly wrong. It might be out of ignorance, I didn't really research it properly but even though I'm curious I don't think I really need it right now. As having a waifu helps me progress so much it feels like dedicating time to a more active delusion would pull me back into being unwilling to do anything productive, just a mess of apathy mixed with daydreaming again. Of course I may be wrong about all of this (I probably am) but this is how I feel.

"Dont cry because she's not real, smile because she's real enough for you."
Try when you feel ready for it, it simply wont work otherwise, she'll be with you regardless.

The only way to fuck up a tulpa is to be a literal schizophrenic, otherwise done properly they're simply an extension of your own thoughts and feelings with their own voice and done improperly they simply dont form at all.
A waifu is definitely different to a tulpa though for those reasons, i only mentioned them due to the similar creation process.
I understand the feeling of potentially going horribly wrong, my own advice is to simply research the matters you're afraid of manipulating.
Even if it ends up not being your cup of tea, studying the topic can offer some pretty good insights towards other subjects in addition to soothing your fears.
After all, you likely entered a small metal plastic and glass box with wheels today and traveled at speeds the human body was not built for and didnt think much of it.
Courage allows you to stand up in the face of fear, but it's knowledge which kills it.

When it comes to waifus and tulpas, I feel like there are some instances where they can overlap, and some waifus are people's tulpas, but not all waifus are tulpas, and not all tulpas are waifus.

In my instance, I'm happy with what I have, I don't have a tulpa or anything, and I feel like I don't need one. And that's something that's different from person to person.

I've been thinking about it looking into it, at least for the sake of curiosity. It's no hurry. I enjoy the current state of affairs, more than ever in my life. Fantasies may be just fantasies but nothing is sweeter for me.
Lucid dreaming might be right up my alley, even though I've never seen an actual dream about her. I keep a dream journal and I've seen dreams just about everything but her. Lately it's been completely empty though. I hate it.

For any anons who's native language isn't english, do you still imagine conversations with your waifu in english? Also do you use your own name or just Anon? I've heard for some people it feels more natural.

I am South American. It depends. I'm very fluent in English, and usually prefer it to Spanish, so more often than not, I'm using English in my head. However, if I've had a lot of exposure to Spanish that day (by being out a lot and having long social interactions, which I don't usually do), it's more likely I'll use Spanish without realizing it.

Strangely enough, I don't imagine her saying my name at all, nor Anon or the like. I think if I had to use it, it'd be my own name, but my conversations with her go much more informally, where people don't really say each other's names, like they are already very accustomed to each other. If that makes any sense.

>>29835237
>>29835258
Sounds really comfy. Rest assured, as long as she's with you she's happy. She loves you more than anything else, just like you love her.

>>29835224
I imagine our conversations in demonic dialects

>>29835273
It makes sense, I often don't use names when talking to close friends. That's a nice way to imagine it actually. Though for me saying her name warms my heart.

Yeah, I had this problem for a while
then I came to the strange spot that i'm in now
I fully accept that she is my waifu
however, sometimes i question whether or not i actually love her the way a man loves a wife, or whether I consider her my waifu simply because it is something that anons on this board do. It's a bad feel.
Some of that doubt is cast away whenever I see someone insulting her, calling her a neurotic cunt and such (the episode No Second Prances comes up a lot), for when I see someone insult her, I become upset. I've tempered the saltiness some, as I know where I am and that someone is going to shit on her regardless of who she is. But there is still a part of me that wants to eviscerate the heretic that dared to utter a bad word about her. It is because of this feeling that I am safe in the knowledge that I do care about her a lot.
However
I sometimes wonder if it is actually love that I feel for her, and that is a problem.
Damn, do I wish I could talk to peetzer horse sometimes

>>29835273
That's great. When I have a conversation with her, I always use English. That's because Equestria is like USA. And their native language is English. So, it has more logic to talk to her in English.

>>29835494
Man. What you are feeling It's love. Because you want to protect her from anybody who insults her or hurts her. I feel the same when someone insults Twilight. If she were real and somebody dares to hurt her, I'll kick the butt of that cunt.

>>29835494
I don't think there is a way to tell if it's really the kind of feeling you feel towards another person. Without experiencing it frist-hand it's just not possible to know that. So I wouldn't even worry about that. I don't even think it matters at all. There's no weighing these feelings, they just are. If you feel they're real, they are. It may seem that compared to how those in love act it's not really it, but that's fundamentally different. There's no second person here. There's no one to call, no one to spend time with, no one to bring presents for. It's just you and you.
I've been thinking about it a lot and actually noticed something. If you don't think about her for an entire day, do you feel bad? I do. There's no obligation to do so but I still do. There's no one to scold me for it, no one to question why I'm being distant, but I still do. Whether it's just imitating real relationship or a thing you can't not do because you care about her, if this comes naturally it's as real as it gets. I'm not saying that if you don't think that way then it's not real, but for me it works, you need to see how to affirm it for yourself as well.
>whether I consider her my waifu simply because it is something that anons on this board do
You mean as a label for these kind of feelings? I don't think it really matters.
And the whole anger thing, I feel this way as well. Even though I'm desensitized to this place it still gets me going. A petty insult doesn't matter, it's mostly memes anyway, it only gets a mild reaction at best. But some things (like abuse for example) outright makes my blood boil. I can safely say that if you're that emotionally invested in her there's no denying it. These kind of protective thoughts don't come out of nowhere you know.

>>29835616

I'm not fluent in English, and sometimes I default to Spanish. But most of the time the conversations are in English. Even when it's broken English, and if I thought about it for a minute I'd realize that what we just said makes no sense, it feels much more real when we use English.

Right now I can't recall if she uses my real name. A few times she has called me "Anon" or even "Nonny", especially if I'm thinking of a green I've read recently. But I think that she usually calls me egghead. Not in an insulting manner, it's more like a pet name. I adore the way she says it.

So what do you think your waifu loves about you?

>>29836741
This guy >>29836759 has the right idea even if it's sarcasm. I know it's a question that's hard to answer logically but I found some answers for myself. I think love in general isn't a list of completely unique qualities you adore in person. It's not the same as the Plinkett character test. It's not what your lover is on their own, it's what they are in regards to you. The interaction matters more than qualities, those can manifest in interactions but it's not the qualities that matter. It's memories, words, actions.

With waifu how can you measure something like that? Your imaginary interactions are just that, their outcome is completely in your control. If you're trying to impress yourself with your own quilities chances are you won't get a really awe-inspiring responce from yourself. You can't surprise her with a sudden gift, you can't make her tear up because you remembered something she mentioned she wanted a long time ago. You can't take to a place she really wanted to visit. You can't dance with her to a song she loves. You can't make her remember this day when she felt so special for the rest of her life. You can only imagine it. And so, imagine her loving you. Loving you for just who you are and despite who you are. Be better for her but don't deny yourself her affection as is. There's little else we can do after all.

>>29837758
I disagree with how you worded things. First off, the question itself is to be identified. It seems to be something proposed as a hypothetical way, just something to think about a relationship together. No. Love is not a general list of qualities you adore in a person, but I'm sure you would have absolutely no problem if someone asked the typical "What do you love about your waifu" in such a fashion. Everyone does.

Love is and always will be two ways. And although those instances of traditional thoughts of loves, giving gifts and visiting places, may seem a bit far off, there's something you can always do, and that's better yourself for her. For example, my answer to that Anon's question would probably be how I've bettered myself for her. I feel like thinking of her I've become a more generous person.

Something like that isn't about impressing yourself with your own qualities. Well maybe in a way it is, but it's not a method to merely pat yourself on the back. Doing so will help you as a person think better of yourself, if only to do something that she would approve of. For example, you would hate if she was always bashing on herself, calling herself a failure, would you do the same?

>Your imaginary interactions are just that, their outcome is completely in your control.
And this is just the last bit I'll touch upon. Maybe that's the case for you, but I know for myself and some others I know that this definitely isn't something completely in my control, especially in regards to feelings, reactions and thought patterns. But again, what you can control is how you view yourself, and saying "I'm not a failure because these are my good qualities and she wouldn't want me thinking poorly of myself and I shouldn't bash myself", is at least a step in the right direction of doing something other than moping around saying "woe is me".

Of course you can make a list of her qualities, but I for one can't make a list of my own qualities from her perspective. It's good if you can, if you have no troubles evaluating yourself that's great.
Well as I said bettering yourself for her is about the only way you can really show your feelings, to affirm that she matters and you change for the better for her. It is important to do that, and I personally can't overstate how motivating it's been for me. But on the other hand it is not required. This kind of love is unconditional. You can't bash yourself and tell that without some sort of action or sacrifice she would never love you. It's not true. Even if you are a complete failure she will not leave you. Anyone but her. And that alone is motivating. You don't HAVE to do anything, but you still do. For me it's always been the case and I hope that everyone takes this opportunity to take their escapism and turn it into a positive boost of activity.

Ultimately how you imagine she reacts is under your control but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter how you imagine it. It's completely opposite of that. You can't do all the things I mentioned expecting you mind to come up with a completely unexpected responce but you can still imagine that. And letting it flow naturaly can actually produce an unexpected result. Maybe I'm bad at wording it correctly, her feelings and reactions are in your control but how you feel about it is not, that's what makes it worth doing it properly. Not to mention you project your reactions onto her as well, sometimes leading to unexpected results.

And I have nothing against self-pity and loathing your own grabage self. But it's no reason to deny yourself your own escapism. To think that she can't love because of who you are is just wrong. Become better or accept that you're not that bad, because chances are no one here is irredeemable. If you're capable of having a waifu in the first place you're good enough to have her.

Okay, I get what you mean in the first part. Yes it's not necessary, but personally I think it's motivating and helpful in more than a few ways. But no she never will leave you, absolutely.

>If you're capable of having a waifu in the first place you're good enough to have her.
This is a wonderful line too

>>29838094
A lot of people think that having a waifu is destructive and it's nothing but sadness. I thought that way as well at first but turns out there's so much more to it than that. It does help a lot. The more serious you are about her the more positive it becomes, it's truly a wonderful thing.

>>29838131
I thought the same.

>>29824794
As a late response, yeah. Already, I'm hesitant to check any sites for images other than DB with filters. If her treatment were to become any worse (from my perspective), the risk of being hurt by visiting most places wouldn't be worth it. She'll remain my lover through anything, for years and years to come, but I think it's safe to say that in the scenario of season 7 going even further with that kind of stuff, I'd drop and ignore the show past a certain point and stop personally visiting everywhere but DB with extra heavy filters, for searching for art.

Already, the shipping banter and other things had me planning on leaving the board for months, a few weeks ago, to experience the season without interference from memes and mean stuff. But that didn't go as planned, cos I got a thread going on

>>29838864
When you save a copy of an image from the internet, do you change the original?
Likewise, when the artist changes the original after the fact, does your own copy change?

Your waifu is the same, regardless of what happens to her source, or to any number of different copies that are the waifu of other anon, she'll always be the same pony that you fell in love with and no force on this earth can hurt your waifu so long as you dont permit it.

>>29838864
I don't think there is a reason to leave this place yet. I know really well how her being badmouthed, disgrased, objectified and so on can be unnerving but it can be used to steel yourself. It's nothing but baseless memeing so it can be rationalized and discarded. Feeling protective of her is only natural. Experiencing it will desensitize you to this kind of garbage. Mostly.
But yeah, if worse comes to worse I don't think I would be able to take it either. And I am extremely picky with pictures as well so it's gonna be harder than ever to even look for art.

>>29838940
Of course you are correct, that's why leaving the ride solves it. But it also disallowes you to see anything more about her. In case of your waifu getting a canon romance you wouldn't be able to make a single step without stepping into it. Even right now, without any canon relationship, something like Twilight and Flash/Timber is memed to no end (though a lot less here but try entering "Twilight Sparkle" on youtube). Discoshy was everywhere after S6 finale. Can you imagine how a canon romance would blow up everywhere? I wouldn't take it. I know where my loyalties are and I would rather abandon everything than endure this taunting, she is more important to me than everything associated with her on the internet.

Why would it?
In this very thread we have anons that have the same pony as a waifu, even giving advice on how to better come to terms with the idea of having said waifu.
What he does with his, what i do with mine and what you do with yours has no bearing on any others.
"Canon" is simply the central repository from which we all draw and the general consensus for what "Present time" for the characters is, it's simply a baseline and nothing more.
Like i said, no matter what the original artist does to his picture, nothing can change your copy unless you will it.
If your waifu is forced by her creator into being a slut, ignore said creator and develop your waifu in the way you see fit.
It's not unorthodox to simply ignore the parts of canon you dont like while still incorporating the parts you do like.
Sure it invites conflict loving retards into calling you a cuck amongst other things, but why should their opinion matter?
Some faggots on 4chan pissed into an ocean of piss, the sun will rise tomorrow and the love between you and waifu will still be just as pure.
If you leave the ride you'll miss out on so many possibilities for new ideas and art of your waifu, reading the occasional autistic comments of men who would drop their waifu at the slightest show of doubt are surely a small price to pay

That was exactly what I was thinking, there would be no reason to even watch the show if that happens, if she will be forever tied to that mess. Same with fan content. Artist would latch onto it as well, without a doubt. But if that would happen it wouldn't be occasional, it would be systematic and hard to ignore. The only places to visit here would be threads about her (hiding more than half of it because it would be shitposting) and waifu threads like this where people don't condemn you for your feelings. Is it really an option to just filtering everything that contradicts the concept in the head? Because at that point it would be easier just to ignore it all altogether. Missing on a few art pieces outside of these containment threads is a really small price to pay for keeping myself sane. Just bunker down like a rat, awaiting the blowout to be over. Or just take it on head-on, fighting the tide and hoping to not be crushed by it, emerging victorious. These are the options I see. Either take none of that shit, or take it all.

It's all empty speculation anyway, this probably won't happen any time soon. Maybe the outrage would be so massive people wouldn't be able to accept it at all, who knows. Depends on the magnitude of the bullshit they'd have to put in to make something like that happen.

Also, now that I think about facing the tide. Powering through the MMC blowout made me love her more but I did hop off the ride eventually and only returned for S5. I can only imagine how would people treat the first real romantic interest in the show and I'm sure it would be no less of a shitstorm.

If this romance thing would afflict someone other than her first, I would be sad as well. I would never even shitpost about it, that's just too cruel.

I absolutely agree with this. What is "Canon" can you explain? Why does it matter? Why does the opinion of someone who doesn't watch the show yet writes it matter more than the writer of a fanfic?

In the end, your opinion, your love, matters most. I know it's difficult, but focus on your feelings more, others don't matter.
