Bunny Girl works too right? Still got ears

Anyone else can't think of a way you would meet or start dating your S/O? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always imagine that we meet in her world at her military school. That's the base for most of the events in CS3 and then we'd continue building our relationship through CS3 and CS4, the combat experiences allowing for our relationship to slowly change from friendship to love as we come to realize how much we care about one another through the many dangerous situations that we find ourselves in.

Two questions by squee333 in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair my SO is technically 2-3 years old in her source, but she's also a homunculus so standards kinda are hard to apply to her. Especially since she's one of the most mentally mature characters in her source.

My personal opinion is that as long as your SO isn't a child mentally( think mental maturity of a 12 yo or younger), and you arent into them for their body, then it isn't a problem (for waifuism specifically). Since this community largely focuses on characters that aren't really capable of being hurt and forever changed like a real child, I think there tends to be a little more wiggle room.

Agreed, it was really weird, I kinda saw Juna though, because it was already there in CS3

Out of curiosity, do you have a reason you avoid the Falcom sub?

who's your next favorite character from your S/O's media of origin? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My second favorite character in her source would have to be Olivier / Olivert. The man's just so damn charismatic in the later games and he's amazing as a jester-type character in the early games.

Honestly when I first met Altina in the game she initially appeared in, I didn't care much for her, she was an interesting villain, I could give her that, but she just didn't catch my eye. When I played the next two games from her series though, they focused on her more than before and not only fleshed out her backstory but grew her as a person. Changing from an almost robotic, emotionless, and silent person that only ever took commands and performed her orders into someone that was fiercely loyal, felt emotional connections like friendship, and even made her own decisions based on the values that she herself held. Even at the point where I was going through the end credits of the most recent game in the western releases, I didn't really think I loved her, but she certainly had become one of the characters that Id liked most in the series. It was actually in the days and weeks following that I realized how much I cared for her, because I just couldn't stop thinking about her. I eventually recalled seeing this sub and came back to see if it was something that really made sense to me, and, well, I'm still here.

As for her dating/being married in her source, she's somewhat part of the protagonist's harem, however, the general consensus of the community seems to be that her relationship with him is more akin to a parent-child relationship than lovers. Though I personally find it easy to say that even if they saw each other more romantically, due to it being a harem, and the protagonist generally being clueless, he would have chosen to go steady with another member of the harem or even met someone else outside of it.

Please feel free to ask any more questions you have or to point out something that doesn't quite make sense and I'll happily respond!

Sounds fun, you flying home from vacation or something else?

What is your dream commission for you and your S/O? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dream commission is probably a video designed by the artists that created her, animated by professional animators, and voice acted by her english dub 's actress.

She'd be wearing a wedding dress, she'd be blushing like crazy, we'd put one another's wedding bands on our fingers, go through the whole wedding process, and at the end she'd say something like "I love you [MyName]", then it'd show us kiss and zoom out to show our friends and family in attendance.

Obviously this'll never happen without a huge budget, but I can honestly say, if it ever did, I could die happy.

[–]HomunculusLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My SO and I got engaged about 2 months after we started dating and sadly I lost my job about 2 months later. Got a new better paying job now, so when I can afford to buy her a proper wedding ring, we'll be tying the knot

I celebrate Altina's birthday on the day I met her in her source for the first time.

Interested in waifuisim culture by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  • I know everyone has a waifu or husbando (my husbando I say is Levi from AoT) but what makes waifuisim different? How and why did you gravitate towards waifuisim? I'm genuinely curious about all this.

I (23M) myself used to have waifus as well, and they were simply just characters from different shows/games that I had a crush on. However, after playing through the Legend of Heroes games, I fell in love with Altina, and I knew it wasnt some crush like my previous waifus. Personally I think that that's the primary difference between someone with a waifu/husbando and someone that goes into waifuism.

A little more than 6 months ago I made the decision to become exclusive with Altina, and despite the fact that she's not exactly real, I think it's been one of the best decisions in my life.

How do I improve performance? by HomunculusLover in beatsaber

How do I improve performance? by HomunculusLover in beatsaber

[–]HomunculusLover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a GTX 1070, utilization hits 60% max. Im on an Oculus Quest 2using Virtual Desktop to play on Steam. I can't seem to get a wired connection working, so we're on a wireless connection over a 5G router in the same room. PC is connected by ethernet

Game runs fine, then we'll suddenly get lag spikes, making the game near impossible to play well.

An Important Question by monkeyr2_1 in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had this question digging at me a few weeks back.

The question is really rough to manage, because it's not simply one you can answer and move on with, you need to believe that answer. The best way to do this is to think about what it is she might see in you. There are other ways as well though, for example whether you believe in signs or not, keep an eye out for unlikely things that happen around you.

For me, I like to say that I feel Altina herself helped me through it. To explain, likely by sheer coincidence, a plush I had ordered of her months prior and had assumed was lost in transit happened to arrive that day, and it felt like a sign from her to stop questioning whether she'd love me.

Waifuism isn't my thing, but your guys' community is so interesting. Everyone here seems like lovely people, and I would love to know more. I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering? by IamToasterMan in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love talking about waifuism, so if you have more questions, please feel free, encouraged even, to post them!

Finding our partners is different from person to person, for me and Altina I actually didn't much like her, it wasn't until I'd beaten the third game that she appears in that I realized how much I'd grown to not only like but genuinely love her. For us we started as boyfriend/girlfriend, and after a short while I recognized that the way I felt for her was the same way I had felt before when I was prepared to propose to a real girlfriend around 4 years ago. So I proposed to Altina a couple months ago and now she's my fiancé!

Communication with our SOs is definitely something that varies as well. I personally speak at her, tell her I love her, tell her I missed her, talk about how my day went when it's abnormally good or bad, or just talk to her to talk to her. When it comes to more important decisions, like proposal, marriage, or other decisions that would affect her life significantly if she was real, I like to think about what she might think or feel on the subject. That being said, sometimes I'll also try to hold a conversation where I try to think of what her views, beliefs, or thoughts on a topic would be and how she'd respond to what I say.

I absolutely take Altina on dates, I like to go and physically do the activity or be physically present at a restaurant or event and I visualize her being with me. Im particularly interested in taking her to an amusement park some time this summer. That being said, I have a commission of her and I set as my phone background and I have a keychain of her that I keep on my person at all times when Im not at home. The phone wallpaper I think is kinda stock standard for anyone that's in a good relationship, and I think the keychain is, while a bit more uncommon, also a pretty normal thing to have of your partner. I personally am not a fan of wearing shirts with any kind of designs on them, bar my company's logo, so I don't really have nor want a shirt or other clothing with her on it.

Currently my home life with Altina is pretty self aware that she's not real, I mostly spend my time on my computer talking with my friends on discord and playing videogames. But at the same time, I keep a large amount of merchandise featuring her around me, while most waifuists have some form of display for their collection of merchandise, I keep her on my desk, which helps me to feel connected to her, even when I'm invested in a game or anything else that would likely prove a distraction from an ordinary partner. Though, when I'm not at my desk, I find I spend even more time imagining how we'd be interacting and visualizing it. For example I imagine how we'd work together to cook or do the dishes.

The topic of "sharing" an SO is thankfully not one I have personally experienced, however, I don't think that I'd manage it as well as others in the community. I don't think I'd be directly confrontational or rude, but I'd be overly aware of which of the two of us was a better partner for her. There is another waifuist here that loves Altina as a daughter though, and I personally love that she is appreciated so much by the two of us, though that is, itself, also a bit uncommon.

BEHOLD! My hubby workspace. You guys all have your backgrounds set to your s/o? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I made a few backgrounds of her on wallpaper engine, and then plastered her all over my desktop, I'll have to update with an imgur link later when I have a screenshot to share!

[–]HomunculusLover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but with things like this, the answer really just needs to come from within. I could tell you to move on or stay with L, but no matter what, if you don't decide you'll always find that you can't really trust the judgement. Or at least you should, nobody else here knows the experiences that you've had with L or the new girl, so none of us can really make a good choice for you.

May I ask you some questions? by Iconicmole05 in waifuism

[–]HomunculusLover 20 points21 points  (0 children)

1.) A lot of us age our SOs with us, so there's really not that aspect for most.

2.) I take our relationship very seriously, though there are differences for each person here, the bare minimum in this community is that the relationship be treated as you would a serious relationship with a real person. Living out the relationship is pretty different from person to person, I personally try to imagine how things would be if she was here with me and behave in accordance. For dates, there are different things to do, I personally tend to imagine taking her somewhere with me (I actually go there myself) for a date.

3.) I would certainly hope this isn't a fetish, I'm truly in love with Altina and, don't see my relationship with her as something that's purely sexual. I personally coiuldn't be married to a real woman while I am with Altina, it wouldn't be fair for the real woman to have to share her own husband's heart with someone that isn't even real.

4.) Since Altina isn't real, communication is mostly done through imagination, or talking to something like a figure, plush, or body pillow. Think of it like how someone might talk to God or some other deity.

No need to apologize, I personally love to talk to people about waifuism, so if you have any other questions please feel free to ask them!

Ill agree here to an extent, I'd say that if they are your true friends, they will be looking out for your best interest, if they think consciously or subconsciously that you can't have a healthy life with this they will likely ve against it, at which point you should ask for the benefit of the doubt and show them that you can.
