/mai/ - Waifu

For my Tenryu, that character would be Tatsuta. Seeing as they're the same class ship and were built and deployed at around the same time, I see them having a sister or best friend relationship. It's not confirmed in canon as far as I know I know if they are sisters, but they might as well be.

I honestly use to completely hate her before. I didn't like design half as much as Tenryu's and just found her presence quite annoying, especially since she was always with Tenryu. I also hated seeing all the art of them together, especially the romantic or lewd ones, to the point that some even made me uncomfortable to look at.

Recently I've grown more fond of her, I like the idea that they're sisters and respect that they would more than likely have a close bond. I'm actually pretty happy that she would have a close friend like that. Still hate shipping art of them together though.

I'm always complaining so I might as well post in an appropriate thread.

It's obviously Yoko. Now i understand why there's all the shipping not that i understand the point of shipping I am aware of whats going on on the show and it doesn't bother me at all, but it gets annoying when you can't mention Aya without people going all into Yoko shipping. Not that I listen to the fanbase but it still gets on my nerves.

And also there's so little amount of art of Aya and at least half of the pics are ship pics with Yoko don't even get me started on the lewds and its always the better drawn ones.

I think the very concept of shipping is stupid and pointless. I honestly don't get it, whats the purpose, how do you gain satisfaction by shipping, its beyond me.

It doesn't bother me deeply or emotionally , it's just VERY annoying.

Also I like Yoko just like I like the other girls and she's still Ayaya's best friend so obviously I like her too.

It's usually Painwheel she's shipped with.

I mean, it's pretty obvious, based on the fact that Filia uses her one wish on the Skullheart to give Painwheel a normal life in her story.

>Is there any canon material supporting one of the two has a romantic/sexual interest in the other?

Not at all. During her normal life, pre-amnesia, and Samson, and everything, Painwheel, whose actual name is Carol, I should mention. was on of her only close friends.

I don't mind it, personally. The pictures that aren't outright romantic are usually adorable.

Well it's really only MC/feMC. MC/feMC even has a wedding with her in o0ne ending for CCC as a sorta Last Episode thing like Arturia got, but this is in like Nero's Domus Aurea in the Moon Cell. Nasu could have done better but he's a fag.

But, she gets shipped a lot with others cause "loltypemoonXD" but I don't mind the artwork is pretty nice and it's just fanart, not official, so whatever. Some of the pictures of her and Gilgamesh together are really good. I fucking hate Gilgamesh. He deserves every piece of shit he eats. There's kind of a cute image set of her and him having a little family so mini umus, but I don't got room to post it. The ones of her and MC are usually really super cute, the ones of her and femmc and usually really pretty. She gets paired with Arturia with her shoving her face into her umus boasting. And her and Liz get paired cause Nero wants to do things to Liz and they're both "idols". Plus they killed lots of people. So…

I'm not sure if it's "shipping" but there's a lot of pics of my waifu with her sister.

It doesn't really bother me, they're siblings after all

In the case of Marisa, that would be many people in Gensokyo and, for a series that has a majority of female characters, that's an astonishing accomplishment. The only one matching this feat of hers in the fandom is the person most likely to be an item with her canonically, Rinnosuke, since he's the only notable male in the series.

Thus, I don't pay it mind.

Like 1/2 of all Luka pics have Miku in them.

Most nsfw Luka pics have Miku in them.

She is rarely shipped with other Vocaloids.

I don't hate shipping in general. I don't like it when she does "things" with other man, but I'm ok with it, I don't need to look at it and I can ignore it.

I don't have a problem with Yuri shipping.

I'm different to other waifufags in the point that she doesn't need to be pure and untouched for me. I had a girlfriend before her and I'm ok with her having a boyfriend/girlfriend before me.

I spend some time on /u/ so I can understand that people want to ship chars. I'm ok with it because I can ignore things I don't like.

It would be harder for me if she had a shitty MC as canon love interest.

>tfw your the only person your waifu has been shipped with

Feels good man

Mai waifu is often shipped with a particular character. Such an… interesting relationship I have with her.

GENERIC TSUNSHIT GET FUCKED

HOW THE FUCK COULD ANYONE EVER LIKE YOU

I HOPE YOU DIE ALONE IT'S ALL YOU DESERVE

FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF DIE DIE DIE DIE

GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY WAIFU BITCH

YURISHIT SHIPPERS BURN IN HELL

I don't do the whole fandom thing, so I don't know much outside of digging for any art I can find of my husbando.

I've only ever seen one ship and it's him and Wonder Blue. I don't mind really, I can self insert easily with him. I sometimes get jealous though so I keep shipping art in it's own folder.

I like Blue! He's funny. So I don't have anything to vent about. I've yet to see anything off character or that just had him using Red or something. I don't think he'd be that type of guy even if he is kind of a dick.

I'd probably only get mad if it was some random character who Red never interacted with or that only wanted to hurt him. But I've never seen that.

Canonly, he has a crush on a another character, I've seen somewhat shipping art of him with her but nothing really major. I like her too though, I have a lot in common with her in a couple of ways so if there ever was anything I'd probably be able to self insert even easier than I do with Blue. I don't have anything against the character he has a crush on, she's a good person and helps him, and I just think of it as meaning that hey I guess I'd be his type because as I said I'm similar to her.

Meiko is probably the most popular to be shipped with Kaito. To be fair, both of their voice banks were developed to complement each other, so this ship makes the most sense out of all the others. There's a ridiculous amount of lewds of the two that I keep stumbling upon and I'd rather not see since they look pretty into each other. I don't hate Meiko and I definitely wouldn't hate her because she is often shipped with Kaito, I just don't like the pairing. If they're in the same picture together, I don't mind and it won't keep me from saving it, but I don't like seeing them act coupley together, those I won't save. Those types of pictures won't ruin my whole day if I see a few. Lewds and other pictures that show them kissing or a little too friendly make me feel pretty crappy. It's not so much the pairing most of the time, but the facial expressions that the artist uses that makes them look like they're head over heels for each other and it makes me feel like I'm taking him away from her. I think the reason that pairing him with Meiko opposed to Miku or Len gets more under my skin is because that's the most realistic pairing, especially age wise. Plus Meiko and I look similar, so it's like she's the better, more talented version of me and he'd probably like her more appearance wise. Sometimes I think that maybe him and Meiko dated in the past and it didn't work out but they're still friends and co-workers. That idea I really don't mind, especially since I've had other partners before him and I can't expect him to have never been with anyone else before me. Mostly it just gets very irritating when people can't enjoy the individual products for their intended purpose and are overly focused on shipping software mascots, which is mainly why I don't partake in the fandom.

Seeing her shipped with other characters does tend to bother me. Mainly when it's in a romantic/loving way, the purely sexual shipping doesn't really bother me so much. I guess it's that thick jealous streak in me that flairs up whenever I see her being lovey-dovey with someone else.

The ones that bother me the most (and are the most common) are Cody, Adon, and Ryu. I see a lot of these and I can feel my blood boil when I come across them. in fact, the only reason I saved these images were for this thread not only do these images bother me on a personal level, they make very little sense…

Adon and Juri have nothing in canon to support a relationship, hell she even talks about how insanely annoying he is when she beats him in Arcade. Not possible.

Ryu and Juri makes zero sense; yeah I get that, in canon, she enjoys fighting him and all the other shoto's more than anyone else but Ryu isn't into evil people, in fact he hates the fact that the potential for an evil version of himself even exists. No way this one would happen.

Cody and Juri is the only one I find feasible. hell, in my headcanon they dated briefly before I came into the picture However, there is one flaw in the logic for this relationship and ultimately why it ended in my headcanon, Cody's personality. Juri finds his always bored personality boring (go figure) this is stated in her win quote in arcade mode against him. She calls him an "emo loser". Another thing I want to add to this is Cody already has a canon girlfriend, Jessica, whom he still cares for even though she left him to study abroad in England before the events of SF4.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a couple pictures to delete from my HDD. [/rant]

Lucky dog.

Now I'm interested, who's your waifu and who is she paired with?

Some pics with Yuyuko can get a bit shippy but I'm not really bothered by them given like 90%+ of them can be safely ignored considering their relationship. Yuyuko's sort of like a mother and they clearly care a lot for eachother. The ones that are really shippy I won't save but I don't tend to get annoyed.

I do for some reason unexplainable to me find her being shipped with Reisen infuriating. Maybe it's just that it's out of nowhere, maybe it's that it seems to be coming from the same section of the fanbase that likes to occasionally make her out to be some kind of perv. Thankfully both sections of Youmu's fans are fairly small so I'm not bombarded with it.

She's arguably paired up with Eli the most, and seeing how she's the first friend she made at Otonokizaka she's the most closest to her.

>How do you feel about the character and their relationship to your waifu/husbando?

It's clear that the two of them are important to each other. I honestly don't think it could never work out mostly because in the beginning of the series they seem far too codependent on each other. Eli was far too focused on trying to save the school on her own and needed to learn that she could trust other people besides Nozomi and Nozomi herself was probably aware of it, as well as just secretly wanting to support others in her own way.

>Is there any canon material supporting one of the two has a romantic/sexual interest in the other, and if so how do you view/deal with it?

Outside of Garden of Glass I really hate that song and some lines out of supplementary material that can be seen as such, I don't think the series never really shows them as outright romantic. Yeah there's teasings and such but nothing that explicitly states it unless you have yuri goggles or something.

>Does it bother you a lot or do you pay no mind?

It kinda bothers me, if only because a lot of stuff depicts them as only caring for each other when that is not the case in canon. I mean Nozomi practically helped formed Muse and Eli was cold towards everyone else at first, but once she saw how serious they were about saving the school she stopped being like that and slowly more open to the others. I hate it when people don't ever take into account how much the others have allowed them to grow as characters.

I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but far too many treat Nozomi/Eli as nothing more than obsessed lesbian lovers than the actual characters they are, which does a disservice to both of them since I really like them.

OH BOY, HERE WE GO

In case you are somehow completely unfamiliar with the Madoka Magica fanbase, probably the most commonplace type of fan among them, or at least the most vocal, are shippers. Among all the possible ships you can make, the most common one BY FAR is the one between my waifu and Kaname Madoka. A lot of people tend to mistake their great friendship for love, which I can already disprove pretty easily

>4th pic, if there was romantic love than its clearly not mutual, especially evident in the ending to Rebellion

>there are different forms of love other than romantic love, such as the love one feels for their friends

>there's actually official supporting material that states Madoka is actually attracted to men and wants to get married one day

https://wiki.puella-magi.net/100_Questions

>Do you have any marriage desires?

"Would be nice if I can find a cool husband like [that resembles] my Mama… "

>Has anyone ever asked you out?

When I was in kindergarten, Mitsuru-kun from the Chick class…no, I'm too embarrassed (to tell)!

and then we get into common arguments for the ship

>b-but Homura said it was love that helped her do the things she did!

See above about my point on love

>b-but there's all this promotional art as "evidence" they're into each other like that. You're in denial!

promo art=canon. If it was then this picture of her as a computer fan thing actually happened, which is just absurd. There's a different reason why the promo art and other supporting material is made as vague as it is, and that's because it allows SHAFT to make as much money as possible by covering all their demographics.

The main reason any of it even upsets me at all is because it insults the relationship Madoka and Homura actually had and these forced ships have actually gone so far as change their personalities to make them work. The fanon version of Homura is basically Benio Yonomori from Mikakunin de Shinkokei, who's basically a gag character who's entire shtick is acting like a turbo-lesbian for all you that didn't know. Those shippers turning the sweet, innocent and kind Madoka into this sadist dominatrix is bad enough, but seeing these tumblr blogging, ice cream binge eating, exercise avoiding, acne popping, outdoors avoiding, meme spouting, middle school attending, half-assed cosplay wearing, adult contemporary listening, trigger warning, fat acceptance-ing, shower skipping WASTES OF OXYGEN mistreat a character I love like that makes me want to break out some ice-picks and do some forced lobotomies! GOD, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS THREAD, OP?!

This is who my waifu is going to get and I'm actually fine with it, she deserves a nice guy. It's obvious they like eachother in both the manga and anime, especially with Revy being jealous of him and Feng. I've seen a few doujins of them together.

I deal with it just fine, me and Rock would actually be prob good friends and shit, so whatever happened with them, I'd be happy

>>37079

Kino is mostly shipped with Shizu (pic related).

In the anime, they have a very disconnected relationship, in the light novel however, they have an ambiguous relation with one another.

The first time the novels imply a possiblity of a relationship is when she hugs his head and looks long into his eyes, they then go their seperate ways.

They meet another time and place, but Kino only remebers the name of his dog, but not Shizu's name; I guess it's she shy way of flirtation? But I'm not really sure.

Shizu's relation to Kino is that he basicly doesn't know what to do whit his life, he lost his one goal of revenge when Kino killed his father, with no plans for the future, he wants to join Kino on her journey, but she refuses saying something like, a person's journey is something they go on alone.

Shizu feels lost without Kino's guidance, but Kino wants him to be a man for himself one who knows what it is he truly wants and stand up for it.

So basicly, I'm fine with the shipping because I relate very much to Shizu, I'd even say I self insert as him at times. I feel very lost if not for Kino's guidance, I mean if not for her, I would have lost a number of my closest friends, and would have killed myself if not for her.

Thank you Kino….

She gets shipped with a bunch of characters, but Wriggle seems to be the most popular. They never interact in canon, it's just based on Yuuka controlling flowers and Wriggle controlling bugs. I don't really like it, but I don't get upset with most shipping. It's usually easy enough to self-insert, though.

I mostly see Patchouli paired with Marissa, Remilia, and Koakuma. Remilia is Patchouli's best friend, but that's it. As for Marissa, it seems like Patchouli starts out not liking her at all, but ended up being friendly with. Then there really isn't much to say about Koakuma, since she literally has no dialogue, no character, and even no name.

But really, none of the shipping bothers me TOO much. I remember in some interview ZUN essentially said that shipping was dumb and none of the characters were in a relationship because they're "too pure." So yeah, all Touhou shipping is confirmed non-canon.

>>37151

I know that feel bro.

Spoilers ahead, but I don't think it'll matter much

The funny thing is that she's technically married now in her series, but it doesn't even make me have second thoughts now. At first it bothered me and got on my nerves, but not any longer, if anything now that I look back on things I kind of laugh on it at all. Why should I be bothered by a spineless 3rd son of an IJA officer? Really now, I think Victorique would be ashamed of me if I felt any jealously over someone as lowly as him.

I've gone about it before in other threads, but to put it simply, he's a plot device and nothing else in my mind. He's not integral or even unique to his story despite being a "main character". He cannot survive as a character without her, but she can do just fine without him. In fact their romance was due to circumstance, literally any other competent male between the ages of 14-26 could have stumbled upon her in the tower, treated her with some respect, and would have had her fall in love with them. As such, their romance is extremely forced and therefore bears no legitimacy. She never even tells him that she loves him either, the poor deluded boy.

On another level, his personality ranges from spineless lapdog to arrogant spoiled boy, with little area in between. A terrible personality coupled with his sub-par care/ability to man up for Victorique makes him a terrible love interest. Not to mention he can't even pronounce her name correctly either, I literally cannot think of a worse crime than that.

>"Gee, the girl I like is in trouble? I know, I'll scream her name at the top of my lungs and run around after her before getting deported, rather than taking on the evil mastermind behind her constant disappearances!"

Nice try there buddy, but you let her mother die AND failed to prevent the second world war from happening as well, so add a couple million deaths in there too. Sure did enjoy freezing your ass off in Russia before getting your legs blown off and bleeding to death, right? Bravo Kujo Kazuya, just bravo.

So no, seeing her shipped with Kujo doesn't bother me one bit anymore, if anything I find it an insult to her rather than to myself. Funnily enough, there's much, much more art of just her than with the both of them together, so that should tell you how important he really is. It's a shame when I do see good art of them together, since even then it's a waste, but I'm getting art of us together commissioned instead (rough draft attached, eagerly awaiting the final version), so it's all good. To me, seeing them together is just fantasy and nothing worth working myself up over. She is my beloved and not his after all. I could go on and on about this subject, but I think I'll stop here. Probably got a bit snarky in there towards the middle, but it just felt right

okay prepare yourself for autism: the post

as i said earlier i'm not bothered by shipping as a concept. i understand i'm not perfect and although i wouldn't give her up for the world, if i had to there are plenty of people on the 2d side that could easily do my job. i understand some of the ships very much. for example laurent actually has a lot in common with her character wise and is a very intelligent and chill dude so i'm fine with him. there's plenty of others in the game but that is not what this thread is for

first guy on here is owain, i don't really hate him persee but he's such a loud mouth chuuni that i question whether or not he actually seems to care about anyone. besides, if people are going to play the "fire emblem is all about incest" card (which to be fair isn't really wrong as fe4 shows) then they're gonna have to look further than cousins.

the second is inigo and he's a shithead. hes a wannabe ladies man but he's such a socially retarded beta faggot that he can't even talk to women and most of them find him repugnant. if you read their (non sibling) supports it's very clear she can't stand him and yet for some reason he's a popular ship for her because shippers are fucking retarded. furthermore he's basically a wizard (the chan sense not an actual magic user) because he's incapable of understanding the concept of a committed relationship and even flat out pulls the nice guy card word for word in one of his supports. if you do decide to make the extremely shitty decision to not let this worthless fuck die a virgin, he literally admits to openly attempting cheating on whoever his wife is. fuck this asshole. i figured at least this shit would have ended since he canonically has a daughter in the new game but all that did was cause tumblrfags to wallow in denial by trying to create headcanons where it's hers, despite the fact that this is fucking impossible in game.

but worst of all we have gerome. this edgy retard is not just a badly written deviantart reject but his entire philosophy (boo hoo waaa fate is unavoidable muh destiny) completely contradicts her entire character and the very purpose for her existence. yet that doesn't stop tumblrwhales from loving the ship despite the fact that they have nothing in common except "lel masks xd" and their supports are shit. while inigo is far more insufferable as a character this faggot infuriates me even more because of what an edgy piece of shit he is and because he makes no sense whatsoever as her partner.

>>37267

>this entire post

>being this fucking defiant in the face of "that guy" and refusing to give in to his faggotry

fuck yeah, you're the best, anon. and i mean that sincerely. spit in his face and tell him to fuck off, you've ntred him and there's nothing he can do about it.

I have a lot to say on this subject, forgive me. I tried to be brief in places where I've explained a lot in the past.

Essentially: I don't care, the series is shipping bait anyway so it's what I expected, I don't hold it against a fictional character that he is in the same picture as Keisuke and doing romantic things with him. Akira (the man he is canonically in love with) is pretty cool and I like him (despite some misunderstandings we had early on) and I don't hate that people ship him with Keisuke; I see them more as having a brotherly/found family/intense friendship sort of relationship, personally, but it's not my business to infringe on what makes other people happy when the relationship is done in character. Easy enough to ignore it when I want to, and I get to save cute art of him when I find it. Win/win.

I've seen this said elsewhere and although it's not a sentiment that I think is common here I think it's worth saying, shipping is essentially waifu lite if the person is really serious about it and not just using the characters for jerk-off material. I don't hate people for shipping Keisuke and Akira together because they're good for each other, although in what way and how is something we disagree on. Keisuke is with me now and that's all I need to know. Shipfags would probably call me delusional and I'm sure that many of you call shipfags delusional for shipping… it's a similar delusion and I don't see the need to be mean about it if everything is in character, even if we disagree. It might be my personality and my disposition (as well as who I'm in love with) but I feel like I have more in common with shipfags, as a waifufag in particular, than not. I very deeply respect a handful KeiAki shippers even if we don't see eye-to-eye all the time. That's just me though, and it took me a really long time to get over some resentment I had and to this point. Of course there are dumbass shippers too who just do it for hawt yaoiz but most of the people who like KeiAki actually care about them both and at least try to keep shit in character, or at least that's my impression because I try to ignore and forget those who don't.

I have seen him shipped together with I think literally every character in Togainu no Chi that has a name (including himself) except for the two women and the side characters in Rin's route, and most of them don't bug me (I actually think it's cute seeing him interact with other characters in that way because it gives me ideas). Sometimes it's weird or slightly out of character, but it's whatever. Not a big deal. The only ones that really super bother me are when he's paired with Aribitro, Kiriwar or Gunji because the artist usually reduces him to a sex toy, which is both disrespectful and out of character. Still, it doesn't bug me enough that it'll ruin my day or anything. I just vent about it to a friend who understands when I see it. There have been a handful of times where I've seen him with a (presumably) self-insert woman and it makes me uncomfortable for a lot of reasons but again, nothing to get upset over.

This is also weird I guess but sometimes when I'm looking at shipping art, I can very clearly imagine him making that face at me and vice versa. So that's another reason why it doesn't bother me. I also recently realized that I'm only slightly taller than Rin, so I may have taken a lot of screencaps of when they are standing next to each other in the manga.

>>37267

I don't have much to add but I wanted to say that I'm proud of you for getting to this point in your relationship.

I'm mostly okay with shipping. The way I see it, more shipping art means more nicely drawn pictures of Kirei for me to enjoy. He isn't too popular with fanartists outside of BL unlike certain characters with "bishounen" appealcoughGilgameshcoughcoughLancercough

His situation regarding canon "love" interests is somewhat unique compared to other waifus/husbandos on this board because he's a widower. He was married to a woman named Claudia for two years, I think? The events around her death are complicated so I won't go into them. Seeing pictures of them together doesn't bother me at all since she was a very kind person who understood Kirei and loved him a lot.

Now, regarding shipping he's usually paired up with other guys, the most popular "ships" being him with Kiritsugu, Gil, or Shirou. Sometimes you'll see him with blue Lancer. I rarely see het shipping art of him but when I do it's with Rin. I prefer to not see him with Kiritsugu or Rin but if it's well drawn stuff I might save it. Same with Gil. Lancer is okay I guess.

With Shirou I actually don't mind seeing them together in the slightest. Shirou and I are the same height and the way he's portrayed in fanon works reminds me of myself so I can self insert as him very easily. A lot of the ShiKo artists are talented too so there's a lot of nice art for it.

>>37347

if you'd like to judge them more objectively, their supports are easily read on the wiki in all their unpleasant detail.

http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Owain/Supports

http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Inigo/Supports

http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Gerome/Supports

but yeah I love Laurent, he's a total bro. If I couldn't be with her I'd absolutely accept him taking my place. his character is pretty close to hers already (serious, focused primarily on his work, poor social skills, underlying goofiness if you dig really hard) and the developers seem to agree because apparently he has the fastest support growth with her of all of the second generation guys.

Another complaint I forgot about.

After doing a pixiv art hunt yesterday, I remembered just how much I hate when an artists has a great art style or is really good at drawing Tenryu and making her look cute, but then all their art of her is just shipping art of her and Tatsuta.

GOD DAMMIT I CAN'T ENJOY YOUR ART LIKE THIS MAN, I'M SORRY I JUST CAN'T.

>>37394

>Keito

Funny you should mention her.

But anyways, I take his songs/PVs as part of his job which he is essentially an actor in them, so those don't really bother me since it's not sincere. Artwork of songs/PVs I usually take in the same manner, those just being part of his job. I see where you're getting at with the shipping, and some of the pictures that I don't favor so much, I do view as being work related, but I can't really get past the lewds. Even if I try to trick myself into believing that the lewds are just for show/promotional value, I can't believe it since that's out of his character. So I'm still stuck with that.

>spoiler

That just sounds adorable and I know he's going to get it stuck on his face somehow.

It's already begun…First comes the pics, then the fanfics, then ultimately, doujins/hentai…

The only shipping pics I've seen so far is her with I-NO (who I'm not really a fan of to say the least).

>>37502

Forgot my second pic to describe how I feel about this. My bad

I don't like this wabbit one bit.

I've been avoiding this thread for a while but I feel like I'm finally able to talk about this openly and fully. I'm sorry if this offends the Kirinofags but be warned it's not going to be the nicest post. I'd avoid this if I were you, specifically the spoilers.

Keep in mind I've only watch the anime and haven't read the light novels. Also tons of Oreimo spoilers so don't read any of this if you don't wanna be spoiled.

So the whole title basically says it all: "There's No Way My Sister Can Be This Cute!" I mean its in the title who the main romance is going to be about. I watched through the series and even read a bit of the manga before and during the first few days of being with Kyousuke. I didn't care about how he and Kirino had a sort of fling. I mean they don't end up together in the end anyway. Besides they move far away from each other after the anime ended and its only a teenage romance. Probably just hormones. So it never bothered me. Then I decided to watch the series again with a close friend. Everything was fine until the last 3/4 episodes of the second season. Especially the last two. I just kinda broke emotionally. Seeing that wedding scene and them together and happy… it broke my heart. I felt like I was taking him away from something. He has these feelings for Kirino. Canonically he loves her romantically. And seeing that just really upset me. Who am I to take his love away from him and be with him instead? I honestly couldn't even finish the last episode the church scene started and i just minimized it. I didn't say a word to my friend the entire time and was crying. I ended up just ending the call because I couldn't handle being this upset around someone over a fictional character. He's not a waifu fag so I felt embarrassed. Eventually he called me the next day and we talked about it which made me feel better. He reassured me that it was just dumb teenage hormones and all that, among other things. It helped me a lot but I was still hurt by it. It gets to me even now. Mainly because it was with Kirino.

Kirino is not nice to Kyousuke. She's abusive and manipulative towards him. She hits him, forces him to do anything, and is just down right nasty to him. Lies in order to get attention from him and everything. Treated him like he wasn't even good enough to help her pick up something she dropped. The list goes on and on. All of this was because he grew up and changed into someone she didn't like. She idealized him and put him on a pedestal like many people in "love" do. I find it completely disrespectful to do on its own since you're not really in love with that person but an idea you've created. On top of that she was cruel to him because of it. She was completely selfish towards him in every way. That's why I hate the idea of him loving her. It feels like all the writing just went down the drain. In the flash backs it never showed him acting anyway but how a normal brother would act. Nothing romantic was shown at all. It's like they took all this good writing and just trashed it in the second season to make Kyousuke into what a typical Harem MC is. If Kirino really loved Kyousuke she wouldn't treat him terribly. "Oh but anon shes a Tsundere!" Tsunderes shouldn't be abusive. They shouldn't be someone who actually manipulates others just because they can't be honest about their emotions. It doesn't excuse anything and its bad writing. Any level of abuse in a relationship is not healthy. I hate seeing Kyousuke hurt and it kills me knowing he was thrown together with her.

Just seeing pictures of her alone bothers me, let alone with him and that's all the fan art pretty much. Nothing about the first season felt like a harem nor did it even feel like a romance really save the ending with Kuroneko which was built up very well. Another character he's shipped with who I dislike is Ayase. She's basically Kirino but without the otaku "quirk". She abuses him physically even more so than Kirino and again, is thrown together with him. Not to mention her "Yandere" character type is badly done and not even that good. I mean Ayase is yandere over Kirino yet would date her brother who she hates? Wow that's a yandere. Oh yeah and he admits to wanting to molest her and commit incest, guess i should just forget that and fall in love with this guy.

Part 2

The other two shipped with him are Kuroneko, which is canon, and Manami. Neither bother me. Kuroneko and him are really cute. I'm glad he got to have a nice relationship with her even if she kinda did something bad. She honestly wanted what's best for both her and Kirino which shows how much of a loyal friend she is. She put her own feelings over theirs. I admire her and would love to be friends with her. Manami is another character I'd be happy for Kyousuke to be with. She's kind and really cares about him. Some people say she's a bitch but they're just ignoring how real people act. Even if she didn't want the best for Kirino when she told her to never pursue Kyousuke she was looking after her, or at least Kyousuke. Trying to commit incest in japan would kill any chance of a social life or career. You can't have bad face value in japan. End of story. It wasn't even that harsh, it was just the truth. And yeah she gets upset when she sees them together but I'm sure it's because of who she is. Again incest would kill any chance of a career. Also Manami loved Kyousuke and felt betrayed. She never was upset about Kuroneko and helped him with relationship stuff. Sure she acted on emotions but didn't hurt anyone just to be cruel. Everyone makes mistakes and I wish Manami would stop getting hate because she's realistic. whoops kinda ranted on about that. I also can self insert with Manami so that's always nice.

Sorry this was such a long post… rip I'm glad I could finally get this off my chest though. Sorry if I offended anyone.

I love shipping, and love seeing the people I love sharing in love with others. That goes for real life and in fiction.

That said, Suika's most common ship besides Yuugi is probably Reimu, but I identify with Reimu (have cosplayed, same hair and various other reasons) and end up seeing stuff involving the two of them as metaphors for us two. At least, when I get 'signs' of a spiritual nature it oftens involves Suika and Reimu.

I don't wanna spill my guts out to much but I guess I'll try a reply. But I have a hard time even watching oreimo anymore, seeing her THAT happy when she's with her brother. kinda hurts me. She's just so in love with him in the show that it does that to me. I know that sounds stupid but yeah. I loved them kinda ending up together in the show but that was before I started to really feel something for her. I honestly get a bit jealous whenever I see fan art of them and it makes me a tiny bit sad. But I guess in a way I at least like seeing her so happy. I at least try to erase all of that stuff (her being with her brother) from her slate I guess you could say, so it doesn't hurt me as much. I guess I feel this way and such because I love her so much. Part of the reason it even took me so long to accept my feelings for her, I've been struggling with them since early 2014, was because of how happy she was with him.

I ship my waifu with "that" character myself, because they are both great characters that deserve one another. It doesn't bother me at all, since the way I view waifuism tends to have more to do with multiple-worlds theory / alternate interpretations of her as a fictional character than a direct physical or spiritual belief in her.

Dunno if that's a particularly controversial opinion or not. I guess I just don't have the same kind of connection with my waifu many on /mai/ seem to.

>mfw there is a shipping thread on /v/ right now

Thankfully my waifu has stayed out of the line of fire. I'm so sorry Lucinanon

>>41324

It must be tough having a popular character for a waifu

I kinda like him and Ryuuji </fujoshit> (spoiler image is Actually Gay)

I'm ok with Azusa, she's a cute and I like her, although she's kind of a downer sometimes.

URUMI TRIGGERS ME >:^(

>>41296

did someone mention delinquents?

I already talked about this a little on another thread (I forgot which one) but Hitomiko and my husbando are shipped and somewhat popular.

I used to feel butthurt about it but now I just self-insert myself to Hitomiko because we're same age and have the same hair color ,and now I feel like saying 'awww' instead of 'akdfjalfdja' which helps.

But overall, I'm happy when I see my husbando happy.

As for the other ships which are boys his age, I don't really mind because I can't really relate I guess? I don't know.

I just see it as her past romances

>>37079

My waifu has practically never been shipped with anyone because cannon love doesn't happen to exist at least in the anime. However when people do and let's be honest you could have been expecting it they ship her with Asbel. I honestly feel no hate nor jealousy toward this guy, given the very few fanart of her being with him that exists and especially since the manga confirmed cannon love between them doesn't exist at all.

However, that last thing is my issue : sure she is not shipped with anyone else, and here's why : There MAY be a cannonical love between her an another character in the manga. His name is Selm, and while he doesn't plays too much of a role in the manga, he sure loves to show his love interest towards Nausicaä. He will even save her once from the claws of despair. He then asks her to marry him, seems like he was dropping it down like it had no importance at all and make me angry. And while she says at first not wanting to, at the very end of the manga, she then says she MIGHT return to that place and live with him..

I have read more about this and it looks like Miyazaki, on this last scene, wanted to let to the reader the choice, of her leaving to live by Selm's side or not and actually staying in the Valley. That's why it helps me a bit when I try to think about the both of us

I mean, I actually do look like him and all, but there are many things about him I just dislike and that's why I really don't like him. He looks like wanting to act superior at any time towards her and I just can't tolerate it.

I could even self-insert myself again, but I won't because of what I said above. I like me being different from him, and even if she is the kind of person she may love, I'd do anything to prove her I'd be even better for her.

Sorry, I kinda let my hatred burned a little there, But I needed to say this.

mfw there is some fanart with her being with Yupa

Not really. It just depends on your attitude.

>>41430

This essentially. There's really no way to stop people making/posting stuff like that. Best option would be to ignore it.

But something you and other anons have posted gave me a possible idea as another option; perhaps you could consider all these shipping pics as alternate universes and/or parallel dimensions that don't pertain to the one where you are with her. Next to lightning manipulation, Dimensional manipulation is one of my favorite abilities to have when creating characters in various media (sucks that most games don't have this ability as an option for characters) and honestly, if I had the ability to manipulate dimensions, I'd be abusing the hell out of it and giving people who ship our loved ones an ass-kicking, and I like to think that there is an existence of a multiverse (despite the debate over it).

I mean hell FE games can be a really good example of this actually, with how you as the player can shape how events go by which characters survive, die, who they're married to, and is even born (in terms of awakening and fates). Not to mention the existence of the outer world gate.

You were even mentioning it in an earlier post how you were considering going through the next playthrough and having the characters you hate not even be born. This is another example of this (on a side note; you could always have said characters marry other characters during the playthrough as well).

It might not stop the anger that comes from seeing your loved one with someone else, especially with someone you despise (god damn I-NO Jack-O shippers), but I hope this helps in some way.

>>41434

It's never easy seeing pics of your loved one with someone else, but as you mentioned the last scene is left up to the reader's choice and you would definitely be someone better for Nausicaä than Selm. No question

>mfw there is some fanart with her being with Yupa

>2nd pic MFW

I love the internet, but goddamn it can be a scary place sometimes

Saku is mostly shipped with Hirano. Thankfully it's just fan shipping, but it does leading to it polluting a lot of the small amount of art Saku gets.\

I don't really mind it, it's just annoying when I finally find a new piece of art and it's shipping.

There's three people that fit this category and only two I'll talk about because the third enrages me immensely for good reason, although they are the most relevant to this thread. Long story short, it's her canon husband in a route that was never animated.

Otherwise, she ends up with her sister or Tomoya in paired art.

It really hurts. Considering how the series works with the different scenarios, denial of this ship should be especially easy, but even after all these years, I just can't put this to rest. I always ask how people deal with this and only ever get "you should be happy for her, you selfish dick. She'd hate you." or "You're supposed to self-insert as the MC". Obviously, neither of those help. I don't want to give up on her, but even thinking about the series can ruin my mood at this point. Is there really just no hope for someone so insecure and jealous, I wonder?

>>52971

Hmm, I dunno. Have you ever considered that her love for you is different than how she has loved Keiichi in the past? That's what helped me, because I didn't want to self-insert into Akira either. Plus… I thought that word of God said that he got together with Mion? I felt that way when watching it, too - to me, it seemed like that was who Keiichi had feelings for and Rena just had a one-sided crush. I don't know if me saying that helps at all, but that's how I saw it. It's been a while so sorry if I'm remembering wrong, and I also only watched the main anime…

Even if what I said didn't help, I hope you can figure out a solution.

How have I never posted in this thread?

Yurishit has plagued the series with constant shipping. Most of it I actually don't mind but the one that comes across as the most trite and annoying ship in the history of generic ships is pairing Ami (Sailor Mercury) with Makoto. Why do people like this ship? Does the "Quiet smart girl" and "Caring Masculine Girl" really appeal to that many people? What possessed people to try and hammer this in so much?

Another ship (unfortunately made essentially canon by Crystal but promptly ignored after 3 episodes past its revelation) was the pairings of the Senshi with their respective counterpart from the Earth Kingdom's Shitennou (For those who don't know, these characters are the four evil generals from the first arc of the series, brainwashed to serve the villain but this is never mentioned outside of the Manga/Crystal) which unfortunately means she's paired off with wavy haired douchenozzle alpha supreme Nephrite. The Musicals have been fueling fire to that ship for fucking ages and frankly they're dead to me because of it.

>>52995

This subject is something that I've struggled with a lot but this post among others made me feel a lot better about it. So I guess I'll try to put my thoughts down on the subject as it relates to my waifu for the first time.

Soul is the character my waifu is paired with. Their relationship is complicated. For those who haven't seen the show the pairs of characters fight by having one turn into a weapon and the other fights with them. Part of what makes them more powerful and a big part of the plot is how their relationship develops and makes them stronger. Their souls have to resonate in order to work together and Maka and Soul do it quite well by the end of the series. I won't say anything specific because spoilers and it doesn't really add anything to my point.

Soul isn't a bad character, though he's made out to be a bit of a tool. He's also cool kind of a stereotypical "bad boy" and rides a motorcycle and whatnot, which I am nothing like. When the times are tough he comes through and is very protective of Maka.

There are some canon details that make it seem possible that a relationship between the two wouldn't necessarily work out though. Maka's parents were likewise a weapon/meister pair and her dad cheated on her mom after Maka was born and she hates him (though they actually talk and it's sort of a sweet relationship in it's own right). But regardless they were paired and married but ended up separated. There's also an ending that shows that Maka is capable of fighting on her own so she wouldn't necessarily need to stay with Soul in a Meister/Weapon relationship.

I find it difficult because so much about my waifu is revealed through her relationship with the guy she's shipped with. But I see from this thread it's something that's not necessarily something that's going to go away but definitely something that I could feasibly develop a solid head-cannon to get around.

Putting on yuri goggles in pretty much what this series is about, so you'd expect there to be shipping. In Kyouko's case she's commonly shipped with Ayano and if not her, Yui. Kyouko x Ayano is an explicit series gag in the form of Chitose's nosebleed fantasies, further complimented by Ayano's tsundere attitude. Kyouko x Yui is the standard childhood best friends ship and again played upon by the series. It doesn't really bother me, the nature of the series reduces the shipping to simply 'part of the fun'. It can irk me if an otherwise perfect picture of her gets spoiled by pairing, but she has enough of her own art.

There is really a lot of shipping going on with Nonon and the Kill la Kill cast, among the most popular ships are naturally Satsuki, Inumuta and for some reason Sanageyama. I actually never had a problem with the Satsuki one, although it probably is the most widely seen, as I think that the source material made it pretty clear that Nonon effectively just shows an extraordinary deal of admiration for Satsuki and wants to be closest friends of all time with her, but is NOT in lesbians with her because she never is shown being actually physically attracted to her in any way.

The Sanageyama one is just pure wish-fullfilment in my oppinion to the point of almost being tumblr tier and not heavily enforced either, followingly I do not care about that one. She is however heavily shipped with Inumuta, since he has the most interaction with her besides Satsuki, and man is this one getting on my nerves.

The first problem I have with this is, that even in the source material it is implied a little bit that Nonon´s usual way of teasing exceeds the ordinary in the case of Inumuta as he is just as much outwitted and retaliates in jolly banter, though he still proves to be an absolute, well, dork quite some times, so much that I just refuse to believe that he is anyone Nonon would fall for. The online community however cranks the little there is up to absolute eleven, believe me.

Generally, I just get the feeling that the more socially awkward on the internet easily identify with Inumuta who has that stereotypical nerd trait attached to him at the same time as he is shown to enjoy banter or in other words, real life shitposting and therefore also like to see Nonon as their cool, token loli and self-insert as him. Depending on how strongly they get into that kind of self-insertion in with Inumuta they go to further and further lenghts to warp the personnality of Nonon to suit their preferences and produce a good amount of heavy and out-of-character fan fiction and art that I never really got over with.

Oh boy how many times have I already had to crop Nonon out of images where she is shipped with him and even worse, the times when my limited editing magic could not salvage an image, despite her looking heartwarming or absolutely stunning in it.

Pic also very related.

Alright, enough of the rant already.

It's canon and it bothers me. Goddamn it bothers me.

What do you even do about that? The only way we'd be together is if something terrible happens to her.

It's something that's nagged at me from the start. I love her dearly but it doesn't seem right to interfere if she's already happy.

Some months ago I very seriously considered letting her go and trying to find another waifu.

I don't really know why I'm still with her. I've never gotten past the issue of her canon love interest.

I'm in love with her and I know she's a girl who can be won over by simply being a decent person and showing interest in her.

I don't plan on leaving her any time soon. Hell, I don't plan on leaving her ever.

I guess I just ignore it. It just makes me aggravated and sad to think about. It's frustrating. It makes me question the whole relationship

>How do you feel about the character and their relationship to your waifu/husbando?

I actually really like Katsuragi. She's pretty neat. Her favorite hobby is sexual harassment, after all.

>What about of all the art you see of them together?

I don't mind the well done or cute art, but I just ignore most of it.

>Is there any canon material supporting one of the two has a romantic/sexual interest in the other, and if so how do you view/deal with it?

There's no romantic interest implied in the series, only Katsuragi's sexual antics. Doesn't bother me too much, tbh, due to the source material.

>Does it bother you a lot or do you pay no mind?

Mostly no mind, though the idea of someone else taking her from me does bother me a lot. I'm at no risk as it is, though.
