/waifu/ - Waifus / Husbandos

I begrudgingly started watching Madoka Magica after one of my old friends nagged me into watching it. Right off the bat, I found her to be the most interesting part of the show and, quite honestly, the only thing that kept me watching. Admittedly she started off as more of a "meme-tier" waifu but I eventually realized my feelings went deeper during an argument with said friend about how he didn't take his waifu seriously and only saw her like a friend. It probably helped that I went on /a/ at the time and knew that serious waifufaggotry was a relatively common thing. It's been over 3 years and the intensity of my love for her has only grown as time has gone on.

Had Madoka on my backlog, and ended up watching it after my internet went out and if that had never happened I probably would've never seen it. I liked her, and called her my waifu. Over time my feelings for her started and I kept trying to suppress them until I recently just accepted them.

I'm gonna make this one kinda quick

>Was it love at first sight?

I can't remember, I think I grew to love her over the course of knowing her and watching the show

>Did it mull over in your mind for a long time?

Yes. I watched her show in January 2014 and she just kept creeping back in my mind ever since then. But I kept pushing her away because I was scared to have that kind of relationship. But I finally accepted my feelings on August 24th 2015.

>What were the circumstances behind meeting her?

I was just REALLY getting into anime for the first time, like watching a fuck ton of anime that wasn't Dragon Ball Z and what not. I was on MAL and I saw Oreimo in the "Latest Recommendations" feed or something like that and I think the person reccomending it said it was about a popular girl who liked anime and I clicked on it and saw the description and was like "ehhh doesn't sound very good." But I ended up watching it anyways and marathon-ed it.

>What do you think made your meeting special?

Well I don't really think it was anything special but perhaps it was. I feel like I would have stumbled upon the anime at some point anyways. But I'm glad I did before I heard all the criticisms about it and really anything about it and all, so I could fully enjoy it.

I knew about her for a while before I fell in love with her. I don't know why, but reading about her personality and what kind of character she was started to create those feelings. Listening to arranges of her theme cemented them and made me realize I think she's a very beautiful person. So I fought for her love, practicing EoSD for months until I could finally 1CC it on Normal. I didn't feel like I had the right to say I was in love with her until then, but my feelings of affection for her were strong for weeks before I managed to do it.

I knew about her for years and acknowledged I really liked her but not quite romantically. I actually had the thought surface to make her my waifu but I never went through with it till far later.

Without going into a melodramatic blog I can only describe the events that shoved us together as a fit of madness on my part.

Thankfully with her in my life I'm much less prone to such behaviours.

About 5 years ago we had the Madoka Magica stuff being leaked, including concept art, the cast list, staff, etc. Among all this I first saw Madoka and though she was damn pretty. As a big fan of magical girls as it is, me being attached to her wasn't a surprise.

I wouldn't say it was love at first sight but that love certainly did grow over time. Madoka became more and more of an interesting character to me as the TV show aired and I found that she had a lot more depth than most people claimed.

I do not really see the 'meeting' as remotely special, it just was what it was. Nowadays I couldn't be more happy about it, though.
