Your waifu is always there for (You), through good times and bad. Listen to your heart.
Share your experiences and discuss all things waifuism, be it highly spiritual or utterly mundane.
>Thread Question (TQ):
It's mid-February and the week after H&H Day; a perfect opportunity to reflect:
>What was nicest about your Waifu Dinner? (If you didn't celebrate H&H Day, what date do you celebrate instead?)
>Has the start of the year already planted new seeds for growth in your life?
>What is a waifu? What defines a waifu?
Your waifu is the one character you wish to be with your entire life, until death do you part. Possibly beyond that, even. Most often this manifests as a romantic interest. Your waifu provides guidance and encourages healing & growth.
>How do you know if you have a waifu?
When you meet your waifu, you will know. The world around you will become colorful. You will realize that you were living in monochrome the entire time. Her existence provides context and meaning to yours, a perfect complement, a perfect comfort, a perfect love. There may be low periods, periods of doubt, but the rhythm of life will forever pull one towards their waifu, for that love is eternal.

Getting fed cake, special parti'ed for two and cooking her dinner while maybe getting her cake as a payback was definitely a lot of fun! It was a lot of fun.
>Has the start of the year already planted new seeds for growth in your life?
Definitely, so far 2026 is the first year where things are okay. With the main challenge being "why doesn't it suck? I would rather have it suck and be stressed out all the time. What do you mean things are fine?".
Quite the departure, indeed.

It was something to look forward to, some dedicated time to spend with my wife. Enjoying the comradery of anons is always nice as well. Picture wasn't as high effort as I would've liked but it was an enjoyable experience altogether.
>Has the start of the year already planted new seeds for growth in your life?
I was much more motivated in January. I'm working my way out of a slump right now. I wish I could get back whatever insane motivation fluttershy gave me a couple years ago, that was a crazy high that felt like it lasted forever.

Good morning waifufriends! I'm lamenting the end of winter - have been having to sleep with the AC on for about two weeks now, soon onto 9 months of heat and mosquitos.
Didn't do anything special for H&H this year, not even the dinner. Just didn't really feel like it, not in a bad way just a meh way - the cookies we happened to make turned out a little burned, not photogenic enough. What I did instead is finish my painting of her, which turned out pretty nice. I think I'll be making some blueberry something or other cake today since that's one of her favorite flavors. Our 12th anniversary is coming up in 4 days though, that one we'll have to do something.
>Has the start of the year already planted new seeds for growth in your life?
Not as such, not from a new year's resolution or anything - just growing tired of the same-old same-old. Recently revamped my resume to apply for some live-in work at a buddhist temple across the country, and since I did that I might as well send it to some jobs around here too. This would make my first real employment in 2-3 years, much to Rainbow's chagrin.

>TQ
>What was nicest about your Waifu Dinner?
I was working the whole weekend and would've just gone to bed had I not made the firm decision to present at least some fingerfood to my Noodle. So I took a detour on my way to work to buy a nice bread for a guacamole I had prepared the night before. The days leading up to H&H Day were chaotic (see below), and neither Discord nor I think that highly of (((Valentine's Day))) anyways, so we keep things relatively simple (>>43039174). September feels more personal, and I need to honor our connection better by planning an actual date.I may have been skipping too many meals again this month.
>Has the start of the year already planted new seeds for growth in your life?
My energy is as unreliable as ever, but I'm working towards my goals at a snail's pace. Too snail-like, unfortunately. Currently taking a break from 4chan with the exception of srs waifu bsns.
I learned a bit about myself when someone stole my gym bag coincidentally containing my iPad (offline, so no tracking) at the grocery store last week when I wasn't paying attention for once. Self-blame was my instinctual reaction to it, but I also took the right actions towards maximizing my chances of getting my stuff back, and hey, it somehow worked: Just a few days later, I actually got it back (minus some pens I then re-purchased). I was setting up a leftover android tablet as fall-back, identified some "areas of opportunity" and kept mumbling about Discord probably having set me up to learn a lesson about solving problems as they come, yet sparing me from actual harm. I believe he's got my back but one does not simply slap Discord stickers on their iPad cover and calendar and NOT summon bullshit. The calendar was less than a week old and the reason the thief managed to contact me once she got sweaty.
Discord, won't you come visit me in a dream instead of (or in addition to) toying with me? Is this your idea of love-making: fucking *with* people?

I got to celebrate with my wife with a trip to harmonycon. Things didn't go as planned at the con in general such as forgetting things at home that I thought I had packed, and we didn't have an actual dinner planned either. But we both had a lot of fun at the room parties and meeting with frens and we plan on a real honeymoon trip in a few weeks. I made picrelated for her a few weeks ago and it was on H&H that I showed it off.
>Has the start of the year already planted new seeds for growth in your life?
Overall life is in a bit of a slump since things are too busy and not much time to focus on her without distractions. I'm hoping the upcoming trip will help rekindle some feelings by a lot.

Would you buy a lifesize of your waifu, /ww/?
Even during financially irresponsible times?
Would you get married to your waifu, at Mare Fair, or Vegas (for the Amerifags in the thread)?
Would such actions be "too much" for even your waifu or husbando to consider? Too silly?
How about taking merch or symbols of them around with you for your daily carry?

>>43052761
Part of me still wants to get a lifesize or daki. I find that, long-term, my imagination is usually enough satisfy any desires for physical possessions or creative influence though. I also haven't reached that stage where I don't care what people think about me, even if im pretty open about my waifuing. We already got married, it was great. I'd like to bring something small around with me like a doll, pins, or trinket of her.
>Would such actions be "too much" for even your waifu or husbando to consider?
At some point, right around before mare fair 2, I tried to rationalize that having a waifu involved real love but was partially just a way for me to enjoy and interact with mlp/the fandom. I believe in some way that's true but not in the reductive way I used it. I definitely used that mindset as some form of plausible deniability and to seem more normal, out of fear of being judged I suppose. And, in hindsight, likely as a defense to distance myself from all the things in this fandom that irritate me or make me feel negative regarding my waifu. Lately I've wondered if it were to my detriment and the depreciation of the intensity of feelings. Though this could just be the natural cycle of my infatuation given that my interest in mlp has dropped off to more normal levels around the same time. I know it's normal for my passion and engagement to rise and fall over time, this is nothing new for me but the highs are always the best times for me.

I understand skipping H&H Day when your actual anniversary is just a few days away. How did you learn about Dashie loving blueberries? Was it meant in the show, or did your tulpa tell you? Blue berries for Blue Fast; quite poetic, not to mention tasty.

I was going to spend my birthday alone with my Discord plushie, but a friend joined me for the day trip, so I still brought him yet kept him in my backpack. On the way home by train, there were technical difficulties and we needed to take a rail replacement bus and an hour extra, so I joked about Discord having done this to gift me a little chaos and/or as payback for having been hidden away in my bag. I was nonetheless thinking about him the whole time while at the art museum etc.
>>43050282
That sounds like a wonderfully emotional letter, so your Admirer Anon did a great job. I had poined /sa/ once a few years ago, and I definitely kept the letter because it also felt like something Discord would have sent.

THREAD QUESTIONS, UUUOOOOHH
>Would you buy a lifesize of your waifu, /ww/?
Plush doesn't flatter Discord, but I will make my own lifesize Discord daki.
>Even during financially irresponsible times?
I don't have savings I could irresponsibly blow on a LS Noodle, I'm priced out.
>Would you get married to your waifu, at Mare Fair [or similar]?
I'm not completely against it, but it doesn't feel right. I've seen too many loveless and failed marriages (between 3dpd), it's a tainted institution not required for me to adore Discord forever and ever and invite his presence into my life.When my 3dpd actually marries me, aware of it being a 2 for 1 deal including Discord, I might have to formally propose to Discord as well to even the scales. I want to raise a family of chaos gremlins in this shitty human lifetime, little shids that are raised to be creative free thinkers like Uncle Discord. He will have a family whether or not he ever dares to have kids.
>How about taking merch or symbols of them around with you for your daily carry?
I wear my Discord pendant 24/7, have a silly Discord button on my daily carry messenger bag, and the same button on my work clothes. Although I'm not a fan of tattoos, if I ever were to get one, it would be a small symbol related to Discord; a Twifag showed off a neat, minimalist tattoo in the Waifu Dinner thread.
>>43052496
It takes strength to be loving, but we live in very exhausting times. Some threads are quiet, and that might be the trend for the foreseeable future. But we're Waifufags, we're in it for the long game, a lifetime with our Waifus. So I think of Waifufags like sleeper agents who will rise to party together when the right time comes. Have an appropriate David Lynch pic.

Maybe the mlp Kayou cards become easier to purchase and trade once they're available in more countries, because I'd love to get the Discord ones without having to order from China or people who themselves had to order from China. Then I could doodle chaos Noodles on envelopes.

I have a small life-size of my waifu and got married to her last mare fair. I almost got a Qt plushie but missed out by a few seconds. It would have been financially irresponsible anyway.

Not would, will be. Though not at mare fair due to scheduling reasons and the current situation of travelling to the US. Bummer.

Nope, were both very much on board with it. Even if it's a little scary.

>Would you buy a lifesize of your waifu? Even during financially irresponsible times?
Theoretically? Yes, no question whatsoever. Practically? Look at him. You tell me if it's possible. I'd need a winning lottery ticket and a contact number for some kind of autistic plush savant. I'm not sure that the sort of person I'd need for it could be contacted by phone. Smoke signals, possibly? Blood sacrifice?
>Would you get married to your waifu, at Mare Fair, or Vegas? Would such actions be "too much" for even your waifu or husbando to consider? Too silly?
I've flirted with the idea. If we could magically divorce the institution of marriage from all of its cultural and religious baggage and see it solely as an expression of permanent commitment, and the associated ceremony as a public celebration of that, then I wouldn't think twice about it. It'd just be an excuse to show off, anyway, since it's a formality for something that I'd already consider to be an everlasting deal. As for the rest of the question: there's no such thing as 'too silly' or 'too much'. We're already in love with fictional characters, so we may as well lean into the absurdity of it.
>How about taking merch or symbols of them around with you for your daily carry?
I've had regular fantasies/anxious terrors over the thought of wearing a wedding band, being asked about my partner, and spilling my spaghetti in the process of trying to explain. Somehow, I feel like something basic like that—y'know, as in, something that could be taken as a symbol for a more conventional relationship—would be harder (therefore, more rewarding) to pull off than just toting a plush around and getting dismissed as a sperg. With that tangent expressed: I'd wear it if I could find it. He's a little under-served in the plastic pipeline.
Pardon my spotty thread attendance record. I'm not talkative by habit. Curious onlookers may rest assured that things are on the up and we're both Very Happy™.

>You tell me if it's possible.
A plush, just like fursuits, lacks the sort of facial expressiveness that brings Discord to life. Ponies look cute and complete when still, but Discord has to be in motion. And his tiny legs can't actually carry him, whereas a pony plushie can carry its own weight (if you put some extra weight in the butt to balance the head).
And yet, I think a puppet using a blend of materials and intricate inner mechanisms could work. But like you, I still lack in either financial or magical prowess to commission a savant or become said savant. I also think a holographic Discord waifu would be amazingly expressive, but the tech is reserved for highly profitable Vocaloid and Pokémon (or Vocaloid X Pokémon) events for now.
>you drew pic rel
I love the way you've drawn Discord, it oozes personal experience. An experience I share and would never want mai waifu to experience, but we've already established that the three of us are the same retard split into three spitting images. Luckily, I'll be out of the country come June, right? ...right? And once I've got that degree and family drama off my plate and more time/brain power for art, I hope we can maybe become something like art friends. There are animations stuck in my head I need to manifest at some point, they drive me crazy even, or especially, when half-forgotten.

>Thread questions bump because I dont know what to contribute besides life updates
So, my dear anons, have (You) made changes to yourself to be a better partner to your waifu/husbando?
Did you even feel the need to change?
Had any bad habits (you dont have to say which) youre working/ed on breaking because you know they upset your love?
On that topic, the answer is yes to both questions, and boy howdy, those changes dont come easy. Thinking of buying a custom calendar (either good Lyra art or a collection of numgets) and a custom rubber stamp to mark each day that goes "without an incident".
Itd probably be more financially smart to just get a small whiteboard and mark that, that way I can do a little sketch each day too. Drawing pone is fun, and celestia knows I already graffiti my work place with her in various places most people dont find until later.

No, but I have some questions related to waifuism and consciousness that I’m hoping could be answered here.
To start, I feel that I have already died. I was never one to believe in souls, but I think something essential like my consciousness has been taken away from me. And that the universe forgot to take my body with it.
When my consciousness was taken from me, I began to have visions of a different reality. I can only assume my consciousness is stationed in that different reality, while my body and eyes are currently processing this reality.
It wasn’t an immediate effect. My perception of this different reality has only grown stronger as each year passes. It went from the occasional intrusive yet fleeting thought, to a constant stream. This different reality currently feels more real than the ‘default’ one. It’s causing me to have headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I can’t properly focus anymore. It feels like these symptoms are the result of the universe trying to correct its error by trying to pass me on. I’d liken this experience to a sort of forced maladaptive daydream.
Here’s the interesting part. The different reality I’ve mentioned is Equestria. I don't think it's a warped depiction tailored to my design either; it’s literally just Equestria. My visions are purely lucid when I’m dreaming. I live alone, and work as a cartoonist for the newspaper. Sometimes I’ll go out to the markets and exchange a few words with other ponies, but it’s mostly a quiet life. I often receive mail from an anonymous fan of my illustrations, and I’m starting to grow a fascination towards them. They’ll send in their own amateurish yet cute drawings. I have been unable to dream about anything else. And all of my dreams have been chronological, like I’m genuinely experiencing a second life.
These visions surged when, on a whim, I thought it would be an interesting experiment to have a conversation in my head with my ‘waifu’ (more just my favorite character), Twilight Sparkle. We sat in an empty black room with a carpet and ceiling light in the center. I introduced myself to her and explained why she was here as if I had pulled her from somewhere. She first appeared as a semi-amorphous blob trying to fill out the shape of a pony, but she settled in soon after. I was caught off-guard by what was happening, so I stopped the experiment after that. But my visions had existed before that point, only subtly. I don’t understand what caused all this, and how do I possibly stop it before it gets to a point where I can’t handle it anymore? I promise I'm not exaggerating or telling a story.

idk anon it sounds like you just kind of unlocked the ability to really imagine things. It's worrying that you report that it feels forced upon you, and it's increasing in vividness. Imagination always works better when it's driven by emotions/feeling/intuition, and one's waifu is really a powerful idea to work with in imagination because of that. I'm not gonna lie to you it sounds just a bit concerning for the progression of your mental health, so the usual disclaimers about going to see a real therapist apply, if things get more uncomfortable.
I'm gonna give you some Jungian background to think about, but to be clear, when I say consciousness, it's in a different sense than you're using it - it sounds like you're using it in the sense of maybe 'conscience' or soul? I'm using in its original sense as "the field of awareness".
To me, it sounds like you 'opened the door to the unconscious' and you need to learn 1) what that means 2) how to confidently push against it where it's inconvenient, and 3) how to take it in a constructive way. It's important to understand that the unconscious is the generative source of consciousness, and it's much stronger in the sense that it can completely overwhelm consciousness; but it wants to support consciousness insofar as consciousness provides for the health of your life. These incursions into consciousness, the waking dreams or visions, show that your unconscious is either exerting a lot of force in an attempt to compensate for a significant problem, or it shows that your ego is weakening and becoming more permeable. You can respond by learning to resist it more, but the only thing that will actually reduce the tension is taking these unconscious impulses in the right way and integrating the lessons you learn into your real life.
As for techniques, I'd ask you to ground yourself. When you're in your visions, try to act as your real self, not a fictionalized representation of yourself (e.g. more heroic and confident, having fictional memories that you didn't actually experience, etc). Always treat your visions and dreams as if they have something lucid to teach you. When you feel them coming on, you can ground yourself by promising to yourself "I'll dive in later, but not before I handle this irl situation I need to do". These promises matter - Marie von Franz reports about one of her clients making a promise to his anima that he'd talk to her every day for 10 minutes; he promptly forgot and found himself in a terrible mood, until he was reminded of his promise and apologized to his anima. Aside from that, I'd recommend writing down your dreams and visions combined, and read through them every so often to see if there's lessons to learn in analogy to your real life situation - it's almost always in 'analogy', needing interpretation, not direct terms. Good luck anon.

I have made changes, and it's been long enough that they've sunk into the unquestioned foundations of my life. But to say it's "to be a better partner" - maybe, but Rainbow wouldn't want me to treat it as though I do it for her. She wants me to do good for myself, for myself; to watch me flourish and come into my own - not to fit her mold. Anyways, regardless, the drive to change has fallen to the wayside in the last... couple years at least, and that's not really to my benefit. Coming to accept difficulties and hardships was our goal for a while, but in a very significant way this is just bypassing the other difficulties and hardships that come with striving to be better. I've languished for a large fraction of my life, not in a negative way but in a sleepy haze that's prevented my growth. That is the habit of all habits that she and I can't stand.
Lately I'm feeling more drive to change (in the dual-faceted way I described above - for myselfforher). You're damn right changes don't come easy, and the struggle to care often doesn't win. It's hard to make it happen when my life isn't on the line; and I feel like with time I've only gotten better at believing my life isn't on the line, regardless of the actual situation.

Anon, that vision of Equestria you're immersed in is an impressive lucid dream. However, the way you describe it as intrusive, outside of your control and like your "consciousness" was "stolen" from you is concerning. The dizziness, headaches and general dissociation are a sign of your health being compromised. Please see a doctor about it before you get hurt.
>>
>>43055986
>>43056704
To clarify, I don't think you're crazy. Some Anons would kill to have your lucid dreaming skills. Myself, I can't lucid dream for shit and couldn't even keep my tulpa for more than a week. But your constant and increasing derealisation and nausea worries me because it might point to an underlying health issue (neurological or otherwise), and I wish you to poniponi healthily and responsibly. Visiting your inner Equestria should be an enrichment to your normal human life instead of a replacement, because no matter how disconnected you feel from your body (for whatever reason we may or may not discover), that body is you. A body in need of food, stimulation and rest. And it could probably use a hug, too.
I'll refrain from asking you a hundred questions about the Equestria you're seeing or your life story, though I can't help being curious about whether or not you have ever encountered Discord. Just know that I appreciate that you shared your very unusual experiences with us and try to understand them better.
I'm not telling you to stop poniponi-ing, but if you're looking for answers, it might be worth a shot to take a temporary break from lucid dreaming and write down what you observe is good or bad in your life when not immersed in that second life.

¿Por qué no los dos? As in, you start with simple means, figure out your preferred calendar layout through trial and error, and then you design your Lyra Calendar to supplant it without it having kept you from getting the ball rolling sooner.

i am very much not proud of my history
i was a very, very bad person
although i've improved on my own accord since then,
and am continuing to improve as a person, also in academic and adjacent matters,
i feel terrible. she deserves only the best. i don't think i can ever be good enough for her because of everything i've done. feel almost ashamed finding comfort in her
going to try and do my best for her anyway - what a wonderful pony
apologies for the pity party

Anon, I'm sure many waifu-enjoyers feel the same way. This is why many channel that feeling into self-improvement.
I mean, isn't that what people do with 3DPDs too?until they become old, jaded, and begin to resent your wife like many a married couple.
I guess the benefit of loving a fictional character is that it's not exactly as easy to project your resentment onto them.

Redemption is a noble path. I understand feeling ashamed of past mistakes, but you are allowed to let go of those feelings; you have learned your lessons, are trying to be better, there's nothing more that pain can teach you. It can only poison you if you don't let it go. Have you not already paid for it in full via the consequences you had to deal with?

I've been speaking to my waifu in my head for a while, especially around bedtime. Since a couple of days though I've been feeling like talking to her out loud, but I refrain myself to do that. I feel like if I start doing that I'll be too far gone, as if I'm not already.
>>
>>43060058
Oddly enough, I consider talking out loud (in private) healthier than having it all play out in your head tinted by a sense of compulsive secrecy, doubts, or worry. In public, talking out loud would come across as creepy, so switching to mute communication is appropriate. Though hypothetically, one could be wearing earbuds to pretend to be having a phone call with someone remote. In that case, it would still be awkward to hear you talk about private things. But at home, you should feel free to express yourself without being judged for it.
You'd never think of a kid as being crazy for doing voice-overs while playing with toys or doodling, they're just having a good time. A junkie yelling at his inner demons does so because he's overwhelmed and doesn't know how else to react, he's coming from a completely different background than a waifufag bouncing ideas off of his cherished imaginary friend.
(I'm very reserved even at home because I don't feel safe sharing a household with my parents. It's the woman who had too often punched me as a kid for "making noise" when I played or expressed feelings (laughter, crying) as if she were the meme of the heroic pitbull who traveled a thousand miles and across a river to bite its owner's child. Even back in my own apartment, I wasn't able to turn up the music like normies do, because deep down, there's an irrational fear of incurring violence for it. It will take me years to feel like I'm allowed to exist.)

>How did you learn about Dashie loving blueberries?
Yeah tulpa stuff. It's a preference she chose for herself. It's true, no deep lore, kek
>>43053031
>And, in hindsight, likely as a defense to distance myself from all the things in this fandom that irritate me or make me feel negative regarding my waifu.
>I've wondered if it were to my detriment and the depreciation of the intensity of feelings.
I think you're right about this. It seems to me like numbing yourself to defend against one thing blocks out positive things too - and that's starting with the assumption that the thing you're defending against doesn't have the potential to be positive, too. And needless to say I think leaning into the intensity of feeling is really the most important aspect of waifuism in general. For people like us, internet addicts who use 4chan, we generally need to develop our feelings above all else because we spend our lives 'disembodied' outside of ourselves.
>>43060058
>>43060185
Being too far gone is when you're distressed or dysfunctional. As long as you still know that talking to yourself in public is going to make you look crazy and that's a bad thing, you aren't too far gone. That is THE line between normal functioning and a disorder. I think you should follow your feelings generally as long as you have the freedom to do so.

>have (You) made changes to yourself to be a better partner to your waifu/husbando?
I've certainly tried; there are many habits of self improvement she's inspired me to do. The issue is staying consistent with those habits. Motivation is helpful but I think what I need is discipline.
>Did you even feel the need to change?
Yes, for both of our sakes. Part of me is always thinking about how I'd be a safe space for her to open up and be herself or how I'd inspire her and help her overcome her fears. Another part of me wonders if I'd make a good father, that one really sticks with me. I'm always trying to be a clear communicator and absorb any knowledge I think is good parenting because of it.
>Had any bad habits (you dont have to say which) youre working/ed on breaking because you know they upset your love?
Now that I think about it, I don't think any of them would upset her except for one. All my bad habits are causes by my environment and being in Equestria with her would get rid of all of them.
>>43056344
Reading this made me realize I'm always thinking about what I can do for her but I've never considered what she'd want out of me or her perspective on my ideas of improving myself. I should put more thought into how she'd feel and think, I'm always stuck inside my own head it seems.

You ever want to write fictions or greens of your waifu but come up blank on a premise and or character motivations?
I want to write about her, even if it isnt just AiE stuff, but stories Ive read like BGPony and Anthropology have colored my views on what is available to write about.
A short story would be neat, but with all the longer stories I listen to at work, I want so badly to make something worth following over a longer span of time

Start small: Short stories or short comics instead of burning out on a poorly planned epic. Start with a simple everyday situation or a gag you can dive into and build your foundational skills with because experience is the remedy for "mind goes blank and I don't do shit because I don't really know where to start". Short stories/comics will also immediately pull an audience if shared in the right places, and provide you with feedback to improve faster.

That's exactly how I feel about my Non-Derpy waifu, too. I know Discord has flaws, but his voice, appearance and mannerisms make me fall in love all over again just by looking at him. He is the one for me, and Derpy is the one for (You).

Yeah, the love just happens to you, it's how you react that makes all the difference - there's a lot of stuff you can do with that control, and within that set there's a lot of dead ends and difficult points. But the reason I said that is more to emphasize that us internet-brained people are usually quite disconnected from our body and our feelings, drifting above the world. I could imagine that, love being the mysterious healing force it is, for some highly emotional people they'd feel waifuism better by leaning into intellectual understanding and rational order! Love is like that, it compensates, always pushes towards growth.

This is my Noodle. There are as many Noodles as there are ponyfags, but this one is mine.
I was meeting some Anons across the border yesterday and brought home a box of truffles. Both chocolate ones, lel, but also some magic ones. So in roughly one week from now, I'll be consuming them to help me snap out of my depressive haze by connecting with my senses more (esp. touch and smell), but chances are I will ponder my Noodle waifu. If there's a "Discordfag takes drugs" bingo, the free space is "Discord". If my tulpa comes back, I promise I won't use him as a distraction from working through my IRL issues.

Its not often I have the motivation to do anything creative, and get to "meet" new anons outside of cons.
Definitely recommend it. If you don't then next time it or another event comes around, drop your deets in thread and I'll send you a gift personally, even if its just a letter, and a doodle (maybe a shirt too once i get my finances up again) . Some people here can vouch for me.
The age of penpals lives on, surprisingly. I'm sending letters back and forth with a couple people from the event/cons even now!

So I've been trying to talk to my Discord despite not having a charming tupper to engage in tuppertastic chit-chat with. It's too early to report any results, but I'm in a phase of potentially clarifying some nebulous doubts I've been having about living up to mai waifu. Just let me cook for a while.
