Who is Your Waifu?

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The eyelashes are what pulls me in.

Spoiler

But let's talk about something else:

Why the fuck do you say waifu? Why not just say nonexistent crush? Why not just not bother with it?

 

[Vigormortis]

While I personally think that waifu is a word that needs to go die in a fire alongside...causal...

But, how will I affiliate one circumstance having caused another without my "causals"? Getting rid of that word would be madness! Madness, I say!

I agree with getting rid of 'noob', though. Not only is it a stupid word but the proper spelling is newb; which is shorthand for newbie[footnote]Which is an actual, honest-to-goodness real word.[/footnote].

 

[FPLOON]

I must say, the replies I see in this thread give me a good hint that most users here are in the 14-18 age range.

But, I'm not even in that age range... I'm 21, according to my profile... *pauses and rereads his own statement*

...I'm not helping my case at all...

Anyway, this thread reminds me of the song "S.UPER W.AIFU A.NIMATED G.IRLFRIEND"... (Or S.W.A.G....) Only with more "friendship powah"!

Sir, I like the cut of your jib! I find myself in need a waifu to take to the dance...

OT: Nevermind. I am sorry, [user]leyke[/user], but it is a glorious day for I have at last found my waifu!

Spoiler: The only waifu in the world for me

Azura the fair, whose sphere is the Dusk and the Dawn. I would happily drift off into a slumber at dusk under her watchful gaze and wake again to greet her noble countenance at dawn. And those curves. Those luscious curves. Holy mama fu>>>>>-

Well as much time as I spend with Lydia (Skyrim) we might as well be married...wait...um, how binding are Amulets of Mara considered in the state of Michigan?

Runner up: Hinoki (Betterman)

[Crazy Zaul]

oh look, even more reasons to play Persona... WTF are those Sony assholes doing not selling them in Europe. (On PS3)

I like actually being able to recognize characters in these threads since I started watching anime. (But so far only 2 anime chars)

Haha

I already went and sorted mine out a page ago.

It's a weird topic, but eh, why the hell not.

Spoiler

Waifu - A fictional character from non-live-action visual media (typically an anime, manga, or video game) that one is attracted to and considers a significant other.

- Wiktionary [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/waifu]

The fuck's a Waifu? The parameters of that definition just give me even more questions. Attracted to, fine, but 'considers a significant other..?' - Does that mean they have to be part of 'team' or 'party'? I thought S/Os were agreed by common consensus to be a identify-neutral parlance for romantic or sexual partnership? Is that just the daydream aspect of the term? Especially applied to linear entertainment - is it just both drooling over and rooting for a character? Romantic Favoritism? How does this concept even work?

...

But, alas, while I don't know what I'm talking about, I'll point out what I guess were my alleged 'Waifus' (or just 'fancied fictions') that I can remember.

Right there with you, man.

I had to ponder this for a while...

Elizabeth (BioShock Infinite)

Sodina Dawnfried (Thousand Arms)

Iris (MegaMan X4)

Elhaym "Elly" Van Houten (Xenogears)

Zoey (Left 4 Dead)

I think you can see the pattern there, especially if you know those characters.
And it extends into real life too.

EDIT: I had to add Zoey, because when I play Left 4 Dead my sole goal is to keep Zoey alive. t's easiest if I play as Zoey, because then I don't have to worry about her.

Spoiler: Kallen Kozuki

Yeah, it's a bit superficial (seriously, that chest) but I do find her lively, tough, and somewhat fun to be around.

+1 for Kallen!
Don't let the rack (or ass) distract you; she's smart, principled, dedicated and a hardcore badass ...and not without emotional depth. She's also not a demon, alien, pseudo-human monster (looking at you Lucy) or a homicidal maniac (again, Lucy) so she goes straight to the top of my waifu leaderboard.

+1 for ME3's Samantha Traynor too. True, she's a lesbian but it's not as if I had a chance anyway; she's also almost 200 years in the future and fictional.

Honorable mention to Chizuru from Bleach - another lesbian but she's a cutie and I can't help but wish her the best in her absolutely earnest and not-a-chance-in-hell hopeless devotion to Orihime.

 

[Alcom1]

Wyldstyle, most likely. The movie she is in hasn't even come out yet, but from what I've seen she's a terrifyingly potent builder.

Spoiler: My First Choice

Yes yes I will Stannis I'm so glad you asked Stannis.

Spoiler: My Second Choice

Great pad, romantic type, shapeshifting abilities.

It's a pity they're both straight. Well, the first one was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but still. Throws a wrench into the imagination machine. I can't think of anybody gay.

Mate you're fucking tops. Stannis Baratheon is the Fucking man and the best choice for King of the Seven Kingdoms, behind The Lord Commander himself (It's a spoiler don't look it up if you don't want anything either somewhat ruined, although it is only a theory and was introduced in the First Book, so it's not that bad, but still Spoiler).

Spoiler: Mikasa Ackerman

This chick is seriously one of the most badass female leads I have ever seen and I honestly consider her to be the coolest character in the entire show

 

[hickwarrior]

Whelp, I'll throw my hat in the ring. I've already seen someone actually nominate Lily from katawa shoujo. She is a very kind and gentle woman, very romantic. I really liked what both hisao and she went through, through her story.

And I'll never forget this scene:

Spoiler

Man... this game just releases some memories to me. And no matter what, no other fictional will come close to her I feel. But that's just what happens when you feel that for the first time.

I just hope I didn't come off creepy.

 

[AsurasEyes]

I'd say Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion because the idea of having around three dozen clones of my waifu running around my house would be fucking awesome, but I wouldn't want to live in the Evangelion universe, nor would I want to take Gendo's waifu from him.

So instead, I say Knives Chau from Scott Pilgrim.

 

[Silvanus]

Mate you're fucking tops. Stannis Baratheon is the Fucking man and the best choice for King of the Seven Kingdoms, behind The Lord Commander himself (It's a spoiler don't look it up if you don't want anything either somewhat ruined, although it is only a theory and was introduced in the First Book, so it's not that bad, but still Spoiler).

I'm in Stannis' camp, but I have one reservation, and her name is Melisandre. Sadistic, fanatic person. If Stannis gets rid of her I can be behind him 100%.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I have never seen a female character in Anime that I'd want to have as a friend, let alone a girlfriend. For whatever reason, they seem to come equipped with any one of a half dozen or so utterly broken personalities and often come with various psychosis, personality disorders, or crippling social disorders to boot.

It's like asking which sitcom wife would you want as your own wife: the answer is none of them because people who constantly generate funny situations from the outside are a pain in the ass to deal with up close.

I have my reservations about Melisandre, but you know who completely overshadows her and makes me 100% a man for the King in the Narrow Sea, Davos Seaworth. That man is in my top 3 favorite characters and his willingness to what's right make me absolutely love him and by extension Stannis.

 

[Rooster893]

I have two characters that I can say without a doubt are my waifus.

Spoiler: Waifu #1

Sasha from InFAMOUS.

Oh, Sasha. How deliciously obsessed with Cole you are. Honestly, she's quite insane, thanks to Kessler. But maybe that's the reason I love her... or maybe it's the stripperiffic thing she's got going on, or maybe it is that amazing, silky voice.

Yeah, it's probably really weird, but I just love her for some reason.

Spoiler: Waifu #2

Mileena from Mortal Kombat.

This chick is AWESOME! She's a badass, evil assassin who uses Sai, and takes a childlike glee in killing her targets. Now, most of you are probably thinking, "Ok, the body is acceptable, but the TEETH!" What if I told you the tarkatan teeth wasn't a dealbreaker? Yeah, it doesn't really bother me. I love her entirely.

...yeah, I guess I have a thing for deadly, mentally unhinged women. .__.

 

[pspman45]

I ain't gay or nothin
but Kanji Tatsumi from Persona 4
I even have a little statue of him and everything. What a fuckin hero.
my not gay one is Naoto Shirogane, also from Persona 4

 

[el derpenburgo]

Isn't waifu like a tongue in cheek insult for "perfect girlfriend" type deals? Or has the reclamation already begun?

 

[wildwind1290]

Spoiler: At the top of the heap...

Cagalli Yula Atha from Gundam SEED.

Girls like Cagalli come only once in a blue moon. She's a stubborn one and a tomboy if there ever once was one, but she's the kind of girl who'll push back if shoved and more than willing to fight for her country and what she believes in. Plus, she's a skilled diplomat, a pretty good shot, and a welcome addition to the sorority of badass female mobile suit pilots in the Gundam series...and then Gundam SEED Destiny came along and chucked all that out the nearest airlock. Thanks a bunch, Sunrise.

Spoiler: A close second...

Charlotte Dunois from Infinite Stratos.

Out of all the girls in Infinite Stratos, Charlotte, the transfer student from France, is the one character who holds my interest the most. She's kind, demure, and mature but still young at heart, but you put her in an IS she will own you. Plus, when you consider the fact that she has an IS that's technically a generation behind compared to the other characters (two, in other cases), she's technically fighting with a handicap. That says a lot about her skill level. I haven't watched season 2 yet, but Charlotte deserves some more spotlight.

And that smile. Good buttery God, that smile is so friggin' cute it's lethal.

Spoiler: Running third...

Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Lucina captured my heart with her kind of determined, never-say-die spirit. But as you see from her support conversations, though, she's got a softer side that captures you just as easily. Plus, if I was going on an adventure, you better damn well know I would want Lucina at my back going through a door. She's no joke with that Falchion of hers.

Spoiler: Rounding out the top five...

4. Lilly Satou (Katawa Shoujo): Even though my friends have convinced me that Katawa Shoujo is largely overrated, I still love it. And if there's one girl that managed to got me so involved in the game it still keeps me going even after it's over, it's Lilly. Speaking of Katawa Shoujo, Hanako comes a close second behind Lilly, but Lilly just oh-so-slightly eked her out.

5. Naoto Shirogane (Persona 4):I won't lie, I had to flip a coin between her and Rise for best Social Link. I love a smart character, and her challenge to reconcile her inner conflict of being a woman and her idea that being a detective is more of a "male" thing is something that draws you in to being a character.
