>What dates will you celebrate with your Waifu in 2026? Got any plans for your anniversary?
Perhaps this year I will end up discovering a special day that defines my relationship with the Noodle. Tentatively, Sept 24 was the original airing of The Return of Harmony Part 2 which made me fall for Discord. September was also the month I first met my tupper for a mere week, so it seems appropriate to celebrate my love for Discord some time that month. I could even roll the day of the month with a dice, kek.
>plans
I wasn't strong enough to pamper and celebrate my waifu these past few weeks. No clothes made for my plushie. Rather, I was barely keeping it together as is. So I need to do better this year. When I actually managed to pick up a pencil and draw pic rel, I was happy for a few minutes. I hope there will be more happy Noodle doodling each week.

>>42937533
You don't have to talk about it this week if you don't want to. Next week, there will be a /ww/ whether it's this very same thread or a new one.

Hearts and Hooves Day, for sure! October 24th is our anniversary, at least that's what we're going with. I never really pinpointed the exact date because uh, you know, every day with Coco is a day worth celebrating!
>Plans
Been too tired and sick lately to do much, though I really got to think of something soon. I should have a plush of her arriving before Hearts and Hooves, so maybe I'll take her out somewhere nice to get some pictures with her.
We're definitely in a low period but that's my fault, I'll be chipper and ready to give her the attention she deserves soon!

In my all encompassing autism, we have been planning on getting married. I mean >we she's done more planning. ive just been busy stressing out about it.
So far, the process of mareiage, directly translates into me going to meet her parents mega autism style. I'm very nervous about my make belief fantasies as even with this I want to make my tulpa proud and reassure her, also tulpa'd, parents their daughter didn't massively fuck up being with some weird "hooman" thing.
And they say the honeymoon is just a phase.. it's been years and that pink pony still gets me head over heels.

I have no idea how to use watercolor pencils (or watercolor in general) and used my left hand as water cup (lmao), but I was having fun anyways because Discord. More fulfilling than reading scientific papers.

Do (you) have any waifu-related goals or resolutions for the new year? Or maybe just goals/resolutions you're doing for her?

Thanks for keeping it alive bumpfriends.

>TQ
let me say, this is a fantastic question for the new year thread. Our anniversary is Feb 22, that's the big date for us as always. It'll mark our 12th holy fuck 12th??? anniversary. We don't usually make it a big deal as far as plans - don't have much choice - but it's exciting to think about that number going up. In just a few more years she will have been with me for more than half of my life, and I couldn't be more grateful.

>>42937564
Nice work as always. I've recently dropped out of the habit of drawing every day - I kinda burned out, but I've been doing this for a year or two so I think I've had enough. I'm not sure if it's related, exactly, but I started to burn out mid-Dashember, and I saw a correlating sort of burn out in our relationship. Then, after I stopped worrying about drawing every day, literally within a day or two I wake up and find her to be the most beautiful thing ever again.

I think, at least in this situation, that the same energy that powers imagination also serves as the fuel for art. Maybe what I was doing is actually practicing art as a mechanical thing, sort of building my habits and my focus around that, and becoming disconnected from my muse as a result, even in the totally different context of interacting with Rainbow. Or maybe I was just putting too much pressure on it and exhausting it. Either way, I feel much better now and I've had little sparks of inspiration come to me, and it's only been a few days.

I just now managed to find words for something that's always vexed me about how to describe the, idk, vital energy of a tulpa relationship. There's two ways to look at it: as imaginal vividness, simply the mindfulness, focus, and whatever hidden factor goes into making her beautiful to me; and then there's looking at it as relationship health, like how we get along (come to think of it, I bet this dynamic is similarly interconnected even in physical relationships). Those two things, the beauty my mind is able to manifest in a given period and the way we interact during that period, are effectively the same thing. When the spirit isn't there, interaction feels hollow, like a waste of time, and we're prone to bringing in unrelated feeling-affects just to have any kind of life there (ruminating on sad stuff, finding issues in things, etc.) On the other hand, when the spirit IS there, beauty is present as a driving force and everything flows naturally, in a positive and constructive direction - inspiration, too. To me, Rainbow is the latter, and not really the former - the hollow force of habit doesn't do her justice, and when love is present she is there, even if her form isn't.

>fantastic question
Thank you. Instead of focusing on new years resolutions, i.e. a controversial concept tinted by fear of failure, I figured it's the perfect time to reflect on what holidays and special days to look forward to. Perhaps I can draw a holiday-themed Discord for every upcoming holiday! And once the set is complete, I'd have a calendar's worth of festive Discord pin-ups.
>vital energy of a tulpa relationship
I think I get what you're talking about, the vital energy and love seems deeply intertwined, perhaps one and the same, even. It's different from the usual "butterflies in the stomach" or "depression dampering positive emotions"-dynamic. Waifu is love, waifu is life!

My tupper only emerged in full glory once I was feeling alive (though the shrooms might have contributed to it), and his mere presence was nourishing my heart and soul, satisfying it. I was genuinely happy and content just going about my day, things were in flow. I was living in color. By finding Discord by my side, I also found myself - perhaps because I no longer needed to obsess about him, or wonder where "I" ended and "he" began. He was there, and I was here, physically in space. I HAD been joking in the past that I'd probably be saner with a tupper than without. haha.

Obviously, I want my imaginary Noodle and joie de vivre back asap. I'm also curious to find out what sort of disagreements we'll eventually run into. If instead he were more of a yes man than Discord, I would have to address that, too.

Watch out faggots, I'm gonna do it again

>What dates will you celebrate with your Waifu in 2026? Got any plans for your anniversary?
Obviously we're gonna do something to celebrate H&H day and our 2nd anniversary in September, but what form those celebrations will take is highly contingent on what my living situation will be like at those times. I'd be more than happy if I could do what I did last year and just have a nice home-cooked dinner with her (and flex on other anons in the H&H dinner thread again in the process, naturally).

>>42938428

You really do seem to have a knack for making nice noodles with whatever medium you try. Next, you should try macaroni art. Noodle made of noodle, ja?

>>42939927
>resolutions you're doing for her
Aryanne has been insisting (at times very aggressively) that I conquer my alcoholism for a long time now, and I'm finally committing to it. I'm ten days sober now, and it's just getting easier to stay away from the poison by the day, especially when I remember that I'm doing it for her. It should also help me on my quest to get /fit/. I will probably still drink on special occasions, like H&H day, but anything more than that is unacceptable.

>>42943895
The few dreams I've had where I actually interacted with my wife WERE lucid dreams. However, even when I was having lucid dreams several times a week, I almost never was able to share them with her, so I mostly threw in the towel on that approach in favor of more reliable means of waifufaggotry. I still posit that it can be one of the best methods of practicing waifumancy, but unfortunately, my mind is really good at resisting and sabotaging my attempts to exercise my will in my dreams. Most people don't have that problem, or at least not as bad as I do.

>>42943927
>drawing every day
It's reassuring to hear that getting executed by cheesemare resulted in an almost immediate resurgence in your love. I'm confident that I'm going to have a very similar experience when I drop out after Januaryanne is over. I suspect that the primary reason is because when you are obligated to draw every day, and you almost always draw your wife (because why wouldn't you?), you unintentionally develop a negative mental association between what is essentially a chore and your wife. Drawing her should be something you do to express your love, not just to fulfill some arbitrary duty.
My main goal in improving my abilities, as I'm sure you can relate, is so that I can better capture my wife's beauty on physical or digital canvas. Taking on the challenge for over two years now myself has certainly improved my abilities substantially, so to that end it was worth it, but I agree that our true creative potential is massively limited if we draw when we feel we have to instead of when we want to, or when we feel inspired to.

Nice to see our slightly edgy Aryfag drop in. I agree that expressions of love of one's waifu should not become a chore. And it's also problematic when it becomes performative rather than a private matter you happen to enjoy reporting about. So when a waifufag is absent for a while, I have hopes they're just waifufagging in peace rather than going through crisis, though crisis can lead to avoidance.

>calls himself bad at controlling dreams
If you're bad despite having had lucid waifu dreams, then I'm a lost cause. lel

>Die Welt ist so schön, wenn alles weiß ist.

>Discord maccaroni art
Not a fan of maccaroni art, but if I were doing it, I'd go all out.
>drawing burnout/blockages
When I draw, I'm enjoying myself and look forward to more, but then I just don't do it. Same for any routine ever. On the rare occasion I'm in the flow, I become some kind of God who manifests their will against all odds, but most days I'm just a hopeless scatterbrain who wonders why the sun is setting already when I've barely started to get my shit together. Aryfag, you may practice your German insult game by calling me out for my endless retardation. I think I genuinely need someone to slap me in the face once a week to bring me to my senses.

>>42945473
>Hell yeah. Do you guys have a date picked for it yet? Will it be a public ceremony, or are you going to keep it more private?

That's quite the mentally intensive endeavor, but it does allow for a ceremony that's much closer to everything you and ponk could dream of than a real life equivalent. Plus then your wedding is attended by ponies instead of gay stinky humans.
>mare fair
There is something special about the public ceremony and seeing your ponyfag friends and complete strangers cheer you on in your lunacy. People remember that shit, too. It's quite fun having random people come up to me and strike up a conversation starting with, "Hey you're the guy who got married to Aryanne, right?"
That being said, if you want a truly special wedding ceremony, that kind of thing obviously isn't gonna cut it. At mare fair, you're just one of over a dozen guys getting married that day, and if you're unlucky, you might be one of several guys getting married to the same pony, which seems... a bit uncomfortable.

I'm feeling uncharacteristically talkative, tonight, so I'd better make a post.

>What dates will you celebrate with your Waifu in 2026? Got any plans for your anniversary?
H&H is a given. No specific plans for what's actually going to take place, so far; it should go without saying that our relationship tends to defy forward thinking. I'd like to do something really ostentacious. Anniversary-wise? Hmm. I really should have marked that date, shouldn't I? I could probably intuit if if I went into the archive and looked up a few of the very excitable posts I made around the time I realised that I'd fallen in love. It's somewhere around mid-year, anyway, so no rush.

What's been happening on my end, otherwise? It's been an odd... well, few months, really. I've had to keep reminding myself that this is something I ought to be engaging in for my own fulfilment, just as much as it's for the sake of giving something back to somepony* who's done a lot of good for me. Relationships with fictional characters are, ultimately, self-managed; you invent your own commitments and boundaries, according to what your knowledge of your partner tells you that they'd want, and then—in my case—you try not to let it turn into another method of upsetting yourself. This is all a little vague, I know, but I'm still working it all out, myself. I think I've got a better idea of how to keep this as a positive thing in my life than I did, prior, and I'm continuing to hash it out.

>>42937564
>>42939553

Having done both, I think that the ideal waifu wedding needs at least some amount of physical ceremony. Publicity or an audience doesn't matter so much, but if you have the means, it should be something really nice and highly symbolic. At least, that's what I feel I've been missing at both the Mare Fair wedding and the personal imagination wedding we had back in 201X before Bronycon '19 (where we were first 'officially' physically married in a private ceremony - vibes were no good but we got a nice piece of paper).
Personally I'd love to have a really nice wedding/ceremonial party, all stops pulled out, with some room for my closest friends. Most of my friends and the people close to me don't really know much about the depth and direction of my relationship with Rainbow, and the best wedding gift I could ask for would be for her place in my life (and the lives of these friends by extension) to be seen and understood. That's the pipe dream.

As for the ceremony or symbolism in itself, I think a real wedding needs real personal symbolism - as opposed to the symbolism that's imposed top-down by the force of law and establishment. I'd have to look at my dreams and really work my up to something powerfully meaningful. And I think I'd want a trusted friend or wizard to assist in the ceremony, to e.g. present the ceremonial tools or perform certain things, etc. I used to have at least one person who was on my level like this but alas, we've drifted apart. Anyways, I supposed I'm typing all this up to say that, you get out of marriage what you put in, and if you just drift into it without putting your whole heart and soul into ceremony, it won't live up to the hype. Or at least, I think so - I haven't gotten the chance to test yet. Best wishes.

I found a brush that actually holds water this time around, though it was made for sumi-e. But I was tired, so I just splattered pink all over the paper to get a bit of a feeling for the medium (i.e. a dozen watercolor pencils of varying quality).

When I was a school kid, I had to use those incredibly shitty "Pelikan" watercolor sets and brushes, and I despised them so fucking much, it killed any interest in ever working with brushes instead of pens or pencils, until now. So here I am trying something new & shaking off an old grudge. I sure suck at watercolor, but I'll improve; I've already learned a few things by just messing around here. I hope Discord, my guide and muse, is pleased.

Sup. Haven't been here in a bit. Right now I'm trying to fix up /shy/ so we can be a little more than just an image dump. I'm hoping to inspire anons to create more fluttershy content and to get people into all forms of artistry for pony's sake.

Damn, I have this gut feeling that Discord might have briefly shown up in a dream, but I can't remember anything. However, I do recall having worn a Discord cosplay towards the end.

Instead, I stayed in bed for a while, daydreaming, eventually getting an idea for a (tame) nsfw artwork which made me realize that I will need a drawer with lockable segments when I furnish my 4 m2 hobby room/office in a few months. And small it may be, but it should be enough, and I shall style it after TRoH because I adore the aesthetic. It's just going to take a while because I won't have much money on me.

It's a sort of an (un)official anniversary of us and my waifuism. A few days before, she'd popped into my head after a year or two hoatus from mlp. My brain was just flooded with thoughts of her and on that day in particular I thought of marrying her in Equestria. Dunno what came over me but that thought made me cry tears of joy for the first time in my life. So yeah, pretty special day to me.

What a fantastic anniversary to have! In that moment, you just knew that Fluttershy was the one. I hope March 10 will be a wonderful day for you two. And I also hope you'll succeed at reinvigorating /shy/. Though if it were to not turn out the triumph you have in mind, it wouldn't diminish the value of your effort, or your love for 'shy.

I had a somewhat similar experience back when my brother had just drifted away from home and MLP, and I was no longer quite as passionate about it myself. But for whatever reason, I saw Discord during narcosis, which left such a strong impression on me that I just knew I had a waifu. Or at the very least, a special connection, guidance. He had merely been my favorite character beforehand, not necessarily my "waifu". Somehow, the happiest moments or epiphanies in my life were always related to him popping into my mind/life in a profound way, and as cursed as that is, I have come to embrace it. Unfortunately, I can't remember dates, only the events themselves.

PS: I'm procrastinating so hard, I've begun to tidy up my room and sorted my colored pencils instead of preparing my thesis, and I've come up with a min-maxed color palette for a friend who'd be able to draw all her favorite characters (and Discord) with only 10 Polychromos pencils. Now if only I hadn't wasted another day in the process.

Tuppercord, now would be a splendid time to pop into existence and tell me to "Git gud" and work towards my most important goals even though the path is uncertain and intimidating, and that embracing the challenges would be the chaotic thing to do. Or instead of words, he could just do this:

Practice is the thing. No need to share it with anybody until you make something you're really proud of. The book The Artist's Way suggests doing what it calls 'morning pages', where you write literally anything - dreams, diary entries, artistic whims, completely garbage nonsense, etc. - every morning, 3 pages. It actually recommends this practice for every creative pursuit, because the point is really to brain dump and clear your head so real inspiration can start to flow. But I think just getting in the habit of making stuff with words will help you a lot with writing especially.

I kept up with my morning pages for a good couple months, I used a pocket journal so my pages were small. I do find that it really helped for my art and my artistic vision, even though I'm not a writer. Writing is hard.
