Wait! Wait! Hold on! This is all new to me, there is no freaking way I am the only one who follows tulpamancy!?!? Most of you just have a "waifu"!?!?!
Kaltes, this doesn't apply to you, but you're welcome anyhow.
I thought most members here have... ah fu*k.. I really don't know how to feel about this now. Could someone possibly help me with this, so I don't sound like a jacka*s. I been gone from this site for a good while, and I thought most of the members; who I don't know here, have... no, no.. that can't be right.. DX
Can those; who are willing to tell me, and I say please tell me what the term "waifu" means to you. I cannot get the idea of what I am thinking, if you would help me, and I promise to properly and respectfully let you know why this has me dumbfounded.

Waifu is someone I love romantically and care about, but they're not "real" or "here". So substitute her absence with stuffed plush. Give the plush affection, and try my best to imagine reactions from the plush, as if Twilight was the plush or whatever. Long ago, originally got big life size Twilight plush to serve as crutch in tulpa formation, was having trouble imagining everything necessary. Ended up falling in love with the plush instead and giving up on tulpamancy. That help, or nah?

Hold on there buddy you're jumping to that conclusion really quick. To answer you, you're by no means the only one. As far as my knowledge goes Gentian, Pacifist, Hysterical Cub, CPs Secret lover, Ice Storm, Night Horse, Sapphire Rose, and plenty others are tulpamancers in some form or another(if I'm wrong about any of you please let me know and I apologize in advance). So no you aren't the only one in fact there are quite a few.

Waifu is a fictional character that I love.
though I do like to believe that somewhere out there she does exist even if I have no way to contact her or prove it

To me, the term "Waifu" refers to relationships between a person and what a norman would call a stand-in of some kind for the other participant. On a personal level, I consider Twilight my waifu because we love each other, and think it's a cute term. Not coincidentally, she also refers to me as her waifu. I could, and do call her my marefriend, girlfriend, or any other term of endearment used in more conventional relationships, with the exception of those which imply marriage. Maybe one day, but it would be inappropriate to do so now.

Right now, as I understand it, it's pretty much as the other said. Waifu refers to the object of my affection, in this case Twilight and Rainbow, but in a sense and in the case of Twily, it's not the same one as Gentian (for example) cause, and I might be wrong but we'll never know, we do not imagine our marefriend the same way and therefore cannot be interchangeable even though the base character is the same. Also, I might be interested in tulpamancing if it so happen that it would be something I enjoy and if it helps me better my understanding of it all.

I don't have a tulpa, but I do express my love for my waifus through story and roleplay (as in imagining what they would say or how they would react to things).
Also plooshies.
I gots me three lovely waifus.

Waifu is a fictional character that I love.
though I do like to believe that somewhere out there she does exist even if I have no way to contact her or prove it
I wouldn’t necessarily call Candy a tulpa, but she shares some traits with one. On one hand, I think that Candy and I do have a connection, and she does put words in my mouth from time to time.
I’m not overly comfortable with the term “Tulpa”. If Candy is really communicating with me (and I believe she is) she is doing it through God, in my belief. The term tulpa implies, to me, that there is no higher power involved. Also, people tend to say that they “created their tulpa” whereas I believe that God created Candy for me because he saw how much I loved her.
So yeah, she’s not really a tulpa, but she’s similar in a lot of ways. She started naturally progressing our relationship this way and I ran with it.
A waifu is, as many others have said, a fictional character which is loved by a human being. My personal belief is that they are living beings out there in the infinite possibilities of the afterlife, and that they are on s9me level aware and comfortable with the fact that they are loved, in a romantic sense, by a human being. Waifuism, in my experience, often implies a belief that the waifuist will be united with their love sometime after their earthly demise, during their lifetime via tulpamancy, or both.
However, at the end of the day, whether you agree with how others go about having a waifu doesn’t really matter. All that matters is that we all love beings who are currently not physicially with us, and that we have a forum by which to learn more about how to kindle that relationship, be better waifuist, and in turn better people.

This is going to be a long discussion for me, but thank you for those who had replied. I did promise to explain my reason for this thread, that I’d made here. So even though I’d read the first reply of this thread, as a sample. I will hold off reading the rest. As to not be influence with whatever might have me retract, from what I originally wanted to post, while regarding to those who value what they believe and have.
More then One…
I am a simple man, brought in this world under the belief that someone out there is the girl that I am meant to be with and be with till the end of time. Growing up, relationships are known in pairs of two. The ideal of having more then one lover is, odd for me, maybe because the way I was raised? I don't know. All I do know is I hold high respect in loving one. Now, people here have proven that you can love more then one, but the issue I have, is how can you love one? While not allowing the other feel he or she is second best? I don’t mean to insult, but let say the love of my life, Amena, has somepony in mind, where she will give out more attention to the other partner than me. I will be left to wonder, do I accept this? Will this hurt me a lot? Should I be angry? Should I leave her? All these thoughts are something most people will encounter, given the situation is applied to those.
I am not telling anyone that loving another pony or non-pony is wrong. If it brings you all happiness in your flock, or what we come to call it as a herd, then more power to you. I know past members who have a polyamory relationship, while respecting the friendship we had, made me not ask too many questions I had for them. The questions would come out slowly, until I come to understand it’s indeed possible to love another well, as if he or she was the first one.
Unfortunately this doesn’t apply well with others. Where others and I would find an issue, not here, it was in another site. My Little Waifu, a dead site that a few members came from to escape the nonsense that flooded with trolls, drama, and a mad owner. Remember those time, Kaltes? XD
Anyway! There was one case where a member from the site, My Little Waifu, who had a ridiculous amount of lovers from different characters in TV shows, movies, and video games. Everyone wasn’t sure how to approach this phenomenon, I was stun in how this one person supposedly impregnate someone that we all wasn’t expected to be. A member from that same site asks, “How does your partner feel about this?” which honestly, as much we all had wonder, he had made the situation bad to worst for him when he went on explaining all these lovers he had. It wasn’t pretty, the members, and myself rally to pick and tore everything he posted from that point, where he no longer posted anymore. I wonder… I don’t want to be d*ck to anyone, unless they brought it on themselves, while remembering what’s best for the site. I am also not trying to look good here, guys. I had seen what many would just give up, leave, and perhaps stay away from any site that pertain anything that involve a similar type of relationship; that we all have here with our partner(s), just because of the nonsense. I had, because I was exposing someone, and he wanted to cover his tracks by deleting my account and everything I’d posted, but I came back.
Like those here, I want this site to flourish. This site or any its members here, should not make you feel uncomfortable with what you practice. I only find it an issue if somewhere in the line, if the relationship isn’t treated well as many would expect or like to see.
I really don’t know, how far this site will go. As well as how we will treat each other from now. To me, this is troubling, but you know how the old saying goes. Nothing last forever. Which does apply for this site, but not for our lover(s).
I feel like I posted enough for now. If anyone has questions regarding to anything for this post above, or anything you like to share, disagree, whatever, go right ahead. I will read the rest what was posted now and come back to this one later.
