/a/ - Animu & Mango

Scribeanon here. Those quotes and such from the r/a/dio threads and elsewhere will be ready by Christmas, so hopefully this thread lasts until then.

Awesome. I have a few saved, but unfortunately I seem to be missing a number of them that I was looking for.

>>859990

I like this idea. I'll try to implement it where I can remember to. I can't find my archive of the "dakis ain't nothing but hoes and tricks" post, but I know some anon has that screenshot.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Y-yes that's exactly who I meant. He was a bit much, but he's an important part of our cultures and traditions.

Might I suggest a religious excerpt?

Meyjar orðum Maiden's speech

skyli manngi trúa, should no man trust,

né því er kveður kona, nor which a woman says,

því að á hverfanda hveli for on a whirling wheel

voru þeim hjörtu sköpuð, their hearts were shaped,

brigð í brjóst um lagin. falsehood fixed in their chest.

Stanza 84 of the Hávamál the words of Odin.

I'll have to read up more on Anima but I feel it'll fit well in the beginning passage. I'll have to do a lot more research into Hermes Trismegistus, but I believe his works would fit well into the /x/-related section on magic and its relationship to the waifu.

Added. The goal of the first section is to take excerpts from various religious texts while tying them into waifuism. Later that section will be expanded with historical accounting and historical stories of waifus and the like.

I'm quite tired, so this will likely be rambling, but I'd like to put down my opinion on the importance of merch.

Now the benefit of merchandise (or any physical representation of your waifu) is that it offers a passive way for her to exist in your life or consciousness. Without it, you are relying on active ways to keep her in your thoughts and mind. Like watching her anime, browsing through pictures or simply thinking of her. These work, but require time, effort and concentration (though I doubt any would complain.) Merchandise offers an easier way to keep her in your thoughts, and thus exist in your life. It can be a well placed figure you see every time you enter your room, or a daki you hold as you fall asleep each night. Even a simple picture of her on your desk can work, but I believe it is important to have at least one physical representation of your waifu somewhere. It can ensure she remains in your consciousness as much as possible, even when you are tired or distracted by other things in life.

I don't even know if other Anons agree with this. It's just how I feel about it.

I've set my merchandise up like a shine of sorts in one of my book shelves on my desk. I think it brings me good fortune with offerings of cigarettes and such.

>>860003

That's pretty neat. I've taken the opposite approach and have strategically placed figures all over my room so that I can see at least one from any location that I'm commonly in.

>>860005

I got photos around my place and in my work office. I don't give a flying fuck when I tell the secretary to organize my waifus pictures in the file cabinet.

>>860010

>What can I do for you Mr. Anon?

<I need you to get sales on the line, make me a coffee, one cream, no sugar, and sort my waifu file from most lewd to least lewd, and remember hand holding is lewd and belongs at the top of the file above ahegao but below sex in the missionary position with leg locking

>Yes Mr. Anon, right away.

>>860099

I can think of little things that put your head so up your ass more than saving screenshots of your own posts. It's narcissist and pathetic.

I suggest a section on the many Gods and religion-type things that have sprung from anime, such as Keima-kun, Haruhi, Madoka, Love Live and idols, Miku, and what exactly each means.

You should also put some images in there, to make it more beautiful to look, such as the one in the OP

Speaking of that image, where did you get it? What is it portraying? Is it a specific setting?

Good work, Anon. One suggestion I have is consider keeping a changelog going forward. As this thing gets bigger it might be hard for Anons to critique updates if they don't know what's changed. I doubt people will read through the whole thing every revision to see what's different and small changes might get overlooked.

>>860315

I'm planning on making changes be in red ink for each new rendition, but I could see about making a ghostbin changelog. As a side note, how would anons feel about the book being password protected going forward?

>>860327

>password protected

Why though? I don't have any problem with it but I don't see the point.

How is it coming along anon?
