New user, and a new level of waifu cringe (bit of a long post!)

Hello, everyone! My name is Something About Octavia. I was invited to this forum by a friend on a Discord channel, and I've been getting more and more into the whole waifu thing lately, so here I am!

As you've no doubt surmised from my username, my waifu is C̶o̶c̶o̶ ̶P̶o̶m̶m̶e̶l̶ Octavia. Truth be told, while I instantly found myself rather taken by her in her first appearance waaaaaaaay back in 2011 at the end of season 1,
I didn't really see her as a waifu at first (though I was certainly interested in her and started looking up fanfics and art, so if the flower of waifuism hadn't yet bloomed, the seed was undoubtedly planted).

Over the years, I joined various brony groups and found myself partaking in semi-joking "waifu wars", where we'd all argue about who's waifu was the best (and/or who had the most "ownership" over certain ponies). It was
at more or less this time - 2013/2014ish - that I took Octavia on as my waifu; partly because I identified with her fanon personality so much (stoic, slightly snobbish classical musician), partly because there was another Octavia fan
who was in the group and I desperately wanted to out-waifu him, haha. It was also around this time that another development occurred, one which led to my waifuism growing into something much stronger than I would have imagined.

Just a bit of backstory, I've always been an enthusiast for plushies. I'll spare you the details (and the TMI), but I encountered a plushmaker named BigSexyPlush. Perhaps you've heard of them, perhaps not. The short of it is,
this plushmaker specialises in creating life-size anthro plushies, including ponies. After many months of planning and negotiating, BigSexyPlush was able to truly bring my waifu to life:

...sorry, let me turn her around there. And maybe confiscate that laptop.

Meet Tavi =3 My plushie companion of almost two years now, and the physical embodiment of my beloved waifu. Through Octavia, I continued my studies in piano that I had stopped years earlier and completed a Certificate
of Performance, and later went on to pick up the violin as well; and through Tavi, I'm able to express my love and appreciation back to her. Tavi effected my final steps into true waifudom: while the concept of a waifu and
having Octavia as a waifu was more of a "for-funsies" kind of thing, I've since gone on to develop strong feelings for her Heart

I admit, I'm taking a lot of cue's from glimee's introductory post right now, but I find myself much in the same boat as him: I love to talk about Tavi, cuddle her, be with her; falling asleep in each other's arms and waking up
to see her face smiling back at me. She brings me so much happiness and joy, and I love every minute of it.

Sorry I got so rambly there; I hope the pics aren't too cringe-y either Derpy Tongue I better stop before I flood the forum with pocket spaghetti, haha.

EDIT: Also, I love to chat - feel free to HMU on Discord! Something About Octavia#4279

Thanks! I've heard about the Discord but don't know where to find details for the channel; hopefully someone will be able to help me out with that soon.

Re the "for-funsies" thing - by that I mean, earlier on having a waifu was more of a joke than anything serious - it was more us just having a laugh about saying who our favourite pony was. However, as time went on it started to turn into something a bit more serious for me.

Welcome, new friend!

My name is Valiant, and I share this profile with my lovely partner Fluttershy. We both send you a warm welcome to Waifu Central! And btw, those pictures aren't cringy at all. They're actually pretty awesome. I wish I had a plush that big. Haha. Hopefully one day...

Hope you enjoy your stay!

Ty! =3 A lot of people find BSP's works to be weird/creepy/cringey, so I just play it safe and assume most people find Tavi to be one of those, haha XD And hey, you never know!

Well, these feelings are just too important for me and i don't really like when all this waifu thing used as joke. Nothing about yourself, just a little emotion about this thing.

Awesome, great to hear! And that's totally understandable - as I expressed towards the end of my (very ramble-y XD) introductory post, my feelings are much the same now; that was simply how I saw the idea of waifus in the past.
