#F/O gushing aside... let's talk design specifics!

[stars-self-ships]

Not too long ago, I made a post where, on a day where I had been surging with Bi Energy, expressed interest in wanting a taur boyfriend. At the time, I wasn't really sure it would be anything more than an idea, just something I could think about every now and then. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to take that extra step and make an OC that would also serve as a romantic F/O.

Here on tumblr, you don't see too much representation of self-shippers pairing themselves with their own OCs, though it certainly is something a lot of those in the self-shipping community do if posts like this are any indication! And with that being said, to all of my friends and those in the self-ship community (Like @stephysalcido, @minxxikuo and @sakura-nyah), it is with great pleasure that I finally introduce you to...

My taur boyfriend, Miles 🧡🤍🧡

Full Name: Miles Whitley Stephenson Gender: Male Date of Birth: May 14th, 1999 Age: Twenty-One Height: 8'5" Species: Centaur

Appearance: Miles' upper human half is relatively lean in terms of weight. He has short, blonde hair, bright green eyes, freckles, and wears glasses. Miles is most commonly seen wearing a baggy bermuda gray hoodie with a small gay flag button pinned to its front. Underneath it, he usually wears a t-shirt of a bright color, typically orange as it is his favorite color. Miles' centaur half is greatly reminiscent of a palomino horse, with an extraordinarily large, bushy tail that is identical in color to his hair.

Overview: Miles is best described as a socially awkward and passive centaur. Given his introverted nature, he is prone to speaking quietly and can sometimes be very short on words unless he is speaking to somebody who he confides his trust in. Miles is also overly self-conscious about his taur half, and will sometimes stay inside to do away with the fear of being stared at in public. In spite of his hesitance, however, Miles is a very dependable and kind individual, always one to care deeply about the well-being of others.

If there's one thing that Miles is noteworthy for (Aside from being half horse), it's his fascination with all things classic video games. Miles is something of a video game nerd, and in turn loves to go thrift store hunting to see if he can pick up any good finds. While nothing particularly impressive, he has a small collection of his favorite titles and consoles proudly strewn about his room, and spends most of his nights seated in front of a CRT TV playing video games. His favorite console is the Nintendo 64, and some of his favorite games include Paper Mario, Pilotwings 64 amidst a few others.

While Miles can be very reclusive about his thoughts and passions in the presence of others, he is not shy about showing his true colors in front of his significant other... me! Miles and I spend a lot of time together just being two huge dorks, we play a lot of video games together which is a whole lot of fun! He also lets me brush his tail whenever he feels it needs tending to, which is also something I find myself cuddling a lot because of how floofy it is! As much fun as that is, though, my favorite thing to do with Miles is be in the comfort of his warm, loving embrace, where I'm always reminded of how loved I am by him... I love him so much. 🧡🤍🧡
