Call me Bridgette, I'm 25, she/they, and I'm a PhD student starting in the Fall. I'm a Pisces and INTJ, and I'm somewhere under the nonbinary and gender fluid flags. I'm asexual, so don't ask. But I'm single, romance-positive, and always very tired.

I've never been on a website like this, but a friend convinced me to join and I'm liking it so far. I guess eventually I'll get better at formatting posts, I've seen some really pretty formats.

I like minecraft (bedrock/switch) and art. I'm a writer, aspiring Mangaka, and an budding animatronicist. (Means I build little character robots in my bedroom lol). I'm also training to be a witch, and beginning my journay as a Mandalorian. I also do tabletop rpg, and am building a system with my best friend. I'm a self-proclaimed punk, storyteller, and vampire - I don't claim to be a "goth" because the subculture and the aesthetic are different things and one of them doesn't like the other. I'm alien to forum rp, and haven't done chat room rp for almost a decade, but I'm not opposed to trying something new. I just care about the story.

Favorite books are Ender's Game and Interview with the Vampire, followed by the Percy Jackson and Artemis Fowl series.

Tell me if there's anything else you wanna know, and feel free to talk to me about whatever.

hey welcome to voltra! ^^
i joined earlier this year and have found the community here to be very friendly and welcoming :-)
animatronics sounds super cool and interesting, what kind of characters do you make? are they related to your phd at all?

Welcome!!! =v=
What kind of witchcraft are you getting into ?? Personally, I'm mostly an herbalist with a good amount of (amateur) divination mixed in !!
Also, I think animatronics are like, the coolest thing ever!! I'm not well versed in the history of them, but I sure do appreciate their aesthetic :D

@xvz: My first animatronic character is an Owl named Sidra! But currently i work with a little Lego fella named Legsby and he "helps me" with my research. My PhD is focusing on creating a more natural human-machine interface through animatronic characters.

@0v7: Thank you! I'm very very new to magic, so I haven't chosen a "field" yet, but I'm vary interested in sigil craft and garden magic! I've loved animatronics for as long as I can remember, its a goal of mine to work with Disney Imagineering to build animatronics for the theme parks!

@godsandpunks: oo an owl?? how big is it? :0 owl size?
that sounds very cool, i'm trying to picture what they look like!
when i google animatronics i get five nights at freddys

are you more interested in the hardware side of it or like the psyc side? (i mean or both!)

btw triple+ posting outside of the undercurrent forum is discouraged here i think ~
(double posting is ok though i think)
also starting tmr you can click on the blimp thing on the homepage and it'll give u items/volts :-)

@xvz: ooof didn't realize, figured since i was my thread it wouldn't matter if i spammed and i wanted to pay everyone the respect of replying individually x'(

But yeah, ill try and post a picture of it tomorrow if i can find one! It was about 3ft tall, but that was mostly a sculpture out of craft foam. I focused more on the ability to make expressions, so it's head could rotate and it could "talk" and blink its eyes! I took a lot of inspiration from Jim Henson's design and puppeteering styles.

And thank you for the head's up! I kind'a love the avatar shop already haha <3

@godsandpunks: aw it should be ok ^^ you're new so it's totally understandable to not have known
honestly i'm not even sure where it is in the rules lol i just know someone mentioned it when i joined and it seems to be the general rule

oh 3 ft owl is much bigger than i would have thought lol
is the idea in the vein of like how we interact with pets/animals?
i love the sesame street puppets ^^

np! and yes i really like the commons here :3
i appreciate that most individual items are relatively affordable too!

@GodsandPunks: welcome welcome welcome. So happy to have new people joining us. Glad you like things so far. I think it is awesome you are a Ph.D. student. I was working on my counseling degree, but have considered switching to a Ph.D in human and social services. I want to make a change in the world, and I want to help others to create the change they want to see in the world. I think there is so much we can all do to increase the positive vibrations and social standing within this chaotic world of ours.

I was looking over your art and I am amazed. You are quite talented in the visual arts. I especially loved your moon princess. There was something raw and haunting about it that I could relate to. Anyways, so glad you could join us. If you have any questions or would like to chat, feel free to hit me up :)
