i wouldn't mind talking to irl friends every day ^^ like if they were to all be on voltra Lol
but i probably wouldn't over like text just bc of the format/expectations of it

outside of school/work there aren't that many contexts where you would interact with someone on a daily basis :0

I would love my friends to be on here, but this isn’t any of their jam. This isn’t something they would do.

When we were younger, my sister and I both belonged to the same roleplay forum, and she became super popular instantly because she’s such a ”people person”. I have not invited her to join any of my things since.. >.>

hahahahha
it's sweet that your sister enjoys forums too ^^ what kind of rp did yall do?

i have a few nerdier friends irl but i'm p sure none of my irl friends would ever join voltra on their own
i have 1 acquaintance/friend who said they used to gaia back in the day but that's it, i'm p sure i'm the only person i know irl who spends time on these kinds of sites

It was a Harry Potter role play forum, your character was a hogwarts student. XD

I have one friend who used to be on Gaia but I don’t think he was ever that big into the talking aspect. I think he was a pretty casual user, and only joined because he knew people on there.

I enjoy that I can be totally honest on here and not have to worry about people I know seeing it. Like if I’m mad at a roommate one day I can vent safely. XD

hahaha nice , i'm p sure harry potter inspired a ton of young authors / rpers / fanfiction writers lol
i'm glad i got to experience growing up w hp in its prime cultural influence and being in the age range for it

haha yeah definitely!
i think growing up when i was on forums i never talked abt it or shared with my friends :0
but this time i feel comfortable mentioning it to some of my closer and/or nerdier friends that i've been spending lots of time on here hehe

i do think not having any links to irl lets you talk more honestly about stuff or explore things you might not otherwise :0
like i think the whole rp / character making/toyhouse stuff i might feel awkward talking about irl, esp since i don't have any friends who are into it
but it's so normalized and like ... even cool to be able to share about this stuff in online communities :3

I know what you mean!
Harry Potter no doubt has had a huge impact on my life.

Yes! No matter what you’re into, there are other people online who share the same interests and can encourage you! It’s so nice to know there is always support somewhere.

All the smaller avatar sites seem to be overwhelmingly positive towards everyone! It’s such a wonderful place to spend my time.

yeah i'm glad it got so many young people reading too! those were some thick books lol i can't believe we just gobbled em up like they were nothing lol

aww yeah it is sweet ^^
i quit social media earlier this year and i think unconsciously voltra has filled or replaced that role for me
it definitely feels way better to interact w people online this way over the ig/twitter feeds i used to look at every day

I’ve never really liked social media. I used to be on Facebook, but I only played games. XD

I’m on Instagram now because I like seeing art and cute animals. :3

aww ^^ yeah i wish i had my social media set up for just art animals and maybe memes lol
i think my feeds were generally pretty political and it just got so depressing to check it every day

i keep meaning to set up accounts just for art but i feel like it takes effort to follow a bunch of good art accounts lol like trying to find them and dig into the niche space you most enjoy
it would be good for inspiration tho!

omg imagine if all our irl friends were secretly on here or secret nerds or something
cause i'm the kind of person who no one ever really acknowledges my nerdy,
like "well what would you know about [topic]?"
and noooone of my irl friends know i belong to any avatar forum sites

I wish my friends were the kind of people who would talk on here. But they aren’t.

I probably don’t look as nerdy as I am. Except at school because my pencil case is a stuffed animal I converted.

So, one of my favorite brands is Sentimental Circus, and I have a stuffed animal of the elephant Mouton.
And I opened the seam on his belly and attached a fabric bag and zipper. So I can unzip his tummy and put stuff in.
And I use it as a pencil case in college, even though it's big and hard to carry. Because I'm a big nerd and proud of it! XD

All the stuffing is still there, so he doesn't hold very much.
