I’ve played a few avi/pet sites throughout the years, but I haven’t stuck with one in a while. I’m not the most social but I hope I can force myself to socialize more because I don’t really have any online friends anymore, unfortunately.

A little about me: I’m in my 30s, I love animals (especially cats), anime, reading books and manga, music (mostly rock or older Jpop and K-pop). I collect plushies and other cute things, I’m neurodivergant, I love art (I’m not very good at making my own though). I also like video games but the only ones I’ve been playing lately are Stardew Valley (trying to get a perfect save) and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Hope to see y’all around!

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧Hi there, welcome! c: I'm sort of in the same boat as you. Back in '07 and '08 when I was Gaia all the time I used to have a lot of online friends, but that number has significantly dwindled.

Welcome to Voltra. I hope you enjoy it here.

@totalanimefan: Oh, maybe I'll buy it on Steam then instead. Though I'll wait for it to eventually go on sale, since I have enough games I bought and haven't played/finished for now, haha.
I used to be big into Hello! Project groups like Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, Aya Matsuura etc. as well as Namie Amuro, Judy and Mary, Puffy, hide, Tommy february6/heavenly6, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Tokyo Girls' Style, Babymetal. And a lot of 80's stuff. Too many to list them all.

@stinky: Thanks! I play it off and on. I keep finding new mods to keep it interesting (and sometimes more challenging lol)

@aisukohi: Thanks! I have 2 cats as well. My favorite bands are Ghost, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots and The Birthday Massacre. My favorite anime series are One Piece, Gintama, Fruits Basket 2019, Death Note, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and I really like Spy x Family so far. I also love magical girl series as a whole, though I've not seen all of them lol.

@kittybeary @ariella74 @anarchist beauty Thanks for the welcome!

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧@starry: Yeah, same here. :( I keep saying that these avi websites will make a comeback, hopefully it isn't just false hope.

@stinky: Oh yeah, there’s also the fact I let my Nintendo Online sub run out so I can’t play anything online anyway. x_x Hate that it’s extra cause I don’t play online enough to justify the cost. That sounds like a cool design. Maybe I’ll just look up other people’s islands, haha.

The pet sites I’ve played are Neopets, Goatlings, Dappervolk, Furvilla, Subeta, Aywas, Tattered Weave, Novilar, Flight Rising (this one’s too confusing for me though so I didn’t do much lol) and some older ones that no longer exist like Acitius, BooPets, Creature World. And I guess Chicken Smoothie if that counts.

@Totalanimefan: My favorite Namie songs are probably Hide & Seek, Can't Sleep Can't Eat I'm Sick, Put 'Em Up, Funky Town and Want Me Want Me. I like her dancable songs the most but she has nice ballads too.

@Stinky: I guess most people are more interested in mobile apps and games than petsites these days. But I do feel nostalgic for the times I had playing them when I was younger.

@aisukohi: Yeah, I don't want to have to get another litter box and clean up more poop/barf lol. But sometimes I wish I had more cats.
I've seen Foo Fighters 9 times and they definitely put on a great show. I always felt sore the next day from all the jumping around lol. I saw Soundgarden back in 2011 and had tickets to see them again for a show just a few days after Chris Cornell's death. :( Had tickets to see Linkin Park that year too, but that obviously didn't happen either. I'm bad about keeping up with recent rock but I do know/like some songs by Motionless in White and Palaye Royale.
Anya's facial expressions are my favorite part of Spy x Family, haha. I've watched all of MHA but I was kinda getting bored of it the most recent season tbh. But I like some of the characters so I'll probably keep watching lol. I love Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen too. The last movie I saw in theaters was Mugen Train, and I wish I could've seen Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in the theater but oh well. I read the manga and I'll watch it whenever it comes to Crunchyroll or wherever.
I was into Naruto when I was in HS but I dropped it around ep 200 cause even as a teen I got annoyed at all the filler. XD I still haven't watched Gurren Lagaan or Inu Yasha. I finally got around to watching FMA Brotherhood last year, though I used to read the manga and saw the original anime. Definitely awesome, and nice to see the ending cause I don't think I have the final volumes of the manga.

@pashminapanda: Yeah, sometimes I hear/see teens talking to eachother and I feel like a confused old person lol.
