one more newbie in town

[grovyle]

Hey everyone! I'm new here!

The best memories I have on the internet are on forums, so when I found out this one existed, I had to sign up immediately  I'm trying to go on the internet revealing as little info about myself as I can to get back the sense of safety that has been lost on me since social media started to be a widespread thing, so not sure what I want to say here hehe

I love pokémon, mo dao zu shi, anime in general, nintendo, animals/nature (I grew up watching animal planet 24/7 lol) and I'm getting back into reading regularly after the pandemic destroyed my attention span, which has been very exciting!!

English isn't my first language and even if I'm basically bilingual at this point, I might still find myself misinterpreting something, so let's be patient with one another  I'm 20-something years old, and I've been misgendered since day one on forums even if I clearly stated my gender so I won't do it anymore, curious to see what pronouns people use for me on here 

I'm hoping to make new friends in here, since leaving most social media platforms I've lost touch with most of my internet friends 

See y'all around!! Can't wait to start posting

Welcome to the forums! I love the communities I'm part of on Discord but there is something special about the flow of conversation on a good forum, isn't there? Much more relaxed pace than anything that's come since.

What have you been reading? :)

There sure is! I've tried so hard to get into discord but I just haven't been able to. I'm a forum worm at heart and it's too diferent from this for me :(

I'm reading two books currently, one's named Women's Barracks by Tereska Torrès, it's translated from french and it tells the story of a group of women that join the army during WW2. It's from 1960 and I don't do well with classics usually but this one I'm liking! A few of the characters are queer so that's a plus for me  The other one hasn't been published yet, it's called These days are numbered and it's a pandemic memoir from a woman that lives in the most populated neighborhood in Toronto. A nice change of pace from Women's Barracks since it's more fast paced hehe

Thank you for the welcome!

Hi welcome to the forum!! 

Generation 3 pokemon are the best pokemon IMO! (Ok that's bias because I enjoyed those games the most)!

I think Im pre-animal planet, but I remember my grandparents had national geographic (before it got crappy) and I used to love watching animal and nature documentaries all day - its actually SO hard to find good nature documentaries now! Whats your favourite type of biome?

I am going to assume that your gender is grovyle.

Hope you enjoy the forum!!

Thank you so much!!

My first pokémon game was Ruby so I might be a tiny bit biased as well lol. Have you played the 3DS remakes? I literally SOBBED when I booted Omega Ruby and the intro started. Us Hoenn babies have been truly blessed by the remake lottery

I haven't been able to find a good nature documentary in a while, now that you mention it. Maybe we're just less surprisable? I remember going bananas for videos of giraffes fighting back then, and now nothing brings out that response in me haha. I love tropical jungles! My dream trip is to the Iguazú falls in Argentina, not much because of the waterfalls per se, but because they're on the edge of the Amazon rainforest so there's lots of opportunities to see random creatures, along with some national parks and reserves/sanctuaries. Zoboomafoo taught me what a coati is and I REFUSE to look back since!!

I hereby decree my gender to be grovyle. Long live leafy lizard guy
