I've spent a few years trying to find new people to talk to, but I get pretty nervous and I've only really managed to find a couple of smaller ARPG discord servers that I've felt comfortable just starting up conversations in. Recently I've been pushing myself to do small interactions, commenting on posts and actively searching for mutuals. I struggle a bit with small talk, I never know how to keep it going, so it is far easier for me to just jump into a server or dm and act like we've spoken before.
Also, if you're one of my mutuals here already, hi! I'll try my best to interact with you often, but you're always welcome to dm me on discord.

First, a bit about me! :

• 18 years old
• Non-binary (they/them)
• Autistic
• Digital artist, OC creator mostly drawing my fursonas though.
• Furry. I don't have a fursuit but I'd like to make one someday; I'm currently learning to make paws.
• I love music, including vocaloid/utau/synthv etc. I also play a few rhythm games.

Please interact if...

• you're 16+
• you're an artist of any kind, whether it's traditional, digital, photography or something else!
• you create original characters.
• you like birds or just nature in general. I occasionally go birdwatching and birds are a special interest of mine, I'd like to find more people who also share this interest. I enjoy taking photos of natural scenery and animals, although I wouldn't say I'm much of a photographer... cameras are expensive aghh.
• you're a furry or just like anthropomorphic animals and/or fursuits.
• you like pokemon, whether its the games, anime, cards or even if you're into the competitive side. while I am not a VGC player, I am interested in it. pokemon has been a special interest of mine for many years.
• you like anime/manga ( my favourites + watchlist )
• you like vocaloids/utauloids/synthv music and/or their games. I sometimes play Project Diva/Sekai when I feel like it (I've been playing osu! a lot more lol), but I listen to a lot of vocaloid music. here's my playlist!

whether only one or none of these apply to you, or maybe a lot of these do, I'm always up to chat! if I think of anything else to add here, I will, it's just hard to think of things to list.
please comment here first if you plan on dming me, it just gives me a bit of a heads up. we can talk in the comments too if you'd prefer!
(credit to lambda for starting this. I think PI lists are a lot more positive than DNIs, and honestly I think it's a great way to find new mutuals or friends)
