[Oh my place where tennis balls are created!]
Hello! I am... well, you can just call me TB. Or anything, really, but Tennis Ball is me and I am him. I don't like to use my real name online, but if you want an actual name to call me, you can also call me Six. I'm 21 years old and my pronouns are they/them.
I joined the OSC in late 2019, a couple of months before BFB 15, and I've been trapped here ever since! Ahh! Let me out! [Just kidding.] I started with BFB because I kept seeing Four everywhere [see image], but I definitely remember seeing BFDI fanart online before then. It was just one of those things always in my periphery that I never fully got into.

I used to be very active on Twitter, especially from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2021— if you can recall a Six Stibnite or a [@ieafpin/@thatclumsytb/others that I can't remember], that would be me! I left the public sphere when I moved out to college as I just stopped vibing with the crowd, and as more and more younger people joined the Twitter OSC, that feeling was reinforced. No ill will, though— the OSC is by no means a gated community, especially not by age, but I do prefer to be around adults.
Admittedly, I'm not incredibly into object shows anymore, and I haven't interacted with the larger OSC outside of watching a couple new shows that my friends enjoy and doing my due diligence by voting in the Awardys every year. The number shorts mean everything to me [cough cough there is a reason why my Name name is Six]. Outside of BFDI/TPOT, I like ION [prooobably my favorite right now aside from TPOT], Battle for Rice, Take Two Sides, LOTS, and I've enjoyed the bits and pieces of Bean's Show and Animatic Battle that I've seen. There are certainly more shows that deserve to be on this list, but I can't recall any at the moment.
I am also a bit of a selfshipper!
I selfship with Leafy, and I ship Tennis Ball with Pen and Eraser in a weird pseudo-selfshippy way. I am also a bit of a kinner, but that information is being held under lock and key for now. I really like Yoyle City, and a couple of years ago a friend of mine [you are on these forums hello you know who you are] and I tried translating Yoylese into English. Didn't quite work, but it goes to show how much I love the worldbuilding of Goiky.I'm excited to be here— like I said, I haven't been active in any public OSC spaces for a long while now, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the groove of things! I'd like to be relatively active, but I can't make many promises, as I'm a very-busy-and-stressed-college student and will be entering my final year of undergrad soon. Either way, I'd love to pop in once in a while
I also have quite a few friends here already *waves*By the way, just a disclaimer— the way I type might randomly change. I don't normally type like this, but I figured "why not" for my first post. Sometimes I like to get a little silly. A little wild.
I think Georgia is a lovely font. Also, I really like em dashes— can you tell?
It's a lot more fun than most spaces to talk about object shows about I can tell you that.
