Damn. Would've definitely gone down that road if such happened on my end, and I'm sure many could say the same. It's bittersweet, Kiwi, but at least you still hold fond memories, yeah? And hopefully you're making new ones with the folks you have now. The same goes for the ones you'll find later on, even if you're holding back a little. ^^' Best wishes either way, man.

But with that, yeah, making friends through rp's definitely the best if it happens naturally. Adds more flavor and extra fun screeching about what's going on within rp, or simply even vibing, gaming, and watching trash with them outside of it. Most of my close goobers were guys I've met on Discord, though, or... Hell, doing silly little shenanigans within custom games on Overwatch (Hush, don't judge me)! Sisters and brothers from other mothers for sure~.
