Yeah. Their quizzes are fun, but perhaps not entirely accurate.

Hey guys! My name is Tesla! I was introduced to the PPC by my friend and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. I've read the Constitution and most of the wiki, but I'm still working through the original stories (I've got about three under my belt currently). I belong to many different fandoms, the list is endless. My main ones are: Steven Universe, Undertale, Gravity Falls, Warriors, MLP, Miraculous Ladybug, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who. I love to write, animate, draw, sing, role-play, act, you name it I probably like to do it. I speak mainly English, but I'm learning Japanese and I know a tiny bit of French (working on learning more of that too). I love to write fanfictions, and I have lots of original stories in the works too! I'm really looking forward to being here, and I'll likely be on at least once a week. :)

Yet again I am far too late for my traditional salutations to be of much use, but I hope you enjoy your stay with us nonetheless.
For your newbie gifts I present a Replica Holocron and a silver reproduction of your Patronus. If you don't know what your Patronus is you can just saunter over to the link in the Pottermore quiz thread and your figuine will magiccally take shape.
Ain't sorcery grand?
Speaking of Harry Potter, might I enquire which Common Room you call home? -
My Patronus and House by

Thanks for the greetings! :)
The quiz said my Patronus is a Wild Boar, but according to my friends they think I'm a Corgi (we had a whole three hour discussion about which animals we are). I wish they would give some sort of explanation as to exactly WHY you get the Patronus you do.
As for House, I'm with the Gryffindors, not because it's the main character's house, but because I feel like it fits my personality the best. -
I don't put much stock in Pottermore's quizzes. by

If your friends say your Patronus is a corgi, that's probably a better guess than the quiz will give you. I know for a fact that mine would not be a Scops Owl, whatever the quiz thinks.
Gryffindor, aye? Nice. I'm a Hufflepuff myself, though Pottermore seems convinced I'm a Slytherin (hence my distrust of its quizzes). -

Have a rusted bit of metal. I have no idea what it used to be, but it's twisty and orangey and looks super cool.
Are there any obligatory questions left for me to ask... What gender pronouns should we use to refer to you (He seems pretty cool for a newbie, She seems pretty cool for a newbie, etc., etc.)? I'm particularly curious because I mentioned the PPC to a couple of my friends lately, and I want to figure out if you're one of them. (Although I don't think any of them are learning Japanese...)

Thank you for the welcome! :)
As for pronouns, she/her pronouns are fine. I heard about PPC from my friend Matt Cipher. -

I've talked to him a lot (well, more than I've talked to most people), and we get along pretty well. I did some beta-reading for him, too. Have you read his stuff with Hip and Hop? I'm pretty fond of those two. ^.^

I feel you on the "too many fandoms" thing. Here's some movie-theater popcorn to eat while you read the Original Series and whatever spinoffs strike your fancy.
And OMG you're learning Japanese?! Me too! How far have you gotten? Are you taking classes or teaching yourself? I've been taking classes on it since my freshman year of college. It can be a pain to learn sometimes, what with all the kanji and the weird grammar points and honorific language, but I absolutely, 100% do not regret my decision. :D 日本語は一番！ -

I've been using a program called Rosetta Stone. It's a bit frustrating at times, and I can hardly read any sort of kanji or hiragana, but I know how to hold basic conversation! :D

*thrusts a butterscotch-cinnamon pie in your direction* Welcome to the PPC! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here. Is there any chance of me seeing some of your fics? Our fandoms seem to coincide quite a lot and now I'm curious.

At some point! I mostly have Doctor Who Fan-Fiction right now but I'm working on developing an Undertale AU! I have a Wattpad account but I need to delete my stuff and start over again, my most recent post was probably close to a year ago lol!

Here's a towel. Keep it with you, it's important.
Not in a "Hitchhiker's Guide" way, but it'll help keep your shininess existing for a while, at least.
Didn't know Gravity Falls really had a fandom, but I'm glad; great game. I liked Warriors, too, until I fell behind a few (dozen) books. -
