So the other day I was hanging out with a few of my friends and one of my friends said something really bitchy about the other in subtle manner and we all thought it was hilarious and burst into laughter and I announced real loud "OH THE SHADE" but I don't think any of them really understood what that meant and I felt kinda stupid. So this instance inspired me to create a thread inviting you to share your experiences of when your ATRL life and your real life have mixed, or do you keep them separate? Have you ever felt the desire to insert a gif into a real life conversation? Have you ever had somebody insult you in real life and wished they had an avatar on their face so that you could dragg their flop faves for filth? Share your experiences.

No. I am the real life version of ManDown.

i don't have an "ATRL persona" per se as the way i am on here is the way i am offline. however i definitely do not use any ATRL lingo or vocabulary anywhere other than ATRL and certainly not offline

I become the GIF


Btw, "OH THE SHADE" sounds corny as ****. If you're gonna do it then at least make it seem natural.

I always use ATRL lingo irl and no one probably understands me.

And when I'm taking to someone online (not on ATRL) I always want to use ATRL emoticons or whatever

I don't have an ATRL persona I don't talk like "DRAGt FOR FILTH" But I say "mess" "gurl" but all my friends do so it's not weird. And also me and my friends use GIFs so we all know what we're on about.

Some times i accidentally say stuff True tea but yea for the most part i do.

I'm like...a bit ATRL in real, but not 100%...40-60% I guess

Yah because no one understands my language

I dont have an online persona. What you see (well, what you read) is what you get. At All times

No I've always been fake. You have to if you see the people in my school

I'll be myself in college

In ATRL I am definitely a more dramatic version of myself.

When I'm on here for too long. I sometimes feel like using atrl emoticons IRL. Really sad

I also called someone local, when they were irritating me. And left them confused

I'm not as rude in real life as I'm on ATRL or Twitter. I don't really use stuff like "shade" or "seethe" and stuff in real life. I'm practically the same person in real life.

People pick on me way too much here...I'm actually really popular and well liked in real life. I may be a bit crazy on here, but it's not all my fault that a lot of ATRL members think I'm a dumb attention *****

I'm the same exact person online as I am off.

And I'm a young black gay so terms like"shade" and "drag" are regular parts of my vocabulary.
