Taranja

I design and edit VRC avatars. Often on VRChat.

Hello Charas, Taranja here!

I design stuff for myself and for a few VTubers, mainly for VRChat. Not to mention I go VRChat as well to chill out.

Pleasure to meet you all.
Here's my new outfit in case you want to make art of me.

@jenny_vtu21 I want to build deep, genuine friendships with people instead of having everything being transactional. I want to see them as more than just collaborators, and not everything we do has to be on stream.

I struggle a lot with making those bonds due to shyness but I'm trying hard.

Spending yet another day in solitude.

Sometimes I feel fine being isolated... and other times, I start to feel a sense of loneliness that no amount of masking will conceal for me.

Who knows if i may start to ruminate again...

If you are a VRChat user who loves Booth avatars and assets, and you wanna try out VRCFinder for itself, click below:

Boothplorer was a pretty good site to search for Booth stuff for the avatars I liked the past 2 years.

But nowadays, VRCFinder is where it's at. Their filter tags are so convenient that I'd rather go there to search for VRChat assets, especially for avatar outfits and hair.

I've been caught up on all my VGen work now and I'm just taking a break, roaming #VRChat lately...

I wonder if I can meet and hang out with some more friends throughout the summer?

[Taranja @Taranja_]

I didn't expect VAllure to shut down.

I worked with one of the ladies there and she was amazing; I haven't met the others yet but I'm sure they're just as amazing as she was.

I appreciate their hard work, and I wish everyone the best going forward as indies.

Announcement regarding closure of VAllure.

Taranja's back in VR again...

It has been a long time since I used my headset. But at least it's easier to pose now.

Sadly it is the truth for me.

I am afraid to ask for help; I've been conditioned that way since childhood; it makes me so frustrated I can't do it myself. I honestly feel guilty for doing so that I have to bother someone for that; I don't want to feel like a burden to people.

Person: “You’ve always been so independent.”

Autistic person: “No. I just learned not to ask for help.”

Person: “Why?”

Autistic person: “Because needing support was treated like a character flaw.”

[Taranja @Taranja_]

@RoyalRylaa No, it's not weird at all. I want to get to know the other person a bit first and see if we vibe with each other before we officially collab.

I don't like doing collab streams on the first interaction with people. I have my boundaries and reasons.

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

I almost never get bored when I’m by myself. I can spend hours reading, working on a project, listening to music, or just being in my own head. But put me in a room full of people, and somehow that’s when boredom shows up

Just chilling in front of an aurora...

Yikes. Fucking yikes.

The more I hear about Camana, the more I disdain him and Luminara as a whole. I feel sorry for everyone who got screwed over by him, one way or another.

[Mujin @Muj_in]

Bro was banned from a convention and still showed up, so the police had to escort his ass out

How do things get this bad man 💀

[Taranja @Taranja_]

Luminara went down a similar path as VShojo. I fucking called it.

I was right to criticize Camana about how Luminara will make a profit with that "talent-first" approach. I did not expect him to use Zen's name as well as others to fuel his shady practices.

Shame on you, Camana.

[Taranja @Taranja_]

I hope the demise of VShojo will be a lesson to all looking to start and run a VTuber agency.

I fear Luminara and similar agencies with the same "talent first" premise might go down a similar path. I hope they can prove me wrong, but let's see if they can do better than VShojo.

[Taranja @Taranja_]

Tbh I've had very bad feelings about Luminara. I'd suspected that history might repeat itself with Luminara like it did for VShojo and the others with all those red flags.

I hate to say it, but my suspicions were proven correct. Luminara is imploding and people are leaving.

[Elara | 🎸🤘 @ElaraVtuber]

This morning, 3 Luminara talents have announced that they are parting ways with the company. On top of this, an investor also broke ties and owner Camana announced he is transfering ownership?!

What is going on? 😅

[Taranja @Taranja_]

@YanyYaneko I keep hearing about him from many people. I even saw a whole doc about him and his many accounts; he never quits, does he?

At least I am aware so I know what to expect if he ever goes after me or people I know...

[Taranja @Taranja_]

I managed to convert a VRM model to VRChat and I found out that the conversion wasn't that bad; it was just converting physics, updating shaders, and then trying to make expressions and menus work in VRC.

I might think about offering VRM to VRC conversions on VGen in the future.

ShiroNekoNya_EN just bought me a plantain on Ko-fi! https://t.co/EVtk4Bc3xd

[Taranja @Taranja_]

I might bring the male version of my main avatar back at some point, but change him up a bit more. At least give him a hairstyle that I am more comfortable with, and a better outfit. At least that will help me get used to him more.

[Taranja @Taranja_]

Gonna say that again since Discord is down just now...

Taranja is still here. Taranja loves you all.

[Taranja @Taranja_]

Discord may be down... but Taranja is still here.
We'll reach each other, no matter what happens.
Taranja cherishes you all.

@NemuBearu Oh, I see... I'm getting a bit curious... 👀
