Our avatars are posting on a forum thread is a forum Play-by-Post Game hosted on this very wiki's forums. In it, users roleplay as the characters depicted various avatars in their gallery. But rather than meeting in person, the characters themselves are all posting in that forum thread as users. Interactions range from the serious to the silly.

Tropes applying to the roleplay include:
- Apocalypse How: In Project Alice, the destruction of the Doll's interstellar civilization; the Queendom of Aria, is a galactic-scale societal collapse, having met its end through destructive in-fighting between Dolls for reasons unknown. According to Narnia, many Dolls have survived the disaster, but they have been mostly rendered dormant with much of their infrastructure devastated, if not completely destroyed. Alice's very journey across Florentia is to seek the answers behind her civilization's collapse.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Based on the interactions with Icarus and Phosphophyllite, the Gems are considered this, with questions concerning how normally rigid gemstones can move as humans.
- End of an Age: According to Naomi and Bridget, TV Tropes in their universe was discontinued in 2123 on Earth as a result of the mysterious "Third Google Incident", which ended up getting the admins who were running it at the time arrested. Morgan, being a war vet, speculated that the Earth of Project Alice devolved into a dictatorship.
- Fictional Earth: Florentia from Project Alice is an Earth-like planet with a ring system that serves as the main setting and home for Alice, Naomi, Bridget, and Narnia. It's one of the terraformed planets from the Doll's mysterious Garden Project and was colonized by former space-fairing humans thousands of years ahead of present day. So far, two countries on Florentia have been mentioned: Sakurajima (based on Japan) and Albion (based on England).
- Hijacked by Ganon: Subverted at one point. When Albedo talks about the Tsarista/Cryo Archon (a mysterious goddess whom the Fatui worship) from Genshin Impact, Tarvek initially says that she sounds an awful lot like the Other from Girl Genius. Much, much later, this point is picked up again as Gil investigates Fatui tech and concludes that she's probably not the Other.
- Living Legend: By the time that Aether the Traveler had joined the thread, other forum users had already heard a lot about him from what other people from Teyvat mentioned.
- Mad Scientist:
- A straight example would be Hephaistos, the person who created Athena, V2, and V3 to be Living Weapons. For the most part, his creations fear and loathe him.
- Gil and Tarvek are more moderate cases, being Sparks with Science-Related Memetic Disorder but not dangerous to other forum-goers.
- Downplayed with Rui Kamishiro. He is an engineer and stage tech for Wonderlands x Showtime, and eccentric, to say the least.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Since the characters are the profile pictures of TV Tropes users, and said profile pictures typically come from other media, listing every work ever included in the crossover would be an exercise in futility.
- Mood Whiplash: Due to the multitude of events that can happen, the tone of topics sometimes switches in this particular way.
- The Multiverse:
- As to be expected from a roleplay which crosses over an absolute ton of settings, there's a somewhat-defined notion of a multiverse. That's how the different settings from which characters hail from can interact with each other online.
- There's actually a pretty robust system spelled out by Icarus (StepexNo2) in which different universes can interact with each other; universes higher on the "compatability scale" are able to sustain everything from the lower 'verses, but not everything from a higher 'verse can fit into a lower one. In practical terms, someone from Real Life (with it's strict natural principles) could go to a fictional setting with loosely-defined physics, but someone from said fictional setting will have trouble existing in real life if their existance isn't possible under IRL physics.
- Noodle Incident: Gil and Tarvek appear to have had an ... unsafe Christmas party:Tarvek: Phew! That was a fun Christmas party, eh?
Gil: Twelve people were arrested yesterday, Sturmvoraus.
Tarvek: My cousin Jessie is quirky like that. - Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: During Stefan's birthday party, a giant alien worm god interrupts a foot race to see what's happening. The worm god in question isn't even malevolent, and later on, it even asks EV to help terraform the moon that it currently resides on.
- Precursors: The Dolls from Project Alice have existed in the Milky Way Galaxy for 10 billion years (out of the universe's total age of 13.5 billion), and they have terraformed and seeded over 1,000 planets in the galaxy with life from their Garden Project. One of the planets include Florentia.
- Real Life Writes the Plot: Sometimes, users who will be offline for a while will leave a post giving an In-Universe reason for their characters' absence. For example, M-95 had Gil and Tarvek shut down their computers for a military operation when IRL he was going on a trip with family.
- Toon: Most prominently the Tamagotchis and Buttercup who are all a little looney and often provide zany lines while making shout outs from western made/inspired media.
