Considering the holiday this is pretty fitting to write now, but it's actually something I've wanted to put out there for a while x,P
I wanted to personally say thank you to everyone that's here.
From my closest friends, to many acquaintances, to any watchers, and lurkers, and idols or inspirations, and every other person in between,
I want to say thank you to every solitary one of you for what you've done for me in my life.
I want to thank my best friends for being there to talk to in any crazy times that have come our way good or bad, as well as thank you for always being open in sharing things back with me, and being the awesome people you are
I want to thank all my watchers, new and old, and really just ANY one that's ran across my artwork before and had gotten a smile or a laugh out of what I do. In the past year or so a handful of you have actually messaged me saying I'm an inspiration to you in some way, and I'm still flabbergasted anytime that it's happened. I'm always used to looking up at others for inspiration, I never truly thought I'd get to the point where people would find inspiration from me. ;A; Thank you all SO much.
I want to thank the amazing groups I've found on here and joined. Whether it's groups like or where I frequently post my work to share, or RP groups like and where I've had the privilege of meeting AMAZING new people and have gotten to share some awesome stories with. I especially want to thank every last mod of any of these groups that keep things running in there. You all have done awesome jobs and you deserve even more thanks than I could ever give myself.
I also want to thank deviantArt itself. It's definitely not without it's kinks, but honestly what site isn't these days?
If it weren't for this place, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet some of the closest people in my life right now, or have been able to find the incredible artists that are on here that I've looked up to since joining this site on my original account back in 2008
Just thank you for all the support and inspiration all of you have given me over the years, and for being crazy enough to still give it x,D I'm so glad that people enjoy the work I do, and I hope I can continue putting out stuff for you all~
And SPEAKING of you all, I really want to give I personal shoutout to the folks I personally follow. Regardless of it being a new or old thing, whether it's me following them or them following me, or whether they're even a new or an old member. I wouldn't be able to share my art with as many people as I do now if it weren't for folks like these, and I absOLUTELY wish all of them the best in whatever they're currently doing.
Thank you so much you guys ;w;
And whatever holiday you're celebrating right now/going to celebrate soon, I hope it's a blast for ya

My general account vibes
Figured I should leave an update thing since some of the dust over dA's recent changes have settled a bit. Needless to say I'm not really happy about them like most folks, but I'm also not going to out n out delete this account. Apart from watermarking and heavily resizing/reducing the quality of the images that I post versus what I keep private, there's always been a risk with my posted art of it being scraped if not by AI then for art thieves and merch, so that feeling's not changed too too much. I also use my account as just a secondary backup to some of my oldest sketches I've lost on my own computer time to time haha. I'm glad that there's even an attempt to implement protections, but it was done in a stupidly muddled way, and this artist's thoughts sum up my own vibe pretty well about the situation: https://www.deviantart.com/chrissabug/status-update/I-wanted-to-gather-my-937031201 Basically AI art as a concept I don't inherently take issue with, even at a base level as an

loNG TIME NEVER JOURNAL POSTED EY
I think the last time I hecking posted one of these was almost two years ago now good gra v y so how bout eclipse huh flJKSHDGJKh It's only about a few weeks ago I forced m'self to finally get used to the switch before they made things permanent, since I've casually lingered around on this site for too long to ever use something different for archiving m' work~ Other than some of my profile decor and a convenient twitter mini-feed I could have here on my profile, I've really not minded it too much? The biggest gripe that I personally had I just realized today had gotten fixed to simply drag & drop pieces in my gallery to re-arrange them in edit mode which was a relief to see, as well as fixing the resolutions when zooming full view into a piece of artwork. Hopefully someday they bring pagination back for the sake of reaching older art pieces more easily, and bring back in more quality of life features that the old site had, but I have a hunch the redesign was finally pushed out
