Howdy everyone! Long overdue update for this group that I wanted to post.


When this group was new, I was appointed to co-founder status by the groups creator. At some point they became significantly less active, and gave me full control for the group. I've mainly handled the approval or dismissal of images for the groups gallery. Largely, I've stuck to approving images if they're sfw, but somehow some pictures evaded my dismissal.


I have been incredibly less active on DA for around two years now, and most of my friends have migrated to another website altogether. I'm not remotely fond of the upcoming DA Eclipse update in the slightest, so I'll be following suit very soon. Eclipse is massively unappealing to look out, and a pointless overhaul. But the worst part is that it's massively unusable for mobile exclusive users like myself.


Back in the autumn, I submitted a closure request for this group because I no longer have the energy to be active on this site like I once was. The group still exists, so clearly the request didn't go through. As a result, this group has two fates left in store for it.


1) resign from my position, as the last user running this group, leaving it completely unmanaged and officially dead.


or...


2) Someone volunteers to become the new founder in my absence. If that DA user is an active account, I'll grant them full control of this group prior to resigning. The pre-requisite is that you must be an active account that's regularly on. And if you make this group far more popular than it ever was during the era I've ran it, then thank you.


Whatever my decision, it'll be made by May 20th, and shall be announced via journal. Thank you to whomever reads this.

Wowie, over a year has went by and I've done nothing of worth, eh? Granted, I've never really cared about gathering watchers, so I'm always blown away I've gathered as many as I have here on DA. I really do appreciate y'all, so I figured I may as well as write this thing. Below will go over a basic summary of my recent life, this accounts future status, and my plans.

First and foremost, I've not written a thing in eons at this point. When writing, I'm well aware of the fact I'm not the best at it, but I completely accept that. My issue is that actually sitting down and typing a full fledged story gives me anxiety, similar to when you're too anxious to study for test. As a result, I do plan to get back inti the swing of things in the upcoming year.

Secondly, I graduated! I even managed to maintain my position on the honour roll for all four years, yet again achieving "with distinction" status! I achieved a few bursaries, and then got accepted into the university I've been aiming for all these years! 

I'm doing alright overall, but still adjusting to a few things. Given that my mother was injured in a snow mobile accident last December, she was unable to work or finish her studies, thus we had a few financial issues. Thankfully she's recovered pretty well, and will be a full fledged nurse very soon. 

Granted, when we finally moved back down south to our old home city, we naturally couldn't get our own house. This was temporarily rectified when we stayed with a family friend and her daughter, but eventually we all had a big drama, and we had to move out in two weeks. However, although my mother's relationship with them is tarnished, another close friend is able to let us stay with her.

With irl things out of the way, I'd like to apologize for my lack of acitivity, to the few that ultimately read these things. When I made this account in July of 2015, I had so many plans in regards to posts. But given some regretful circumstances, and my persistent depression, numerous projects were canceled. Overall, there's a chance I'll occasionally upload artwork from friends here, but I'll be focusing my posts on another site called Furaffinity.

Artwork I receive, or stories I write will be uploaded there in mass over the next month or so. I do want to take my time to write decent descriptions and tags, after all. However, as a warning, there will be SFW and NSFW content on that account.

Probably a silly notion, but for years I possessed an anti-sexual personality that I was very determined to maintain. I repressed my more "shameful" interests, but that made them multiply over time. Eventually, I realized that I'm allowed to enjoy whatever I like, as long as I don't force it upon others. Essentially, the first rule of common human decency.

I was going to create secondary accounts to separate my content based upon their general themes, but that's too much of a hassle for me to maintain for the rest of my foreseeable life. The FA content filter is wonderful, so that helps me to. 

This does mean I won't be uploading any written content here anymore, any posts being a reupload of received artwork, and I'll  primarily use this account to contact particular artists I enjoy. An old friend of mine also introduced me to discord over a year ago, so I do prefer that as a socializing method. I'll continue to login as usual, but I think that summarizes everything.

Beats my pool of raffle advertisements, that's for sure -w-

I figured that since I forget more or less the majority of a given day rather quickly (having once forgotten an entire birthday the following morning ^^'), I'd mention a two instances of the past year I found funny!

Some of you hopefully remember that I was one of the three students from my school chosen to attend Verna J. Kirkness down south. In the end, I couldn't go for personal reasons. But when my two classmates returned the week after, they told me how they both expected me to dash right through the airport last minute. XD Sort of like in a drama where one dude is screaming; "Stop the wedding!"

Oh, two days ago I forgot it was Halloween. Sure, I subconsciously knew since I was very eager to post my art trade with AgentXY14 that evening, but overall I wasn't processing my surroundings. So when I arrive at my school, and noticed someone walking down the hall in an inflatable Dino costume, it didn't click in my head. Even when my math teacher has an Afro wig, and a few people walk past me, I hardly pay them mind. And I only recalled the date when I saw a panda costume! XD

So, for those who don't know, i have had this account for two years now! Yesterday was the anniversary for it actually, but I forgot to announce it xP

As corny as it sounds, I came to DA in hopes of becoming well liked, and posting stuff people could enjoy. Though, there have been plenty of issues with me creating content, I'll gladly admit how I love my friends here dearly.

They don't believe it, but I think of them as the single closest friend in my entire life. They've helped me despite all the times I've acted so needy, they're smart, funny in an adult sense, and I think a talented artist. But of course I'd praise the friend whom made me consider my own opinion in matters, and has eased my depression so very much (it's still there, but way more manageable).

Is a ball of cuteness, and has devoted herself to trying to ensure that I'm happy. And I won't lie, I wasn't always there for her, but I still try to make up for that.

One of my first watchers whom I unexpectedly befriended. When stuff goes wrong, I usually go to him and cry his ears off and rely on his support x)

Then there's others as well, such as , , , , , with the list going on, that I don't talk to as much these days for any number of reasons. But I still thank them for putting up with me and being kind when needed.

Sappiness aside, I'm also going to advertise . I met him by chance in May, and he's a wonderful writer in my opinion, also posting these funny comics. He and I are currently working together to produce content, and so potentially when that's all done, I'll begin to have a regular upload basis.

Heck, I only posted my rubbish drawings because my writing is taking so long. Had an unfortunate writers block for a few months.

Also, my birthday is ten days ^^ Last year I was spoiled with six precious drawings, and a few hundred points. Thank you guys for thinking I'm worth so much~
