I don't know if anybody reads these, but just a heads up that I don't use this deviantart account anymore. You can find me currently over at here on DA or as kioart over on Tumblr.

I miss crossposting on DA, but I don't rlly want to start up with this account again, because it has a lot of stuff I'm sorta bluh feels about now, but I don't want to purge the account b/c I'm a sentimental baby who doesn't want to lose the only archive of my early art that I have.

So I'm making a new DA account where I"m going to be posting my recent Tumblr art starting from July and going forward. 

I wanted to share for those of you who still want to watch me here on DA and see my art. Thanks for hanging around, friends! I know DA can be a little easier to follow for art, so ye, here you go.

It was nice having you!

I dunno if I'm going to keep submitting art here. I'm just sort of meh about Deviantart at this point. It used to be a much bigger thing for me, a community I was much more involved in, but now, I'm more invested and involved over at Tumblr, so...  

If anybody is still interested enough in my art to follow on Tumblr, here's the link if you want it. kioart.tumblr.com/

I dunno if I'll stop submitting here completely, but it's just not really big deal to me if I post it here now. I appreciate those who have stuck with me though. That's nice of you, and I'm glad for the few people who seem to have still enjoyed my art on here. You have been appreciated.

Didn't drink, cause I don't have any interest, but it was really awesome and probs the best birthday ever, considering my family planned 4 weeks in advance for my gf to fly down on my birthday, even though I'm flying to em on Wednesday. She's gotta go back on Sunday cause work, but I'll be seeing em Wednesday and then staying for two weeks so it's all good. yeeeeeee

Sometimes I think about how bizarre it is/was, going from this well-known popular person on DA to a relative nobody on Tumblr (And DA). First my Flipped Inuyasha fic and art was pretty popular, then my GBNaru Series even more so. I did the Naruto thing for like.. I dunno, maybe 4 years of my life, and since leaving, I have never been as popular as I was then since.

It’s a very strange feeling, remembering the constant communication and comments, all the art I used to pump out, the interest, the fans, the DA friends.

And now I’m just sort of a nobody again. I rarely get spoken too, and the atmosphere on Tumblr is so different in comparison. It’s so weird now to look at popular artists on Tumblr and think ‘wow that used to be me.’

It’s just weird and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I'm just having a strange moment, like this sort of weird realization that I really was popular. I had a reputation that I built up over quite a few years and now I'm just a nobody again. In a weird way, I think it kind of makes me sad.

I guess it doesn't help that I shoved all those GBNaru fans away when I found out that they were still following me, still expecting me to come back to it. I hated that expectation, because I felt like I had all these people who were getting irritated and angry with me for losing interest and doing stuff that I wanted to do instead. I didn't want people like that watching me anyway, but still. I don't regret making that journal and bluntly informing them that I was done with it and that they should not be here for that, but I dunno.
