So around 9 months ago, I started HRT, which was a godsend that absolutely deleted my depression and persistent, invasive thoughts of unaliving myself. Neither of which were wanted, obviously. I wasn't happy. I had no energy, and so on. One of the things they tell you about HRT is that it drives down your libido. I didn't really have one to begin with, but that's neither here nor there. What they don't tell you is how this could affect a person in less subtle ways. I was writing varied content of a certain mature nature for awhile. But after starting HRT, I no longer had any drive or interest in continuing that project. Apparently I'm not the only person in this community affected by this quirk of biology-to-creation. Anyway, I thought for a few months on what to do about it and came to a decision that'll no doubt upset a person or two. Sorry if you're that person. Since that project is cancelled, I have opted to pull it from my gallery permanently. I'm not too pleased by the decision but it's for the best. I will be continuing my original writing project in earnest because I'm finally in the right mental state to actually do this thing. tl;dr Shifting Universes cancelled and deleted; A New Journey is prioritized.
Regardless, due to an incident involving Meat, I made 3 new patterns. Since this site is utter dogshit still; I'm unable to put the "thumbnails" side-by-side.
As a result, I am, with a 98% certainty, not going to be uploading anything new for the foreseeable future. I've tried using it before and I can't drag and organize my content. I have to use these little arrows and it only shows like... a dozen of the first of my images in the folder. On top of that, things are displayed on an infinitely-loading page rather than in groups on multiple pages. And then there's the issue with the folders. Old theme had them small and organized on the side while new theme has them engorged and taking up way too much real-estate. The website design is trash and I refuse to play with trash. If the site devs want to make sure this place is a garbage fire, then I'll find a better place to put up my patterns. They have to stay with the site. We, as a community, don't.
The Sound Of Silence - DA StatementSo Eclipse is Coming
SEE MY LATEST JOURNAL ON THIS HERE:
I'd like to organize a proactive event to show DA the possible results of a permanent Eclipse change-over. Instead of deactivating your accounts for good, or indefinitely boycotting the site, I'd like to make a Statement of Silence for those Users against Eclipse. Starting May 1st, I will not be active on Deviantart. I will not submit new deviations, journals or even visit the site for 3 Days time. From 12:00AM CST May 1st to 12:00am May 4th. (3 days) I ask all other Users who wish to keep old Deviantart to join me in this statement of silence.
Not Only Is Eclipse Difficult to Navigate, It is so close to Plagiarism it isnt funny. How they aren't in a Lawsuit with Artstation is beyond me!
Look at these site comparisons!
