Hello, everyone. I decided to make a rather important journal, for plenty of reasons. I've noticed that my number of daily pageviews have increased recently. In estimation, it's close to being 95,000 views as a total. This surprises me, because during this year, I would reach to the 100Ks. While I don't have a big concern for how many views I get, I do feel happy that various people would visit my page, and I thank you all. 
I am thankful get constant support upon my art, whether they admire it, dislike it, or give helpful advice if I can use improvement. I have made friends with plenty who I sincerely care about, most of them older than me, and those who have more experience in drawing than I do. This brings me to the next topic, Criticism. I will admit, like most of you out there, I can be emotional with criticism at times, and what I mean is, for instance you draw something that seems really good to you, but you get a comment that points out the flaws in your drawing. You're not going to like that, and I understand. However, don't take it personally as if they're being mean, but rather take it as advice, especially if the comment is from an artist who has higher experience in art. Now, there ARE trolls out there, but that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about how criticism is not a bad thing at all. For example, I have anatomy issues, and I get helpful advice from those who have taken it. Overall, everyone has different appeals. Yes, it's good to make what you like and if you're doing it for yourself, but also improving on your work is an even greater value so you can impact more on your own unique style, grabbing more appeal. The last thing I want to discuss is Popularity. On deviantART, many people want to be famous, want to be noticed, and can feel envious of those who have more popularity than themselves. Honestly, it's best to not have popularity as the main objective for being on DA. Fanart (especially Sexy Fanart) is rather the biggest and easiest way to gain views upon your work, because it is very common. However, it's not a bad thing, especially since people admire seeing a different take on the shows they like. Yes, I do a lot of fanart (MLP still gets the most popularity from my works), but recently, I've been deciding to branch out from the usual and to try different cartoon shows and doing more original characters of my own, so I can have more diversity of what I draw. And while it'll have less appeal since plenty of people focus mainly on the sexy fanart, it won't matter to me because I am trying new things. And that's all I can say for tonight. I'd love to hear comments and your views on the subjects, but as long as this is read, I am fine with it.
Total Dramarama - From Badge to Worse
Spoilers, of course. Haven't written about an episode in a while, so I'll briefly talk about today's. "From Badge to Worse" involves Courtney needing a "Make A New Friend" badge, and it appears that she's friends with everyone in daycare, except for Gwen.
With All-Stars and their attempt at making Gwen and Courtney friends failed, this episode to me felt like the writer for this episode wanted to handle Gwen and Courtney's relationship better. That's not to say this episode will fix anything in the long run, but it was moreso a nice several minutes of these two characters interacting, and that's what I really wanted, anyway.

Total Dramarama - Duck Duck Juice
Here's my thoughts on the second episode of "Total Dramarama". This will contain some spoilers, and for those who have seen the episode, I'm sure you'll know what I'll talk about.
This episode involves Jude and Izzy daring each other to drink Chef's "Rainbow Juice", and that leaves them super-hyper. I liked this episode more than "Venthalla". Part of that is due to seeing Courtney in charge and sticking to the rules, which fits her original character. Some scenes with her and Duncan were pretty cute too, showing that she still keep him in line. Also, you get some interesting references, such as a crayon-styled flashback that involves a toddl
Total Dramarama - Venthalla
The first episode of "Total Dramarama" released early. In short, it was decent. I didn't laugh a lot, and I'll still need to get used to the pitched-up/new voices for some of the cast, but at least the episode itself was amusing to watch. It's still funny that after 10 years of Total Drama, we get this kind of spinoff. I'll watch more of it.
In case you're curious which characters of the original cast are in this show, here's the list:
What we knew already: Duncan, Courtney, Beth, Izzy, Owen
What we know now: Leshawna, Harold, Gwen, Cody, Noah, Bridgette
Also, Creepy Child Gwen is adorable.
A Journal About DA
I noticed it's been over seven years since I've made an account. Things have definitely changed in what I create, and how I do it. It's at least interesting to see what a few years does to someone, I suppose. I enjoyed this site a lot back then, wanting to post something everyday, and even doing a lot of RPs.
For the past few months, though, I'm honestly feeling burnt out here. That's not to say that I dislike the site now. I would occasionally check messages to see new art arriving from people I follow, and it's nice to know that some people can still have fun posting a lot of content. I just personally haven't had the motivation to do the
